Chapter 3 Chapter 3

At the end of 1947, the flames of the Yunnan people's armed struggle had been ignited. In order to grasp the enemy's situation in time, protect the party organization from being destroyed, and cooperate with the development of the rural armed struggle and the urban democratic movement, in March 1948 Zheng Boke, secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, decided to go to Kunming Cadres were transferred to carry out enemy work with intelligence work as the main content, led by Gao Zhiyuan, a member of the Municipal Working Committee, and directly reported to Zheng Boke.Gradually sum up experience in actual work, clarify the principles and policies of the work against the enemy, stipulate the organizational discipline that should be observed, and establish some strongholds in the enemy army, police, constitution, and special forces to develop organizations.

In June 1948, students in Kunming rose up to respond to students in Beijing and Shanghai who launched a movement against the revival of Japanese militarism supported by the US imperialists. In July, they were brutally suppressed by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and nearly 1,000 revolutionary teachers and students were arrested.In this sharp and complicated struggle, the comrades engaged in the work of the enemy's situation promptly figured out the reactionaries' premeditated suppression of the student movement and the important information on the torture of the revolutionary teachers and students in the prison, which played an important role in defending the party's organization and protecting the revolutionary masses. effect.Zheng Boke felt the need to strengthen the leadership of the enemy's situation work from his actual work, so in September 1948 he established the enemy's situation working group (also known as the enemy's work group).

At the beginning of 1949, the three major battles of Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin ended victoriously, and the complete defeat of the Kuomintang was a foregone conclusion.In order to speed up the work on the enemy's situation, in March 1949, additional cadres were sent to join the enemy's situation working group (the enemy's working group was also called the enemy's work branch at this time), still under the leadership of Gao Zhiyuan.After the peace talks conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries went bankrupt, a million troops of the People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River on April 21 and liberated Nanjing on April 23, announcing the fall of the Kuomintang reactionary rule and the imminent liberation of the whole country.The party organization seized the opportunity to seize the favorable situation, changed the past "long-term ambush" policy and the single-line contact method, and implemented multi-pronged advances, comprehensive penetration, free hands and feet, and proactive attacks.In order to protect Kunming and welcome liberation, speed up the pace of enemy work.

In May 1949, Gao Zhiyuan was transferred to work in Sipu District, and Lai Weimin, a member of the Municipal Party Committee (in 1948, the Kunming Municipal Working Committee was changed to the Municipal Party Committee), took over to lead the work on the enemy's situation. After that, the enemy's situation working group was also called the leading group on the work against the enemy. In September 1949, the Kuomintang reactionaries launched the "September 9 Purge" campaign in Kunming to suppress the revolutionary forces.At this time, the work against the enemy played a special and important role in defending the party organization and the revolutionary masses.

After the Kunming Uprising on December 9, 1949, in order to meet the needs of the situation at that time, the Municipal Party Committee decided to divide the leading group for the work against the enemy into two: the establishment of the Kunming Municipal Party Committee Provisional Army Working Committee. Mobilize officers and soldiers to organize the uprising, defend the fruits of the uprising, welcome the military takeover and reorganization, and establish the Security Department of the Kunming Municipal Party Committee.After intense work such as defending Kunming, suppressing countermeasures, maintaining social order, and welcoming the army, on February 20, 1950, the Chinese People's Liberation Army entered Kunming, and on March 4, the Kunming Military Takeover Committee was established.At this point, the work against the enemy led by the Kunming Party organization during the War of Liberation came to an end.During this period, under the leadership of the Communist Party, nearly a thousand members of the party's peripheral organizations were developed among the enemy's police constitution.

At the beginning, Zheng Boke put forward the guiding principle for the work against the enemy: "penetrate into the enemy's heart, shake and disintegrate the enemy".Later, it was further proposed to "hit in, pull out, drill into the enemy's heart and cook the pot".After a period of work practice, it has been proved that it is extremely difficult to "break in". Even if you get in, you can only serve as ordinary low-level personnel in the enemy camp, and it is difficult to grasp and obtain important information about the enemy.Because the basic backbone of the enemy's military and police special system has all graduated from specialized schools and training courses.On the contrary, with the victory and progress of the War of Liberation, various contradictions within the Kuomintang ruling group continued to intensify, showing disintegration, prompting most people in the enemy camp to have to consider their own future and way out. Part of the power comes to my use. In May 1948, although Pan Shaoqing, attached to the Criminal Police Brigade, was the backbone of the military command, he was out of power and excluded, and he was a cousin of Li Rongguang, the enemy worker group. Political connections were made. In July 1948, Li Peilin, who had graduated from the fifth phase of training in Xifeng under the Military Command, was implicated in the counterfeit drug case at the Yunnan Station of the Military Command due to his ineffective tracking of Communist Party members.In January and February 1949, the enemy situation team secretly delivered warning letters to the KMT’s secret agents in Kunming twice, asking them to put down their butcher knives and get close to the people, and to publicize the policies of the Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army against the enemy. Showing the way out, thus intensifying the division within the enemy.For example, Guo Yinnan, a military special agent who graduated from the training class of the Zhongguan Cooperation Institute, worked in the Kunming Criminal Police Team. After receiving the warning letter, he saw clearly the fate of the reactionaries' impending doom, so he took a long vacation and left the Criminal Police Team to join the guerrillas in Songming. .After the enemy situation team grasped the situation, he was asked to return to Kunming to participate in the enemy situation work. After a practical assessment, he was promoted to join the secret progressive organization "Yunnan National Salvation Justice League".Through various relationships, the enemy worker team has won over a group of personnel similar to the above-mentioned situation, and through their collusion with each other, they have established some security departments in the Police Headquarters, the Criminal Police Brigade, and even in the Public Security Department of the Dian Station of the Security Bureau. relation.The enemy situation working group used the method of "pulling out" to establish relationships in the military law department of the garrison headquarters, the provincial guard battalion, the 13th Gendarmerie Regiment, the Security Regiment, and the Sixth Training Headquarters, and other enemy camps, and developed a secret revolutionary organization.Facts have proved that according to the changes in the enemy camp caused by the development of the objective situation, the enemy worker team flexibly implemented the policy of working against the enemy, and promptly changed the practice of "strike in and pull out" to focus on pulling out and attacking in as a supplement. is completely correct and effective.

