“Secretary Gu, I can't believe Hao Pengju. He treats you, you must not go, and even if you go, you have to bring guards!
On January 2, 1947, a staff officer stopped the secretary of the Shandong Binhai Prefecture Party Committee and refused to let him go out. And ** smiled and said: ".It's okay, it's okay, I'll go this time, it's enough to bring three people. Do you know? It's called going to the meeting alone. Who is he Hao Pengju? I go to his headquarters, what's the point of having a few more people on someone's territory?
As he spoke, he patted the staff officer's shoulder, his expression changed from relaxed to severe, and said, ".If I can't come back this time, it means that Hao Pengju has really defected, and you will immediately report to the ** commander and give him some colors to see。As he spoke, he beckoned to the three soldiers he had already chosen, and several of them walked out of the door, turned over their horses, and headed towards Hao Pengju's headquarters.
Hao Pengju is the most famous villain in the Liberation War, he is capricious, rebellious, cunning and insidious. But this time he met **, and he saw what guts are.
Hao Pengju, a native of Lingbao, Henan, studied in the Soviet Union in his early years. After returning to China, he has been tossing and turning in the miscellaneous armies of various Kuomintang, and by virtue of patting horses and drilling camps, he actually became a military commander. After the Anti-Japanese War, he was instructed by Chiang Kai-shek to constantly create friction with the New Fourth Army. However, he also knows his level, so he always controls the scale of friction to a small degree and does not do things too much.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Hao Pengju's miscellaneous army was absorbed by Chiang Kai-shek. However, on the issue of food and wages, the Kuomintang War Department never met his demands. Hao Pengju was angry in his heart, and at the same time, the ** commander of the People's Liberation Army began to launch a political offensive against him. In January 1946, Hao Pengju led his 20,000 miscellaneous troops to launch an uprising and became a revolutionary soldier.
After Hao Pengju rebelled, he repeatedly expressed his loyalty to the ** commander, and some of his methods and language were quite numb. **I hate this kind of behavior very much, and I have more and more opinions about Hao Pengju. Hao Pengju saw that he was dissatisfied with himself, so he began to slack off passively, and he was not enthusiastic about things such as adaptation and warfare, and he knew that he wanted food and salary every day.
In June 1946, the War of Liberation began. ** The Shandong Field Army, which commanded it, did not perform well in the early stages of the battle. This made Chiang Kai-shek feel that the Shandong region could make a big fuss. As a result, the five main forces of the Kuomintang entered Shandong one after another and launched a key attack on the liberated areas here. **At this time, he made a decision to merge with the Central China Field Army led by Su Yu to form the East China Field Army to jointly resist the enemy's attack.
However, when the merger was not completed, Hao Pengju couldn't hold on. After seeing the frantic offensive of the Kuomintang army, Hao Pengju regretted it and felt that he was on the wrong side. He began to make contact with the Kuomintang commanders, hoping to surrender.
After receiving the news, Chiang Kai-shek was naturally very happy and made a wish to Hao Peng to be crowned an official. Hao Peng was overjoyed, and gradually began to get carried away, and did not do a good job of secrecy. Soon, Hao Pengju's imminent rebellion became a secret known to everyone in the liberated areas.
However, Hao Pengju's shamelessness is beyond people's imagination. He actually wanted to extort some food from the People's Liberation Army before the mutiny. So, he sent an invitation to the secretary of the prefectural party committee in charge of military quartermasters, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner.
* He is a cadre in charge of the economy, but he is no less courageous than a person who goes to the battlefield. After receiving Hao Pengju's invitation, he called Zhu Hongde, Xue Dinggui, and Li Meilin, three PLA soldiers, and was about to go out with his legs raised. Of course, other cadres can't just let ** go, Hao Pengju's rebellion has now been rumored, and going to him for a banquet at this time is not a sheep into the tiger's mouth? If you really want to go, you have to bring a guard platoon, and if something happens, you will have to take care of it.
As described at the beginning of this article, looking at his comrades who were worried about him, the secretary smiled. Of course he knew the danger, but if he didn't go to the banquet, how could he fight for the last chance to show righteousness to Hao Peng and make him give up the rebellion? If you go, in the face of Hao Pengju's 20,000 people, the situation is similar with a few guards. As he said, going to see Hao Pengju this time was indeed a "one-handed meeting".
At noon on January 2, Secretary ** took three guards to Hao Pengju's headquarters. Along the way, they had already seen the abnormality of the situation, Hao Pengju's soldiers, one by one with bayonets on their guns, their faces were solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy. When they saw the four of them, their eyes wandered and they didn't dare to look directly. Obviously, Hao Pengju is really going to do it. Soldier Li Meilin quietly put his hand into the gun magazine and opened the nose of the barge gun. He winced, and the other two guards were ready for battle.
The four of them entered Hao Pengju's reception room, only to see that in a small room, there was a steaming hot pot in the middle, surrounded by mutton, roast chicken, tofu, and cabbage. Hao Pengju sat on the main seat, accompanied by several senior officers under him. Behind these men were more than a dozen soldiers with loaded guns, and above the barrels were bright bayonets. The whole room looked murderous, like a treat.
