In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a story of the Seven Captures of Meng, which tells that in order to maintain national unity and cut off the local separatist forces, Zhuge Liang adopted the famous southern conquest military operation, adopting the strategy of "attacking the heart first, attacking the city as the bottom, fighting the heart as the top, and fighting the soldiers as the bottom", and captured the local powerful chieftain Meng Yu seven times and released seven times, and finally made him convinced, truly surrendered, and no longer became the enemy, Zhuge Liang's move not only encircled the local leaders to serve him, but also obtained gold, silver, Dan, lacquer, cultivating cattle, and war horses. With military resources and the country's wealth, he maintained stability in the southern and central territories of the rear from then on, enabling him to specialize in the story of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. It's a lot of things.
However, in modern wars, a lieutenant general of the nationalist army was also captured three times during the years of the civil revolutionary war during the agrarian revolution, and because the Red Army pursued a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, for the purpose of united front and other purposes, he was released twice, mainly hoping that he would get lost, not fight a civil war, and not be an enemy of the people's army.
Born in 1903, he went to Guangzhou in the winter of 1923 and was admitted to the Army Lecture School of the Military and Political Department of the Headquarters camp to study at the Army Lecture School of the Military and Political Department, and was later merged into the Whampoa Military Academy, and was incorporated into the Sixth Team of the First Phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and successively graduated from the First Phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, the Third Phase of the Higher Education Class of the Central Military Academy, and the Second Phase of the Special Class of the Army University.
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Liu Jiashu entered Chiang Kai-shek's concubine unit as a probationary platoon leader, where he performed well and was highly valued by his superiors, and was soon promoted to company commander and soon after to battalion commander of the Nanchang Gendarmerie Battalion.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, the Nanchang uprising fired the first shot against the Kuomintang reaction, in the process of the Nanchang uprising, Liu Jiashu was ordered to lead the gendarmerie battalion to "encircle and suppress" the rebel army, the result was due to greed and courage, and finally defeated and captured. Originally, Liu Jiashu thought that his military career was over, but what he did not expect was that after being captured, he was taken on the train by the rebel army, but the rebel army did not embarrass Liu Jiashu too much, and finally let him go back.
After Liu Jiashu returned to the Chinese army, he concealed the history of being captured, but was still reused by his superiors, and soon after he was promoted to deputy regimental commander, and soon after he went to Jiangxi to "encircle and suppress" the Red Army, at that time, the Red Army began a fierce offensive of the third anti-"encirclement and suppression", Liu Jiashu was surrounded by the Red Army, and he was once again taken prisoner.
According to the "Memoirs of Xiao Ke", Xiao Ke, who was the commander of the Red Fifth Division at the time, actually saw Liu Jiashu's name in a list of prisoners. I remembered that when I was in the Guangzhou Military Police Coaching Institute (Huangpu Military Academy Branch), Xiao Ke was divided into the second brigade, and there was a captain and coach named Liu Jiashu, who taught Xiao Ke tactical exercises and queue exercises hand in hand, and Xiao Ke and Liu Jiashu also had a good personal relationship, and the soldiers books that Xiao Ke read at the beginning were lent to him by Liu Jiashu. When Xiao Ke graduated, he wanted to return to Hunan by train, and he also made a special trip to Liu Jiashu to open a certificate of free ride.
Xiao Ke thought, could he be the teacher of that year? He did not dare to rush to confirm, so he went to find the person, and sure enough, it was him, the captain of Liu Jiashu at that time. Liu Jiashu obviously recognized Xiao Ke, and the teacher became a prisoner of the students? Once a guest, now a prisoner under the stairs. It was a bit awkward and I didn't know what to say.
Nowadays, although the two are their masters, after all, the teacher-student relationship cannot be erased, Xiao Ke asked Liu Jiashu to loosen his ties, since they were already prisoners, they gave him some preferential treatment in accordance with the regulations of the Red Army, solicited his own opinions, wanted to participate in the Red Army's stay, did not want to participate in the hair plate to pestered people, and Liu Jiashu wanted to go home, Xiao Ke also specially ordered someone to give Liu Jiashu a piece of guangyang to let him leave, he was full of gratitude to his former student.
According to the theory, the second time he was captured, he was released by the Red Army, and he should have lost his way and was no longer an enemy of our army, but Liu Jiashu had healed his scars and forgot the pain, and he once again returned to the Nationalist army and was quickly promoted to regimental commander. After that, Liu Jiashu successively served as the brigade commander of the 46th Brigade of the 22nd Division and the chief of staff of the Nanjing Garrison Commander. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Jiashu served as the deputy commander of the 5th Army, and soon after he was promoted to the commander of the 88th Army and the acting deputy commander-in-chief of the 34th Group Army.
Especially during the Liberation War, Liu Jiashu, who had been promoted to lieutenant general in the army, could be described as an official fortune, at this time, he spent 30 gold bars in Nanjing to buy a villa, which was astronomical for ordinary people, but for Liu Jiashu, it was just a dime. This villa is known as Liu Jiashu Mansion is located in Nanjing, Jiangsu Gulou District Ninghai Road No. 17, covers an area of 901 square meters, the main building sits north to south, two stories high, green brick façade, large slope roof, four slope roof, polygonal roof staggered, green tiles. The south side is a semicircular porch in the middle, a semi-circular open-air balcony on the top, a protruding polygon on the southeast side, and the two bungalows on the north side are also green bricks and tiles, which are still very grand even now.
At this time, Liu Jiashu successively served as commander and security commander of the Hunan Military District, chief of staff of the Changsha Appeasement Office, commander of the Seventeenth Corps, and other important posts; at this juncture, General Cheng Qian and General Chen Mingren abandoned the dark and surrendered to the Light, and telegraphed the peaceful uprising in Hunan, but Liu Jiashu was still obsessed, forgetting the previous favor of our army to release him twice, and led his troops to confront the People's Liberation Army, and as a result, he was defeated, and he led the Seventeenth Corps and more than 6,700 remnants of the 100 Army to flee to Vietnam, where they were blocked by the Vietnamese People's Army and forced to retreat and occupy the Shuikouguan area in Guangxi In less than a month, he was once again a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army in Pingerguan, Longzhou County, Guangxi.
Liu Jiashu, who was taken prisoner for the third time, naturally remembered General Xiao Ke, who was already the fourth field army and the first chief of staff of the Central China Military Region, and he wanted to find Xiao Ke and ask for help from the students again. However, because of the inconvenience of work, Xiao Ke did not lend a helping hand this time, nor did he ask about Liu Jiashu's situation.
There is a saying in his hometown that there are only three things. People have already given you a few chances to put you back and start all over again, but Liu Jiashu has betrayed his faith again and again, and the luck of the third captive is not as good as the previous two, and he can only honestly be a prisoner.
What is even more puzzling is that after becoming a prisoner of war, Liu Jiashu was not active in reform, still obsessed, and belonged to the type of unrepentant death, and even Du Yuming and Wang Yaowu, who were older and more famous than Liu Jiashu's officials, were pardoned, released from prison one after another, and then assigned a job, and he spent a hard time in prison until march 3, 1972, when he died of cerebral hemorrhage in Fushun War Criminals Management.
Posterity sighed: If Liu Jiashu could have woken up earlier, as he had hoped when our army released him, lost his way, abandoned the dark and turned to the light, not fought a civil war, and did not become an enemy of the people's army, and had woken up earlier?
