The commander of the miscellaneous army under Lao Chiang only realized his way back in December 1949: he called the commanders at all levels to a meeting
In China's modern history, there was a special army commander who served under Chiang Kai-shek and led a team known as the "motley army". This team fought valiantly on the battlefield, but because of their non-lineal status, they were often ostracized and despised for themselves. However, in December 1949, the commander made a startling decision that not only changed his fate, but also gave the world a profound warning.
The army commander's name is Li Zhendong, he was born in an ordinary peasant family, joined the army in his early years, and gradually emerged in the army with his extraordinary courage and strategy. However, because he did not come from a prestigious family and the troops he led lacked the resources and support of the regular army, they were nicknamed the "motley army". But this did not affect Li Zhendong's ambitions, and he led this army to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements.
However, as the war of liberation deepened, the Kuomintang army gradually fell into a difficult situation. Li Zhendong and his "motley army" are also facing unprecedented challenges. They were defeated and retreated by the fierce offensive of the People's Liberation Army, their morale was low, and the morale of the army was weakened. At this critical moment, Li Zhendong realized that the KMT had come to an end and that they had to make changes.
One day in December 1949, Li Zhendong convened a meeting of chief officials at all levels. The meeting was held in a dilapidated barracks, and there was a tense and dignified atmosphere in the air. Li Zhendong stood in front of everyone, his eyes firm and deep. He bluntly told everyone that the Kuomintang had failed, and that they had to think about themselves, their families, and the future of the land.
Then, Li Zhendong began to analyze the current situation in detail. He pointed out that the People's Liberation Army had won a decisive victory, and the Kuomintang army was no longer able to return to heaven. If they continue to resist, it will only cause more casualties and destruction. Moreover, these "motley army" have always been excluded and despised in the Kuomintang army, and even if they are victorious, they will not be treated with the respect and treatment they deserve.
Li Zhendong's words made everyone fall into deep thought. They began to realize that there was no longer any point in continuing to follow the Kuomintang. They must make a choice between continuing on their demise or choosing a new path. After intense discussion and careful consideration, everyone unanimously decided to accept Li Zhendong's suggestion and chose to surrender to the PLA.
The process of surrender did not go well. The remnants of the Kuomintang frantically obstructed and attacked Li Zhendong and his troops. But Li Zhendong did not flinch, he led his troops to resist bravely, and finally succeeded in breaking through. With the help of the PLA, they successfully completed the surrender formalities.
After the surrender, Li Zhendong did not sink because of this. He is well aware of the mistakes and sins he has committed and decides to spend the rest of his life to make amends and redeem them. He took an active part in the construction of New China and contributed his strength to the prosperity and strength of the country. He proved his worth with his practical actions, and also won people's respect and admiration.
However, Lee's story doesn't end there. His experience is a profound warning to the world: in the torrent of history, everyone has to make their own choices. Sometimes, these choices may not be in line with our original intentions and beliefs, but we must face the reality and go with the trend of the times. Only in this way can we find the right path towards a better future.
Li Zhendong's story tells us that history is complex and life is full of uncertainties. In the torrent of history, we must keep a clear head and firm beliefs, and continue to learn and grow. Only in this way can we gain a foothold and develop in this era full of challenges and opportunities.
So, readers, do you think Li Zhendong's choice is correct? What does his story teach you? This is a question worth pondering. Let's look back on history while also thinking about our own future and path.
