During the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek established the "Suppression General" Headquarters in North China, and appointed Fu Zuoyi, who was able to recruit the habit of fighting, as the commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in North China, commanding 4 main corps and 12 armies, with a strength of as much as 500,000 troops.
At this time, among the deputy commanders of the "Suppression General" in North China, there was Feng Qinya.
Feng Qinya acts strangely and is a person with a lot of stories. Previously, he served as the commander of the group army and the deputy commander of the theater in the Kuomintang army, and he wore the rank of general. He also held a high status within the Kuomintang, serving as a member of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee at the time.
In 1889, Feng Qinzha was born in Wanquan County, Shanxi. Wanquan County no longer exists, and in 1954 it was merged with Ronghe County to form Wanrong County (named after the first character of the two counties). As early as 1909, Feng Qinya joined the Chinese League and participated in the Taiyuan Uprising on October 29, 1911.
After joining the army, Feng Qinzha had been serving in Yang Hucheng's department, and in the spring of 1927 he became the commander of the 1st Division of Yang Hucheng's 10th Army.
In 1930, during the Great War of Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Zhongyuan, Feng Qinya followed Yang Hucheng to assist Chiang Kai-shek and made battle achievements. Chiang Kai-shek also specially summoned Feng Qinya, rewarded him with 20,000 yuan, and said to Feng Qinzai in front of everyone, "Your team is playing well and is a fierce general."
During the Central Plains War, Chiang Kai-shek's government reorganized Yang Hucheng's department several times, and Feng Qinzha served as the commander of the 71st Division of Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army. In April 1931, the 71st Division was renamed the 42nd Division, and Feng Qinzha remained the division commander.
Feng Qinya's personality was too upright, and chiang kai-shek soon became tired. In 1931, Yang Hucheng was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to quell the Gansu Leima Incident. At the end of the year, Feng Qinzha went to Nanjing to attend the Fourth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang, and Chiang Kai-shek asked about the situation in pacifying Gansu. Chiang Kai-shek did not understand his intentions, and Feng Qinzha immediately explained that the Japanese had already occupied our northeast, and you did not send troops to fight the Japanese, but instead hit the people of Gansu.
In the spring of 1933, when the Japanese army occupied Rehe and attacked the Great Wall, Feng Qinzha asked for resistance to Japan and was ordered to lead the whole division to the area north of Peiping. In July, He Yingqin ordered Feng Qinya's 42nd Division to attack Feng Yuxiang's Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. Feng Qinzha refused: "Commander-in-Chief Feng Yuxiang is anti-Japanese, I can't beat him; I am his old subordinate, and I can't beat him; his surname is Feng, I am also surnamed Feng, although he is not from his own family, he resisted Japan, I also feel glorious, let alone fight him."
Feng Qinya also fought against the Red Army, but he was far from being an opponent of the Red Army. In January 1935, Feng Qinzha was ordered to command the 42nd Division and three garrison brigades in Shaanxi on behalf of Yang Hucheng to "block and suppress" the Red Twenty-fifth Army in the Qinling Mountains; in March, he participated in the "encirclement and suppression" of the Northwest Red Army, all of which failed.
Before the Xi'an Incident, Feng Qinzha was the commander of the 7th Army and the commander of the 42nd Division of yang hucheng's 17th Route Army, and led his troops to garrison Dali County, Shaanxi.
On the night of December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident, which shocked China and foreign countries, broke out. At dawn on the 12th, Yang Hucheng telephoned Feng Qinzha to tell him that Deputy Commander Zhang had ordered Chiang Kai-shek to be given military advice and asked Feng to quickly assemble and garrison Tongguan to prevent the central army from invading Xi'an. Feng Qinya immediately said on the phone: "I will not listen to Deputy Commander Zhang's orders, and if you have any way, we will discuss it again." ”
Subsequently, Feng Qinzha convened a military conference attended by officers at or above the regimental level of the 42nd Division, announcing that Zhang and Yang had "betrayed the party-state," "betrayed the leader," and "undermined the War of Resistance," and called for "supporting Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and opposing Zhang and Yang." At the same time, military arrangements were made to prepare to cooperate with the Central Army in attacking Xi'an and to rescue Chiang Kai-shek with all their might.
Feng Qinya also appointed himself commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and the soldiers arrived in Xi'an, claiming to beg the rebel thief and save the holy car. His performance undoubtedly satisfied Chiang Kai-shek.
After Chiang Kai-shek returned to Nanjing, he promoted Feng Qinya's troops to the 27th Route Army.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, Feng Qinya's 27th Route Army was reorganized into the 98th Army, and later reorganized into the 14th Army, fighting side by side with the Eighth Route Army and repeatedly repelling the Japanese attack.
During this period, Feng Qinzha was very close to Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and others, and each side had two representatives stationed in each other's garrisons to strengthen ties; Fan Changjiang was one of the deputies stationed in FengBu, and officers and men of the two sides often rejoiced together, and relations were harmonious and seamless regardless of wartime and peacetime. Feng Qinzha once invited Peng Dehuai to come to his place to hold a forum and explained the anti-Japanese situation and guerrilla tactics to the officers and men.
