The most classic of Chen Yi’s touching deeds.

Under the correct leadership of Chen Yi, the guerrillas in the Jiangxi-Guangdong border area continued to grow and develop, like a sharp sword inserted into the enemy's heart. In order to eliminate the guerrillas, the Kuomintang reactionaries carried out brutal military crackdowns and economic blockades. They also hunted Chen Yi and Xiang Ying everywhere, and posted notices claiming that Chen Yi would be rewarded 30,000 yuan in foreign exchange for their capture. In 1936, after the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident, Chiang Kai-shek dispatched his direct troops, the 46th Division, to launch a new campaign against the guerrilla zones on the Jiangxi-Guangdong border in August and September. The division commander Dai Sixia was called a bunker expert by Chiang Kai-shek. When attacking the guerrilla base areas, he used his best trick, moving the bunkers up mountain passes and into mountain pits to attack the guerrilla base areas. The soldiers and civilians of the Jiangxi-Guangdong Border Region achieved victory in the suppression campaign by the Kuomintang troops and preserved the revolutionary base area, but they also paid a heavy price in blood. Many soldiers and civilians, including the guerrillas and some major leaders of the border region, died heroically in the battle because of traitors' informants. Chen Yi himself also encountered accidents many times. In the winter of 1936, the enemy troops conducted a large-scale clearing of Meishan, where Chen Yi was stationed, for more than a month. Use police dogs to track during the day and use search lights to search at night. Due to his leg injury and illness, Chen Yi had difficulty moving. He was besieged by the enemy in the jungle for 20 days in Meiling. At the critical moment when he could not escape, he spoke generously and wrote "Three Chapters of Meiling". On the bottom of my clothes, as my own death poem. The small preface before the poem was added later by Chen Yi. This small preface briefly explains the situation when the poem was written. The "Xuan Enjie" in the small preface means: on the day he left his last poem, the enemy did not enter the mountain to search and suppress him, and the mountain was very calm the next day. Someone was sent down the mountain to inquire about the news, and it turned out that the Xi'an Incident had occurred. The 46th Division of the Kuomintang hurriedly withdrew from the vicinity of the guerrilla zone, and some local armed forces huddled in bunkers and did not dare to come out, so Meishan was able to relieve the siege.