According to the instructions of the Party Central Committee and the Southern Bureau, the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China put the "1.21" student movement in Kunming, the "Li Wen tragedy", "anti-hunger, anti-civil war", and "July 15" anti-US and anti-Japanese struggles. A large number of backbones trained and trained in the middle school were gradually evacuated to rural areas and ethnic minority areas to strengthen the construction of rural base areas.The vigorous development of armed struggle in the countryside further promoted the urban patriotic democratic movement and the work of the United Front. In November 1948, the Kunming Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China was established. According to the situation of the People's Liberation Army marching south, the Provincial Working Committee and Municipal Committee strengthened the leadership of the urban democratic movement, developed and strengthened the party organization and peripheral organizations, and further expanded the anti-Chiang united front.These tasks have played a positive role in cooperation and support for the expansion and consolidation of rural base areas.

At the beginning of 1948, according to the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee, after long-term preparations, the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China ignited the flames of armed struggle in mountainous areas and ethnic minority areas where the enemy's ruling power was relatively weak, and the people's guerrilla warfare developed rapidly in Yunnan Province.The Kunming area successively developed party organizations in Lunan, Songming, Xundian, Luquan, Yiliang, Anning, Fumin, Jinning, Chenggong and other counties, formed people's armed forces, carried out armed struggles, established rural guerrilla bases and new people's democratic government.

Armed Struggle in Shilin County In February 1948, the Yunnan Provincial Work Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to focus on ethnic minority areas such as Shilin Guishan and Mitreya Xishan, ignite the beacon of armed struggle, and gradually spread it to the whole province.Under the leadership of the Provincial Working Committee and the Milu Prefectural Committee, the armed struggle in Shilin County started from mobilizing the masses to "anti-three levy" and organizing secret armed forces. After a long and arduous struggle, it gradually developed into a triple combination of the main force, guerrillas, and militias. The powerful armed forces make Stone Forest one of the important bases in the border areas of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou.In the guerrilla warfare three years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, more than 2,000 outstanding sons and daughters of Shilin participated in the second, third, tenth, first and sixth detachments of the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou Border Columns, covering most of Yunnan Region and Guangxi, Guizhou, 127 martyrs gave their young and precious lives for the War of Liberation.After the test of armed struggle, the party organization in Shilin County has made great progress. It has successively established party organizations at all levels in the county party committee, district party committee, township party branch and guerrillas, and established four levels of county, district, township and village. people's power.Organizations such as farmers' associations, women's associations, and children's groups were organized.The armed struggle in Shilin County is an integral part of the armed struggle in Milu area. Under the unified leadership of the party, they fought side by side and supported each other. The Shilin base area was consolidated and developed and became one of the old revolutionary counties in Kunming.

In the winter of 1948, the Kunming Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China planned to organize a small-scale capable armed force in Songming County to carry out guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas on both sides of the main traffic line outside Kunming, waiting for opportunities to attack military vehicles, intercept arms, punish enemy agents, and support us. Patriotic democratic movement in base areas and cities. At the beginning of 1949, the enemy worker group sent Li Rongguang (a member of the Minqing) back to Songming to assist Hu Heguang in raising an armed force of more than 10 people. In March, the team grew to more than 100 people.The unit designation is "Songming Guerrilla Brigade of Yunnan People's Self-rescue Army Against Chiang". In mid-April, the team grew to more than 200 people, and the brigade was expanded into a detachment with three brigades. Hu Heguang was the leader of the detachment, and the masses called it "Hu detachment". In May, Hu's detachment grew to more than 700 people.The establishment of the Hu detachment has received the attention of the Songming underground party and the attention of the provincial working committee. In June, the Provincial Working Committee decided to reorganize Hu's detachment and establish a party branch in the army.Awarded the number of Songxun Guerrilla Brigade, the third detachment of the Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou border column of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.Under the leadership of the Song (Ming) Xun (Dian) Special Branch of the Communist Party of China, the guerrilla brigade was active in Songxun County and the Songkun border area. In October, the guerrilla brigade was ordered to be incorporated into the Bianzong Sixth Brigade, and then moved to Zhanyi, Xuanwei, Huize in northeast Yunnan, and Weining in Guizhou Province.The brigade is not only a combat team, but also a propaganda team and a work team. It has made positive contributions in mobilizing the masses, supporting the construction of guerrilla base areas, combating local reactionary forces, cooperating with the main force to prevent the defeat of the Kuomintang army and welcoming the liberation army to liberate Yunnan. contribute.

