During the Republic of China period, there were three military experts who could be called military experts in the national military system. According to talent, the first person in the ranking is Qian Xuesen's elder brother-in-law, Jiang Baili, the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, and the third is Bai Chongxi, who is known as Xiao Zhuge Ge. The figure that Uncle Long wants to talk about today, his military talent is above Bai Chongxi, below Jiang Baili, ranking second, he is Yang Jie, a general in the army and president of the army university.
Speaking of this Yang Jie, he is a native of Dali, Yunnan, born in 1889. This man was talented and intelligent, and the books he read never forgot, and he often asked his husband in the academy. At the age of 16, Yang Jie wanted to go to Beijing Normal University, but unexpectedly missed the examination period, so he was admitted to the Yunnan Army Accelerated School as soon as he transferred the examination, and began his military career.
Because of Yang Jie's excellent studies, he soon entered the Baoding Beiyang Army Officer Academy, and was later sent by the Qing government to the Army Non-Commissioned Officer School in Tokyo, Japan to study military affairs. During his studies in Japan, Yang Jie not only joined the League, but also got to know Old Jiang, who later became a big man in the National Army.
Yang Jie returned to China in 1911, just in time for the Xinhai Revolution, and successively served as the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Weiwu Army of the Shanghai Army, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Qian Army, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Qian Army, the chief of the cavalry section and Japanese instructor of the Yunnan Daowutang, the commander of the 1st Column of the National Guard Army, the chief of staff of the 4th Army of the Patriotic Army and the commander of the Southern Syrian Garrison, and the commander of the 1st Echelon Regiment. When leading the soldiers to fight, Yang Jie paid great attention to the regularization and reorganization of the team, and once he beat Up Yang Sen, who liked to smoke a lot, and pulled him out to show the public, forcing Yang Sen to quit smoking.
In 1916, Yang Jie was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and for a time he served as a military advisor and adviser to the War Department of the Beijing Presidential Office, but because he was not accustomed to the decay of the official field in Beijing, he returned to Yunnan to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Central Army of the Jingguo Coalition Army and the commander of the Luzhou Garrison, and the later Marshal of New China, Zhu Laozong, was still his subordinate at that time.
In 1921, Yang Jie went to Japan as a student in Yunnan Province, and in order to enter the Japanese Army University and pursue his dream of being a military scientist, he gave up the title of lieutenant general (because the Japanese government at that time had strict restrictions on the qualifications of candidates for army universities, one of which was that the rank of lieutenant and lieutenant colonel could only be applied for the examination), and was admitted to the Japanese Army University for fifteenth period of further study with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
During his time at the Japanese Army University, Yang Jie studied diligently and assiduously, and the level of military theory was greatly improved, and marshal Joseph Xiafei, a famous French military scientist, once commented on him: "This man will become an outstanding military talent in East Asia!" ”
After returning to China, Yang Jie first served as chief of staff in Feng Yuxiang's 3rd Army of the Nationalist Army, then went to Guangzhou to join the National Revolutionary Army, served as the general counselor of the 6th Army, and participated in the Northern Expedition. During this period, he successively served as the commander of the 17th Division of the 6th Army, the acting commander of the 6th Army, and the commander of the 18th Army.
During the Central Plains War, Yang Jie served as the chief of the general staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force Headquarters, and assisted Lao Jiang in winning the Central Plains War, thus winning the trust of Lao Jiang. Later, Chiang Kai-shek made him president of the Army University and later deputy chief of staff of the Central Military Commission. During this period, he not only trained a large number of military talents for the anti-Japanese resistance, but also wrote military works such as "The Study of The Commander of the Army" and "The Key points of war".
So, how did the later Yang Jie get into a stalemate with Lao Jiang's relationship, and why did Lao Jiang later do something to him?
First, after the Lugou Bridge Incident occurred, Lao Jiang set up a base camp for the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and Yang Jie thought that his talent could fully serve as the chief of staff of the base camp, but as a result, the position of chief of staff allowed He Yingqin to sit on, and Old Jiang made him the head of the inspection delegation to the Soviet Union in order to win the assistance of the Soviet Union.
Second, when Yang Jie was the head of the inspection group and ambassador in Su, although he made great contributions to winning soviet assistance, when he proposed to Old Chiang the idea of a joint Soviet War of Resistance, Old Chiang not only ignored it, but also gave him a copy of "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzheng" for him to read carefully, and he was so angry that he beat three mahjong in a row.
Third, Yang Jie wrote millions of words of military masterpieces such as "New Theory on National Defense" and "Military and National Defense", but there are many shadows of Soviet military theory in the content, which also has to make the old Chiang Kai-shek suspicious, and the relationship between the two has become more and more rigid.
Especially after 1948, Yang Jie's position had changed from pro-Chiang Kai-shek to anti-Chiang Kai-shek, and he became the leader of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee in the southwest region, devoting himself to instigating the uprising of the powerful factions in the Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Kang regions.
In July 1949, evidence that Yang Jie sent his secretary to plot against the head of a regiment of Liu Wenhui's department accidentally fell into the hands of the secret agents of the military command, and after Mao Renfeng relayed it to Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang issued an arrest warrant. However, because Lu Han's protection was difficult to catch Yang Jie, the old Jiang, who was embarrassed and angry, upgraded the arrest warrant to a hunting order.
In September 9, 1949, after Yang Jiemi's departure to Hong Kong was learned by Mao Renfeng, he secretly ordered the agents to pursue and kill him. On September 18, 1949, secret agents of the military command carried out an assassination in Hong Kong against Yang Jie, a famous military figure during the Republic of China period.
Yang Jie, the famous military man, fell at the age of 60.
He was the commander of the Nationalist Army, and when he got the news, he immediately sent troops to the trade union peasant association to arrest more than 80 people
When he was 16 years old, he saw a group of soldiers walking past the field, threw down the hoe and followed, and later
