After the Liberation War, how many corps commanders were imprisoned by Gongdelin? Who has the strongest combat power?
During the War of Liberation, in order to strengthen the Kuomintang's military deployment and force investment in various theaters, the Kuomintang successively formed 22 corps, which played an important military role in the Kuomintang army at that time.
The People's Liberation Army wiped out most of them, captured many high-ranking officers at the corps level, and imprisoned them in Beijing's Gongdelin Prison.
How many corps commanders were captured? Which of them is the most combative?
Gong Delin played an important role in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his prisoners were mainly high-ranking Kuomintang generals who had been captured during the long battle, and the number at one time reached 200.
These people were considered to pose a potential threat to the construction and stability of the new China, so they were imprisoned to ensure the security and stability of the country, and their crimes involved various acts during the war, including reactionary and counterrevolutionary activities.
Most of the imprisoned Kuomintang generals were captured or surrendered during the Liberation War, and they held important military positions in the Kuomintang-Communist civil war and were the backbone of the Kuomintang army.
Among them, the 12 corps commanders with the highest official positions had rich combat experience and strategic command capabilities, but in the face of the PLA's powerful offensive and strategic deployment, they could not escape the fate of being captured.
The commander of the corps who was captured earlier was Ou Shounian, who joined the army in his early years, served in the troops of the Cantonese warlords, and was co-opted by Chiang Kai-shek to participate in the civil war and serve as the commander of the 7th Corps.
In the Battle of Eastern Henan in June 1948, Ou Shounian was slow to act, and in the face of the powerful offensive of the People's Liberation Army, he did not break through in time, and finally failed to withstand the fierce impact of the other side, and finally became a prisoner in the cruel baptism of battle.
In the first large-scale counteroffensive campaign launched by our army, our army captured 3 corps commanders.
First of all, Liao Yaoxiang of the 9th Corps, who graduated from the sixth phase of Huangpu, is an outstanding military talent, whose command ability and military wisdom are highly recognized, and who has participated in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and has accumulated rich combat experience and military literacy.
During the Liberation War, Liao Yaoxiang was appointed commander of the Kuomintang 9th Corps and became an important commander in the Northeast Battlefield.
However, even such an outstanding general could not escape the cruel reality of the war, and in the key battle of the Northeast Battlefield, Liao Yaoxiang was finally defeated and captured by the People's Liberation Army.
The other two captured corps commanders were Lu Junquan and Zhou Fucheng, who may not have been so famous, because they were not factions of the Central Army, but belonged to the Yunnan and Northeast armies, so they were not known by too many people.
However, as veterans for many years, their own abilities are beyond doubt, and they also exert military wisdom and leadership skills in the position of corps commander, devote themselves to organizing and commanding troops, and play an important role on the battlefield.
However, despite the tenacious fighting spirit shown by the two men on the battlefield, in the face of the unremitting efforts and tactical flexibility of the People's Liberation Army, they ultimately failed to change the course of the battle.
In the fierce battle of Liaoshen, the Kuomintang army suffered heavy losses, while Lu Junquan and Zhou Fucheng also lost the battle and eventually became prisoners of the People's Liberation Army.
In 1948, our army captured a total of 4 Kuomintang corps commanders, so in 1949, how many corps commanders will our army capture? Who is the strongest among them?
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, how many corps commanders of the national army were there in Gongdelin Prison in Beijing? Who's the strongest?
After the Huaihai Campaign, Huang Wei, the commander of the 12th Corps, was captured by our army, and this die-hard man made a lot of things in the Gongdelin, and he was the biggest thorn in the corps commander.
When were several other corps commanders captured? What kind of stories do they have?
In April 1949, the People's Liberation Army attacked Taiyuan, the old nest of the Jin Sui Army, and in the face of the attack of the three corps of the People's Liberation Army, Taiyuan's defensive situation was extremely grim.
At this time, Yan Xishan had already led the remnants to flee to Nanjing, leaving the defense of Taiyuan to Sun Chu and Wang Jingguo, but did not leave them too many troops.
For the Kuomintang, the siege of Taiyuan meant the loss of the last support point in the north, and for the PLA, the capture of Taiyuan was an important node in the northern strategy. Therefore, the victory or defeat of the Taiyuan Battle was of great significance to both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Sun and Wang's siege, though brave, was also full of challenges and difficulties, and they faced not only the powerful offensive of the People's Liberation Army, but also the uncertainties of people's hearts.
After Yan Xishan left, the morale of Taiyuan's army had been shaken, and coupled with the offensive of the People's Liberation Army, Taiyuan's defensive situation became more and more severe.
Under the attack of the People's Liberation Army, the Kuomintang's northern base areas gradually collapsed, Sun and Wang were captured, and the People's Liberation Army gradually expanded the territory of the liberated areas.
In November 1949, when the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was attacking at a rapid pace in the Battle of Yisha, breaking through the defenses of the 14th Corps, Commander Zhong Bin was in a meeting at the headquarters of his boss Song Xilian, and the speed of rushing back to the troops after hearing the news did not match the time, resulting in him being captured by the PLA on the way.
Song Xilian did not escape too far, his traces were firmly controlled by our army, and he was soon captured by the People's Liberation Army, and the Kuomintang lost two more generals at the level of corps commander.
