In the War of Liberation, many Kuomintang generals were taken prisoners, and we all know that prisoners had to be studied and reformed in the war criminals management center, but there was one captured Kuomintang general who was an exception; not only did he not enter the war criminals management center, but he also directly held important posts in the new China official residence.
This person is the Kuomintang general Guo Xunqi, he is a Sichuan Shuangliu man, is a famous general of the Sichuan Army, many people may not have heard of his name, but on the Road of the Long March of the Red Army, he was a famous general in the First World War, and several generals of the Red Army were defeated in his hands.
It was in January 1935 that Jiang asked Liu Xiang, commander of the Sichuan Army, to send troops to block the Red Army, and Liu Xiang sent Guo Xunqi's Third Brigade, Pan Zuo's Independent 4th Brigade, and Liao Ze's Model 3rd Brigade, which were uniformly commanded by Guo Xunqi to block the Red Army.
Before leaving, Guo Xunqi instructed Guo Xunqi to carry out a "chase and catch" blockade of the Red Army, that is, to ensure that the Red Army did not enter Sichuan, and on January 20, the main force of the Red Army had the possibility of crossing the Red River, and Guo Xunqi followed close behind, which was simply like a shadow.
Although the Red Army saw the purpose of the Sichuan Army, it had to be cut off for such a tail, otherwise it might face the danger of being caught between the front and the rear, so the Red Third Army and the Red Fifth Army, on January 28, launched an attack on Guo Xunqi's brigade.
The battle was fought until 10 a.m., the enemy did not show any signs of collapse, but the encirclement of the Red Army may be broken at any time, And Mr. Zhu even personally went to the front line to command, and later checked the intelligence to learn that the enemy was three brigades, and the Red Army was in a dangerous situation.
It was not until the evening that the First Army returned to reinforcements, and the two legions trapped in the stalemate were able to retreat safely, and in this battle Guo Xunqi fought two regiments of the Red Army, which made him famous for a while, you know, before that, no unit could withstand the combined attack of the two regiments of the Red Army.
During the anti-Japanese war, Guo Xunqi was one of the generals of the Sichuan Army in the Anti-Japanese War, and in the campaign to defend Nanjing, he encountered the Japanese army on the west bank of Taihu Lake, injured his leg during the battle, and insisted on commanding until the end of the battle before being admitted to the hospital for treatment, and his leg was ulcerated.
In 1938, Guo Xunqi was discharged from the hospital from his wounds and was appointed commander of the 50th Army, and he led his troops to garrison the town of Qingyangmu in southern Anhui Province, only 50 kilometers away from Yunling, the garrison of the New Fourth Army, during which he had frequent exchanges with Mr. Chen, and the New Fourth Army also cooperated with Guo Xunqi to fight the Japanese army in Laiwu.
Guo Xunqi learned of the lack of materials for the New Fourth Army, and once gave the New Fourth Army 30,000 rounds of ammunition and 1,000 sets of military uniforms, but his interaction with the New Fourth Army was learned by Jiang Ren, who in the winter of 1939 was dismissed from the post of military commander under the pretext of Jiang Ren and put under house arrest at Lu University.
During the Liberation War, Jiang Xunqi was demoralized and lacked available talents, so Guo Xunqi was reactivated, and in 1948, Jiang Sent His Confidant Kang Ze as the Commander of the 15th Appeasement District to guard Xiangyang, Kang Ze did not understand military affairs, and appointed Guo Xunqi as deputy commander to assist.
Guo Xunqi had no choice but to take office, but Kang Ze did not listen to Guo Xunqi's words when he was arranging the city defenses, worried that Guo Xunqi was helping the People's Liberation Army, originally Guo Xunqi suggested that the city defense of the west gate and the south gate be strengthened, but Guo Xunqi did the opposite, and it turned out that Kang Ze was wrong.
The People's Liberation Army attacked the city, Kang Ze and Guo Xunqi were taken prisoner together, Kang Ze was dumbfounded, Guo Xunqi was treated favorably by Chen Yi and was honored as a guest of honor, in addition to the fact that he had helped the New Fourth Army, but also because Guo Xunqi had also saved the life of Chen Laozong.
It was 1927, Sichuan was shrouded in "white terror", and General Manager Chen in Chongqing was in danger, and Guo Xunqi, then deputy commander of the Sichuan Army, took General Manager Chen home and sent someone to escort General Manager Chen away.
Guo Xunqi and General Manager Chen talked freely for several days, Guo Xunqi decided to stand on the side of the people, he took the initiative to ask to return to Sichuan to do counter-offensive work and help Sichuan to liberate at an early date, and later Guo Xunqi returned to Sichuan and led the establishment of the Sichuan People's Defense Army General Headquarters, which contributed to the peaceful liberation of Chengdu.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Xunqi served in Sichuan, serving as the director of the Department of Transportation, until his death in Chengdu on December 28, 1959, at the age of 64, when Mr. Chen personally wrote a letter of condolence.
