During the Period of the Red Army, some people were disappointed in the future of the revolution because of their lack of determination, and even left the Red Army for personal reasons and joined the Kuomintang. Among them was such a senior general during the Red Army period, who left the Red Army because of family affairs and joined the Kuomintang, but in the War of Resistance, he used guerrilla warfare to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army.
His name was Yang Yuchun, he was the commander of the 35th Division of the Red 12th Army, and later became a general of the Kuomintang.
Yang Yuchun, nicknamed Liu Qing, was born in March 1909 to a landlord family in Wuyang Township, Ruijin County, Jiangxi Province. Yang Yuchun entered Yanshui Middle School in his early years, and after graduation, he was admitted to jiangxi provincial agricultural college, worked for a year, entered the army's 4th army camp school, and later entered the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, after graduation, he served as a platoon commander of the independent 7th Division.
Yang Yuchun took part in the famous Nanchang Uprising with his troops, and two years later he successfully joined the party. At that time, graduation from the Whampoa Military Academy was a hard signboard, plus Yang Yuchun himself was very capable, very capable of fighting, and especially good at guerrilla tactics, so he was repeatedly promoted in the Red Army.
Yang Yuchun successively served as the acting regimental commander of the 1st Regiment of the Independent 7th Division of the Red 12th Army, the commander of the 101st Regiment of the Red 34th Division, the commander of the 101st Regiment of the Tinglian Qingning Command of the Western Fujian Military Region in April 1932, the commander of the 35th Division of the Red 12th Army in May, the commander of the Model Young Pioneer Division of the Soviet Union in October, the commander of the Independent Division of the Jiantaili Red Army of the Fujian Military Region in 1933, and the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 2nd Military Subdistrict of the Guangdong-Gansu Military Region in June. Joined the Kuomintang, what the hell is going on?
It turned out that the Soviet union at that time was carrying out a campaign to eliminate the landlords, and the means at that time were somewhat extreme, and it was at this time that Gong Chu, the first rebel general of the Red Army, defected, and Yang Yuchun's parents and uncles were arrested and killed in this campaign to eliminate the landlords, and all the family property was confiscated.
After joining the Kuomintang, Yang Yuchun first served as a senator of the 56th Division, in 1934 he was transferred to chiang kai-shek's Nanchang camp lieutenant general salary counselor, in 1935 concurrently served as chief of staff of the Military Commission's Office of Recruiting Special Commissioners, in the same year he entered the higher education class of the Central Military Academy for training, in 1936 he was appointed as a counselor in Chongqing camp, and in 1937 he was appointed as a lieutenant general salary counselor of the Central Military Commission. These positions look tall and don't actually have much real power.
In June 1938, the Nationalist government designated Lushan as an anti-Japanese guerrilla base area, which was defended by the 3rd and 11th regiments of local troops sent by Jiangxi Province. In August, the "Jiangxi Provincial Guerrilla General Command" was established, and Yang Yuchun was appointed deputy commander-in-chief, responsible for directing two security regiments to adhere to the anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare in Lushan. Later, Lushan was surrounded by the Japanese army, and they became a lone army completely.
However, under the command of Yang Yuchun, they blocked the Japanese attack on the mountain on the one hand, and on the other hand, they drew some troops to form a commando team, and frequently went down the mountain to sneak up on the Japanese army and destroy transportation. In order to persist in the protracted War of Resistance, Yang Yuchun applied the experience of the struggle in Jinggangshan to Lushan, organized training classes for cadres, developed the peripheral forces of Lushan, organized and trained secret agents to spy on the enemy's situation, and plotted against the Traitor organization. Yang Yuchun also established an intelligence station and a secret radio station in Jiujiang City, and even Xue Yue had to rely on Yang Yuchun as a channel to understand the movements of the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu.
Just said that Yang Yuchun is very good at guerrilla warfare, which has been fully reflected here, under the command of Yang Yuchun, this lone army in Lushan began to constantly attack the Japanese army, according to relevant records, they have taken the initiative to attack the Japanese army many times:
On November 21, 1938, they secretly attacked a Japanese transport ship in Baishizui, Gutang, killing 6 enemy people, capturing 26 bags of rice and 50 cans; on the 22nd, they sneaked into Nanchangpu, killing 7 enemy people, capturing 1 enemy, capturing 1 light machine gun and 3 rifles; on the 28th, they shot down 1 Japanese aircraft; on December 5, they sneaked up on Donglintou, cut off 6 Japanese soldiers, captured 1 person, captured 1 small cannon and 1 rifle; on January 1, 1939, secretly attacked Luojia Dawu, annihilated more than 10 enemy people, captured 3 pistols and 7 rifles. On the same day, he secretly attacked the Blue Bridge, killed 1 enemy, captured 1 rifle, and destroyed more than 10 meters of the Nanxun Highway; on the same day, he secretly attacked Lijiahe, killed 3 enemy people, and captured 1 light machine gun; on January 15, he secretly attacked Cai Jia'an, killed several enemy people, destroyed 1 enemy car, and obtained 30 boxes of ammunition; on February 8, ambushed the Japanese army attacking the mountain, annihilated more than 20 enemy people, captured 1 light and heavy machine gun, and captured 5 rifles; on March 4, ambushed the Japanese transport convoy of the Nine (Jiujiang) Xingzi Highway, killing more than 10 enemy people and destroying 3 cars. More than 50 packages of rice, 5 rifles, 2 boxes of ammunition and 3 light machine guns were seized.
In the end, Yang Yuchun commanded the troops to negotiate with the Japanese army, and they withdrew from Lushan Mountain, repaired the Shuishan District, and continued to persist in the anti-Japanese struggle. At that time, this was a miracle, the Nationalist army had always despised guerrilla warfare, but Yang Yuchun taught them a lesson with his own practical actions, but this Yang Yuchun, who was a guerrilla expert in the Nationalist army, did not get important.
Soon, Yang Yuchun was reappointed as the administrative inspector and commander of the security of the ninth and tenth districts of Gan, the commander of the 2nd Advancing Column of the 1st Group Army, and the senior staff of the Ninth Theater, and joined the military command in 1941, concurrently serving as the director of the Jiangxi Provincial Anti-Smuggling Department of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, in 1943 he was the commander of the 4th Column of the Einsatzgruppen Army of the Central Military Commission, and in 1945 he was transferred to the commander of the 2nd Column of the Special Action Army of the Central Military Commission and the commander of the 2nd Traffic Police Corps. In the spring of 1946, he was transferred to the second division of the Second Appeasement District, and in 1948, he was appointed as the brigade commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Traffic Police, leading the troops to fight the People's Liberation Army in the area of Beining Road and Tanggu, and then transferred to the defense of Zhejiang Ganlu Road, concurrently serving as the commander of zhejiang Gan Road Protection, and in 1949 he was also the commander of martial law in Quanzhou, Fujian Province.
These were not real power positions, and after liberation he went to Taiwan and never returned, dying in Taipei in 1989. If he had not left the Red Army at that time, perhaps there would have been better development, but history has no if, and although Yang Yuchun left the Red Army, he also realized the integrity of Chinese soldiers in the War of Resistance.
