Liu Zhenxiang was a concubine of old Jiang. But before July 13, 1936, he was not.
Liu Zhenxiang was a native of Fangcheng, Guangdong (now Fangcheng, Guangxi), and was a fellow countryman of Chen Jitang, the "King of the Southern Heavens". Before he became an old Chiang Kai-shek, he was the commander of the 26th Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Guangdong Army's Independent Fourth Division (Ninth Division) with his compatriot Chen Jitang, but he was not a general in the Cantonese Army until 1929.
So, which political system did Liu Zhenxiang belong to before that?
Let's start with Liu Zhenxiang's participation in the revolution.
Liu Zhenxiang, at the age of 18, entered the fifth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, during his schooling, he was included in ye ting's independent regiment to participate in the Northern Expedition, in the Northern Expedition they fought a bloody battle, lian ke Chen Jiongming, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang and other warlords, it is precisely because he is not afraid of danger, brave in battle, was promoted by Ye Ting to be a company commander. In 1927, after chiang kai-shek betrayed the revolution, Liu Zhenxiang participated in the Nanchang Uprising with his troops.
As we all know, after the Nanchang uprising, the troops opened to the south, but as a result, they were scattered on the way, and Liu Zhenxiang was also left behind due to injuries. Later, he went all the way to the northwest, and as a result, he went through all kinds of hardships in Sichuan, and only returned to his hometown in 1929.
After returning to his hometown, Liu Zhenxiang was invited by Chen Jitang to join the Yue Army and served as a regimental commander in the Cantonese Army until July 13, 1936, when his hometown chief Chen Jitang went down for opposing Chiang Kai-shek.
Chen Jitang went down, and Liu Zhenxiang decided to defect to Old Jiang. One day, as a student of Whampoa, he took the Zhongzheng sword issued at graduation to meet the former Principal Jiang. Principal Jiang was naturally pleased to see the former students come to show their loyalty, and after a long conversation between teachers and students, Liu Zhenxiang became a loyal fan of Old Jiang and has since followed Old Jiang with all his heart.
Old Jiang said that the name Zhenxiang is good, and it has the meaning of being able to calm Hunan, so you should go to Hunan to participate in the War of Resistance!
Therefore, Liu Zhenxiang was sent to Hunan, first as the director of the office of the Hunan Provincial Government, and then transferred to the commander of the second regiment of a certain division of the Hunan Army, and turned to hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other frontal battlefields to resist Japan.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he successively served as a staff officer of the Staff Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the 9th Theater and the commander of the 2nd Volunteer Corps of the 9th Theater, the commander of the infantry of the 15th Division of the 73rd Army, the attached officer of the 3rd Supplementary Training Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the commander of the 468th Regiment of the 156th Division of the 64th Army, the deputy commander of the 156th Division of the 64th Army, and the commander of the Major General Division of the 156th Division of the 64th Army.
Liu Zhenxiang's worship of old Jiang can be described as a five-body thrown to the ground.
In the Battle of Huaihai at the end of 1948, the 64th Army of Liu Zhenxiang, then the commander of Lieutenant General Liu Zhenxiang, was the longest-lasting of the entire Huang Baitao Corps, and he refused to break through. On that day, putting on the general's gown of the Kuomintang generals, wearing medals, changing into new hats and boots, and getting dressed and ready to fight to the death, he said to all the officers present, "I will be loyal to the chairman of the committee!" ”
However, Liu Zhenxiang's final result was not to be loyal to the old Chiang Kai-shek, but to become a prisoner of our army and imprisoned in the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center, where he was educated and carried out ideological reform. As a loyal believer in the old Chiang Kai-shek, he naturally resisted in the process of reformation, so Liu Zhenxiang was pardoned as the last batch of war criminals until 1975.
Liu Zhenxiang returned to his hometown after being pardoned, and he successively served as a commissioner of the Guangxi CPPCC Secretariat and a member of the CPPCC National Committee. In 1986, Liu Zhenxiang died at the age of 80.
