(Peng Xuefeng)
In late August 1932, the Red 2nd Division, with Peng Xuefeng as the political commissar of the division and Guo Bingsheng as its commander, was taking a short rest in the Yihuang and Le'an areas of Jiangxi.

The Kuomintang Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying's troops suddenly inserted themselves into the garrison of our Red Second Division from west to east, and Peng Xuefeng led the main force of the 7th Regiment and the division's direct subordinate units to face the enemy head-on and cover the transfer of the 5th and 6th Regiments. At that time, because the troops were too dispersed, the whole division could not be concentrated, and in a flash it was split by the enemy who had sneaked into the garrison area, and the 5th Regiment was cut off to the northeast of the division headquarters, and lost contact with the division headquarters in the southwest direction and the 6th and 7th Regiments, and the situation was extremely critical.

After the war, the 6th Regiment moved closer to the main force, but the 5th Regiment and the Division's Special Agent Company were missing. Where did so many people go? Peng Xuefeng received a report that the 5th Regiment and the Division's Special Agent Company were led north into the White Zone by Division Commander Guo Bingsheng.
Peng Xuefeng was taken aback, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart: Guo Bingsheng may lead his troops to defect to the enemy!
In order to save the 5th Regiment, Peng Xuefeng decided to act immediately. He asked Li Zhimin, director of the division's political department, to lead the 6th Regiment, the 7th Regiment, and the division's direct subordinate units to the Dongshao area for recuperation, while he himself selected 15 young and strong soldiers to sneak north to catch up with Guo Bingsheng and the 5th Regiment.
Peng Xuefeng led 15 brave soldiers to set off. Carrying pistols, carrying rifles, pinning grenades in their waists, and raising their horses and whips, they chased after fuzhou.
Along the way they managed to avoid the enemy, sneaking in covertly, probing as they went. There were no traces of 5 groups in one day or two days, no news for three days and four days, and the fifth day had passed. At this time, they came to the territory of Chongren County, Fuzhou. In the evening, Peng Xuefeng suddenly noticed that there was a unit moving in front of him, which vaguely did not look like a Kuomintang army. Impatient, he immediately rushed forward and asked loudly, "Which part of you are?" ”
Shouts cut through the silent evening sky. The other party quickly had an echo. It turned out that this unit was the outpost company of the 5th Regiment. When they saw that Commissar Peng had arrived, they were overjoyed.
Bai Zhiwen, the leader of the Fifth Regiment, and the cadres of the Regiment Headquarters happily gathered around to greet Commissar Peng. Political Commissar Peng pressed The Leader of the Bai Regiment: "I did not write to Director Li and ask you to wait for me at Bashan, and I will take you to Fenglanwei, why did you come here?" ”
Commander Bai Said, "After Director Li left, Commander Guo said that the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops are about to carry out the fourth major 'encirclement and suppression' of the Soviet area, and we cannot return to the Soviet area, and we cannot return to the Soviet area, and before the enemy has closed the siege, we will try to cross the Ganjiang River in the west, return to our old base area in Hunan to fight guerrillas, and preserve the revolutionary forces.
Without waiting for The Leader of the Bai Regiment to say anything more, Guo Bingsheng rushed to defend himself: "When I crossed the Ganjiang River in the east, I made an opinion that we could not leave our hometown to fight in Jiangxi, and in the past two years, facts have proved that the more the battle is fought, the more passive it is, so I want to bring the team back to Hunan." ”
After dinner, Peng Xuefeng went to visit the officers and men of the 5th Regiment and the Special Agent Company. In the special agent company, Peng Xuefeng met Peng Xiong, who had been a correspondent under him and is now the commander of the communications platoon. Peng Xiong pulled Peng Xuefeng to a hidden place, reported to him all the suspicious situations of Guo Bingsheng that he had observed in the past few days, and said: "I see that Guo Bingsheng is at least to avoid the fourth 'encirclement and suppression', and to be the emperor of the earth to enjoy the blessings!" ”
Peng Xuefeng immediately held a meeting of cadres and told everyone: "The main force of the division has arrived in the Central Soviet Region. Then he pointed out: "When the 6th Regiment lost contact with the division headquarters, it moved with all its strength in the direction of the Soviet Zone, and soon found the main force; why did the 5th Regiment move in the direction of Fuzhou?" After listening to Peng Xuefeng's speech, the cadres of the 5th Regiment immediately became clear-eyed and resolutely demanded to rush back to the Soviet area. After the meeting, Bai Zhiwen, the head of the regiment, also reported Guo Bingsheng's suspicious actions and abnormal emotions to Peng Xuefeng.
At night, Guo Bingsheng came to see Peng Xuefeng. Peng Xuefeng severely criticized Guo's erroneous behavior of entering the white area. Guo Bingsheng lied for a while that he was moved to the white area because he was chased by the enemy and helpless, and then said that it was because he had an opinion on Peng Xuefeng that he took the troops out to give Peng Xuefeng a little color to see, and finally begged Peng Xuefeng to allow him to "make up for his mistakes" in the future for the sake of working together for many years.
Guo Bingsheng again pretended to be remorseful and said: "Commissar Peng, my organization is not strongly disciplined, and I am homesick, and I act without asking my superiors. I...... I'll definitely review it when I go back. ”
In order to stabilize Guo Bingsheng's mood, Peng Xuefeng finally said: "If you have an opinion on me, you should promptly report it to the leaders of the regiment, and you absolutely must not take the troops out of anger, let alone take the war as a joke." Guo Bingsheng, who was bent on pulling troops to surrender to the enemy, was pale in front of Peng Xuefeng, who was awe-inspiring in his righteousness, and his heart was pounding.
Knowing that he had no hope of pulling away his troops, he took advantage of the sudden wind and heavy rain in the middle of the night on his way back to the south the next day and sneaked away, fleeing to Fuzhou and becoming a shameful traitor.
