Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-29

In the long course of history, there was a speculator who once took refuge in the big traitor, and then was capricious, and finally led to a righteous trial.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China, the phenomenon of traitors was not uncommon, and there was an outlier named Hao Pengju. Born in the Northwest Army, he had a good family background, but after going through turmoil, he chose to surrender to the big traitor. This article will delve into the road of betrayal of Hao Pengju and restore the historical truth.

The rise of a fallen man.

Hao Pengju, born in 1903, is a native of Lingbao, Henan. After graduating from the Red Army Mixed Cadre School in Kiev, Soviet Union in 1927, he joined the National Army and became the commander of the artillery regiment and the chief of staff of the army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the deputy commander of the Provisional Fifth Army, and frequently caused friction.

In July 1941, Hao Pengju betrayed the country, surrendered to Japan, and was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander of the new Sixth Route Army, becoming the first vanguard. However, his surrender was not the end, but a more tortuous beginning.

Capricious betrayer.

Under strong political and military pressure, Hao Pengju led his troops to revolt on the front line of Taierzhuang and Zaozhuang in January 1946, and was reorganized into the China Democratic Alliance Army and became the commander. However, his ambition was not lost, and a year and 15 days later, Hao Pengju saw Chiang Kai-shek's dispatch of troops, misjudged the situation, and openly defected on January 16, 1947, and once again defected to Chiang Kai-shek, becoming the commander of the Lunan Appeasement Zone and the commander-in-chief of the 42nd Group Army. This time, however, his fate came to an end.

Surrender, mutiny, and political calculations.

Hao Peng's family is well-off and has received a good education since he was a child. In 1920, he chose to join Feng Yuxiang's army and became a member of the Northwest Army. However, in 1925, Feng Yuxiang sent a group of officers to the Soviet Union and Japan in order to transform the Northwest Army, and Hao Pengju was sent to the Soviet Union. Without approval, he returned home from the Soviet Union privately.

After learning the news, Feng Yuxiang was dissatisfied and did not grant Hao Peng a military position. It was not until 1929 that Hao Pengju obtained the position of artillery commander. However, Feng Yuxiang was betrayed, Hao Pengju's army was reorganized, and he began a wandering military career.

The love entanglement of speculators and the rise of the big traitors.

At the end of 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Hao Peng was appointed as a major general of Hu Zongnan's 17th Army Corps. However, his personal character was controversial and he was criticized for his betrayal of his friend's wife. An affair caused an uproar, and he was accused of impropriety, resulting in more than a year of detention in Xi'an Prison.

In the winter of 1940, he escaped from prison and came to Beiping to take refuge with the traitor Wang Jingwei. Wang Jingwei was not optimistic about Hao Pengju at first, but on the battlefield where he voluntarily fought his own people with his outstanding performance, he gradually gained Wang Jingwei's trust and became an important member of Wang's puppet system.

Capricious and intriguing.

On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the Wang puppet regime fell. However, Hao Pengju, with the accumulated political capital, tried his best to curry favor with Chiang Kai-shek**, and was appointed commander-in-chief of the Sixth Route Army, stationed in the Xuzhou area. Despite the collapse of Wang's puppet regime, Hao Pengju did not fall.

Betrayal again, at the end of the game.

But Chiang Kai-shek was disdainful of Hao Pengju, not only demanded a lot, but even openly insulted him as a big traitor. In the face of such treatment, Hao Pengju, under the guidance of his old Soviet classmate Zhu Kejing, planned to defect to Chiang Kai-shek and defect to the New Fourth Army.

In June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek's army was menacing, and Hao Pengju swayed from side to side, planning to surrender Chiang Kai-shek again. This time, however, the capriciousness led to a righteous judgment.

The Last Judgment.

After the Battle of Baitabu, Hao Pengju was captured alive by the New Fourth Army. In the face of his capricious betrayal, the ** army commander wrote the poem "Shehao Pengju": "Teach you to be a man but not a man, teach you not to be a dog, and now you are captured in Seoul, and you are still teaching yourself to divide people and dogs." ”

During the escort, Hao Pengju tried to escape and was killed by our soldiers. This capricious traitor finally accepted the trial in front of justice and ended his life of sin.

The life experience of this historical figure is a true reflection of the complexity and turbulence of Chinese society during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. His speculative behavior, capricious betrayal, and eventual trial in the torrent of history undoubtedly provide us with profound historical lessons.

First of all, Hao Pengju's life shows that in the era of war, political and military turmoil made the choice of some characters complicated and difficult. As an officer from the Northwest Army, he surrendered repeatedly after being baptized by Feng Yuxiang's troops and the Soviet Military Academy, showing the difficult choice between political beliefs and personal interests during the war. This speculation also makes people reflect on how the values of morality and loyalty have become so fragile in the hearts of some people in troubled times.

Secondly, Hao Pengju's misconduct in his personal life, especially his infidelity to his friend's wife, highlighted the importance that society attached to individual morality at that time. At that time, the requirements for discipline and honesty in the military were extremely strict, and Hao Pengju's behavior was undoubtedly a serious violation of this ethical code. This unhealthy trend not only existed in the military, but also manifested itself at the broader social level, becoming a microcosm of the lack of social morality in that period.

In addition, Hao Pengju's surrender, mutiny, and political calculations show the brutal reality of political rivalry during the war years. His surrender to the Japanese army at different times, **and then surrender**, fully shows the complexity of the dark side of politics at that time. This also makes us reflect on whether political beliefs and human nature can stick to the right path in the face of ** and pressure in troubled times.

In the end, the end of Hao Pengju on the stage of history is a just trial of the betrayer. ** The commander's poem "Shehao Pengju" expresses deep dissatisfaction with his capricious behavior, but also reflects people's anger and expectations of justice for the betrayer. Such a historical judgment reminds us that in troubled times, justice and loyalty still have unshakable values.

In general, the experience of Hao Pengju, a historical figure, not only shows us the plight and choices of individuals in the war era, but also gives people a deeper understanding of the political darkness and social morality of that era. In the modern world, we need to learn from this history, promote justice and loyalty, and prevent similar historical tragedies from happening again.
