Commander Hao Zhilin ran into the headquarters in embarrassment and shouted in panic: "Division, commander, report commander, second line of defense!" ”

"Brother-in-law!" The chief of staff grabbed Commander Lin's collar and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Oh no!" Regiment Commander Lin said, "Let the People's Liberation Army occupy it." ”

"You rice bucket!" Hao Pengju's chief of staff scolded angrily.

At this time, Hao Pengju, who was shrinking to one side, saw that his aunt was trembling with fright, so he comforted her and said, "Be calm." ”

"Hey, uh-huh......"

In fact, Hao Pengju himself had already panicked, and even peed through his pants after a closer look. He also gave an order to the chief of staff without knowing whether he was alive or dead: "Concentrate your fire on the second line of defense and retake the west gate......

Hao Wei's army rushed down frantically from Baitabu. Fang Xiao, Song Jiliu and his comrades blocked the attack. Xu Yunduo shouted loudly: "Turtle grandchildren, go back quickly, and tell the rebel Hao Pengju that none of you can leave." ”

Hao Zhipengju and the chief of staff personally went to the second line of defense to supervise the battle. Hao Pengju said: "Captain Lin, whoever dares to retreat, Lao Tzu wants his head." ”

"Yes!" Head Hao Yilin turned around and fired a gun and shouted, "Brothers! Charge! ”

Hao Wei's officers and soldiers rushed down from the headquarters like a tide.

Fang Xiao, Song Jiliu, Xu Yunduo and his comrades fiercely fired at the enemy who rushed down, and Hao Jun fell one by one. The enemy troops retreated in confusion to the center of Baitabu under the resistance of our firepower.

"If you run back, shoot on the spot!" Seeing his officers and soldiers fleeing back, Hao Yipeng frantically shouted to Commander Lin, "Rush for me, hurry, rush up!" But the rebel army was in disarray, did not listen to the command, and fled back.

Sun Lianguo swam across the Huaishu River with some officers and men of a battalion of our army, advanced rapidly, and advanced towards the second line of defense of Hao's department.

Song Jiliu led the team to attack the center of Baitabu - the headquarters of the counter-army. Aunt Hao Pengju's wife panicked and fled to a farmer's pigsty behind the headquarters to lie down, desperate. Song Jiliu and his comrades rushed into the small courtyard of the peasant household and surrounded Hao Pengju. Hao Peng was like a lost dog, so he had to obediently raise his hand and surrender.

Under the command of regiment commander Ruan Xianbang and political commissar Li Qingquan, the 10th Regiment of Huaye 2nd Column of our People's Liberation Army was the first to attack the Hao headquarters in Baitabu. Finished! ”

It is very strange that Hao Pengju once telegraphed Xuzhou to ask for help, but the enemy always ignored Hao Pengju and pushed towards Linyi in a clinging group.

In addition, the Huaye Second Column was composed of Luo Binghui, Peng Xuefeng, and Zhang Aiping of the New Fourth Army, which was capable of fighting habitually, and galloped east from Tancheng on the night of 3 February, braving the wind and snow and severe cold, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th divisions under its jurisdiction arrived at the predetermined position on the 5th, and suddenly launched a general attack against the Hao rebellion on the evening of 6th. Many soldiers in Haobu have received preferential treatment from our party's education and laid down their arms under our fierce offensive. During the day of the 7th, Hao led the dead party to hold on to Baitabu and launched a counterattack.

Since the Central Military Commission approved Huaye's abandonment of Linyi and concentrated his forces on Laiwu to annihilate Li Xianzhou, he demanded a quick battle and a quick decision in the second column, and a quick withdrawal. If you can't beat Baitabu, you won't fight; Within seven days, troops must be moved north, and its four divisions (division commander Zhu Shaoqing, political commissar Gao Zhirong; The division was a division of the old Red Army, that is, the 61st Division of a certain group army) adjusted its strength and firepower, and bravely interspersed with roundabout assaults at dusk.

In the face of the powerful offensive of our PLA, the officers and men of the Hao Department in Baitabu, where the headquarters of the Hao Army is located, have lost their will to fight, and they have disarmed and surrendered one after another, and our army has been annihilated cleanly. Hao's two divisions and one military headquarters totaled more than 6,000 people. Hao Pengju was also captured alive by me at Baozhuang's residence, and he got the end he deserved.

In this battle, the Second Column annihilated the headquarters of the enemy's group army and two divisions, and captured Hao Pengju, his chief of staff Liu Boyang, and division commander Li Tiemin. On the night of the 7th, the second column went north to the Laiwu battlefield. Except for those who can take away the captured and captured weapons, all of them will be handed over to the local armed forces of the Coastal Garrison Regiment for receiving.

Wei Guoqing led a large group of people to Hao Yipengju in front of the headquarters and joined Fang Xiao, Song Jiliu and comrades in victory. Wei Guoqing spoke to the soldiers in high spirits: "Comrades, you have worked hard, thank you for your strong support!" In addition, I told Dakong the good news that Hao Wei's rebels in Pomegranate Tree, Xiangzhuang Lake, Hump, Lulanling and other places were also wiped out by our army without exception. "Now I congratulate you on your victory, and the beautiful Baitabu is back in the arms of the people."

The red flag fluttered over the White Tower, and the soldiers cheered for the victory of rebellion, and the glory belonged to the righteous people and the brave and witty warriors of the martial arts team.

