The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years and has a long history. In this vast land of Shenzhou, dozens of dynasties rose and fell.
The great events of the world will be divided for a long time, and whenever the dynasties change, the rebellion will always be endless. In the period of feudal dynasties, the success of the uprising soared, money and power were in the hands, and the failure was bound to be a different place, connecting the nine tribes.
In modern times, unlike feudal society, uprisings, surrenders, and surrenders do not necessarily represent death.
For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, in addition to the generals who already supported our Party, there were many generals in our army who abandoned the dark and surrendered to the light and followed our army, and these generals either revolted in the enemy army, or surrendered directly, or were defeated and captured. Their actions have depleted the common strength of the Chinese nation and contributed to the reunification of the motherland.
During the war, for the sake of national liberation and the expulsion of the Tartars, the Chinese nation paid tens of millions of lives, and the masses of the people suffered a lot of trauma, and at that time, the casualties of the army were also very heavy, and a large number of young people threw themselves into the revolutionary battlefield, and due to the continuous deterioration of the domestic situation, the Kuomintang government began to forcibly recruit troops throughout the country, which also made the Kuomintang army full of contradictions.
After the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek disregarded the people's war-weariness and provoked a new war, which made the people of the whole country complain, and during the period of the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang army already had a million troops, but the actual number of people killed in the war after the war was only about 300,000, that is to say, about 70% of the Kuomintang troops were either disbanded on the spot or directly joined our army.
"If you win the hearts and minds of the people, you will win the world." The addition of these troops has greatly enhanced the strength of our army and eventually established a great new China.
These troops and generals who revolted, surrendered, or surrendered made great contributions to our Party, and although they all belonged to the generals of our army, their treatment was also different according to their wartime performance after our army's victory in the liberation of the whole country.
General of the uprising
Insurrection, surrender, and surrender are generally meant to be from one camp to the enemy camp. Among the three, however, the initiative of the uprising is the highest, because the uprising is based on ideals and beliefs or certain interests, and it is a military operation that actively throws itself into the enemy camp, is not affected by the external environment, and has nothing to do with the quality of the battlefield situation.
In our army, Cheng Qian, Liu Fei, Lu Han, Liu Wenhui, Chen Mingren, Fu Zuoyi, Tao Zhiyue, Dong Qiwu and others were all rebel generals. Because of the positive significance of the uprising, the generals of the uprising in our army generally have a very high treatment.
During the Northern Expedition, Chen Mingren was famous and had outstanding military achievements. Before the war began, he personally led the army to resolutely defect to our army, and this kind of behavior belonged to the active uprising, and the generals and troops could enjoy high treatment, and the troops originally led were directly retained as an establishment, and the subordinate units continued to accept the leadership of the rebel generals.
Chen Mingren's original unit was directly awarded the regimental banner by the head of our army, and this positive act of uprising also made Chen Mingren basically no different from "his own people", and he also became an important general of our army, making great contributions to the liberation of the people and the liberation of all of China.
Similar to Chen Mingren, Liu Fei and Cheng Qian, both of whom defected to our army very early, and their troops were also retained by our army, and they all gained their due status after the founding of New China. Chen Mingren was awarded the title of founding general, and Liu Fei and Cheng Qian also became cadres at the zhengguo level.
Surrendered generals
Surrender also refers to throwing oneself from the enemy camp to our camp, but the initiative of surrender is not as good as the uprising, so the surrender is one notch lower than the uprising. Generally speaking, when the battlefield is in an unfavorable situation and cannot take the initiative to break out, in order not to make unnecessary sacrifices and resistance, the general chooses to throw himself into the enemy camp.
From the description, we can find that unlike the uprising, which is completely active, surrender, although there is a little active factor, is basically a passive choice based on objective conditions.
One is before the engagement, one is after the engagement, one is based on its own and the other is based on objective conditions, the two still have a big difference, in our army Zheng Dongguo, Li Wen, Ma Hongbin, etc. are surrendered to our army, compared to the generals of the uprising, their treatment is also worse.
