Chiang Kai-shek is a real villain, this sentence is not false at all!
Relying on the financial resources of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium family, after becoming the president of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek acted against the revolution, betrayed the revolution, and implemented a complete dictatorship.
After retreating to Taiwan, he guarded a mere acre of land, and for his own selfishness, he had to engage in some intrigues and created many unjust cases.
For example, in 1955, Chiang Kai-shek heard rumors that his backer Americans felt that his younger brother was not very reliable and decided to establish another puppet. The best candidate was Sun Liren, the general of the National Army and the famous general of the War of Resistance. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek dismissed Sun Liren and framed him. As a result, Sun Liren was imprisoned for 33 years, and it was not until a few years before his death that he was rehabilitated and gained freedom.
In 1990, former general of the National Army, Sun Liren, passed away. Before his death, Sun Liren made a strange will, saying that after his death, he "don't return to the ancestral grave, and the coffin would not be buried." His descendants also respected his last wish, and that no one would return to his hometown, and the coffin would not be buried.
Why is this? Today we will talk about some of the grievances between former generals of the National Army, the famous general of the War of Resistance against Sun Liren and Chiang Kai-shek. While discussing the past and present, we will focus on the famous "Sun Liren incident" and its impact on Sun Liren's life. Let us emphasize the name of this general, whose name is Sun Liren.
Put the pen to join the army
In the time of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, talents emerged in the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the stars were shining.
Among the many generals, Sun Liren is a very unique one. Whether it is his performance in the Anti-Japanese War or his personal growth trajectory, it is worth mentioning it alone.
Sun Liren was born on December 8, 1900, and his ancestral home is Jinniu Town, Lujiang, Anhui Province.
Anhui Lujiang is a good place with rich water and soil, outstanding people and talented people throughout the dynasties. Sun Liren grew up in such a place, which shows that his family background is good.
Indeed, Sun Liren was born in a large family of Lujiang . His ancestors were all scholars. Sun Liren has been well-read poetry and books since childhood, knows literature and has always had good academic performance. In middle school, he was always the first in the grade and a full academic master.
Later, Sun Liren was admitted to the civil engineering major of Tsinghua University . After graduating from Tsinghua University in 1924, Sun Liren went abroad to study and went to Purdue University in the United States to continue studying civil engineering.
Purdue University is a famous American university. Well-known alumni from Chinese include the later two bomb hero Deng Jiaxian , father of Chinese missiles Liang Sili, etc., and well-known local alumni include astronaut Armstrong, etc.
Later, the name of Sun Liren was added to the list of well-known alumni at Purdue University. However, Sun Liren was just an ordinary student at Purdue University. His major was ordinary and his grades were ordinary.
The reason why Lujiang academic masters performed well at Purdue University was that Sun Liren had no intention of studying at that time.
There were many factors that affected his serious study, such as the advanced technology and the strong industrial strength of the United States at that time, and the vigorous revolution in China at that time. All of this made Sun Liren anxious and passionate.
National Revolution
But it is useless to be anxious. In the face of history and the revolutionary tide, personal power basically cannot affect the historical trend. At that time, Sun Liren was in vain and had no way to affect the domestic situation.
Sun Liren decided to join the army and instead study military affairs.
Sun Liren graduated from Purdue University in 1925. After graduation, he was admitted to the " West Point Military Academy " in the southern United States. The Virginia Military Academy, known as the "Cradle of the General Star", and thus embarked on his career in the Rong Dynasty.
Virginia Military Academy is the second military academy in the United States after West Point Military Academy. Compared with West Point Military Academy, which emphasizes absolute discipline, Virginia Military Academy is more like a modern military academy. It does not overemphasize discipline, but pays more attention to the personal ability growth of students.
US Virginia Military Academy
Here, Sun Liren systematically learned the basic tactics of infantry combat and advanced synthetic tactics, infantry and artillery coordination, became familiar with basic skills such as battlefield survival, and trained a strong body.
This process is very hard, because Sun Liren himself is just a weak scholar. It is difficult to make him adapt to the military life of casting steel and iron at once, but he also has the tenacity of an oriental scholar.
When he was weak, he went to a long-distance run, regardless of wind and rain. The gym and fighting arena are also places he often goes to.
After a long time, his efforts were recognized by people around him, and American cadets couldn't help but look at this oriental nerd with admiration.
