In any case, people must leave something for the future generations, and if these things can become a kind of shelter for future generations, they must be lucky. Qiu Qingquan (1902-1949), male, Han ethnicity, Zi Yu'an, Zhejiang Yongjia people, lieutenant general of the National Revolutionary Army (posthumously awarded the second rank general after the war), anti-Japanese patriotic general, is such a lucky person.
Qiu Qingquan has a maverick personality, is violent and arrogant, and fights without life, and is known as "Qiu Crazy". This, along with his profound cultural background, proficiency in English and German, good at poetry, and fondness for military scholarship and poetry creation, became the little thing he left for future generations, and fortunately became a kind of shelter for future generations after his death.
Qiu Qingquan became famous in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, and the nickname "Qiu Crazy Man" was also obtained in that battle.
The Battle of Kunlun Pass was one of the largest battles of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the battle of Guinan, in which the National Revolutionary Army put in the strongest combat strength. The main location is Kunlun Pass, a strategic point in Guangxi, China.
On November 15, 1939, the Japanese army landed at Longmen Port in the North Bay, and after capturing Qinzhou and Fangcheng, it invaded Nanning on the 24th with the strength of one division and one brigade and one regiment and one brigade and one regiment. On December 4, Kunlun Pass was occupied, and the Battle of Guinan began. The Nationalist government mobilized the strength of five armies in four theaters to participate in the Battle of Guinan to ensure the safety of the international communication line between Guiyue and Vietnam. The Fifth Army of the Central Army of the Thirty-eighth Army was ordered to attack Kunlun Pass, and fighting began in the early morning of December 18.
Qiu Qingquan was then the commander of the New 22nd Division of the Fifth Army, responsible for organizing and training new soldiers, and his superior was Du Yuming, deputy commander and acting commander of the Fifth Army. On December 16, the 5th Army launched a counter-offensive under the leadership of Du Yuming. Qiu Qingquan had been ordered to move to Changsha, but suddenly received orders to reinforce Kunlun Pass. He led his troops to turn around and go south, and on the same day, he went to the theater of operations, preemptively arrived at Wutang south of Kunlun Pass, decisively surprised the Japanese army, occupied Liutang, and cut off the Japanese retreat.
The Japanese army dispatched elite troops to reinforce Wutang, and Qiu Qingquan made a plan, with a regiment of troops to maneuver with the enemy's front, lure the enemy deeper, ambushed the main force on both sides of the mountain, and ordered the sappers to blow up the bridge between Wutang and Liutang. As a result, the Japanese army was overwhelmed by the Chinese army that rushed down from the high ground in the form of Mount Tai, and could only throw away its vehicles and heavy weapons, retreat to the mountains on both sides to hide, and the road was full of all kinds of vehicles, all kinds of light and heavy weapons, and the corpses of the enemy. Qiu Qingquan then commanded the armored troops to roar out of the mountain forest, driving full horsepower to rampage through the enemy position, as if they were chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
On December 30, the Fifth Army conquered Kunlun Pass for the third time, annihilating more than 5,000 people of the 21st Brigade, killing more than 85% of the non-commissioned officers above the squad leader of the 21st Brigade, and killing the commander of the enemy Major General' Brigade, Masao Nakamura. After the war, Qiu Qingquan was awarded the Baoding Medal of the Fourth Class, believing that this was the most enjoyable battle of his life, and could not help but give a poem:
Years twilight Ke Kunlun, the flag does not turn over.
Heaven opens to the earth, and the qi seizes the soul of Yamato.
Beacons are connected to mountain trees, and knife light is illuminated with bullet marks.
But with iron and blood, Hu Yu'an foot theory.
This year, Qiu Qingquan was 37 years old, which was the age of vigor. The way of culture and martial arts is one by one, and the way of life is also like this. Poetry, not everyone can write, so it can make people remember the names of those who can write poetry for a longer time. Although it was not intentional, the tenderness of the poem once warmed Qiu Qingquan's "crazy" heart, and people also remembered Qiu Qingquan's name of "madman" because of the poem. More importantly, people remember that Qiu Qingquan was once an anti-Japanese patriotic general.
In the Battle of Huaihai, facing the powerful People's Liberation Army, Qiu Qingquan's superiors were still Du Yuming, Qiu Qingquan was still "crazy" arrogant, and after the collapse of Huang Baitao's corps, Du Yuming led him and Li Mi and Sun Yuanliang to evacuate Xuzhou. At this time, he still had 100,000 men and horses under his command, which was the strongest corps in the Du group, and he had no fear, and he also said to the chief of staff, Li Hanping: "Now that the sea is wide and the sky is wide, let me fly high!" ”
This year, Qiu Qingquan was 46 years old, but he did not understand the principle of "rigid and easy to bend, soft and easy to bend", and wanted to "prefer to take in the straight, rather than ask for the song". It turned out that he was dead and killed.
At 3 p.m. on January 6, 1949, Su Yu concentrated 10 main columns of the East China Field Army and tens of thousands of artillery pieces to launch a general attack on Du Yuming's group. Qiu Qingquan, under the protection of the guard battalion, broke south and arrived at the command post of the 200th Division of Zhangmiaotang (also known as Zhangmiaotai) in the early hours of the morning, and finally died in a farmland about 400 meters southeast of Zhangmiaotang Village.
