During the Republic of China period, in the Kuomintang army at that time, there was a general with outstanding military talent, he was Sun Liren. Sun Liren graduated from Tsinghua University, Purdue University in the United States, and the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, and he was not a general of Chiang Kai-shek's concubine, but he was close to Minister of Finance Song Ziwen, and he was also the most capable general of the Taxation Police Corps.
During the Battle of Songhu, Sun Li, who was the commander of the second detachment of the Taxation Police Corps, was hit with thirteen rounds of shrapnel, and Song Ziwen sent his brother Song Ziliang to Hong Kong for treatment. Sun Liren's brilliant moment was in Burma, two battles in northern Burma, Sun Liren led the New 38th Division and later the New First Army to kill 33,000 Japanese troops, wound more than 70,000 Japanese troops, and capture tens of thousands of Japanese troops.
Fengshan military training
After the end of the War of Resistance, Sun Liren led the New First Army to the northeast. In the early days of the Liberation War, the New First Army led by Sun Liren put a lot of pressure on the People's Liberation Army. At that time, there was a saying circulating in the Northeast Field Army: "To eat vegetables, you must eat cabbage hearts, and to fight a war, you must fight a new army." ”
However, Sun Liren had a bad relationship with Du Yuming, the commander of the Northeast Security At the time, and did not have a good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. On July 8, 1947, Du Yuming left the northeast for medical reasons and went to Shanghai to recuperate, and Zheng Dongguo acted as the commander of the northeast security. However, on the third day after the Nationalist government appointed Zheng Dongguo to replace Du Yuming as the commander of the Northeast Security, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Sun Liren as deputy commander of the army and commander of army training.
Chiang Kai-shek's move was actually a clear ascension and a secret surrender, transferring Sun Liren from a feudal official with heavy troops and great power in his hands to a false post. Sun Liren was very clear about Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, but he had no choice but to do so, and finally decided to go to the rear to seriously train troops.
Sun Liren's first job was to choose a training base, and the Nationalist government wanted Sun Liren to train troops in Nanjing or Hankou. However, Sun Liren believed that the scale of the civil war in China at that time was huge, and the establishment of training bases on the mainland would inevitably be affected by the war, so Sun Liren chose the location several times and finally chose the address in Fengshan Town near Kaohsiung. Here is adjacent to the port of Kaohsiung, when the Japanese army is here, there are still many houses, recruits are well trained, and can also be directly through the port of Kaohsiung, transported to East China, North China and other places.
After Sun Liren set the training base in Fengshan, he began to form his own team, and he transferred Jia Youhui, deputy commander of the New First Army, to be the deputy commander of the Army Training Department, and Gao Shantang Shouzhi, former major general of the First Army of the New First Army, as chief of staff. In addition, Sun Liren also drew more than 400 people from the New First Army to follow his old subordinates during the period of the Tax Police Corps. Sun Liren's practice greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the New First Army, which was a huge difference from the strength of the New First Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In order to attract young people to sign up for the army, Sun Liren also made a documentary on the process of training soldiers in Fengshan, and then put it in the theater and played it with a free movie. At that time, many young people saw the documentary of Fengshan military training, and the neat military appearance and advanced weapons and equipment of Fengshan Training Camp really attracted many young people to become soldiers.
Suspected by Chiang Kai-shek
Sun Liren's training methods are very set, and after Chiang Kai-shek led a group of defeated soldiers to retreat to Taiwan in 1949, Sun Liren was in Fengshan
The address of the Fourth Army Officer Training Course is the school site,
The CSKA Officers College, formerly the Whampoa Military Academy, is still in existence. Sun Liren was very strict about the selection of officers, and every officer had to go through a strict examination.
In addition, Sun Liren also combined his decades of experience in leading troops to write a book entitled "The Study of Unification and Imperial Governance," which not only contains the principles and principles of army rule, the precautions of deputies in peacetime and combat, as well as quotations from famous generals in ancient and modern China and abroad, and the experience of using soldiers on behalf of Sun Liren in fighting wars.
