On April 11, 1949, Lan Bingxiong and Fu Debiao led over 30 members of the Ancient County guerrilla unit to capture the Ancient County Township Office. Subsequently, Wu Guoqing led the second guerrilla squad to assist local residents in breaking into the granary. The prepared crowd, armed with sacks, baskets, and carrying poles, rushed into the granary and distributed 100,000 jin (approximately 50 metric tons) of grain. This action expanded the influence of the guerrilla unit and created favorable conditions for the establishment of the People's Government of Ancient County Township.
