Chapter 560: Each Has Its Own Destiny (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

can be praised by the prime minister for his patriotism, and can be compared with Ye Shuai, naturally because Wu Qiujian is not an unknown person. 35xs

He was one of the 108 generals of Whampoa, and was also known as an "anti-Japanese guerrilla expert behind enemy lines."

Although he failed to capture the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, he led the 523rd Regiment to hold its position on Tiantongan Road in Jiangwan for more than three months without taking a single step back.

The soldiers under his command were replaced when they died, and they were replaced by two or three stubbles.

The 523rd Regiment fought so bravely, and the rest of the 88th Division was even better.

The 524th Regiment of the same brigade, under the leadership of the regiment commander Han Xianyuan, was stationed in Zhabei, and it also held on for three months without retreating.

"Declaration Reporter" went to the front line to interview, and various domestic newspapers actually republished it, and Han Xianyuan was called the "hero leader".

In the famous Sixing Warehouse Defense Battle in later generations, the patriotic hero Xie Jinyuan was his deputy.

But Fang Buwei thinks that compared to Xie Jinyuan, Han Xianyuan is more heroic.

After withdrawing from the sea to Nanjing, the 524th Regiment was transferred to Yuhuatai to garrison, and at the beginning of the battle, Han Xianyuan mobilized the whole regiment: swore to live and die with the position.

The result is a prophecy.

After holding on for five days, Han Xianyuan and the whole group died heroically, and no one survived.

Also saying this at the same time as him was Zhu Chi, who was also the commander of the 528th Regiment of the 88th Division. Flash Dance

Zhu Chi naturally did it, and the difference between the time of the two sacrifices was less than three hours.

These two were both Song Yuanliang, who had been promoted to army commander at the time, and ran away, but they still personally led their subordinates and did not retreat until the last moment of the battle.

Han Xianyuan was only thirty-two years old, and Zhu Chi was only thirty-four years old.

In addition to these three regiments, the 88th Division also has a 527th Regiment, the commander of which is Liao Lingqi, who is now stationed in Nanxiang.

This one is also a legend.

During the attack on the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, Huang Meixing was killed, and he was ordered to take over the post of brigade commander.

He gritted his teeth and personally led his subordinates to charge into battle, and when more than half of his headquarters were killed and wounded, and nearly eighty percent of his officers were killed or wounded, he was about to attack the Japanese headquarters, but he received an armistice order.

After a slight rectification, he led the 527th Regiment of the Headquarters and the 528th Regiment of Zhu Chi to defend the line from Jiangwan to Zhabei.

He also fought to the death and did not retreat until he received the retreat order from the headquarters of the Central Route Army and withdrew to Nanjing.

During the defense of Nanjing, the 88th Division was ordered to hold Yuhuatai, and he naturally had him among them.

However, Liao Lingqi was lucky, his two regiment commanders were killed in battle, and he led the remnants to repel the last attack of the Japanese army.

As soon as the Japanese army saw that the other ** troops had begun to flee in a large area, they thought about why they didn't eat the fat meat in their mouths, and they just wanted to gnaw on his hard bones, so they abandoned the Yuhuatai position and turned to pursue the other ** troops that had fled. Flash Dance

At this time, Liao Lingqi didn't know that the culprit who caused the rout, division commander Song Yuanliang, ranked third.

Liao Lingqi, Han Xianyuan, and Zhu Chi didn't know from beginning to end, and the day before, Song Yuanliang fled.

And the 88th Division was the first to know that Song Yuanliang fled without a fight, and it was Wu Qiujian's 523rd Regiment.

Because he is Song Yuanliang's brother-in-law, he is now called the eldest brother.

When Song Yuanliang fled, he specially sent someone to inform him.

As a result, the herald was shocked and rushed into the operational command room of the 523rd Regiment, when Wu Qiujian was deploying the battle plan, and his battalion commanders and company commanders were all there.

When I heard this, I blew up on the spot.

When the old division of the 88th Division was at sea, it had basically been beaten by seventy percent, including the middle and low-level officers.

At this time, half of these battalion commanders and company commanders, including the soldiers, who were sitting in the operational command room, were supplemented by the newly incorporated local departments, such as the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army.

Wu Qiujian saw that the general situation was gone, so he proposed that Tang Shengzhi's order to retreat the next day be sent to the rest of the regiments in the name of Song Yuanliang.

But none of his subordinates agreed.

They were afraid that if they all ran away, the Japanese army would return poor.

Wu Qiujian, not to mention sending letters, couldn't even get out of the door of the command room, and was directly tied up by his subordinates.

Fortunately, when he was on the run, his subordinates did not forget him and took him away.

It was a group of rabble, and as soon as they escaped from their positions, they scattered in a hurry, each fleeing for their lives.

And Tang Shengzhi's order to retreat the defenders of Nanjing the next day was spread out one day in advance.

This then led to a large-scale rout......

It was later found out that Wu Qiujian was indeed coerced by his subordinates, and at that time, he was still urging his subordinates to hold their positions and wait for the order of the headquarters to be issued before retreating.

Therefore, Wu Qiujian was not held accountable afterwards, and continued to serve in Song Yuanliang's 29th Army until he retreated to Taiwan.

Later, he served as Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Army and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and lived to be 93 years old.

But Liao Lingqi was not as lucky as him.

Due to the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, Liao Lingqi was promoted to the commander of the 58th Division for his merits.

The deputy division commander is Zhang Lingfu, and the commander of the theater is Xue Yue.

In the first battle of northern Hunan in September 39, the 58th Division was the main force in the main force, and the name of this division was also started from that time.

In September 41, in the second Battle of Xiangbei, Liao Lingqi happened to take leave to return to his hometown to get married, and Zhang Lingfu took Xue Yue's order and led his troops to Changsha.

Because Zhang Lufu was greedy for merit and did not know that Xue Yue had ordered the rest of the troops to withdraw from Changsha, the 58th Division was almost dumped by the Japanese army.

After Liao Lingqi heard the news, he rushed back to Changsha overnight and commanded the troops to break out of the encirclement, but he didn't expect that a big black pot hit his head.

In order to shirk his responsibility for abandoning the city and fleeing, Xue Yue and others covered up the fact that Changsha had fallen again, and said that Liao Lingqi took leave to leave the army and went to Ji'an to get married, saying that he had escaped from the battle.

Liao Lingqi is not Song Yuanliang, and it was the old department of the 88th Division who escaped when he heard that he had escaped, which successfully aroused the anger of the chairman, who did not ask for specific details at all, and ordered Liao Lingqi to be shot on the spot.

He was only thirty-six years old at the time of his death.

is also a coincidence, plus Han Xianyuan and Zhu Chi, the age of the three of them when they died happened to be Song Yuanliang's life......

I don't know if Zhang Lingfu was afraid that Xue Yue would investigate the responsibility for his greed for merit and rashness, which caused heavy casualties to the 58th Division, or if he had other thoughts, but after the chairman's order came down, he did not defend Liao Lingqi a word.

After Liao Lingqi's death, Zhang Lingfu took over as the commander of the 58th Division.

It didn't take long for the matter to be reported to Chongqing by Liao Lingqi's old department, and the chairman ordered a thorough investigation.

The truth was ascertained, Liao Lingqi was rehabilitated, and his body was reburied in the Nanyue Martyrs' Shrine.

Xue Yue was only reprimanded by the chairman of the committee.

Liao Lingqi didn't expect that he was lucky not to be killed by the first governor, but he was unjustly killed by the latter governor.

It can only be said that he is unladylike.
