After the Xi'an Incident, nearly 200,000 northeast armies were leaderless and eventually developed into internal carnage

After the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, on December 25, 1936, Zhang Xueliang sent Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, never to return, so the heroic feat was followed by the tragedy of eternal hatred. Nearly 200,000 Northeast China troops were leaderless, and there were serious differences between the main warrior and the issue, and finally developed into internal carnage.

Chang

On February 2, 1937, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu, and others of the Northeast Army's young and strong faction, who disregarded the overall situation, killed Wang Yizhe, commander of the 67th Army, Xu Fang, chief of the Staff Office of the Northwest Headquarters, Song Xueli, deputy director of the Department, and Jiang Bin, director of the Transportation Department. After the bloody incident, In order to avenge Wang Yizhe, Liu Duoquan, a close friend of Wang Yizhe and commander of the 105th Division, drove his troops into Xi'an to search for shaozhuang officers and booby-trapped Gao Fuyuan, a brigade commander who had contributed to the anti-Japanese resistance of the Northeast Army, causing the tragedy of internal carnage to intensify. At the critical juncture, the CPC representative Zhou Enlai painstakingly did many kinds of work to avoid the further expansion of the situation. In March 1937, the senior generals of the Northeast Army rashly accepted the "B Case" proposed by Chiang Kai-shek for the eastern transfer of the Northeast Army, and slipped into the trap of the division and use of various armies and the division of troops. The Northeast Army was transferred to the east and stationed in southern Henan, northern Anhui, and northern Jiangsu. From April to June, the Nanjing government reorganized and downsized the Northeast Army, turning the large into the small and the strong into the weak, and reducing the number of A troops from four divisions per army to the second division of each army and the second brigade of each division, and only the 2nd Cavalry Army retained three divisions.

The reorganized Northeast Army consisted of 6 corps: the 49th Army, commanded by Liu Duoquan, with jurisdiction over the 105th Division (Division Commander Gao Pengyun) and the 109th Division (Division Commander Zhao Yi); the 51st Army, commanded by Yu Xuezhong, had jurisdiction over the 113th Division (Division Commander Zhou Guanglie) and the 114th Division (Division Commander Mou Zhongheng); the 53rd Army, commanded by Wan Fulin, commanded by the 116th Division (Division Commander Zhou Fucheng) and the 130th Division (Division Commander Zhu Hongxun); the 57th Army, commanded by Commander Miao Zhengliu, had jurisdiction over the 111th Division (Division Commander Chang Endo) and the 112th Division (Division Commander Huo Shouyi) The 67th Army, commanded by Wu Keren, had jurisdiction over the 107th Division (division commander Jin Kuibi) and the 108th Division (division commander Zhang Wenqing); the 2nd Cavalry Army, commander He Zhuguo, had jurisdiction over the 3rd Cavalry Division (division commander Xu Liang), the 4th Cavalry Division (division commander Wang Qifeng), and the 6th Cavalry Division (division commander Liu Guiwu).

After the Xi'an soldiers defected from the Northeast Army, the 10th Division (division commander Shen Ke), the 10th Cavalry Division (division commander Tan Zixin), the 6th Artillery Brigade (brigade commander Huang Yong'an), and the 8th Artillery Brigade (brigade commander Qiao Fang) all attached themselves to Chiang Kai-shek's army. Feng Zhanhai's 63rd Army, which was originally formed by the Northeast Volunteer Army, was revoked, and only the 91st Division was retained. In addition, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ma Zhanshan was also ordered to form a new unit, the Northeast Advance Army.

The Northeast Army was later divided and dismembered by Chiang Kai-shek And part of the battlefield uprising was reborn

In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the Northeast Army was divided and used by Chiang Kai-shek in various battlefields, and was gradually weakened, dismembered, and eliminated, and some of them revolted on the battlefield and moved toward a new life.

