In 1948, Wang Jinshan, the prototype of Li Yunlong in the Liang Sword, liberated Xiangyang and captured Chiang Kai-shek's confidant Kang Ze alive. Kang Ze, a key Kuomintang criminal stained with the blood of the Communists, was caught with his hands tied, which made Chairman Mao overjoyed. However, what really alarmed Chen Yi was that Liu Bocheng's two marshals were other people, and this person was Kang Ze's deputy, Guo Xunqi, the first general in Chuanzhong.
This Guo Xunqi is not simple, and it is definitely not simple to be able to mix up the name of the first god of war in such a small war in Sichuan, the Republic of China, where there is a small war every day and a big war 369. However, it is interesting that this famous sichuan general who has been in the battlefield has the nickname of giant panda because he is still a Sichuanese who looks round, and I think this may be the most tragic time when the panda is blackened.
In 1935, Chiang Kai-shek asked Liu Xiang, then king of Sichuan, to send an army to block the Red Army. This time, Liu Xiang also counted the blood cost and sent his own heart and liver baby Guo Xunqi into the battle. However, before going out on the expedition, Liu Xiang still gave Guo Xunqi a face-to-face opportunity. Liu Xiang, the king of Sichuan, said with a heavy heart to Guo Xunqi, a love general who was good at fighting but not good at politics:
Xiao Guo, we must fight skillfully this time, but we can't do it recklessly. This time to fight the communist army, it was the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finches were behind.
Liu Xiang subconsciously touched the top of his head, pointed his finger at the sky, and said, "He wants to be a yellow bird!" He thought of us as praying mantises catching cicadas, and he wanted us to fight with the Red Army, and we lost both, with one hand cleaning up the Red Army and the other. The reason why our Sichuan army can exist is to take advantage of the contradiction between the old Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party, and we can survive by encountering sources left and right. Xiao Guo, leaving a way for the Red Army to live is equivalent to leaving a way for our brothers in the Sichuan Army. ”
Liu Xiang
Watching his boss speak the vernacular, Guo Xunqi naturally understood, so he led his robes to start a performance comparable to the Oscar level. His principle was that as long as the Red Army did not enter Sichuan, even if it was to turn the world upside down elsewhere, it had nothing to do with me. When the Red Army marched, he slowly gave gifts in the back, and when he found that the Red Army had signs of developing into Sichuan, Guo Xunqi transformed from a small turtle into a small whirlwind and stopped the Red Army with the fastest action.
This mentality of the Sichuan Army is naturally not humane enough for outsiders, and as an opponent, the Red Army is even more unclear and does not understand. Therefore, in order to change the situation that was now being followed by the Sichuan Army all the way and focused on taking care of it, the Red Third Army and the Red Fifth Army decided to join forces to attack the Sichuan Army that was trailing behind.
The Battle of Tucheng began, Guo Xunqi fully demonstrated the style of the first general in Sichuan, although Peng Dehuai of the Red Third Army was extremely brave, but due to the gap in strength and equipment, the Red Army did not gain an advantage. Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Red Army, personally took command of the battle, found that the Red Army was a bit unable to resist, and immediately ordered the flag to be waved, and the last trump card, the cadre regiment led by Chen Geng, finally stabilized the situation. However, the war between the two sides was still stalemate, and it was difficult for the Red Third Army and the Red Fifth Army to disengage from the enemy, until Lin Biao's Red First Army returned to the division to rescue the two major legions. This battle also fully demonstrated the ability of Guo Xunqi, the first general of Chuanzhong.
After this battle was fought and saw the strength of the Sichuan army, the Red Army dismissed the idea of developing to Sichuan, so after that, Guo Xunqi began his performance again, the Red Army walked fast, he stared fast, the Red Army walked slowly, he followed slowly, and his team was very close and always maintained a day's distance. No matter how Much Chiang Kai-shek urged him, he still went his own way and staged a good play that would not be affected by the fate of the foreign monarch. Just like this, he escorted the Red Army out of the range of Sichuan, and went back to Sichuan to return to his boss. It should be said that during the Red Army period, although Guo Xunqi fought with our army, he did not have a bloody sea and deep hatred.
But this alone does not explain why the two marshals visited him after his capture. In fact, Guo Xunqi and Chen Yi had already intersected with Marshal Liu Bocheng, and even in a sense, he was Marshal Chen Yi's savior. As early as 1922, Marshal Chen Yi became acquainted with the future no. 1 general in Chuanzhong, and the two became friends because they shared common hobbies, and often played football together, one was Wei Qun of the Republic of China, and the other was Yao Xia of the Republic of China.
