Who is he?
After the uprising with Fu Zuoyi, he changed from deputy commander of the Nationalist Corps to deputy commander of our army corps.
He is Ge Yanchun.
Ge Yanchun was a native of Liaoyang, Liaoning Province, who joined the Northeast Army at the age of 16, was admitted to the Northeast Lecture Hall, was sent to Japan by the young marshal after graduation to study military affairs, after returning to China as an instructor for a while, and was elected to the guard of the young marshal as a battalion commander, and later served as the commander of the 2nd regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 105th Division, the commander of the Zhang Xueliang Guard, and other positions.
After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Ge Yanchun was ordered to lead the 327th Brigade to reinforce the Hebei Battlefield, and engaged in an encounter with the 10th Wing of the Elite 10th Division of the Japanese Army in Cangxian County, Hebei Province, and the two sides fought fiercely for several days, and finally lost the battle. Although this battle was lost, the Northeast Army still had a fairly strong will and determination to resist the Japanese.
After the Battle of Songhu began, Ge Yanchun was ordered to lead his troops to the front line from Fengjing to Jiashan in Shanghai to block the attacking Japanese troops, as soon as they arrived in Shanghai, they were thrown into the battlefield, the battle was extremely fierce, Ge Yanchun's 109th Division was almost completely destroyed, 4 regimental commanders were killed 3, only one-third of the battalion commanders were still alive, and the troops were only forced to withdraw from their positions. When Ge Yanchun, who was seriously injured, saw his comrades around him fall down one by one, he felt very ashamed and wanted to raise a gun to commit suicide, but fortunately he was stopped by the guards.
Later, Ge Yanchun was transferred from the front line to serve as an instructor in the Central Officers Training Corps, and was not sent to the military unit until after the surrender of Japan, first as deputy commander of security in Rehe Province, and then as chief of staff, deputy commander and acting commander of the 9th Corps of the Kuomintang Army.
Insert a trivia about the Kuomintang 9th Corps:
In history, the Kuomintang 9th Corps appeared three times, the first time was formed by Liao Yaoxiang Corps in January 1948, under the jurisdiction of the New 1st Army, the New 3rd Army, the New 6th Army, the 49th Army, the 52nd Army, the 71st Army 6 Corps and another 4 brigades, in October 1948 in the Black Mountain, Dahushan area was annihilated by our army, only one 52nd Army escaped.
The second appearance of the 9th Corps was in November 1948, they were expanded from the 13th Army, the commander was Shi Jue, the deputy commander Cai Jianming, Luo Zhenshao, Ge Yanchun, in December from Rehe to Beiping. In January of the following year, Shi Jue, Cai Jianming, and Luo Zhenshao left Beiping, and Ge Yanchun and others rebelled with Fu Zuoyi.
The third appearance was in July 1949, when they were rebuilt from the remnants of the former 11th Corps and 2 cavalry brigades, commanded by Sun Lanfeng, and revolted in Suiyuan in September 1949.
After the uprising of General Fu Zuoyi, the former personnel of the 9th Corps were absorbed into the 19th Corps of our army, so Ge Yanchun was appointed deputy commander of the corps, and then participated in the liberation of Taiyuan, Lanzhou, Ningxia and other battles, after which he successively served as the director of the remaining office of the 19th Corps of the Volunteer Army, and the instructor of the 1st and 2nd Senior Infantry Schools. In 1955, he applied for a job transfer and later served as a counselor of the Gansu Provincial Government.
Ge Yanchun, who changed from the deputy commander of a corps of the Nationalist army to the deputy commander of the corps of our army, has to be said to be a revolutionary change, a historic change, but unfortunately he died young at the age of 54.
