The only one who was captured did not need to reform the generals of the Nationalist Army, and was promoted to lieutenant general in the Long March encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, and was appointed as a government official after the founding of the Country
In the War of Liberation, many generals of the Nationalist Army did not understand the current affairs, confronted the People's Liberation Army to the end, and finally lost and were captured on the battlefield; most of these senior generals of the Nationalist Army who were taken prisoners were sent to the War Criminals Management Center for study and reform.
However, there were also a few senior generals of the Nationalist Army, although they were defeated and captured on the battlefield, he not only did not enter the war criminals management center, but also directly became a member of the bureau and the director of the Transportation Department after the founding of the Country. He was Guo Xunqi, who was known as the first general of the Sichuan Army, and during the Battle of Xiangfan during the Liberation War, Kang Ze, commander of the Kuomintang 15th Appeasement District, and Guo Xunqi, the deputy commander, were captured together, and Kang Ze was sent to Gongdelin for reform, and Guo Xunqi made other arrangements, and then made meritorious achievements.
So, what exactly is Guo Xunqi? What is his connection with our army?
Guo Xunqi,Zi Yizhi,nicknamed Panda,Sichuan Shuangliu man,participated in the early years of recruits into Tibet, accompanied the army on the western expedition, successively served as platoon, company, battalion, regiment commander, and became the commander of the Seventh Brigade of the Sichuan Army. He has 2 nicknames, one is because of his long round face and round eyes, he is called a giant panda, and the other is called Mangwa because of his bravery in battle.
Guo Xunqi, who became the brigade commander, really made a name for himself in the Battle of Qingbanpo of the Central Red Army during the Long March in January 1935.
At that time, shortly after the Central Red Army occupied Zunyi, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops from All Directions to encircle the Zunyi area from all directions, preventing the Central Red Army from joining forces with the Red Fourth Front and the Red Second and Sixth Armies in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Red Army in the Chuanqian area north of the Wujiang River and south of the Yangtze River.
Faced with the grim situation of the enemy's large troops pressing the territory, the Central Red Army decided to enter Sichuan through the west bank of the Chishui River and cross the Yangtze River west of Chongqing, at this time, the army led by Guo Xunqi chased the Red Army to the area east of Tucheng, and occupied the hilltops around the Qingbanpo, and built many temporary fortifications of various sizes according to the mountain situation, in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Central Red Army.
At this time, the Red Army was faced with obstruction from the enemy in the front and pursuing troops in the rear, and the situation was very critical; in order to eliminate the arrogance of the enemy and open the passage to the north, the headquarters of the Red Army learned that Guo Xunqi only had 4 regiments of troops, immediately held an emergency meeting, and decided to annihilate Guo Xunqi's troops in one fell swoop at Qingbanpo, and then occupied favorable terrain and set up a decisive battle posture, and the battle of Qingbanpo officially began.
Qingbanpo, located about 3 kilometers northeast of Tucheng Town, Xishui County, Guizhou, a village, is a branch of Dalou Mountain, the mountain is steep, the mountains are undulating, the sides of the slope are relatively open, forming a narrow gourd-shaped valley, which is the throat of the Chuanqian Passage, and the only way from the Eastern Emperor of Xishui County to Tucheng is also here, which is a good place to fight ambush battles.
At dawn that day, the Red Army troops first launched a fierce attack on Guo Xunqi, and the two sides fought fiercely in the highlands of Shigaozui, Jianshanzi, Laoya Mountain, monkey ya, etc., without thinking that Guo Brigade occupied higher terrain in the south and desperately resisted, and the battle was extremely fierce. After several charges, the Red Army finally captured the position of the 8th Regiment of the Guo Brigade and immediately advanced towards Yong'an Temple.
