In the spring of 1949, outside the beautiful town of Fenghua Xikou in Zhejiang Province, a Kuomintang unit suddenly appeared, which belonged to the Third Appeasement Corps of the Ministry of National Defense, headed by Fang Buzhou, deputy commander of the Third Appeasement Corps and captain of the Sixth Brigade.
This time, Fang Buzhou was carrying out a vigilance task outside the mouth of the creek.
At this time, the old Chiang Kai-shek had already "gone down into the wilderness", the blade of the People's Liberation Army was pointing directly at Nanjing, and Chiang Ching-kuo had transferred this unit for a simple purpose - to protect Chiang Kai-shek who had retreated to his hometown of Fenghua Xikou.
Later, with chiang's approval, the Kuomintang authorities finally selected the Third Appeasement Corps of the Ministry of National Defense as the "Qinwang Division."
But who could have predicted that this carefully selected and absolutely reliable "personal guard" would soon defect to the uprising and almost capture the Father and Son of the Chiang family alive, and it was Fang Buzhou, deputy commander of the Kuomintang Third Appeasement Corps, who took the lead in the uprising.
Fang Buzhou's identity and experience are very special, he is a Hubei Daye people, he joined the CCP organization in 1927, and he is also one of the founders of the Southeast Hubei Soviet District.
According to the recollections of the senior generals of our army who were familiar with the Ark, the Ark was both military, political, and civil and military, and it had a strategic strategy in combat and a great boldness; at that time, it had a high prestige among the masses and the Red Army.
When he was appointed commander of the Sixteenth Division of the Red Army, Fang Buzhou suffered a heavy setback because of his miscalculation of the enemy's situation, and was severely criticized by his superiors, and he was also dismissed from the post of division commander.
Fang Buzhou repeatedly stressed that the responsibility for the defeat of the war was not his own, and in the end he simply made a big fuss and did not obey the handling, so he was criticized more severely and expelled from the party.
Just when Fang Buzhou was full of complaints and depressed, "the roof leaked in the overnight rain", and Fang Buzhou's wife, who was pregnant with Liujia, was captured by the Kuomintang army and seriously injured.
The Kuomintang troops sent a letter of persuasion to Fang Buzhou, in which they threatened to interrupt treatment if they did not surrender, and even poisoned his wife.
Under these circumstances, Fang Buzhou tangled for half a day, and finally could not withstand the test, left the army with a gun and threw himself into the Kuomintang army.
After the defection, although Fang Buzhou made a request to the Kuomintang army not to do anything harmful to the Red Army, in fact, under the soft and hard bubble of the Kuomintang army, the Kuomintang army still obtained information from Fang Buzhou's words.
The Nationalist army once again attacked the Red Sixteenth Division, and after the first battle, the Red Sixteenth Division suffered heavy losses and heavy casualties, and finally only more than 200 people were left.
Affected by his rebellion, the activities of the Xiang'e-Gansu guerrilla zone once again fell into a low ebb, and Feng Yuyun, acting commander of the Red Sixteenth Division, and others also defected to the Kuomintang one after another, causing huge losses to our party organization.
After Fang Buzhou defected to the Kuomintang, he became a senator of the Kuomintang in Wuhan. In 1938, when the Japanese invading army advanced into Wuhan, Fang Buzhou returned to southeastErn Hubei again to reorganize the old department and organize anti-Japanese guerrillas.
After that, Fang Buzhou served as the commander of the Eighth Guerrilla Column in southern Hubei and the commander of the Appeasement Corps.
Because he refused to be transferred to Hengyang, Hunan Province, for rectification, Fang Buzhou was "willful" again, resigned from his position as commander, and returned to his hometown to lead his own team to continue to resist Japan.
During this time, Fang Buzhou did something that people could not understand, on the one hand, he had the intention of joining the New Fourth Army, but he had sporadic conflicts with the New Fourth Army;
To say that he was anti-communist, he tried every means to protect the CCP members in the team, and even caused a "prison disaster" in 1943, and was not released from prison until 1948.
It was at this moment that a man who had changed his destiny appeared.
Liu Peichu, the beloved general of the Jiang family's father and son, and Liu Peichu, commander of the National Defense Ministry's "Anti-Disorder and Nation-Building" mobilization corps and commander of the Third Appeasement Corps, found Fang Buzhou.