Feng Qinzha deeply admired Commander-in-Chief Zhu De of the Eighth Route Army, and often said to his subordinates: "You all say that I live a simple life. ”
Seeing that Feng Qinya and Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and others were relatively close, Chiang Kai-shek was very unhappy, so he used his usual trick - Ming Sheng secretly descended, promoted Feng Qinya to deputy commander of the First Theater, and let Wu Shimin take over Feng Qinya's military power.
Since then, Feng Qinzha has been deprived of military power and ended his career of riding on the battlefield with heavy soldiers.
In February 1940, Feng Qinzha went to Chongqing to meet Chiang Kai-shek and asked to lead his troops back to the anti-Japanese front in Shanxi. Chiang Kai-shek said: "You are a member of the old league, an old comrade, very good, very good. You should read the books of Zeng Wenzheng (Zeng Guofan) and Hu Wenzhonggong (Hu Linyi) to enrich them, which is good for you. ”
Feng Qinya, who had the heart to read these books, complained: "Can't you resist Japan without reading?" ”
Chiang Kai-shek groaned a little, laughed, and said, "Study it, give you five armies, and fight back to Shanxi." ”
Feng Qinya waited in Chongqing for a year with hope, always waiting for the answer of the few words "study it", and then these few words were gone.
In the autumn of 1941, the samurai toshisho's army was completely destroyed at Mount Nakajo. When the news came, Feng Qinya was in pain, but it was a team that he had brought out with his own hands.
Feng Chin-jae's post as deputy commander of the First Theater of Operations was also dismissed and he was appointed chairman of Chahar Province. At that time, Chahar Province belonged to the Cangzhou District, and the Chahar Provincial Government was located in Luoyang, Henan Province, while Feng Qinzha lived in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, for a long time, "office", and when the war situation in Henan was tense, all his "provincial capital" was moved to Xi'an.
After Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province, was occupied by Kuomintang troops, the post of chairman of Chahar Province was replaced by Fu Zuoyi, and Feng Qinzha was transferred to the deputy commander of the Eleventh Theater and deputy director of the Zhangyuan Appeasement Office. In the winter of 1947, the Zhangyuan Appeasement Office was abolished, and Feng Qinzha was transferred to the post of deputy director of the Northern Parallel Yuan. In the summer of 1948, the Northern Parallel Ridge was abolished, and Feng Qinzha was transferred to the deputy commander-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in North China.
The military defeat of the Kuomintang army and the upsurge of the patriotic democratic movement of the people in the Kuomintang area made Feng Qinya realize that chiang kai-shek's regime was bound to lose. In the struggle of the people of Peiping against hunger, civil war, and persecution, Feng Qinzai published an advertisement in the Beiping newspaper: "Feng Qinzai's characters", saying that he could not live as a "deputy commander".
This incident alarmed Li Zongren, who specifically called Feng Qinya and asked him what difficulties he had. In fact, in 1946, Feng Qinya opened the "Renchang Silver" in Beiping, and he served as the chairman of the board and also served as the chairman of the Tianjin Jianhua Flour Company, and there was no "hunger" problem.
By the end of 1948, Peiping had been strictly surrounded by the People's Liberation Army, and Fu Zuoyi and the People's Liberation Army were contemplating the peaceful liberation of Peiping. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek sent planes to transport senior personnel to Taiwan, and many people advised Feng Qinya to also go to Taiwan.
But Feng Qinya refused, and he was an active supporter of the peaceful liberation of Peiping.
At the crucial moment of the peace talks, Fu Zuoyi wanted to find a person with high status, old qualifications, and close ties with the Communist Party to negotiate, and some people suggested that Deng Baoshan (one of the deputy commanders-in-chief of the "Suppression General" in North China) was the most suitable, and Feng Qinya and Deng were both from the Northwest Army, and they had a good relationship, so they could ask him to please.
Feng Qinzha was sent to Yulin, Shaanxi Province, in early 1949, to take Deng Baoshan to Beiping, and Deng Baoshan, as Fu Zuoyi's plenipotentiary representative, successfully reached a "peace agreement" with representatives of the People's Liberation Army. The peaceful liberation of Peiping was also indispensable to Feng Qinya.
After the peaceful liberation of Peiping, in view of the fact that Feng Qinzha was a high-ranking general in the uprising, our party sent people to seek his opinion many times in order to arrange appropriate work, but he refused, saying: I cannot be sorry for Chiang Kai-shek. Even if I am shot and not an official, I will learn from Lord Fu Qing (that is, Fu Shan, who refused to do anything to the Qing court after Ming's death). The common people are the masters of the country, and the officials are the slaves of the people, and I want to be the masters, not the slaves.
In this way, Feng Qinya concentrated on raising chickens at his home in Beijing, and 150 chickens kept him busy all day.
In the summer of 1956, Feng Qinzha saw that the people's life under the new regime was getting better and better, so he came out to work, serving as the first member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, often inspecting factories and rural areas, and was very busy.
On January 22, 1963, Feng Qinya died of illness at his home in Xi'an at the age of 74. (Liu Jixing)
