The anti-Japanese struggle in bright areas began.
On October 12, 1938, the Japanese army landed in Daya Bay and began a full-scale invasion of South China. The situation in Baoan, not far from Daya Bay, is very serious. Zhang Guangye, secretary of the CPC Dongbao Border Working Committee, and others evacuated to Guanlan Zhangge and Baihuadong.

On November 23rd, in order to consolidate its occupied area, the Japanese army occupying Guangzhou carried out crazy "mopping-up" along the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway. When the Japanese army returned to the division to "mop up", the Dongbao Border Working Committee informed the armed forces to concentrate on Zhangge to deal with the Japanese army. The 913 regiment of the 153 rd Division of the Kuomintang Army was defeated by the Japanese army, and more than 200 people retreated to Baihuadong, losing contact with the division headquarters, in a difficult situation, and their morale was shaken. The Working Committee of Dongbao Border Region immediately sent people to work for the head of the regiment, encouraged them to stay and persist in the war of resistance, and set up a temporary political department in the regiment, and the Working Committee sent more than 20 people to the regiment to do political work. The director of the Political Department is Qiguang Wang, and the deputy director is Cai Zipei.

Scenes of anti-Japanese heroic epic will go down in history forever.
(1) Stop the stubborn Kuomintang army.
During the tense critical period of anti-Japanese war, the Kuomintang die-hards kept harassing the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. In the early spring of 1941, thousands of stubborn Kuomintang troops attacked the centers of Yangtai Mountain’s anti-Japanese base areas such as Guanlan and Longhua Town. The Fifth Brigade of the Guangdong People’s Anti-Japanese Guerrilla took advantage of the favorable local terrain and adopted flexible tactics to drive out the stubborn army. But the stubborn army was unwilling to fail and attacked again. The Fifth Brigade of the Guangdong People’s Anti-Japanese Guerrilla went around behind the stubborn army, severely attacked the stubborn army’s follow-up troops in Daping and Baihuadong, and attacked the stubborn army’s arsenal in Kucao Cave in Qingxi, forcing the stubborn army to withdraw from the base area.

In the course of the battle, Lin Wenhu, the captain of the short spear of the Guangdong People’s Anti-Japanese Guerrilla, fought hand-to-hand with the enemy in the rush, killing three Japanese soldiers in a row.

In October 1943, it cooperated with the troops to crack down on a Kuomintang secret service organization and wiped it out.
