In 1981, he was a famous general of the Kuomintang
Du Yuming
Sick in bed, he knew that his life was short, but before he died, he had a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time and wanted to get answers:
He was a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek
Guo Rujie
Was he a Communist Party member at that time?
With such doubts, when Guo Rujie came to his hospital bed to visit him, Du Yuming grabbed his hand tightly:
"This is the last time I ask you, were you ever a member of the Communist Party?"
Looking at the pale Du Yuming, Guo Ruzhen gave him the answer:
"Hikari, we have a political disagreement."
In 1907, Guo Rujie was born into a family of scholars in Tongliang, Sichuan Province, and he was supposed to be a poetic son like his father. However, two years before his birth, China abolished the imperial examination, which had existed for more than a thousand years, and the elders had no choice but to send him to a new-style school.
During his studies, Guo Rugui witnessed the people of Li who had been displaced by the war, and the despair in their eyes touched guo rugui's heartstrings, and he vowed to save them. With this in mind, Guo Rugui resolutely chose to abandon his pen and follow Rong, and he wanted to use the gun in his hand to solve all the reactionaries who oppressed the people.
When Guo Rugui filled in the volunteer form, his father hoped that he would be able to fill Tongji University and become a doctor who saved lives and helped the injured, but Guo Rugui had already made life plans - he wanted to go to military school.
Guo Rujie knew that the elders would definitely not agree with his idea, and he decided to cut first and play later.
On a dark night, Guo secretly left his temporary apartment in Shanghai and served as a cousin of the brigade commander of the Sichuan Army at the time
Guo Rudong
With the help of him, he successfully came to Guangzhou, entered the Whampoa Military Academy, and became a student of Whampoa Phase V.
Influenced by his elders, Guo Rugui has been a very good person since childhood, and even now when he arrives at the talented Whampoa Military Academy, he is also a prominent figure in the school.

One day during her lunch break, Guo Rujie was lying in bed, looking through a book called "The Appearance of Officialdom."
At that time, the students of the Whampoa Military Academy lived in a large bunk, which was a large room with more than a dozen beds. Because there is no wall separation, students chatting can easily be heard by others.
When Guo Ruzhen was reading a book, she heard a bunch of classmates next to her whispering something, one of whom was still a good friend of his
Yuan Jingming
。
This incident aroused Guo Rugui's curiosity, and he put down the book in his hand and ran over to ask them what they were saying.
Guo Rugui's sudden appearance frightened several people who were talking, they looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't have the intention of talking to Guo Rugui. Seeing this scene, Yuan Jingming laughed:
"No problem, Ru Zhen is also his own person."
Then he began to tell Guo Ruzhen the details of the matter.
It turned out that after the Zhongshan Incident, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party became delicate, and the Communists among the teachers of the Whampoa Military Academy were banned from disseminating relevant communist ideas to students in public, and could only give speeches outside the school.
That night, he was a political instructor and a member of the Communist Party at the Whampoa Military Academy
Yun Daiying
There would be a Lecture on Marxism outside the school, and a few of them wanted to sneak out to listen to it after the evening exercises.
Guo Rujie is a studious person, whether it is an old novel or a new literature, as long as he can learn knowledge in it, he will read it. Therefore, he had also read the articles of Chen Duxiu and Mr. Li Dazhao, and was attracted by some of their views.
When he heard that several people were going to listen to Marx's lecture, Guo Rujie also thought about it. For this result, Yuan Jingming had already expected it, so after Guo Rugui showed his ideas, he invited Guo Rugui to join them.
At ten o'clock that night, Guo Rugui and the others quickly ran back to the dormitory after the evening exercise, and then quietly ran out with the excuse of wanting a small solution, climbed over the school wall, and entered a farmhouse, where Yun Daiying gave a speech.
After the speech, Guo Rujie began to develop a great interest in Marxism, and when he returned to school, he turned out the old books he had read and studied them again.

