Du Yuming, a famous general in the Nationalist Army, was born in 1904, and his hometown was in Mizhi, Shaanxi. In June 1924, he was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and received very systematic military training, laying a good foundation for future leading operations. After leaving the school, he made military achievements in the course of the National Revolutionary Army's Crusade and was qualified for continuous promotion. He successively served as a company commander, battalion commander, regimental commander, division commander and other positions in the army, and participated in the Northern Expedition War, the Great Wall War of Resistance, and the Battle of Songhu. In 1939, Du Yuming was promoted to commander of the Fifth Army, and he led the troops to participate in the Battle of Guinan, commanding the soldiers of Kunlun Pass in Guinan to counterattack the Japanese army. During this period, he led everyone to severely damage the enemy's 5th Division, and made a great contribution to the motherland, when the Japanese 5th Division was known as the Steel Army, not only was the weapons and equipment more powerful, the quality of the soldiers was also excellent, And Du Yuming could lead people to defeat this unit, which can be said to be quite difficult.
What is sad is that Du Yuming did not follow the organization to carry out correct activities in time, but instead followed the Nationalist government to do a series of wrong things, and finally he was captured by our army and became a prisoner of the order, and was also sent to Gongdelin for reform, and he was not free until more than ten years later. The state knew that Du Yuming was an excellent talent, and after his release, he gave him many opportunities, and in 1978, he became a deputy to the 5th National People's Congress. In this post, Du Yuming shone brightly and made certain historical contributions to the development of new China. In May 1981, Du Yuming, who had been in the battlefield and was mighty, died of illness in Beijing at the age of 77. It is worth mentioning that before his death, Du Yuming was still questioning a former corps commander and asking him if you were undercover.
The commander of this corps, who made Du Yuming angry, was named Guo Rujie. A native of Tongliang, Sichuan Province, he was born into a family of scholars, and his father had long ago attacked the corruption and incompetence of the Beiyang government. Guo Rujie, who had been influenced by his father since childhood, was particularly bitter of the old forces such as the Beiyang warlords and was unwilling to join these people. When Guo Rugui grew up, the whole of China was in turmoil, and he knew that only by fully developing the military could the whole country be truly strong, so at the age of 18, he accepted the invitation of his friends and went to Guangzhou to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy. Later, he participated in the Northern Expedition and showed a certain military talent. After a while, he joined the revolutionary organization because of the recommendation of his classmates and became a glorious revolutionary worker.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, he did not leave in time, was forced to stay in the Sichuan Army, and finally ran to Japan to escape the chaos of the war. In 1931, the Japanese invaders launched the September 18 Incident and occupied northeast China, and the relations between China and Japan became worse and worse, so he did not continue to stay in Japan to study, interrupted his studies and returned to the motherland. In 1937, the ambitious Japanese invaders brazenly launched the Lugou Bridge Incident in an attempt to fully occupy China's land, pocket the whole of China, and realize their plan for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia. Guo Rugui especially hated the Japanese army, and he actively joined the army and followed everyone to carry out anti-war activities. Later, he was ordered to go to Shanghai to resist the Japanese army, and he fought with the enemy on the position for seven days and seven nights, preferring to die and refusing to yield, and finally successfully held the position and repelled the enemy.
Because of the victory of this battle, Guo Ruzhi became a famous general in the hearts of many people, and was also promoted and reused by the commander Chen Cheng, and promoted to chief of staff. After this, Guo Rugui continued to lead the army, he helped the troops to win the victory in the Wuhan area, and followed Xue Yue to participate in the 3rd Changsha Defense War. Throughout the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Guo Rugui can be said to have been fighting to the death, and his outstanding performance in the position was not only highly recognized by the common people, but also promoted and reused by the top level of the Nationalist government, and even Chiang Kai-shek, the top general of the Nationalist Army, had special trust in him and appointed him as the commander of the Lieutenant General Corps. At that time, the top level of the National Government was generally corrupt, and they did not have any restraint under the condition of tight materials on the front line, and they tried every means to loot the people's fat and people's ointment.
