He was a fleeing general of the Nationalist Army, lived for 103 years, gave birth to a son with a career, and became a household name
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, chiang the elder Chiang pursued a policy of non-resistance, and only after the Xi'an Incident did he begin to resist the Japanese army. It can be seen from this that many people in the Kuomintang cannot fight wars, but their ability to escape is not weak at all. Today, I would like to introduce you to a famous "Flying General", his name is Sun Yuanliang. We all know that li guang in history is called "flying general", but this person is called "flying general" but not because of his outstanding achievements and bravery. He was called "Flying General" because he was good at escaping and was running very fast.
Sun Yuanliang, whose ancestral home is Shaoxing, Zhejiang, was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, and graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. Sun Yuanliang himself has fought some victorious battles since joining the army, and he also has certain military talents, but this does not hide the black spot of a fleeing general. Sun Yuanliang's escape began with the Northern Expedition, when he served as the first regimental commander of the First Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and was a general of the old Chiang Kai-shek's lineage, and he was also greatly valued.
Even as a regimental commander, Sun Yuanliang should have led the soldiers to charge the battlefield, but at the beginning of the battle, he took the lead in escaping. Originally, the troops had already occupied the city of Nanchang, but it turned out to be a failure because of his escape. When Chiang Kai-shek learned the news, he was so angry that he wanted to shoot Sun Yuanliang directly, and finally because Sun Yuanliang's uncle was Sun Zhen, he could only pardon this person. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sun Yuanliang's escape skills were more refined. After the Battle of Songhu began, Sun Yuanliang did not lead his troops to search with the Japanese army, but led his bodyguards to escape first, running directly from Shanghai to Suzhou, which was jaw-dropping.
When the Japanese army invaded Nanjing, Sun Yuanliang was still like this, without the blood of a soldier, timid as a rat. After the Japanese soldiers approached the city, they did not even inform their own troops, and they first hid in the diplomatic center and then escaped from Nanjing. Sun Yuanliang's troops were leaderless and faced a complete rout of the Japanese army, suffering heavy losses. Such a fleeing general, even if he did nothing but escape on the spot, he was able to rise step by step, and directly became the commander of the Kuomintang Sixteenth Corps during the Liberation War. Such a fleeing general can be promoted, how can the Kuomintang not be defeated.
After the liberation war began, Sun Yuanliang still did not change the problem of liking to escape. After the initial troops were surrounded, after receiving Du Yuming's order to break through, he was afraid that Du Yuming would change the order again, so he simply cut off all contact with Du Yuming. After that, Du Yuming ordered the breakthrough to be stopped, and the result was originally a three-way breakthrough, which became Sun Yuanliang's breakthrough all the way, which eventually led to the entire army of the Sixteenth Corps being wiped out by the People's Liberation Army. However, Sun Yuanliang himself was not caught by the People's Liberation Army, and with his escape technology, he fled to Nanjing unharmed.
After that, the Kuomintang was completely defeated, and Sun Yuanliang fled to Taiwan with chiang kai-shek. At this time, Sun Yuanliang finally recognized himself, knew that he was not the material for war, and turned to the business world. Although Sun Yuanliang did not have any great ability in his life, he also experienced a lot, and his mentality was better than that of ordinary people. He eventually lived to be 103 years old and did not die until 2007.
Although Sun Yuanliang, the escaped general, made us laugh and laugh, his son was the opposite of him, very prominent, and his son was the famous star - Qin Han. Qin Han was mainly active in the 1970s and 1980s, and together with Qin Xianglin, Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia, known as "Erqin Erlin", he has starred in hundreds of film and television works, 30 TV series, and won multiple awards.
Sun Yuanliang's escape skills are superb, making people both angry and ridiculous. But his son is a big star, mixing up a different world from his father.
