After the establishment of the CPC Dongguan Committee, it initiated the organization of the Dongguan County People's Organizations Committee for Local Public Welfare. Through this body, it vigorously promoted the workers’ and peasants’ movements. At the same time, it actively mobilized the masses to support the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, further advancing the national revolution in Dongguan.

Upon receiving the news, the CPC Dongguan Committee quickly relocated. On April 24, the KMT authorities in Dongguan searched the offices of the CPC Dongguan Committee but found nothing.