At that time, Qiu Qingquan was strafed by a long series of machine gun bullets, seven bullets in the chest, and the body was carried out by migrant workers, and it was identified that he was undoubtedly himself. The People's Liberation Army remembered his meritorious service in resisting Japan, buried him in a coffin, and erected a wooden plaque in front of his tomb, which read: "The tomb of Qiu Qingquan in Yueqing (Yongjia). ”
At this time, Qiu Qingquan's life was drawn to an end by a handful of yellow soil, but his descendants were a little luckier than others because of his "crazy" personality.
Qiu Qingquan has two wives, originally from the Huang clan, who are Qiu Qingquan's fellow countrymen. In 1920, the 18-year-old Qiu Qingquan married Huang according to the orders of his parents, and in 1923, he gave birth to a son, Guoxian. Later, Qiu Qingquan applied for the Whampoa Military Academy, threw pen from Rong, rarely returned home, and in 1929 Nanjing married Ye Ruijun, with 3 males: Qiu Guowei and Qiu Kunlun (another unknown); 2 daughters: Qiu Lina and Qiu Liwa.
After the liberation of Nanjing in 1949, Qiu Qingquan's two wives, Huang Shi and Ye Ruijun, fled with their six children, were recognized by the People's Liberation Army in Fujian, and were taken prisoner. The two ladies were very panicked, but the People's Liberation Army said that Qiu Qingquan had made meritorious contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance, and not only did not embarrass them, but also gave them preferential treatment. Told them they could go wherever they wanted, and issued them passes and tolls.
This scene deeply touched Qiu Guowei, who felt that he could fully trust the People's Liberation Army, and then made such a decision: to stay on the mainland, return to Shanghai to continue his studies, and complete his studies. Born in 1930, he was a 19-year-old student in the Department of Foreign Languages at St. John's University in Shanghai before fleeing with his family. Because of this decision, he separated himself from his mother and younger siblings, and his mother and younger siblings went to Taiwan, where they could only look at each other across the sea, and his life had a different scenery.
In 1952, after graduating from St. John's University, Qiu Guowei was assigned to the Shanghai Library to do the work of collecting and editing books in foreign languages. Here he met a girl and had a happy love. The girl is beautiful in appearance, has many suitors, and is still a descendant of Yuan Shikai, but only has a crush on him. The reason is that he is "honest" than others. After marriage, they had 3 children, but in the 1970s, the lady died of illness while taking students to the countryside to work, leaving him with her 3 young daughters.
Qiu Qingquan's son and colleague
Qiu Guowei suffered alone and silently, and a memoir written by a colleague said that he "lived in a fake three-story house on the other side of Liyang Road, and downstairs lived an old professor from the Fudan Chinese Department." He didn't say a word about all this" (Wu Zhongnian Ma Changlin, "The Son of Qiu Qingquan I Know Qiu Guowei", Century Magazine, No. 04, 2018), and he had to survive the hardships of life. In the 18th century, he went to Fudan Branch school as a part-time teacher and was promoted to deputy director of the Foreign Languages Collection and Editing Department. Later, his three daughters also went to the United States to study, and he also went to the United States to settle down.
After being promoted to deputy director of the Foreign Languages Collection and Editing Department, Qiu Guowei also served as a member of the sixth session of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but his colleagues said, "He himself is not interested in these things, he has never been interested in politics, so he has never been to a meeting." His mother, along with younger siblings, went to the United States shortly after taiwan and has been living in the United States ever since. In the 18th century, his mother Ye Ruijun returned to the mainland to visit relatives, and also visited Qiu Qingquan's cousin Qiu Qinghua in Hangzhou, but within a few years of returning to the United States, Ye Ruijun died. Therefore, he went to the United States to meet his relatives who had been separated for decades.
History, here becomes quiet, without the "madman". Lucky? Fortunately, people have a common respect for heroes in the great right and wrong - patriotism, which can be one person's luck or everyone's common luck!
Finally, it should be repeated that in the newly filmed "Armageddon", there is such a scene: Qiu Qingquan's troops are surrounded, he feels that there is no hope of breaking through, so he takes a tree in the courtyard and tells the two generals under him that this is to find a way for them and let them cut down the trees in the yard. The two generals did not want to dry because they had not eaten, and although the tree was cut down, they did not understand what he meant. Can cutting down a tree in a yard find a way out? Obviously, this is a fiction of the TV series, and Qiu Qingquan is not superstitious to this extent - the yard is often understood as "mouth", and the mouth of the wood is generally understood as "sleepy".
Qiu Qingquan's parents
To give you an example, it is a famous anecdote of Qiu Qingquan. After returning from studying in Germany, he fell in love with shepherds and brought back two. Later, he learned that the Sichuan warlord Deng Xihou loved to keep dogs, and his family had many Chongqing dogs, so he had to let his sheepdogs and Deng Xihou's Chongqing dogs win or lose.
Although the result of this dog fight is that Qiu Qingquan's two sheepdogs are invincible, one is killed and one is injured, it is not difficult to see from it that Qiu Qingquan is aggressive and cares about the military character of winning or losing, and a person who puts too much energy on this generally cares or does not notice "sleepiness". Therefore, qiu Qingquan's crazy personality as a soldier will not let Qiu Qingquan still have that kind of mind at the end of the road, and the shot about cutting down trees can only be laughed at.
