In the War of Liberation, some of the generals of the Chiang army chose to revolt or surrender, avoiding the loss of life and making meritorious contributions to the people. However, there were also some generals who were stubborn and insisted on being loyal to Chiang, and even died in the line of duty.
These seven generals sacrificed many lives for personal fame and fortune, and they are sinners of history. However, after the Battle of Yichuan, Mr. Peng showed respect to a Chiang general who committed suicide and ordered his body to be protected.
This general is Liu Ji, the commander of the 29th Army.
Liu Huan, a Huangpu first phase student born in Changde, Hunan Province in 1906, is known as one of the brightest generals in the first phase of Huangpu. Compared with Wang Yaowu's many meritorious contributions, he was better in terms of promotion speed, and in 1933 he became a division commander, and Wang Yaowu was still a brigade commander.
Under Wei Lihuang, he was known for his "tendon" characteristic, because he would take the lead on the battlefield. His heroic performance was also reflected in the "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army and the Great Wall War of Resistance, especially in the Great Wall War of Resistance, when he sent the health soldiers, cooks and guard companies to the battlefield at critical moments, which impressed the Japanese army.
His bravery was appreciated by Chiang, and he was later promoted to commander of the 93rd Army. Wang Yaowu, who was two years older than him, was promoted to commander of the 74th Army two years later. Although Liu Jian is a famous general, in front of Mr. Peng, his performance is slightly inferior.
In February 1948, the troops under the command of Peng of the Northwest Field Army fought a life-and-death struggle with Hu Zongnan's Jiang army at Yichuan City. Mr. Peng led two columns to surround Yichuan City, and the other two columns set up pocket formations in the southwest of Yichuan, waiting for Hu Zongnan's reinforcements to drill into the pockets in order to "encircle the point and send reinforcements".
At that time, the 24th Brigade of the Jiang Army was stationed in Yichuan County, and the brigade commander Zhang Hanchu was surrounded by Xu Guangda's 3rd Column and Luo Yuanfa's 6th Column of the Northwest Field Army. He panicked and immediately asked Hu Zongnan for help.
Hu Zongnan urgently ordered Liu Huan to lead the reorganization of the 27th and 90th Divisions, a total of 4 brigadesMore than 40,000 people went to the rescue, and Mr. Peng ambushed 60,000 people. With 60,000 people in ambush, it is difficult to be unaware.
Liu Jian also knew that there might be a pocket array laid by our army on Wazi Street in Yichuan, but he still drilled into it. Liu Jian is a fierce general, not to be underestimated. He served as the commander of the integrated 29th Army in the Liberation War, and once led tens of thousands of troops to Yan'an, so that the Yan'an organs had to be transferred.
Liu Huan's Whampoa Military Academy was not in vain, he saw Mr. Peng's strategic intentions, and couldn't help but hesitate, should he continue to move forward? He was lost in intense thought.
Hu Zongnan sent three telegrams in succession, urging Liu Huan to rush to the aid of Yichuan. After receiving the telegram, Liu Jian was conflicted in his heart and didn't know what to do. He knew that he might lose all his possessions, but if he didn't move forward, he would have to accept the punishment of military justice.
In the end, he could only choose to carry out the order, although he was not less senior than Hu Zongnan, both of whom were in the first phase of Huangpu, and Liu Jian was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun and the position of division commander for his great contributions to the Great Wall War of Resistance and the Battle of Xinkou.
In contrast, Liu Jian always "drops the chain" at critical moments. At the beginning of 1940, when he led the 93rd Army to garrison Yangcheng and blockade the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, he encountered a problem.
Under his hen lurks a member of our underground organization, named Wei Wei (Daytime), who is the chief of staff of the military department. Under Wei Wei's influence, Liu Hu received and supported members of underground organizations and progressives in his jurisdiction, and secretly helped the Eighth Route Army with military supplies.
However, in the eyes of the Chiang camp, this is "serious in nature". Wei Wei's membership in the underground organization was finally discovered by the military commander's spies, and Jiang was furious and sent two secret telegrams to Liu Jian one after another, asking him to send Wei Wei to the ** training group for training.
Liu Jian understood that if he handed over Wei Wei, the other party would definitely be more than lucky. He hesitated again and again, and did not give in to Chiang, but adopted a strategy of delay. The core idea of the new copy is still that Liu Huan, although he was conflicted in his heart after receiving Hu Zongnan's urgent telegram, finally chose to carry out the order, even if it meant that he could lose everything.
Liu Huan's choice stems from the righteousness and righteousness in his heart. He knew that Wei Wei was in danger, so he chose to send him away to keep him safe. Although doing so might have cost him Chiang's trust and possibly even his own future, he still stood by his beliefs.
At the send-off banquet, he affectionately expressed his friendship and understanding for Wei Wei. He said their feelings were genuine and he didn't want their friendship ruined by political differences.
In the end, he promised that during the Sino-Japanese War, his guns would never be aimed at his own people. However, Chiang was so angry that he revoked Liu from his military position and sent him to the Army University for training.
