Zhou Jianguo handed Pan Guangfu the material "Memories of Stopping Fighting in Anhui" collected from Hefei. He told Pan Guangfu and Chai Jianmin, you can look at these data. The author Liu Jiaju's description is very detailed.

Pan Guangfu began to read the data. In the memoirs of the author Liu Jiaju, he described the struggle between the G faction and the P faction in Hefei at that time:

The next day, we made a detailed report to Li Desheng on the fighting between the two factions. Li Desheng said, we can't wait any longer, people are dying every day, and the two factions must immediately hand over their weapons and release the prisoners. He asked us to find the leaders of the two factions to blow the wind, first to be courteous and then to be soldiers.

In the evening, I followed Staff Officer Liu to the combat headquarters of the P faction. The location was in the compound of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The commander in chief was Cheng Mingyuan. He was a veteran cadre who joined the Communist Party of China in 1927. Secretary Zeng Xisheng was branded a "rightist" and expelled from the party. After being transferred, Zeng Xisheng was rehabilitated.

The P faction headquarters was heavily guarded. When Lao Liu and I arrived at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sentry shook us from head to foot with a flashlight, and we were put into the compound after we were verified to be upright. In front of the office building, a burly man was waiting. Under his guidance, we walked through the long aisle. The rooms on both sides were interrogation rooms. From a gap in the door, we could clearly see the interrogators hanging and beating the prisoners. , The sound of beatings accompanied by screams was heartbreaking.

I asked the leader, "Who are you interrogating?"

The guide said: "They were captured yesterday. The ordinary little radishheads are locked up in the Agricultural College, and the ones locked up here are all the big leaders of the Hao faction. Commander Cheng will personally interrogate them."

Isn’t it good for you to hang like this?”

"We can't be gentle, courteous and frugal to these people. They caught our people and made things worse. It's class struggle. You can't be soft-hearted."

When we went up to the balcony on the second floor, we saw a figure with a bald head and a big belly like an arhat, lying on a mat and shaking a cattail fan. When he saw us coming, he slowly got up and sat up. He is Cheng Mingyuan, the old Red Army who fought with big knives in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and has now mastered the millions of armed forces of the P faction. As soon as we arrived in front of him, more than a dozen guards with automatic guns appeared behind him, staring at us. Cheng Mingyuan didn't ask someone to set up a seat for us, he just shook the cattail fan in his hand without saying a word.

Old Liu knelt down and said to Cheng Mingyuan: "Commander Cheng, Director Li greets you, let us convey his hopes and demands to the two factions."

Cheng Mingyuan said very sensitively: "You are here to ask us to surrender your guns, right?"

Lao Liu said: "We will not favor any side. In the future, we will let both sides lay down their arms at the same time at the specified location."

Cheng Mingyuan immediately said, "Is this Director Li's intention, or is it an instruction from the central government?"

Lao Liu said: "The central government has already stated it in the nine-point solution to the Anhui issue. Before I came, Director Li asked the central government for instructions. The central government asked you to hand over your weapons and release the prisoners."

Cheng Mingyuan said, "Did Mr. Kang express his opinion?"

We have heard that at the end of last year, Cheng Mingyuan and a group of veteran cadres jointly issued an urgent appeal to support the rebellion against the provincial party committee, and then Cheng Mingyuan, Yu Deshui and others initiated the establishment of the Red Guard. After Yu Deshui was arrested, Cheng Mingyuan was wanted. When the central government resolved the Anhui issue in March this year, the central government’s decision to deal with the Anhui issue read out by Kang Sheng clearly stated: “It is wrong to arrest Comrade Yu Deshui and arrest Comrades Cheng Mingyuan and others.”

So Cheng Mingyuan is grateful to Kang Sheng. Lao Liu said: "Director Li asked Mr. Kang for instructions, and Mr. Kang agreed."

Cheng Mingyuan said: "Since the Central Cultural Revolution has given instructions, we will resolutely follow them." He then asked: "Do you know what weapons the two factions have?"

Lao Liu said: "We just intervened in supporting the left, and we really don't know. We can give you a written guarantee. If one side leaves a bullet, we will hold the leaders accountable. They must bear the responsibility of deceiving the central government."

