Shortly after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Central Military Commission abolished the Garrison Headquarters on the Eastern Section of the China-India Highway, and Huang Qixiang, as commander, returned to Chongqing, where Old Chiang added the rank of general in recognition of his exploits during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but in fact also revoked his military power. In fact, Huang Qixiang does not value any position of power, he just hopes that after so many years of anti-Japanese war, China can begin to recuperate and build a peaceful country.
As a result, he has repeatedly publicly expressed his opposition to the civil war and is full of hope for a peace agreement reached between the two parties in the Chongqing negotiations.
However, the development of things is not as Huang Qixiang wishes.
While negotiating, Old Chiang Kai-shek mobilized his troops to prepare for a large-scale attack on the Liberated Areas. Huang Qixiang was unwilling to participate in the anti-people civil war launched by Lao Chiang Kai-shek, but he had no way to save it, so he could only choose to avoid reality and take the initiative to ask to be the head of the military delegation in Germany. Old Chiang also hated huang Qixiang's occasional political opinions that did not conform to the will of the party-state to avoid him from causing a greater negative impact, so he agreed to let him go to Germany.
Having said such a large paragraph, everyone may not know what the origin of Huang Qixiang is?
Huang Qixiang was born in 1898 in Meixian County, Guangdong Province, graduated from the sixth artillery section of the Baoding Army Officer School, and returned to Guangdong in 1922 to participate in the democratic revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Successively served as the commander of the Guangdong Army, the commander of the division, and the commander of the Fourth Army, and successively participated in the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Expedition, the Southern Expedition, and the Northern Expedition, especially in the Northern Expedition War, he fought side by side with Ye Ting, the leader of the Independent Regiment, down the Liling, Keping River, and directly to Tingsi Bridge, and together with Ye Ting became the regimental commander who won the rank of major general and became a famous general of the Northern Expedition.
Due to different political views, Huang Qixiang and Lao Chiang from time to time had a rhythmic discord, so in the subsequent developments, he had to go into exile in Germany, during which time he proposed the establishment of a third political force that was both opposed to the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang and different from our party, that is, the later Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party.
Shortly after Huang Qixiang returned to China, just as the Songhu War of Resistance broke out, the Nineteenth Route Army was transferred to Fujian after its defeat in the Songhu War of Resistance, and the "Fujian Revolution" occurred and the Republic of China was established. Huang Qixiang supported this action and was elected chairman of the presidium of the congress. Everyone knows that this so-called "Fujian revolution" was immediately extinguished, and Huang Qixiang could only go into exile in Germany again.
It was not until a year before the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression that Huang Qixiang, who was in Germany, received a telegram from Chen Cheng, asking him to return to China to participate in the War of Resistance. Therefore, at the recommendation of Chen Cheng, lao Chiang first appointed him as lieutenant general Gao Sheng, and then deputy commander-in-chief of the Ninth Group Army, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Group Army, deputy director of the Political Department of the Central Military Commission, deputy director of the Military Training Department, commander-in-chief of the Twenty-sixth Group Army, commander-in-chief of the Eleventh Group Army and commander-in-chief of the Twenty-second Group Army, deputy commander of the Sixth Theater, and deputy commander of the Commander-in-Chief Department of the Expeditionary Force.
Therefore, from the past of Huang Qixiang mentioned above, he is still a more powerful character, and Huang Qixiang is also very handsome and is known as a beautiful man.
In June 1947, Huang Qixiang, who had no choice but to send a mission to Germany to escape reality, what happened afterwards?
It was the autumn of 1948, when our army was launching a comprehensive counteroffensive against the Kuomintang with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. Old Jiang, who was in a hurry, summoned Huang Qixiang back with a telegram. He told old Chiang Kai-shek about the international situation at that time, believing that only peace talks were the way out, but old Chiang's attitude completely disappointed him.
Of course, Old Jiang would not let Huang Qixiang and our party come together, so he said to Huang, "You should first go to Taiwan to see your old friend Chen Cheng!" Chen Cheng also advised him to bring all his family members to Taiwan. But Huang Qixiang knew that the rhythm of his life and Old Jiang was always out of tune, and they would not come together. So, after returning to Shanghai, he went to Hong Kong with his family and broke away from the control of the Kuomintang.
In August 1949, Huang Qixiang went north with his family under the arrangement of our party and participated in the great cause of the founding of our party. He successively served as a member of the Central and Southern Military and Political Commission and Minister of Justice, a member of the Bills Committee, a deputy director of the State Sports Commission, a member of the National Defense Commission, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and a vice chairman and secretary general of the Central Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party.
On December 10, 1970, General Huang Qixiang died of illness at the age of 72, which is deplorable.
