During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were very few women who could be awarded the rank of general in the Kuomintang army, and there was no doubt that they were all strange women. The female lieutenant general introduced today is a strange woman, coincidentally, this woman is also surnamed Qi, called Qi Junfeng.
Qi Junfeng is an authentic Mongolian, originally named Sefulma, speaking of her legend, it should start from her 19-year-old marriage to the head of the Urath West Gongqi. After marrying the flag commander, she originally had a happy life, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and her husband died 3 years later, and according to the regulations of the Mongolian people at that time, Qi Junfeng took over as the flag commander. At that time, when the Japanese invaded Inner Mongolia, many flag commanders became traitors, but Qi Junfeng understood the righteousness and raised the banner of resistance against Japan, and also became the first prince of the Mongolian flag to throw himself from the Japanese puppet occupation area to the anti-Japanese camp. In order to drive away the Japanese, Qi Junfeng took 20 people to meet Fu Zuoyi, and with the help of Fu Zuoyi, he raised an anti-Japanese team, and was appointed by the Kuomintang as the commander of the security of the Urad Front Banner and awarded the rank of major general. This is a real rank of general, not only appointment, but also military salary, and the monthly combat fund is 7,000 silver dollars, all of which are allocated by the Ministry of Military Affairs. With this financial support, Qi Junfeng continued to develop the anti-Japanese team, recruited troops, and expanded the team into two regiments.
The first battle in which Qi Junfeng commanded the two regiments was brilliant. At that time, the Japanese army sent a regiment with 45 trucks in an attempt to capture Sesi Shanzui. Qi Junfeng closely cooperated with the Kuomintang troops in Bingyue, attacked the east and the west, fought guerrilla warfare, and made full use of his expertise in the local terrain to annihilate two companies of the enemy in the first battleThe headline on the front page introduced Qi Junfeng's anti-Japanese deeds, and her popularity became higher and higher, becoming an excellent representative of minority women, and ordinary people also came to take refuge. In 1940, in view of Qi Junfeng's heroic performance on the anti-Japanese battlefield in Suixi, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling decided to meet Qi Junfeng in person and asked her to come to Chongqing to report on her work. After receiving the order, Qi Junfeng arranged the troops and walked with 20 people for nearly 4 months, and finally arrived in Chongqing. At that time, "* recorded the grand occasion after her arrival in Chongqing, the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Mongolian and Tibetan Commission jointly organized a grand welcome party, Kong Xiangxi, He Yingqin and many important members came to greet her, and Kong Xiangxi also personally presided over a grand welcome banquet to welcome Qi Junfeng.
Then, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling specially summoned Qi Junfeng at their official residence, accompanied by military and political officials. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek summoned a lot of people, but most of them did not exceed 20 minutes, but this time he made an exception and talked with Qi Junfeng for more than 3 hours, praising her as a Mongolian heroine and a Mongolian anti-Japanese female pioneer. During this interview, no dinner was arranged for her, but Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling specially left her at the official residence for dinner, and announced in public before the dinner that Qi Junfeng would be promoted to lieutenant general and commander, and that a large truck would be given to her to load 200 machine guns and 500 sets of military uniforms, and a car would also be given to her, which shows that Chiang Kai-shek and his wife attach great importance to Qi Junfeng. After the meeting, Song Meiling arranged for her to give anti-Japanese speeches in various factories and schools in Chongqing, and held a special report meeting, so that Qi Junfeng's name spread all over the country. After Qi Junfeng returned to Inner Mongolia, he continued to expand his anti-Japanese contingent and established the Urad Front Banner Defense Command, which expanded from the original two regiments to three regiments, and the momentum became louder and louder, making the Japanese puppet army frightened. But unfortunately, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Qi Junfeng was assassinated at the age of 32. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, people did not forget Qi Junfeng's anti-Japanese exploits, and the two people who assassinated her were pulled out and sent to the guillotine.
