In the face of a strong enemy, Wu Guanghao was courageous and resolute. He calmly commanded his troops to fight a bloody battle, and eventually failed because of the great disparity between the enemy and us. In October of the same year, the Hubei provincial Party committee of the Communist Party of China sent Wu Guanghao and others to Huangma area to set up the East Hubei special committee and the East Hubei Revolutionary Committee to lead the armed uprising in Huang'an and Macheng counties, and appointed Wu Guanghao as the leader of the peasant self defense army in Macheng county. In order to plan the jute uprising, he forgot to eat and sleep and worked day and night. In early November, according to the instructions of the higher authorities, the general headquarters of jute uprising was established, which was composed of Pan Zhongru, Wu Guanghao and Dai Kemin. Pan Zhongru was the commander in chief and Wu Guanghao was the deputy commander in chief.

After the uprising was suppressed by the Kuomintang army, he went through the enemy's heavy blockade and went to mount Mulan in Huangpi county at the end of December to launch a guerrilla war.

On the night of November 13, with "bang bang!" With a few shots, the jute uprising officially began. Under the leadership of Wu Guanghao, the siege commandos climbed up the northwest wall and rushed into the city.

After the victory of jute uprising, the Eastern Hubei army of Chinese revolutionary army of workers and peasants was established. Pan Zhongru was appointed as commander in chief and Wu Guanghao as deputy commander in chief.

Wu Guanghao led the remaining 72 soldiers, party and government personnel of the Eastern Hubei army to break out of the siege. He arrived at Mulan mountain in late December to continue the guerrilla war.

In January 1928, according to the instructions of the Central Committee, the Eastern Hubei army of the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army was reorganized into the seventh army of the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army.

In July, in order to adapt to the new situation, the 7th army was reorganized into the 31st division of the 11th army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army under the instruction of the higher authorities. Wu Guanghao served as the commander and division commander. During this period, he led his troops to fight many victories in Tiantaishan, hanjialaowu and other places, which expanded the revolutionary base areas in Hubei Henan border area.

Then he attacked the enemy's empty side rear area and smashed the enemy's siege. Then he led his troops to the south of Huang'an county to annihilate the "Qingxiang regiment" in Gaoqiao River and some reactionary forces nearby. 3、 In April, Chiang Kai Shek and GUI warlords fought, and the 18th army withdrew from Chaishan fort.
