During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, especially after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist Army undertook the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Japanese on the frontal battlefield. In the process of fighting the enemy to the death, many famous anti-Japanese generals and anti-Japanese heroes emerged in the Nationalist army, such as Wang Yaowu, Xue Yue, Sun Liren, Hu Lian, Zhang Zizhong, and Tong Linge. However, there were also some generals of the Nationalist army who were frightened by the temporary strength of the Japanese Kou and became shameful traitors; according to incomplete statistics, nearly a hundred generals of the Nationalist Army surrendered to the Japanese and the Puppets during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. He is Pang Bingxun.
Mention the name Pang Bingxun, many people may not be very familiar with it. Born in 1879, he served as a soldier in the Qing Army in his early years. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Pang Bingxun returned to his hometown to marry and have children, and made a living by farming and doing small business. In 1920, Pang Bingxun's hometown suffered a severe drought, there was no harvest, in order to support his family, the 41-year-old Pang Bingxun joined the army for the second time, surrendered to Wu Peifu's men, and was promoted to the commander of the 11th Division because of his military achievements.
Later, he switched to Lao Jiang, but soon after switched to Feng Yuxiang and was promoted to commander of the 20th Army. Later, Han Fuyu betrayed Feng Yuxiang and defected to Old Jiang, pang Bingxun was ordered to lead the troops to block at Heishi Pass, and almost wrapped Han Fuyu in dumplings, with which Pang Bingxun became Feng Yuxiang's confidant and won a reward of 50,000 oceans. However, the good times did not last long, and Pang Bingxun led his troops to Zhang Xueliang and served as the commander of the First Infantry Division. After the Xi'an Incident, Pang Bingxun changed the court again and threw himself under the old Jiang Gate.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Pang Bingxun served as the commander of the Third Army and led his troops to garrison Linyi, under the command of Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater. At that time, although Pangbu was known as a regiment, the actual strength was only 5 regiments and more than 13,000 people. However, it was this more than 10,000 miscellaneous troops that fought bloody on the battlefield and blocked the continuous onslaught of the Japanese Itagaki Division. Li Zongren spoke highly of this battle, writing in his memoirs: "The enemy's repeated charge and killing for several days, with casualties, could not cross the thunder pool one step. At that time, there were no less than dozens of Chinese and foreign reporters and friendly military attaches watching the battle in the Xuzhou area, and no one could have imagined that the best 'imperial army' would be frustrated by the "miscellaneous" troops of indochina that have never been seen. For a while, chinese and foreign noises were heard, and the sound of color was everywhere. The Linyi Defensive Battle was Pang Bingxun's most glorious moment during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and it also won him countless praises. With his achievements in this battle, Pang Bingxun was able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the 24th Army.
In early April 1943, the Japanese army dispatched heavy troops to attack Pangbu, at this time Pang Bingxun had 70,000 people under him, but in order to protect himself, he fled without resistance. Because the Japanese army pursued too tightly, Pang Bingxun was separated from his subordinates on the way to escape, became the commander of the light pole, and surrendered to the Japanese army under the persuasion of Sun Dianying, becoming a shameful traitor. Pang Bingxun was the commander-in-chief of the 24th Army group at the time of his surrender to the enemy, and his rank was general of the army, so he became the highest-ranking general of the Nationalist army during the War of Resistance. After Japan's surrender, because Pang Bingxun held military power, the old Chiang did not liquidate him, and in 1963 Pang Bingxun fell ill and died at the age of 85.