After Hao Pengju was captured, he knew that he was guilty and asked to see Commander Chen many times. On February 13, 1947, Hao Pengju was escorted to the front of Linyi River Village Huaye Qianzhi, and Chen Yi was given an audience.

When Hao Pengju saw Commander Chen, he said: "I'm very sorry for the people, I'm sorry for the commander." I can see the military commander, although I have no regrets in death, I wonder if the military commander can forgive me? ”

Commander Chen said, "Please sit down and speak slowly." Hao was at a loss at this time, feeling ashamed, and tears came out of his eyes.

Chen Yi asked: "Have you been to Xuzhou and seen Chen Cheng?" ”

"I went to Xuzhou, met Chen Cheng, and talked for two hours."

"See Chiang Kai-shek?"

"Nope."

"What are you talking about with Chen Cheng?"

"Talking about the war situation, Xue Yue is also here."

"What do Chen Cheng and Xue Yue think about the battle situation?"

"Chen Cheng said that Chiang Kai-shek's edict that the Battle of Shandong was the key to success or failure, and asked me to lead my troops to participate."

"Do they have faith?"

"I don't think their confidence is enough, so they take a steady approach, and the troops are afraid that the flanks will be exposed and the rear roads will be cut off. And there have been too many failures in the past six months, so they have no confidence, and they all know that even if they enter Linyi, they still can't solve the problem. ”

"Could it be that if you are asked to be the commander of the Lunan appeasement, do you have confidence?"

Hao Pengju sighed: "Chen Cheng said to me that the number of the 42nd Group Army is just a call, because of the reorganization, the number of the regiment and army in the theater has been cancelled, and I am only commanded in the name of the Lunan Appeasement Division." I knew I had been fooled. Chen Cheng and Jiang Yue just wanted me to be in Lunan with a lonely and weak army. I asked for a post-retraining and they didn't agree. I can't mention it too much. ”

Chen Yi asked, "How is Chen Cheng and Jiang Yue's replenishment of your troops?" ”

Hao Pengju replied with a long sigh: "After I returned to my headquarters from Xuzhou via Haizhou on January 29: 1. Our troops are not allowed to enter Haizhou City; Second, immediately take over the defense of Baita Port and take on the task of attacking and suppressing; Third, the troops did not receive funds, and only a part of Duan Linmao's 57th Division Commander's Headquarters stationed in Haizhou was temporarily borrowed, but it was not enough, and the withdrawal procedures were too complicated. If you can't get the money, you can change it to lead the rice, and whether you can count the pounds of rice, the actual rice is only 134 catties per bag, but it is still counted as 200 catties. ”

"What benefits did you get by voting for the Kuomintang?"

"Nothing was given, so the troops were not well fed. I can't talk about eating cigarettes or wearing shoes. Thinking that in the past year, we have no worries about food and clothing in the liberated areas, we are satisfied with everything, the procedures for receiving money are simple, and the treatment is better than that of the troops of the Eighth Route Army of the New Fourth Army, and we are really very different from the Kuomintang in treating us. Therefore, the officers and men of the army were not satisfied with my behavior of defecting to Chiang. On the evening of 6 February, when the Second Column suddenly attacked, the troops quickly laid down their arms. This time I received it myself. ”

When Chen Yi met Hao Pengju, he reviewed the process of patiently educating Hao and Hao himself in the past year to save benevolence and righteousness, and Hao nodded frequently and said: "Whether it is the party, government, military and people in the liberated areas, the ** Central Committee and the military commander himself, they have always cared for and cared for us, it is a fact!" ”

Mr. Chen solemnly pointed out: "But you are disobedient and dare to participate in the front-line offensive in early February, and I will send troops to meet you at this time and catch you day and night." Chen Yi was excited: "I'm here to tell you clearly, I expected you to drag away the troops against the water." After being dragged away, if you dare to fight back, you will be quickly arrested and punished, and it has been predicted! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen Yi paused for a moment and emphasized in a thick Sichuan dialect: "I can also tell you that when you dragged away the troops, you actually hunted down and killed the liaison personnel I sent, which was beyond my Chen Yi's expectations. For I did not expect that you, a man of no conscience, would be so bad! ”

Hao Pengju leaned over and sighed and replied: "As for the matter of catching and killing the liaison cadres sent by the military commander before leaving, it is completely an animal act. I don't know, it was my subordinates who did it, I can't restrain my subordinates, I deserve death! ”

Chen Yi instructed: "It took only 11 days from the time you defected to the time you were captured, which proves that you must have the spirit of self-sacrifice to serve the people in the cause of democracy, and anyone who opportunists will be ruined." You are an example of this. Second, it proves that a centralized warlord army can never undertake the task of a great democratic revolution without thorough transformation; Third, from US imperialism to Chiang Kai-shek and you Hao Pengju, they are all decadent forces, while the Chinese people are famous and powerful in self-defense based on patriotism and justice. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"The above lessons are useful to anyone, and I am afraid that they will have the greatest effect on Mei Jiang and you. Your sins are so great that the people should take care of them. However, if you still have room for forgiveness, the Party and the people will certainly allow it to be considered. I'll send you to the rear now. Commander Chen said.

Hao Pengju bowed his head and was silent. Chen Yi was still angry, and wrote the poem "Shehao Pengju":

Teach you to be a man, not a man, and teach you not to be a dog.

Now he is captured in Seoul, and he is still teaching himself to divide people and dogs.

Hao Pengju was shot dead by Song Jiliu in the later escape!
