The war that swept across China has been going on for more than seventy years.
The veterans of the past are now white-haired, and even their children and grandchildren have long since grown up.
The conditions for the PLA to treat prisoners are very favorable, and as long as they are not stubborn in their thinking, basic education and education have also been let go.
For those generals who swore allegiance to Chiang Kai-shek to the death, they either followed their chairman and retreated to the island, or they fought alone and fought without leaving a single piece of armor.
Li Mi, however, is one of the very special beings.
Li Mi
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > dominates the Golden Triangle, and Li Mi's life is the second highlight</h1>
This Li Mi was a "good student of the principal" and a "great loyal minister of the Republic of China"; in the Kuomintang troops, there were many senior generals who could fight hard battles, and Li Mi could be remembered by history because of his other identity: the ancestor of the Golden Triangle.
Looking at the Golden Triangle today, the first impression is still stuck in the scene depicted in the movie "Operation Mekong", which is the world's number one contraband gathering place, which is a headache for many governments.
Since this Li Mi can get Chiang Kai-shek's heavy responsibility, there are naturally "highlight moments" in history that belong to him.
At that time, he and the Japanese army that tried to capture Hubei were directly face to face, the enemy's air force was very strong, in order to protect the national territory, Li Mi directly burned more than twenty Japanese aircraft, which is also a matter of immeasurable merit.
From this incident, it can be seen that Li Mi has a characteristic of fighting: fierce, and never flinched.
For a soldier, this is a good thing, but for a commander, it is a bit ridiculous.
Therefore, the People's Liberation Army also knew this characteristic of Li Mi, and with a little ingenuity, it beat this Kuomintang army lieutenant general to pieces in the Battle of Bengbu, and it is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek was also very angry in his heart, but the Kuomintang troops that were gradually defeated and retreated really needed such a "spirit", so Li Mi was finally reused.
Chiang Kai-shek called him to Yunnan because the southwest region was the last fortress he could think of for a "comeback."
Unfortunately, it didn't take long to catch up with the Luján uprising.
Li Mi did not know how to retreat in command, but he himself knew this well, before the defeat of the battle, he wept bitterly in front of Chiang Kai-shek, and now he did the same, applying his acting talent to Lu Han, Lu Han thought that this person was useless, and he had to leave a line as a man, and simply let him go.
With Luhan, the liberation of the Great Southwest by the People's Liberation Army also became more smooth, and it took less than a few months to complete the large-scale liberation.
There were thousands of remnants of the army, worried that they would encounter an accident after their defeat, and simply ran to Burma with oil on the soles of their feet.
The "Golden Triangle" was born.
At the beginning, the Burmese military was a little anxious, sending more than 10,000 people to deal with these remnants with the practice of "bombarding mosquitoes with artillery", and as a result, the remnant leader Li Guohui organized troops to go into the mountains to fight guerrillas, and the Burmese military was a little too anxious, and the result was that Li Guohui won the battle.
Lee Kwok-fai
In order not to let the Burmese regime have problems, the Burmese side took the initiative to send representatives to Negotiate with Li Guohui, which laid the foundation for the remnants of the Kuomintang to successfully stop in Burma.
This is how these "Golden Triangle Overlords" came from, but what does it have to do with Li Mi?
In fact, when Li Mi was fighting, the fierce people who shouted slogans and shouts himself were, in the final analysis, they still let the soldiers die, and since Lu Han let him go, this man hurried to find Chiang Kai-shek to complain, and the people were already on the island.
However, this beautiful battle commanded by Li Guohui made the depressed Chiang Kai-shek stunned, is his own troops so capable of fighting?
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek found Li Mi and asked him to go to the Golden Triangle to command the remnants, and perhaps there were greater plans in the future, and Li Mi came on his own order.
Li Guohui is also an honest man, the battle is fought by himself, and in the end, Li Mi became the leader out of thin air, and he did not say much.
However, if you calculate it this way, Li Mi came with Chiang Kai-shek's letter of appointment, even in Burma is a local force, how can there be such a name as "the old ancestor of the Golden Triangle".
This brings us to Li Mi's own behavior; Chiang Kai-shek was no longer Chiang Kai-shek in the Republic of China period, he had no money, let alone filled Li Mi with banknotes, this person had an extreme personality, but he followed Chiang Kai-shek with a dead heart, and Chiang Kai-shek did not give money, he got the money himself.
What comes to money fast? Money that breaks the law comes quickly.
Therefore, Li Mi, who fled to the "Golden Triangle", began to organize this unit to sell opium, which annoyed Myanmar, Thailand and other countries.
Li Mi did not care about the opinions of the surrounding countries at all, continued to do his own business, with money, he could recruit more soldiers, with the passage of time, the Li family in the Golden Triangle region became more and more powerful, and at the peak of the national army guerrilla headquarters was established, under which there were three divisions, and the total strength of the army reached tens of thousands.
Myanmar's previous compromises were only a stopgap measure, and they are silently watching the movements of this group.
But by 1953, the remnants of the army were constantly encroaching on Burmese territory and had almost reached the central Burmese zone, and Li Mi once again felt the long-lost pleasure of power.
