Chapter 4 Chapter 04 Go deep into the enemy camp and establish a stronghold to welcome the liberation of Kunming
In the summer of 1941, the Southern Bureau appointed Zheng Boke as secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China.According to the basic policy of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China that "the basic policy for the relationship between various classes in the country is to develop progressive forces, win over middle forces, and isolate anti-communist diehard forces", the focus of united front work is to win over local power factions, and strive to expand anti-Chiang patriotic democratic unity front.
In Yunnan at that time, the contradiction between Chiang Kai-shek’s government and the local government was very prominent. The popular currency on the market included the central bank’s legal currency and the Yunnan bill issued by the Fudian New Bank; there were central banks such as the Central Bank, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, and the Farmer’s Bank of China. , there are also Fudian, Xingwen, Quanye, Yongye, Yihua and other local banks; the military has five central military garrisons, and two local military and security regiments; there are central military police patrolling the streets of Kunming The 13th regiment, as well as the gendarmerie of the local Yunnan-Guizhou appeasement office (the so-called central gendarmerie and Yunnan gendarmerie); in terms of party and government, there are the Kuomintang central party and regiment system, as well as the local government system.In short, from the economic, political, military, cultural and other systems, they intrigue with each other.After Lu Han came to power, he adopted an attitude of supporting Chiang Kai-shek and protecting himself politically. On the one hand, he followed Chiang Kai-shek to suppress the Yunnan People's Revolutionary Movement;Contradictions continued to exist between Chiang and Lu, and the struggle for control and anti-control was ongoing.According to the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Southern Bureau, the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China took advantage of the conflict between Jiang and Lu to treat them differently, and adopted a policy of fighting and winning for the local power faction headed by Lu Han, focusing on winning.During the "December 1st" Movement, according to the party's policy, it was to concentrate all forces to attack Li Zonghuang, Guan Linzheng, and Qiu Qingquan, the direct descendants of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Committee; to strive for Lu Han to remain neutral under certain conditions, and to seek mutual compromise and concessions.After struggles, after Chiang Kai-shek was forced to telegraph Lu Han to "be patient and handle it carefully", he suspended the coffin and resumed classes on the condition that Lu Han accepted the conditions proposed by the students, and achieved a major victory in the "December 1st" movement.
In the Li and Wen massacre in 1946, Huo Kuizhang of the Kuomintang Kunming Garrison Headquarters spread rumors that the assassination of Li and Wen was a local force in Yunnan. At the same time, he arrested Yang Zhuan, the deputy director of Long Yun, and forced Yang Zhuan to admit that the assassination of Li and Wen was instigated by Lu Han. Asked Yang Zhuan to hand over the murderer and the list of CCP’s underground party and progressives, then arrested nearly a hundred so-called suspects in Kunming, and seized 40 progressive newspapers and periodicals, in order to realize his goal of destroying the CCP’s underground party in Yunnan, cracking down on democratic progressives, and eliminating local forces Purpose.The Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China fought tit-for-tat, mobilized the masses to expose the enemy's conspiracy, and strongly supported and won over the local power faction in Yunnan. On July 21, the Kunming Student Federation, an underground party organization in Yunnan, distributed leaflets on the streets, exposing the plot of spy chief Tang Zong to arrest Longyun's adjutant Yang Zhuan in Kunming.After the various schemes played by the Kuomintang reactionaries went bankrupt, Huo Kuizhang directed the scandal of "public trials" of criminals, and shot two small spies as scapegoats.
With the development of the victory of the National War of Liberation, under the situation that the urban democratic movement is rising day by day and the people's armed struggle in Yunnan is flourishing, and encouraged by the party's united front policy, the local power factions in Yunnan have united and struggled through the underground party. After repeated strategies, Lu Hancai finally changed his political attitude from "supporting Jiang and protecting himself" to the track of "uniting with the Communist Party and opposing Jiang and protecting himself", and finally realized the Kunming Uprising.
After Lu Han came to power, the Provincial Labor Committee sent Eugen and Zhang Zizhai to contact Zhang Chong and asked them to get Lu Han to participate in the anti-Chiang movement.Bai Xiaosong, the patriarch of the national defense, had high prestige among the local upper class. Yan Dafu from the provincial labor committee introduced him to the situation in the liberated areas, sent him books on progress, and approved provincial senator Tang Yongjiu (member of the Communist Party) His influence filled him with patriotic zeal, dissatisfaction with Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary policies, and sympathy for the democratic movement of young students.During the "Anti-American Anti-Japanese" movement in 1948, he stepped forward, contacted Su Honggang, Xu Jiarui, etc. to initiate signatures, and won a group of social celebrities to write to Lu Han to support the students.
In the winter of 1948, the Provincial Working Committee decided to form a united front team consisting of Guo Peishan, Li Jianqiu, and Wu Bangyan, with Guo Peishan as the team leader.Guo Peishan directly contacted the party group in the press, which contacted Communist Party members and peripheral organizations in local newspapers such as People's Daily, Justice, Observer, and Da Guan Bao to publicize party policies.These newspapers sometimes published the full text of Mao Zedong's statement of the Party Central Committee, the Xinhua News Agency's telegram, and spread the victory news of the liberation war.Li Jianqiu contacted Fei Bing, Liu Gefei, and Zhang Zhizhong to work among local military and political personnel.Wu Bangyan contacted the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang and the China Democratic League to work among the members in Kunming.
In August 1948, in order to carry out work in Kunming's military, police, constitution, and special forces, the Provincial Working Committee approved the establishment of the "New Democratic Military League", "New Democratic Police League" and "Yunnan Justice and National Salvation League". The camp divides, disintegrates, and fights for jobs.Lead and unite those who are willing to be close to the people, and use legal struggle to isolate and attack reactionary diehards.
In 1948, the Provincial Working Committee decided to form a united front team consisting of Yang Qingtian, Tang Yongjiu, and Ma Yao, and Zheng Boke, secretary of the Provincial Working Committee, would directly contact them.In the Provincial Senate, the idea of safeguarding the interests of the local people in Yunnan was carried out, uniting the progressives among the senators, winning over the middle forces, and isolating the reactionary supporters of Chiang Kai-shek. On April 1, 1946, the first council of Yunnan Province was formally established. In the summer of 1946, Yang Qingtian, Tang Yongjiu, Ma Yao, Gan Shun, Zhang Tianru, Sun Tianlin, Liu Shuqing and others organized and launched the "Yunnan Local Autonomy Promotion Association" according to the spirit of the old CPPCC to promote local autonomy. Supported by a large number of senators including Li Xingcha, Li Huanruo, and Xu Yaxiong. "Local autonomy" to a certain extent catered to the idea of "Dian people governing Yunnan", so it was supported and participated by a large number of senators.Since Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale civil war in June 1946, with the victorious development of the War of Liberation, the party organization has expanded and united local forces, won over the local power faction headed by Lu Han, and actively carried out the "anti-three levy" (conscription, grain requisition, taxation) and support the anti-civil war and anti-dictatorship struggles with the student movement as the main content.