Majie (formerly known as Yihe Township) in the north of Yiliang County is located on the border of Yiliang, Songming, Malong, Shilin and other counties, and is a weak area ruled by the enemy.In order to cooperate with the armed struggle in the southeastern and northeastern Yunnan at that time, the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to open up Yiliang Ma Street, establish a revolutionary organization here, develop revolutionary armed forces, and establish a revolutionary base. In March 1948, Hou Fangyue, a member of the Provincial Working Committee, sent underground party member Li Changmeng (Yun Dasheng) to Yiliang Majie Primary School as the principal through the united front relationship of He Fuchen, the manager of Songming Siying Yehe Coal Mine. He secretly developed the organization under the cover of teaching.Later, additional party members and "Minqing" members were sent to Majie, led by Li Changmeng to carry out work in the Majie area. In May 1949, under the leadership of the Provincial Working Committee and the Kunming Municipal Party Committee, on the basis of the labor movement and the peasant movement, a revolutionary armed force of 84 members composed of coal miners, poor farmers and educated youths was held in Majie, Yiliang County. Gongjiaying Village in the township was officially declared to be established, with the designation of "Songyi Road Armed Task Force of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou Frontier Columns".The Provincial Working Committee entrusted Lai Weimin, the person in charge of the Kunming Municipal Party Committee, to personally go to the troops to give instructions and deployment, and sent the troops "Ten Military Principles", "Gutian Conference Documents", "Strategic Issues in China's Revolutionary War", etc., so that the troops learned and mastered the initial Military knowledge and strategy and tactics of guerrilla warfare.Understand the nature, purpose and tasks of armed task forces. It is clear that in the situation where the four sides are white regimes and the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must grasp the combination of politics and military affairs, fight sure battles, not fight wars of attrition, actively organize the masses and establish revolutionary bases. At the end of August 1949, the Songyi Road Armed Forces Brigade was changed to the First Armed Forces Brigade, and the Yilu Lu Guerrilla Brigade was changed to the Second Yiliang County Armed Forces Brigade, led by the Yiliang County Workers Committee. In September 1949, the troops continued to grow and develop after several battles.By December, after the Mingliang Coal Mine and Blowhole Power Plant were liberated, weapons had been added to the First Brigade of Armed Forces, and young workers actively signed up to join the army, and the number of troops had grown to more than 700. The Songyi Road Armed Forces Team has gone through dozens of battles, including attacking Jialing Town at night, taking Bailong Township by strategy, suppressing bandits in Laoye Mountain, eliminating rape and killing harm, and chasing down the remnants of the Kuomintang army. There are more than 10 machine guns, more than 700 rifles, carbines, and pistols, tens of thousands of bullets and a large number of military supplies.It ensured the smooth flow of underground transportation lines, protected the safety of nearby power plants and coal mines, and completed the task of establishing a revolutionary base. Fumin County is the only way from Kunming to Luoci, Wuding, Yuanmou, Luquan and Huili of Sichuan Province. In March 1949, the Yunnan Security Command decided to set up the Fu (Min) Luo (Ci) Joint Defense Brigade to prepare reserve forces for the Yunnan Provincial Security Corps to suppress the people's revolutionary struggle near Kunming.In the middle of the year, the Security Command appointed Duan Junde as the captain of the Fuluo joint defense brigade to form troops in Fumin.Duan Junde once served as the company commander of the 18th Division of the Yunnan Army. In November 1948, he joined the party's secret peripheral organization "Minqing".After Duan received the appointment, he immediately reported to his superior contact Zhu Hua.According to the organization's research, we should use this opportunity to attack the enemy's internal forces and form this team into a "white-skinned and red-hearted" people's army with a legal capacity. In June, Wan Rongren, a member of the Communist Party of China, was appointed by the Northern Yunnan Province to lead the party leadership work in the Fuluo Joint Defense Brigade.According to Duan Junde's performance and requirements, introduced by Wan Rongren and Huang Zongyi, the organization approved Duan Junde's joining the party. In mid-August, the Northern Yunnan Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China approved the establishment of a special branch of the Communist Party of China in Fumin County, and appointed Wan Rongren as the special branch secretary. Some party members and members of the National Youth League were sent to the joint defense brigade to carry out work. In mid-September, the Provincial Security Command held a joint security defense meeting in Kunming, and decided to reorganize the brigades into security regiments to block the westward advance troops and attack the guerrilla bases.After the Kunming Municipal Party Committee received this information, it immediately instructed the Fumin special branch to pull the team out to get closer to the guerrilla bases in northern Yunnan before the county magistrate who participated in the joint defense meeting returned to Fumin, and bring as many weapons, ammunition and military supplies as possible. On September 27th, under the name of "suppressing bandits", the Joint Defense Brigade set off for Luoci. According to the order of Zhu Jiabi, the deputy commander of the "Bianzong", on October 5th, more than 130 people from the whole team arrived in Yangyang County, Lufeng County at 2 o'clock that night. Grass joined the "frontier" westward marching troops and was received by Deputy Commander Zhu Jiabi.Since then, the Fuluo Joint Defense Brigade joined the westward marching force, and later reorganized into the second battalion of the sixth regiment of the "frontier" westward marching force, and moved to various places, making contributions to the liberation of Yunnan. In 1949, in the mountainous areas of Luquan and Wuding counties, a people's revolutionary armed force was born with the Yi nationality as the main body and the children of Han, Miao, Lisu and other ethnic groups. The 15th Regiment Guerrilla Brigade.The local Yi people affectionately call it "Asta Esuo" (meaning our family). In May, Zhang Tianxiang, head of the 25th Regiment of the Third Detachment