In addition to the generals of the army, their troops are also handled differently, first of all, the original regimental structure cannot be retained, and officers and soldiers need to receive education and training.
After completing the education and reform, the soldiers will be dispersed into various units, most of the officers will also be dispersed, and a small number of officers can stay in the original unit to assist the military commander.
During the Liaoshen Campaign, the troops led by Zheng Dongguo were surrounded by our army layer by layer, but they still held out in Changchun for several months, but with the passage of time, the city gradually ran out of food. In order to save the lives of his brothers and avoid more innocent casualties, Zheng Dongguo finally announced his surrender to our army, but this surrender was still caused by objective conditions.
Li Wen and Ma Hongbin also surrendered to our army based on the situation, and there were also different treatment between the generals who surrendered to our army according to their later changes in thinking and their contributions to our army.
Although it is not as good as the treatment of the rebel generals, those who are actively patriotic and ideologically closer to our army can also achieve the vice-national level, and even if they are ideologically outdated, they will not be treated as their own people to arrange work, but they will not be treated as war criminals.
A general who surrenders
Surrender is similar to surrender, but one of the two is to actively lay down weapons, the other is to passively lay down weapons, surrender has no initiative, it is completely passive behavior, so it is also the lowest grade of the three methods, generally it is a situation that occurs when the troops have run out of ammunition and have lost their combat effectiveness.
The generals who surrender are basically equivalent to being defeated and captured, but the treatment of these surrendered generals is also different from that of ordinary prisoners. The representative figures of the generals who finally surrendered and were captured were: Wang Yaowu, Du Yuming, Liao Yaoxiang, Huang Wei, Song Xilian, Shen Zui and others.
However, due to passive surrender, the troops of these generals will not be able to enjoy various preferential treatment, the formation will be abolished, and the soldiers can only be treated as ordinary prisoners, and after receiving education and reform, they will be disbanded in situ or merged into the various units of our army.
Our army adheres to the humanitarian point of view and has always adhered to the tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners, so although the treatment of these surrendered generals is not as good as that of the rebel generals and ordinary surrendered generals, they have not received any disadvantage in their living treatment.
Not only that, our party took care of their lives in every way, and spent energy to heal many surrendered generals.
In order to reverse their backward thinking, our party also conducted concentrated study and education for them, and some people gradually changed their thinking during the study period, some became experts in literature and history, and some became members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which made great contributions to the later development of our party, such as Du Yuming, and so on; while some people did not repent of their deaths, and finally could only continue to reform and study in the war criminal management center, such as Huang Wei and others.
The same is Chinese
During the Period of the War of Liberation, about a thousand Kuomintang officers at all levels joined the camp of our army one after another, and there were about 900,000 soldiers in the army, all of whom made different contributions to the country and the people.
Our Party upholds the spirit of humanitarianism and gives preferential treatment to any army, and according to their different choices, they also have different life experiences.
And whether it is the generals who revolt, surrender or surrender, they all have their own values, the uprising is glorious, surrender and surrender are not shameful, people have the desire to survive, but also have their own ideals and beliefs.
Whether it is to fight for one's own ideals and beliefs, or to lay down their arms and surrender for their brothers and families, this is a great courage and responsibility.
brief summary:
We cannot unilaterally comment on these generals, but for whatever reason, their act of joining our army and abandoning the dark and casting light is still worthy of recognition, and they still make their own contributions to the liberation of the Chinese nation.
We naturally encourage the heroes of the uprising, but we also respect the preciousness of life, the Chinese nation has been flowing for five thousand years, flowing with the hard-working and enterprising blood of the descendants of Yanhuang, we have dreams, pursuits, and our own persistence.
But in any case, the same descendants of Yan Huang, why do we have to decide whether to live or die, our blood is flowing with Chinese blood, our chests are beating with Chinese hearts, we are all members of the great homeland of the Chinese nation, and the spirit of unity and mutual assistance needs to be remembered by each of us.
Unity is strength, we Chinese arm in arm, you have me, I have you, together towards China after the storm, looking forward to a better future.