Actively support the patriotic democratic movement centered on the student movement.In response to the crime of arbitrary arrest and suppression of the Kunming student movement by the Kuomintang military and police, in May 1946, at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Senate, Ma Yao and others successively proposed: "Please reduce the number of troops stationed in order to reduce the burden on the people and the troops stationed in Yunnan shall not directly arrest people. Proposals such as "arbitrary inspection of people to safeguard human rights" and other proposals, due to the active support of progressive forces, the senator's proposal to safeguard the local rights and interests of Yunnan and oppose the arbitrary arrest of people by the garrison (referring to the garrison command) was supported by some senators.In the event of Li and Wen, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Senate Council held an emergency meeting. Senators Sun Tianlin and Gan Shun spoke at the meeting: they demanded that the murderer be "captured and brought to justice" to clarify the truth, and that those who are directly responsible for public security in the area where the accident occurred should be punished "The spearhead pointed at Huo Kuizhang: the provincial council reiterated that the Kuomintang troops stationed in Yunnan shall not arbitrarily arrest and search residents. After various struggles, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to announce Huo Kuizhang's dismissal, and He Shaozhou succeeded as the commander-in-chief of Yunnan's garrison, and Lu Han was also the commander of security. And reorganized the 4 security corps into 4 security regiments, and expanded into 6 regiments in September, under the command of the security headquarters: since He Shaozhou was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the security in July 1946, relying on him as He Yingqin's nephew, he has been flying high and high In order to strengthen his own political and military power, Lu Han was monitored and constrained by He Shaozhou everywhere. The provincial council passed the information provided by Lu Han’s adjutant and filed a complaint with the KMT Central Committee, exposing He Shaozhou, the commander-in-chief of Kunming’s garrison, for stealing guns, smuggling and drug trafficking This crime forced Chiang Kai-shek to abolish the Yunnan Garrison Command in February 1949 and transfer He Shaozhou away, further expanding the anti-Chiang patriotic united front.
Due to the party's united front work and the mutual cooperation between the provincial council and the provincial government, it has continuously resisted the control of Yunnan by the Kuomintang Central Committee. Gradually turn to the road of "uniting the Communist Party and opposing Chiang Kai-shek".
In 1949, in the late period of the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek vainly tried to use Yunnan as an "anti-communist revival base". Chiang Kai-shek transferred the 8th Army of Hu Zong and Li Mi to Yunnan, and the Liu Bolong Department of the 89th Army of the Central Committee also rushed to Qujing in eastern Yunnan.In order to seize Yunnan, Bai Chongxi, the leader of the warlords of the Guangxi faction, set up the Appeasement Office of the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi Border Region, appointed his confidant Zhang Gan as the director, and sent the 303rd Division of the Guangxi Army to Baise to prepare to enter Yunnan.
At the beginning of June 1949, Bai Chongxi set up the Appeasement Office in the border area of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou in the name of the military and political chief of Central China. Li Pinxian, the deputy chief, sent a message to the Yunnan Provincial Government saying: "The 303rd Army Division has been sent to Baise and is preparing to go to Yunnan to assist in suppressing bandits." Lu Hanfu The telegram refused, but Li Pinxian ignored it. Two regiments of the 303rd Division have entered Funing County, Yunnan, and moved to Guangnan. On June 8, 1949, 21 people, including Ma Yao and Liu Shuqing, made an urgent motion at the Standing Committee. After discussion, it was agreed that: "(1) There are no bandits in Yunnan, but they were forced out of the bandit suppression caused by Latin food collection. Civil uprising, can it be suppressed again? (2) Bai Chongxi wanted to preserve his strength, and it was a conspiracy to direct the war to Yunnan; (3) The governor's jurisdiction in Central China does not include Yunnan, and the southwestern provinces have already set up Sui agencies, so there is no need for neighboring provinces to act on their behalf? Decided to telegraph Acting President Li Zongren and Executive Premier Yan Xishan first, please stop the Guangxi army from entering Yunnan", claiming that if they did not get a satisfactory answer, "the people of Yunnan had to send telegrams to all counties in the province to fight for their survival."
On February 13, 1949, focusing on opposing Chiang Kai-shek’s use of Yunnan as an anti-Communist base, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Senate Council unanimously passed a request to the provincial government to stop press censorship. Lu Han finally agreed: At that time, except for the Central Daily in Kunming, all other All newspapers competed to publish the real news about the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
On July 6, 1949, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Senate Council forced the Kuomintang Central Army in Yunnan to exchange the military salaries for half-open (Yunnan cast silver dollars) in exchange for gold; protested the relocation of the 53rd Arsenal to Taiwan, etc.Through the above struggles, the so-called "organization of public opinion" that the Kuomintang reactionaries pretended to be "returning power to the people" was gradually turned into an organization of public opinion that opposed Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship and won houses for the people, and became a tool for opposing the Kuomintang reactionaries.
The Dian army is the pillar of the local powerful faction in Yunnan to maintain the rule. It uses the soldiers trained in the Yunnan Lecture Hall as the backbone.During the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Yunnan Provincial Provisional Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a group of party members to the Yunnan Army to carry out political work and promote the national revolution.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, driven by the anti-Japanese national united front, the Yunnan underground party successively sent a group of party members and progressive youths to the 60th Army and the 58th Army to carry out propaganda and education work. , Xue Zizheng, and Zhang Zizhai (Bai nationality) went to work in the 184th division and established a secret party branch in the division. At the end of 1940, Zhu Jiabi was sent back to Yunnan from Yan'an to carry out the work of the Yunnan Army.