of Yi Nationality Youth in Luquan, was ordered to lead the 25th Regiment into Luquan and Wuding to open up new areas.While combating local tyrants and reactionary armed forces militarily, extensive political propaganda was carried out to mobilize the masses and establish grassroots political power.Liberation committees of 29 townships were successively established in the mountainous areas of Luquan and Wuding counties. When the 25th regiment was stationed in Luquan Hewai Sanxiang, Jin Hongzhao, a Yi nationality youth in Tanglang and a descendant of the chieftain, sent people to contact the army and asked to bring his own guns to join the People's Liberation Army.After research and decision by the regiment party committee, the head of the regiment Zhang Tianxiang and the deputy director of the political department of the regiment Zhao Shouxian (Yi nationality) went to Jin Hongzhao's hometown in person to explain that the army agreed to accept Jin Hongzhao's more than 50 guns to join the PLA and wait for reorganization. At the beginning of June, the 25th regiment reorganized, educated and trained Jin's armed forces.More than 30 Yi youths voluntarily signed up to join the army. At the beginning of July, the party committees of the three detachments decided to comprehensively train the troops in Qianzhuangma Street, Xundian (now part of Fumin County). Jin Hongzhao led the team there. To more than 150 people, the quality of the troops has improved to a certain extent.The party committee of the three detachments decided to organize this team into the 25th regiment guerrilla brigade, with two squadrons under it, and appointed Jin Hongzhao as the team leader, Li Ximing as the instructor, Zhang Chongde as the deputy team leader (later Zhang Guobin), and Wei Jiaxiang as the assistant instructor , A group of party and youth members and "Minqing" members were sent to the company to serve as team leaders, waiters, and political fighters respectively. At the beginning of September, the Northern Yunnan Prefectural Committee transferred a group of party members and cadres from the local work group to the army to strengthen political work. The guerrilla brigade formally established a special branch with Li Ximing as the secretary.At this time, some progressive students from Luquan Middle School and Xikang Huili, under the organization of the underground party, joined the army one after another. The brigade expanded the third squadron and the political work team, and developed into a team of more than 300 people.Due to earnest efforts to win over and unite the upper echelons of the ethnic groups, even the brothers Zhang Zongjun, a small head of the Yi nationality, joined the guerrilla brigade with more than 10 guns.Yang Hansen, an upper-class enlightened person of the Yi nationality in Yunlong Township, and his daughter Yang Guoxiu were students of Kunming Sino-French University during the Anti-Japanese War and an underground member of the Communist Party of China.After the 25th regiment of the third detachment arrived, Yang Hansen took the initiative to donate money and food to support the guerrillas.Yang Hansen was elected by the masses as the chairman of the township liberation committee, and Yunlong township became a relatively solid base in the Lu and Wu areas. After the guerrilla brigade was ordered to be transferred from the 25th regiment to the leadership of the Northern Yunnan Prefectural Committee, it took on the task of building and defending the base area.In the Lu and Wu Revolutionary New Areas, two months after the arrival of the 25th Regiment, they liberated 29 townships and established township liberation committees.After the 25th regiment was transferred from northern Yunnan.With the cooperation of the guerrilla brigade, the working group of the Northern Yunnan Prefectural Committee mobilized the masses and adjusted, enriched and strengthened the Liberation Committee.At the same time, organizations such as farmers' associations, women's associations, and militias were also established to carry out work such as "anti-three taxation", rent reduction, and interest rate reduction. In early October, Pu Guangzu, a bully landlord in Guyi Village, Yunlong Township, organized reactionary armed forces, attempted to kill local cadres, seized weapons, and launched a rebellion, which was immediately defeated by the guerrilla brigade.The officers and soldiers of the guerrilla brigade regard the base area as their home, and the masses regard their soldiers as their relatives. Seeing that the guerrillas are like the Red Army back then, the masses cordially say, "The Red Army is back!" The 25th Regiment Guerrilla Brigade, from its establishment to its reorganization into the Second Independent Regiment of the Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou border column of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, completed the cover assigned by the detachment and the local party organization in nearly 10 months, and cooperated with the prefectural committee working group to strike The task of dominating the armed forces and consolidating the new area has made this armed force and base continue to grow and develop. On September 19, 1949, under the leadership of the Anning County Special Branch of the Communist Party of China and the support of the Eshan Guerrilla Brigade, Yixing Township and Bajie Town of Anning County staged an armed riot in the Bajie area and established the "Yi (Yixing) Eight (Eight Street) People's Self-Rescue Army", announced the liberation of Eighth Street, and established the "Yi and Eighth People's Liberation Committee".48 of the 52 villages in the Yi and Eight districts have established a people's democratic regime.The success of the armed riots in the Eighth Street area and the establishment of the Yiba People's Self-Rescue Army and the Yiba People's Liberation Committee shocked the Kuomintang authorities in Anning County and Yunnan Province. revolutionary flames.Under such circumstances, with the approval of the Provincial Working Committee, the Anning Special Branch mobilized some party members and league members from Anning and Luoci to Daying Village, Yixing Township on October 8 to join the Yiba People's Self-Rescue Army and establish the An (Ning ) Lu (Feng) Luo (Ci) guerrilla brigade, a total of more than 400 people. On October 30, the 41st Regiment of the Bianzong Ninth Detachment and more than 400 people from the