Liu Peichu and Fang Buzhou are fellow countrymen and classmates, he has always admired Fang Buzhou's military ability, this time back to Wuhan, Liu Peichu is to persuade Fang Buzhou to work with him.
Under the persuasion of Liu Peichu, Fang Buzhou and Liu Peichu returned to the army and became Liu Peichu's deputy, the deputy commander of the Appeasement Corps and the captain of the Sixth Brigade.
According to Chiang Ching-kuo's later account, he once reminded Liu Peichu that The Fang Buzhou was not simple and that he must be used cautiously.
But Liu Peichu vigorously defended Fang Buzhou and was willing to vouch for him. So, The Ark took office.
There were four command rooms under the Third Appeasement Corps, and the commanders of the four command rooms, Xiao Qi, Zhu Guobin, Liu Shaoyang, Xu Tian, and Guo Huanri, commander of the assault detachment, and Yang Jun, the commander of the first direct squadron, were all old colleagues or old subordinates of Fang Buzhou.
During this period, Fang Buzhou learned from Xu Tianyuan that as long as he sincerely opposed Chiang Kai-shek, the CCP would treat those who had made mistakes in the past leniently.
Fang Buzhou was immediately moved, and tried to get in touch with the CHINESE Communists and expressed his willingness to "go home."
Fang Buzhou quietly "won" several old subordinates over, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to revolt in Wuhan.
Unexpectedly, just when Fang Buzhou was ready and preparing for the uprising, Liu Peichu, the commander-in-chief, suddenly gave an order and ordered Fang Buzhou to lead the Sixth Brigade and other teams to fenghua, Zhejiang Province, to take on the responsibility of "King Qin".
Fang Buzhou had to cancel the uprising in Wuhan, and after the Spring Festival of 1949, the troops marched to Fenghua, Zhejiang.
After the troops were stationed at Xikou, Fang Buzhou had a new idea, that is, "capture the thief before capturing the king", and used his special identity to directly arrest the father and son of the Jiang family.
Fang Buzhou thought, "One does not do, the other does not stop", once he successfully captures the father and son of the Jiang family, it will definitely be earth-shattering.
Fang Buzhou also wanted to pass this incident and present an "apology gift" to the party organization, and this "homecoming" gift was heavy enough.
The uprising was scheduled to take place at dawn on April 23, but Ge Guohua, the second commander of the assault detachment, suddenly changed his mind and told Liu Peichu of Fang Buzhou's plan to prepare for the uprising.
Receiving the wind, Liu Peichu hurriedly led a large number of troops to suppress it.
The situation was extremely urgent, And Fang Buzhou had no choice but to abandon his original plan, and immediately decided to act immediately, and more than 800 insurrectionists revolted at Wangchun Bridge in Ningbo, Zhejiang.
On the way to the Simingshan Liberated Area, Fang Buzhou led his troops to retreat from the interception of Liu Peichu's troops, and braved the rain to reach Simingshan, Zhejiang, where they successfully rendezvoused with the Ccp's Simingshan guerrillas.
Soon after, this rebel force cooperated with the county squadron to capture Huang Gulin, the last Stronghold of Chiang Kai-shek's army in Yinxi, Zhejiang, and participated in the battle to liberate Shangyu and other places.
After the liberation of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, the Fang Buzhou Department was incorporated into the 22nd Army of the People's Liberation Army.
On the question of how to deal with Fang Buzhou, because Fang Bu's experience was too complicated, Wang Jian'an, Tan Qilong and other chiefs of the Seventh Corps of the People's Liberation Army were in difficulty.
Therefore, a copy of the materials on how to place the Ark was sent to Nanjing and handed over to The Commander of the Third Field Army, General Manager Chen.
After research, Mr. Chen wrote eight words on that material: "Fold the merits and sins, and do not blame the past." ”
The great mistake that was made at the beginning, and now the lost Ark has finally been forgiven.
In 1950, Fang Buzhou was assigned to a farm in Nanjing as the deputy director, and in 1990, Mr. Fang Buzhou, who had a rough life and experienced twists and turns, died in Nanjing.
