Although General Ye Ting was detained and placed under house arrest during the Southern Anhui Incident, he was not freed until March 1946, but unfortunately died in a plane crash a month later.
In recent years, many people have delved into the cause of the plane crash, but ignored the key detail of why Ye Ting was released.
After General Ye Ting was detained, we have been trying to rescue him, but because of Chiang Kai-shek's resolute opposition, no progress has been made. It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party negotiated in Chongqing, and a friendly atmosphere was reached on the surface, that Chiang Kai-shek agreed to release Ye Ting, Liao Chengzhi and others.
However, Chiang Kai-shek also had his conditions, one of which was to ask our army to also release a ** prisoner, he was Ma Fawu, who was then the deputy commander of the ** 11th Theater and the commander of the 40th Army.
Ma Fawu and Ye Ting are actually alumni who have studied together at the Baoding Military Academy, Ma Fawu is a cadet of the eighth phase, and Ye Ting is the senior brother of the sixth phase. In addition, their alumni of that period also included well-known generals such as Chen Cheng, Zhou Zhirou, and Luo Zhuoying.
After graduating from the military academy, Ma Fawu became a trainee platoon commander in the 15th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army. With his unique ideas and courageous fighting spirit, he quickly attracted the attention of veteran Pang Bingxun, and since then he has become Pang Bingxun's right-hand man.
During the warlord melee, Pang Bingxun's reputation was not good, and there were often defections and betrayals, and no one liked him. But during the Anti-Japanese War, Pang Bingxun seemed to be a different person and became a respected anti-Japanese general.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 40th Army Corps led by Pang Bingxun was stationed in Linyi, Shandong, facing the Japanese 5th Division, also known as the Itagaki Division, one of the Japanese aces known as the "Steel Army", and their aircraft artillery, Pang Bingxun showed the courage of the Chinese and resolutely did not retreat.
His subordinates advised him to retreat to protect the survival of his troops, but Pang Bingxun refused, saying: "I will resist the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese army with my flesh and blood, and defend the position to the death." ”
In the end, Pang Bingxun held his ground, and although the 40th Army Corps had less than a brigade of troops left, their heroic performance was admirable. Ma Fawu was a subordinate of Pang Bingxun, and he also showed outstanding talent and courage in the Anti-Japanese War, becoming a highly praised anti-Japanese general.
And the Japanese Lieutenant General Kimura Chiyota is one of Ma Fago's achievements.
In May 1944, Li Jiayu, commander-in-chief of the 36th Group Army, died bravely, and in order to take revenge, Ma Fawu ordered the whole army to wear white flowers and wrap white cloths, vowing to make Japan's blood debt repayable.
On May 27, the main force of the 40th Army, the remnants of the original 36th Army and the main force of the 4th Army led by Ma Fa Wu were assembled and immediately launched.
This sudden attack completely disrupted the Japanese army's plan, and the heavy Japanese army had to withdraw from the Battle of Lingbao. During the retreat, due to the close pursuit of the army led by Ma Fago, the commander of the 59th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Chiyota Kimura, was killed by a mine.
In ancient times, the Yellow Turban Army disturbed the Western Han Dynasty, and now there is the Baitou Army to destroy the Japanese army. However, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek once again provoked the war and launched the Battle of Handan, and Ma Fawu, then the deputy commander of the ** 11th Theater and the commander of the 40th Army, also became a victim of Chiang Kai-shek and was captured alive by our army.
Ma Fawu took a group photo with *** and others. Our army has great respect for this famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, personally entertained him, and put his heart into his heart. In the end, Ma Fawu was moved by the famous generals of our army and became good friends with them.
In March 1946, Ma Fawu returned to ** as an exchange for General Ye Ting. However, his heart was no longer on Chiang Kai-shek's side, so during the War of Liberation, he basically retreated to the second line and rarely fought with our army.
In 1949, when the overall situation of the world had been decided, due to family reasons, Ma Fawu first went to Hong Kong, and then to Taiwan the following year. He lived until 1992, at the age of 98, and died well.