In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale civil war and transferred all the Yunnan Army to the northeast.The Party Central Committee attached great importance to the situation of the Yunnan Army. In April 1946, Liu Shaoqi and Zhu De personally deployed the work of fighting for the Yunnan Army Uprising in Yan'an.The Party Central Committee specially organized the Yunnan Army Working Committee. Ye Jianying and Li Kenong, Minister of Military Intelligence, the Jireliao Branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Northeast Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China directly led this work. In March 1947, the Northeast Bureau decided to establish a working organization for the Yunnan Army. Li Lisan, Liaison Minister of the Northeast Bureau, and Zhou Baozhong, the commander of the Jilin Provincial Military Region, directly led the fight against the Yunnan Army.Chen Lu and Bai Hua, who had been influenced by the education of the CCP’s underground party, first led a reinforced company to defect to the liberated areas in the northeast; Ministry of the uprising in Haicheng.Pan wrote letters to Zeng Zesheng and others many times.Point out the dangerous situation they face, and make prompt decisions to strive for a bright future.
In October 1948, Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, led an uprising in Changchun during the Battle of Liaoshen, and was organized into the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army, while the 93rd Army of the Yunnan Army was wiped out in Jinzhou. Lu Han's uncle) was captured, which shocked Lu Han a lot.Lu Han's troops had risen or been wiped out in the Northeast, and he only had five or six local security regiments in his hands. Lu Han knew in his heart that the collapse of the Kuomintang was inevitable, and he had to think about his future and walk towards a bright future the way.
Yunnan is a multi-ethnic area on the frontier of the motherland. The Kunming Municipal Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee of the Communist Party of China paid attention to leadership and united all ethnic groups to establish a broad anti-Chiang united front.During the armed struggle in rural areas, a large number of educated youths took off their school uniforms and put on ethnic clothes to become one with ethnic minorities. They wholeheartedly did good and practical things for ethnic minorities in production and life.On the basis of mutual understanding and trust, help ethnic minority compatriots organize "fraternal associations" and "sister associations", carry out various activities that are popular with local ethnic minorities, and gradually organize "turning-off meetings" to lead from economic struggle to ethnic unity, Equality, struggle for the liberation of the whole nation.In ethnic work, we attach great importance to the training of ethnic minority cadres, through whom the party's principles and policies can be transformed into the conscious demands of the masses.
In 1942, Hou Cheng, a teacher of Yunnan University, was teaching at Lunan Middle School. He noticed that Bi Hengguang, a Sani youth, was being trained. He took him to Kunming, entered Zhongshan Middle School, joined the "Minqing" and joined the Communist Party. In 1946, the provincial labor committee sent Bi Hengguang back to the south to work among the masses under the cover of teaching in Weize Middle School. In less than a year, the work base and contact network of underground party leaders were established in the rural areas of Lunan. In 1945, Yang Zhiting, a young Axi ethnicity who served as a company commander in the security camp of the Yunnan provincial government, returned to his hometown of Maitreya, worked as a military instructor in a middle school, and later joined the Communist Party.Due to the extremely uneven development of political, economic, cultural, and social systems in ethnic minority areas, the party organization proceeds from reality, respects the customs and habits of ethnic minorities, pays attention to the work of the upper echelons of the ethnic groups, and publicizes the party's policies and propositions to them. In the struggle of the reactionaries, pay attention to respecting their interests, use the contradiction between the minority nationalities and the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, and strive for their neutrality or support for the revolutionary activities of the masses.After long-term and arduous work of the party, it has contacted and united the upper class figures of the nation and opposed Chiang Kai-shek's democrats, and made important contributions to the armed struggle in Yunnan during the liberation war.
In 1949, Jin Hongzhao, a descendant of Luquan chieftain, voluntarily led his family to protect his family with more than 50 people and guns, and joined the guerrilla brigade of the "Bianzong" three detachments as the captain. Live and fight until the liberation of Kunming and become an outstanding military cadre of the party.During the war of liberation, the smooth development of the armed struggle led by the party was inseparable from the party's national work and the united front.
Since 1946, the party organization has been working in the provincial guard camp through different channels to establish a secret organization.After long-term and arduous work, a party branch was established in the battalion in 1949, and the battalion commander Li Huanwen was absorbed to join the Communist Party of China. More than one-third of the officers and soldiers of the battalion joined the secret peripheral organization of the party.Lu Han never dreamed that his personal security force would be directly or indirectly controlled by the party, and would be ready to act according to the party's orders at any time. After the "September Nine Purges" in 1949, the party organization analyzed the situation and believed that Lu Han had three possibilities in the future: one is to completely fall to Chiang Kai-shek; the other is to get closer to the people; Bargain with me.We must avoid the first possibility, strive for the second possibility, and prepare to use the strength of the guard battalion to stage a coup if necessary, forcing Lu Han to revolt.
The enemy worker organizations also took advantage of the special functions of the enemy police agencies to carry out revolutionary work under cover.Members of the secret peripheral organization in the police station took advantage of their work to skillfully take out blank entry-exit passes that had been stamped with official seals, and used them for comrades transferred to the countryside by the party organization, so that they could pass through the enemy's checkpoints safely and smoothly.
The "Bian Zong" guerrillas were ambushed by Diba armed forces during the march in Luquan County, and more than ten people were captured and detained in the prisons of Luquan and Wuding county governments. Communist Party member Li Huanwen used the 12th Security Regiment to station there Taking this opportunity, he came forward in the name of the head of the group.Claiming that the security regiment was going to expand its troops, they took more than a dozen captured people out and sent them back to the guerrillas.
During the "September 9 Purge", the reactionaries arrested more than 480 Communist Party members and progressives. Mao Renfeng, the head of the military special agent, put forward a list and insisted on killing 200 people. Go into the water and force him to fight against the Communist Party to the end.In a very critical situation, on the one hand, the party organization warned Lu Han to absolutely guarantee the safety of the arrested people through the united front relationship; on the other hand, it mobilized all aspects of society to actively carry out rescue work. Liu Hanzhang, a member of the "Army League", has worked beside Lu Han for a long time and has a relationship with Lu Han, so he has won Lu Han's trust.
The leading group for the work against the enemy arranged for Liu Hanzhang to use his special status as the military judge in charge of the case to do Lu Han's work and rescue the arrested persons.Liu took the opportunity to explain to Lu Han Mao Renfeng's conspiracy to kill people with a knife, and asked Lu Han to proceed with caution.At that time, all the arrested persons were under the supervision of the special agents of the military command, and the power of life and death was in the hands of the military command. Although Lu Han did not plan to kill these people, he was very embarrassed.Liu Hanzhang immediately suggested that Lu Han should first win the initiative of guarding and interrogating, so as to prevent Mao Renfeng from jumping over the wall in a hurry.Lu Han adopted Liu Hanzhang's suggestion, reported to Chiang Kai-shek for approval, and skillfully transferred the power of custody and trial from the secret agents of the Dian Station of the Bureau of Secrecy to the Military Law Division of the Yunnan Appeasement Administration.Lu Han also used the seriousness of the case as an excuse to deliberately delay the trial process, resisting Mao Renfeng and Shen Ci's plot to kill these people several times.Finally, under the pressure of public opinion, Lu Han took advantage of the conflict between Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren, and the acting president Li Zongren ordered Lu Han to "handle with leniency as appropriate" and released all the arrested persons.
