At 8 p.m. on September 27, fierce gunfire rang out in Taipei. Under the leadership of Major General Meng Hsin-wu, deputy commander of the military police, the Taipei column of the military police headquarters launched a rebellion and launched an attack on important military and political targets in the Boai Police District of Taipei City, the heart of Taiwan's political and military forces. The gendarmerie units participating in the rebellion engaged in fierce shootouts with the troops guarding the Kuomintang Army Headquarters, the Ministry of Defense and the Taiwan Radio Station. In the end, both sides used all the equipment they could use. Armored vehicles and large-caliber artillery shelled each other. In two hours of fierce fighting, nearly 1,600 people were killed and wounded on both sides! Civilians lost nearly 3,000 people. Because Sun Liren's cadet unit of the Fourth Officer Training Class was not well prepared and its combat effectiveness was not as strong as that of the officers and men of the column directly under the Kuomintang Military Police Headquarters, two hours after the riot broke out, the column directly under the military police had already captured the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense and the Taipei Radio Station.

After the military police directly subordinate column captured the Taiwan radio station, Meng Xianwu, deputy commander of the heavily armed Kuomintang military police, walked out of the armored car and, under the protection of many military police, walked into the live broadcast room of the Taiwan radio station, which was filled with gunsmoke, and made a live broadcast speech: "Comrades of the Kuomintang party members, brothers of the National Revolutionary Army, I am Major General Meng Xianwu, deputy commander of the military police of the Republic of China, and I am now arresting the chief criminal of Sun Liren's treasonous clique on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek, President of The President of the Republic of China. Sun Liren was the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, and when the country was in crisis, he resisted the communists and saved the country. Instead, they have colluded with the mainland communists and bandits for a long time, betrayed the important military, political, and economic intelligence of the party-state, curried favor with the mainland [***] regime, and exchanged political interests for themselves. What's more, on the night of September 20, he colluded with the communist army to take advantage of President Chiang's convening of a meeting of the main leaders of the party and government to attack the official residence of President Mingyangshan. In an attempt to eliminate the principal leading comrades of the party-state, party, government, and army in one fell swoop, and replace them with them. On the evening of September 21, the day after the attack, Sun couldn't wait to jump out. He formed the so-called Taiwan Military Control Commission to achieve his goal of controlling Taiwan's party, government, and military leadership. His military management committee is completely illegal. Our wise leader, President Chiang, was aware of Sun Liren's actions, and before the communist air raid, President Chiang was like a god, and he had already moved ahead of time and successfully evaded the communist air raid. Now he is leading us in a place that is not suitable to be revealed, and is carrying out a crusade against the [***] traitorous group organized by Sun Jianliren, so as to uphold justice and restore the people of Taiwan to a bright and blue sky.

All the officers and men of our heroic military police unit, under the leadership of the wise President Chiang, have successfully defeated the resistance of the traitorous clique of the rebellious Sun Liren after two hours of bloody fighting. The main armed force of the traitorous group under his leadership, the cadet corps of the Fourth Officer Training School, has surrendered to our military police units one after another, and now the military police column directly under him is carrying out the final extermination of the remnants of the traitorous group. I hereby warn Sun to lay down their arms and stop resisting immediately, and we will not be blamed for the past, otherwise, we will.

After the deputy commander of the Taiwan military police, Meng Xianwu, delivered a live speech. The soft voice of a female announcer came out of the radio again: "Now the full text of President Chiang Kai-shek's crusade against the [***] traitorous clique organized by Sun Liren: all comrades of the Kuomintang, colleagues of political axe officials at all levels of the Republic of China, and all the officers and men of the army, navy and air force of the National Revolutionary Army, now I order you to resolutely refuse to accept all false orders from Sun Liren, and now I have authorized General Meng Xianwu, deputy commander of the military police of the Republic of China, to carry out a crusade against Sun Liren's rebel group, He has the right to mobilize all the armed forces of the Army, Navy, and Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army on the inner border of Taiwan Island to encircle and suppress Sun Liren's [***] traitorous clique. In this special period when the Republic of China is in internal and external troubles, our revolutionary comrades should put aside all hierarchical concepts and absolutely obey the leadership of General Meng Xianwu and obey his command."

Soon after the turmoil broke out in Taipei, the Kuomintang Military Police Headquarters continuously sent war reports to the headquarters of various branches of the Kuomintang and military regions to encircle and suppress Sun Liren's treasonous group: "The first detachment of the cadet corps of the Fourth Officer Training Class guarding the Taipei Ministry of National Defense has surrendered to the column directly under the Taipei Military Police under the leadership of Captain Chong Shude. "Sun Liren was arrested by the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the Military Police Column in the Ministry of National Defense. Sun has ordered his henchmen to lay down their arms and stop resisting." Although it is impossible to confirm the reliable surnames of these war reports issued by the Military Police Command, it is very obvious that these war reports issued by the Military Police Command have greatly shocked Taiwan. This kind of "psychological warfare" carried out by the gendarmerie command "turns nothing into existence, fiction into greatness, and hypothesis into truth"; It completely messed up the very fragile internal order of the army that Sun Liren had just established in Taiwan, and played a great role in breaking down the military morale of Sun Liren's camp. This cannot but be said of the cleverness of Meng Xianwu, the deputy commander of the gendarmerie who led the rebellion.