49th Army

In mid-to-late August 1937, the Japanese army began to attack the south along the Jinpu Road. Liu Duoquan led the 49th Army into Cangxian and near Jinghai. On August 21, the right-hand cover, composed of the main force of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 10th Division, began to advance towards Shizukai. One of the 49th Army immediately blocked it and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy. The Japanese bombarded Jinghai with heavy artillery fire, and the defenders of the 49th Army struggled to resist and were forced to retreat south.

At the end of October 1937, the 49th Army was transferred to the Songhu Battlefield. The 105th Division held its position on the qianjiang lane and jiangqiao line, but was attacked by heavy Japanese fire, and Gu Zhongquan, the commander of the 626th regiment, was killed, and the first battalion of the regiment suffered more than half of the casualties. The 109th Division fought several times the Japanese army on the front line of Jiwangmiao and Ma Tongqiao, and three regimental commanders, including Gao Muyin and Jiang Kuiju, were killed one after another, and the battalion commander suffered 2/3 casualties. The entire division of the 109th Division was basically exhausted.

Despite the heavy losses of the 49th Army, Chiang Kai-shek ignored its demands for replenishment after the war. In desperation, Liu Duoquan took Zhao Yi, the commander of the 109th Division, to Wuhan to personally go to wuhan for activities, spent a lot of money to open the door, and transferred all the unarmed pre-5 divisions to supplement the 109th Division. After discussing the conditions in advance, Zhao Yi was still the commander of the 109th Division, and all the chief officers above the regimental commander of the former 5th Division remained in office. Liu Duoquan equipped the division with some of the weapons that Zhang Xueliang had retained that year. The supplementary 109th Division type I Czech rifle, each company of six Czech light machine guns, each battalion equipped with heavy machine gun companies, regimental mortars, can be called a well-equipped fresh force. However, Liu Duoquan and Zhao Yi were not long happy, and when they issued an order to let the 109th Division be pulled out, the four Huangpusheng regimental commanders who had been retained by the original 5th Division all took a long vacation, and the troops could not move at all. The incident was reflected to Chiang Kai-shek, who, instead of punishing the deliberate mischievous regimental commander, took the opportunity to dismiss Zhao Yi and replace him with Li Shude, who was also replaced by a concubine, and other officers of the Northeast Army appointed by Liu Duoquan were also removed, and then assigned the 109th Division to the command of Liu Zhi in the 1st Theater of Operations. An entire division of the 49th Army was thus stripped away. In 1939, a large number of Japanese troops stormed Nanchang, and Liu Duoquan led his troops to defend the first line of Yusongshan and Wanjiabu. Due to the defeat in the water repair operation, Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of the problem and held on to it, and vigorously attacked the 49th Army, and Liu Duoquan was demoted from lieutenant general to colonel; Wang Tiehan, commander of the 105th Division, was removed from his post and ordered Dai to make meritorious contributions; Deputy Commander Gao Pengyun and Chief of Staff Qin Jingyu were transferred one after another, and Lin Yaotang and Ling Zhencang of the Central Committee were sent to succeed him respectively. Who could have predicted that the entire 49th Army of the Northeast Army would exist in name only!

In December 1941, Wang Tiehan was promoted to commander of the 49th Army. In September 1947, the 49th Army was transferred to the northeast to participate in the civil war, and was later completely annihilated by the People's Liberation Army in the Liaoshen Campaign. Wang Tiehan fled to Taiwan before the liberation of the mainland. Liu Duoquan, a former commander of the 49th Army, remained on the mainland and served as a counselor in the Counselor's Office of the State Council and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference after the liberation of the country.

51st Army

　In August 1937, the 51st Army was transferred to Shandong to take charge of sea defense, and Yu Xuezhong was appointed deputy commander of the 3rd Army and commander of the 51st Army. In January 1938, he was promoted to commander-in-chief of the 3rd Army, and soon became commander-in-chief of the 5th Army.

In January 1938, the Japanese army dispatched 16 divisions and regiments totaling 230,000 troops to attack the strategic stronghold of Xuzhou in two ways along the Jinpu Railway, one south and one north. Yu Xuezhong, with a strength of about 25,000 troops in the two divisions of the 51st Army, stubbornly defended Bengbu and fought a bloody battle at Linhuai Pass, resisting the crazy attack of 40,000 people in the three divisions of the Japanese army. In the defense for 8 consecutive days, the 51st Army suffered more than 7,000 casualties, but they held the Huai River, and the Japanese casualties reached more than 9,000.

