After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a seventy-year-old man always sought to organize and ask to rejoin the party.
However, due to the lack of information about the old man's party introducer and referee, this request has been shelved.
Who is this old man?Why did he join the party organization again?And what happened between him and his party introducer and witness?
Guo Rugui was born in 1907 in Tongliang County, Sichuan, into a declining scholarly family.
Because of his short stature, many Kuomintang people called him "Little Ghost" or "Guo Shorty".
Guo's father was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, but he admired progressive ideas and often criticized the dark corruption of the Beiyang warlords, so Guo Rugui was influenced by progressive ideas from an early age.
In 1919, Guo Rugui came to Chengdu to study and came up with the idea of saving the country through science.
During his studies, although he wanted to study engineering, his father wanted him to be admitted to medical university, and his brother Guo Rudong was a famous general of the Sichuan Army, so he guided him to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy.
In the end, Guo Rugui was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy in 1926 and became the fifth cadet.
In 1930, Guo Rugui went to Japan to study.
Later, after the outbreak of the "918 Incident", he resolutely returned to China.
After Guo Rugui returned to China, she first applied for the University of Chinese Affairs.
After graduating, he chose to stay on to teach because he was unwilling to join his brother's reactionary army.
After the "Xi'an Incident" in 1936, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to cooperate with the Communist Party to resist Japan, and announced a unified foreign policy to jointly fight against Japan.
Guo Rugui's bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield won Chen Cheng's attention.
At the beginning of 1945, he held the post of deputy director of the Military Administration of the Ministry of Defense.
When a full-scale War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, the Japanese army formed the myth of "invincible" with its advanced equipment and launched a powerful offensive to the north and south.
The Battle of Songhu was about to break out, but none of the generals dared to meet the enemy at that time.
Subsequently, a brave warrior like Guo Rugui volunteered to rush to the enemy, and his iron-blooded spirit quickly inspired the blood and fighting spirit of the soldiers.
After seven consecutive days of night fighting, only 2,000 men remained in the 42nd Brigade, which consisted of 8,000 people, but they held their positions within the agreed time and shattered the Japanese army's dream of "annihilating China in three months".
Guo Rugui's outstanding military talent was appreciated by Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Third Theater, and he was soon appointed chief of staff of the 20th Army and commander of the 5th Division.
In the Battle of Changsha, Guo Rugui defeated the strong with the weak and won the victory, which aroused Chiang Kai-shek's attention to himself.
After the battle, Chiang Kai-shek personally appointed him as the deputy captain of the "** Training Regiment", and the commander of the regiment was none other than Chiang Kai-shek himself.
It can be seen that Guo Rugui had become a figure regarded by Chiang Kai-shek as a "military elite" at that time.
Subsequently, during the 1943 Battle of Western Hubei, Chiang Kai-shek suffered an unexpected blow and urgently dispatched Chen Cheng, commander of the expeditionary force, to return to China for defense.
Guo Rugui keenly grasped the strategic intentions of the Japanese army and immediately offered advice to Chen Cheng, so that they won another victory.
Guo Rugui won many battles and was regarded as a military treasure, becoming one of Chen Cheng's "Thirteen Taibao", and also occupied a place in Chiang Kai-shek's mind and won Chiang Kai-shek's full trust.
In March 1944, Guo Rugui went to the United Kingdom as deputy attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Britain to inspect national defense construction, and returned to China a year later.
At the recommendation of Chen Cheng, Chiang Kai-shek appointed him to be responsible for the establishment and equipment of the whole ** team, and served as the director of the Military Affairs Administration and the vice president of the National Defense Research Institute.
In August, Guo Rugui accompanied He Yingqin to attend the surrender ceremony of the Japanese invaders.
In February 1949, Guo Rugui came to Luzhou, Sichuan, and stationed in Luzhou, Sichuan, as the commander of the 72nd Army and the commander of the Xulu garrison, becoming one of the most powerful forces in southern Sichuan.
On November 30, with the liberation of Chongqing, the People's Liberation Army began to advance towards Chengdu.
Soon after, Guo Rugui led his troops to launch an uprising in Yibin, and then sent a telegram of the uprising.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Rugui was assigned to work at the Nanjing Army Academy.
No matter what job the academy assigns to him, he will do his duty without complaint.
In 1970, the Nanjing Army Academy was disbanded, and Guo Rugui was stationed in Ba County, Chongqing.
On December 11, 1949, the situation in the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China was tense.
Guo Rugui, commander of the Kuomintang 72nd Army, launched an uprising in Sichuan, and the soldiers were taken by surprise.
The Kuomintang hastened to accuse Guo Rugui of being a Communist agent, but in fact he was indeed a member of the Communist Party.
However, with Chiang Kai-shek's launch of the "412 counter-revolutionary coup d'état", the White Terror in the country.
Guo Rugui immediately returned to Sichuan, but was forced to stay in Guo Rudong's troops because Wu Yuzhang had lost contact.