In the face of this erosive situation, Sun Liren felt powerless, and on the one hand, he ordered the cadets of the Fourth Officer Training Class, who were loyal to him, to resolutely resist the attack of the column directly under the gendarmerie. On the one hand, he hurriedly mobilized the 190th Division led by his old subordinates and rushed into the city of Taipei to reinforce him. On the morning of 28 September, after a night of fierce fighting, the Taiwan radio station, which had been occupied by the column directly under the gendarmerie, was recaptured. However, the columns directly under the Taipei Military Police Command and some units loyal to Chiang Kai-shek who joined one after another were still engaged in organized resistance in various districts of Taipei City. The two sides engaged in fierce street battles in Taipei City. The main gendarmerie directly subordinate column involved in the unrest, and later a small number of troops were involved under the orders of Meng Xianwu. Although they are not very numerous, only more than 10,000 people, they do not have too many offensive weapons. However, conventional weapons are indeed first-class US weapons and equipment, and they are special forces belonging to the Kuomintang army, and their combat effectiveness is still very tenacious. After Sun Liren came to power, he was very uneasy about the column directly under the Taipei Military Police Headquarters, which was a descendant of Chiang, and on the same day he drove them to the outskirts of Taipei City, and the cadet corps of the Fourth Officer Training Class took over their defense area. This is also one of the main reasons why the column directly under the gendarmerie was dissatisfied with Sun Liren and promoted this turmoil. With their familiarity with the terrain and features, they are able to strike at attacking opponents with agility. Every street and building in the downtown area of Taipei will cause great casualties to Sun Liren's cadet team of the Fourth Officer Training Class and the 190th Division.

The situation in Taiwan is extremely unstable due to the live broadcast speech made by Deputy Commander of the Military Police Meng Hsien-wu on the radio station, President Chiang Kai-shek's crusade against Sun Liren, and the constant sending of false news, as well as the large-scale armed turmoil that broke out in Taipei itself.

Faced with the chaotic situation in Taipei, Sun Liren ordered the surrounding troops to reinforce Taipei, but most of them, verbally agreed, but in fact they did not move. In the face of the confusing situation, who doesn't know who to listen to, whether Chiang Kai-shek is dead or not? It is difficult to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood of all kinds of news, who can joke with their own heads, and no one wants to bet easily. The best option to wait and see what happens. Faced with this precarious situation, Sun Liren had no idea at this time. He had to ask the PLA to urgently enter the island and participate in the counterinsurgency in Taipei. He ordered the 53rd Infantry Division, which was guarding the Chiayi area opposite Penghu Island, to withdraw to Tainan City; The 181st Infantry Division, which was stationed in Sihu Township, Xitai Township, and Dacheng Township, was ordered to withdraw to the defensive position of the former 190th Infantry Division in Taizhong. The 53rd Infantry Division and the 181st Infantry Division, seeing that Sun Liren kept himself away from the communist army and the front line, was also a great thing, so he immediately accepted the order to withdraw from the beachhead. Gave way to a 50-kilometer coastal defense beachhead for the PLA on Penghu Island.

After retaking Taipei's radio station, Sun Liren had no choice but to go to the Taiwan radio studio and condemn it in righteous words; at a time when the national crisis was at the head, the Kuomintang military police headquarters disregarded the interests of the country for the sake of its own selfish interests, and caused heavy losses to the lives and property of the people in Taipei, and called on all the people of Taiwan not to listen to rumors and to resolutely believe in and obey the leadership of the Taiwan Military Control Commission at a time when the national crisis was at the forefront. He called on all officers and men of the Kuomintang to rally closely around the Taiwan Military Control Commission, obey the command of all actions, and resolutely suppress the rebels.

Then the female announcer's delicate voice came out on the radio: "Now the Taiwan Military Control Commission signed by General Sun Liren has issued a wanted warrant for Meng Xianwu, the former deputy commander of the military police, Meng Xianwu, male, born in the 5th year of the Republic of China, originally from, from Fenghua, Zhejiang, height, 1,7 meters, Ningbo accent. Long face, small eyes, figure-eight eyebrows, garlic nose, high cheekbones, thick lips and big mouth. The prisoner was the former deputy commander of the military police of the Republic of China

In the face of Sun Liren's request, our Guangdong-Fujian headquarters conducted in-depth research and decided to immediately raise troops to attack Taiwan.

In the early morning of September 28, the 1st Marine Division and the 1st Division of the 28th Army, after many days of careful organization and full preparation, quickly loaded men and equipment onto the ship. Start the sea crossing. In less than two hours, it crossed the 40 to 50 kilometers of the Penghu waterway, quickly completed the flooding formation, and then the tanks and marines rushed ashore and quickly occupied the beachhead evacuated by the Kuomintang, and after consolidating the beachhead, the 1st Marine Division immediately went north and advanced in the direction of Taichung. The 28th Army waved its division south and advanced towards Kaohsiung.