After a long period of work, the enemy worker organization has collected the public and secret agencies set up by the military command in Kunming in a relatively comprehensive manner, the distribution of personnel, and the names, addresses, facial features, and photos of most of the military command personnel. At the same time, it also obtained The latent contingency plan and activities of the Security Bureau in Kunming.For example, the spies who are going to be publicly exposed on the day of retreat and the armed forces controlled by the military command go to western Yunnan or the border areas, instigate chieftains and counter-revolutionary guerrilla forces in collusion with local bully armed organizations, establish bases and channels for counterattacking the mainland, and develop new spies to hide Standby; when the Kuomintang withdrew from Kunming, it set fire to Kunming, blew up important factories and facilities, and so on.The acquisition of this information enabled the party organization and the revolutionary people to be mentally prepared, thus mobilizing the masses to organize to protect the factory and prevent counter-revolutionary damage.
Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Yunnan Provincial Working Committee and the Kunming Municipal Committee, after long and arduous struggles on all fronts, the people of Kunming ushered in liberation.The Chinese People's Liberation Army liberated Guiyang on November 15, 1949, and divided the Hu and Bai groups of the Kuomintang army.The gates to Kunming were opened, and Chongqing, the largest city in the southwest, was liberated on November 30.General Lu Han announced the uprising in Kunming on February 9, 1949.
On December 9, Zhang Qun, the southwestern military and political chief of the Kuomintang, came to Kunming at the order of Chiang Kai-shek, planning to arrange a plan for the central government of the Kuomintang to flee to Kunming and resist. Yu Chengwan, Commander of the Sixteenth Army, Li Mi, Commander of the Eighth Army, Shen Zui, Director of the Dian Station of the Security Bureau, and other leaders of the Kuomintang Central Committee in Kunming participated in an emergency meeting, and these leaders were detained in one fell swoop.At 5 p.m. that day, Lu Han assigned this task to his confidantes Long Yunqing, captain of the special task force of the Appeasement Office, and Xu Zhenfang, commander of the Provincial Guard Battalion, asking them to select reliable personnel to carry out the task and strictly keep secrets.Long and Xu selected a total of 21 officers and soldiers, including 19 members of the secret organization of the Communist Party (1 member of the party member, 16 members of the "Minqing" and "Military League", and 2 members of the military workers).After being educated by the Communist Party and accepting the task, these comrades strictly guarded this important secret.After the Kuomintang military and political leaders who attended the meeting arrived that night, they completed this historic task with resolute and accurate actions.
After the Kunming Uprising, according to the critical situation at that time and the serious enemy situation in Kunming, the Kunming Municipal Party Committee put forward the central task of suppressing anti-counterfeiting, ensuring social stability in Kunming, and safeguarding the achievements of the uprising.The uprising authorities set up a temporary military and political committee, and the Kunming Municipal Party Committee sent three cadres from the Security Department to enter the Public Security Department of the committee to directly take charge of the work of the Public Security Department. Relying on the materials and work foundation accumulated in the past, the uprising began in Kunming on December 13. A comprehensive hunt for enemy agents and counter-revolutionaries.During the nearly three months from the Kunming Uprising to the military takeover of Kunming, a total of 1,290 enemy agents and counter-revolutionaries were arrested.This played a vital role in maintaining the social stability of Kunming and smashing the conspiracy of the enemy's 26th Army and Eighth Army to attack Kunming.
After the Kunming Uprising, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the 26th Army and the Eighth Army to form the Eighth Corps to counterattack Kunming in an attempt to stifle the uprising.In order to improve the rustic atmosphere, he promised "three days of free movement" after the invasion of Kunming.At that time, the People's Liberation Army was still far away in Guizhou and Guangxi, and the "frontier vertical" troops were also scattered in western and southern Yunnan, and the 13th Army, which was temporarily formed by the uprising troops, was far inferior in terms of strength and equipment to the KMT Central Committee's troops who counterattacked Kunming. Two armies.The situation in Kunming is extremely critical.In order to cooperate with General Lu Han's uprising, the underground party in Yunnan not only requested the central government to order the People's Liberation Army to rush to help Kunming, but also ordered "Bian Zong" to support Kunming.The Kunming Municipal Party Committee called on party organizations at all levels and the people of the city to mobilize urgently, organize the Kunming Volunteer Self-Defense Force, support the uprising troops to defend Kunming with arms, and carried out a heroic and tenacious defense battle.During the battle, the officers and soldiers of the uprising troops fought to defend the achievements of the uprising and the lives and property of the people, and were loved and supported enthusiastically by the people of Kunming.Li Huanwen (a member of the Communist Party), head of the 38th Regiment of the 13th Army, accepted the order of the Provisional Military Industry Committee of the Kunming Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China to "kill the enemy bravely, defend Kunming, and defend the party organization". The officers and soldiers of the whole regiment were brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice. In the crucial bloody battle of Luosiwan on the southern front, they resolutely held their positions and severely injured the invading enemy, which was commended by Lu Han.The 33rd, 31st, and 37th regiments headed by Xia Jichang, Wang Shaoyao, and Zhu Deyu, members of the "Army League", also fought bloody battles under the leadership of the regiment leaders, winning time for "holding firm and waiting for help".The enemy army has been attacking Kunming for a long time, and the People's Liberation Army has been advancing day and night, forming a roundabout and encircling situation around Kunming. The 26th Army and the 8th Army had to flee in panic.
The uprising officers and police officers of the Kunming police system are known as the "Junmeng".The members are the backbone, and under the leadership of the party, they actively participated in the Kunming Defense War. Later, the Police Federation was established to maintain social order, assist in the search for enemy agents, and assist in the detection of three murder and robbery cases. They all made contributions.
The nearly three-month period from the Kunming uprising to the military takeover was a special period when Kunming society underwent drastic turbulent changes.The Kunming Municipal Party Committee led the people of all walks of life in the city, and through all aspects of work, finally returned Kunming to the hands of the people safely and completely.
