The KMT did most of the heavy lifting because they governed almost the entire country while the CPC controlled a single, very poor province.
The CPC also had a lot of cells all over Manchuria that were just waiting for the perfect moment to strike, sometimes seizing military bases with weapons as simple as spears.
For sure, they were very active during the war, both covertly as you say, and more directly through the 8th Route Army.
