In January 1949, the smoke of gunfire filled the sky over Chen Guanzhuang, and the headquarters of the Kuomintang Second Corps had long lost its former arrogance and self-confidence, and fell into chaos and panic.
Faced with the heavy siege of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the commander of the corps, Qiu Qingquan, lost the will to fight, just muttered "collapsed, really collapsed", and took out a bottle of wine to pour alone.
By the 9th, Chen Guanzhuang was completely shrouded in the artillery fire of the PLA, and Du Yuming, Qiu Qingquan and others also ushered in the final moment. Qiu Qingquan yelled into the phone: "I can't command it anymore, you decide to act on your own." Saying that, he went to see Du Yuming and tried to break through under the support and protection of the special agent battalion.
As soon as he left Chen Guanzhuang, the team was in chaos, and Du Yuming was captured by the PLA in the early morning of the 10th. Qiu Qingquan was killed at the age of 47, and his last honor was recorded in the "Huaihai Campaign Memorial" forever as a valuable historical relic to witness the founding of New China.
It should be said that Qiu Qingquan has made contributions to the Chinese nation. As a rare general in the Kuomintang army, he was not only good at administering the army, but also proficient in English and German, and successively wrote military works such as "Teaching the First and Second Episodes" and "On Army Building". During the Northern Expedition, Qiu Qingquan took the initiative to fight many times and made some battle merits, objectively promoting the development of the Chinese nation; In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Qiu Qingquan took the lead and made outstanding combat merits, becoming a famous anti-Japanese general who contributed to the country and the nation.
However, during the Liberation War, Qiu Qingquan chose to stand on the opposite side of the people, which finally led to the end of being killed by the PLA, leaving only some sighs and sighs for posterity.
After Qiu Qingquan's death, what happened to his two wives and six children?
Qiu Qingquan's student days
Qiu Qingquan was born in 1902 and is a native of Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province. Qiu Qingquan's father worked as a small worker and also ran a fish business with his younger brother, so his family was quite good and he bought some fields.
At the age of 8, Qiu Qingquan was sent to private school by his father, and at the age of 10, he attended Ki Sheng Primary School. Qiu Qingquan has been diligent and studious since childhood, and has often been praised and rewarded by teachers.
In 1916, 14-year-old Qiu Qingquan was admitted to the county town's higher primary school, and finally graduated with honors in the first place, and then was admitted to the Zhejiang Provincial No. 10 Middle School in Wenzhou, and graduated from the school with the second place.
Throughout Qiu Qingquan's student days, this is the existence of a pure scholar, who can be called talented and full of poetry. Had it not been for the influence of war and the situation, he might have grown up to be a refined scholar, but in those days, human destiny was often difficult to autonomize.
In 1922, Qiu Qingquan was admitted to the sociology department of Shanghai University, where the president was Yu Youren, a Kuomintang veteran. Influenced by this, Qiu Qingquan very much agreed with the KMT's proposition and believed that the KMT was orthodox.
By 1924, Shanghai University was spreading the slogan "Revolution to Huangpu", and although Qiu Qingquan had read many books, he was very superstitious, and he found someone to calculate it for himself, saying that his "fortune is south, and nobles help him."
In this context, the young Qiu Qingquan also yearned for the south and decided to try his luck in Guangzhou. After that, Qiu Qingquan was admitted to the engineering department of the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and also began his military career.
From a pure student to a soldier in the Nationalist government, Qiu Qingquan voted with his feet and completed the transformation of his identity.
Qiu Qingquan's military career
In September 1925, after graduating from Whampoa, Qiu Qingquan participated in the Eastern Crusade, was integrated into the First Army of the National Revolution, served as a second lieutenant platoon leader, and officially became an officer.
However, although Qiu Qingquan graduated from the first four periods of the famous Whampoa in his early years, he did not have a prosperous official fortune and was not particularly appreciated. Until 1933, it was still unknown and had mediocre results, except for a job as a major general in the Political Training Department of the Kuomintang Central Army Officer School.
Of course, for many people, a major general in his early thirties is already a very anti-heavenly existence, but the conceited Qiu Qingquan believes that he should not be put on hold, and he should prove himself on the battlefield and play a greater role.
Fortunately, Qiu Qingquan soon ushered in a turnaround. In May 1934, Chiang Kai-shek, who had always admired German military ideas, decided to send young and middle-aged officers from Whampoa to study in Germany, and also conducted a special examination for this purpose.
At this time, Qiu Qingquan once again learned to be a bully, and he got the first place in the exam, obtained an extremely precious place, and followed several other colleagues who passed the exam to Germany in July of that year.
It was this experience that brought Qiu Qingquan into Chiang Kai-shek's field of vision, and Chiang Kai-shek began to look at this student, who had not been very prominent before, and paid more attention.
In Germany, Qiu Qingquan's military literacy was once again sublimated, he studied tactical strategy at the Berlin Army University, in addition to studying the military works of Balk, Stephen and others, he was also committed to studying Gudrian's armored cavalry tactics, and even foresaw that World War II would be the stage of mechanized troops.
In May 1937, not long after Qiu Qingquan returned to China, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, and as a soldier, he also embarked on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. In the defense of Nanjing, Qiu Qingquan participated in commanding the Battle of Purple Mountain. After the fall of Nanjing, Qiu Qingquan did not have time to retreat and was trapped in the city, only to be able to escape in February of the following year.