Cheng Mingyuan said: "We are going to hand over our weapons right away. It may not be possible. We still need to hold a meeting to study it."

Lao Liu said: "Director Li said that only 20 days will be given to the two factions."

"Brother Comrade," Cheng Mingyuan said with a bit of arrogance, "it's not just Hefei who handed over guns to you, our P faction wants to act in a unified way in the whole province, it's not an easy task, there are millions of people, millions of guns , and scattered over a land of 140,000 square kilometers, we need to be notified and persuaded, and we must have enough time to do the work.”

Cheng Mingyuan was in the Hubei, Henan, Anhui, and Anhui Soviet areas. His army was a small guerrilla force of more than 30 people. Now it has a strong army of one million and excellent weapons. He knows that political power can only come from the barrel of a gun. Put down the barrel of the gun and seize power by spitting , It is a bamboo basket to fetch water.

Staff Officer Liu further told him: "There are troops in every county and city. We have a unified deployment and a unified action. We will send people to do the following work." Old Liu stood up and said, "That's how we decide Alright, let's take our leave, please take care, Commander."

Staff Officer Liu was called "Liu Tiezui" among us. On the return car, I said, "Old Liu, your mouth has played the role of a teacher." It depends on bragging.

A month later, Cheng Mingyuan was still dragging his feet, but in the "Ninth Five-Year Speech" of Jiang Qing and Kang Sheng, he publicly announced that Cheng Mingyuan was a traitor and a "black hand" behind the P faction. Feng, arrested Cheng Mingyuan for the crime of "traitor".

On the second day after meeting Cheng Mingyuan, we went to the headquarters of the G faction at Hefei University of Technology. The leader of the G faction is a university assistant. He showed us around their fortifications. There are on the ground and on the roof. The combatants are all waiting in the fortifications. The leader told me that demobilized soldiers were invited to guide and set up their fortifications, and the design fee for each fortification ranged from 50 to 30 yuan.

I was surprised and asked: "Why do you do this? The G faction has the largest number of people, so there are no military talents?"

The leader said: "Our members who participated in the battle are mainly students, and we have to undergo strict political censorship. Those from bad backgrounds and five types of families are determined not to be used. The same is true for the liberation cadres we use. Anyone who is suspected of being a capitalist roader None are enabled."

"Then why?"

"In the future, there will be a three-in-one alliance. We will be politically clean, and we will be in a favorable position. People from the P faction will be able to fight. Many of them come from rich backgrounds and are reactionary forces of the Kuomintang."

This component-only university teaching assistant also told me: "The G faction has 50 million people in the majority of the province. The new government in the province should be dominated by us. We will not reject the P faction and absorb the outstanding elements among them to participate in the university. Unity, triple combination."

Strong factionalism has made these leaders ignorant of current affairs, the flames of war will only continue, and it is imminent to confiscate the weapons of both sides.

In the late 1980s, someone came to Beijing and told me that the leader of the G faction was already a prominent figure in Shenzhen’s business circle. He was very economical and had bought many local original stocks. Some people say that revisionism is the path I aspire to.

Zhou Jianguo handed the document "Memories of Stopping Fighting in Anhui" collected from Hefei to Pan Guangfu. When Pan Guangfu saw this, he said to Zhou Jianguo and Chai Jianmin:

I read the data, and from Liu Jiaju's narrative, I can draw a conclusion: the G faction has a majority of 50 million people in the province, and its members are mainly students. Strict political review is also required. The five types of families are resolutely not used, and the same is true for the liberated cadres who are used. Anyone suspected of being a capitalist roader is not used. The P faction has an armed force of one million. The commander-in-chief is Cheng Mingyuan. Cheng Mingyuan is an old Red Army who was killed in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. He was a veteran cadre who joined the Communist Party of China in 1927. A secretary, Zeng Xisheng, was labeled a "rightist" and expelled from the party. Zeng Xisheng was rehabilitated after he was transferred away. Obviously, Shen Zhirui, who once participated in the New Fourth Army and participated in the Liaoshen Campaign, was later branded a "rightist" and expelled from the party. The rebel organization headed by him was the P faction. He had a similar experience with Cheng Mingyuan.
