According to legend, during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Nian Qianyao, who had served as the governor of Sichuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the general of Fuyuan, was given special favors for assisting the Yongzheng Emperor in seizing the throne, as well as for his meritorious efforts in quelling the rebellion of Tibet and Qinghai Lobzang Danjin, and the nian tangyao who was in a high position was extremely arrogant in his behavior and particularly extravagant in life, it is rumored that the dish that the general likes to eat is called "crystal cabbage heart", the raw material of this dish is selected from the heart of a large cabbage to make a delicate small plate, although the dish is simple, the cooking process is very complicated The cost of the raw materials required is also very huge--- 200 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the daily expenses of ordinary people for generations, which also shows that the "cabbage heart" was very rare and precious in that era.
In the northeast land during the liberation war, there was a folk song that "to eat vegetables is to eat cabbage hearts, to fight a war, to fight a war, to fight a new Sixth Army", even the plaster soldiers of the People's Liberation Army in Dongye sang this familiar song, so what kind of magic did the "cabbage heart" troops in their mouths --- Liao Yaoxiang's New Sixth Army have, and how arrogant they really were on the battlefield, so that the proud Dongye soldiers could also be impressed on the battlefield?
Liao Yaoxiang's New Sixth Army was the backbone of the Anti-Japanese Resistance of the Chinese Army in the expedition to the Battlefield of Yunnan and Burma during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was composed of the newly formed 22nd Division of the 5th Army, and also had jurisdiction over the 14th Division and the 207th Division of the Youth Army. The New Sixth Army, which is fully equipped with advanced US weapons and equipment, and has large-caliber howitzers, tanks, mortars, heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons, in that arduous and extremely difficult era of the War of Resistance, the personnel quality and weapons and equipment of the combat officers and men surpassed the armor divisions deployed by the Japanese army in the Burma battlefield in the same period, and even when they went south from India to conquer the Japanese army in Yunnan and Burma, they drove the Japanese Kou in front of them with a sweeping posture, but the casualties of the New Sixth Army in the frontal assault were also relatively large. The casualty rate of more than two-thirds also shows that this unit is very bloody in fighting and courageous in not fearing any enemy.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liao Yaoxiang's new Sixth Army, which was transferred back to China, was deployed by the Kuomintang commander in the northeast region where the Kuomintang and the Communists were fiercely contested to accept du Yuming's command, and after landing on Huludao by boat, the vanguard troops launched a fierce attack on the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, which had occupied most of the northeast in advance, and was the number one trump card under Du Yuming's command to capture the Jinzhou fortress, and then as a vanguard force, they attacked all the way north, successively capturing the military key points around most of Shenyang, such as Anshan, Liaoyuan, and Faku. It made great contributions to the final invasion of the northeast national army into the largest city in the northeast at that time, which was the most industrially developed. In order to consolidate the rule of the Kuomintang army in the northeast at the beginning of the Liberation War, the New Sixth Army was stationed in the western part of Shenyang, until the New First Army and the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army reached a stalemate in Siping, the New Sixth Army once again attacked the Faku area, continuously broke through several blocking lines of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army and reached the main battlefield to join the siege battle, the main force of the army's new 22nd Division and the right wing could not attack the new 38th Division of the New Army almost at the same time rushed into Siping Street, this battle, Lin Biao, commander of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, who held 80,000 defensive troops, remembered deeply, and the fact that most of the liberation fighters in the battle suffered casualties also made the officers and men of the People's Liberation Army feel bitter.
After the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, which trailed north to Changchun, retreated, tens of thousands of people and horses of the New Sixth Army rushed all the way to the tall and strong Changchun City, which was originally a fortified city that had been operating for a long time as the capital of puppet Manchuria during the Japanese and pseudo-Japanese periods, Liao Yaoxiang commanded the New Sixth Army to use less than one battalion of troops to outwit the next city, and deceived a large army to rush in after opening a city gate heavily defended by the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, forcing the defending officers and men of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army to abandon the city in a hurry again. Rushing to the north bank of the Songhua River, which was cold that day, with the glory of victory and the change of defense of the New First Army and the 71st Army behind them, they returned to the garrison in Shenyang with arrogant steps. It can be said that during this period, Liao Yaoxiang's new Sixth Army was the first-class hero of the Northeast Nationalist Army's strategic confrontation with the Northeast Democratic United Army across the Songhua River, and almost laid more than two-thirds of the territory for the Northeast Nationalist Army.
At the time of the final destruction, Liao Yaoxiang's new Sixth Army also showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, tenacious will to fight, and super battlefield resilience. When passing through the Black Mountain and Dahushan areas, as the second batch of offensive troops to attack the New Sixth Army of the 10th Column Defensive Position of Dongye, the main force of the new 22nd Division and the 14th Division firmly controlled the area around dahushan after fierce fighting, but because the corps headquarters of Liao Yaoxiang's 9th Corps was prematurely disrupted, and several armies of friendly forces were scattered under the impact of several main columns in the intruding Dongye, the battlefield order was very chaotic, and the situation of hundreds of thousands of people mixed together also made it difficult to distinguish between you and me for a while on the battlefield. At this time, the newly formed 22nd Division and the 14th Division were one of the few units of the 9th Corps that fought in groups and regiments, and all the units at the division and battalion level had officers in continuous bloody battles with Dongye, while the 14th Division, which had a slightly weaker combat effectiveness, first encountered misfortune, surrounded by the large strength of the main column of Dongye, and after fierce resistance, it had to disperse its resistance because the divisional command structure was destroyed, and was surrounded and annihilated by the Platon Army several times larger than itself, and still took the initiative to move closer to the main force, while the new 22nd Division stubbornly resisted more fiercely on the battlefield. If Dongye wanted to lay the position held by the newly formed 22nd Division, he had to pay a heavy price; almost no one in the whole division surrendered, especially the regimental and battalion-level officers were all killed in battle, and most of the officers and men at the grass-roots level were killed in battle; only those who were seriously injured would be captured, and there were only a few people who survived.
Liao Yaoxiang escaped under the desperate cover of the old subordinates of the newly formed 22nd Division of the basic unit, walked to Jinzhou to be captured by Dongye, who had only been interrogated, and sat on the truck that Dongye transported him to the rear to report, when he heard the lyrics of the Dongye soldiers singing: "Eat vegetables to eat cabbage hearts, fight to fight the New Sixth Army", Liao Yaoxiang also had a bitter smile in the corner of his mouth, his hands trembled slightly, he took off the glass glasses he wore because of the eye injury during the War of Resistance, wiped them with the corners of his clothes, and then buried his head in the bumpy car without saying a word.