In yun Daiying's teachings, Guo Rujie gradually realized the correctness of communist ideas, and also realized that the Communist Party may be the team that can save the world, so he decided to join the Communist Party.
Although Guo Ruzhi's enthusiasm for the party is very high, and he is also very good, because his party brother Guo Rudong is a warlord, our party has never approved his application to join the party.
This incident sadd Guo Rujie, who wanted to graduate as soon as possible and then make military achievements in the Northern Expedition to show his determination to join the party. However, what he did not expect was that he could not go to the battlefield until the end of the Northern Expedition.
In 1927, the contradictions between the kuomintang and the communist parties grew, and in April of that year,
Chiang Kai-shek
An armed coup d'état against the Left of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Shanghai led to the sacrifice of countless outstanding Communists. This news made Guo Rujie sad, he knew that he could not stay at the Whampoa Military Academy.
Within a few days, the Whampoa Military Academy was a superior leader and a member of the Communist Party of China
Wu Yuzhang
Guo Rujie, Yuan Jingming,
Fu Bingxun
When the Sichuan students called their offices, they said that the Guangzhou area was no longer safe, and let them use Guo Rujie's connections to go to Guo Rudong's troops to temporarily take shelter. Of course, in addition to avoiding danger, he also hoped that they would persuade Guo Rudong not to help him when the Sichuan warlord Yang Sen sent troops to attack Wuhan.

The group soon returned to Sichuan and met Guo Rudong, Guo Rujie's cousin, who, unlike what he had imagined, did not seem to be so stubborn, and he readily agreed to the requests of the people, in addition, he also acquiesced to Guo Rujie, Yuan Jingming and others to spread Marxist ideas in his army.
Guo Rugui and Yuan Jingming and others were very knowledgeable, and their eloquence was also very good under the eyes of the ears, and as officers, they did not specialize in eating and living, which made the soldiers feel that they were very kind and willing to listen to their speeches.
After unremitting efforts, more and more people wanted to join our party, and in the end, Guo Ruzhi even established a branch of the Communist Party in Guo Rudong's troops.
Guo Rugui's vigorous propaganda finally made our party see his determination, and in 1928, under the introduction of Yuan Jingming, who had already become the deputy head of the regiment, the superior leaders finally approved his application to join the party.
While Guo Rujie's career was in full swing, Guo Rudong gradually exposed his ambitions, and by chance, Guo Ruzhi discovered that his cousin had secret contacts with Chiang Kai-shek, who had secretly defected to the Kuomintang as early as when they entered Guo Rudong's army.

In 1930, in order to surrender to Chiang Kai-shek, Guo Rudong began to purge all Communists from the army. Of course, because of the flesh and blood affection, Guo Rudong did not bear to do something to Guo Rujie, and after some time passed, Guo Ruzhi was sent to Japan by Guo Rudong to study.
At that time, Guo Rugui had already severed contact with Wu Yuzhang, and Yuan Jingming left Sichuan under Guo Rudong's purges, and Guo Rugui felt isolated and helpless, so he agreed to this study abroad plan.
In November 1930, Guo Rujie successfully arrived in Japan, and after half a year of language study, he was admitted to the Japanese Non-Commissioned Officer School school in April 1931.
In September 1931, the "918" incident that shocked the world broke out, and Guo Rujie could no longer bear to stay in the enemy's territory, so he quickly submitted a withdrawal application to the school and returned to his homeland.
At the end of 1931, Guo Rugui returned to Shanghai with a large number of students who had dropped out of the Japanese Non-Commissioned Officer School, and soon after, four deputies, including Guo Rugui, were elected to the Nanjing Training Directorate Department, asking to be admitted to the Chinese Army University and continue their studies.