First Battalion arrived at Yixing Township under the leadership of Yu Weimin, the commander of the detachment, and Yuan Yongzhi, the deputy political commissar; the CPC Yunnan Central Committee notified Kunyang County, Eshan County sent more than 100 armed forces teams and basic militiamen to support. On November 5th, the enemy's 16th Security Regiment attacked our Laiwubao Mountain position, but was repelled by us, and the enemy killed and injured more than 100 people.Four of our comrades died honorably, and 12 comrades were wounded.The Laiwubaoshan battle hit the arrogance of the Kuomintang army, smashed the conspiracy to besiege the Eshan liberated area, and defended the guerrilla bases in Yiba and Kunyang's inner nine districts. On November 27, the Anluluo Guerrilla Brigade, a platoon of the 41st Regiment of the Ninth Detachment, and the Yimen County Armed Forces Team repelled the Li Xiyao Department of the Standing Squadron of Yimen County, and liberated the Lanying District of Yimen; Yu Peng of the first squadron led an uprising. On December 21, the Anluluo Guerrilla Brigade was ordered to reorganize into the First Battalion of the Northern Yunnan Rural Protection Regiment of the Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou border column of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. On January 9, 1951, it was reorganized into the First Battalion of the Second Independent Regiment of the Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou Frontier Column of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.The growth of this armed force contributed to the establishment and consolidation of guerrilla bases and the liberation of Yunnan. As early as during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Yunnan Party Organization successively sent party members Li Dehe and Li Qunjie to Kunyang to carry out anti-Japanese and national salvation activities.Kunhua Normal School and Kunhua Industrial School were evacuated to Jinning; Kunhua Girls' Middle School and Huaqiao Middle School were evacuated to Chenggong; Kunhua Women's Teacher and Municipal Girls' High School were evacuated to Kunyang.Party youth organization.The "Chinese National Liberation Vanguard", the Kunshi Party Branch, etc. carried out anti-Japanese and national salvation propaganda activities in various counties. In January 1947, the Yunnan party organization successively sent party members Yang Ce and Zhou Tao to work in Chenggong, Kunyang, and Jinning to actively recruit party members and "Minqing" members among middle school teachers and students in the three counties and in rural areas. After May 1949, the three counties successively established county working committees, county committees and district working committee organizations. In August, the Provincial Working Committee placed Chenggong, Kunyang, and Jinning under the leadership of the Central Yunnan Working Committee.According to the instructions of the Provincial Working Committee, Kunyang and other three counties are temporarily not suitable for armed struggle.The task of the party organization is to accumulate strength, develop party organizations and peripheral organizations in each county; do a good job in united front work; organize farmers' associations and women's associations in rural areas, and carry out struggles against the Kuomintang's conscription, grain collection, and tax collection; Townships and towns, forming a two-faced regime of "white skin and red heart"; carrying out student movements in schools; doing a good job in the task of transferring cadres assigned by the provincial working committee. In March 1949, Wu Yuwen, a member of the party organization of Eshan County, went to the nine districts of Kunyang County to fight for the transformation of Jing Zhenmei's landlord's armed forces. In May, the Eshan party organization sent a working group to the inner nine districts for the second time to develop farmers' associations, women's associations, militias and other organizations, and establish village people's power. In July, Wang Geng, the deputy political commissar of the Central Yunnan Guerrilla Detachment, led a large team to Muzuo Village, Kunyang Neijiu District to help establish the People's Government of Kunyang Neijiu District, appointed Wu Yuwen as the chairman of the district government, and decided to reduce rent and interest in the whole district sports.In Muzhuo and Muchulang villages, Wu recruited six farmers, including Pu Tongming, as members of the Communist Party of China, and established the first rural party group. In October, the Inner Ninth District martial arts team was established, with more than 60 martial arts members, and the captain Bai Zifang.The martial arts team cooperated with the militia, and with the support of the Shi Baoyu platoon of the 41st Regiment of the Ninth Detachment, they defeated the Jingzhenmei landlord's armed forces at the Shicao River in November, and united the Ninth District and the Asan base area. In late October 1949, the enlarged meeting of the Central Yunnan Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed: "It is required to mobilize the masses extensively, immediately launch armed struggles in all counties, and make preparations for the establishment of political power at all levels."On November 23, Kunyang County established the Kunyang guerrilla team in Ganhaizi, Baoshan Township, with 105 members. In early December, after three battles, more than 70 members of the reactionary armed road protection squadron were defeated. On December 11, according to the decision of the enlarged meeting of the Central Yunnan Prefectural Committee in October, the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Sixth Regiment for Protecting the Village in Central Yunnan" was established on the basis of guerrillas. There are more than 300 people in the whole group.The Jinning Rural Protection Corps was established in Zhuyuan Village on December 19, and later compiled as the "Seventh Regiment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Central Yunnan, with more than 200 people. The regiment leader Yang Hongzhang and political commissar Yang Ce; Chenggong County on December 16 The Eighth Regiment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to Protect the Village in Central Yunnan was established in Liujiaying on the 1st, with more than 400 people, the head of the regiment Yang Gui, and the political commissar