It means that when nine thousand Jian'er of the New Fourth Army set out from Yunling to fight against Japan, they were besieged and annihilated by the Kuomintang diehards. As a result, most of these national elites were killed and the pillars were destroyed. It is sad to tears that the two thousand Jian'er who broke out of the encirclement gradually grew into the pillars of the country and the people in the struggle, just like the two towering Optimus pillars and the pillars on the pillars The seven unit Memorial gallery and nine Memorial pillars also symbolize that after the South Anhui Incident, the New Fourth Army continued to grow into an anti Japanese team of more than 90000 people in seven divisions.
