This person was born in the Kuomintang miscellaneous army, and his military achievements were not obvious in his life, and the only thing that made people dazzling was that during the Long March, one person resisted the joint attack of the seven marshals of the Red Army.
It happened after the Long March to Zunyi, when the instructors re-commanded the Red Army, during which the instructors crossed the Chishui four times and returned to Zunyi twice. Completely reversed the passive situation, the Kuomintang army was far behind, and during the entire period of the four crossings of Chishui, the instructors successively repaired the plank road, secretly crossed Chencang, attacked the west in the east, Li Dai Taozhuang, threw bricks and led jade, concealed the sky and crossed the sea, made something out of nothing, captured the thief and captured the king, surrounded Wei to save Zhao, attacked the heart first, fished in troubled waters, mainly opposed guests, and the 36 plans to go first. The instructors' superb military command skills have been fully demonstrated. It can be said that it is in the midst of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.
And during the entire period of the four crossings of Chishui. The most dangerous moment for the Red Army was the Battle of Tucheng. The Battle of Tucheng was a vicious battle with the highest level of participants in the history of our army, and all the people did not count a small person - Guo Xunqi. The instructors themselves said that the Battle of Tucheng during the Long March was a defeat under my command.
It can be said that during the Long March, the only defeat of the instructor was at the hands of Guo Xunqi, which was the Battle of Tucheng, when the strength of the two sides was basically the same, seven of the ten marshals took turns to fight, and they could not defeat Guo Xunqi. What's even more strange is that after this war, Chiang Kai-shek did not reuse Guo Xunqi, and Guo Xunqi himself no longer has anything to show off, and it is unremarkable.
Guo Xunqi, the word Yizhi, is a native of Sichuan. Graduated from the fifth special class of the Army University, born in the Sichuan Army, he had a good relationship with ** in his early years, and once saved ** several times, he was a famous "pro-communist element", and later was placed under house arrest by Lao Jiang because of the "Communist Party". Liu Xiang was a middle- and lower-level officer under his command because of his knowledge of Guo Xunqi, and because of his military exploits, he served as the instructor and commander of the Sichuan Army at the age of 35. In 1935, the Red Army entered Guizhou, and Guo Xunqi was ordered to intercept the Red Army on the Sichuan-Guizhou border.
First of all, it is certain that the primary reason for the failure of the Battle of Tucheng was a mistake in intelligence. Guo Xunqi's Sichuan Army is not a subordinate of more than 6,000 people in 4 regiments, but more than 10,000 people in 6 regiments, as well as follow-up troops, and it is well-equipped and has strong combat effectiveness.
On January 19, 1935, the ** Red Army marched in the direction of Tucheng from Songkan, Tongzi and Zunyi in 3 routes, and on the 27th, all of them arrived in the area east of the Chishui River. Tucheng is an important ferry port on the east bank of the Chishui River, and only by taking Tucheng can we cross the Yangtze River to the north, enter Sichuan and the Red Fourth Front Army for strategic division. In a word, the Battle of Tucheng must be fought.
In the early hours of January 28, 1935, Red.
3. The Red Fifth Army Corps and its cadre regiments, under the command of ***, launched surprise attacks from the north and south against the three regiments of the Sichuan Army's Model Division and the 4th Independent Brigade that had entered Fengcunba and Qinggangpo. However, Guo Xunqi's troops were well-trained and did not break up, but with the help of the terrain, stubbornly resisted, and the Red Army did not move forward, at this time it was learned from the prisoners that the Sichuan army was six regiments. After the instructor learned the news, he immediately realized that after dawn, the Sichuan army would inevitably counterattack.
Under these circumstances, the instructor urgently ordered the Red Second Division of the 1st Red Army to return to reinforcements quickly, and after dawn, Guo Xunqi attacked on all fronts, and in the few hours before the reinforcements of our army arrived, Guo Xunqi advanced step by step, and even hit the front of the headquarters of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. At this time, the front of the headquarters was the enemy, and behind it was the Chishui River, and there was no danger to defend and no way to retreat, and the battle situation was very unfavorable. Instructors and ** personally direct the battle.
