In the "Anhui Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries in 1941, Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, was captured, and deputy commander Xiang Ying and chief of staff Zhou Zikun were brutally killed by the Kuomintang, which not only undermined the relevant cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the anti-Japanese front, but also caused the New Fourth Army to suffer heavy losses. As the executor of the "Anhui Southern Incident", he was not only a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, but also followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan.
So, who is he? What happened to him after he went to Taiwan?
His name was Gu Zhutong. Born in Jiangsu Province in 1893, although his family was not wealthy, he received a good education from an early age, and was later admitted to the Army Officer School in Baoding, where he was an alumnus of Chiang Kai-shek. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, he joined the Kuomintang. In 1920, he also met Chiang Kai-shek, because the two graduated from the same school, and as soon as the two saw each other, Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to Gu Zhutong. Gu Zhutong was also under the care of Chiang Kai-shek, and his position continued to rise. Therefore, Gu Zhutong was very grateful to Chiang Kai-shek for his love and served Chiang Kai-shek even more deadly.
When Chiang Kai-shek established the Whampoa Military Academy in 1924, he also specially invited Gu Zhutong to serve as the school's tactical instructor. Because in the process of the Eastern Expedition, Gu Zhutong made many meritorious achievements, and was even more highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek also had special trust in Gu Zhutong, making him responsible for ensuring Chiang Kai-shek's safety during the Northern Expedition.
In 1930, he had already served as the commander of the Kuomintang First Army, and he made outstanding meritorious achievements in the Battle of the Central Plains. Later, the two parties began to cooperate in the anti-Japanese resistance, and he also made some contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, he launched the "Anhui Southern Incident" and directly arrested Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, and the deputy commander and chief of staff of the New Fourth Army were brutally killed by him, causing heavy losses to our army and also dealing a huge blow to China's anti-Japanese cause. This has also become a powerful evidence that the Kuomintang has undermined the anti-Japanese national united front, so that the people of the whole country can see the true face of Chiang Kai-shek's fake revolution.
During the Liberation War, with the vigorous support of the people throughout the country, the heroic battles of the soldiers of the whole army, and under the correct command of the generals of our army, the national army was defeated and retreated. Chiang Kai-shek could only choose to retreat to Taiwan, and Gu Zhutong, who was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, also fled with Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan. In the beginning, Chiang Kai-shek still trusted him very much and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities. Later, he was abandoned by Chiang Kai-shek and only allowed him to take an idle position, but he became a "general of the army" in the Nationalist army in 1954 and lived until the age of 94 before he died.
