Today, 83 years ago, on March 23, 1942 (February 7, 1942 in the lunar calendar), Chiang Kai-shek ordered the temporary suspension of the anti-Japanese mission, and the Kuomintang army suppressed bandits. Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Kuomintang army to "first eliminate the traitors and puppets in the south of the Yellow River", which required Cheng Ruhuai's department in eastern Hubei and Li Xianzhou's department in northern Anhui to "really cooperate to block the contact between the traitors and puppets and attack them"; And ordered that "during the bandit suppression period, the attack tasks of each group against the enemy will be temporarily suspended."
