Chapter 150: The Crowd is Passionate

"Comrades," Wei Guoqing continued, "I think I'll take advantage of this opportunity to pull out this nail!" He paused, looked at Chen Shiyu, Gu Mu and Song Jiliu, who was specially invited to attend, and then turned his face to look at Chen Yi and said, "Commander Chen, in the past few months, our Huaye Second Column has been engaged in large-scale military training, and seeing the brother detachment attacking and winning battles every day, it makes people really greedy."

"Hehe," Chief of Staff Chen Shiyu said with a smile, "Our General Wei is here, everyone applauds and welcomes,"

"......" thunderous applause,

"Don't, don't," Wei Guoqing said, "Right now, the cadres and soldiers are very high-spirited, so hand over the main attack task of this battle to our second column, if Hao Pengju can't touch that kid, I promise to screw his ears to meet everyone,"

Song Jiliu couldn't wipe the fire, and rushed out: "I'll take a few people to bring it out of the kennel now, and see if he still has the ability to come up with a ghost idea of rebellion,"

"What's the use of catching him, almost all of his subordinates are his sworn friends, so this battle must be fought," Chen Yi's tone was even more firm, "Since you want to fight, you have to fight to a higher level, how are the comrades prepared?"

"It's all ready, please rest assured, commander," everyone replied in unison,

"Okay," Chen Yi said with a smile, "The past few days that Hao Pengju left us have not been in vain, he informed us in advance, it seems that he has miscalculated, he thinks that he has deceived us, but we are calculating,"

Zhang Yunyi looked at Chen Yi and asked eagerly: "Commander, it's basically ready, just waiting for your words, when will you act?"

Chen Yi glanced at everyone and said calmly and decisively: "Without further ado, it's tonight,"

Tonight, "the cadres, despite their ideological preparations, could not help but be surprised by this bold and decisive decision.

"Tonight," Chen Yi said categorically, "I promised in Xu Banzhuang to attack the Kuomintang reactionaries in the East China Sea in seven days, but it was just a delaying tactic, to beware of what tricks Hao Pengju wanted, and that was it, I am afraid it would be difficult to completely hide from this old fox, in order to strive for the initiative and prevent them from disrupting our established deployment, we must rush ahead of Hao Pengju and take him by surprise."

"Okay, that's it," Zhang Yunyi, the first deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, said, patting the table, he glanced at everyone and said, "Because Hao Pengju's anti-people nature is difficult to change, he began to collude with Chiang Kai-shek before and after the fall of Lianghuai in September and October last year, and on April 3, the Kuomintang openly sent planes to distribute leaflets to lure Hao Pengju to surrender, and Hao secretly contacted Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng, and Xue Yue."

"That's what happened," Gu Mu said, "and in order to confuse the public and deceive the world, Hao used his duplicitous counter-revolutionary tricks; on the one hand, he took advantage of the first anniversary of the uprising to publish an article, send a telegram, and deliver a speech on January 9 this year, touting 'opposing the civil war and supporting democracy,' and on the other hand, he sent his cronies to Xuzhou to have a secret talk with Chen Cheng, and then personally went to Xuzhou and Nanjing to flatter Chiang."

"This guy is really a chameleon," Chen Shiyu said, "Hao took ** anti-people as a condition, in exchange for Chiang Kai-shek's heavy responsibility, in order to cover the transfer of troops to plan a mutiny, Hao and Jiang Jun staged a 'Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai' ugly drama, heaven, Hao attacked Zhao Wei's stronghold with two battalions of the seventh regiment of the third division, and then gradually moved the troops south,"

"It's really hateful, it's already to the point where you can't solve the people's hatred if you don't kill it," Gu Mu, director of the United Front Work Department of the Shandong Military Region and secretary of the Xinhailian Special Committee, continued, and then he nodded to Chen Yi, Chen Shiyu, and Zhang Yunyi and continued, "Yesterday (the fourth day of the first month of the old calendar) night, Hao Pengju's troops stationed in Banzhuang in the western part of Ganyu County, in the area of Huandunbu, openly rebelled,"

"It's really not a thing," said Zhu Mingyuan, the magistrate of Ganyu Democratic County, "on the same day, Chen Jianbo, head of the county civil affairs section, held a meeting of the district party committee in Dongjingbu, Zhumeng District, and was blocked and monitored by Hao's troops, and wanted to take away the cadres of the meeting.