Liu Jian sat on the cold bench because of this, and his future was bleak. However, Hu Zongnan later interceded with Lao Chiang, and Liu Jian was able to make a comeback and serve as the commander-in-chief of the 36th Group Army.
Liu Hu firmly believed that Shi died for his confidant, and he gave everything for Hu Zongnan, including the execution of his urging orders. He was deeply saddened by the fact that he was not saved in the battle of Meng Lianggu, so he did not dare to slack off and immediately led his troops to Yichuan.
Although he knew that there were many difficulties ahead, he still chose to move forward without hesitation. Therefore, some believe that he was defeated by righteousness. But this is not entirely true, he actually lost to Mr. Peng's clever strategy.
Liu Jian has three roads to choose from from Luochuan to Yichuan, one is a big road, one is a road that is a little farther away but the road is in good condition, and one is a small road that passes through Shimiaoliang. However, Mr. Peng could only set up an ambush on one road, which made Liu Jian face great pressure and challenges.
Mr. Peng accurately judged Liu Huan's troop route, and he was like a god, showing the talent of a first-class military strategist. Liu Jian acted according to Mr. Peng's expectations, and could only be regarded as a second-rate military strategist.
On February 26, Liu Jian led his troops to reinforce Yichuan, but he stopped and stopped, appearing timid, and finally encountered an ambush by our army at night. He decided to fight a decisive battle with our army's blocking forces first, putting Yichuan's reinforcement mission aside, but this decision was contrary to Hu Zongnan's orders.
Liu Huan tried to contact Hu Zongnan, but Hu Zongnan went out in the evening and did not see the telegram in time. By the time he got back to headquarters, it was late. At this time, Zhang Hanchu's telegram for help also arrived, and Yichuan was about to be lost.
Hu Zongnan didn't see the time of Liu Huan's telegram clearly, scolded him, and made him desperate to advance towards Yichuan. Liu Jian felt a great responsibility, and decided to rescue Zhang Hanchu with a gloomy face, he knew what it meant, but he decided to sacrifice his life for the party-state.
Liu Huan's decision ultimately led to the destruction of him and his men.
Liu Huan's troops entered Wazi Street and fell into a heavy siege. The one-armed general He Bingyan led the Nishino One Column to intervene from the rear and cut off Liu Huan's retreat. The 29th Army was surrounded by our troops in a small area and embattled.
Liu Jian is faced with a life-and-death choice, is he going to break through the encirclement or choose to fight to the death? If he breaks through from the south, the possibility of successfully escaping is very small, and his fate will be very sad, and the Chiang clan will never let him go.
In the hesitation, the south has been sealed by the ** Nishino 2 vertical. In desperation, Liu Jian sent a plea for help to Hu Zongnan. However, Hu Zongnan's reply made Liu Jian cry and laugh: "Pei Changhui has been ordered to rush to the aid of the starry night, and Brother Wang's brother and others have inspired the soldiers and worked hard to support them, so as to build an immortal world." ”
Seeing Hu Zongnan's callback, Liu Jian sighed and sat down on the ground. However, Pei Changhui's corps was thousands of miles away in western Henan, and when he arrived, it was already late on the fifteenth day of the first month.
Liu Jian felt that he was dead, and finally sent a telegram of "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent". As soon as the telegram was sent, an earth-shattering shout of killing sounded around it: "Put down the **, surrender the gun and don't kill!" ”
In desperation, Liu Jian snatched a grenade from the guards and pulled it decisively. Hearing only the sound of "boom", Liu Jian shook and fell in a pool of blood.
Liu Huan and Yan Ming served as army commanders and division commanders in the reorganization of the 29th Army. Although Liu Jian made meritorious contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was still killed in the war. However, he was not the only general to be killed.
Du Yuming, Huang Wei and Liao Yaoxiang all survived the war and were reborn after transformation. Even the stubborn executioners such as Zhou Yanghao and Du Chaoqun were not killed.
However, when Mr. Peng faced Liu Hu's body, he still felt very emotional, because he thought Liu Hu was a man. Therefore, Mr. Peng ordered that Liu Huan's body should be protected, not hastily disposed of, and properly placed.
According to Mr. Peng's instructions, the troops wrapped the bodies of Liu Hu and Yan Ming with a white cloth of eight feet and buried them as tombs, and put up signs on them.
** (fourth from left), Zhang Zongxun (first from left), Zhao Shoushan (second from left) and Gan Siqi (third from left) jointly study the combat plan. The Xinhua Radio Station in northern Shaanxi, authorized by the front-line headquarters of the field army, broadcast the news that Liu Huan had died by a self-bombing, and the announcement said: "The body has been buried by our army in the mountains of three miles south of Yangdao Village in the west of Yichuan City. ”
Although Hu Zongnan felt very embarrassed, in order to appease his subordinates and the families of the deceased, he had to send someone to transport the bodies of Liu Jian and Yan Ming back.
