The defected commander of the Red Army division, Fang Buzhou,Uprising, what was the result of the uprising?
Fang Buzhou, the immortal legend in the long history, has crossed the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. From his study experience at the Whampoa Military Academy, to his heroic participation in the Nanchang Uprising, to the glorious chapter of the Red Army division commander, he was the founder of the great revolutionary cause of the Communist Party of China in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Soviet Regions.
However, the trajectory of his life was not static, and he chose to part ways with the Red Army at a turning point in history and joined the ranks of the Kuomintang. But what is amazing is that at the end of the Liberation War, he resolutely led the troops to revolt, and even planned to arrest Chiang Kai-shek, just to end the protracted civil war.
His story is a vivid lesson in the interweaving of loyalty and choice.
Let's delve into the legendary life of Fang Buzhou: this outstanding person born in Daye, Hubei Province, graduated from Daye County High School in 1920 and went to Wuhan to seek knowledge with ideals.
There, he was deeply influenced by the democratic revolution and Marxism, and threw himself into the revolutionary torrent. In 1927, in the flames of the Nanchang Uprising, he bravely served as a squad leader as a member of the Communist Party and participated in a historic turning point.
After the failure of the uprising, he went underground and continued to ignite the flame of revolution in Wuhan. From chief of staff of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Military Region to commander of the 16th Red Division, and then to director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, his military and leadership qualities have become increasingly apparent.
However, in the midst of a seemingly bright career, an unknown turn his fate abruptly. The story of Fang Buzhou is full of twists and choices, what kind of deep thinking and determination are hidden behind his uprising?
His final ending is undoubtedly a revolutionary chapter worth reading.
In the early spring of 1937, Fang Buzhou and Fu Qiutao, secretary of the provincial party committee, had a deep disagreement on strategic choices, and Fu Qiutao questioned and wanted to revoke Fang Buzhou's post as division commander and expel him from the party.
This caused Fang Buzhou's faith to waver, and he quietly left the Red Army and moved to northern Jiangxi, wanting to fight side by side with Yu Zhaoguang, secretary of the special committee. Unexpectedly, when passing through the Shazhou store, he was unfortunately **, and then was sent to Wuhan Xingying.
Despite being in prison, he was inclined to support our party. With the realization of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, in 1937, Fang Buzhou devoted himself to the peace negotiations in Pingjiang and practiced the alliance of the two parties with practical actions.
In the face of the Japanese army's Yangtze River offensive, he resolutely returned, gathered his old troops, and formed an anti-Japanese team of more than 3,000 people in southeastern Hubei Province, which became an influential local anti-Japanese force.
However, when he tried to seek a connection with the New Fourth Army in Pingjiang and invite the party organization to send a political commissar, his request was politely rejected by the New Fourth Army office, which undoubtedly added to the challenge of his sole leadership.
In 1939, Fang Buzhou's guerrilla team was included in the 9th Theater of the Kuomintang by General Chen Cheng, and became the guerrilla commander of the 2nd Column with the rank of major general, stationed on the shore of Liangzi Lake in southern Hunan.
Despite occasional friction with our party's anti-Japanese forces, he always avoided head-on conflicts. However, as the Lianghu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade was incorporated into its division, they came under increasingly strict control by the Kuomintang.
The Kuomintang's internal purge led to Captain Wang Shui**, Fang Buzhou, who was also imprisoned in order to protect underground party members. However, in the winter of 1947, Fang Buzhou's old friend and Kuomintang general Liu Peichu pleaded with Chiang Kai-shek to release him with his outstanding vision.
After being released from prison, Fang Buzhou did not stop, but was promoted to the deputy captain of the appeasement corps of the Ministry of National Defense and the captain of the 6th brigade within the Kuomintang system. But then, with a striking move, he sent a strong signal to Chiang Kai-shek.
His uprising, and how history was eventually written, became a legend of the era.
On April 23, 1949, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) captured Nanjing, marking the end of Chiang's rule. On the same day, the Kuomintang Youth Rescue Corps (formerly the Appeasement Corps) led by Deputy Captain Fang Buzhou revolted decisively in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and even planned to arrest Chiang Kai-shek.
Although he had served for the Kuomintang, Fang Buzhou always insisted on ties with the Communist Party, and as early as the first half of 1948, he secretly established contacts with the three local committees of the Communist Party of China in Jianghan and actively prepared for the uprising.
In January 1949, the Youth Rescue Corps was transformed into the second column of the "Youth National Salvation Corps" and was entrusted with the arduous task of the periphery of Xikou. In the face of Chiang Ching-kuo's retention, he responded: "When the country is in crisis, loyalty is especially valuable.
It is easy to accept others in good times, but in adversity, it is not easy for you to come all the way from Hubei and choose to stand on the opposite side of me. However, these words failed to shake Fang Buzhou's firm determination to revolt.
On April 23, a secret uprising was staged ahead of schedule due to intelligence leakage, and Fang Buzhou decisively ordered the special service company to perform key tasks, cut communication lines, set up roadblocks, and then led 800 warriors to quickly advance to the Simingshan guerrilla base area.
Despite the loss of heavy machine guns on the way, they approached their destination in the darkness of night. When the Siming Working Committee of the Communist Party of China heard the news, it greeted it with a grand ceremony"Youth Rescue Corps"of heroic actions, awarded to them"Troops of Light"The name of glory. "
Troops of Light"Since then, he has been active in Huanggulin, Shangyu and other places, and has made great achievements for the liberation of eastern Zhejiang. In the years after the liberation of the country, Fang Buzhou changed his name to Xiang Guangru and held an important position in Xuancheng Farm in Anhui.
He retired in 1982 and died peacefully in Nanjing in 1990. Although he had been transformed, he never posed a threat to our party, which made ** and *** accept his return.
