The name Du Yuming should be familiar to everyone, the backbone of the Huangpu department, the national lieutenant general, the famous anti-Japanese general, he is famous for leading the Chinese expeditionary force to fight in Burma, stubbornly guarding the Only External Passage of the Yunnan Burma Highway at that time, and the other is the father of Du Zhili, the wife of the world-famous Chinese physicist Yang Zhenning.
Du Yuming's position in the Nationalist Army was not bad, otherwise he would not have been allowed to lead the expeditionary force to Burma at that time, and he had previously served as a commander in the Kunlun Pass campaign against Japan in Guinan, winning the Kunlun Pass Victory.
In 1945, when he clearly solved Longyun was an order he gave to Du Yuming, who also persuaded Old Jiang because of his personal relationship, and finally agreed not to use bombers and cannons. As a result, Long Yun was angry afterwards, and Old Jiang felt that he could not afford to offend Long Yun, so he asked Du Yuming to carry the pot and revoke his position as commander-in-chief of the Kunming Defense and commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army, and transferred him to the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security.
The northeast bordered the Soviet Union, and the old Chiang Kai-shek originally intended him to return to the northeast, but he did not expect that the Soviet Union had withdrawn its troops early, and now it is the Democratic Coalition Army that is taking over the northeast. Du Yuming told Lao Jiang that it was not feasible to use force to solve the northeast, but Lao Jiang did not care, and while hindering the pressure to start peace talks, he ordered a tight attack.
To be honest, Du Yuming has really been a brick since he participated in the exhibition, where he needs to move, and the long-term combat rush has caused him physical problems. He first took Fushun, Benxi, Liaoyang, Anshan and a series of other key cities in only half a year, and then suffered frequent defeats and fiascos, so the mood fluctuations of sudden up and down extreme joy and anger made his health deteriorate again, and he could only return to Shanghai for treatment in 1947.
Du Yuming here is not ambitious, but Guo Ruzhi is full of spirits over there. Guo Rugui was known as one of Chen Cheng's "Thirteen Taibao", of course, this is not a boast, but that he used Chen Cheng's momentum to gain official fortunes and prosperity at a time when the Nationalist Army was in conflict with each other at that time, which was actually a mockery.
He maneuvered between Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, and Gu Zhutong, all the way from the deputy director of the General Office of the General Headquarters to the deputy director of the Fifth Department of the Ministry of National Defense, Chen Cheng was still defending Guo Rugui when his own achievements were not good, and not only recommended him to serve as the director of the Third Department of the Ministry of National Defense (that is, the War Department), but also sent him to serve as the chief of staff of the Army Headquarters in Xuzhou, and the commander of the army at that time was Gu Zhutong.
Xuzhou this local strategic significance is very important, since the Republic of China do not know how many big battles have been fought here, following the Battle of Xuzhou in the War of Resistance Against Japan, here once again became the most politically influential of the three major battles of the Liberation War, the most complex war style of the battlefield, we call it the "Huaihai Campaign", the Nationalist army became the "Battle of Xu Beng".
Before the Battle of Huaihai, Lao Jiang quickly found Du Yuming again and appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou's "Suppression General". The battle plan that Du Yuming has been giving to Old Jiang is actually more appropriate, and he is really making plans for Old Jiang, which can be said to be doing his best, but helplessly Old Jiang always does not listen to him, either does not adopt his plan, or chooses the one he thinks is the least feasible among the several plans listed by him.
Before the Battle of Huaihai, Du Yuming routinely gave Lao Jiang several combat methods, and it happened that Guo Rujie also provided a plan, and received multiple approvals from Lao Jiang and Gu Zhutong, and Du Yuming's proposition was once again shelved.
If it was Du Yuming, it didn't matter, but Guo Rugui was always at ease, as early as before the Huaihai Campaign began, Du Yuming had already mentioned that Guo Rugui had a problem, but no one believed him at that time, Du Yuming "felt that it was useless to argue, and if he quarreled, he would lose Jiang's favor", and could only retreat to the second place, saying that if Guo Rugui knew his battle plan, then he would no longer carry it out.
