Wuqiao Town, located in the southeast of Yangzhou City, covers an area of 56 square kilometers, with a population of 52,000, and governs 15 villages and 2 communities. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Chen Yi, Ye Fei, Ji Pengfei, Hui Yuyu and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation took this as the bridgehead position and opened up the anti-Japanese base areas in Central Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu. Here, the Suzhong Special Committee, the Suzhong Jiangdu County Working Committee, the Anti-Japanese Military and Political School, the Jiangdu People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Committee, the Jiangdu People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps, and the Suzhong Subei Constitutional Promotion Association have been established successively. Therefore, it is known as the "bridgehead against Japan" and "small and medium-sized Yan' an in the Soviet Union".
