In Taipei in early 1949, in the heavily guarded Army Training Headquarters of Chiang's army, Wen Junpeng, a young officer, walked into the office of his colleague Wen Xiang with a happy expression, and he said excitedly: "The Army Training Department plans to send people to Hunan to recruit young students, which is really good news!" ”
When Wen Xiang heard the news, he was also very excited: "This is a good opportunity, we should try our best to go back." Tell the news to **. Wen Junpeng, Wen Xiang and ** are fellow villagers in Hunan, they participated in the India-Burma Expeditionary Force together during the Anti-Japanese War, and then were transferred to Taiwan Island to serve in the Army Training Command.
Chiang's Army Training Command trained a group of enthusiastic young officers on the island, who were extremely dissatisfied with Chiang's corruption and internal contradictions, and gradually realized that there was no future in Chiang's camp.
With the successive victories of the Liberation War, they began to look for a new way out, hoping to take refuge in our side and get a better future. Because of their common ideals and beliefs, these people often communicated and consulted together, and decided to look for an opportunity to break away from Chiang's army.
In the end, Wen Junpeng and ** were sent to the mainland to recruit students. In Changsha, they were very excited to learn the news of the uprising of Jiang Yaxun, Chen Zhongyi, Yu Maichang and others in Huangcai and Tang City in Ningxiang and decided to take action immediately.
They sent a telegram to Wen Xiang, urging him to return to Hunan immediately on the grounds of "his father's death", and at the same time, under the pretext of returning to Ningxiang Huangcai to visit relatives, he contacted Jiang Yaxun about the uprising through Yu Mai.
After Wen Junpeng returned to Yiyang, he took over the Yiyang recruitment station of the 206th Division of the Jiang Army's Youth Army and got in touch with his old friend Fu Qingjun.
The young army of Jiang Jun reunited and expressed their revolutionary feelings. One of the young men, Wen Junpeng, expressed his idea to follow the example of Jiang Yaxun and Chen Zhongyi in the Huangtang uprising and seek a bright future.
His idea was appreciated by Fu Qingjun, who also introduced him to Wen Xinglang, a member of the underground organization. Wen Xinglang was steady, dignified, and kind, and Wen Junpeng felt that he was trustworthy enough and confided his thoughts to him.
Wen Xinglang was very happy and pointed out that Wen Junpeng's idea was very good, but for a revolution, it must be well organized. After much consideration, Wen Junpeng decided to follow Wen Xinglang and prepare for the armed struggle under his leadership.
In late February, Wen Junpeng participated in the formation of the secret peripheral organization headed by Wen Xinglang, the "Yiqing Society", and was appointed as the organizer and head of the underground armed forces.
At this time, Wen Xiang had returned to Yiyang from Taiwan Island. Together, they studied and drew up a plan for the struggle, and immediately made separate preparations. ** Went back to Ningxiang to find Jiang Yaxun and reported his intention to revolt, and Jiang Yaxun appreciated it very much.
In early March, Jiang Yaxun sent Tan Yinnan to Yiyang with **, and awarded Wen Xinglang and others the number of "Yiyang 4th Detachment of the 3rd Column of the Hunan Military Region" in the underground party stronghold "Yiqing Society".
* During this period, Wen Junpeng established a team with more than 60 guns in Yiyang, and Wen Xiang established another guerrilla force of more than 50 people in Taojiang. The two teams prepared to hold a riot in Taojiang Town, but Gong Xiaoren, deputy head of the intelligence group of the Yiyang County Security Regiment of the Jiang Army, detected the plan of the uprising, and the enemy strengthened its defense and carried out a search.
Wen Xinglang, Wen Junpeng, Wen Xiang and others decided to postpone the uprising after research. On April 1, the two teams held a pledge meeting in Songmutang Xiangtao Garden in Taojiang, and officially established the "No. 4 Detachment of Yiyang of the 3rd Column of the Hunan Military Region."
The detachment consisted of Wen Xinglang as political commissar, Wen Bo as deputy commander, Wen Junpeng as chief of staff, and Wen Yi as director of the Political Department.
During the War of Liberation, the 3rd Vertical and 4th Detachment, under the leadership of Wen Xinglang, aimed to eliminate Chiang's bandit army, greet the liberation of the whole country, and fight hard to build a democratic, prosperous, prosperous and powerful new China.
Their battle cry was loud and passionate, including the defeat of Lao Chiang and the defeat of the local tyrants and inferior gentry; Everyone has food, clothing and crops; Anti-conscription, anti-ration, anti-taxation, etc.
As a revolutionary armed force, the detachment took Songmutang as its base and carried out guerrilla armed struggle on the Ningyi'an border. They seized the guns of the former regimental defense bureau at Qiaotou River, repelled the attack of the search company of the security corps directly under the provincial government, and blocked the counterattack of one company of the security regiment at Dafuping, showing fearless courage and firm determination.
