He was a fierce general under General Zhang Zizhong. His name is Li Jiusi, and he is a native of Deng County, Henan.
Speaking of the relationship between Li Jiusi and General Zhang Zizhong, it can be regarded as deep.
When Li Jiusi was 20 years old, he joined Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army and served as a soldier in the fourth company of the first battalion of the 16th Mixed Brigade Supplementary Regiment, and the company commander was Zhang Zizhong. Zhang Zizhong was later promoted all the way, and he has always been under Zhang Zizhong's command, successively serving as the captain of the pistol team of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division, the battalion attached to the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment, the deputy brigade commander of the 18th Brigade, and the commander of the Special Service Regiment.
In 1931, the Northwest Army was incorporated into the National Revolutionary Army, with General Zhang Zizhong as the commander of the 38th Division of the 29th Army and Li Jiusi as the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 226th Regiment of the 38th Division. It was for more than a decade that Li Jiusi had been following Zhang Zizhong from birth to death, and General Zhang recommended him to take the examination of the Army University.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Under the leadership of General Zhang Zizhong, Li Jiusi participated in the Battle of Linyi and fought against the Japanese Banyuan Division; later participated in the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Suizao and the Battle of Zaoyi, during which Li Jiusi led his troops to carry out white-knife battles with the Japanese army many times, and the battle scene was particularly tragic and fierce.
On May 16, 1940, General Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 33rd Group Army, Li Jiusi's old commander, was martyred, and Li Jiusi served as the commander of the 38th Division of General Zhang's starting division.
Since then, Li Jiusi and his troops have successively participated in the Battle of Southern Henan; later moved to Hubei, participating in the operations of the Second and Third Battles of Changsha; the Battle of Western Hubei and the Battle of Changde, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Jiusi's 33rd Group Army was ordered to be reorganized into the 3rd Appeasement District, and Li Jiusi still served as the commander of the 38th Division of the 59th Army, and was later promoted to deputy commander of the 59th Army. The deputy post in the national army sequence is actually a fictitious post, and the work without specific responsibility is actually deprived of military power.
In 1948, when our army launched the Huaihai Campaign, a major event occurred in Li Jiusi's 59th Army: Zhang Kexia and He Jifeng, deputy commanders of the 3rd Suijing District, led three and a half divisions and more than 23,000 officers and men to revolt in the defense of Jiawang and Taierzhuang on November 8, 1948.
And this Li Jiusi was completely unaware of this uprising event beforehand, and it was not until after the incident that he did not know that such a big thing had happened. As a result, Li Jiusi, who had no soldiers under his command, could only be transferred to the 13th Corps to continue to be a lieutenant general and deputy commander, and later simply lived in Nanjing.
After the liberation of Nanjing, Li Jiusi did not consider surrendering, but prepared to flee to Shanghai, but he was caught by our army only in Suzhou and sent to the Suzhou Military Control Commission Teaching Group to study, and later transferred to Beijing Fushun and other places to receive study and reform, until the last batch of war criminals was pardoned in 1975.
Because Zhang Kexia and Li Jiusi were good friends, after Li Jiusi was released and returned to Beijing, Zhang Kexia often visited him. Li Jiusi looked at his former colleagues and friends, thinking of the difficult years when he had lost his freedom for 26 years, and couldn't help but complain, you were uprising at that time, why don't you tell me, otherwise I will participate.
Zhang Kexia said helplessly that the uprising could not be publicized. At that time, I also hinted at you many times, and you just failed to understand. I didn't tell you a moment before the incident because the time was too tight, and ten minutes later there would be a problem.
Later, Li Jiusi was arranged to settle in Nanjing, serving as a commissioner of the Secretariat of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Nanjing Municipal Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, and a member of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In short, he still had a good death.
