Talk about firewood burning.

On the surface, this sentence means: save the land, there will be no one, and finally there will be no land. As long as the people who are guarding now, even if they temporarily lose their land, they can still find a way to get it back. By then, everything will still be ours.

This is a great strategic thought put forward by great men during the War of Liberation in view of the severe struggle situation at that time.

The profound meaning is: in the current situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. Even if you temporarily lose your territory, you should keep the team intact. One day, we can take back the lost territory. In the end, victory still belongs to us.

It can be summed up in one sentence: "If you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood".
