Speaking of the biggest traitor in modern times, it is undoubtedly the notorious Wang Jingwei, followed by Zhou Fohai, Li Shiqun, Chen Gongbo, Yin Rugeng, Chen Bijun, and so on.
The person we want to highlight today is the highest-ranking general of the Nationalist army to surrender to the Japanese army, who served as the commander-in-chief of the 24th Group Army, and this person was once famous in the War of Resistance Against Japan, which made the Japanese army extremely jealous, and fought with the famous Sakagaki Division of the Japanese Army, but what he did not expect was that he chose to surrender to the Japanese army later.
He was Pang Bingxun, Pang Bingxun was born in the late Qing Dynasty, because he saw the decay and incompetence of the Qing government at that time, so Pang Bingxun, as a hot-blooded boy, was determined to join the army, and in 1901 he also served in Yuan Shikai's new army, and he was highly respected.
However, soon Pang Bingxun accepted the idea of the Alliance, for which he secretly participated, resulting in Pang Bingxun being dismissed by the new army, and then Pang Bingxun continued to return to his hometown to start a living, selling burnt cakes, opening cloth mills, and so on.
Pang Bingxun joined the army again in 1916, when he was on an errand among the warlords of his immediate lineage, and he was also rewarded and promoted by Feng Yuxiang, but just when Chiang Kai-shek tempted him to be the chairman of Chaha Province, Pang Bingxun chose to betray Feng Yuxiang and defected to Chiang Kai-shek, and Pang Bingxun's most memorable achievements were undoubtedly achievements after defecting to Chiang Kai-shek.
With the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan in full swing, Pang Bingxun led the team to battle, did not expect to encounter the Japanese Army's Isoya Division in the first battle, this is a very effective division and regiment in the Japanese army, a real elite combat unit, but what was not expected was that Pang Bingxun led the team to play a very good result, and the result naturally ended in Pang Bingxun's retreat, but this battle did indeed cause great trouble to the Japanese Army's Isoya Division.
Pang Bingxun in the Fifth Theater of Operations also performed well, when Pang Bingxun's troops were facing the Japanese Sakagaki Division, which was another strong unit of the Japanese army, which could be called the elite of the elite, and the result was that although Pang Bingxun's troops suffered heavy losses, the position was still held.
That is, Pang Bingxun's many brilliant performances on the anti-Japanese battlefield made him appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the Twenty-fourth Army in 1939, but in 1943, when the Japanese army carried out a cruel sweep of the base area of our Taihang, Pang Bingxun went to war again, but was later besieged by the Japanese army in a cave.
Unexpectedly, Sun Dianying learned of this news, and soon Pang Bingxun was found by the Japanese army, after a series of negotiations, Pang Bingxun finally chose to surrender to the Japanese army, and was appointed by the puppet government of Wang Jingwei as the commander-in-chief of the pseudo-provisional Twenty-fourth Army.
In the later stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Pang Bingxun also chose to make meritorious contributions to the crime, but after the Liberation War, Pang Bingxun did not get Chiang Kai-shek's reuse again, after all, Chiang Kai-shek was still very concerned about Pang Bingxun's previous behavior.
In his later years, Pang Bingxun lived in Taipei with his children and several aunts and wives, and also opened a restaurant with Sun Lianzhong for the rest of his life, in 1963, at the age of 85, Pang Bingxun died of illness in Taipei.