Under the leadership of the Communist Party, comrades who participated in the work of the enemy's situation worked in the heart of the enemy with fearless courage for the needs of the revolution.Under the white terror, they conscientiously implemented the party's policy and strategy against the enemy, proceeded from the actual situation of the enemy camp in their actual work, and gradually explored a way to carry out enemy work, opening up a second path for the Kuomintang ruled areas. All fronts, in line with the victorious development of the Liberation War, contributed to the liberation of Kunming.Comrades engaged in the work of the enemy's situation are infinitely loyal to the party's cause, put their personal safety aside, go deep into the enemy's camp, are resourceful, brave, unknown, and work for the revolution wholeheartedly.A large number of historical facts show that Kunming's work on the enemy's situation has made undeniable and outstanding contributions to the revolution in history.Comrades engaged in work on the enemy's situation, including comrades who originally joined the Kuomintang camp and turned to the revolution, as well as non-Party friends who supported the work on the enemy's situation, have all made contributions to the revolution and the people.It should be pointed out that under the influence of "Left" erroneous thinking, they were once treated unfairly. The Third Plenary Session of the Party's Eleventh Central Committee restored the Party's ideological line of seeking truth from facts. The comrades who were wronged and sacrificed should be rehabilitated, and history will draw the most just conclusion for them.
During the War of Liberation, the police system of the Kuomintang in Kunming included the General Bureau, 8 sub-bureaus, 4 brigades (security police, firefighting, traffic, and criminal police), as well as the provincial police office and police school. There were more than 400 police officers in total. There are more than 2400 people in the soil.This is an important armed force to suppress the revolution and oppress the people.The leadership of the entire police force is actually in the hands of the Dian Station of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense Secrecy Bureau (Military Command). There are also hidden in the palace - some special agents who have been specially trained by the special police class.Among them, the criminal police brigade, named criminal police, is actually the fourth open group of the Dian Station of the Secrecy Bureau headed by the captain Zhou Boxian. It has more than 70 members, and there are also about 100 probationary and trainee members. They are dedicated to destroying the Communist Party. Counter-revolutionary activities of underground organizations, suppression of democrats and revolutionary masses.
Most of the upper-middle-level police officers in Kunming's police circle were deeply influenced by reactionary rule and stubbornly insisted on their reactionary stance. In 1948, under the situation of the victorious development of the People's Liberation War, some expressed hesitation and wavering, while a few gradually awakened.Most of the grassroots police chiefs and police officers were recruited from the rural areas of the province. They came from poor backgrounds and had a strong sense of the countryside. They forced Chiang Kai-shek to reorganize the Yunnan provincial government and drove tens of thousands of Yunnan army’s children to the Northeast to fight civil war. Those who are dissatisfied, they are often beaten, scolded and bullied by police officers, witnessing the phenomenon of "cannibalism" in the old society, soaring prices, and people's livelihood, their dissatisfaction with the Kuomintang is growing day by day.Although they were forced to take part in the suppression of the student movement under the instigation of their superiors, most of them sympathized with the student movement after the students' propaganda and education.There was a policeman who, while escorting an arrested student, let the student go privately and ran away himself; some took the initiative to contact progressive students and asked to participate in the revolution.Therefore, the party organization believes that there is still a basis for carrying out revolutionary work in the reactionary police circle; at the critical moment of liberating Kunming, it is entirely possible and necessary to use this police force.
At the beginning of March 1948, the provincial working committee appointed Gao Zhiyuan, the municipal working committee, to lead the work on the enemy's situation in Kunming.The policy put forward at that time was: "Pull it out, beat it in, drill into the enemy's heart and cook it." According to the policy of our party working in the White Area: "Develop progressive forces, win over intermediate forces, and isolate stubborn forces." Strive to disintegrate the lower strata, win over the middle class, isolate the upper class, lie in wait for the opportunity, strictly observe the organizational discipline of underground work, strictly control the gates, recruit individually, make single-line contacts, and do not engage in public or semi-public activities .Therefore, among the policemen below the sheriff, only the peripheral organizations are vigorously developed, but the party members are not developed.
Later, according to the development of the situation, the police adopted the work policy of "establishing relationships, educating and dividing, developing the lower levels, winning over the middle levels, using the upper levels, waiting for opportunities, and using them for my own use."Its specific work is:
1 Strengthen situational education, raise awareness, and absorb progressive and reliable lower-level elements to join peripheral organizations.
2 Understand the internal situation of the police system and find out the personnel of the special organization.
3 Obtain stamped blank exit passes for organizational use as appropriate.
4 Understand the intelligence of enemy agents arresting and tracking our underground work and progressives, suppressing student movements, and report to the organization in time.
5 Understand the situation of my arrest and detainees, pass on information, and provide covert protection as much as possible.
Before June 1949, the party's peripheral organizations in the police circle were led by a single line, parallel, and multi-headed.Whatever organization the introducer is, use the name of the organization.For example, some use "Xinlian" and some use "Minqing".Before September 1949, there were more than 70 members in the police circle, including about 26 from the "Xinlian", 15 from the "Minqing", 1 from the "Tongmeng", and the rest from the "Police League".
The police system is a unit strictly controlled by the enemy. Some police officers would take great risks to join the secret peripheral organizations led by the party. Most of them can do their best to complete the tasks assigned by the organization.For example, Zhou Yingbang, a member of the "Minqing Youth", in order to find out the situation of the spies in the police department, cleverly copied the list of spies from the payroll of the Accounting Office of the General Administration, including names, positions, etc. Xiong Shaogao, a member of the "Xinlian", provided Zhou Yingbang with a list of part of the spies for the convenience of the former internal service inspector to grasp the attendance book.Li Deqin, a member of the "Minqing" of the Provincial Police Department, through Li Zuochen, a member of the "Xinlian" who manages the archives, copied out the roster of graduates from the "Special Police Class" in the police palace (because those who were trained in the "Special Police Class" are all military special agents).The members of each unit basically reported the situation of the leaders and secret agents of the unit to the organization, providing reliable materials for grasping the enemy's situation and developing the organization.
Before liberation, the enemy set up checkpoints at the East Bus Station, North Railway Station, South Railway Station, and Biji Pass, which posed a great threat to the safety of our underground staff.Members of the No. 1, No. 5, and No. 6 police bureaus tried to obtain some stamped blank passes for use by the organization.For example, at the beginning of 1948, before and after the "July 15th" incident and the "September 9th purge", these passes played a certain role in the several times of transporting cadres from Kunming to the "Bianzong"; Cover my staff to go out.
In terms of intelligence, for example, Li Mingchang, a member of the "Minqing", got the list of Fu Yisheng who was to be arrested by the criminal police team, and promptly passed it on to the organization so that he could be transferred safely.Before the "July 15th" incident, the sub-bureaus had been ordered to prepare sticks, lime bags, ropes, faucets and other tools to prepare for an armed attack on Yunda and Nanjing. Members of the "Police League" reported to the organization in time.
