◎People's armed uprising against Japane...
After the Lugou Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937, the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out on full scale. In September, the Northern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee decided that “Eastern Hebei is ready to launch an anti-Japanese armed uprising quickly in coordination with the nationwide war of resistance and the ongoing guerrilla warfare,” and made specific arrangements for the uprising. In that December, Li Yunchang, on behalf of the Eastern Hebei Party Organization, held the Anti-Japanese-aggression People's Congress of 10 counties in Jingdong Area and decided to formally establish the Eastern Hebei Branch of the North China People's Armed Self-Defense Association. At the meeting, the heads of the brigades were appointed, and the action plan and the designations of troops for the big uprising were passed. This rebellion has been a great armed struggle in the war of resistance against Japanese aggression in eastern Hebei, and a great feat on the battlefield behind the enemy lines, catching attention from home and abroad. The brigades conquered nine county seats and many important towns and established eight anti-Japanese aggression county governments, which severely hit the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and shook the rule of the Japanese puppet regime in eastern Hebei. At the same time, it laid a foundation for the anti-Japanese guerrilla war and the establishment of anti-Japanese base area in eastern Hebei.(https://www.daowen.com)
