In 1950, Shi Yuxiang, a bandit leader in western Hunan Province, led by a comrade of the People's Liberation Army, came to the People's Liberation Army Area in western Hunan and expressed his intention to surrender to our army, Shi Yuxiang had surrendered twice before, but both rebelled at a critical juncture, and this time he surrendered again, and the leaders, after investigation and consultation, actually agreed to his surrender request, and this person later enjoyed the treatment of deputy military commander, as the largest bandit in western Hunan and a former general of the Nationalist army, why could this person surrender three times and rebel twice, and still end up in a good ending?
In 1926, He Long was ordered to lead the troops to Sichuan to besiege the warlord Yang Sen, during the battle, some of He Long's subordinates rebelled against the enemy and fled, he ordered his cavalry battalion commander Shi Baochen to lead the soldiers to pursue the deserters, Shi Baochen in the process of pursuing the deserters, unfortunately was ambushed by the enemy, the people who escaped were natives of Sichuan, familiar with the terrain, set up an ambush in advance, Shi Camp Commander and the fighters he led, failed to escape the enemy's ambush.
After Shi Baochen's death, He Long asked his subordinates to put away his body and specially instructed him to properly return to his hometown, He Long also thought of Shi Baochen's son, considering that this child suddenly lost his father, He Long took out his savings and gave him two thousand oceans, so that this child could study well, and this child is our protagonist today, Shi Yuxiang.
Shi Yuxiang was born in 1907 in Chenxi County, Hunan Province, because of his father's relationship, he has a strong patriotic heart since he was a child, and his family situation is also very good, which allows Shi Yuxiang to study smoothly, but as a military family, every moment must worry about the next second, Shi Yuxiang, who is happy to study at school, received a letter from his mother, asking him to hurry home, and his father's coffin was sent back.
After Shi Yuxiang received the news, his heart was very sad, and when he returned home, what he saw was his father's spiritual seat, and his mother was crying next to him, at this time Shi Yuxiang was 19 years old, after understanding the origin of his father's death, his heart was even more disgusted with the warlord, and after receiving the money sent by He Long, the teenager was very moved, at that time He Long also saw Shi Yuxiang specifically, let him study well, and later be loyal to the country.
With the help and guidance of Commander He Long, Shi Yuxiang had a great yearning for communism, and soon after, he joined the Communist Youth League.
Unfortunately, however, it did not take long for the Ma-Ri Incident to break out in Hunan, and the Kuomintang officer Xu Kexiang led his subordinates to destroy the Hunan Federation of Trade Unions, and many of the CCP's organizational organs, released the local arrested local tycoons and inferior gentry, and frantically arrested and slaughtered our party personnel.
After being imprisoned for more than a year, the other party looked at him, interrogated him, could not find any useful information, released him from prison, after his release, Shi Yuxiang relied on the ocean given to him by He Long, successfully completed high school, and successfully entered the Whampoa Military Academy, becoming a student of the eighth phase of Whampoa.
However, not long after entering the military school, he was injured in training, injured in training, injured his left hand, and it was difficult to participate in training again with a broken arm, Shi Yuxiang was worried about the prospects, and at the advice of the instructor, Shi Yuxiang, as a graduate student, left the military school, fortunately, an instructor in the school at that time, seeing that his mind was flexible and quick, let him join the Nineteenth Division of the Nationalist Army, as a deputy company commander, in the army, Shi Yuxiang fought very bravely, participated in the battle many times, during the Red Army period, he fought with our army many times, both sides lost and won, and within a few years, He became the commander of the 589th Regiment of the Nationalist Army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he also participated in the Battle of Songhu The Battle of Xuzhou, in the fight with the Japanese, Shi Yuxiang showed his patriotic feelings, he fought with the enemy bravely and tenaciously, in order to organize the Japanese army, he led his men to fight with the enemy for 25 days, the soldiers under him suffered heavy casualties, of course, the result of the battle the Japanese army naturally also suffered heavy losses.
In the years of the War of Resistance, he has been fighting in the front line, and the long-term struggle has made him feel the fighting style of the Japanese, he began to fight guerrilla warfare with Japan in many places, leading a few capable soldiers under his command to harass the Japanese territory on a small scale and with many frequencies, and the Japanese who were mixed up could not start, and along the way to resist, his position was getting higher and higher, because of his excellent combat level, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Because of he long's help, he set up an anti-Japanese patriotic school in his hometown.
His classmates at the Whampoa Military Academy once sent him three people here, hoping that these few people would gain some gains in this school and fight on the battlefield in the future, but after a few days of training, Shi Yuxiang found that the young masters who had been sent were all young masters, and they simply could not bear the suffering of the troops However, he wrote a letter to a certain instructor in Yan'an kang da recommending them.
The letter was naturally a confrontational praise, of course, the content was not his heart words, just to send away these second ancestors, but what Shi Yuxiang did not expect was that his letter was robbed by the Kuomintang, the Nationalist army began to suspect that he had links with the Eighth Route Army, and Old Jiang also began to distrust him. Probably not to be killed, one of his compatriots saw this instruction in advance, immediately reported to him, let him flee quickly, shi Yuxiang, who received the news, after a period of consultation with his confidants, finally decided to take refuge in Hong Kong, and another twist in fate occurred in 1945.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang also ushered in peaceful coexistence, after the signing of the Double Tenth Agreement, after the promotion of his father's old friends, the old Chiang's instructions were invalidated, and Shi Yuxiang could continue to return to the army, but even so, in a military layoff, the old Jiang laid off Shi Yuxiang, Shi Yuxiang returned to his hometown, participated in the organization of the pro-communist anti-Chiang Kai-shek sports meeting, the old Jiang knew, quickly appointed him as a high official, Shi Yuxiang after the official position, back to the arms of the old Jiang, this is his first surrender.
In the War of Liberation, in the offensive of the Eighth Route Army, Shi Yuxiang used his brain again, he first contacted the comrades of our party and expressed that he wanted to surrender, but when he was discussing the details of the uprising, Old Jiang knew about this matter, once again found someone to appease Shi Yuxiang, and promised him a high-ranking official position.
After the liberation of Hunan, Shi Yuxiang knew that this was his last chance, and under the persuasion of his family, this time Shi Yuxiang made up his mind to return to our party, and his joining also provided a lot of help for the bandits.
However, because of his status as a national army and the crimes he committed as a bandit, Shi Yuxiang was arrested in 1952, studied and reformed, and was pardoned in 1964, and later, according to his contributions after his surrender, he received the care of the organization and served as a counselor of the Hunan government, and died in 1994, ending his tortuous and bumpy life.
Shi Yuxiang's life can be described as tortuous and bumpy, from a martyr's child to a general of the Nationalist army, and finally after the defeat of the Nationalist army, he fell into the grass, fortunately he found the correct, revolutionary direction and road in time, chose to surrender to the government, and finally ended up in a good ending.