In June 1949, Lai Weimin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, succeeded Gao Zhiyuan and led the work of enemy workers in Kunming.In order to adapt to the new situation in which the country is about to be liberated, it is also proposed that on the basis of the original basis, in the police circle, we must vigorously develop the grassroots and strive to develop the policy of the upper and middle levels, and gradually transform the urban armed forces controlled by the enemy into the forces actually controlled by our party. , Can follow our party's orders to act.The specific deployment is:
1 The Charter of the Police League was issued to promote development. The purpose of the charter states: "Support the leadership of the Communist Party of China, strive for the early liberation of the whole country, and build a new democratic China."
2 Adjust the organization, unite the members of the peripheral organizations of the police circle with different organizational names developed on various fronts, under the leadership of the "leading group for the work against the enemy", incorporate them into the "police alliance" organization, and participate in the life of the "police alliance" organization .Peripheral members of the police circle all use the organization name of "Junmeng".
3 To strengthen the leadership of the "Police League", in addition to Tian Bingxi, Zhu Renjie was transferred to take charge of the work of the "Police League".Later, "Minqing" members Li Shiqiong, Li Peiyuan, Li Zemin and other cadres were transferred to participate in the leadership work of the "Police League".
4 Change the past regulations that only recruit members below the sheriff, and develop organizations among the middle-level personnel in the police circle.
According to the spirit mentioned above, among the section members and inspectors of the Police Headquarters, and the inspectors and bureau members of each sub-bureau, as long as it is clear that they are not secret agents, have a clear political history, and are actively close to our party, they can all develop.Most of the middle-level personnel were developed during the period from June to September 1949.At that time, there was only Duan Wenbi at the first level of bureau chief.
There were 4 party members in the police system at the time of the uprising.Yu Duankai was transferred from his superiors. In November, introduced by Tian Bingxi and approved by Lai Weimin, Zhou Yingbang, Li Deqin, and Bi Wang were developed to join the party.
In October 1949, Meng Duankai raised the question of whether Li Zhizheng, chief of the police, could be promoted to join the "Police League". After discussion by the "Leading Group for Work Against the Enemy", he believed that Li Zhizheng belonged to local forces politically, and the police station was an important urban armed force. When Kunming was liberated, it was easy to control and control the police force, and it was possible to absorb and join the "Police League".After discussion, it was decided that Meng Duankai would introduce Li to join the "Police League" at the end of October.Several sub-bureau chiefs also joined the "Police League" after the uprising