After the Outbreak of the Battle of Huaihai, liu Zhi, who was then the commander-in-chief of the Xuzhou bandits, had a hard time hoping for Du Yuming to come, but he did not agree with Du Yuming's plan. Du Yuming clearly pointed out that the target of the PLA is not Xuzhou, but Huang Baitao. But who is Huang Baitao? The "lone minister" in the national army, no faction, no foundation and no backing, Liu Zhi could not trust Huang Baitao for ten thousand, believing that Huang Baitao could not hold it, so he was unwilling to take the initiative to attack Liu Bocheng.
The soldiers were fast, Liu Zhi did not dare to attack and did not want to sincerely save Huang Baitao, only to wait for the news that Huang Baitao's entire army was destroyed, Du Yuming said, either simply order to fight, or directly go to the war, who knows that old Jiang fainted, shouting that Du Yuming had to go back to solve the siege of Huang Wei, and finally ended up with nothing.
Some people probably have to ask, then what happened to Guo Ruhuai during this period? Of course, the reason why the Nationalist army is so collapsed is that on the one hand, it is true that the high-level judgment is wrong, indecisive and vague, and on the other hand, it is because Guo Rujie has long continuously transmitted the intelligence of the Nationalist army to our army.
Yes, you read that right, Du Yuming's intuition is correct, Guo Rujie is indeed a spy, and it is the biggest spy inserted by our army in the national army. When all the dust settled and Guo Rugui's identity was revealed, countless soldiers of the Nationalist army were in an uproar, but in fact, Guo Rugui was not a "betrayal", he had a red heart to the people from the beginning.
Guo Rugui's father was a reader, who once ranked first in the chongqing governor's case, if it were not for the abolition of the imperial examination system, he originally thought of "folding gui in the toad palace", so this Guo Rugui was initially named Guo Rugui; at that time, since he had the ability to read, it was impossible not to know the "May Fourth Movement", Guo Rugui was immediately attracted by the revolutionary ideas and decided to devote himself to the revolution in Guangzhou.
At that time, Guangzhou can be said to be the place with the strongest revolutionary atmosphere, Guo Rugui was affected by the environment, and after being admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, he simply changed his name to Guo Rugui, and finally successfully joined the organization in 1928. Guo Ruzhi's cousin was Guo Rudong, at that time for various reasons Guo Rugui was stranded in Sichuan, and lost contact with the organization, just when Guo Rudong obeyed the orders of the old Chiang Kai-shek to wantonly clean up, Guo Ruzhi saw that the situation was not right, and could only go to the Japanese military academy to avoid the limelight.
Not long after Guo Rugui went to Japan, the September 18 Incident broke out, and the international students in Jingdong were excited and ran in a team to apply for withdrawal. Through the embassy, Guo Rugui returned to Shanghai and entered the Chinese Army University by mistake.
Later, when the July 7 Incident broke out, there was no so-called distinction between our army and the nationalist army, and where the great enemy could still take care of these things at present, first drive away the Japanese Kou and then say, Guo Ruzhi resolutely threw himself into the anti-Japanese army, and was valued by Chen Cheng for his outstanding performance in the Battle of Songhu, and began to enter the center of the nationalist army step by step.
The great enemy was naturally united in his will at the moment, but after resolving the external contradictions, the internal contradictions became prominent again, and Guo Rugui really did not pay attention to the various behaviors of the Nationalist army, so as soon as the War of Resistance Against Japan ended, he secretly contacted our army, and originally wanted to return directly, but because he was already in a high position in the Nationalist army at this time, our army simply asked him to stay still and try to pass on as much information as possible to the nationalist army.
Later, after the defeat of the Nationalist army, Guo Rugui finally returned to our army, but at first he did not clarify his actual identity, but handled him according to the surrender of the general. As for Du Yuming, he was captured after the First World War in Huaihai and was granted amnesty after 10 years of custody. But his military career did take a toll on his body, and he died of kidney failure in Beijing in 1981.
When Du Yuming was seriously ill and had not yet died, in the face of Guo Rujie, who had come to visit him, he really couldn't help but secretly ask: "Tell me the truth, are you a spy after all?" Guo Rugui saw that Du Yuming was like this, and it was not good to recognize it, nor did he recognize it, so he could only say vaguely: "We belong to different political views." The meaning behind this sentence is actually understood by everyone.
