In March 1928, Huang Gonglue, who was about to graduate from the senior class of Whampoa Military Academy, received a letter from his friend Peng Dehuai. The letter invited him to return to work in the old army after graduation, and said that he had obtained the consent of the division commander Zhou Pan to run a school with the camp. Huang Gonglue reported the situation to the organization and received its approval.
In mid-March, members of Huang Gonglue's collaborative organization, Huang Chunyi, and He Guozhong, arrived at Nan County, where the 1st Regiment of the Independent 5th Division was stationed. Huang Gonglue arranged for the two accompanying comrades to stay in the hotel and went to see Peng Dehuai alone.
Peng Dehuai during the Hunan Army
After the guards reported, Peng Dehuai, who had been promoted to regiment leader, hurried out to greet him. I am extremely happy to meet old friends who have been separated for more than a year. Peng Dehuai called party members Deng Ping, Li Li, Li Can, and Zhang Rongsheng from the 1st regiment to accompany him, and they had a good chat. But at this time, Peng Dehuai did not know that Huang Gonglue had joined the organization at the end of 1927, and Huang Gonglue did not know that several people present were members of the organization.
After the greetings, several people talked about preparations for the camp school. Peng Dehuai said that the principal is concurrently served by the teacher Zhou Pan, and Huang Gonglue is the vice principal. However, Mr. Zhou was only in name, and Huang Gonglue was actually in charge. The textbook is based on the textbook of Hunan Jiangwu Hall and is being reprinted.
Deng Ping
When it comes to the school charter, one of them is to defeat the new warlords. Huang Gonglue asked: "Who does the new warlord refer to?" Peng Dehuai replied: "Of course it refers to the Chiang clan." Huang Gonglue pretended to be furious when he heard this, and kept saying, "What about our principal..." Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Huang Gonglue and everyone were of the same mind, but they did not expect that he had been domesticated by the Chiang clan in Huangpu for more than a year. Now that he knows everyone's secret, this person cannot be kept.
Peng Dehuai lowered his face and said: "Gonglue, we have been friends for many years. In the past, you said how you thought about the revolutionary cause, but now you have reversed it. From now on, you can follow the man named Jiang on your Yangguan Avenue!"
While talking, Zhang Rongsheng and Li Li each took a towel and quietly walked around behind Huang Gonglue. The two men suddenly took action. One put a towel around his neck and pulled hard, and the other covered his mouth with a towel. Huang Gonglue's face immediately turned white. Li Li and Zhang Rongsheng both said they would strangle him and throw him into the river at night to destroy his traces.
Huang Gonglue
Huang Gonglue was speechless and could only struggle and point to the heel of his leather shoe. His move was noticed by Deng Ping. Deng Ping told Li and Zhang to relax a little and let him vent his anger. He couldn't run away anyway. Deng Ping took off Huang Gonglue's leather shoes, opened them and found a letter of introduction from Guangdong Provincial Committee . Peng Dehuai was shocked when he saw it, and quickly asked Li and Zhang to let go of Huang Gonglue.
After half an hour, Huang Gonglue recovered. Peng Dehuai scolded him and said, "Gonglue, what are you doing? You almost died for making such a big joke." Huang Gonglue smiled bitterly and said, "You are now the regiment leader, who knows whether you are a real revolutionary or a fake revolutionary?" The misunderstanding was resolved, Huang Gonglue asked Peng Dehuai to send someone to the hotel to bring Huang Chunyi and He Guozhong to the regiment headquarters.
Soon after, the Independent 5th Division School was established in Nan County. At the opening ceremony, division commander Zhou Pan announced Huang Gonglue as the vice principal, He Guozhong as the education chief, and Huang Chunyi as the brigade captain. After that, they never appeared in the school again.
He Guozhong
After the opening of the Suiying School, the Nan (County) Hua (Rong) An (Township) Special Committee instructed Peng, Huang and others to cultivate and develop revolutionary forces through the Suiying School, and strive to launch a division-wide uprising with the 1st Regiment as the core within two years.
Huang Gonglue stayed at Suiying School for a short time. Before the first batch of students graduated, the 5th Independent Division was ordered to Pingjiang. The commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment was dismissed due to corruption. Commander Zhou transferred Huang Gonglue to take over, and the education director of the camp school, He Guozhong, was in charge.
In mid-June 1928, in addition to the camp school, the entire 5th Independent Division arrived in Pingjiang one after another. Peng Dehuai's 1st Regiment was stationed in the county seat and the south of the city, and Huang Gonglue's 3rd Regiment 3rd Battalion was stationed in Chiayi Town, Dongxiang, more than 60 miles away from the county seat.
