Lu Zhengcao adapted Xiaoqiao, and the three cadres accompanied him
General Lu Zhengcao, although he served as a general in the Northeast Army, had already become a member of our party as early as May 1937. Although he worked in the Northeast Army, he was "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", so in October 1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he led his troops to join the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, which was a natural thing.
The landmark event of General Lu Zhengcao's return to the leadership of our party was the "Xiaoqiao reorganization." Xiaoqiao Village is located on the Hutuo River in Jinzhou, Hebei Province, due to flooding, the residents fled to live on two barren hills, the residents on the big hill are called "Dajiao Village", and the residents on the small hill are called "Xiaojiao Village".
Later, the word "reef" gradually evolved into the word "Qiao", hence the name Xiaoqiao Village.
In early October 1937, the 691st Regiment of the 53rd Army of the Northeast Army led by Lu Zhengcao fought fierce battles with the Japanese army in the central Hebei region. During the battle, they killed more than 800 Japanese soldiers in Meihua Town, Gaocheng County, and successfully broke through to Xiaoqiao Village, Jinzhou, Hebei Province.
In Xiaoqiao Village, Lu Zhengcao led more than 1,000 soldiers to reorganize and held an anti-Japanese oath meeting here. At this congress, they resolutely burned the radio codebook, cut off all contact with the 53rd Army at their higher level, and announced their separation from the Kuomintang army, established the "People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army" in Jizhong, and joined the combat sequence of our army.
Therefore, this event is also known as "Xiaoqiao Yizhi". After Lu Zhengcao's 691 Regiment was reorganized into the "People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army" in Jizhong, he had three cadres under him, namely Zhao Chengjin, the first captain, Yu Quankun, the second captain, and Sha Ke, the third captain.
Next, let's take a look at the situation of these three cadres.
Zhao Chengjin, a native of Haicheng, Liaoning, was born in 1901, graduated from the Northeast Army Lecture Hall, served in the Northeast Army, and served as battalion commander and deputy regiment commander.