The three guards, at this time, were extremely nervous, and their eyes looked at the people around them vigilantly. The ** secretary looked calm, and sat at the table under the greeting of Hao Pengju.
An embarrassing hot pot banquet began. In addition to toasting, Hao Pengju told the ** secretary how loyal he was to the revolution and how difficult his troops were. In and out of the words, it is still his usual attitude: ask for food. ** It is to highlight the situation in the liberated areas, indicating that everyone is not rich now, and they hope to overcome the difficulties together. The two of them didn't talk speculatively, and when they talked, they were a little cold.
At this time, an officer who was accompanying him suddenly looked at the soldier who was standing, and then leaned on Hao Pengju's ear and said something. Hao Pengju's face immediately became ugly, but he didn't say anything. The officer seemed to be in a hurry, and kept raising his eyes at Hao Peng. Hao Pengju remained silent and silent as usual.
The three guards had already seen that this was the officer urging Hao Peng to "smash the cup", and they couldn't help but clench their fists. **It's as relaxed as ever, but the words in the mouth are getting sharper and sharper. He said, " . .Commander Hao, now that the PLA is adjusting and reorganizing, its combat effectiveness is much stronger than before. Chiang Kai-shek's key offensive had already suffered setbacks in several directions. Their advantages are only temporary, and at this time, you need to take a long-term view.
Hao Pengju hurriedly claimed yes, and then there was another "show loyalty" performance. A "Hongmen Banquet" ended in such an embarrassing atmosphere.
Coming out of the meeting room, the ** secretary hurriedly went to meet Zhu Kejing, Gu Fengming and others, the military representatives of the People's Liberation Army in Hao Pengju's army, and told them to be careful. At this time, a part of the troops of the Shandong Binhai Naval Region came to respond, and ** and others withdrew safely.
In fact, it was not Hao Pengju's intention to leave ** this time. The soldiers he arranged really wanted to be unfavorable to **, and even wanted to use him as a "vote". But when it came to the end, he was scared again and didn't dare to do it. But as soon as he left, he regretted it again, so a few days later, he let some of his troops attack some of the PLA's outlying positions in disguise. As a result, the People's Liberation Army came to a small encirclement and wiped out all the bandits.
After this skirmish, Hao Pengju directly ordered Zhu Kejing to be arrested and openly defected to the enemy. In order to counter the pressure of the People's Liberation Army, Hao Peng began to contact the Kuomintang 57th Division stationed in Haizhou to help him. Duan Linmao, commander of the 57th Division, swore an oath, saying that as long as Hao Pengju officially started his troops, he would definitely go to meet him.
At this time, the People's Liberation Army was engaged in the Laiwu Campaign, and there was no time to deal with Hao Pengju for the time being, and Hao Pengju was relatively free. He was full of hope that if he "surrendered," he would receive attention from Nanjing, as well as ammunition and supplies. Reality seemed to confirm his hopes, and he soon heard that the 20,000 members of the Kuomintang army, Chen Cheng and Xue Yue, were going to summon him and reward him.
On January 29, Hao Pengju met two senior officials in Xuzhou. Just like the first **, Hao Pengju came first to "show loyalty". Chen Cheng and Xue Yue seemed absent-minded, and if Hao Pengju said five words, they might not be able to say a word. Hao Pengju saw that the situation was not right, so he could only bite the bullet and put forward his own requirements for materials and ammunition.
Chen Cheng's face immediately turned cold, and he said"Now that we are in a period of war, the materials of our troops are also very difficult, and I hope that General Hao can overcome the difficulties together. In this way, I'll write a note, if it's really difficult, you can go to Duan Linmao of the 57th Division to raise money. You must hurry up and prepare your troops for battle and cooperate with us.
Chen Cheng's attitude surprised Hao Pengju. The Kuomintang troops did not attach importance to the tradition of miscellaneous troops, and he knew that if it were not for this, he would not have moved closer to the PLA. But he didn't expect that the battlefield situation of the Kuomintang army was not good now, and he should have actively wooed himself, but he didn't expect it to be so cold. He had no choice but to take Chen Cheng's note and go to Duan Linmao, who had a good conversation with him before.
Duan Linmao looked at the strips, changed his enthusiastic attitude in the past, and became very cold. The supply of military rations is also short of catties and shortages, and it can be delayed. Many of Hao Pengju's soldiers complained in private, saying that they had followed the People's Liberation Army and had a full bite to eat; Now that I have voted for the Kuomintang, I am hungry. Some people who did not want to follow the Kuomintang in the first place were connected with each other at this time and fled to the liberated areas together. Hao Pengju, who claimed to have a force of 20,000 people, left nearly half of it at once.
In February 1947, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) launched a lightning attack on Hao Pengju's troops. Hao Pengju, who was already weak, was powerless to resist at all, and was surrounded in just one day. At this time, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, Duan Linmao and others sent planes and response troops, but they were beaten back by the People's Liberation Army as soon as they appeared.
On February 28, Hao Peng jumped over the wall with his dog and attacked the Longhai Liberated Area, trying to escape from the road. However, at this time, he is like a frightened bird, and can he run to the **? Soon, he was captured by the PLA. In April, he was not honest during the escort and tried to escape, but was shot dead by our escort troops, and ended up in a shameful end.