Yong'an Temple was a small two-story temple at that time, it was Guo Xunqi's command post, at this time, Guo Xunqi personally led two regiments, attacked the Red Army with fierce firepower, broke through the position of the 5th Army, and fought all the way to the front of the Headquarters of the Military Commission of Baima Mountain, approaching Tucheng step by step, and the enemy fought more and more, the Red Army attacked for three or four hours and failed to expand the results of the battle, and the battle formed a tug-of-war, although the Red Army was very brave, all of them were ten, however, the enemy continued to flock to here, and the military situation was extremely critical! Because the Red Army did not dare to love the battle after suffering the setback of the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, it took the initiative to withdraw from the battle.
In the Battle of Qingbanpo, the Red Army annihilated more than 3,000 people in Guo Xunqi's department, and although the enemy was severely damaged, our army also paid a heavy price, and Zhao Yunlong, political commissar of the Fifth Red Regiment, and more than a thousand other Red Army soldiers died heroically. Today, there is a monument built in Qingbanpo Village, on which is written the Long Link: Qingshan buried loyal bones, the annals of history contain meritorious deeds, revolutionary martyrs, the great spirit of eternal survival, immortality; Chihe Yu Yingjie, liver and gallbladder illuminate the heavens and the earth, the children of the old district, inherit the past and open up, unswerving. General Zhang Zhen, who was wounded in the Battle of Qingbanpo and treated in a field hospital, inscribed the name of the monument "Monument to the Red Army Martyrs of Qingbanpo".
The battle of Qingbanpo greatly appreciated Chiang Kai-shek, who had been defeated repeatedly, and could not help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered the promotion of Guo Xunqi to lieutenant general division commander, commanded the model division of the Sichuan Army, and also gave him the title of a famous general in Sichuan.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Guo Xunqi went out of Sichuan to resist the War, in the 1937 Nanjing Defense War, led his troops to garrison Changxing and the west bank of Taihu Lake, blocked the sharp edge of the Japanese army's crazy pursuit, prevented the enemy from advancing on the 3rd, and fought with the 18th Division of Ushishima Sadao, the 114th Division of Shigeharu Suematsu and the Kunisaki detachment, totaling more than 8,000 Japanese troops, he once took a surprise, detoured and encircled hundreds of devils, in order to annihilate this lone army, Guo Xunqi personally led the charge, was swept in the thigh by machine guns, and was almost crippled. At the cost of more than 1,000 casualties and serious wounds on his own, he completed the arduous task of covering the safe retreat of the main forces in the Songhu battlefield, and won more than 100 Japanese troops, and was later promoted to the commander of the 50th Army.
During the Liberation War, Guo Xunqi served as the deputy commander of the 15th Appeasement District, responsible for the defense of Xiangyang and Fancheng, and as a result, Nakano's general Wang Jinshan launched the Xiangfan Campaign, and after a fierce attack, kang Ze, the commander of the 15th Appeasement District, and Guo Xunqi, the deputy commander of the 15th Appeasement District, were both captured.
Subsequently, Guo Xunqi laughed and relieved his enmity, wanted to make some contributions to liberation, and decided to return to Sichuan to carry out a rebellion; although there were risks, he appeared in the capacity of the Enemy Works Department in The Middle Field and publicized the party's policies to his classmates and comrades-in-arms, including Liu Muqun, commander of the Nanjing Air Force trainer plane, Jin Zhensheng, the presidential field inspector, Yang Xuyun, the general counselor of the Central China Suppression Campaign, Xiong Kewu, Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua, Chen Li, Yang Jiafang, Yan Xiaohu, and others of the Sichuan Army, and established the General Headquarters of the Xichuan People's Defense Army, with himself as commander. Promote peace and liberate Chengdu.
Guo Xunqi made an important contribution to the peaceful uprising in the southwestern provinces. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as a member of the West Sichuan Bureau and director of the Department of Communications, a member of the Sichuan Provincial People's Government and a deputy director of the Department of Communications, a deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Water Conservancy Department, a deputy director of the Provincial Sports Commission, and a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress. He died in Chengdu in 1959 due to illness.
