The Guangdong People’s Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force Dongjiang Column was established on December 2, 1943. It was a people's anti-Japanese armed force created by the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China under the directive of the Party Central Committee. The force fought across the Dong River region, advanced deep into the enemy-occupied areas of Hong Kong and Kowloon, operated actively in the outskirts of Guangzhou, and pushed into the Yonghe mountainous areas, becoming a renowned anti-Japanese fighting unit known both in China and abroad. In December 1944, the Fourth Detachment of the Dongjiang Column was formed in the Yonghe Anti-Japanese Base Area under the leadership of the Zengcheng County Special Branch Committee of the CPC. Huangpu District became one of the key regions where the Dongjiang Column actively resisted the Japanese. Guerrilla fighters battled bravely in areas such as Hefeng, Huangqi Mountain, Huafeng Mountain, Youma Mountain, Fozizhuang, Wangcun, and Yuanbei Village in Huangpu District, delivering powerful support to the anti-Japanese war efforts in South China.