On September 6, after learning the news of Lu Han's departure to Chongqing, Kong Jie ("Xinlian"), who was working at the air inspection station of the police station, promptly informed Zhou Yingbang to report to Tian Bingxi.The party organization estimated that the situation might be reversed, and took corresponding measures such as transferring personnel in a timely manner. Members of the "Pilgrim Alliance" also provided some passes for the transfer of personnel.
During the "September 9th Purge" incident, members of the traffic team provided the organization with nightly patrol passwords. During the "purge" period, the leading group for the work against the enemy, except for the transfer of Ji Xingxing and Duan Tiejun, the rest of the staff worked as usual. No issues occurred.根据情况变化，为了巩固组织，曾暂时停顿了一段时间的发展工作。
10月份，解放军已向西南挺进，为了做好解放昆明的准备工作，组织上布置一些“警盟”成员向上层人士散发了“中国人民解放军布告”(即“约法八章”)。七分局等单位的“警盟”成员，绘制了昆明市警岗分布图，各单位“警盟”成员设法将管区内的社会档案取出交组织上抄录保存备用(包括上层社会如国民党军政要员、资本家、社会名流的住址、财产等情况，也包括黑社会如小偷、流氓、帮会、姻馆、娼妓等情况)，为接管和改造旧城做好准备，还摸清各单位的特务及反动分子名单，布置专人监视其活劫；对重要文书档集、枪械、物资、器材等布置专人负责保管。为了防止昆明解放时遭受敌特破坏，还列出各管区内的重点保护对象，如电厂、自来水厂、银行、仓库、粮站、工厂、机关、学校等，采取相应措施。到起义前夕，警察系统所有单位都有了“警盟”组织，人员总数约120余人。起义后，为了加强对起义官警的工作，更好发挥警察这支城市武装的作用，“警盟”组织又继续进行发展工作，曾经发展了部分分局长及警察人员参加了“警盟”组织，总人数达170余人。
1949年12月9日，昆明起义。11日，赖卫民传达省市委决定：对敌工作领导小组分为市委保卫部及临时军队工作委员会两部分。保卫部掌管镇反肃特及维护昆明社会治安工作。指派朱人杰、团培宽进入云南省临时军政委员会公安处(后增加吉星明)，掌管肃特工作；田秉熙掌管昆明警察系统的“警盟”组织并参与市人联警察联合会的领导工作，以及社会治安工作。公安处及警察局实际成为我保卫部掌握的两个公开机构。当天，赖卫民还指派朱人杰接上李志正的“警盟”关系，并交待三项任务：
1 将已汇编成册的特务名单交李志正，要他“照单请客”，大力搜捕敌特。
2 维护好昆明社会治安，保证不出大问题。
3 调整各分局领导班子，尽可能安排“警盟”成员担任领导。公安处成立后，将李志正交田秉熙领导。
党组织及时向各单位“警盟”成员传达了镇反肃特及维护治安两大任务。全市警察在党组织的号召下，积极行动起来。周映邦等党、盟员，调任分局领导职务；各单位“警盟”成员，直接接受我保卫部交给的任务，尽职尽责协助逮捕管区内潜藏的特务分子，加强日夜巡逻及岗哨执勤，维护好社会铁序。
为了更有效地掌握警察武装，党组织指示由田秉熙领导组成以党员周映邦、李德钦为正副主任的“昆明市警察联合会”(简称“警联”)和以“警盟”骨干为领导的各分会，作为我党领导的“昆明市人民团体联合会”的一个组成部分。“警联”成为卢汉起义到接管这段过渡时期实现我党领导的维护社会治安的组织形式之一。其任务有：教育全体官警加强学习，拥护中国共产党的领导，继续揭发捡举潜藏特务，确保昆明市的社会治安秩序，并积极做好迎军工作。
为了加强党对警察系统的具体领导，党组织专门从大中学校、义勇自卫队及服务行业的反特小组中，抽调20余名党盟成员(如马运春、冯育章、郑培禄等)，派入总局及下属各单位，担任政治指导员，开展时事政策学习，做好接管准备工作。
从起义至接管的3个月中，“警联”由于得到全市人民支持，也得到起义当局警备部队及全体官警的极积配合，严厉镇压反革命和敌特分子的破坏活动。云南起义顺乎潮流，深得民心，全市人民渴求解放，鼓舞了广大军警人员，积极行动起来投入保卫昆明的斗争，使昆明的社会治安秩序空前良好。
在昆明保卫战中，地处前沿阵地的警察局六、七、八分局，停止休假，严守岗位，加强站岗巡逻，并抽出部分警察武装，配合起义部队阻击进犯敌人，如总局“新联”成员李明昌，被派赴七分局组织了一批警察，在阵地上坚持了五天五夜，没有一人动摇；“警盟”成员王佐权等扼守玉皇阁电厂；市警局感化院，星夜赶制了大批石料，运送昆明修筑城防工事；市警局卫生科，组织救护队、担架队，救护伤员等，都为保卫战胜利作出了一定的贡献。
在此期间，也发生过几次重大案件，市委保卫部决定由田秉熙领导成立侦破指挥小组，由黄秉新(“警盟”)负专责，限期全部破案。如四川逃昆特务唐去非，勾结昆明流氓分子吴耀辉等人组成团伙，抢劫瓦仓庄8号王宅，将抢得的财物装上王家吉普车拉走，并打死王家一人。侦破指挥小组立即在两三天内抓紧侦破该案，报请临时军政委员会批准，将主犯唐去非、吴耀浑、张良相等三人枪决。另有一伙匪徒到云津市场后街，抢劫一姓李的洋纱老板，五分局接到报案后立即出动武装围捕，匪徒开枪拒捕，当场被击毙，并将其同伙多人分别缉捕归案。这几起案件的及时侦破，镇慑了敌人，维护了社会治安。
在迎军工作中，“警联”还担任了迎军筹备会副指挥，负责维护治安。公安处及警察局干警配合义勇自卫队，分段包干，严密防范，在万人空巷，盛况空前的迎军行列中，未发生任何问题。
回忆这一阶段的斗争，在全国胜利形势发展的鼓舞下，由于地下党组织的正确领导，“警盟”组织有了大的发展。到昆明起义时，地下党昆明市委保卫部巳基本上掌握了这支警察武装，在肃反及维护社会治安中，做出了一定的成绩。昆明社会治安空前良好，人民生活安定，从而保障了昆明市完整地回到人民手中，顺利地实现了军事接管。
解放战争时期，云南地下党组织根据形势的发展和对敌斗争的需要，在云南省政府警卫营这支有900余名官兵的部队里，逐步从无到有、从小到大地开展了卓有成效的工作，使敌人的武装最终为我党所控制，为促进卢汉起义，迎接昆明解放，发挥了积极的作用。
抗日战争胜利后，蒋介石集团不顾全国各阶层人民要求和平和休养生息的愿望，蓄意发动反人民的内战，妄图一举消灭我党领导的人民革命力量，并排除异己，以实现其反动的独裁统治。1945年冬，蒋介石乘全部滇军入越受降之机，以武力“改组”云南省政府，逼龙云下台，并强令全部滇军开赴东北充当内战炮灰，削去卢汉第一方面军总司令的兵权，另委以云南省政府主席的职务。
1946年2月，当年指挥千军万马显赫一时的卢汉，出于“保己、拥蒋、反共”的打算，坐视滇军数万官兵远离桑梓，随身带领该方面军的特务团回到昆明，出任省政府主席。卢汉正是以这个团为基础，建立了云南省政府警卫营，作为他的贴身卫队，担负云南省军政首脑机关省政府、云南绥靖公署、云南省保安司令部及其看守所、武器弹药库、富滇银行金库，以及卢汉西山、翠湖私宅的警卫任务。