Under the influence of the Communist Party, Guo Rugui gradually changed her mind and joined the Communist Party.
However, because Chiang Kai-shek did not allow organizations outside the party, Guo Rugui's party membership was soon revealed.
For his safety, Guo Rugui was sent to Japan to study and lost contact with the party organization.
It was not until April 1945 that he contacted his cousin Ren Lianru through his Huangpu classmate Ren Xiaoyou and expressed his willingness to go to Yan'an.
Through several investigations of Guo Rugui, the organization confirmed his loyalty and arranged to meet Dong Biwu twice.
Dong Biwu demanded that Guo Rugui continue to stay in the Kuomintang and contribute to the cause of liberation, and said that the organization would consider reinstating his party membership.
With her outstanding military ability and military exploits, Guo Rugui quickly rose to the position of director of the War Department of the Ministry of National Defense during the civil war.
He became a "spy" and sent top-secret military intelligence to the PLA headquarters, which became a good news on the battlefield.
In the Battle of Menglianggu in 1947, Guo Rugui's intelligence played an important role, enabling our army to successfully annihilate the integrated 74th Division and kill Zhang Lingfu.
In 1948, before the Huaihai Campaign, Bai Chongxi proposed the strategic concept of reducing the strength of the Huaihai front and "clenching his fist", but Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied with this.
Guo Rugui sensed Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts and made a plan to disperse his forces to defend the capital.
Chiang Kai-shek praised this plan and approved it.
However, Du Yuming began to doubt Guo Rugui.
After the victory of our army in the first two stages of the Huaihai Campaign, Du Yuming, who had doubts about Guo Rugui, bypassed Guo Rugui and reported directly to Chiang Kai-shek the decision to evacuate Xuzhou.
When Guo Rugui learned of this, he personally approached Chiang Kai-shek and offered professional tactical advice.
Chiang Kai-shek was persuaded and immediately gave an order for the troops to stand by in place.
After many round-trips, Du Yuming became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army on January 10, 1949, and the Huaihai Battle ended successfully.
The elite forces of the Kuomintang largely collapsed after three major wars.
Guo Rugui decided to use Chiang Kai-shek's trust again and planned to crush him.
He resigned as director of the War Department and went to Sichuan to recruit soldiers to form an army so that he could prepare for a rainy day.
Chiang Kai-shek was deeply moved, affirmed Guo Rugui's loyalty to the party and state, appointed him commander of the Kuomintang 72nd Army, and went to Sichuan to recruit soldiers.
However, soon after, Guo Rugui announced an uprising in Yibin, Sichuan, and more than 13,000 people of the 72nd Army were reorganized into the People's Liberation Army.
Chiang Kai-shek's southwestern plan was completely defeated.
After returning to the organization and founding New China, Guo Rugui returned to China as a surrendered general.
However, in order to maintain the stability of intelligence work and his personal safety, the organization decided to keep his special identity secret until the 80s of the 20th century.
When Guo returned to China, his first goal was to rejoin the Communist Party.
However, when he submitted his application to join the party organization, he was denied.
It turned out that all the comrades who worked with Guo Rugui had died, and no one could prove his identity.
Despite some disappointment, Guo Rugui did not give up, but regarded it as a lifelong goal.
As the years passed, and as Guo Rugui turned his seventies, he became more and more eager to rejoin the Communist Party.
Therefore, he applied to join the party again, and finally got his wish on April 9, 1980, at the age of 73, Guo Rugui was approved to enjoy the treatment of deputy military commander.
After joining the party, Guo Rugui was full of vitality and decided to write a memoir "Memoirs of Guo Rugui" to record all the past in the form of words.
In his memoirs, Guo Rugui also mentioned two of the Kuomintang officers he admired the most, namely the "Peace General" Zhang Zhizhong and the "Buyi General" Fu Zuoyi.
Zhang Zhizhong was considered a rare "peace general" among the Kuomintang generals, and although he was in the Kuomintang camp, he always opposed the civil war and made many contributions to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
He was the only general who had never fought with us, and ** and *** also regarded him as a friend, and often supported him in his later years.
And although General Fu Zuoyi fought with our army many times and was deceived by Chiang Kai-shek, he finally lost his way back.
In the process of the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Fu Zuoyi made great contributions to the complete liberation of this thousand-year-old city.
What these three figures have in common is that they have all returned to the embrace of the party and served the country and the people wholeheartedly.
The difference is that Guo Rugui is returning to the organization.
Mr. Guo Rugui passed away in Chongqing on October 23, 1997 at the age of 90.
He was in a high position on the opposing side, but he did not succumb to all kinds of **.
He insisted on standing in the den of the dragon and tiger and never wavered or retreated.
He has always cherished the highest loyalty and love for the party, the country, and the people.
His outstanding contributions to the independence, freedom and liberation of his homeland will forever be remembered in the annals of history.
