During the War of Resistance Against Japan, countless revolutionary fighters fought bravely to protect their homeland. Although some people are not recorded, their credit is unquestionable.
We are going to talk about a general who ran away in case of trouble, but he also had a lot of achievements. He lived until 2007 and his son was very good.
Surely someone would want to ask what kind of general would choose to escape? There was an old saying that a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier, but this general was like a soldier. He is Sun Yuanliang, born in Sichuan in 1904.
His father was Zhixian of the late Qing Dynasty, who left when he was young. Although his father's departure gave him a heavy blow, he has always obeyed the ancestral precepts, worked hard, studied seriously, and his grades were also very good. It is precisely because of this that he will eventually be admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and become a soldier.
His first escape occurred in 1926, when the Northern Expedition warlord Sun Chuanfang. Because of his proper command, Nanchang was the first to be attacked. Many people will be happy and excited in the face of this situation, and he is no exception.
Just when he was proud and ready to go to find fun, Sun Chuanfang ran away. Their division completely collapsed, and incidentally lost Nanchang. At that time, he was the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division, and he was the first to escape.
Everyone should know that escaping from the battlefield will disturb the hearts of soldiers and make soldiers unable to find their way. Therefore, Old Jiang was particularly angry at that time and almost shot him. But there was a man named Xue Yue who interceded for him, because he felt that Sun Yuanliang was a talented person who could pick up a big beam.
It was only because of this that he kept his life, and the average person would definitely be shot on the spot. Not only was he not shot, but he was also sent to Japan to study. When he returned from his studies, he became the commander of the First Brigade Artillery Regiment.
He will soon be promoted to brigade commander, but many people are not convinced, thinking that he does not have any skills, just a "foreign devil" who has returned from studying abroad, but everything later tells them that Sun Yuanliang has special skills.
In August 1937, the Battle of Songhu broke out in full swing, and he led the 88th Division to bear the brunt of it, fighting bravely and desperately killing the enemy. Soon after, his lustful nature was also exposed, and although the battle was not successful, it did not delay business. Not only was he not scolded, but he also got a sum of money because he had made a military achievement.
The second time he ran was during the defense of Nanjing, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Nanjing was to find the Qinglou, and he still remembered the right thing. The Japanese army broke through the main direction of the Fukuo position in less than two or three days, and after being broken, he not only did not inform the troops, but also hid in the Nanjing Outer Pavilion.
The third was at the Battle of Huaihai, when he was already surrounded, but he escaped anyway. There must be a lot of people who want to ask why? Obviously, he was already surrounded, and he could even escape, was his ability so big? In fact, he did not rely on force or sneak away quietly. Under the siege at that time, it was difficult to escape in these two ways.
So he took a different approach, first disguised as an aide-de-camp to take advantage of the chaos, and then disguised as a common man to escape to the railway station. In fact, if this method is applied to the right place, it is a very good thing, although the last time he used it in the right place, but the first two times are really infuriating.
Although he was a fugitive general, he also had a lot of records. After the war, he went to Japan to do a small business and eventually settled in Taiwan at the age of 103. Although he had been fighting the War of Resistance all his life, his son Qin Han had no contact with the industry. Instead, they were exposed to the complete opposite industry - entertainment. Qin Han made the people of the whole country know him with a work, and he also won countless awards.
