On May 3 , after the liberation of Hangzhou , Xiang Jiaji , the kuomintang governor of Yuqian County , resigned and left Yuqian on May 5 , handing over management to Xu Da and Lü Guohua. In order to strive for the peaceful liberation of QianXian County, Gao Bin, commander of the 9th Military Sub-district under construction, sent Ding Shijin, the son of The Hangzhou lawyer Ding Busong, to contact local gentlemen in Yuqian to do work for Xu Da and others to urge them to surrender to the uprising.
At the same time, Shen Ziqiu, director of the Tianmu Office of the Jinxiao Detachment, also called Xu Da, urging him to lay down his weapons and abandon the dark and cast light. Xu Da had a close relationship with Wang Yunpei, deputy commander of Zhejiang Bao, director of the Zhejiang Southern Bureau, and in April 1949, Wang Yunpei appointed him as the "Commander of the Guerrilla Forces in Western Zhejiang". After returning to his hometown, he gathered scattered troops from the four counties of Yu (Qian), Lin (An), Xiao (Feng), and Chang (Hua) to form the Guerrilla Command of Western Zhejiang, which had 1 brigade and 5 squadrons under its jurisdiction. The guard platoon of Chen Qixian and Qiu Bocan, the former governor of Changhua County, also joined Xu Da's ranks, and Xu Da appointed Chen Qixian as deputy commander and Qiu Bocan as his personal bodyguard.
Lü Guohua is a native of Yuqian County and is the leader of the Qinggang in Yuqian County. Through Zhang Yimin, commander of the "Sixth Volunteer Courageous Column of the Youth National Salvation League of the Ministry of National Defense in Northwest Zhejiang," he met with Mao Sen, the head of the special agent of the military command, and Mao appointed Lü as the first detachment commander under the column. Lü Guohua established 2 brigades, and appointed Zhang Yunpeng, who had served as the commander of the Kuomintang Miscellaneous Division, as the deputy detachment leader, Luo Chao as the detachment instructor, and Qian Wenqing and Chen Shiyuan as the brigade commanders. Lü Guohua's troops were mainly active between Lin'an and Yu Qian, and from the situation at that time, Xu Da's strength was greater than That of Lü Guohua, but Lü Guohua was always unconvinced.
After being persuaded by Gao Bin and Shen Ziqiu to surrender, Xu Da expressed his willingness to surrender, and on the 9th summoned the key members of the department and Yuqian County to discuss the surrender, and decided to send representatives to Lin'an the next day to negotiate with the TIANMU Office of the CPC. At this time, an accident occurred, at about 12 o'clock that night, gunshots came from the south gate, Xu Da went downstairs to inquire, and was killed by his own guard Qiu Bocan from behind.
It turned out that Xu Da and Lü Guohua had always had contradictions, and after Lü Guohua learned the news that Xu Da was going to surrender, he decided to get rid of Xu Da and annex his team, so he bribed Xu Da's defender Qiu Bocan with heavy money, and agreed to kill Xu Da with the sound of gunfire.
On the morning of the 10th, Lü Guohua led his troops into Yuqian County, claiming that he had shot Xu Da on the orders of the Ninth Commissioner's Office, and issued a notice to the troops receiving Xu Da, and also posted this notice on the street in a vain attempt to conceal the true face of his own annexation of Xu Da's troops.
In the afternoon, Shen Ziqiu of the Tianmu Office of the Jinxiao Detachment found that the situation was deceitful, and called Lü Guohua to expose his conspiracy under the pretense of the special office's orders and ask him to lay down his weapons and dismiss the personnel, but Lü Guohua used the excuse to resign.
