The first general of the Sichuan Army, who had defeated the Red Army, was visited by two marshals after being captured
Sichuan has produced many famous generals in modern history, such as Zhu Laozong among the ten marshals, Liu Shuai, Nie Shuai, and Chen Lao, all of whom are Sichuanese, and even in our army, there have also been many famous anti-Japanese generals like Rao Guohua, Wang Mingzhang, Li Jiayu, Yang Sen, and so on.
At the same time, the Sichuan people in the War of Resistance also made a great contribution, becoming the province with the largest number of troops in the country, and there was one general in the Sichuan Army, who once commanded the famous Battle of Tucheng, in this battle, he defeated the Red Army and won the title of the first general of the Sichuan Army.
This is General Guo Xunqi. Guo Xunqi had a very good relationship with Mr. Chen and Liu Shuai in his early years. Later, he was jealous of Liu Xiang, the king of Sichuan, but there was no conclusive evidence, and it was not good to casually wrongfully accuse his own generals, so Liu Xiang thought of a way to transfer Guo Xunqi to his side as a deputy division commander, although he was promoted, but he had no real power from then on.
In 1927, if Liu Xiang, who had shown his loyalty, joined forces with the Kuomintang to launch the "Three-Three-One" massacre, and then covered up after massacring revolutionaries and patriotic students, Chen Yi and others would have left Sichuan, while Guo Xunqi had stayed with Liu Xiang and served Liu Xiang with allegiance. And the battle that made him famous in the world was the Battle of Tucheng, which was fought against the Red Army.
In 1935, Chiang Kai-shek asked Liu Xiang to send troops to silently block the Red Army, but at this time Liu Xiang was thinking that as long as the Red Army did not enter Sichuan, he would not do anything, but in order to deal with Chiang Kai-shek, he selected three divisions with the weakest combat effectiveness to participate in the battle.
But how could this little trick escape the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek's agents, so the next day Chiang Kai-shek asked Liu Xiang to send two divisions to Guigui, but this time Liu Xiang played a little clever trick and only sent three brigades, and the commander of these three brigades was General Guo Xunqi.
Before leaving, he also specially instructed Lao Guo, "Saying" that this time your task is to assist the nationalist army, do your best in everything, run if you can't win, don't damage too many troops, our soldiers are treasures, damage one is one less, but Guo Xunqi did not understand Liu Xiang's meaning too much, and said to Liu Xiang that I am good at fighting, you can rest assured.
In fact, Liu Xiang wanted to say that this time the troops should not be too desperate, just flicker twice. However, the Sichuan army led by Guo Xunqi met the Red Army at Tucheng, and the Sichuan army he led defeated the Third and Fifth Armies of the Red Army, forcing the Red Army to abandon the plan to cross the Yangtze River.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he became the commander of the 50th Army, and Chen Yi and others of the New Fourth Army walked too close, and were informed by the secret agents of the military command that Chiang Kai-shek was not good at random. However, in 1939 he commanded the defeat at the Battle of Guichi, and was removed from his post and moved away from the front line to the rear to serve as a civilian.
And let him go to the battlefield again was in the Battle of Xiangfan in the Liberation War, when the commander of the defending city was the great secret agent Kang Ze, and the guy was Chiang Kai-shek's beloved student, but Chiang also knew that he was not the material for fighting, so he asked Guo Xunqi to make him his deputy.
This time, their opponent was Wang Jinshan, commander of the Sixth Column of the Central Plains Field Army, and they all knew that the Sixth Column had always been the ace column in the hands of Liu Deng's army. General Wang Jinshan often fought unexpectedly, often not playing cards according to common sense.
And Kang Ze also knew that he was not material in this regard, so he asked Guo Xunqi what good way to defend the city, at that time, Guo Xunqi did propose several strategies to defend the city, Kang Ze was even praised, "said" good method, good method, but in the evening, his guard said Commander Kang, I heard that this General Guo was dismissed by the principal because of his improper relationship with the communist army.
Kang Ze listened, as if, it seemed that he could not fully listen to him. Therefore, he sent heavy troops to the south gate, thinking that Nakano would attack from the south gate, but Guo Xunqi thought that it would attack from the west gate, and as a result, Wang Jinshan led his troops to attack from the west gate, and Kang Ze wrote that Guo Xunqi was captured together.
When the news of Guo Xunqi's capture was all sent to nakano headquarters, Liu Shuai said, This Guo Xunqi is me and Mr. Chen, a very good friend. During Guo Xunqi's imprisonment, Liu Shuai visited with Mr. Chen.
Under the persuasion of the two marshals, Guo Xunqi was willing to surrender, and then followed Erye to make important contributions to the liberation of the great southwest, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the deputy director of the Sichuan Ministry of Water Resources, and in 1959, General Guo Xunqi died of illness
