As a general of the Northeast Army, Lu Zhengcao had actually become a member of our party as early as May 1937. After that, although he was still working in the Northeast Army, after all, he was "in Cao Camp" but "his heart was in Han", so in October 1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was natural to lead his troops back to join the ranks of the Eighth Route Army.
The landmark event that confirms the formal return of General Lü Zhengcao to the leadership of our party is the "Xiaoqiao reorganization."
Xiaoqiao is a village on the banks of the Tuotuo River in Jinzhou, Hebei Province. Legend has it that one year when the Tuotuo River was flooded, nearby residents fled to two barren mounds along the Hutuo River in order to escape, and those who lived on the dahuang mound called this place dajiao, and those who lived on the xiaohuangtugang were called xiaojiao. As a result, "Big Reef Village" and "Little Reef Village" became the customary village names, and later the word "reef" gradually evolved into the word "tree".
In early October 1937, Lü Zhengcao led the 691st Regiment of the 53rd Army of the Northeast Army in a fierce battle with the Japanese in the Jizhong area. In Meihua Town, Gaocheng County, After Lü Zhengcao killed more than 800 Japanese Kou, he broke through to Xiaoqiao Village in Jinzhou, Hebei Province.
On October 14, 1937, Lü Zhengcao led more than 1,000 soldiers to reorganize in Xiaoqiao Village, and then summoned all the officers and men of the regiment to hold an anti-Japanese oath meeting here, resolutely burned the radio codebook, severed all telecommunications links with the 53rd Army of the superior unit, announced his separation from the Kuomintang army, established the "People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army" in Jizhong, and joined the combat sequence of our army.
After Lü Zhengcao's 691st Regiment was reorganized into the "People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army" in Jizhong Province, he had three cadres under his command, namely Zhao Chengjin, the first commander of the general team, Yu Quankun, the second commander of the general team, and Sha Ke of the third general team.
