In the autumn of 1934, the Manchurian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China began to form the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, with a total of seven armies, and in 1936 four more armies were reorganized into the 11 armies, which were organized into the First Route Army, yang Jingyu, the commander-in-chief; Zhou Baozhong, the second route army, commander-in-chief; Zhao Shangzhi (later Li Zhaolin), the third route army, with a total number of 45,000 people.

The Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army is a powerful anti-Japanese people's armed force in the northeast led by our Party.
However, after 1938, the Japanese army stepped up the "sweeping" against the Japanese coalition forces, which caused serious setbacks to the anti-Japanese coalition forces. In particular, the sacrifice of Comrade Yang Jingzi in January 1940, by the end of 1942, the anti-coalition team had less than a thousand people.
In view of the dangerous situation, the Northeast China Party Committee (formerly the Manchurian Provincial Party Committee) decided to transfer the backbone of the Anti-Japanese Coalition to the territory of the Soviet Union. As a result, the backbone of the Zhou BaoZhong Anti-League withdrew to the Siberian region in the Soviet Union.
On August 9, 1945, the Soviet army sent troops to our northeast to deal a powerful blow to the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in the northeast, and annihilated the elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese army invading China in one fell swoop and destroyed the puppet state of Manchukuo.
With the change of the situation, the backbone of the Anti-Japanese League, who had originally retreated to the territory of the Soviet Union, also returned to the northeast one after another under the arrangement of the party organization. Today, Ding Jinlong, a small editor, will tell you about what batches of backbone cadres of the Anti-Japanese Coalition who returned to China after the Soviet army sent troops to the northeast.
At the beginning of September 1945, our Northeast Bureau quickly connected with the Northeast Party Committee in the Soviet Union and asked them to leave for return.