In 1927, Sun Liren graduated from the Virginia Military Academy. At the graduation ceremony, he received a high evaluation from the Education Leader, believing that he has the potential to become an excellent soldier. In Sun Liren's graduation memorial book, his comments were "excellent" and his graduation point was "excellent".
Sun Liren's graduation manual and comments when he graduated from the Virginia Military Academy
After graduating from the military academy, Sun Liren did not rush to return to China, but spent a year visiting Europe and inspecting the military development of European military powers such as Britain, France, Germany and Italy, and while increasing his own knowledge, he found the gap.
In June 1928, Sun Liren returned to China on an ocean-going cargo ship, leaned against the Dalian wharf, and then went straight home.
Although I have returned from my studies, Sun Liren should consider where the future is.
And his final decision was the largest party in China at that time, the Kuomintang founded by Sun Yat-sen.
Sun Liren's first position in the Kuomintang was to be an instructor and rank lieutenant in the Kuomintang Central Party School.
It's pretty good, at least one level higher than when he graduated from Virginia Military Academy!
But Sun Liren was not satisfied with being an instructor in the school. He was a professional soldier who graduated from a military academy. Even if he was no less than the graduates of Whampoa Military Academy , he naturally had his own arrogance. Being an instructor in a military academy is called a talent.
Anti-Japanese general
The first noble person Sun Liren met in the Kuomintang was Song Ziwen .
After Song Ziwen's recommendation, Sun Liren was quickly reused. In 1930, Sun Liren became the Guard Corps of the General Command of the Army, Navy and Air Force, serving as the deputy commander and the rank of colonel.
In two years, from lieutenant to be promoted to colonel, Sun Liren's promotion is extremely fast, but it can also be seen that the Kuomintang's random employment and the relaxation of the system.
In 1932, Sun Liren was transferred to the position of the Second Detachment of the Tax Police Corps as the leader of the Fourth Regiment. His position changed and his military rank remained unchanged.
Sun Liren did a good job in office, but because he had a literary temperament and was incompatible with the big and thick military soldiers around him, some people in the army of the country did not like him very much, including Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Kuomintang.
This is also one of the reasons why he did not value Sun Liren very much. Another reason is Chiang Kai-shek's old habit. He always has a prejudice against non- Huangpu , believing that non-kindergarten or legitimate are not considered his own people. An isolated minister like Huang Baitao, who is not Huangpu but is valued by Chiang, is considered an isolated case.
But soon, these people's views on Sun Liren were improved because the local anti-Japanese outbreak broke out.
In 1932, the "January 28th" War of Resistance broke out. The Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police Corps led by Sun Liren participated in the war with the Independent Brigade of the No. 88th Division after expansion. This Independent Brigade was trained by Sun Liren himself, forming a relatively strong combat power.
In the battle, Sun Liren's troops fought bravely, and he himself led by the way. He always charged on the front line, not only was he loved by the officers and soldiers, but also made other officers' impression of him change.
But Sun Liren's battle to become famous was later on the battlefield of the full-scale anti-Japanese war.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, the full-scale Anti-Japanese War broke out. At this time, Sun Liren served as the captain of the tax police regiment and the rank of colonel.
In the Battle of Shanghai, he led his troops to fight bravely, through life and death.
After the army retreated from Shanghai, in Songhu Battle , Sun Liren's troops were located in Suzhou River Defense Zone. After there was no danger of accidentally injuring civilians, Sun Liren led his troops to let go of the Japanese army to fight a big battle.
Sun Liren led the team to charge. Under his leadership, the troops repelled the Japanese group charge seven times, dragged the enemy to Suzhou River , allowing the Japanese army to cross the Suzhou River and directly take the Chinese army's rear plan to go bankrupt, greatly curbing the enemy's invasion progress.
However, Sun Liren's troops also suffered heavy casualties. After all, the national army at that time was still a little worse than the strong Japanese soldiers.
However, Sun Liren's courage was also recognized by Chiang Kai-shek, calling him "they can't beat him, they can't kill him, and they are not afraid of death."
Songhu Battle
Indeed, although Sun Liren was an officer, he rushed to the forefront every time he fought. was severely injured several times under the enemy's machine gun . When he was at its worst, he was injured 13 places, his blood was flowing like paper, and his life was in danger.
But even so, Sun Liren survived and survived.