After Guo Rujie entered the Army University for some time, he was attracted by his excellent academic performance and unique insights in the military
Hero
Note. After three years of hard study, he successfully graduated with the first place, and later because he did not want to serve in the army to become an enemy of the Communist Party, he was recommended by Yang Jie to enter the Lu University Research Institute for further study, and was appointed as an instructor of war history.
On December 12, 1936, an incident occurred in Xi'an, and Chiang Kai-shek had to cooperate with the Communist Party again, and When Guo Rugui heard the news, he knew that the opportunity to serve the country had arrived, so he went there on the recommendation of his classmates at Lu University
Temporary
The Fourteenth Division of the Eighteenth Army served as chief of staff, and soon after received training at the "Lushan Officer Training Corps" organized by Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and Guo Rugui, who had undergone several years of military training, stepped onto the real battlefield for the first time and officially began to defend the motherland by force.
In the Battle of Songhu, Chiang Kai-shek sent a million soldiers to fight the Japanese, and Guo Rujie was the acting brigade commander of the 42nd Brigade of the 14th Division, and he led 8,000 soldiers to fight the enemy to the outskirts of Shanghai, with the vicious faces of the Japanese in front of them, and several fighter planes circling in the sky to bomb them in turn, and the situation was very critical.
However, Guo Rujie's expression was still as usual, and he left a suicide note with the determination to die, and personally walked out of the bunker to direct the battle. In the end, Guo Rugui's troops fought bloody battles with the enemy for seven days and seven nights, and the position was not captured by the enemy, and when they received the order to retreat, only about 2,000 people survived.

Guo Rugui, who had always been disliked by his colleagues, became famous in the first world war, and when the army retreated to Wuhan, he began to serve as chief of staff in the Fifty-fourth Army, which was favored by Chen Cheng.
While the army was stationed in Wuhan, Chen Cheng began to notice Guo Rujie's strategic talents. According to Chiang Kai-shek's deployment, the battle plan adopted by Wuhan and the defense war with Nanjing was the last resort suggested by the German advisers, but Guo Rugui saw the problem and directly told Chen Cheng that if he insisted on using such a battle plan, he would definitely repeat the mistakes of Nanjing.
At Guo Rugui's insistence, Chen Cheng's troops adjusted their battle plan, using the surrounding Dabie Mountains and other mountain ranges as a barrier to fight the enemy, and then the various troops did not suffer much losses.
After this incident, Chen Cheng paid more and more attention to Guo Rujie, first promoting him to chief of staff of the Twentieth Group Army, and later recommending him to serve as the commander of the New Fifth Division after the Kuomintang established the New Fifth Division.
The New Fifth Division was a miscellaneous unit of local armed forces and bandit armed forces, and the soldiers were very uncontrolled by the troops in the early stages, but Guo Rujie immediately suppressed them with iron-blooded means after taking office. Under his training, the unit quickly grew into a disciplined and combative force.

In the Battle of Changsha, Guo Rugui led the army to create the classic tactics of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and defeated the Japanese ace army with clever tactics under inferior circumstances. After this news came out, it immediately caused a scramble between Chinese and foreign media, and for several weeks, newspapers and magazines published the legendary deeds of Guo Ruzhi's defeat of the Japanese army, because of this incident, he was also invited by the British to go to the local area to explain the "magical" tactics class for them for 30 days!
After Guo Rugui returned to the garrison, some patriots donated 5,000 silver dollars to reward him for his outstanding performance in the war, but Guo Rugui did not accept the money. In his thinking, it is a matter of course for soldiers to win battles, and they should not accept extra gifts from outsiders. He gave all the money to the soldiers, which was also a little comfort for them since the continuous war of resistance.
His lack of love of money was rare among Kuomintang officers, and Soong Mei-ling often praised him at events, saying that he was a general with "no ambition and no selfishness."
In this way, Guo Rugui began to be valued by Chiang Kai-shek, and soon after, he was sent to chiang kai-shek's self-proclaimed "Central Training Regiment" as a deputy captain, and was officially included in Chiang Kai-shek's concubine line.
At this time, Guo Ru was ashamed of the infinite scenery, and I was afraid that no one would believe that he was actually a Communist Party member.
Pictured| Chiang Kai-shek
Although he worked for the Kuomintang for many years and was deeply appreciated by the leaders of the Kuomintang, in Guo Ru's heart, he had always been a communist. After returning to China, he has been trying to find contact information for the Communist Party, but due to various factors, he has never realized this wish.
The turning point took place in 1945, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was about to be won, and Guo Rujie happened to meet a classmate who had been at the Whampoa School in Chongqing
Ren Diyou
He knew that Ren Diyou had also been a member of the Communist Party, so he wanted to get the contact information of the organization through him. What he did not expect was that Ren Diyou had already lost contact with the organization.
After several twists and turns, Guo Ruyi met his cousin under the recommendation of Ren Diyou
Ren Lianru
and obtained it from Ren Lianru
Dong Biwu
contact details.
Guo Ruxian, who had regained contact with the organization, was very excited, and he told Dong Lao that he wanted to go to Yan'an to work, but considering Guo Ruzhen's current position, Dong Biwu thought that he was more favorable to the organization within the Kuomintang, so he continued to stay in the Kuomintang.