Later, because of the transfer of work, the two almost went to Chongqing, and the exchanges between the two became closer in Chongqing. At that time, Chen Yi often instilled revolutionary theory in Guo Xunqi, which should be said to have greatly touched Guo's thought. Later, Guo Xunqi also became acquainted with Liu Bocheng, and under the influence of the two marshals of the Republic, his thinking had a certain tendency to progress, which made his boss Liu Xiang very dissatisfied, so he arranged for him to sit on the cold bench. Later, when the 331 massacre broke out in Chongqing, Guo Xunqi used his influence and the convenience of his position to arrange for a group of progressive young people and revolutionaries to flee Sichuan, and Chen Yi was one of them.
In the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it may have been arranged by heaven that Guo Xunqi's troops were stationed close to the troops of his old friend Chen Yi of the New Fourth Army, and the two of them walked very diligently. Guo Xunqi often used various reasons to send equipment to the New Fourth Army, and even showed General Manager Chen the telegram sent by Chiang Kai-shek to him to limit the defense of the Communists.
Guo Xunqi also invited the chief of staff of the New Fourth Army to explain guerrilla tactics to his troops and cover Zhang Yunyi's northward journey. Guo Xunqi and the New Fourth Army looked at each other and mingled, which made Chiang Kai-shek very unhappy. In 1939, the old Jiang found an excuse to go to Chongqing to continue sitting on the cold bench.
When Guo Xunqi returned to Chongqing, he sighed in frustration: My heart to repay the country with my fist was innocently broken.
After the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War broke out, but Chiang Kai-shek still did not use the first general in Sichuan until the Battle of Xiangfan broke out. Chiang Kai-shek was already frightened by the uprising, and he could no longer trust the non-concubine generals, so he sent his confidant Kang Ze as a defender in the Xiangfan area.
Kang ze
However, the problem is that although Kang Ze is also a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, he has left the school for more than 20 years, and he has hardly ever led soldiers to fight, and he is all engaged in secret agent work, let him assassinate a general, it may be possible, let him command thousands of troops and horses to fight is really not OK. Moreover, at this time, the troops under the command of Kang Ze had almost no central army, and the Sichuan army was pure, and Kang Ze also knew that he was likely to command this batch of Sichuan troops, so he asked Old Jiang to come to Guo Xunqi.
But at this time, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, it would be impossible to save the Kuomintang from defeat, let alone just a Guo Xunqi. In the face of the fierce attack of the Tiger King Near the Mountain, the Nationalist army was gradually defeated and retreated, and finally could only retreat to Xiangyang City. At this time, the deputy commander Guo Xunqi suggested to the commander Kang Ze that Xiangyang City should focus on the defense of the west gate and the south gate, and this place must be the key breakthrough direction of the communist army. Guo Xunqi is worthy of being a famous general in Sichuan, and his views coincide with wang jinshan of our army, and Wang Menghu also found Ximen easy to fight and prepared to attack Ximen.
Kang Ze did not understand the military, and after hearing the advice of the famous general Guo Xunqi, he deeply believed it, but in the end, many years of experience as a secret agent made him make the wrong choice. He suddenly found that when Guo Xunqi was dismissed and arranged to sit on the cold bench, it was because he had been very close to the CCP, and now it is so, is it recommended that he pit himself and dedicate himself to the PEOPLE's Liberation Army as a surrender?
Therefore, this big agent did not listen to the advice of his assistants, but insisted on making a wrong deployment, resulting in Xiangyang City being taken by Wang Jinshan, and Kang Ze and Guo Xunqi also becoming prisoners at the same time. However, unlike others, Kang Ze was sent to Gong Delin for reform, while Guo Xunqi, who had just been captured, met his two long-lost old friends.
Chen Yi, who was humorous by nature, complained as soon as he saw Guo Xunqi: Old Guo, guns don't have long eyes, how did you run to Xiangyang?
Guo Xunqi did not make a sound, but tightly held the hands of his old friend. Everyone's speech box was opened, the three of them talked freely, and Guo Xunqi expressed his willingness to make his own contribution to the liberation of the Chinese people. Under the arrangement of the relevant departments, he entered Sichuan, recruited the old ministry all the way, and made great contributions to the liberation of the whole country.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Xunqi became the deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Transportation Department and a deputy to the provincial people's congress, and he was also highly valued among the Kuomintang generals.
