In March 1928, Huang Gongluo was about to graduate from the senior class of the Whampoa Military Academy, and received a letter from his friend ***, inviting him to return to work in the old army after graduation and prepare for a camp school. After Huang Gongluo got the consent of the organization, he and Huang Chun, a member of the organization.
1. He Guozhong arrived at Nanxian County, where the 1st Regiment of the 5th Independent Division was stationed. He arranged for the two comrades to stay in the hostel, and after he went to see the guards to report, he hurried out to greet them. **The reunion with Huang Gongluo after more than a year of separation was particularly happy, **introduced the party members of the 1st regiment, and began to discuss the preparation of the school with the camp. **Designated Zhou Pan as the principal, Huang Gongluo is actually in charge, and the teaching materials are subject to the textbooks of Hunan Jiangwutang. When it comes to the school's charter, which mentions the defeat of the new warlords, Huang Gongluo asked who he was referring to, and ** replied: "Of course, it refers to the Chiang family." This move made Huang Gongluo feign to be furious, and everyone looked at each other. ** Realizing that Huang Gongluo already knew everyone's secrets, he ordered it to be controlled.
The two suddenly made a move and tried to strangle Huang Gongluo, but were stopped by Deng Ping, who asked him to vent his anger and let him go for the time being. Huang Gongluo took off Deng Ping's leather shoes, and accidentally found a letter of introduction from the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee hidden in the shoes, ** was shocked after reading it, and immediately ordered Li and Zhang to release Deng Ping. Half an hour later, Deng Ping gradually recovered. ** reproached: "Gongluo, why are you doing this?"made such a joke and almost died. Deng Ping replied with a wry smile: "Now that you are in the position of the head of the regiment, who knows if you are a true revolution or a fake revolution?"After the misunderstanding was resolved, Deng Ping asked *** to send someone to the hostel to take Huang Chunyi and He Guozhong to the regiment headquarters. Soon, the independent 5th Division Suiying School was established in Nanxian County, and the division commander Zhou Pan announced at the opening ceremony that Deng Ping was the vice principal, He Guozhong was the chief of education, and Huang Chunyi was the captain, and he never appeared in the school again.
The Huarong'an Special Committee of Nanxian County asked Peng, Deng and others to cultivate and strengthen the revolutionary forces through the camp school, and strive to launch a division-wide uprising with the 1st Regiment as the core within two years. Deng Ping's stay at the school was very short. When the first batch of cadets had not yet graduated, the 5th Independent Division was ordered to go to Pingjiang, and because the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment ** was removed, Division Commander Zhou transferred Deng Ping to take over, and the school with the battalion was in charge of He Guozhong, the chief of education. In mid-June 1928, the 5th Independent Division arrived in Pingjiang one after another, except for the school with the camp. **'s 1st Regiment was stationed in the county seat and south of the city, while Deng Ping's 3rd Regiment and 3rd Battalion were stationed in Chiayi Town, Dongxiang, more than 60 miles away from the county seat. Liu Jiren, the commander of Deng Ping's 3rd Regiment, was very reactionary. Deng Ping parachuted into the 3rd battalion, and in order to gain a quick foothold, he took out his own money and distributed it to the soldiers. At this time, the 5th Independent Division was in arrears for five months. The soldiers were very happy and said that the new battalion commander was good. However, just when Deng Ping's work in the 3rd Battalion was beginning to bear fruit, something unexpected happened.
On July 18, the South China Security Special Committee was cracked, and the pass that Deng Ping had issued to the comrades of the South China Security Special Committee in Nan County was also seized. Zhou Pan, the commander of the 5th Independent Division in Changsha, sent a telegram to Li Huigen, the deputy commander of the division in Pingjiang, ordering the immediate arrest of Deng Ping and Huang Chun.
1. He Guozhong is a three-person group. This situation was noticed by Chen Yucheng, a member of the underground organization around Zhou Pan, and he immediately secretly sent a telegram to inform *** and quickly rushed to the telegraph office to detain Zhou Pan's telegram to Li Huigen. The situation was urgent, and Teng Daiyuan, the special commissioner of the provincial party committee in Pingjiang, immediately convened a meeting of the organization members of the 1st regiment to discuss countermeasures. On July 22, 1928, the 5th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army planned an armed uprising, secretly informed Huang Gongluo to carry out an uprising in Chiayi, and then went to Pingjiang to rendezvous. At the same time, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army also informed He Guozhong to lead the school to Pingjiang to join the uprising. In order to appease Zhou Pan, ** called back in the name of Li Huigen and said: "The three of them have been instructed **, and the school has received an order to come to Pingjiang." ”。
At the same time, Huang Gonglue's actions in the 3rd battalion aroused the suspicion of the regiment commander Liu Jiren. On July 20, Huang Gongluo released Huang Yaonan, a Red Guard who was imprisoned in the township, but was discovered by the nephew of Liu Jiren, the commander of the 3rd Battalion. Huang Gongluo realized that he had been exposed and decided to launch an uprising in advance. On the afternoon of 21 July, Huang Gonglue launched a mutiny among the soldiers of the whole battalion under the pretext of making a fuss, killed Liu Jiren's nephew and another reactionary company commander on the spot, and at the same time shot the leader of the local house-to-house regiment and seized all the guns of the door-to-door regiment. At 4 p.m. on July 23, the 3rd Battalion led by Huang Gongluo finally arrived at the outskirts of Pingjiang. At the same time, ** and Teng Daiyuan had led the 1st Regiment to launch an uprising on July 22 and won the victory, and He Guozhong also led the school to rush back to Pingjiang on time. Huang Gongluo was worried that leading his troops into the city at this time would cause misunderstanding, so he arranged for the troops to rest in a small town 5 miles north of the city, and he rode alone to report to ***.
However, shortly after leaving, the 3rd Battalion defected at the instigation of the reactionary company commander He Zhongbin. After learning the news, Huang Gongluo was furious and immediately wanted to catch up, but was finally dissuaded by ***. That night, Huang Gonglue made a profound self-criticism at the party committee of the Youth League. He profoundly realized that when the troops were not yet stable, the principal leaders must not easily break away from the troops. On the afternoon of July 24, a rally was held in Pingjiang City to celebrate the victory of the Pingjiang Uprising, which was attended by tens of thousands of people. At the meeting, the establishment of the 5th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was officially announced, with ** as the commander of the army and commander of the 13th Division, and Teng Daiyuan as the representative of the military party and the representative of the division party. The 13th Division had more than 2,500 men and commanded the 1st, 4th, and 7th regiments, and Huang Gonglue was appointed as the party representative of the 4th regiment. Originally, the Red Fifth Army was planned to take Pingjiang as the center and strive to build a revolutionary base area in the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border region in a short period of time. However, under the enemy's powerful "encirclement and suppression", the troops suffered heavy losses and were seriously undersupplied, forcing them to find another way.
In October 1928, the Red 5th Army, which had greatly reduced its personnel, was reorganized into three columns, of which Huang Gongluo served as the commander of the second column. Soon after, ** and Teng Daiyuan led the 1st and 3rd columns to successfully break out of the enemy's encirclement and join forces with the Red 4th Army led by Zhu and Mao at Shangjinggangshan. At the same time, Huang Gongluo led the 2nd Column to stay in the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border area and resolutely carry out guerrilla warfare.
