Guo Rugui: A "legendary" figure around Chiang Kai-shek
In the process of the establishment of New China, there are many well-known names and deeds. Among them, Guo Rugui is a very legendary figure. Why is he legendary? Because he was planning for Chiang Kai-shek on the surface, he secretly had important information sent to the liberated areas.
Guo Rugui has been lurking within the Kuomintang for many years and has profound experience. However, in his memoirs in his later years, he bluntly stated that there were only two people he really admired in the entire Kuomintang army, and Chiang Kai-shek himself was not among them.
The first person Guo Rugui admired was Fu Zuoyi. He was a famous anti-Japanese general who performed well in the War of Resistance against Japan. Fu Zuoyi once served as the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was appointed as the commander of the "Suppression" in North China during the War of Liberation. In Guo Rugui's view, Fu Zuoyi has high military talent and foresight. He believes that Fu Zuoyi's observation and wisdom in collaboration and communication make him admire.
Guo Rugui once recorded an incident that happened in 1948 in her memoirs. At that time, the War of Liberation had entered a critical stage, and Fu Zuoyi and others earnestly hoped that Chiang Kai-shek would be able to preside over the overall situation and seize the opportunity to determine the military plan so as to grasp the initiative on the battlefield. However, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly said that he had an urgent matter to go to Shanghai and Nanjing to participate in the activities of the "Double Tenth Festival", which made people puzzled and stunned. Guo Rugui believed that Fu Zuoyi's suggestion was reasonable, and he hoped that he would be able to make a proposal to Chiang Kai-shek, prompting him to consider the initiative in Northeast China and North China, and to convene an operational conference as soon as possible to decide how to deal with the battles of Taiyuan and Chengde. But Guo Rugui did not understand the reason for Chiang Kai-shek's sudden decision to go to Shanghai. Later, it was discovered that Chiang Kai-shek suddenly changed his plan because he wanted to solve the problem of Kong Lingkan. Guo Rugui said that this shows the phenomenon of Chiang Kai-shek's reversal of priorities, and he does not have the foresight of observing the overall situation and having a strategic level like Fu Zuoyi.
Another person Guo Rugui admired was General Zhang Zhizhong. He was a man who made great efforts to bring about peace talks between the KMT and the CCP. During the Chongqing talks, Zhang Zhizhong has always worked hard to promote mutual understanding between the two sides and made great contributions to promoting peaceful nation-building. He paid attention to the unity of the country and the nation, and worked hard for the well-being of the people, and was called "General of Peace" by Guo Rugui. In Guo Rugui's view, Zhang Zhizhong has always been guided by the interests of the people, committed to solving problems and promoting peace, and has a good character and a spirit of thinking about the people.
Guo Rugui's life experience is rich and legendary. He was in the Kuomintang for a long time during the war, carried out extremely high-risk intelligence work, and his perseverance and perseverance were admirable. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he compiled "Chinese Military History" and other works, and made significant contributions to the study of the country's military history. In 1997, Guo Rugui died in a car accident. His life was a hidden trump card in China's military history, and he made significant contributions to the progress of the Liberation War and the establishment of New China.
Guo Rugui is a person who thinks about the people, has a vision and wisdom. His story is full of honor and sacrifice, and also reflects the indomitable spirit and wisdom of the Chinese people during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. He is a figure worthy of our admiration and learning, and his life is full of wisdom and courage, which has brought us a lot of inspiration and thinking. Let's remember his name, commemorate his deeds, and pay tribute to him!
