In June 1948, the 2nd Corps of the Chiang Army was established, with a total strength of 120,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the 5th Army, the 70th Army, the 74th Army, the 12th Army, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade.
The 9th Corps in the Northeast has the two trump cards of the New 1st Army and the New 6th Army, while the 2nd Corps in East China also has the 2nd Corps under the jurisdiction of the 5th Army and the 74th Army, so they are all the main forces of the first class in Chiang's army. It's just that the 74th Army at this time was rebuilt after Meng Lianggu was completely annihilated, leaving a reputation, and its actual combat effectiveness has plummeted, and the real core backbone of the 2nd Corps is still the 5th Army.
Since the 2nd Corps was established on the core basis of the 5th Army, according to the usual practice, the commander of the Corps should be Qiu Qingquan, the commander of the 5th Army. However, Chiang's appointment was unexpected, and the commander of the corps was concurrently served by Du Yuming, the second-in-command of Xuzhou's "suppression of the general", and only Qiu was given a deputy commander of the corps. Qiu was extremely dissatisfied with this appointment, and on the grounds of recuperation, he took leave and returned to his hometown in Yongjia, Zhejiang.
Jiang's employment is not Huangpu **, or Zhejiang villagers, Qiu Qingquan has both, he should have been Jiang's confidant, but why can't he climb the throne of the commander of the corps?
Qiu Qingquan was born in the hometown of poetry, books and etiquette, originally a scholar, the first place in the school when he graduated from primary school, returned to his hometown after graduating from middle school and became a teacher, and then went to Shanghai University to work part-time, at the age of 22, he was admitted to the Huangpu 2nd Engineer Department, and followed Jiang all his life. At the age of 32, he was sent to the Army University in Berlin, Germany, for further study, and returned to China to serve as the chief of staff of the Teaching Corps. Qiu himself also participated in many vicious battles in Songhu, Nanjing, Lanfeng, Kunlun Pass, etc., although there was no great merit or great fault, and the battle record was quite reasonable.
During the War of Liberation, Qiu Qingquan led the 5th Army to fight in many battlefields in the Central Plains, and Liu Deng, Chen Su's army fought many fierce battles, winning and losing each other, although not as big as Hu Lian's 18th Army threat, but also a strong enemy of our army, Su Yu gave the chairman of the military order, the annihilation of the 5th Army is one of the important ones. During Huaye's rectification in Puyang, Mr. Zhu personally went to supervise the war, and said that Huaye's task was to eliminate Qiu Qingquan, which shows that the threat of Qiu during this period was not small.
However, Qiu is domineering and domineering, not only few of his colleagues can enter his eyes, but even senior generals like Liu Zhi have been repeatedly ridiculed by Qiu for their mediocrityTherefore, Qiu has made too many enemies in the army, which is also a major shortcoming of his life, and his boss will not ignore it when employing people.
Crucially, Qiu's performance in the Battle of Eastern Henan greatly dissatisfied Chiang. After Su Yu led the Huaye 1st Corps to cross the Yellow River south, he originally planned to advance north and south with the Chen Tang Corps and annihilate the 5th Army in one fell swoop. However, Qiu Qingquan's sense of smell on the battlefield is indeed sensitive, and after seeing Su Yu's intentions, he came to an anti-guest, which made Su Yu unable to start for a while, which made Su Yu use the belly case that was opened first. In order to snatch the first credit for recovering Kaifeng, Qiu led the 5th Army all the way forward, but left the Ou Shounian Corps behind, so that Su Yu had a good opportunity to destroy the enemy in the Suiqi field.
The district corps was besieged, and Chiang strictly ordered Qiu to relieve the siege, and the warrant said that if the task could not be completed, "military law would be engaged". Qiu exerted his best strength, but he couldn't break through the defense line of Song Shilun's 10 columns, so he could only watch Ou Shounian being captured. Su Yu's divine power continued to besiege Huang Baitao's corps from afar, and Qiu was once again ordered to relieve the siege. If Qiu drops the chain again this time, I'm afraid that he will really be "engaged in military law". In desperation, Qiu took the risk of drilling into the gap and made a roundabout, but luckily succeeded, so that Hua Ye, who was suffering from the enemy on his back, had to withdraw from the siege.
