Wuhan Incident The Wuhan Incident ( ) was an armed conflict in the People ' s Republic of China between two hostile groups who were fighting for control over the city of Wuhan in July 1967 , at the height of the Cultural Revolution . The two opposing forces were the " Million Heroes " ( ) and the " Wuhan Workers ' General Headquarters " ( ) . The former , numbering about 500 , 000 people , comprised mainly skilled workers , state and local party employees , and were supported by the local PLA , led by its divisional commander , General Chen Zaidao . The " Wuhan Workers ' General Headquarters " , also numbering close to 500 , 000 people , was mostly comprised workers and students from Red Guard organizations . Both sides engaged in an extensive propaganda war in an attempt to enlist community support . This included publishing posters and pamphlets and holding street meetings to vilify their opponent . Background . All over China during the Cultural Revolution , provincial and municipal governments were replaced by organizations known as Revolutionary Committees ( alliances of cadres , soldiers and student / worker groups ) to take charge of governing the country and cleansing it from " counterrevolutionary forces " and " reactionary elements " . Various local organs took advantage of the politically chaotic environment to seize power , branding their rival factions with various labels . Chronology . Following the failed attempt by the Workers ' Headquarters faction to seize power in the city , General Chen supplied the Million Heroes with arms and led a siege against the Workers ' Headquarters faction . A message from Zhou Enlai in Beijing ordered General Chen to lift the siege , but the order was ignored . When the order from Zhou failed to dispel the mutiny , the radical intellectual and Minister of Public Security Xie Fuzhi and Wang Li ( both prominent members of the Cultural Revolution Group ) were dispatched from Beijing to Wuhan . Xie and Wang arrived on July 16 and immediately ordered General Chen to withdraw support from the Million Heroes and instead extend it to the Workers ' Headquarters . However , Chen again refused , and on 20 July forces belonging to Chen ' s mutinous PLA division captured and physically assaulted Xie Fuzhi , while simultaneously the Million Heroes captured Wang Li . In a last attempt to resolve the crisis , Zhou Enlai himself flew to Wuhan , but tanks and other military units under the command of General Chen surrounded the local airstrip and prevented his plane from landing . With the failure of peaceful negotiation , Beijing immediately responded by sending three infantry divisions , several navy gunboats , and an airborne unit to intercept General Chen ' s forces in Wuhan . Faced with overwhelming firepower , Chen surrendered unconditionally , and Wang Li and Xie Fuzhi were released and returned to Beijing on 25 July . It is estimated that about one thousand people were killed in Wuhan during the July 1967 troubles in the city .
