In September 1932 when the forces of Wang and Feng Zhanhai managed to briefly occupy the capital of Jilin province, Things began to go wrong when the NSA became embroiled in disputes with General Li Du's Jilin Self-Defence Army. One of Li Du's subordinates tried to persuade one of Wang Delin's commanders to transfer his force into the Li's Army. Also, NSA troops were killed by Li's Army for the confiscation of the weapons of a White Russian mine owner. Finally, Li's subordinate was put in a sack and thrown into a river, probably at the instigation Kong Xianrong, Wang Delin's deputy. This rift forced the abandonment of the city.