Wang Mao (concurrently). On December 22, "The Fourth Regiment of the Second Bianzong Detachment (that is, the 41st Regiment of the Ninth Detachment) arrived in Chenggong. The next day, the Chenggong Township Protection Regiment and the first part of the Jinning Rural Protection Regiment cooperated with the Fourth Regiment of the Second Bianzong Detachment. Behind Gaodeng Village and between Zuowei and Zhongwei Villages, they blocked the 8th and 26th Army of the Kuomintang that had fled from Kunming. During the pursuit, dozens of officers and soldiers were captured successively, and a machine gun and dozens of rifles were confiscated. After the establishment of the Jinning Township Protection Corps, the Kuomintang Jinning county magistrate colluded with the Jiangchuan County magistrate and others to organize an "anti-communist self-defense guerrilla army" to resist the takeover and liberation.Due to the instigation and united front work of the Standing Squadron by the Jinning County Party Committee, on January 5, 1950, Wu Jiafu (Minqing), the leader of the Standing Squadron, led an uprising in Sanyin Village, Liujie, and led more than 100 officers and soldiers to Jinning County to participate in the township protection group.The establishment and development of the Kunyang, Jinning, and Chenggong Rural Protection Groups contributed to the fight against local reactionary forces, to blocking and chasing the fleeing Kuomintang troops, and to the liberation of Yunnan. The continuous development of the urban democracy movement in Kunming provided cadres and leading forces for the armed struggle in the countryside, providing political and material support.The establishment of guerrilla bases and the successive victories of the armed struggle formed a situation in which the countryside encircled the cities, which shook the foundation of Yunnan's reactionary rule and strongly supported the development of the urban democratic movement. After the "1.21" student movement in Kunming, the provincial and municipal working committees sent batches of Kunming students, workers, and professional youth who had been tempered by the urban patriotic and democratic movement to the countryside to participate in the armed struggle. After the "Human Rights Protection" movement in 1947, more than 100 exposed party members, league members, and progressive teachers and students in schools were withdrawn to work in rural areas; After the Anti-American Anti-Japanese Movement, the provincial and municipal working committees mobilized a large number of key party members, members of peripheral organizations, teachers and students of universities and middle schools, workers and various professionals to join the armed struggle in the countryside. Before and after the "Nine Nine Purges" in 1949, more than 500 Kunming students, workers, shop assistants, and literary and art workers went to work in central Yunnan alone.So far, the party organization has transferred nearly 10,000 people from Kunming and cities and towns to work in the countryside over the years.Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, a large number of educated youth took the road of integrating workers and peasants, mobilized and organized workers and peasants to resist the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang.In the armed struggle, many educated youths drink bombs on the battlefield.Due to the close integration of urban and rural struggles, the combination of expanding the anti-Chiang united front and concentrating on attacking reactionary forces, and the combination of relying on the people of all ethnic groups and winning over the upper echelons of the ethnic groups, the people's guerrilla warfare in the rural areas of Kunming and Yunnan developed rapidly. In November 1948, according to the instructions of the Shanghai Bureau, the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China established the Kunming Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China on the basis of the Kunming Municipal Working Committee of the Communist Party of China. Secretary Chen Shengnian, members Lai Weimin and Gao Zhiyuan.Since then, Kunming's enterprises, institutions and professional party organizations, which are directly managed and led by the Provincial Working Committee, have gradually been handed over to the Kunming Municipal Party Committee for unified leadership.With the Party organizations in major and middle schools having resumed normal activities, the Municipal Party Committee carefully summed up the experience and lessons of the urban struggle, combined the development of the Party’s secret peripheral organizations with the development of various legal and open mass organizations, and promoted urban The anti-Chiang patriotic democratic movement and the armed struggle in the countryside. Party and league organizations at all levels in Kunming rely on the masses and do everything possible to provide military supplies for the border.In order to ensure the connection between the provincial working committee, the municipal working committee (municipal committee) and the guerrilla areas, grassroots party organizations successively established a number of underground transportation liaison stations from Kunming to all parts of the province to escort cadres, transfer materials, and deliver documents and information.Among them, more than 1,000 leading cadres and young students were picked up from the transportation contact station in Duanguan Village, Yiliang County, and more than 70,000 catties of rice were purchased and transferred to the Lunan guerrilla base.Under the organization of Zhu Feng and others, railway workers used the Sichuan-Yunnan and Yunnan-Vietnam railways to transport personnel, weapons and other materials to the guerrilla base areas. Pick-up stations were set up along the railway lines to ensure the smooth flow of traffic lines. The rapid development of the anti-Chiang armed struggle in Yunnan and the continuous consolidation and expansion of the guerrilla base areas have effectively promoted and promoted the urban democratic movement.After the "July 15" Anti-American Anti-Japanese Movement in Kunming, more than 1,000 teachers and students were arrested.Although the government authorities released these teachers and students one after another due to various pressures, the front-line party and league members among Kunming students had been exposed and had to be withdrawn to