Fu Zuoyi's ace army, the 35th Army, has served 4 commanders, who are they? How it ends
The 35th Army was Fu Zuoyi's starting force, belonging to the "trump card" of Fu's army, and in the Battle of the Central Plains, Fu Zuoyi held Zhuozhou with a brigade for a whole month against Zhang Zuolin's 100,000 troops, and later created the 35th Army with the brigade as the base.
Fu Zuoyi had a deep affection for this army, and for a full 13 years from 1931 to 1944, Fu Zuoyi served or concurrently served as the commander of the 35th Army, during which the establishment continued to expand, and finally the establishment of three divisions: the 101st Division, the newly organized 31st Division, and the newly organized 32nd Division was finalized. After Fu Zuoyi, the 35th Army served 3 more commanders, who were they, and what was the outcome?
The second military commander Dong Qiwu
Dong Qiwu, in his early years, applied for the Bin Ye School founded by Yan Xishan in Taiyuan, and was admitted as the first among the 7500 candidates in the province. After more than two years of military study, the results have been far ahead. However, near graduation, in order to take the anger of his beaten classmates, he offended the people of the Yan Xishan Overseer's Palace. With a straight nature, he refused to write a letter of repentance, resolutely left school, and began his military career.
In 1927, he participated in the Northern Expedition and served as the commander of the Northern Expedition Advance Column of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
In 1928, he joined Fu Zuoyi and successively served as a staff officer, regimental commander, brigade commander, division commander, and army commander.
After the "918" incident, he actively resisted Japan and led his troops to participate in the Great Wall War of Resistance and the Suiyuan War of Resistance, and was known as the "National Hero of The War of Resistance Against Japan". After the beginning of the all-out War of Resistance, Dong Qiwu led his troops to the Pingsui front, and then cooperated closely with the Eighth Route Army and participated in the famous "Battle of Pingxingguan" and "Battle of Xinkou".
In the "Battle of Xinyuan", he was injured in the arm by a Japanese shell, in order not to affect the morale of the army, he did not allow his voice, only a simple bandage still insisted on commanding in the line of fire.
In January 1949, after the peaceful liberation of Peiping, Dong Qiwu, who had already assumed the post of chairman of the Suiyuan Provincial Government, judged the situation and resolutely accepted the idea of peacefully liberating Suiyuan proposed by the Communist Party of China. With the help of Fu Zuoyi, he broke through many obstacles, and on September 19, 1949, he led the Suiyuan military and political personnel to electrify the uprising, pioneering the famous "Suiyuan Way" at that time.
In 1951, he led his troops to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, served as the commander of the 23rd Corps of the Chinese Volunteer Army, and successfully completed the airport construction and logistical vigilance tasks after going to Korea. He was awarded the rank of General in 1955.
The third commander, Lu Yinglin
This person is rather special; he is not only Fu Zuoyi's most trusted general, but also an old classmate of fu Zuoyi's classmates when he was studying at the fifth phase of the Baoding Military Academy, and Fu Zuoyi's chief of staff during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
However, in the Battle of Laishui, Lu Yinglin almost reimbursed all the 35th Army, he knew that he could not bear this responsibility, although he rushed out of the encirclement, he was frightened and insane, and he only said one word all day: "The Thirty-fifth Army, the Thirty-fifth Army started by the commander-in-chief, has been destroyed in the hands of Lu Yinglin!" ”
Two days later, when the surrounding subordinates were more relaxed in guarding him, Lu Yinglin raised a gun and committed suicide. When Fu Zuoyi learned of Lu Yinglin's death, he cried several times.
The fourth commander, Guo Jingyun
Guo Jingyun, the leading general under Fu Zuoyi, as the fourth commander of the 35th Army, the first three were the same Shanxi Township Party, and he was a Shaanxi native, which shows how much he was seriously affected.
Although he was born into poverty and had not read for a few days, because he was brave in battle and had the strength not to be afraid of death, his career was smooth. Shortly after becoming the commander of the 101st Division of the 35th Army, he became the commander of the division.
In January 1948, Lu Yinglin committed suicide after the defeat of Lu Yinglin in the Battle of Laishui, and Guo Jingyun took over as the commander of the army.
Lu's suicide shook him deeply, and he said in his "inaugural speech": "The 35th Army is a permanent victory army, and the commander of the standing victorious army is so good?" You division commanders, regimental commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders are not good messengers. The former commander has already set an example for us. If you lose someone to me, I will kill myself. ”
This really made Guo Jingyun say it. In the new security war, the 35th Army really lost people, and he really cut himself, and he did not eat the foreword.
At that time, when the 3rd Corps of North China was besieging Zhangjiakou, Sun Lanfeng's emergency telegram hit Beiping, and Fu Zuoyi's first thought was Guo Jingyun, who personally summoned him and asked him to rush to Zhangjiakou's aid. After the 35th Army was surrounded by new security guards, Guo Jingyun chose to hold his heart to death, and even if the letter of persuasion was delivered to him, it was torn to pieces.
The 156 cannons roared in unison, the shells rained down on the positions of the 35th Army, the east gate and the west gate were broken successively, and the multi-way spearhead of the North China 2 Corps pointed directly at Guo Jingyun's army headquarters, the breakthrough was hopeless, the dead defense could not be achieved, the reinforcements were indefinite, Guo Jingyun was completely desperate, and raised his gun to cut himself.
At this point, the 35th Army, which was known as the main force of Fu Zuoyi's "trump card", together with the Kuomintang party and government personnel who accompanied Zhangjiakou to the east, totaling more than 20,000 people, were all annihilated in the new security.