In the Eastern Henan Campaign, our army conquered Kaifeng and occupied the Henan Provincial Security Command
In order to boost morale, Jiang made up the so-called "Great Victory in the Yellow Flood Area", awarded Huang Baitao the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, and let him take charge of the 7th Corps. Everyone originally thought that the commander of the 2nd Corps was none other than Qiu Qingquan, but Qiu only got a deputy position, and it was obvious that Jiang had an opinion of Qiu.
Coincidentally, Hu Lian, who is also a star in the army with Qiu, did not enter the eyes of the Jiang family, and the commander of the 18th Corps with the 12th Army as the core was given to Huang Wei, who had long since left the front-line troops, and Hu Lian, who had a high prestige, was only a deputy. It is unknown what Jiang's move meant, some people say that Hu Lian is not loved by Jiang because of his obscene appearance, I am afraid this is not the main reason. In short, Hu Lian also said that he was sick and went to Shanghai in a fit of anger, and picked his son like Qiu Qingquan.
However, Du Yuming's concurrently serving as the commander of the 2nd Corps is not a long-term solution after all. The Liaoshen Campaign began, Du Yuming was transferred to the northeast to clean up the mess, and the position of commander of the 2nd Corps was vacant. Jiang Shi was another telegram, asking Qiu Qingquan, who was idle at home, to hurry up and take office, the commander of the ** Corps. Qiu was full of ambition to go to Shangqiu, Henan Province to take up his post, and a month later became the official commander, and he was even more complacent.

At this time, Qiu Qingquan was at the pinnacle of his life, and he was determined to fight with our army, and asked Chief of Staff Li Hanping to organize a pre-war oath-taking ceremony. However, he was very dissatisfied with the clichéd oath written by the Political Work Department, and personally wrote and revised it, first saying how to be "loyal" and not afraid of death and not surrendering, and then saying that if the oath was violated, "the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, the thunder will be burned, the men will be thieves and prostitutes, and the red cannon will pierce the heart." Li Hanping felt that such an oath was nondescript, which was really funny, but Qiu said that the most feared thing about being a soldier was "male thieves and female prostitutes, and red cannons piercing their hearts", and this can at least boost morale.
Qiu Qingquan, who became the commander of the corps, received the first task to blow up the Yellow River embankment and create a water barrier to prevent Huaye from encircling Xuzhou. This is a dirty job, and if it is done, it will be infamous, so the telegram sent by Chiang to Qiu is top secret, and he blames our army.
Qiu Si thought about it and handed over the task to Gao Jiren, the commander of the 70th Army. Gao is the oldest commander of the 2nd Corps, and he is more reliable. It is not known how Gao felt when he received this task, but fortunately, the Xuzhou General Suppression quickly canceled this plan, because current affairs have undergone major changes, the Huaihai Campaign was launched ahead of schedule, and the corps of Chiang's army should hurry closer to Xuzhou.
Qiu Qingquan was very happy, because this move meant that he had to leave the "Shangqiu", a place that sounded very unlucky. When he went to Xuzhou for a meeting, he even got a promise from Gu Zhutong, chief of staff, that he "could act arbitrarily." At this time, he didn't seem to feel the danger of the war, let alone think that he would die in two months.
Qiu has obvious personality characteristics. He wears a long shirt when he is at home, he can't let go of the scroll, he writes good poetry, and he is completely an old-school literati. But once he changed into a military uniform, he immediately became vicious, so that he gained the notoriety of "Qiu Maniac" at a young age. In any case, among the various titles behind Qiu Qingquan, there is at least one item called "Anti-Japanese Patriotic General", and it is precisely because of this that his ending is even more embarrassing. The tide of history is mighty, and it is true that no one can stop it!