"Not only that, Hao also carried out a comprehensive martial law on his defense area yesterday evening, and in the middle of the night, his guard troops surrounded the residence of political commissar Zhu Kejing, first killed Zhu Kejing's guards, and then kidnapped Zhu Kejingqiang and escorted him to Nanjing, and then, Hao Pengju led his troops south to the East China Sea, invaded and occupied Huhuhu, Hump, Baitabu and other places, and successively sent troops to Pomegranate Tree and Liu Wan to attack the Donghai County Government in order to ask Chiang Kai-shek for credit," Chen Shiyu said angrily.

"Chiefs and comrades," said Meng Ying, deputy political commissar of the Third Division of the Luzhong Military Region and later deputy political commissar of the Third East China Garrison Brigade, "Commander Chen Yi has long been aware of Hao Pengju's defection, and has truly done his best to be benevolent and righteous to Hao and his subordinates.

"Well said," Chen Shiyu continued, "After Hao's open rebellion, Commander Chen Yi still warned Hao Pengju and the officers and men of the 'Democratic Alliance' to quickly stay away from the battlefield of the civil war and not attack the liberated areas, but all this did not make Hao wake up, and Hao Pengju made his mind faint, and after the open rebellion, he went so frantically to hunt down and kill the liaison personnel sent by our army, and went to the front line to attack our liberated areas, thus embarking on the road of self-destruction."

On the night of February 56, 1947, Wei Guoqing, in accordance with the requirements of Chen Yi, Chen Shiyu, and Zhang Yunyi, ordered the troops to be stationed around Xu Banzhuang and stand by, and then he said to Song Jiliu: "Comrade Song, you are a local and are very familiar with the various situations here, so I have no choice but to ask you and Comrade Fang Xiao to immediately take the members of the armed engineering team to Haobu for reconnaissance," Song Jiliu saluted Wei Guoqing, and then led the scouts temporarily served by the armed engineering team members to set off.

Song Jiliu and Fang Xiao led scouts Xu Yunduo, Xue Ting, Xiang Xiaodun, Xiang Erli, Peng Dashu, Xiang Xiaozhan, Sun Lianshe, and Gao Zhonghua to reconnoiter in the southwest of Ganyu.

At this time, Song Jiliu carefully observed the terrain with a telescope, and Qi Wanhong made a reconnaissance record, Song Jiliu said: "Write it down, there is a large cemetery in the southwest area of Baitabu, which is a hundred-year-old forest surrounded by deep trenches around it, with more than 100 acres of land."

Song Jiliu continued to observe the terrain, pointed to this special area and said: "There are wide and deep ditches on three sides, and there is only one gate to enter the big forest by the Huaimu River on one side, and the troops attack: it must be difficult......

Hao Pengju came to the big forest to observe the fortifications, and he said to the chief of staff arrogantly: "Don't look at the ** occupy Ganyu County and Qingkou and other important towns, but if they want to beat my idea, they will have to break their heads,"

"Okay," said the chief of staff with a smile on his face, "they can't find the heavy artillery wow, hahahaha,......"

Hao Pengju, the chief of staff came in from the gate of the woods, the commander of the first division immediately ordered someone to close the gate, and put down the drawbridge, Hao Pengju said proudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the trenches around here are more than ten meters wide and five or six meters deep."

Hao Pengju walked to the fortifications of the first division and one regiment, and said to his officers and soldiers: "Our artillery has an extremely long range, and the power is even greater, and it can completely block the enemy's attack within 30 miles.

"Brother regiment commander," Hao Pengju said to a regiment commander, "I will give you the heavy responsibility of holding on here, and guarding it means guarding our army, do you understand?

"Thank you Mr. Hao for your concern," the head of the regiment replied respectfully, "I swear to die for the commander-in-chief,"

"Okay," Hao Pengju asked the regiment leader, "how are you going to defend my base camp?"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, before ** get close to me, I will wipe them out ten miles away from Baitabu," the commander of the regiment said to a standing officer,