In 1946, the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party intensified, Chiang Kai-shek once again attacked the Communists, the chief of staff Chen Cheng controlled the real power of the army, and Guo Rugui's position began to rise, first as the deputy director of the General Office of the General General, and later promoted to the position of lieutenant general of the Third Department of the Ministry of National Defense in charge of operations. The main responsibility of the War Department was to formulate the battle plans for the major battles of the Kuomintang army, and the information it came into contact with was the core secret of the Kuomintang.
Risking the danger to his life at any time, Guo Ruyi provided the organization with more than 100 important military intelligence through Ren Lianru, making great contributions to our party.
Before the battle of Menglianggu began, Guo Rugui studied the battle plan of Shandong with Chen Cheng, Chiang Kai-shek, and others, and Guo Ruzhen reported to them the current battlefield situation and the battle plan, and after thinking about it for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek decided to let Tang Enbo's corps, Ou Zhen's corps, and Wang Jingjiu's corps copy the East China Field Army from Sanbao and launch an attack on them.
After returning home, Guo Ruyi immediately silently wrote down the battle plan he had heard earlier, and soon after handed it to Ren Lianru, who emphasized:
This time, the seventy-fourth division was also involved in the operation, which was equipped with equipment imported from the United States, under the jurisdiction of three brigades, a total of more than 37,000 people, and the combat capability was very strong
Zhang Lingfu
Xiao Yong is good at fighting, and our army must be more careful when fighting.
Picture | Zhang Lingfu
After receiving the news, the East China Field Army was like a tiger, and soon after, it annihilated the entire Seventy-fourth Division, and the division commander Zhang Lingfu was also killed by our army.
When our army was troubled by the attack of the New Sixth Army, Ren Lianru asked Guo Rujie:
"The combat strength of the New Sixth Army is so strong, how should our army cope?"
Guo Ruzhen immediately sent him news
"The New Sixth Army is equipped with powerful weapons, but their logistical supplies can only last for five days. ”
So in October 1948, the Northeast Field Army easily defeated the Kuomintang New Sixth Army, commander
Li Tao
and former military commanders
Liao Yaoxiang
All of them were captured by our army, and at that time Du Yuming was in charge of military command in the northeast.
In November 1948, Du Yuming fled by plane back to Beiping from the northeast, and shortly thereafter, he was appointed deputy commander of the Xuzhou "Suppression General", responsible for the "Battle of Xu Beng", which was highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek. In the list of "Xu Beng" battle plans provided by his superiors, he saw a familiar name - Guo Rujian.
Earlier, when Du Yuming was summing up why he had repeatedly lost battles against the communist army in the northeast and east China, he accidentally noticed Guo Rugui, and he found that in the decisions of the Kuomintang army that made big mistakes, he could spy guo Ruyi's shadow, which was difficult not to let him suspect that such a mistake was related to Guo Ruzhen.
Once Du Yuming went to Guo Ruyi's home as a guest, he was surprised to see that Guo Ruyin, a senior officer of the Kuomintang, was actually using a patched sofa in his home, and he realized that he was already incorruptible in the Kuomintang, and he did not expect that Guo Ruyi was even more incorruptible than him, and that kind of behavior was very similar to that of a Communist Party member.
Pictured| Du Yuming
He told Chiang Kai-shek about this deed he had observed, but he did not expect to provoke his anger:
