We all know that after the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Liaoshen, and the Battle of Pingjin, Chiang Kai-shek lost the initiative on the battlefield and finally retreated to the isolated island, however, in these wars, many generals of the Nationalist army became prisoners of our army, but our party did not kill them, or they had an opportunity to reform themselves.
For example, in 1959, people like Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Song Xilian, Chen Changjie, etc., because of their good performance, also realized their mistakes and received amnesty, they were also the first batch of amnesty personnel.
Until the last batch of amnesty personnel, that is, in 1975, in the last batch of amnesty personnel, there was a senior general of Huangpu, because people were stubborn, did not know how to be sleek, and recognized the reason of death, just like the stones in the pit were smelly and hard, especially in the war criminal camp, never saying a bad word about their principal Chiang Kai-shek. He is "Huang Wei".
Huang Weijiang, a native of Jiangxi, graduated from Huangpu I, was actually a classmate of Fang Zhimin, an early revolutionary martyr of our party, and he was a fellow countryman, and it was precisely on his introduction that Huang Weicai went to the Huangpu Military Academy as a student and became a first-term student, and became a classmate with Hu Zongnan, Du Yuming and others.
After graduation, Huang Wei was assigned to the Eighteenth Army, and everyone knew that this army was Chen Cheng's beloved unit, and if he could be assigned to the Eighteenth Army, Huang Wei was destined to become a general of Chiang Kai-shek's concubine.
Later, because of his military achievements, he won the love and trust of Chen Cheng, was promoted to the commander of the 31st Brigade, and since then became a member of the civil engineering department, and participated in the Battle of Songhu, in this battle, a regimental commander of the 31st Brigade he commanded was killed, two were seriously injured, the battle was fought at the end, even the clerks and cooks went up with guns, and Huang Wei, who insisted on his position for a week, was transferred to the rear to rest. After this battle, Huang Wei was promoted to commander of the Eighteenth Army, and led the army to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and in 1939, he moved to the Western Yunnan Battlefield.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Huang Wei was transferred to the Headquarters of the Command as deputy commander-in-chief, and he also knew that this was a fat difference, so Chiang Kai-shek handed it over to Huang Wei, who knew that Huang Wei was a man, who did things and accepted death, did not pull together gangs and factions to form parties for personal gain, talked about principles and did not pay attention to human feelings with his peers, no matter who it was, he had to act according to the regulations, never favoritism, if placed in ancient times, he was definitely a clean official.
However, on the eve of the Battle of Huaihai, Chiang Kai-shek decided to establish the 12th Corps on the basis of the 18th Army, and at that time, Chiang Kai-shek originally let Hu Lian take the position of commander, but because Of Hu Lian and Bai Chongxi's discord, he let Huang Wei take charge. Later, we all know that in the Battle of Huaihai, the 12th Corps under the command of Huang Wei was annihilated by Nakano, and he himself became Nakano's prisoner.
From then on, he began his career as a prisoner of war, and in the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center, he was still disobedient, a bit like Wen Tianxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty, refusing to admit his mistakes and surrender. Others read progressive books and wrote about their experience in reading and reforming, and he recited Yu Qian's "Lime Chant" on the side; when others confessed their crimes, he did not write a word without saying a word; others scolded Old Chiang Kai-shek, and he never said a bad word about Chiang Kai-shek in a prisoner-of-war camp. That's why he became the last Whampoa general to be pardoned.
After Huang Wei received the amnesty, he was immediately assigned to work in the Literature and History Data Research Committee as a commissioner of literature and history, and died of a heart attack on March 20, 1989, at the age of 85.
