On August 11, 19454, the Party Central Committee issued the "Decision on the Tasks of Our Party After Japan Announced Surrender."
This decision pointed out: Our party's task at the current stage should concentrate its main efforts to force the enemies and puppets to surrender to us. Vigorously expand the liberated areas, occupy all possible and necessary cities and transportation arteries, seize weapons and resources, and let go of the basic armed forces.
the masses.
To achieve this goal, local generals should quickly gather most of their generals, break away from the dispersed guerrilla state, form super-local regular corps, and concentrate their actions to deal with the enemy and puppets.
In the future, the Kuomintang army may launch a large-scale attack on us, and our party should prepare to mobilize its troops to deal with the civil war.
Commander-in-Chief Zhu of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters issued successive orders, requiring the people's armies in the liberated areas of North China, Central China, and South China to advance quickly, collect enemy and puppet armed forces, and accept the surrender of the Japanese army.
All Chinese anti-Japanese troops along Beining Road, Pingsui Road, Pinghan Road and other railway lines and on both sides of all enemy-occupied traffic arteries are required to actively attack the Japanese troops and force them to surrender.
After receiving the instructions from the Party Central Committee and the order from Commander-in-Chief Zhu, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region issued an ultimatum to the Japanese North China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, ordering them to surrender within 24 hours.
At the same time, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region concentrated the main forces of each secondary military region and marched towards enemy-occupied large cities such as Beiping, Haigu and Zhangjiakou.
Received the main force of the Central Hebei Military Region and began to advance towards Haigu.
The troops from the 8th, 9th and 10th districts of Jizhong, while mopping up the remaining enemies in the hinterland, marched towards the outskirts of Haigu, Pinghai, Pingjin line and Jinpu line.
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing issued three orders: First, the people's army in the liberated areas should be stationed on the spot and on standby, and no unauthorized action should be taken against the enemies and puppets; second, the Kuomintang troops should actively advance and not relax; third, the underground troops in the occupied areas should be
and puppet troops in various places, each stationed in the area, responsible for maintaining local security and resisting the surrender of the Eighth Route Army.
MacArthur, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in the Far East, issued an order: The Japanese government and the Japanese troops in the Chinese Theater were ordered to surrender only to the Chongqing government and its troops, and were not allowed to surrender their arms to other armed forces.
Lu Chengzhou, who was at the Haigu Station of the Military Command, naturally received the order.
Dai Li ordered him in the telegram that the Haigu Anti-Japanese Brigade should play its role, immediately contact the puppet troops in various places, accept the puppet troops' surrender and change anyway, and resolutely stop the Eighth Route Army from entering Haigu.
After Ma Yuzhen saw the telegram from Chongqing, she asked worriedly: "What should I do?"
Chongqing went against the order of the organization, and Lu Chengzhou, who was caught in the middle, was the most difficult to do.
Lu Chengzhou smiled, gently hugged Ma Yuzhen, and said softly: "What is there to hesitate about? We are members of the party, and of course we must resolutely implement the organization's orders."
Ma Yuzhen frowned: "But, you will be exposed..."
Lu Chengzhou said firmly: "What was the purpose of joining the anti-Japanese organization in the first place? If our army occupied Haigu, what would it matter if my identity was exposed?"
At this time, he felt that it was time for him to take a stand.
He can reveal his identity at any time as long as the organization needs it.
And at the last moment, it caused the greatest losses to the military commander and the Chongqing government.
However, Lu Chengzhou suddenly received an order from Li Xiangxue, asking him to carry out the orders of the Chongqing government.
At present, it is not time for Lu Chengzhou to be exposed.
Lu Chengzhou made outstanding achievements during the Anti-Japanese War and won the trust and appreciation of Dai Li.
Even Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing had heard of Lu Chengzhou's name.
Since our party is likely to have a civil war with the Kuomintang army, Lu Chengzhou's status as military commander becomes particularly important.
Although Lu Chengzhou really wanted to fight with his comrades, the orders from his superiors must be resolutely implemented.
Even, in order to prevent Lu Chengzhou from being suspected by Chongqing, the Communist Party members in the Haigu Anti-Japanese Brigade were not exposed for the time being.
As for the troops formed by this road, they are still under the military command.
On August 15, 1945, the Japanese Emperor broadcast to the entire country of Japan, accepting the Potsdam Proclamation and unconditionally surrendering to the Allies.
On the same day, Japanese troops stationed in various parts of China began to shrink to large cities and transportation arteries.
The Japanese troops in Ninghe gathered towards Haigu, Lutai, Tangshan and other places and the Beining railway line.
The Japanese troops stationed in Baodi County withdrew to the Haiguang Temple Barracks in Haigu and handed over a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Baodi County Government.
After Lu Chengzhou learned of this information, he quickly passed it to our army around Baodi County through the Anti-Japanese Alliance, asking them to quickly receive this batch of weapons and equipment.
The next day, the Japanese troops stationed in Donggu Port, Wangqingtuo and Huanghuadian in Wuqing County also withdrew to the Haiguang Temple Barracks.
Lu Chengzhou contacted Liu Shengzu as a flame, and on behalf of the Chongqing government, he reorganized Liu Shengzu's Third Army into the Third Army of the North China Advance Army directly under the central government.
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing ordered the North China Appeasement Army to be reorganized into the Kuomintang's North China Advance Army.
Our army and the Chongqing government are stepping up their efforts to receive the puppet troops and occupy the Japanese-occupied areas.
The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region even appointed our party’s Haigu garrison commander and Haigu mayor.
However, on August 22, the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission issued instructions: changing the policy of using the main force to capture large cities and transportation thoroughfares, and shifting to focusing on capturing small and medium-sized cities and vast rural areas, expanding and consolidating the liberated areas, and making long-term plans.
The main forces in each district were required to move from the vicinity of large and medium-sized cities such as Beiping, Haigu, Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, and Taiyuan, and return to the interior and the edges of the liberated areas to capture the towns and vast rural areas occupied by the Japanese and puppets, and rapidly expand the liberated areas.
In late August, Li Xiangxue from the Urban Engineering Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau came to Haigu again.
Soon after, the Jizhong District Party Committee held a Haigu work seminar at Deshengkou.
The discussion meeting decided that the current work policy in Haigu is: siege and threaten Haigu, actively carry out work in the suburbs, organize the masses, arm the masses, gradually compress into the city, and enter the city with cameras.
The meeting also established the Haigu Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, referred to as the IOC, and known to the outside world as the IOC Liberation Committee based on the decision of the superiors.
Secretary Chu Lunzhi, the official temple is in Yangfenggang.
At this meeting, it was decided that the IOC would provide unified leadership for the underground relations among various systems in the city.
At present, there are more than 120 party members led by Jizhong, Jidong and Bohai in the city, and more than 100 members of the Anti-League. Among the 33 universities and middle schools in the city, 20 have party members led by various systems and members of the Anti-League.
, and members of other peripheral organizations. There are also party forces in several major textile factories and railway systems in the city.
The IOC decided to establish the Haigu Underground Army. Its mission was to destroy the enemy's and puppet's ruling order, safeguard the interests of the people, lead unemployed workers, coolies, and urban poor, and confiscate materials from the enemy, puppet, and traitors.
In order to facilitate military encirclement and economic blockade outside the city, publicize the masses in the city, and mobilize revolutionary forces, the IOC decided to establish five municipal sub-committees to divide the regions in the form of a combination of inside and outside the city and actively carry out city efficiency work.
Squeeze into the city, cooperate with the inside and outside, and seize Haigu.