Someone asked, "Can you be the king of Yunnan?" ”
Li Mi was pleased to be asked, and immediately said: "The king of Yunnan is afraid that there is no drama, and the king of Burma should not have a big problem." ”
However, this sentence made the Burmese government feel a complete threat, and they did not hesitate to seduce India and suppress Li Mi.
At the Battle of Jiangkou, Li Mi's seven hundred remnants actually beat thousands of Combined Indian and Burmese troops to the head;
At the Battle of Niutoushan, the Indian Gurkha Wing was almost annihilated;
In the Great Battle of Mumbu, more than 3,000 Burmese soldiers were killed on the battlefield.
This game is almost over at this point.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > returned to Taiwan in his later years and fell into a trough in his life</h1>
Myanmar has a headache: it can't fight and fight, and it can't be driven away.
But if Li Mi's army continues to develop in this way, it will not be many years before Burma will have the surname of Li.
In desperation, the Burmese authorities suddenly thought of a good place: the United Nations.
To this end, they rolled up their sleeves and wrote a long report, tearfully mentioning how they, as a sovereign country, were bullied by Li Mi, and they resisted, and the soldiers of others fought more and more.
The United Nations quickly accepted the matter, and felt that it was indeed a bit unreasonable to have the remnants of the army stationed in a third country, so they approached the Kuomintang authorities and demanded that the matter be properly handled.
In particular, the phrase "King of Burma" also made Chiang Kai-shek feel suspicious, and when he first sent him, he had originally planned to launch a counterattack from the southwest.
In addition, when it came to that meeting, Chiang Kai-shek also realized that his previous ambitions were gradually disappearing, but he felt that it was unrealistic to want to regain the territory he had lost before, and Li Mi's actions there also made him suffer a lot of criticism.
To this end, Chiang Kai-shek issued an order and asked Li Mi to hurry back to his hometown.
Li Mi did not dare to disobey Chiang Kai-shek's orders, and could only hurry back to his side.
To say that his later years are good or bad cannot be taken in just one direction.
Some people have commented that the generals who failed in the Battle of Xuzhou may only have the best ending for Li Mi.
Since Li Mi was recalled to Taiwan in 1954, Chiang Kai-shek was kind to him, and may have seen his efforts and threw him two false posts.
However, for the generals who had unlimited scenery at that time, the life of losing their posts was meaningless, but for ordinary people, it was still very good to be able to have a little false salary.
Li Mi was very sad and depressed all year round.
The remnants of the army that were stranded in Burma at the beginning finally got a new opportunity with the passage of time.
They lost Li Mi, but they did not lose their good fighting style.
At that time, the Thai government promised them that as long as they could capture Khao Nga Mountain, tens of thousands of descendants could become legitimate citizens of Thailand, and they could also freely enter Bangkok, Chiang Mai and other places without having to live a sneaky life.
At that time, these people went out for the "party-state" under the leadership of Li Mi, and later exhausted for their livelihood, and in this battle, they will fight for their own identity.
It is worth mentioning that the first batch of remnants of the army was already more than fifty years old, their children were twenty or thirty years old, but they lacked combat experience, and in the end this unit was old and young, and it was the standard "father and son soldiers".
After three days of bloody fighting, they finally captured Khao Nga Mountain, the last rebel in Thailand, and the high command of the authorities was deeply moved, and since then, they have also had their own identity, lived a self-reliant life, and no longer have to carry a gun and wander around.
It is said that it is the "ending", but according to the family plot of the Chinese people, everything must be asked to the bottom: what happened to Li Mi's descendants?
Since then, Li Yunchuan has begun to understand his father's various experiences, and when he learned that his father had escaped many deaths during the war years, he forgave his father's behavior of ignoring it.
When Li Mi was engaged in some illegal hooks in the Golden Triangle, the child went to the United States to study because of his excellent grades.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Mi was a lieutenant general during the war years, and even if he ran to Burma, he became a figure who dominated one side, but Li Yunchuan always felt that his father was an irresponsible person.
When the father and son were finally reunited, the relationship between the two people was also very general.
Later, Li Mi returned to Taiwan, and Li Yunchuan also directly chose to find a job in the United States because he went to school in the United States, and rarely came back to see his father, a general who held a lot of power at that time, and really felt the sadness of human nature in his later years.
Many of Li Mi's former troops followed him back to Taiwan, while the rest lost their nationality and continued to struggle in Burma, merging with the local underworld over time.
By 1964, he had retired with the rank of lieutenant general in the Kuomintang Army, and had little activity since then, except for walking down the stairs and walking around.
However, this leisurely life did not last long, perhaps he always thought about his experience of being born and dying on the battlefield, or perhaps his son's heart was getting farther and farther away from him, which made his old age more sad, in 1973, Li Mi died of a heart attack, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the second rank of the army general.
Just like his rank of general, Li Yunchuan forgave his father, and it was also after his father's death.
Everywhere Li Yunchuan went, he would emphasize: "I am a descendant of Yan Huang, my heart will always belong to China, and my roots are in Yunnan, China." ”
Looking at the life of Li Mi's descendants, he did not touch the light of his father, all by his own efforts, but Li Mi's ending, the heart is very tragic, but it can also be regarded as a good end.