Sun Liren also introduced some training methods from the United States Military Academy at West Point and the Virginia Military Academy in the United States to Army officers, and his relationship with the Americans was also very good, so those who performed well in this military school were expected to be selected to be sent to the United States to study at the American military academy. With the efforts of Sun Liren, more than 500,000 Kuomintang troops have been trained, and these modern units have extraordinary combat effectiveness and are different from the previous old-fashioned troops.
Although Sun Liren had a strong ability to train troops, he was jealous of Chiang Kai-shek because he was straightforward. On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, Tang Enbo led a group of remnants of the Kuomintang army to flee to the island of Taiwan, and the task of receiving these remnants was entrusted to Sun Liren, but Sun Liren refused to vacate the barracks of the training camp and give them to Tang Enbo's troops to live in.
Chiang Kai-shek blamed Sun Liren for being selfish, but Sun Liren preached: "Am I selfish? You are selfish, who does not know that Tombaugh's troops are your concubines, if the communists fight, where can you go? You can only jump into the Pacific Ocean. Sun Liren also openly said that Tang Enbo's troops were garbage troops and were unwilling to let them be stationed in, which made Chiang Kai-shek very embarrassed.
In addition, Americans also greatly appreciate Sun Liren's talents. On February 12, 1949, General MacArthur, supreme commander of the Commander of the U.S. Far East, extended an olive branch to Sun Liren and sent his Major General's aide-de-camp to Taiwan to invite Sun Liren to Tokyo to discuss the grand plan for the defense of Taiwan. After the two met, MacArthur also gave Sun Liren a codebook, saying that if there was any situation, he could immediately send a coded telegram to the US military to contact him. But Sun Liren was not good at political struggle and did not understand MacArthur's meaning.
White ball
The series of actions of Sun Li and the Americans made Chiang Kai-shek very uneasy, and Chiang Kai-shek also began to set up military academies to train his own officers. In early 1950, Chiang Kai-shek established the Yuanshan Officer Training Corps to confront the Fengshan Army Officer School set up by Sun Liren. Chiang Kai-shek did not appoint AD-esachi instructors who had a good relationship with Sun Liren as school instructors, but instead made Japanese instructors serve as school instructors.
At the end of 1949, at the invitation of Chiang Kai-shek, Okamura negotiated with Sumita Andeshiro and Jiro Togawa (former commander of the Sixth Army) to recruit seventeen officers, including the staff officer of the old Japanese Army Corps or the officer of the company commander level, to form a regiment in Tokyo, because the head of the military advisory group was a major general of the Japanese Army
Naoaki Tomita (
The pseudonym is not Bai Hongliang
Therefore, this military advisory group is also called the "White Regiment". In 1972, Chiang Kai-shek also appointed Naoaki Tomita as a general in the National Revolutionary Army.
In fact, not only Sun Liren, but even some of Chiang Kai-shek's generals were very dissatisfied, because all the instructors in this "Bai Hongliang Regiment" were all Japanese war criminals, who committed numerous crimes against the Chinese people, and their hands were stained with the blood of Chinese people! Sun Liren once said directly to the generals: "Old Chiang Kai-shek's practice of the White Regiment has hurt Chinese's national feelings and self-esteem too much, that is, to counterattack, and we cannot recognize the enemy as friends, so let's use these criminals to train our officers."
Sun Liren was very unconvinced by these Japanese instructors, feeling that these Japanese people had been beaten up by him and were his defeated generals, and instead of asking the Japanese to be instructors, it was better to let the Americans become instructors.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted the generals to change their attitudes, and also to clean up Sun Liren,
A large-scale exercise was held, and the two sides of the units participating in the exercise were three army divisions trained by the "White Regiment" and the troops trained by the Sun Liren Fengshan Army Officer School. As a result, the results of the exercise surprised everyone, and the three Army divisions trained by the Japanese army won by absolute superiority. After that, although Sun Liren was dissatisfied, he did not say anything.
After that, Chiang Kai-shek put all thousands of officers of the Kuomintang army in Taiwan into the white regiment for training.
When receiving training, the size of the military rank and the number of battle achievements are all removed from their original positions.
After graduation, Chiang Kai-shek deliberately placed soldiers of different backgrounds in a unit, and Chiang Kai-shek used this series of methods to remove the mountaintop doctrine in the nationalist army, regain absolute control of the army, and prepare for the later imprisonment of Sun Liren.