In December 1949, the People's Liberation Army launched a general offensive against the Gui warlords, and Zhang Gan's 3rd Corps was responsible for defending Guilin, taking many defensive facilities, causing some trouble to our army.
However, Zhang Gan's Third Corps was ultimately unable to resist the offensive of the People's Liberation Army, and could only retreat step by step, and finally still failed to escape the fate of annihilation.
In the area of Bobai, Guangxi, the Third Corps suffered a powerful blow from the People's Liberation Army and was finally annihilated, while Zhang Gan could not escape and was captured by our army, ending his role and fate in this war.
Coincidentally, there was also a corps-level commander among the Gui generals who was captured, and he was Liu Jiashu.
Liu Jiashu's troops at that time were seriously insufficient, and the 17th Corps under his command had almost no combat effectiveness, and was defeated and retreated under the powerful offensive of our army, and withdrew all the way to Vietnam.
The Vietnamese side sent troops to stop Liu Jiashu's crossing, forcing him to rush into Chinese territory, and was soon surrounded and eliminated by our army, and he himself became a member of Kung Tak Lam.
There is also an anecdote about this Kuomintang general, he was captured by our army twice before, and both were released, and this is the third time he has been captured, I really don't know whether he should be said to be lucky or unlucky.
The last corps commander to be captured was Tang Yao, and in January 1950, the last battle to liberate Yunnan began, and the PLA displayed great strength and tactical might made the remnants of Chiang Kai-shek feel irreversible pressure.
At that time, the People's Liberation Army marched more than 1,000 kilometers day and night, seized the airfield in front of the enemy's 8th Corps, did not let Tang Yao leave the mainland smoothly, and captured this high-ranking Kuomintang official.
At this point, all the 12 corps commanders who had been captured by our army during the Liberation War were gathered, and they were to be re-educated for a long time in the Gongdelin until they met the requirements of a new Chinese citizen.
Of so many corps commanders, who has the strongest combat power? The most influential?
How many Kuomintang corps commanders were imprisoned in Gongdelin Prison in Beijing? Who among them has the most influence?
Among the prisoners of the national army imprisoned in Gongdelin, the highest rank is General Wang Lingji, and most of the others are lieutenant generals and major generals, but in terms of combat power and influence, Wang Lingji cannot be ranked.
Because in war, although some officers hold lower positions, they can still influence the actions of the army to a certain extent due to their prestige and influence in the army.
So who is the most powerful of these captives? Why is he recognized?
It can be seen from the 12 corps commanders who were captured that these people belonged to different camps, and Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army faction did not account for much, but they were really the strongest in combat effectiveness.
The combat effectiveness of the Central Army is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and Liao Yaoxiang's 9 Corps is still considered a leader among the large armies, and its equipment, personnel quality, and even the ability of its commanders far surpass other corps.
Why is this so? First of all, the first point is that Liao Yaoxiang's 9th Corps is Chiang Kai-shek's trump card unit, which is maintained at a scale of about 150,000 people all year round, providing strong manpower support for its operations in the northeast region, enabling it to carry out operations in various complex battlefield environments and maintain a certain combat effectiveness.
In addition to the Ace Army, other units within the Ninth Corps also performed well, both in terms of tactical execution and combat morale.
After a long period of training and tempering, these units have rich combat experience and good combat qualities, and are able to quickly adapt to and display strong combat effectiveness in various complex combat environments.
The second point is that it is well equipped. The 9th Corps has a large number of U.S. weapons and equipment, which can often provide powerful firepower and mobility in combat, and has become a strong force with advanced weapons and equipment in the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
After World War II, the United States provided a large amount of military aid to the Kuomintang government, which was mainly based on weapons, equipment, materials and technical support, and Liao Yaoxiang's 9th Corps was one of the beneficiaries of this batch.
The third point is the capabilities of the commander. Liao Yaoxiang was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant and general, and he was promoted to the rank of commander in his early 40s, which shows that he has extraordinary talent and ability in the military field, reflecting his outstanding ability in military command and management.
Dongye attached great importance to Liao Yaoxiang and mobilized 400,000 troops to encircle and suppress him, and this huge concentration of troops provided sufficient guarantee for the encirclement and suppression of Liao Yaoxiang's corps, forming a powerful suppression of Liao Yaoxiang's corps.
The Northeast Field Army successfully weakened the combat effectiveness of Liao Yaoxiang's corps and dealt a fatal blow to it through precise tactical deployment and superiority in troops.
In the end, Liao Yaoxiang's corps was completely annihilated, and he himself was captured by our army and imprisoned in the meritorious forest for reform.
In December 1961, Liao Yaoxiang was ruled by the Supreme People's Court to be a reformed war criminal, and was listed as the third batch of amnesty targets, and was finally released.
This is because he actively received education, reflected on his mistakes, and showed sincere remorse in the process of prison reform, and his results of reform were recognized by the prison administration and the judiciary.
After Liao Yaoxiang was released, he continued to play an active role in society, kept pace with the times, constantly improved his own quality, and constantly learned new knowledge and new technologies.
He also made contributions to the country and society together with other released Kuomintang generals, and under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, he unswervingly walked on the broad road of seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation.
