After the "918" incident, Japan quickly divided and disintegrated hundreds of thousands of northeast troops, and occupied Shenyang, the military and political center of the three eastern provinces, becoming the nominal controller of northeast China.
However, due to the small number of Japanese soldiers in the northeast at that time, they could not send troops to Dongman in time, nor could they establish any way and system for colonial rule in this area. The Eastern Manchurian region has become a "three-way" zone, the anti-Japanese struggle has developed very rapidly, the anti-Japanese contingent has been growing, and the anti-Japanese guerrilla base areas have been constantly expanding.
In order to expand their influence in the region, a group of North Korean spies and politicians actively planned to publicly establish the "Minsheng Group" in Longjing on February 15, 1932.
To say how much influence this "people's livelihood group" had at that time, there was no one. The Cpc's Eastern Manchuria Special Committee was very alert to the emergence of the People's Livelihood League, a reactionary organization. Under their active response, the "People's Livelihood League" had no mass base at all, "but only set up a self-defense force in Chaoyangchuan." After the Japanese established the "puppet state of Manchukuo", it was forced to announce its dissolution in a public newspaper on July 14, 1932.
Although the "People's Livelihood Regiment" was disbanded, the Japanese aggressors, in view of the fierce people's war under the leadership of the Communist Party in the three eastern provinces, established the "Fresh People's Aid Association" in Yanji County after 1934, and most of its members were defectors of the Communist Party and the People's Revolutionary Army, as well as renegade elements in the mass revolutionary groups. Through their colleagues, relatives, and other connections, they constantly spread rumors to the guerrilla zone, creating the illusion that the "people's livelihood group" in the impression of the Eastern Manchuria Special Committee had infiltrated.
In addition, in the fierce struggle, the Japanese did make great efforts to try to infiltrate the guerrilla zone and sabotage the anti-Japanese struggle internally.
These deeds inevitably made the Dongman Special Committee, which was under the pressure of arduous struggle, overly tense, and seriously estimated the situation of the struggle at that time, holding that "the Korean nationalist factionalists and the elements of the People's Livelihood League, mingling together, establishing a system of Japanese traitors within the Party, and occupying the leading organs of the Party, is completely impossible for the Party to carry out the current tasks pointed out in the letter from the Central Committee, and has caused great losses to the Party and the revolutionary movement."
What happened at that time made this expired Japanese puppet group within the Eastern Manchuria Special Committee the fuse for the expansion of the "purge" work in the rural revolutionary base areas throughout the country at that time.
Shortly after the Japanese colonial authorities disbanded the Minsheng Regiment, in October 1932, Song Laohan, secretary of the Laotougou District Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yanji County, was arrested by the Japanese gendarmerie and released by the Japanese gendarmerie only a week later. During the same time period, the county party committee captured two more Japanese gendarmerie interpreters. After interrogation, the two interpreters confessed that Old Man Song was a secret agent sent back by the Japanese gendarmerie.
The county party committee immediately arrested Old Man Song for examination. After severe torture, Old Man Song confessed that he was a member of the Minsheng League, and confessed to more than twenty people. After the raid on these people, more people were involved in the case.
In November 1932, the Yanji County Committee of the Communist Party of China began to carry out a struggle against the "People's Livelihood League" within the county's party and group organizations. From the spring of 1933 to the spring of 1935, the struggle against the people's livelihood groups in the Yanbian area became more and more intense, and many leading cadres of the party organizations and the leading cadres of the workers' and peasants' guerrillas in various counties and the leading cadres of the people's revolutionary army that was later established were arrested and tortured to extract confessions.
Under the influence of "Left" in the CCP in the early 1930s, in the struggle against the people's livelihood, the interrogation cadres "collected materials almost entirely on the basis of confessions obtained during various extremely harsh tortures." The actual situation at that time, no matter who it was, the torturer, Ming was not a people's livelihood group and had to admit it." This is bound to cause serious consequences of being linked together and harming innocent people. During this period, more than 2,000 revolutionary comrades were killed by mistake, and the "Pan Qingyou Murder Incident" and the "Sifangtai Incident" that occurred had a major impact.
Not only that, under the repeated encirclement and suppression of the Japanese and puppet authorities, the base areas were gradually shrinking, and by January 1935, the number of anti-Japanese guerrilla base areas in Eastern Manchuria had shrunk from 8 in 1932 to 2, and by February 1936, they had to abandon the only Guerrilla Base Area in Yanbian, Antu Niutou Mountain, and move to the north and south of Manchuria.
The "Minsheng Regiment" incident occurred in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War in the northeast, and was mainly aimed at Koreans participating in the anti-Japanese work. After the incident, it seriously affected the enthusiasm of the two ethnic groups of the Han Dynasty to unite and jointly resist Japan, also reduced the prestige of the CPC among the masses of the people, and weakened the role of the Eastern Manchuria Special Committee as the core of leadership in the anti-Japanese armed struggle.
Although in 1935, Wei Zhengmin, secretary of the Cpc's Eastern Manchuria Special Committee, stopped the struggle of the People's Livelihood League and liberated the cadres and fighters who were still in custody, the impact of this incident was huge, and it also had a huge impact on the anti-Japanese struggle in northeast China in the future, and caused undue difficulties to the anti-Japanese fighters who remained in northeast China.
