The book was first published by the Zhanwen Press in 1939 and contained 8 short stories by Qiu Dongping:"e;Marching to the Rear Area of the Enemy"e;, "e;The Armed Political Detachment"e;, "e;Story under the Iron Heel"e;, "e;Interception"e;, "e;The Ranks that Trumpet the 'Imperial Way'"e;, "e;Mother"e;, "e;Destruction of the Enemy's Stronghold Dongwan"e; and "e;Using the Tenacity of Fighting on the Battlefield"e;.The manuscript was an early publication of the New Fourth Army collecting the earliest works of Qiu Dongping after he joined the fight against Japanese invasion. The work was not widely known then and has remained in obscurity.Its value lies in two facts: first, it documents the New Fourth Army's activities in the enemy's rear area and depicts the growth of the anti-Japanese force, which served to inspire the national pride and determination; second, the well-wrought subject and vivid and engaging description are of prominent artistic significance.