After the Battle of Huaihe, Yu Xuezhong led a fatigued division to reinforce Taierzhuang, served as the deputy commander of the Central Corps, and made further achievements in the battles of leading his troops to take Hanzhuang, compete for Jiajiabu, and fight yuwangshan in blood. When Xuzhou retreated, after Yu Xuezhong led the army, the department was divided and surrounded by the enemy and cut into several sections, but he commanded the troops to fight bloodily, finally broke through the siege, successfully completed the cover task, was commended by the 5th Theater of Operations and the Military Committee of the National Government, and promoted to a first-class general.

In June 1938, the 51st Army was ordered to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and Yu Xuezhong served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 3rd Corps and the commander-in-chief of the 5th Group Army, and fought fiercely with the Japanese army at the foot of Dabie Mountain. After the fall of Wuhan, Yu Xuezhong led his troops to fight a guerrilla attack on Dabie Mountain, attacking the enemy's rear, and resting in the area of Jinjiazhai.

In February 1939, Yu Xuezhong was appointed commander-in-chief of the Lusu Theater and commanded the 51st army and 57th army of the Northeast Army to fight guerrilla warfare in the Lunan Mountains. During this period, he no longer concurrently held the post of commander of the 51st Army, and the commander of the 114th Division, Mou Zhongheng, was promoted to commander. From 1939 to 1943, during the 5 years of the Lunan War of Resistance, Yu Xuezhong suffered heavy casualties.

In March 1944, Yu Xuezhong was dismissed from his post as commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater of Operations and appointed vice president of the Military Senate of the Nationalist Government, losing military power. After Mou Zhongheng was transferred to the deputy commander of the 10th Theater in December 1944, Zhou Yuying, the former commander of the 113th Division, succeeded him as the commander of the 51st Army.

During the Liberation War, the 51st Army was reorganized into the 51st Division, with Zhou Yuying as the commander of the division and stationed at Zaozhuang. In January 1947, Zhou Yuying led the reorganized 51st Division to surrender to our East China Field Army. Mou Zhongheng became deputy commander of the Second Suijin District in 1946 and was captured in the Battle of Jinan in September 1948. In early 1949, Chiang Kai-shek coerced Yu Xuezhong into going to Taiwan, and with the help of underground Communists, he took refuge in the countryside of Chongqing, Sichuan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yu Xuezhong served as a member of the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the National Defense Commission, a member of the People's Committee of Hebei Province, and the director of the Sports Commission of Hebei Province.

53rd Army

　After the July 7 Incident, Wan Fulin served as deputy commander-in-chief of the 1st Army group and commander of the 53rd Army, responsible for the defense of the Yongding River and the Daqing River north of the Pinghan Line. Under the fierce attack of the Japanese invading army, Wanbu suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw from the battlefield and guerrilla in the Taihang Mountains alone. In February 1939, Wan Fulin reorganized his troops and participated in the operations against Japan in northern Henan and eastern Henan. In June, the Battle of Wuhan began, and Wan Fulin served as the commander of the 26th Army and the commander of the 53rd Army, responsible for the defense of De'an and Xingzi. In September, in the southeast of Hubei Daye and Yangxin front to resist the invading Japanese army, after several days of bitter fighting, the enemy was seriously damaged, and his headquarters also suffered heavy casualties. After the Battle of Wuhan, the 53rd Army was ordered to rest and replenish, and Wan Fulin was transferred to Chongqing to serve as a member of the Military Commission of the National Government, and the post of military commander was taken over by Zhou Fucheng. In 1943, the 53rd Army was incorporated into the 20th Group Army of the Expeditionary Force to fight against Japan, making outstanding contributions to the opening of the Yunnan-Burma Road, an international communication line from Yunnan to Burma.