Objectively speaking, Qiu Qingquan was still very effective in the War of Resistance, and as early as March 1938, Qiu Qingquan, who was freed from Nanjing, became the deputy commander of the 200th Division expanded from the Army Armored Corps, and the division commander was Du Yuming.
After that, Qiu Qingquan led the mechanized column to participate in the Lanfeng Campaign and the Xinyang Campaign, and also personally led armored troops deep behind enemy lines, which made the Japanese army fearful.
In the counterattack in western Yunnan in June 1944, Qiu Qingquan once again gave full play to his characteristics of "Qiu madman" and personally led the army to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army could not echo each other and beat the enemy's soul. Subsequently, he personally led the army to open the Burma Road.
Undoubtedly, Qiu Qingquan was a famous anti-Japanese general who made contributions to the Chinese nation and the Chinese people.
However, Qiu Qingquan was foolishly loyal to the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek, and was willingly driven in the Liberation War, and served Chiang Kai-shek's constant promotion of officials and knights, and eventually died in the battlefield.
Qiu Qingquan's wife and children
Qiu Qingquan has two wives, and his ex-wife Huang and Qiu Qingquan are arranged marriages and do not have much love for each other, so when Qiu Qingquan met Ye Ruijun, who was in love, in 1927, he divorced Huang and married Ye Ruijun two years later.
Huang had 1 son, and Ye Rui had 3 sons and 2 daughters. Among the four sons, the name of one is unknown, and the other three are Qiu Guoxian, Qiu Guowei, and Qiu Kunlun; The two daughters are Qiu Lina and Qiu Liva.
Qiu Qingquan's wife and children were in Nanjing, and after receiving Qiu Qingquan's death in battle, they were grief-stricken and cried in front of his spiritual hall. They originally thought that Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang would appreciate Qiu Qingquan's merits and treat them kindly, but they did not expect that the "party-state" for whom Qiu Qingquan was "loyal" would turn a blind eye to them and be extremely cold.
At that time, the Kuomintang building was about to fall, and all the bigwigs were busy transferring property and fleeing for their lives, and who could care about this family member who had fought bloody battles for the "party-state"? On April 20, more than three months after Qiu Qingquan's death, the People's Liberation Army launched a battle to cross the river, and Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang abandoned them and fled to Taiwan.
Soon after the liberation of Nanjing, Huang and Ye Ruijun fled south with their six children and followed the defeated Kuomintang army, and were captured by the PLA on the way. Instead of embarrassing them, the People's Liberation Army issued them travel fees and passes to help them travel to Taiwan.
Among them, Qiu Guowei witnessed the benevolent and righteous deeds of the People's Liberation Army, was influenced by the Communist Party of China and the People's Liberation Army, and decided to stay and use his own modest efforts to contribute to the upcoming construction of New China. Ye did not force Qiu Guowei to go to Taiwan with them, she thought that the People's Liberation Army was so benevolent and righteous, and her son might be the best choice to stay.
After Ye Ruijun took his children to Taiwan, he did not get the preferential treatment he deserved, Taiwan was chaotic at that time, everyone was busy fighting for power and profit, and there was no time to take care of the family of a fallen person.
In desperation, Huang and Ye Ruijun had to take their 3 sons and 2 daughters to the United States to make a living. Day and night, they ran around, sweated and wept, and used their hard work to send the children to the university one by one. The hard work of Huang and Ye Ruijun was not in vain in the end, and the 3 sons and 2 daughters all grew up and became talents, and they were also very filial to them.
Huang, Ye Ruijun and their 3 sons and 2 daughters have not forgotten Qiu Qingquan, and almost every year they return to their hometown in Zhejiang to visit the graves of their husbands and fathers. In the 80s of the 20th century, Ye Ruijun also returned to China to visit relatives, and met Qiu Qingquan's cousin Qiu Qinghua (a member of the Communist Party of China and the leader of Zhejiang Province from southern Zhejiang) in Hangzhou.
In contrast to his mother and siblings, who remained in China, Qiu Guowei, who remained in China, was alone, but under the care of the party, he graduated from St. John's University in 1952 and was arranged to work in the Shanghai library. While working in the library, Qiu Guowei met his love, his girlfriend is very beautiful, and he is still a descendant of Yuan Shikai. At that time, many people were pursuing her, but she only fell in love with Qiu Guowei, and the two eventually became husband and wife, and had 3 lovely daughters, and the life of a family of five was enviable.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and Qiu Guowei's wife unfortunately contracted a serious illness in the countryside, and died because of the backward medical conditions in the countryside.
During the special period, Qiu Guowei was shocked due to his identity and was later rehabilitated. In 1983, Qiu Guowei served as a member of the sixth session of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which was a special invited person category, all of whom were celebrities or special people in the early days, such as Sun Mingjiu, Zhang Xueliang's guard captain, and Kang Youwei's daughter-in-law.
Later, in order to be able to reunite with his family, Qiu Guowei took his 3 daughters and moved to the United States.
It should be said that Qiu Qingquan's life can be described as ups and downs, with merits and mixed reputations, and his ending is a sigh. But he has two good wives, plus he met the Communist Party of Renyi, so his relatives are doing well, and finally have a happy ending, which should make him laugh at Jiuquan.
