Gando National People's Association

On January 26, 1913, 25 founders, including Lee Dong-chun and Kim Lip, held a meeting to establish a community association with about 150 people in attendance.

[2] The Battle of Fengwudong took place from June 4 to 7, and at this time, Hong Beom-do and Choi Jin-dong were in conflict over the issue of retreat in response to the pursuing Japanese army.

At the joint meeting on August 10, Choi Jin-dong's Military Affairs Commander-in-Chief completely withdrew from the Korean Northern Army Command.

Hong Beom-do joined forces and led the Battle of Cheongsanri to victory with the Northern Military Administration and then returned to the Free City, Russian Maritime Province.

As the branches increased and the scope of influence grew, the headquarters was changed to the Central General Assembly and moved to Jiinhyang (志仁鄕).

Afterwards, 21,000 members of the Hunchun Korean National Association were recruited, and branches were expanded to 80 locations and the number of officers was increased.

The purpose was to develop an independence movement centered around Christians, communicating with the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai.

[3] The North Gando office, was located in Hamatang, Wangcheng County, Jilin Province, and under it, eight local councils and about 130 branches were established as civil administration agencies.

The headquarters was located at the home of Hon Chun-hyeon alumnus Park Bong-sik, and the executives consisted of Chairman Lee Myung-soon , Vice Chairman Park Gwan-il, Secretary Seo Yun-muk, Secretary Yeo Nam-seop, Oh Jong-beom, and Treasurer.

They were Oh Hyeon-gyeong (吳玄慶), communications team leader Na Jeong-hwa (羅正化), and social relations manager Hwang Byeong-gil (黃炳吉) .

The relationship between the two was also established by deciding that the National Association would 'assist' the Korean Northern Army Command and provide all military affairs.

[6] The National Association mainly raised military funds and organized about 300 independent armed forces trained under the guidance of Cho An-Mu and 600 people under Hong Beom-do into the Korean Independence Army under the direct control of the National Association and placed them under the leadership of Hong Beom-do.

In addition, armed groups throughout Gando were integrated and joint assistance was provided in purchasing weapons and training independent forces.

[6] According to Japanese police data, in mid-August 1920, the National Army had 600 rifles, 70,000 rounds of ammunition, 160 pistols, and 120 grenades.

The National Army survived the Free City Incident, and helped Koo Chun-seon and other executives established the National Association Military Department in Dunhua, and in December 1921, it was renamed the 'Central General Inspectorate of the Communist Party of Korea' to strengthen the Shanghai faction of the Korean Communist Party.
