In December 1973, commanders of the eight military regions were transferred. At that time, Wang Hongwengang was appointed vice chairman of the Central Committee. Chairman Mao specially asked him to name the name in order to cultivate his prestige. Wang Hongwen is no stranger to name a name. He often attended meetings during his tenure in Shanghai and also named it many times. Therefore, he thought there was no difference this time, so he stood up carelessly, picked up the roster and started to name the name, and the first one was called Xu Shiyou. Xu Shiyou had originally disliked Wang Hongwen because he had no qualifications and no military achievements, and he was promoted entirely by rockets.

Now he saw Wang Hongwen pretending to be powerful, and he was very angry, so he embarrassed him in public. Although Xu Shiyou couldn't stand Wang Hongwen, two years ago, Wang Hongwen helped Xu Shiyou a great favor when arresting Wang Weiguo, the political commissar of the Air Force. Wang Weiguo was from the Yuan family in Hebei. He began to accept progressive ideas while studying in a normal school and thus embarked on the revolutionary path. In 1938, Wang Weiguo joined the Communist Party and joined the local guerrillas. Two years later, 21-year-old Wang Weiguo became an Eighth Route Army soldier and came to Taihang Military Region to work and fight.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Weiguo participated in the War of Liberation and accumulated military achievements and became a regiment-level cadre. Shortly after the founding of New China, he was transferred to work in the Air Force. After the Cultural Revolution began, Lin Liguo took over the Air Force's power, and Wang Weiguo also surrendered to Lin Liguo at this time. Relying on the promotion of the Lin family, Wang Weiguo was promoted to the first political commissar of the Air Force in 1969, and a year later he became the deputy director of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee. During Chairman Mao's southern tour, Lin Liguo convened his troops to try to be unfavorable to Chairman Mao, and Wang Weiguo also participated in the conspiracy.

After the "September 13 Incident", Chairman Mao called Xu Shiyou into Beijing and explained his mission to him in person, so that he could deal with the "Three Kingdoms and Four Sides" issue as soon as possible. The so-called "Three Kingdoms" refer to Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou; the so-called "Four Directions" refer to Jiang Tengjiao, deputy director of the Beijing Air Force Political Department, Wang Weiguo, political commissar of the Shanghai Air Force Fourth Army, Chen Liyun, political commissar of the Hangzhou Air Force Fifth Army, and Zhou Jianping, deputy commander of the Nanjing Air Force. In addition, Chairman Mao also specifically told Xu Shiyou: When arresting Wang Weiguo, the political commissar of the Air Force 4th Army, you should rely more on Wang Hongwen. Why is this?

Because at that time, Wang Weiguo was not only the political commissar of the Air 4th Army, but also the deputy director of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee, in charge of politics, law and public security. He has been in Shanghai for many years and has a group of best friends under his command. If he is forcibly arrested by force, it may cause some unexpected situations. Wang Hongwen was also the deputy director of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee at that time. He had a good relationship with Wang Weiguo. Then Chairman Mao told Xu Shiyou to rely more on Wang Hongwen when arresting Wang Weiguo. Because Xu Shiyou had to deal with too many things at that time, he called Xiao Yongyin over and said to him: "I have a lot of things, and I have to select to select cadres, organize a working group to go to the South Air, the Air Force, and the Air Force. I can't get out of Shanghai for a while, so you can carry out the mission!"

After Xiao Yongyin came to Shanghai, he discussed with Wang Hongwen and decided to use the method of "leading the snake out of the hole" to lure Wang Weiguo out of the hole. Wang Hongwen proposed three venues for Xiao Yongyin to choose from, one is Yan'an Hotel, one is Kangban, and the other is Jinjiang Hotel . At that time, the Yan'an Hotel was in the Nanjing Military Region scope. It was easy for Wang Weiguo to come here to have a meeting. Kang Office was the office location of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee at that time. Wang Weiguo was in charge of politics and law, and many of the guards here were his people, so it was obviously not appropriate to arrest him here.

In the end, Xiao Yongyin selected the meeting location at Jinjiang Hotel. In the afternoon of the same day, in the conference room on the 10th floor of Jinjiang Hotel, Xiao Yongyin convened Wang Hongwen, Ma Tianshui and the main leaders of Shanghai Garrison District for a meeting. He said in a serious tone: "Chairman Mao ordered us to arrest Wang Weiguo. This is an important political task. In my opinion, Deputy Director Wang will lead the snake out of the hole. The specific approach is that Deputy Director Wang will call Wang Weiguo and ask him to come here to read the central documents."

Considering that Wang Weiguo has been in the army for many years and is very vigilant, in order to prevent unexpected situations, Xiao Yongyin also formulated an emergency plan. He ordered the commander of Shanghai Garrison District Zhou Chunlin to transfer the troops of two divisions into the city. If Wang Weiguo did not come for a meeting, he would forcibly arrest him.After everything was ready, Xiao Yongyin signaled Wang Hongwen to call Wang Weiguo. Wang Hongwen quickly called the Air Force 4 and said with a smile: "Is it Political Commissar Wang? I am Hongwen. Are you in good health recently?" Wang Weiguo said: "Thank you for your concern. My health is careless. Do you have something to do when you call me?"

"I dare not take care of you if you have something to do. You are in charge of public security and politics, and the burden is already very heavy." Wang Hongwen answered, looking at Xiao Yongyin, and then He said casually, "That's right. The General Office of the Central Committee sent a document. There are too many party, government and military organs in Shanghai, so there is only one document. Come and take a look." Unexpectedly, Wang Weiguo refused. He said to Wang Hongwen: "I have something to do now, so just tell me the content on the phone."

Wang Hongwen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. He smiled and said, "Political Commissar Wang, it's not that I refuse to tell you on the phone. Although the content is not much, it is very confidential and it is not suitable to communicate on the phone. Please come here. There are not many documents and you can finish reading it in a few minutes. And Mr. Ma (Ma Tianshui) is also here, and everyone is taking the opportunity to get together." Wang Hongwen's reason is very sufficient, and Wang Weiguo finally agreed. Not long after, he took a bus to Jinjiang Hotel and went directly to the conference room on the 10th floor.

As soon as he entered the door, several guards came up and controlled him. Then Xiao Yongyin announced the order to arrest him. With the cooperation of Wang Hongwen, Wang Weiguo was finally arrested without a single shot or bullet. Wang Weiguo was later quarantined and investigated, expelled from the party and military , and sentenced to 414 years in prison for . After being released from prison after his sentence, Wang Weiguo came to live in Handan, Hebei Province. He died of illness in 1993 at the age of 74.