**Recall,"Our army suffered greatly**. Guo Xunqi seized the top of the hill and advanced towards Tucheng step by step, until he reached the front of the headquarters of Baima Mountain in the east of Tucheng Town." At this critical juncture, the instructor did not choose to stick to the help, but ordered Chen Geng to lead the cadres of the Military Commission column, which caught Guo Xunqi off guard and was quickly repulsed. At this time, intelligence showed that the Kuomintang army was rushing to gather, and the instructors decided to quickly withdraw from the city to fight. At 3 o'clock on January 29, ** issued an order to cross Chishui to the west. As a result, he changed from passive to active, from setbacks to victory, and opened the curtain of the battle of the four crossings of Chishui.
The gains and losses and strategic significance of the Tucheng Campaign cannot be judged only from the superficial appearance of the Red Army, but from a strategic height we should see whether it can achieve the expected goal of defeating the Red Army so that it will no longer dare to bite the Red Army and break out of the encirclement for the Red Army to cross Chishui to the west. If the intended objective is achieved, the success of its strategic conception should be recognized. Moreover, in the first battle of Tucheng, the Sichuan army was also large. The defeat of Guo Xunqi of the Sichuan Army in the First Battle of Tucheng forced it to retreat 15 miles, and it did not dare to contact the Red Army again, so that the Red Army had the opportunity to cross the Chishui River to the south safely and completely, which was the result of the battle and an objective fact. But this battle is also enough to make Guo Xunqi proud.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Guo Xunqi, as the commander of the division, was fighting against the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, Guo Xunqi took the lead and charged ahead, and was shot in the thigh by a Japanese machine gun and was seriously wounded. Later, he worked closely with the New Fourth Army to resist Japan, and Guo Xunqi could not find a way to supplement it when he learned that the New Fourth Army lacked ***. Guo Xunqi took the initiative to provide support, and obtained more than 30 rifles and more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition through his own channels. Another time, Guo Xunqi directly gave the New Fourth Army 30,000 rounds of ammunition and 1,000 sets of military uniforms at one time. When Chiang Kai-shek learned of the situation, he was very angry and immediately removed Guo Xunqi from his post and put him under house arrest.
Guo Xunqi looked up to the sky and sighed helplessly: "I have a heart to resist Japan and save the country, but I was innocently cut off like this." Guo Xunqi, who was dismissed from his post, was "escorted" by others and returned to the fifth special class of the Nanjing Army University for further study. After graduation, he lived in seclusion in Chengdu.
During the Liberation War, Guo Xunqi, who was good at fighting, was favored by Kang Ze and was reappointed as the deputy commander of the 15th Sui District Lieutenant General of Kangze. Kang Ze was brave and unscrupulous, and invited Guo Xunqi to stabilize the hearts of the Sichuan army, but he refused to let him hold real power. After the Battle of Xiangfan began, Kang Ze did not accept Guo Xunqi's suggestions, and he could only watch from the side, silent. On the night of July 2, 1948, Wang Jinshan's Sixth Column raided Laohekou, and two regiments of the 163 Brigade under Guo Xunqi were completely annihilated, and our army only had 26 people.
The siege battle began at 20 o'clock on July 15, the sixth column concentrated 17 mortars, 3 mountain artillery, 2 anti-aircraft guns, and 27 heavy machine guns, and carried out 20 minutes of fire coverage, the 17th Brigade broke through, the 16th Brigade carried out an in-depth attack, and by the morning of the 16th, the entire Xiangyang City was breached, and Kang Ze and Guo Xunqi were taken prisoner. When the ** marshal learned that Guo Xunqi was captured, he immediately sent a telegram requesting: Be sure to ensure Guo Xunqi's safety and send him safely. When Guo Xunqi arrived, the marshal personally brought a group of people to meet him and invited Guo Xunqi to dinner. After learning the news, the instructor said that Guo Xunqi was a patriotic general, and if he was unwilling to surrender, he could return to the Kuomintang.
Guo Xunqi was of course moved and willing to join the People's Liberation Army, and later made important contributions to the peaceful liberation of Chengdu. After liberation, Guo Xunqi served as the director of the Sichuan Water Conservancy Department. In 1959, Guo Xunqi died of illness in Chengdu at the age of 70.