For example, Chiang Kai-shek's close confidante Dai Kasa has always used relatively despicable means to get money, and his home is full of rare treasures, gold bars and jewelry and other precious items. We often say that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and the top level of the National Government is generally particularly greedy, taking corruption and corruption as a matter of course, but Guo Rugui has not been corrupted, he has not been corrupted out of the mud, and in that environment, he has maintained a hard and simple fine style, not only has not been embezzled and corrupted, but also has two sleeves of fresh wind, and even the sofa at home has patches. Such a performance was very strange in the top echelons of the Nationalist government, and Du Yuming, as a senior general, was very suspicious of Guo Rugui's behavior, and he always felt that Guo Rugui was not a person loyal to the nationalist army, but an undercover agent sent from Yan'an, so he had been testing and squeezing Guo Rugui.
In this case, the relationship between the two is very bad, there are often contradictions and conflicts, even when fighting on the battlefield, the two often have disputes. The ancients often said that there are no two days in the sky, no two kings in the country, and if an organization is not harmonious internally, it is difficult to exert its full strength. Du Yuming and Guo Ruzhi always had contradictions and conflicts, and to a certain extent, they affected the combat effectiveness of the entire army and created many good opportunities for our army to attack. So is Guo Ruzhen undercover in the end? The answer is yes, we briefly mentioned earlier that Guo Rugui joined the revolutionary organization in his early years, although he was forced to go to Japan because of changes in the domestic situation, but he has always secretly maintained contact with the revolutionary organization and secretly provided confidential information to the organization.
For example, before the Outbreak of the Battle of Huaihai, Guo Rugui used his identity to collect a large amount of intelligence and secretly send all the strategies and tactical plans formulated by the top level of the Nationalist government to our revolutionary troops. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy will win every battle, our revolutionary forces themselves are brave and good at war, and after obtaining this important military information, they quickly formulated some measures against the weaknesses of the national army. After the two sides fought, the revolutionary forces soon gained a great advantage and won a brilliant victory. In this war, the 800,000 troops of the Nationalist army almost collapsed, of which 550,000 were annihilated and captured by our army, and even Du Yuming, who was in charge, was arrested and sent to prison for labor reform.
After Du Yuming was captured by our army, Guo Rugui led a corps and carried out a large-scale uprising in 1949, which helped our army quickly break the enemy's defensive line deployed in the southwest region and greatly reduced the casualties of the revolutionary organization. After returning to the revolutionary forces, Guo Rujie, because of the needs of his work and the background of the times, has always hidden his true identity and has not said his historical contributions to the motherland and the revolutionary contingent during the war. Because of this, Du Yuming never knew the truth, and he was grumpy about the defeat of that year, so until his death, he still questioned Guo Rujie and wanted to learn the truth of that year from him. In the face of Du Yuming's questioning, Guo Rugui chose silence, he did not admit what he had done, but silently sent him off.
Many people believe that Du Yuming had doubted Guo Rugui a long time ago, he actually had the answer in his heart, and when he questioned Guo Rugui before he died, he actually wanted Guo Rugui to give an answer personally, but unfortunately he did not get a definite answer until his death, and he must have a lot of regrets in his heart when he left. So what is the final result of Guo Rujie? After he returned to the team, he was mainly responsible for compiling the country's military history and the history of the frontal battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War. In his later years, Guo Ruhuai always enjoyed the treatment of a deputy corps commander, and his life was relatively stable. Sadly, this outstanding general, who had made outstanding contributions during the war, died in a car accident in October 1997 at the age of 90. The state highly recognized Comrade Guo Rugui's life, and at his memorial service, he gave a high appraisal, praising him for the thrilling twists and turns of his life, which were rich and profound, and his major historical contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation will be forever remembered by the state.