guerrilla base areas; The party's underground staff also transferred to guerrilla bases one after another.A large number of party members, league members and activists went to the countryside, which not only strengthened the strength of the guerrilla areas, but also better protected the cadres.The development and growth of the guerrilla base areas inspired and attracted the vast number of revolutionary youths, and "going to the other side of the mountain" became the wish of many revolutionary youths at that time. In March 1947, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Instructions on Initiating Peasant Armed Struggles in Chiang Kai-shek Areas", requiring the party organizations in Chiang Kai-shek areas to "rely on the masses, mobilize the masses boldly and carefully, lead the struggle bravely and prudently, and establish a harmonious society in the struggle." Organize armed forces and rural guerrilla bases.” The Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China followed the instructions of the Party Central Committee, continued to lead the urban democratic movement, and continued to send cadres to the countryside to strengthen and launch peasants’ armed struggle. The two cooperated and closely linked.At that time, as a secret underground communication line connecting the city and the countryside, it became an indispensable and important part of the armed struggle.For this reason, from August 1947 to the end of 1949, the provincial and municipal working committees successively established several concealed underground transportation lines leading to guerrilla areas and base areas in northeastern Yunnan, southeastern Yunnan, and central Yunnan, cleverly breaking through the enemy's checkpoints The blockade, the continuous transmission of information from Kunming to the countryside, the transfer of cadres, and the transfer of weapons and supplies, has effectively supported the armed struggle in the countryside. In February 1947, in order to facilitate the contact and guidance of the armed struggle in Lunan, the Provincial Working Committee took advantage of the opportunity of the director of the KMT Xingyuan Military Station and the Yunnan Tianfu Grain Management Office to establish a private Yiliang Guangde Primary School and sent Communist Party members Chen Jingsi and Zhao Yiqun to Guangde Primary School in Yiliang County, under the guise of being a teacher, established a contact station in Guangde Primary School, responsible for the traffic connection between Kunming and Lunan and other places, and gradually formed a traffic line. In February 1948, the Provincial Working Committee launched an armed struggle against Chiang in Lunan Guishan and Maitreya Xishan, established "a people's army", and opened up Guishan and Xishan guerrilla bases.In order to strengthen the leadership of guerrilla warfare, underground transportation liaison stations were successively established in Kunming and Yiliang.A transportation station was established at Li Shiniang's home in Duanguan Village, Yiliang, with Bi Hengguang, Dong Gang, and students Xu Li and Liu Huikang serving as traffic workers; an underground transportation station at Qixing Village was established at Dong Gang's home in Qixing Village, Yiliang.Dong Gang was in charge, and Dong Kekuan and other four people were successively developed as traffic officers. In order to facilitate traffic communication, a traffic station was established in Shijia Lane near the railway station; in Xiaoduizi Lane, Kunming, Li Shiniang bought a house and established a traffic station. Get in touch with the Xiaodong Street Liaison Station in charge of the underground party member Zhu Hua; in order to prevent the Qixing Village traffic station from being exposed and causing contact interruption, the Provincial Working Committee instructed Dong Gang to build an underground traffic station behind Yiliang Dashan, and Li Hao was in charge of the development. Li Pei, Li Bingshou and others were appointed as traffic officers.The above transportation liaison stations formed an important underground transportation line from Kunming to the guerrilla areas in eastern Yunnan and southern Yunnan. In March 1948, the Provincial Working Committee selected the Fourth Battalion as an underground stronghold leading to the vast guerrilla areas of Yiliang, Lunan, Luliang, Luxi, Mile, and Luoping, and sent Lin Jian (party member) and Qian Daming (" "Minqing") went to Siying Railway Station. After investigation, Li Jialin, the station master, was recruited to join "Minqing" and established a contact point at Siying Railway Station. In June 1949, the Kunming Municipal Party Committee instructed: The suburbs of Kunming are located around the city at the center of enemy rule, and farmers can be secretly mobilized to master weapons, but armed struggle is not suitable.The main task of the suburban special branch is to open up the underground transportation lines in the northeast, northwest and south of the city (on the water), and ensure the connection between Kunming and the border vertical activity areas.According to the instructions of the municipal party committee, the suburban special branch decided that secretary Lu Jiefu would be in charge of the western suburbs; organization member Shi Wanhui would be in charge of the western and northern suburbs; propaganda member Wang Run would be in charge of the eastern and southern suburbs. In August 1949, the establishment of the above-mentioned three traffic lines initially formed a secret traffic network, which played an important role in the "Nineteenth Purge" incident. From August 1947 to the end of 1949, the traffic lines from Kunming to various places mainly include: from Suijing Road (Changchun Road) in Kunming City - Yiliang Guangde Primary School - Lunan and Luxi guerrilla areas; from Kunming Xiaodong Street , Yuantong Street - Yiliang Shijia Lane, Duanguan Village - Qixing Village, Dashanhou - Lunan, Luxi and other places; from Kunming Wuhuashan Buzhu Lane - Siying Railway Station - Yiliang Ma Street - Luopan District; From Hongmiao Village, Xiaoximenwai, Kunming City—Liangjiahe—Minglang Village—to An, Lu, and Luo Guerrillas; from Dayangchang Village in the northern suburbs of Kunming City——Maidi Village——Songhuaba—— Longtou Village—transfer to Song and find the guerrillas; from Kunming Zhuantang—from Dianchi Lake to the ancient city of Kunyang—transfer to Anning and Yimen; from Kunyang