Could it be that the kuomintang officers had to go around making money to prove that they were not communists? amusing!
Du Yuming was very distressed by this, because there was no solid evidence, and he could only watch as the Kuomintang was taken into the ditch by Guo Ruyi.
In the Battle of Huaihai, Du Yuming sensed that the situation was not right and prepared to abandon Xuzhou and stick to Bengbu. Just as he was leading his troops to March to Bengbu, he did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek was deceived by Guo Ruyi's rhetoric and decided to change Du Yuming's battle plan and fight against our army on the outskirts of Xuzhou, which made the Kuomintang army very chaotic.
In the end, these armies did not escape the fate of being annihilated by our army, and Du Yuming became a prisoner of our army.
In this regard, Du Yuming once wrote in "The Beginning and End of the Battle of Huaihai":
Chiang Kai-shek and Gu Zhutong completely listened to the words of Guo Ruyi, a little devil, which caused the situation of the Kuomintang to become so bad. When Guo Ruyi did not withdraw his troops to the vicinity of Bengbu according to the original plan, I wanted to question him about the reason, but just when I hesitated, Gu Zhu and his colleagues agreed to Guo Ruzhen's plan, and I felt that it would not be beneficial to quarrel, but I might lose Chiang Kai-shek's trust. ”
Shortly after Du Yuming's arrest, the three major battles also came to an end, and Guo Ruyin once again conveyed to our party his intention to go to the Liberated Areas to contribute to the people, but this matter was once again rejected by the organization.
Picture | Guo Ru shame
The leaders of our Party hoped that Guo Rugui would lead a troop to revolt in order to break Chiang Kai-shek's "Metropolis War" plan and further strike at Chiang Kai-shek's forces.
Although Guo Rujie was a little disappointed, he still followed the orders issued by the organization and threw himself into a new task.
When Chiang Kai-shek and Gu Zhutong, who were still in the dark, heard that Guo Rugui not only did not run, but even asked to take troops to the southwest, they were deeply moved and lamented that he was a good comrade. Gu Zhutong, moved, also promised to provide certain military support to Guo Rujie, who was going to the southwest region.
With the support of the top leaders of the Kuomintang, the Seventy-second Army formed by Guo Rugui quickly grew into one of the main forces in the southwest.
On December 11, 1929, Guo Rugui, who felt that the timing was ripe, led the 72nd Army to a formal uprising, and Chiang Kai-shek's "Metropolis War" turned into a bubble.
Hearing this news, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, broke out and scolded:
"Niang Xipi, I didn't expect that the biggest co-spy was Guo Rujie."
At that time, a US newspaper also published an article entitled "A Spy Undercover Is Doing Something Wrong, and the Victory and Defeat of the Two Armies Have Been Divided First." Although it may have been a bit of an excuse for the Defeat of the Kuomintang, it is also an indisputable fact that Guo Rujie played a crucial role in the victory of our Party.

After the liberation of China, Guo Rugui finally began to work for our party as he wished, when Sichuan had four administrative regions, and Guo Rugui served as the director of the Transportation Department of the Zhongchuan Southern Branch Bureau.
In 1981, because of his excellent work performance, he was rated as an outstanding communist party member by the party committee of the Chengdu Military Region.
From a hot-blooded young man who wanted to join the Communist Party to an excellent Communist Party member recognized by the state, Guo Rugui spent more than 50 years, and during these 50 years, no matter what difficulties he encountered and what temptations he encountered, his faith never changed. Whether it is the glory of the wind or the white hair, Guo Rujie is still the hero who wants to petition for the people.
