Qiu Xingxiang's admiration for Old Jiang can be said to be old and five-body to the ground, and he is completely a hardcore fan of Old Jiang.
Who is Qiu Xingxiang? Let me give you an explanation.
Qiu Xingxiang was born in 1907 in Liyang, Jiangsu Province, and was admitted to the 5th phase of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1926. When he was in military school, he began to become a hardcore fan of Principal Jiang. Old Jiang was also very optimistic about him, and once said in front of other students, "Qiu Xingxiang is a model student of Huangpu, and he will definitely be a model general in the future, a model for all of you." ”
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Qiu Xingxiang served as the captain of the special task force of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army, and then went all the way up, and by the time the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full swing, he had served as the deputy brigade commander of the 201st Brigade of the 67th Division and the commander of the 402nd Regiment, and by the time of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he had been promoted to the commander of the 5th Division. He led his troops to participate in the Battle of Songhu and the outer operations to defend Nanjing, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's conquest of Burma, the Battle of Western Hubei, the Battle of Shipai Fortress and the Battle of Xiangxi, and he made immortal merits on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
Qiu Xingxiang bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield, but it did not affect his admiration for old Jiang in the slightest, and he took old Jiang as an example in both work and life.
For example, old Jiang is not addicted to tobacco and alcohol, and he does not smoke or drink; old Jiang always has a bald head, and he never grows his hair; old Jiang always stands up when he walks, does not smile, and he rarely shows a smiley face. What's even more funny is that Old Jiang likes to wear a big black coat, and Qiu Xingxiang also made two pieces specially, always draping it on his body. Over time, people gave him an appropriate nickname - "Little Old Jiang".
"Little Old Chiang" Qiu Xingxiang really won the attention of Old Chiang kai-shek in the victory of the War of Resistance, why? Because he showed his skills in the Siping Campaign in 1946, he was praised by Lao Jiang as "Qiu Tiger". To this end, in November 1947, he was promoted to major general of the 206th Division (equivalent to the army) of the Youth Army and commander of the Luoyang Garrison, stationed in Luoyang.
What is the Al-Shabaab? It is a unit founded by the authentic little old Chiang Ching-kuo, which is equivalent to the personal soldiers of Grand Duke Chiang. Therefore, before going out on the expedition, Grand Duke Jiang personally came forward to do the work for him. Qiu Xingxiang also swore an oath: "Swear to die to defend Luoyang, people in Luoyang, unsuccessful will become ren!" ”
In March 1948, the 3rd and 8th Columns of the Chen Tang Corps of the East China Field Army, the 4th and 9th Columns of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army, and the 5th Military Subdistrict of the Taiyue Military Region, with a total of 28 regiments, took advantage of the transfer of the Pei Changhui Regiment of the Kuomintang Army from western Henan and the opportunity of the emptiness of troops to launch the Luoyang Campaign.
Although Qiu Xingxiang led the Youth Army to resist hard, he was ultimately unable to defeat our army and became a prisoner of our army on the night of March 14, 1948.
After Qiu Xingxiang was captured, what was his fate?
As a prisoner of war, "Little Old Chiang" Qiu Xingxiang, after receiving hospitality from veteran alumnus Chen Geng and others, entered the War Criminals Management Center to undergo labor reform and ideological reform, and after 11 years of educational reform, he was pardoned along with 10 Kuomintang war criminals, including Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, and Chen Changjie. At this time, he was no longer an iron fan of old Chiang Kai-shek, and after his release, he did not seek to live in Taiwan.
In order to care for the lives of the former war criminals who have been reborn, our Party will arrange its work appropriately. As a result, Qiu Xingxiang returned to his hometown of Jiangsu as a member of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a commissioner of the Cultural and Historical Materials Committee.
Qiu Xingxiang, who had a stable job, also gained a love. Two years after his release from prison, the 54-year-old Qiu Xingxiang also married a woman who was 30 years old, and soon added a son.
Therefore, the hardcore fan of old Chiang, known as "Little Old Chiang", Qiu Xingxiang, who was captured in the Battle of Luoyang, had a happy ending.
On December 8, 1996, Qiu Xingxiang died at the age of 89.
