One of the great features of the Pingjin Campaign that people talk about is that Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Army's North China Suppression Campaign, ordered 250,000 Nationalist defenders to lay down their arms and accept the reorganization of the People's Liberation Army in Beiping through a peaceful uprising, protected this thousand-year-old city and 2 million citizens from the ravages of war, and made great contributions to the cause of the liberation of New China, but due to the different formation of the Nationalist army in North China, the peaceful uprising in Beiping was not smooth. Because Fu Zuoyi, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Nationalist Army's North China Suppression Army, as a miscellaneous military leader, also had two central army regiments under his command, namely the 4th Corps and the 9th Corps, nominally under the unified command of Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the North China Suppression Army, but the internal struggle within the Nationalist Army with many factions was already widely recognized as fierce, and the Central Army only obeyed Chiang Kai-shek's command, and the commanders of these two corps in North China, Li Wen and Shi Jue, were also Generals of Chiang Kai-shek's concubines, and when Fu Zuoyi held peace talks with the Chinese Communists, he was unwilling to follow Fu Zuoyi in the battlefield uprising. What is their final outcome?
During the Pingjin Campaign, Fu Zuoyi summoned the senior commanders of the North China Suppression Command to discuss whether to revolt on the battlefield, and the commanders of the 2 Central Army Corps clearly expressed their reluctance to revolt, but did not openly confront Fu Zuoyi, because although there were 300,000 people in the Central Army in North China, they privately directly obeyed Chiang Kai-shek's orders, so most of the officers of the Central Army did not want to follow Fu Zuoyi in their hearts to do a battlefield uprising. Li Wen and Shi Jue were the representatives of these people, that is, in addition to the Central Army's consistent tough attitude toward the PLA, almost all the families of senior officers of the Central Army in North China were in Nanjing, which was also a consideration for the officers of the Central Army in North China to revolt on the battlefield.
After Li Wen, commander of the Nationalist 4th Corps, returned to Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek saw that he did not punish him for his dead heart, although he lost hundreds of thousands of combat troops, he did not lead the troops to respond to Fu Zuoyi's peace talks plan, and it was also greatly touched that Chiang Kai-shek was able to persist in returning to The side of Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, and then he was appointed to the post of deputy director of the Xi'an Appeasement Office. Since then, he has been following Hu Zongnan in his stubborn resistance on the mainland, and continued to engage in military confrontation with the People's Liberation Army until he lost a large area of the northwest and southwest, and finally fled to Hong Kong. Not long after, Li Wen in Hong Kong was specially arranged by Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, and did not forget his loyal subordinate Chiang Kai-shek, and assigned Li Wen the post of senior staff officer in the "Ministry of National Defense", while Li Wen in Taiwan also served in this idle position for many years until his death in 1977.
After returning to Nanjing, Shi Jue, commander of the 9th Corps of the Nationalist Army, was sent by Chiang Kai-shek to Shanghai to accept the command of Tang Enbo, still serving as the commander of the corps, commanding more than 100,000 people and horses, fighting fiercely with the People's Liberation Army Huaye several times, and finally when the Nationalist army in southeast China was defeated on a large scale, he dragged more than 100,000 troops to the Zhoushan Islands to continue to occupy the islands, because he still held the actual military power in his hands and was deeply used by Chiang Kai-shek, so Shi Jue has always been in a high position in the Kuomintang army, and has always achieved the position of second-level general of the army. If we talk about it according to the Kuomintang military rank system, this is equivalent to the founding general of the People's Liberation Army.
Shi Jue, who returned to Chiang Kai-shek's camp from Peiping, has always been in a very stable position within the Kuomintang army, and unlike the tragic end of many senior generals of the Kuomintang army who had collapsed to Taiwan, Shi Jue not only promoted his ranks very quickly and even surpassed many of his former superiors, but also finally received a good death, dying in Taiwan in 1986.
For Li Wen and Shi Jue, the commanders of the two Central Army Corps in North China, their final outcome was quite good, but for the whole situation, even though these 2 people in Peiping were unwilling to follow Fu Zuoyi's peaceful uprising, the final impact was almost minimal, and they could not make any changes to the direction of history, of course, they also contributed, that is, during the arduous period of the War of Resistance, these 2 people were the backbone of the Chinese army's resistance against Japan, born and died for national freedom and resistance to aggression. This is worth affirming.