In order to win the support of the people, they not only distributed thousands of quintals of rice from the granary of Chiang's army and more than 1,000 quintals of grain confiscated by the bully landlord Hu Chutao to the local peasants to help them tide over the difficulties, but also made the guerrillas roar and made the Chiang army tremble.
However, at this very moment, a traitor appeared within the fourth detachment, and the partisans faced a great test. Wen Da and Hu Gandian were originally reactionary figures among the township officers of the Jiang army, and they colluded with the township chief Deng Zhimin and the reactionary township chief Hu Gang.
Due to the long-term exclusion and blows by the Chiang clan, they held a grudge against the Chiang army. As the revolutionary situation developed, they saw an opportunity to make a comeback, so they disguised themselves as revolutionaries and infiltrated the fourth detachment.
With the status of "progressive officers", they stole the position of captain of the 1st and 2nd brigades, respectively. However, their true nature was exposed in early May when 12 people, including Guo Ren and 12 others who came to contact the 4th detachment, were falsely accused of bandits, their guns were confiscated, and they were arrested and detained.
Guo Ren was a member of an underground organization, and in February 1948, as a reporter of the Hunan branch of the Far East News Agency, he led Zhang Nanwu and other comrades to the area of Shimen Nanxiang in Changde to do rebellion work.
At the height of the revolution, Hou Zonghan participated in the revolution. However, at the low ebb of the revolution, he chose betrayal. Guo Ren believed that Hou Zonghan was now in a predicament and might be won back, so he targeted him for rebellion and encouraged him to fight back.
After meticulous work, Hou Zonghan agreed to form a "democratic coalition army" with more than 1,000 officers and men under his jurisdiction, including the Xiajiaxiang Police Station, the County Security Brigade, and the Panshi Township Office, as well as more than 1,000 officers and men under his jurisdiction, and more than 200 guns.
Guo Ren moved into Hou Zonghan's house, pretended to be a mineralogist, collected shares in Taifu Mountain, opened mines, and secretly planned to establish a guerrilla army. On March 5, at Hou Zonghan's home, a swearing-in meeting was held, announcing the establishment of the 1st Independent Division of the Democratic Alliance Army, with division commander Guo Ren, deputy division commanders Hou Zonghan and Zhou Changsong, and political commissar Qiu Chunmei.
However, as a traitor to the CCP, Hou Zonghan was wary of the party, and he saw the increasing number of underground workers and their frequent activities, so he was afraid that he would be left empty-handed, so there was no sign of going to the mountains to guerrilla.
At this time, Gong Zexiang, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Democratic Alliance Army, was in Yiyang**, and his appointment order and other documents were searched. Li Mo'an, director of the 17th appeasement area of the Jiang army, threatened to send troops to Hou Zonghan to clear it.
After Hou Zonghan got the news, he immediately rushed to Changde and conspired with his close friend, Chen Bacui, a special agent of the Central Union, and decided to defect. The underground organization sensed suspicious signs and suggested that Guo Ren leave Shimen temporarily, but Guo Cheng was so anxious that he refused the suggestion regardless of his personal safety.
On June 1, Hou Zonghan openly rebelled and ordered the imprisonment of Guo Ren and others. Subsequently, Guo and others were escorted to the Military Justice Department of the 17th Appeasement District of Changde for detention. On March 5, 1949, with the help of an underground organization, Guo Ren escaped from prison in Changde and returned to his hometown of Yingfengqiao, Yiyang.
In late April, Guo Ren rebuilt the guerrillas around Yingfeng Bridge, but was soon besieged by the Yiyang and Hanshou security regiments. Guo Ren and others fought bravely, led 12 people to break out of the encirclement, and came to Songmutang in Taojiang in early May, intending to join Wen Xinglang's 4th detachment, but unexpectedly they were falsely accused of bandits by Wen Da and Hu Gandian and captured.
Wen Xinglang and Wen Junpeng learned the news two days later and immediately went to the rescue, but the enemy had already struck first. As soon as Guo Ren and others were captured by Wenda and Hu Gandian, they were detected by the Yiyang Security Corps.
The head of the regiment, Xiong Jianxun, the commissioner of the fifth district and the commander of the security department, Hu Weima, and others urgently planned, and secretly sent the spy He Changwu (the son of He Xuan, the commander of the Jiang army) to rush to the turtle stone of Wenda's garrison at night and bribed Wenda and Hu Gandian.
His Majesty He Xuan and Hu Wei ordered Wen and Hu to be executed, and their bodies were transported to Yiyang. However, in the early morning of May 7, Wen and Hu secretly killed Guo Ren and 11 others in the mountains behind the Guyi Primary School in Shishan Bay, and only one female guerrilla was occupied by Hu Gandian and survived.