也正是在这个警卫营里，在其甫建之初，云南地下党便开始了秘密工作。之前，中共地下秘密党员朱家壁曾担任过特务团团长，在这支部队中有较大的进步影响，火种早已播下。
1946年3月，警卫营班长刘运宗(刘涛)，自越南回昆明后与其过去的同窗好友昆华工校学生李云(中共地下党员)相遇。刘运宗过去在特务团朱家璧亲自主办的军士补习班里曾受过进步影响，怀有爱国进步思想，在与李云的接触中，通过阅读进步书刊，逐步接受了党的民主革命主张，并接受了工作任务。经过严格考察，于1947年8月由李云介绍刘运宗参加了中国共产党。9月，刘运宗介绍营里另一班长李富参加党的秘密外围组织“云南民主青年同盟”(“民青”)。10月，李剑秋联系刘的组织关系并领导开展党在警卫营里的兵运工作。
当时，党组织依然遵循党在白区工作的方针，即“长期埋伏，隐蔽精干，积蓄力量，以待时机”，要求刘运宗在不损害革命利益的前提下，取得其上级的信任，站稳脚跟，学会在敌人军纪控制森严、严禁秘密结社的军队里传播革命道理，发展建立革命组织的本领。
当时，警卫营第一任营长穆锦春与副营长龙云沛之间素有矛盾，穆以营长职位独揽人事、财务大权，不把龙云沛放在眼里。龙云沛因不能插手营里的事务而对穆不满，并仗着他与卢汉的姻亲关系而不卖穆的账。穆、龙互相倾轧。穆思想反动，布置亲信监视进步分子的活动，刘运宗在营内的活动一度曾引起穆的怀疑，这对党的秘密工作威胁很大。
依据党的对敌斗争策略“发展进步势力，团结争取中间势力，孤立打击顽固势力”，刘运宗决定充分利用龙、穆之间的矛盾，争取龙云沛，打击穆锦春，只有这样才能在警卫营中站稳脚跟。
1947年10月，龙云沛举办婚事，四连部分官兵前去帮忙，留下事务长刘运宗在连里执勤。刘运宗集合星期天值班士兵安排补假，被穆锦春发现。穆借口追究刘未请示报告，将刘禁闭起来，并亲自搜查刘的书籍，企图加害于刘，进而追究龙云沛包庇重用刘运宗而达到将龙云沛挤走的目的。幸得刘运宗同室的排长郑运询的掩护，穆锦春搜查一无所获。龙云沛回营得知就事后，对穆大为不满，与穆大吵了一场，并迫穆释放了刘运宗，事后，刘运宗便向龙云沛检举揭发穆锦春私自动用原特务团的生产资金做棉纱股票生意中饱私囊，冒领，贪污粮饷，排斥打击昭通(龙系昭通人)势力等情况，加深了龙对穆的不满。龙云沛乘穆锦春贩运枪弹案发之机，向卢汉告发了穆的罪行，结果穆锦春被撤职查办，由龙取代穆当上了警卫营营长，并随后调走了穆的亲信。
在党的正确方针指引下，刘运宗通过这场斗争不仅保护了自己，站稳了脚跟，还进一步取得了龙云沛的信任，于1948年4月被提升为三连排长，在同年8月成立营直属特务排时又调为特务排排长，担任卢汉办公厅及翠湖住宅的警卫任务，成了名副其实的卢汉贴身卫队长。党在警卫营的斗争，首战告捷。
1948年4月，刘运宗介绍二连事务长张义、三连班长杨汉清参加“民青”。7月，刘运宗的组织关系转归中共昆明市工委负责人高志远领导的敌情工作组，由吉星明负责联系。市工委敌情工作组专门领导在“敌人心脏里烧锅煮饭”的工作。对警卫营的工作，高志远专门指示：“不要再等，要争取教育，发展组织，巩固地盘，伺机进攻，搜集情报，为我所用”。发展组织时，按照“发展下层，团结中层，争取上层”的原则进行。紧接着，在长期扎根串连的基础上，刘运宗便又介绍了下层士兵朱继洲、张忠贵、鲁以华、高家秀、李玉祥、侬玉柱，排长郑运询，军医殷俊才等参加了“民青”。
1948年9月，昆明市工委正式成立以高志远为领导的敌情工作小组(简称敌工小组)，成员有吉星明，田培宽。敌工小组认真分析总结了此前在警卫营的工作，认为，过去一段时间的工作经验证明：在敌人控制森严的部队里开展兵运工作，应当绝对审慎秘密，方式方法不同于学运工作。根据党的“团结进步力量，争取中间力量，孤立打击顽图势力”的方针，党在警卫营的工作重点和基础是团结广大下层士兵。刘运宗根据组织要求，继续采取过去行之有效的工作方法，与士兵打成一片，关心他们的疾苦，为他们排忧解难，仗义执言，向长官争职合法权益，与他们交知心朋友，谈心诉苦，并因势利导，启发其阶级觉悟，引导他们认识解放哉争胜利形势和日益高涨的昆明学生爱国民主运动，并在此基础上组织秘密读书会，传阅进步书刊，待时机成熟时即吸收积极分子参加党的秘密外围组织“民青”；还领导“民青”组织成员学习《目前形势和我们的任务》、《在晋绥干部会议上的讲话》、《古田会议决议》等党的文件，并定期传阅秘密刊物《新华电讯》。
组织同乡会，联络感情。这种形式易为一般在外吃粮当兵的士兵及下层官所接受。在同乡会中，广泛地把士兵团结在我们周围，从中发现并掊养积极分子参加党的外围组织。刘运宗利用招募新兵的机会，在新兵中组织了宜良、嵩明、晋宁、江川、华宁昭通等六个同乡会。
为了把士兵团结在我们周围，刘运宗还利且一切可以利用的机会以及自己身为事务长的合法身份，以稳定部队为由，说服龙云沛改善士兵生活，活跃士兵文化生活，成立伙食委员会，由士兵轮流担任采购，民主管理士兵伙食，用节余粮款及空缺粮饷购买肥皂发给士兵。同时利用伙食委员会这一公开合法组织秘密进行革命活动。1948年刘任排长后，带领全排士兵到西山卢汉住宅值勤时，还请渔民到警戒区内捕鱼分成，改善士兵生活，购买文具用品发给士兵学习文化。还组织“小先生”互教互，每周开一次学习评论会，启发士兵的民主意识。
1949年11月，敌工小组决定接收李富入党，介绍人为刘运宗，由田培宽负责为其办理入党手续，其组织关系由田培宽单线联系。
1949年3月，党的七届二中全会为云南的革命斗争指明了方向，力争按绥远方式实现云南局部和平解放。
4月，敌工小组增加成员，调整分工。4月初警卫营的工作转由田培宽负责。自此，敌工小组又称敌工支部。
为贯彻党中央指示精神，敌工小组研究了新形势下警卫首要的工作。认为：党在白区城市工作的主要特点是：党没有武装而敌人却掌握强大的武装。为适应形势发展的需要，争取云南的和平解放，敌情工作的首要任务应当是争取变敌人的武装为党所控制，在时机成熟时，按照党的号令行动。这应当成为我们在警卫营进行兵运工作的指导思想。
过去，我们认为哪怕是争取到一个班长，扛一挺机枪到游击队去也是好的，能扩大我们的政治影响。警卫营的秘密组织成员，一般都有这种思想，就连党员刘运宗，李富也都要求到游击队去“甩开膀子干一场”。党中央的指示，开阔了我们的视野，我们不应当只追求争取部分的携械起义，这样反而会过早地暴露我们的力量，导致失掉地盘。相反地，我们应当稳定卢汉这支部队，利用一切可以利用的机遇与条件，大力发展党的外围组织，巩固并扩大地盘，为达到变敌人的武装为党控制的武装而工作。
当时可以为我们所利用的机遇与条件，比比皆是，云南地方统治势力与蒋介石中央之间的矛盾，根深蒂固。蒋介石排斥异己，打击非嫡系力量的独裁措施，不仅引起地方势力的上层，而且也引起中下层的普遍不满。1946年滇军在海城的起义，以及其后滇军在东北的投诚，起义，还有云南游击战争的开展，无不对地方势力产生强烈的影响。云南卢汉的军事教导团就曾出现“此路不通，去找毛泽东”。的标语。在地方保安团队的官兵中间，客观上存在着一股日益高涨的反蒋潜流。只要我们的政策正确，方针得当，无疑可以把这股潜流汇集到人民革命的洪流中去。
东北我军在起义或被俘的滇军中下级军官中，施以反蒋爱国的教育之后，部分资遣回云南，利用其与卢汉的旧属关系，予卢汉以影响，争取卢汉走起义的道路。时值卢汉为求保住其生存地盘与蒋介石抗衡，竭力不断扩充地方保安团队的力量，大量起用回滇军官，如委任张秉昌为保安团团长，委任李焕文为警卫营营长等等。同时卢汉还采用东北回滇军官建议，仿照我军办法，在保安团队建立政工制度，以巩固保安团队。
除分析地方势力与蒋中央的矛盾之外，我们还分析了地方保安团队内部存在的矛盾。认为，不论在哪个层次的工作中，都
