During the War of Liberation, many national army generals were determined to revolt and join the People's Liberation Army because they opposed the civil war. However, among the generals of these uprisings, one person was brutally killed. He was the only high-ranking general of the Kuomintang uprising generals to be killed.
His name is Huang Qiaosong. In his early years, his father shrank his clothes and went on a diet for him to go to school. At that time, because he had no money to pay for the food, his father gave steamed buns every week. He realized the hardships of life, and let him see the difficulties of the people.
Later he joined the Xuebing Group founded by Feng Yuxiang. During the days of the Xuebing Group, he worked hard and achieved the best results. Later, Feng Yuxiang invited a group of graduates from Lu University and Baoding Military Academy to serve as instructors for the Xuebing Corps. By the time of graduation, Huang Qiaosong had reached the level of military academy graduates.
Huang Qiaosong participated in the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains War. Of course, Feng Yuxiang was defeated later, he was incorporated by Chiang Kai-shek, and was later ordered to participate in the battle of encirclement and suppression of the Red Army. However, because of contact with many Communists during the Northern Expedition, He has a certain understanding of revolutionary thinking, and he has always responded negatively to the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army.
After the September 18th Incident, he was even more opposed to the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army. He always hoped to unite with the outside world. After the July 7th Incident, the officers and soldiers of the 79th brigade of the 27th Division of the 26th Route Army where Huang Qiaosong was located were impassioned and rushed to the front. Wrote an absolute letter to his wife Wang Yifang.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to advance south along the Ping-Han Railway, Huang Qiaosong led the 79 brigade to resist the Japanese army in Liangxiang. This was their first battle with the Japanese army and the two sides launched a fierce battle. During the period, the 79th Brigade destroyed a Japanese armored vehicle and an airplane, and finally attacked the Japanese army on the night of August 11, 1937, and recovered Liangxiang City.
During the defense of Taiyuan, Huang Qiaosong led his troops to fought fierce battles with the Japanese in the area of Niangziguan and Yanmenguan. The fighting was fierce. By the end of the 79th brigade, only 400 soldiers remained. Huang Qiaosong’s last battle on the anti-Japanese battlefield was the defense of Nanyang. At that time, the Japanese army assembled more than 70,000 people to attack Nanyang, and Huang Qiaosong had only one division. However, he just withstood the enemy’s attack for seven days until the United Front. The ministry ordered a retreat before leaving Nanyang.
During the War of Liberation, Huang Qiaosong was very war-weary. He resigned from the military and went into hiding. Later, he was forcibly recalled to take up his post. However, he hid in the hospital whenever there was a war. In 1948, the war in Taiyuan was critical, and Huang Qiaosong was forcibly ordered to support him. He couldn't stay in the hospital and had to go to the front.
At that time, the People's Liberation Army had surrounded Taiyuan. In order to liberate Taiyuan peacefully, Huang Qiaosong’s old superior Gao Shuxun personally wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender. Huang Qiaosong had no intention of fighting, so Gao Shuxun persuaded him to do so. Thinking of the uprising and surrender, we will end the war in Taiyuan as soon as possible and save the people of Taiyuan from the devastation of war. Huang Qiaosong expressed his willingness to surrender to Marshal Xu Xiangqian, and Xu Xiangqian wrote a letter to welcome him.
In fact, before writing to Xu Xiangqian, Huang Qiaosong asked one of his close associates Dai Bingnan, the commander of the 72nd Division, and he also agreed at the time, but he did not expect this person to look on his face after seeing Xu Xiangqian and Gao Shuxun’s reply. After the big change, the deputy commander, Dehou, was secretly contacted. After the two conspired, the commander of the entire army was secretly detained. After
, Dai Bingnan reported to Yan Xishan, but Huang Qiaosong and others were arrested. Chiang Kai-shek became furious when he knew it, and escorted him to Nanjing to be executed. Dai Bingnan and Po Dehou were promoted to 30 army commander and division commander respectively for betraying Huang Qiaosong. However, they were arrested by the People's Liberation Army after the liberation. Dai Bingnan was sentenced to death, and Po Dehou was sentenced to ten years.
