In the later stages of the War of Liberation, many generals of the Nationalist Army, for their own future, did not want to become victims of Chiang Kai-shek's military clique, so they chose to revolt, break away from Chiang Kai-shek's military clique, and join the People's Army. Among these rebel generals, there were former elders of the Nationalist army and local warlord generals, such as Gao Shuxun, Wu Huawen, Zeng Zesheng, He Jifeng, Zhang Kexia, Fu Zuoyi, Zhang Yi, Dong Qiwu, Cheng Qian, Tao Zhiyue, Lu Han and other Nationalist generals who chose to revolt. A small number of Huangpu generals chose to leave Chiang Kai-shek and join the People's Army at a time of crisis. As we may all know, the Huangpu generals in Chiang Kai-shek's military clique were the most valued by him, so during the liberation period, relatively few Huangpu generals embarked on the road of uprising.
After all, in the face of life and death, most Huangpu generals are difficult to do, and Chiang Kai-shek said that killing oneself becomes a benevolent person. But they did not want to bear the infamy, so they could only stand by and become prisoners of our army. Generals of the Nationalist army such as Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Kang Ze, Song Xilian, Liao Yaoxiang, and Huang Wei were all backbone members of Chiang Kai-shek's Huangpu department. They were all unwilling to betray Chiang Kai-shek, nor were they willing to choose surrender or uprising, and there was no doubt that they would end up being prisoners of our army.
Among the rebel generals of the Nationalist Army, there are still some Huangpu generals who are uprisings, such as chen Mingren, who graduated from the huangpu phase I. He was not only Chiang Kai-shek's beloved general, but also belonged to the Huangpu generals, one of the higher ranks of the uprising, from the rank of officer to the rank of commander of the corps. Before the uprising, Chen Mingren was the commander of the Changsha garrison, and because Chiang Kai-shek was not at ease with Cheng Qian, he let Chen Mingren take over the military of Changsha. Perhaps even Chiang Kai-shek himself would not have thought that at this time, his beloved general Chen Mingren had already made a defection to Cheng Qian.
As a General of the Huangpu Clan, Chen Mingren was able to choose to revolt, which Chiang Kai-shek never expected. The reason why he chose this path was first because he saw that Chiang Kai-shek's general trend had gone; the second reason was to avoid resistance, which led to the injury of innocent people; and the third reason was because of the consideration of his wife, children, and family. Based on the above three reasons, Chen Mingren, as a general of the Huangpu clan, finally chose to revolt and join the People's Army, and was later awarded the rank of general for his meritorious service in suppressing bandits in Guangxi.
In the Huangpu Phase I, in addition to Chen Mingren, hou Jingru also chose to revolt in the later stages of the Liberation War. Hou Jingru was a more complex figure, and it is said that he joined our party in his early years during the Eastern Crusade, and it is rumored that he is the invisible general of our party. In the famous Battle of Tashan, he did not lead his troops across Tashan, and a big reason was that he was an underground comrade of our party. In August 1949, he led an uprising in Fuzhou, and he was also a general belonging to the Huangpu clan, and he chose to revolt on the battlefield of liberation.
Chen Kefei, who graduated from the first phase of Huangpu, was not only a General of Chiang Kai-shek's Huangpu clan, but also a fellow countryman with Chiang Kai-shek. In the Southwest Campaign, in order to prevent Song Xilian from surrendering to the enemy, Chiang Kai-shek specifically instructed Chen Kefei to monitor Song Xilian's every move. Unexpectedly, however, Chiang Kai-shek once again punched his face, treating loyal subjects as anti-ministers and anti-ministers as loyal subjects, and Song Xilian did not revolt in the end, but fought for Chiang Kai-shek to the last soldier and became a prisoner of our army. On the contrary, Chen Kefei saw that Chiang Kai-shek's general trend had gone on December 12, 1949, and led his troops to revolt and join the People's Army.
Liao Yunzhou, who revolted in the Battle of Huaihai, was also a Huangpu general, as well as Guo Rujie, one of the 13 Taibao of the Civil Engineering Department, and Han Liancheng, both of whom belonged to Chiang Kai-shek's Huangpu generals. But these three are in a rather special situation, because they also have another identity, that is, the invisible generals on the secret front of our party are underground comrades lurking in Chiang Kai-shek's military clique, so they are not called uprisings, and Zhou Gong calls them home.