Liu Jiren, the leader of the 3rd regiment where Huang Gonglue belonged, was very reactionary. Huang Gonglue, who parachuted into the 3rd Battalion, took out his own money and distributed it to the soldiers in order to quickly gain a foothold.At this time, the 5th Independent Division was in arrears with pay for 5 months. The soldiers were very happy and said that the new battalion commander was good.
Just when Huang Gonglue's work in the 3rd Battalion began to bear fruit, something unexpected happened. On July 18, the Nanhua'an Special Committee was uncovered, and the passes Huang Gonglue issued to comrades of the Nanhua'an Special Committee in Nan County were also seized. Zhou Pan, the commander of the 5th Independent Division in Changsha, sent a message to Li Huigen, the deputy commander in Pingjiang, and ordered him to immediately arrest Huang Gonglue, Huang Chunyi, and He Guozhong.
This incident was noticed by Chen Yucheng, a member of the underground organization who was lurking around Zhou Pan as Ma Bian, and immediately informed Peng Dehuai via secret message. Peng Dehuai quickly rushed to the telegraph office and seized the telegram from Zhou Pan to Li Huigen.
Teng Daiyuan
The situation was urgent. Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan, the provincial committee commissioner in Pingjiang, immediately convened a meeting of organizational members of the 1st Regiment to discuss countermeasures. Time was running out, and an armed uprising was scheduled for July 22 to establish the 5th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. He also sent someone to inform Huang Gonglue, who was in Chiayi, about the uprising at the same time, and then marched to Pingjiang to join forces; he sent someone to inform He Guozhong, who led the camp school to leave Yueyang and come to Pingjiang to participate in the uprising.
In order to stabilize Zhou Pan, Peng Dehuai called back in the name of Li Huigen: "The three people have been arrested in compliance with the order and have been ordered to come to Pingjiang with the school."
At this time, Huang Gonglue's activities in the 3rd Battalion had aroused the suspicion of the regiment leader Liu Jiren. On July 20, Huang Gonglue quietly released Huang Yaonan, a Red Guard member who was imprisoned in the township government. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Liu Jiren's nephew, who was the company commander of the 3rd Battalion.
Huang Gonglue thought that he had been exposed, so he decided to revolt in advance. On the afternoon of July 21, Huang Gonglue launched a mutiny among the entire battalion of soldiers in the name of raising wages, and killed Liu Renji's nephew and another reactionary company commander on the spot. The leader of the local door-to-door group was shot and all the guns of the door-to-door group were seized.
immediately contacted the local district committee, and the district committee appointed someone to lead the way, detouring around Zhoufang, Enxi, Zhongdong to meet Peng Dehuai in Pingjiang.
Huang Gonglue was worried that bringing the troops into the city at this time would cause misunderstandings, so he placed the troops in a small town 5 miles north of the city to rest, and rode into the city alone to report to Peng Dehuai. Unexpectedly, not long after he left, the 3rd Battalion defected at the instigation of the reactionary company commander He Zhongbin.
Huang Gonglue was furious after hearing the news and immediately went to chase him, but was dissuaded by Peng Dehuai. That evening, Huang Gonglue made a profound review at the Youth League Party Committee. He deeply realized that when the army has not been consolidated, the main leaders of the uprising must not easily leave the army.
On the afternoon of July 24, a meeting to celebrate the victory of the Pingjiang Uprising was held in Pingjiang City with tens of thousands of people attending. At the meeting, the establishment of the 5th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was officially announced. Peng Dehuai was appointed as the army commander and the commander of the 13th Division, and Teng Daiyuan was appointed as the military party representative and division party representative. The 13th Division has a total of more than 2,500 people and governs the 1st, 4th, and 7th regiments. Huang Gonglue was appointed as the party representative of the 4th regiment.
The 5th Red Army originally planned to take Pingjiang as the center and strive to build a revolutionary base in the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Border Region in a short period of time. However, under the crazy "encirclement and suppression" of the superior enemy, the troops suffered heavy losses and were seriously short of supplies, so they had to find another strategy.
In October 1928, the severely attrited 5th Red Army was reduced to three columns, with Huang Gonglue as the captain of the second column. Soon, Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan led the 1st and 3rd columns to break through the enemy's encirclement and went up to Jinggangshan to join forces with the Red Army led by Zhu and Mao; only Huang Gonglue's second column was left to persist in guerrilla warfare in the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi border area.
