The Central Plains Field Army was ordered to go south to prepare for the crossing of the river. At this time, the remnants of the militia and bandits hiding and fleeing in the deep mountains and dense forests in southwestern Henan Province got the news and linked up with each other, got out of the mountains to rob food, burned houses, and attacked the county and district governments, directly threatening the stability of the new regime in southwestern Henan Province. The independent regiment of the 173rd Division of the People's Liberation Army received orders from its superiors and immediately returned to the western Henan region to fight head-on against the crazy bandit armed forces. More than 100 bandits were mostly eliminated, and the remaining bandits went back into the deep mountains and old forests and fled. With the cooperation of the local government, the head of the independent regiment, Yang Zhenwu, established a bandit suppression command.
