Hao Pengju studied at the Henan Provincial Fourth Normal School in Luoyang in his early years, and in the Republic of China period, he could be regarded as an intellectual, but he did not have the backbone of an intellectual. In 1920, he joined Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, starting with the commanders, and was appreciated by Feng Yuxiang for his shrewdness and resourcefulness. In 1925, Feng Yuxiang sent him to the Soviet Union to study artillery command, and then returned to China to join the Wuyuan Oath Division to prevent the Feng army from going south. He was promoted by Feng Yuxiang and served as the commander of the artillery regiment and the chief of staff of the army, and became a close associate of General Feng Yuxiang.
In 1930, when feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan jointly opposed Chiang Kai-shek's Central Plains War broke out, Feng Jun was in a disadvantageous position on the battlefield and was in need of the general's strength, but Hao Pengju betrayed Feng Yuxiang, who treated him with great kindness, and counterattacked, leading his troops to fall to Chiang Kai-shek and dealing a heavy blow to Feng Yuxiang.
In 1937, Chiang Kai-shek arranged for Hao Peng to be promoted to the unit of Hu Zongnan, commander of the First Theater of Operations, as an aide-de-camp to a lieutenant colonel. He was later promoted to the rank of major general of the Xi'an Branch of the Central Military Academy. Because he was not from the Huangpu clan, he could not get hu Zongnan's trust, and because of the "peach color incident", he was arrested by Hu Zongnan and imprisoned, and later, Hao Pengju bribed the guards to escape.

When the War of Resistance Broke Out, he defected to Wang Jingwei and became a traitor
In March 1940, Wang Jingwei publicly surrendered to Japan and established a puppet nationalist government in Nanjing. In order to gain the high-ranking official Houlu, Hao Pengju wrote a letter to Wang, expressing his support for his proposal for peaceful national salvation. Wang Jingwei was overjoyed, and he urgently needed a group of people who were working for him, so he accepted Hao Pengju.
In February 1942, Wang Jingwei appointed Hao Pengju as the chief counselor of the pseudo-military attaché office, and on January 13, 1944, the wang puppet government established "Huaihai Province" and appointed Hao Pengju as the governor and commander of the security and the director of the Xuzhou Appeasement Office.
Hao Pengju recruited 4 armies and more than 70,000 troops, actively opposed communism, and confronted the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. He actively assisted the Japanese army in sweeping up the base areas, massacring anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and committing heinous crimes.
The great traitor Wang Jingwei
In 1944, the general trend of the Japanese army had gone, and Hao Pengju threw himself at Chiang Kai-shek for the second time
On November 10, 1944, Wang Jingwei fell ill and died in Nagoya, Japan, the Wang puppet regime fell into trouble, Japan's domestic economy collapsed, the soldiers were depleted, and the old and cunning Hao Pengju knew that the broken ship of Japan was about to sink, and the Wang puppet regime would also collapse. Hao Peng saw the wind and made the rudder, immediately turned around, and wrote a letter to Chiang Kai-shek to express his "allegiance."
After Japan announced its surrender, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to engage in dictatorship, one-party dictatorship, and prepared to launch a civil war; it was precisely at the time of his employment that he implemented a policy of "appeasing" the Wang puppet personnel, and seeing that Hao Pengju had the army in his hands, he appointed him commander-in-chief of the newly organized 6th Route Army of the 23rd Group Army.
Hao Pengju, a traitor of the Great Han Dynasty, changed from a pseudo-traitor who everyone shouted and beat to a high-ranking general of the "National Army" and occupied Xuzhou.

Hao Pengju revolted and betrayed our army
Hao Pengju's troops were reduced to 4 divisions by Chiang Kai-shek, and after wearing the title of "commander-in-chief", he was driven by Chiang Kai-shek to Taierzhuang on the front line of the suppression of the Communists. Chiang Kai-shek's concubine Gu Zhutong sent a large army to invade our liberated areas. The deployment of troops is to sacrifice miscellaneous cards and preserve the concubines.
Hao Pengju knew that things were not good, lest he be wiped out by our army. He was in a dilemma, trying to keep his strength and find another way out.
He sent his close associate Zhang Runsan to contact Chen Yi (Zhang and Chen Yi were classmates) and expressed his desire to surrender.
On January 4, 1946, Chen Yi met with Hao Pengju in YiXian County, Shandong Province, where Chen Yi explained the CCP's policy toward the rebel troops and the treatment of the troops after the uprising. Our army launched the battle of Xuzhou and Jinan sections of Jinpu Road, annihilating more than 28,000 Kuomintang troops and putting tremendous pressure on Hao Peng.
On January 9, 1946, Hao Pengju led four divisions and a special task force regiment totaling more than 20,000 people to declare an uprising on the front line of Taierzhuang. After the uprising, it was renamed the China Democratic Alliance Army.
His troops marched to Junan County, Shandong Province, to rest in the Liberated Area, and their headquarters was located in Yujiazhuang, south of the city.
In June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek tore up the armistice agreement and launched a full-scale civil war, and the Kuomintang troops occupied many towns, which was very arrogant and arrogant. Hao Peng saw that the Kuomintang was powerful and well-equipped, and he quickly wrote a letter to Chen Cheng, chief of the Kuomintang general staff, expressing his willingness to surrender.
He drew up a vicious plan, and on January 15, 1947, under the pretext of commemorating the first anniversary of the uprising of the Central China Democratic Coalition Army, he issued an invitation to the leaders of the New Fourth Army in an attempt to arrest Chen Yi and other chiefs when they arrived, and send a "generous gift" to Chiang Kai-shek. Fortunately, Chen Yi and the heads of various organs did not come, and the conspiracy went bankrupt.
On January 16, 1947, Hao Pengju openly defected in Xubanzhuang, and he kidnapped his old classmate Zhu Kejing (secretary general of the New Fourth Army) to the Kuomintang office to ask for credit, and in the autumn of 1947, Zhu Kejing was secretly killed by the Kuomintang reactionary authorities on the outskirts of Nanjing, which was a blood debt that Hao Pengju owed to the people.
Hao Pengju's troops were reorganized by the Kuomintang into the Twenty-fourth Army, and he also became the commander-in-chief, stationed in Baitabu, Hump town and other places, and continued to serve as a pawn for the Kuomintang battle of Lunan.
On February 6, 1947, the Second Column of the East China Field Army launched the Battle of Baitabu, encircling Hao Pengju's headquarters and his main force of the Thirty-second and Thirty-third Divisions in one fell swoop. After a fierce battle to eliminate the enemy army, Hao Pengju became a prisoner of our army, and when he saw The commander of our army, Chen Yi, Hao Pengju was brazen and shameless, tried his best to argue, and made excuses for his rebellion, which was severely reprimanded by Chen Yi.

Hao Pengju was imprisoned in a prisoner camp, and on the way to the transfer, he actually tried to escape, and was killed by the soldiers of our army, ending a shameful life.