After the war, Chiang Kai-shek promoted Sun Liren to the Army Major General. In 1941, Sun Liren was appointed as the commander of the newly formed 38th Division. This time, his combat target was the Japanese army of Myanmar .
In Myanmar, Sun Liren once again fought head-on with the Japanese army and fought many great victories. Among them, the first great victory of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myanmar was completed by the new 38th Division under Sun Liren.
Here, Sun Liren's talents were fully utilized. He was called "Oriental Rommel" by friendly forces of the Allied Forces, and his influence in the Kuomintang army also increased day by day.
Sun Liren exchanged experience with the US military entering Myanmar
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sun Liren was promoted to lieutenant general of the army and took over the new first army of the US military.
This army was personally organized by Chiang Kai-shek. All equipment was American equipment, and some Japanese equipment was supplemented by them. Its combat effectiveness was very strong. is one of the five trump cards of the Kuomintang army.
Asing the commander of the New First Army, Sun Liren's confidence was inflated. As a result, he became arrogant and arrogant, and often spoke to his superiors and colleagues, which made Chiang Kai-shek very annoyed with him.
This boredom finally broke out after Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan.
false guilt
After retreating to Taiwan, Sun Liren served as the "Taiwan Defense Commander" and had a rank of lieutenant general, which was considered to be a high position.
However, Sun Liren was not satisfied with this. He told Chiang Kai-shek that he hoped Chiang Kai-shek could be promoted to the rank of general and on an equal footing with Bai Chongxi and .
In terms of ability, Sun Liren and Bai Chongxi are a little different, but they are only a little less qualified and status. It seems that it is impossible to promote him to the rank of general.
But Chiang Kai-shek didn't like the feeling of being pointed at him, so he politely declined Sun Liren's request.
But because Sun Liren is a graduate of the US military academy, not to mention the Allied US military in World War II , he can even speak, and his influence is very strong.
This problem made Chiang Kai-shek very uncomfortable. He didn't like Sun Liren, but he had to use him, because for Chiang Kai-shek, the last life-saving straw and his hope for "counterattack and restoration".
In 1951, Sun Liren was promoted to the rank of general and second-level army general.
But one time later, Chiang Kai-shek accidentally heard the news that it was the Americans who were disappointed with Chiang Kai-shek and decided to establish another puppet to take charge of Taiwan, and that person was Sun Liren.
succeeded Roosevelt as the President of the United States Truman
This news was like stepping on Chiang Kai-shek's cat's tail, which made him furious immediately. So, he did everything and immediately fabricated a "Sun Liren incident", causing Sun Liren to step down, seized his post and cut off his power, and imprisoned him.
This time, Sun Liren has completely stopped.
Chang Kai-shek is a real villain, and this sentence is not false at all!
Although Sun Liren requested a retrial for his injustice, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards Sun Liren was very firm, that was, to completely disappear from the American "consideration list".
Anyway, it’s just dragging it until Sun Liren fades out of the American vision.
And this sentence is the whole of Sun Liren’s 33 years of claustrophobic life.
At the beginning, Sun Liren was still very unhappy and often got angry at the air, but after a long time, he would not receive a response no matter how angry he was.
This is all his life every day. Because he was in a semi-housed state, Sun Liren could not even step out of his home, because outside his door, there was a group of "soft nails" arranged by Chiang Kai-shek. These spies were specifically staring at Sun Liren and his family, allowing them to enter and leave.
Later years, Sun Liren and his wife
Like a group of prisoners.
Sun Liren's life in his later years, or when he was imprisoned and restricted from freedom, his life was very difficult, and the reason was very simple, he had no money.
Because he was someone Chiang Kai-shek didn't like, the authorities did not pay him a salary, and he couldn't come out and could not stay in the house. With no one to help him, life could hardly continue.
Luckily, Sun Liren knew how to plant some fruits and melons. He relied on his own, worked with a few acres of thin fields, and finally barely supplied the family. Later, he even lowered a hillside to plant fruits and melons and fruits, and then he raised all his children.
Sun Liren's claustrophobic life lasted until Chiang Ching-kuo's death, for a full 33 years.
Jiang Jingguo
But shortly after that, Sun Liren himself was about to die. On November 19, 1990, Sun Liren died of illness at home. His only last words were, " I am worthy of my country, but I am sorry for the nation. I am relocated to the local burial and will not return to the mainland. Also, my coffin does not need to be buried in the soil, just leave it alone. "