Soon after, Wen Da and Hu Gandian openly defected to the enemy, and lured and coerced the 1st Brigade to defect to the Yiyang County Security Corps. Xiong Jianxun, the head of the security regiment, personally went to Taojiang Huaqiao to meet with Wen Da and Hu Qiandian, and rewarded each of them with 500 yuan Guangyang.
Wenda was incorporated as the commander of the 4th Battalion of the County Security Regiment, stationed in Shiniujiang, and cooperated with more than 90 guns of Deng Zhimin, the head of Taoyuan Township. Xiong Jianxun also sent Hu Gan's telecommunications department to cormorant crossing, and joined more than 40 guns with Hu Gang, the head of Wufeng Township, to form an encirclement of the 4th detachment.
After Wen Hehu rebelled, he was rewarded with a large number of ** and silver dollars from the five special offices and the four county joint defense headquarters. Day and night, they recruited guerrillas around Songmutang, promising that those who surrendered without guns would be rewarded with 50 oceans, and those who surrendered with guns would be rewarded with 100 oceans.
The traitor used his own experience to persuade Wen Junpeng and Wen Xiang, saying that they had just gone astray, and if they could surrender, they could be expected to serve as battalion commanders. Wen Da and Deng Zhimin led their troops to encircle and suppress Zhang Guangqian's guerrillas, but did not suffer losses.
The 4th detachment was weak and in a dangerous situation in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the main force of the enemy security regiment with the assistance of traitors. Wen Xinglang and others believed that although the 1st Brigade was coerced into defecting, many officers and soldiers did not want to defect to Chiang's army, and they could secretly contact them, attack inside and outside, and eliminate traitors.
Wen Junpeng boldly proposed that he lead his troops down the mountain to "surrender", create an opportunity to contact Wen Xisheng and Wen Heqing, kill the traitor, and pull the team back. Many people objected to this, believing that the enemy's words could not be trusted, and that rash action could lead to disarming and falling into the trap of the enemy.
After careful consideration, Wen Junpeng proposed that the enemy would only use the guerrillas until they were completely eliminated, so they could not attack themselves immediately. After heated discussions, the guerrillas reluctantly agreed to his plan, but they demanded that Wen Junpeng execute the traitors for a period of 5 days after the "fake surrender", and if the mission was not completed within 5 days, he must go back up the mountain to prevent long nights.
As expected, after Wen Junpeng led 30 team members down the mountain, Xiong Jianxun regarded him as a treasure, immediately appointed him as the deputy commander of the 4th Battalion of the Security Regiment, and generously rewarded him with 400 oceans.
However, Wen Junpeng did not let his guard down, he immediately contacted Wen Xisheng and Wen Heqing and formulated a well-thought-out "hoeing plan". On June 16, the third day after Wen Junpeng's "fake surrender", Wen Da and Hu Gandian hosted a banquet for Wen Junpeng at Cormorant Crossing, where the 4th Battalion of the Security Regiment was stationed.
However, in the early morning of the next day, Wen Junpeng, Wen Xisheng, and Wen Heqing suddenly attacked and killed the unsuspecting Wen Da and Hu Gandian. Then, Wen Junpeng immediately attacked Shiniujiang, surrounded the Taoyuan Township Office, and killed Wen Xizhen, Wen Da and Hu Qiandian's sworn friend, on the spot.
Except for the township head Deng Zhimin, who escaped over the wall, the rest were all captured, including more than 90 township officers and policemen, a team of more than 200 guns, and more than 300 long and short guns, 60,000 rounds of ammunition, 2 Japanese-style 92 heavy machine guns, 8 Czech 38 machine guns, and 2 82 mortars.
The core idea remains the same, and the new copy simplifies the content and adds descriptive details.
In a short period of two days of continuous fighting, the officers and men of the 4th Detachment of the Japanese 92 heavy machine guns rushed back and forth for more than 200 miles, successfully eliminated the enemy in the two township offices, totaling more than 130 people, and killed the traitors.
This operation avenged Guo Ren's blood revenge, and at the same time recovered two brigades and strengthened the revolutionary ranks. The officers and men of the guerrillas and the masses stationed in the area rejoiced at this, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
The enemy, on the other hand, was terrified, and reported the news of the annihilation of Wenda and Hu Qiandian, lamenting their defeat and mourning the two ugly wisps of the dead. By the end of June, the 4th Detachment of Yiyang was reorganized into the 2nd Yiyang Assault Brigade of the 1st Detachment of Central Hunan Province, with Wen Xinglang as the instructor, Wen Bo as the captain, Wen Xiang as the deputy captain and the captain of the 1st Squadron, Wen Junpeng as the chief of staff and the leader of the 2nd Squadron, and Liu Bingyang as the leader of the 3rd Squadron.
The brigade had more than 800 guns. After the liberation, Wen Junpeng served as the captain of the Yiyang County Public Security Team and the deputy chief of the administrative department of the Yiyang Construction Bank.