Afterwards, Shen Ziqiu reported the situation to Zhang Fan, secretary of the Jinxiao Working Committee, and Zhang Fan conveyed the advice to Lü Guohua to surrender through Yu Baocheng and Ding Shijin, the executive committee of the Kuomintang In Qianxian County. After Lü Guohua annexed Xu Da's troops, their strength increased greatly, and the ranks had grown to more than 700 people, and they wanted to negotiate a price with the Communists, so they sent Zhang Yunpeng, the deputy commander of the detachment, to propose the number and job arrangement after the surrender, so as to prevaricate. And the nickname was: "Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Garrison Headquarters Anti-Communist Salvation Army Fourth Column Detachment Detachment", as a bargaining chip.
The main reason why Lü Guohua was so arrogant was that Yuqian County was located in the western part of Zhejiang, bordering Anhui, and our army was concentrating on liberating Shanghai, at that time there was no PLA garrison in the Lin'an area, and all parts of Lin'an were busy taking over the work, and the provincial party committee and the prefectural party committee hoped to instigate Lü Guohua to surrender and peacefully liberate Yuqian County.
In order to make Lü Guohua accept his surrender at an early date, on May 16, Yu Baocheng invited Lü Guohua's students Jiang Yanling (the head of the Kuomintang Education Section in Qianxian County) and Xiang Dechu (an officer of the Kuomintang Officers' Union in the township) to persuade Lü Guohua to surrender, but Lü had to agree due to the situation.
On May 18, the "Yuqian County Temporary Relief Committee" was established, with Ding Shijin as its director. However, Lü Guohua was not dead hearted, and still conspired with his subordinates to plan a response. On May 25, Lü Guohua played a conspiracy to claim to accept the Communist reorganization and concentrate his troops in the North Gate playground to form a roll call. Zheng Xiehua, Zhao Lin, and others posed as staff members of the Liaison Department of the Zhejiang Military Region and reorganized Lü Bu into the "Fourth Detachment of the Second Column of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui Border Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."
On May 27, the prefectural party committee, the special bureau, and the military sub-district discovered that someone had falsely transmitted orders, and in order to find out the problem, Meng Yong, the commander of the Lin'an County Brigade, was ordered to arrest Zheng Xiehua, Zhao Lin, and others posing as the People's Liberation Army at the bus station. Liang Zhen, Zhao Xiaoping, Qi Yongchang (staff officer of the military sub-district), Yu Baocheng, Qian Kezan, and 8 other cadres from the south were immediately dispatched to take over Lü Guohua's troops on behalf of the military sub-district.
Lü Guohua was sinister and cunning, ostensibly agreeing to be taken over, but secretly arranging for his subordinates to cut off the telephone line that sneaked to Lin'an, and used the excuse to pull the team out of the city and make preparations with both hands. On May 28, Liang Zhen sensed that Lü's department might have changed, and immediately urged Lü Guohua to return to the city. After nearly 20 days of negotiations with Lü Guohua at the beginning of May, Lü Guohua repeatedly, and the Lin'an Prefectural Committee and the Special Bureau decided that they could not postpone it any longer, so they asked the provincial party committee and the provincial military district to send troops to the submarine.
On May 29, commander Gao Bin of the military sub-district and Shi Yangtian, commander of the 309th Regiment of the 103rd Division of the 35th Army of the People's Liberation Army, led the troops into Qianxian County, and Lü Guohuacai led his troops to surrender to the Plaster, and all personnel were reorganized and dismissed by the Ninth Military Sub-district.
On the same day, a meeting of people from all walks of life was held in Qianxian County to announce the official liberation of Yuqian County. On May 31, Zhang Jianting, instructor of the Seventh Squadron of the Four Brigades of the Southern Cadre Detachment, led 59 southbound cadres to Yuqian, and together with Liang Zhen, who had been sent to Yuqian County to command and persuade Lü Guohua to surrender, took over the Kuomintang county government.
On June 1, the People's Government of Yuqian County was established, with Liang Zhen as the county magistrate, and the CPC Yuqian County Committee was also established at the same time, with Zhang Jianting as the secretary of the CPC Yuqian County Cpc Committee. At this point, the Lin'an area was completely liberated.