County—to transfer to Yuxi, Eshan, and Xinping guerrilla areas; from the eastern suburbs of Kunming The small stone dam - Dabanqiao - Hunshuitang - Songxun guerrilla zone.Under the leadership of party organizations at all levels, comrades on various lines of communication have accomplished various tasks assigned by their superiors: transporting weapons and ammunition. More than 1,000 long and short guns, 4 light machine guns and a large amount of ammunition were sent to Lunan and Luxi guerrilla areas; more than 100 long and short guns were sent to Luopan guerrilla areas.Through the Dianchi waterway traffic line, transport radio stations, weapons, and ammunition to Kunyang and Anning to guerrilla areas.Escorted leading cadres and liaison representatives of Lu Han, escorted Hou Fangyue, Qi Shan and other leaders more than 10 times, to and from Kunming-Yiliang-Lunan-Luxi and other places; escorted provincial working committee and frontier leaders Zhuang Tian and Lin Liming , Zheng Boke, etc. traveled to and from Kunming to the guerrilla zone; escorted Long Zehui, the plenipotentiary representative of Yunnan Provincial Chairman Lu Han, to the guerrilla zone to hold talks with Zhu Jiabi, deputy commander of the Frontier Column, and Zheng Dun, deputy political commissar. 转送干部、师生、工人、职员、先后送往路南、泸西等游击区的师生、工人、职员达1000余人；送往罗盘地区的师生达100余人；昆明市郊区水、陆交通线护送干部、师生达500余人到各游击区。传递省工委的文件和指示、重要情报。先后送往游击区的药品10余箱；运送大米、银元(半开)、一大批革命书籍和地图(三卷)；同时还转移了一批经地下市委搜集的敌特照片和重要资料的收藏。1950年3月军事接管前后，这批照片和重要资料在搜捕敌特时，发挥了重要的作用。 在白色恐怖下，交通员始终严守党的机密，用自己的生命保护了同志。昆明市郊区特支水上交通线的活动，引起了警察局四分局的注意，警察局连续两次传讯特支水上堡垒户、水路负责人李应贤。警察对其拳打脚踢，但他始终没有暴露组织秘密。1949年10月，马荣柱等为执行一项任务到嵩明阿子营，与游击队联络员杨兆斗接上头，在阿子营宿营，不料被县常备队包围，杨光斗被敌人抓住吊打。为了保护同志的安全，杨始终坚强不屈，只字未供。宜良段官村李士娘被捕人狱后，不考虑个人的安危和家庭的得失，敌人采用电刑、压杠和皮鞭拷打审讯，但她丝毫没有向敌人吐露任何实情。为了保护组织，保护被捕同志，她把责任全部由自己和家人承担，并说服其女儿在监狱中编造口供，承担责任，使敌人放松了对其他被捕同志的审讯，免遭敌人的酷刑。党组织在李士娘家建立交通站后，儿子、姑娘、儿媳、孙女都参加了接待过往人员的工作。李土娘从烧水、做饭、护理伤病员、洗衣服到筹备生活费用、传递情报都做了精心安排。“九九整肃”前后，从昆阳转送的410多名干部、师生，都是由昆阳街四铺47号傅学义家、安企村杨湛家、古城李祖德家全力做好接待。有的党组织还通过“农民翻身会”把群众动员起来，掩护过往人员的安全。党组织还认真做好上层人士的统战工作，他们对地下交通线的建立和发展有很大的帮助。昆阳县委在古城这个转送点，首先通过社会关系做好几家士绅的统战工作，向他们宣传党的统一战线政策，宣传解放战争的胜利形势，争取他们的同情和支持。因此，从古城转送的160多名干部、师生，多数都食宿在开明士绅的家里。从昆明乘木船来的干部、师生得到李润墀全家人的热情接待，“九九整肃”事件后，昆明县政府派县常备队抓捕昆明市郊区特别支部书记陆介福，由于在国民党昆明县政府负责地下统战工作的吴盛虞及时传递情报，党组织能尽快将陆介福转移，使反动派的阴谋未能得逞。昆阳县城区在转送从昆明乘船转送来的20多名干部、师生，因下船后未接上关系，便自行向玉溪方向行走。他们在路上引起了国民党昆阳县护路中队谭怀义的怀疑，结果被全部抓捕，移送乡公所关押。县委得知这一情况后，即时派人做乡长尹宪邦的工作，经过争取教育，使尹不得不同意放行。党组织及时将20多名干部，安全转送到了玉溪、峨山、新平等游击区。为了保证联络站、交通员及护送人员、物资和传递信息的安全，党组织规定：地下交通员只能单线联系，不能发生横的关系；为了防止意外，规定了一套特殊的秘密的工作方法，如接头时的预约特征、信号、暗语等，以及万一暴露时的口供和对情报的处理等，事先都有周密的布置，保证了各项任务的完成。 1948年3月，为了及时掌握敌情，中共云南省工委决定，在昆明抽调干部开展以情报为主要内容的敌情工作，先后派市工委委员高志远、市委副书记赖卫民直接领导此项工作：先后成立敌情工作小组，敌工支部，对敌工作领导小组。成员有吉星明、田培宽、田秉熙、朱人杰等。省工委提出对敌工作的指导方针是：“打入敌人心脏，动摇、瓦解敌人”。后来又进一步提出“打进去、拉出来，钻到敌人的心脏里烧锅煮饭”。经过一段工作实践证明，“打进去”极为不易，即便进去了也只能担任一般下层人员，很难掌握和获取敌人的重要情报。根据解放战争我军取得重大胜利的有利形势，敌人内部分崩离析的情况，我们有可能利用矛盾，争取教育，分化瓦解，拉出一些人为我所用。 遂采取了“拉出来为主，打进去为辅”的工作方针。敌工组织开始曾用党的秘密外围组织“民青”及“新联”的名义，吸收敌营中转向革命且具备了条件的人员。不久，即发现它与敌工工作的特点不相适应，万一不慎，还会暴露这两个秘密外围组织。为了适应敌工工作的特点，按照共产党的原则建立既有革命性又有群众性的秘密组织，对开展革命工作更为有利。1948年8月，经省工委批准建立“云南救国正义同盟会”，随着形势的发展，1949年5月，经省工委批准，成立了“新民主主义军人同盟”(简称“军盟”)和“新民主主义警察同盟”(简称“警盟”)这两个党的秘密外围组织；此外还在省府警卫营成立了“中国人民解放军武装工作队”等一些秘密革命组织，分别采取严格认真考核、个别慎重发展、领导严格把关的办法，对敌人军、警、宪、特中适合条件的人员，发展为外围组织成员。至1950年2月，在昆明敌军、警、宪、特中发展了党的外围组织盟员近1000人。为了用公开合法的名义掩护秘密工作的开展，还在敌军中以同乡会、兄弟会等形式，吸收组织敌营中的群众。对一些身分特殊的人员，则只建立政治联系和工作关系，不发展参加党直接领导的秘密革命组织。1948年7月，昆明学生开展“反美抗日”运动，遭到国民党反动派的残酷镇压，革命师生近千人被捕。在这场尖锐、复杂的斗争中，敌情工作的同志及时摸清了反动派镇压学生运动的预谋和监狱里刑讯逼供的重要情报，对保卫党的组织，保护革命群众，发挥了重要作用。 九九整肃”时，反动派逮捕了共产党员及进步人土480余人，军统特务头子毛人风提出名单坚持要杀害200人，并企图借卢汉之手来实施这一阴谋，以便拉卢汉下水，迫使其反共到底。在此情况下，党组织一方面通过统战关系警告卢汉要绝对保证被捕人员的安全，一方面发动社会各方面的力量，积极开展营救工作。卢汉采纳了社会各方面的建议，巧妙地把看管审判权从保密局滇站移交到云南绥靖公署军法处。卢汉又以案情重大为由，故意拖延审判过程，抵制了毛人风、沈醉杀害这批人的阴谋。最后在社会舆论的压力下，卢汉利用蒋介石与李宗仁的矛盾，由代总统李宗仁电令卢汉“酌情从宽处理”，全部释放了被捕人员。 经过一段时期的工作，党在敌人军、警、宪、特中的外围组织有了很大发展。特别是在省府警卫营中发展很快。到1949年9月，在该营中已有党员4人，“民青”、“新联”成员60多人，“军盟”成员92人，“武工队”战士145人。做到营有党支部，连有核心组，排有小组。秘密掌握了这支武装。党组织从警卫营及其控制的人员中选派了重机枪射手，爆破技术员等，携带炸药、导火线、雷管、手摇点火机等器材到边纵参加战斗；省府警卫营营长李焕文(中共党员)派人将边纵驻昆联络站秘密购置的数千套军服、药品、武器弹药、文化用品等封装好，贴上保安司令部的封条转送到边纵；李焕文还从保安司令部取出3套军用地图交游击队使用，为支援“边纵”武装斗争起到特殊的重要作用。卢汉想不到自己的贴身警卫部队竟会直接、间接地为共产党所控制。 在警察系统，1949年9月，已有“警盟”成员70多人，各单位都有了“警盟”组织。昆明起义前夕，警察系统共发展了党员4人，盟员100余人。昆明市警察总局局长李志正，也在起义前夕参加了“警盟”组织，加上一部分中层警官，基本上可以为我所用。敌工组织利用敌警察机关的特殊职能，掩护开展革命工作。警察局里的秘密外围组织成员，利用工作之便，巧妙地取出已盖好公章的空白出入境通行证，供党组织转移下乡的同志使用，让他们能够安全顺利地通过敌人的检查关卡。 “边纵”游击队在禄劝县行军途中遭到地霸武装的伏击，被俘10余人，关押在禄劝、武定两县政府的监狱，共产党员利用保安十二团驻防该地之机，以团长名义出面，声称保安团要扩充兵员，把被俘的10余人要了出来，并将他们送回游击队。敌工组织还派人打入敌二十六军的谍报人员训练班，利用工作关系取得二十六军的电台呼号、波长和密码本交边纵使用。 昆明党组织还通过上层统战关系了解敌情变化，争取中上层人士，收到了明显的成效。敌工小组人员经常保持和知名民主人士、民政厅长、民盟成员的联系，起到了特殊的、别人不能代替的作用。如罗次县地下党负责人被罗次县政府逮捕，就是敌工组通过安恩溥出面疏通释放的。1949年9月，卢汉在重庆与蒋介石密谋准备在昆明大肆逮捕、镇压革命力量后，敌工小组通过杨杰和安恩溥及时了解到卢汉的一些思想动向，为争取卢汉，掌握时机，采取对策，发挥了重要的作用。 敌工组织经过长期工作，到解放战争后期，已经比较全面地掌握了军统在昆明设置的公开和秘密机构，人员分布和大部分军统人员的姓名、住址、面貌特征、照片等资料，同时还获取了保密局在昆明的潜伏应变计划及活动情况。使党组织和革命人民有了充分的思想准备，从而发动群众组织起来保厂护产，防止反革命破坏。 12月9日，国民党西南军政长官张群奉蒋介石之命来昆，筹划布置国民党中央机关迁昆计划。卢汉乘机借张群名义于当晚8时在青莲街官邸召开有国民党第二十六军军长余程万、第八军军长李弥；保密局滇站站长沈醉等一批国民党中央在昆头目参加的紧急会议，一举扣押了这些头目。当天下午5时，卢汉把这项任务布置给其亲信绥靖公署特务队队长龙云青及省府警卫营营长徐振芳，要他们挑选可靠人员，执行任务，并严守机密。龙、徐二人共挑选了官兵21人，其中就有参加共产党秘密组织的19人(党员1人，“民青”、“军盟”16人，武工队员2人)。这些同志经过共产党的教育，接受任务后，严格保守了这一重要机密。当参加会议的国民党军政首脑到齐后，他们扣压了这些反动头目，完成了这一历史性的任务。 卢汉率部在昆明起义后，昆明市委根据当时的形势及昆明的严重敌情，提出镇反肃特、保障昆明社会安定、保卫起义成果的中心任务。起义当局成立临时军政委员会，由昆明市委派出保卫部的三名干部进入该委员会的公安处，直接掌管公安处的工作，依靠过去积累的资料和工作基础，从12月13日起在昆明展开了对敌特和反革命分子的全面搜捕。从昆明起义到军事接管。总共逮捕了敌特及反革命分子1290人。这对维护昆明社会安定，粉碎敌第二十六军、第八军里应外合进攻昆明，起到了重要的作用。 在昆明保卫战中，起义部队暂编第十三军三十八团团长李焕文，接受了中共昆明市委临时军工委“英勇杀敌，保卫昆明，保卫党组织”的命令，他身先士卒，在螺蛳湾血战中，坚守住了阵地，重创来犯之敌，受到了卢汉的表彰。以“军盟”成员为团长的三十三、三十一、三十七团也在团长的率领下浴血奋战，为“坚守待援”赢得了时间。敌军久攻昆明不下，而人民解放军又日夜兼程形成对昆明迂回包围态势，第二十六军和第八军只得仓惶溃逃，昆明保卫战于12月23日胜利结束。 昆明警察系统的起义人员，以“警盟”成员为骨干，在党的领导下积极参加昆明保卫战，后又成立警察联合会，为维护社会治安，协助搜捕敌特，协助侦破三起凶杀抢劫案件等方面，均做出了贡献。 云南地方势力与蒋介石中央之间的矛盾，渊源久远，根深蒂固。蒋介石集团排斥异己的独裁政策，历来为地方势力所不满。这种不满情绪，在地方军警宪特人员中，不时都会表观出来。他们基于一定的乡土观念和桑梓情谊，在昆明的人民民主运动中，只要不触及其地方势力的利益，他们往往采取观望、中立的态度，在地方军政中下层人员中有的还对人民民主运动表示同情和支持。随着东北人民解放战争的节节胜利，滇军一八四师在海城起义，六十军在长春起义，其余滇军或投诚或被歼，这对云南地方势力产生了巨大的震动与影响。党中央深刻分析蒋卢矛盾，制定正确政策，直接部署和进行争取云南地方实力派的工作；对起义、投诚、被俘滇军中下层军官施以反蒋爱国教育后大批资遣回滇，都对云南地方势力产生了积极的影响，他们在云南地方军警宪特人员中有着同乡、同事，同学、师生、旧属、朋友、亲属等等千丝万缕的关系。解放军胜利溶江后，人民革命战争的胜利巳成定局，蒋、卢之间的矛盾逐步激化起来。以卢汉为代表的云南地方实力派逐步由“保已、拥蒋、反共”，转向“保已、拒蒋、容共”。在此形势下，敌工组织不失时机，把握机遇，充分利用云南地方势力与蒋介石中央之间的矛盾，把工作重点放在争取地方势力的军警宪特系统上，经过长期艰苦细致的工作，逐步在云南省政府警卫营、绥靖公署特务队、保安司令部，保安团，警察局。刑警队等组织中建立了据点和情报网，开展了工作，逐步地把地方势力中存在的反蒋情绪汇入到人民反蒋统一战线的洪流之中，从而削弱、孤立和打击了国民党中央顽固势力。 在有利形势下，敌工组织不仅把握时机，提出“依靠下层，争取中上层，孤立反动顽固者”的正确方针。还针对敌人营垒的不同方面和不同层次的特点，提出恰当的对策和工作方法开展工作，从而取得了较大的成效。 地方保安团队的下层土兵，实际上是穿上军装的贫苦农民，深受长官的压迫剥削，渴望解放
