In November 1948, in order to further liberate all of China, the People's Liberation Army launched the Huaihai Campaign, and after more than three months of bloody struggle and the strong support of the broad masses of the people, it annihilated more than 550,000 enemy troops and won the final victory of the battle. The victory in the Huaihai Campaign wiped out the main forces of the reactionaries, liberated all the areas north of the HuaiHe River, and the People's Liberation Army marched straight to the Yangtze River, and the liberation of all of China was just around the corner.
On January 10, 1949, the last day of the Battle of Huaihai, full of prisoners of the Nationalist army, at this time, near the yam field where the 4th Column 11th Division of Huaye was stationed, more than a dozen suspicious-looking people were found. The soldiers felt that the gang did not look so simple, so they reported to their superiors, and finally were taken to the 4th Column prisoner's shelter, and when the director of the shelter, Chen Maohui, saw them, he felt that the high civilization who claimed to be the director of the 13th Corps Military District was very calm, in this case, it was difficult for an ordinary quartermaster to do it, and his behavior was abnormal.
Chen Maohui immediately realized that this person was very suspicious, Chen Maohui asked Gao Wenming to write the names of the divisions of the 13 corps, Gao Ming took out some high-grade candy, American cigarettes, beef jerky, and finally pulled out a parkak gold pen when he took out his pen. These things were not something that ordinary officers could enjoy, but he couldn't write them after writing a few words, and his entourage wanted to write them for him, but chen Maohui stopped them.
During the period of detention, Gao Wenming also deliberately self-harmed, Chen Maohui quickly understood that this was a deliberate disfigurement attempt to fool through the customs, under repeated interrogation, the entourage only confessed, it turned out that good civilization was Du Yuming, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou. At the same time, the Ministry of Enemy Works also sent a photo of Du Yuming, and after comparison, confirmed that gao wenming was Du Yuming. Soon after, Du Yuming was sent to the Beijing Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center, during which time Du Yuming actively reformed, his thinking changed greatly, he was pardoned by the government in 1959, and died in Beijing in 1981 at the age of 77.