During the Liberation War, in November 1948, Zhou Fucheng led the officers and men of the 53rd Army to surrender in the Liaoshen Campaign. Wan fled to Taiwan in 1949. Huang Xiansheng, the former deputy commander of the 53rd Army, was arrested by the Kuomintang in 1938 and killed by Kuomintang agents in Chongqing on November 27, 1949, after the Xi'an Incident.

It is worth mentioning that on October 10, 1937, after the 691st Regiment of the 346th Brigade of the 116th Division of the 53rd Army completed the task of covering the retreat of the main force in the North China Campaign, it lost contact with the large troops, and under the leadership of the regimental commander and Communist Party member Lü Zhengcao, it was reorganized into the People's Self-Defense Army in Xiaoqiao Town, Jin County, and resolutely went north to fight guerrillas in the Jizhong Plain. Later, this unit was officially organized into the Eighth Route Army Sequence. The anti-Japanese base areas in the Jizhong Plain created by Lü Zhengcao created a brilliant and splendid page in the history of guerrilla warfare in the plains in the struggle against "encroachment" and anti-"sweeping."

57th Army

　In November 1937, Miao Zhengliu's 57th Army was ordered to garrison the key points of river defense along the Nantong, Qidong, Haimen, Rugao, and Jingjiang rivers. The 112th Division engaged the enemy near Wuxi, and then participated in the battles of Gongwei Jiangyin and Zhenjiang, with heavy losses, the division commander Huo Shouyi was wounded, and the whole division withdrew to jiangbei. On December 10, the 112th Division departed for the Nanjing front. On the 12th, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Nanjing, and the 671st Regiment and the 673rd Regiment of the 112th Division blocked the Japanese army at the front line of the Yangtze River north of Nanjing, suffering heavy casualties. Li Lanchi, deputy commander of the 112th Division, was shot and killed near the Taiping Gate in Nanjing while leading the charge, and was later posthumously promoted to major general by the Nationalist government.

In November, the 111th Division of the 57th Army fought against the landing Japanese on the front line of Jingjiang and Yangzhou, and the Battle of Jingyang was fought, and several battles were extremely fierce. At dawn on November 25, the Japanese bombarded the positions of the 111th Division on the north bank of the Yangtze River with heavy artillery fire, occupied Shijia Bridge, covered a large number of Japanese landings, and occupied the Dutian Temple. The Wan Yi troops of the 333rd Brigade of the 111th Division all retreated to henggou bridge. At 8:00 a.m., the Japanese army rushed along the Yangzhou City Highway to the position of the 333rd Brigade, and the commander of the 111th Division, Chang Endo, personally led two battalions of officers and men to fight with the enemy in blood. At the time of the fierce battle, the commander of the Chang Division decisively ordered the 662nd Regiment to attack and repel three counterattacks of the Japanese infantry in a row. The Japanese then brought in tanks to open the way in front, followed by infantry and rushed to the position of the 111th Division again. Commander Chang commanded the soldiers to bombard the enemy tanks with flat-fire guns and cluster grenades, and to fire at the Japanese infantry with heavy fire. At 4 p.m., the Japanese fled. The 111th Division took advantage of the victory and pursued to Shijia Bridge.

In March 1938, during the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 333rd Brigade of the 57th Army was ordered to rush to the aid of Pang Bingxun's troops guarding Linyi, Shandong. In the face of the elite Sakagaki Division of the Japanese Army, the officers and men of the 333rd Brigade were not afraid, and fought bloody battles for 15 days and nights, successively conquering three enemy strongholds. During the battle, the 333rd Brigade suffered more than a thousand casualties, some battalions only had more than ten people left, and some company officers were all casualties. The Japanese also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 2,000 casualties. To this end, the 333rd Brigade was commended by the General Headquarters of the Battle, and the 57th Army also issued a telegram to the whole army, calling it "the siege of Linyi and the reputation of strengthening the army.".

In February 1939, the 57th Army was transferred to the Rusu Theater to conduct guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines under the command of Yu Xuezhong. During this period, the senior generals of the 57th Army began to move towards reaction. On September 15, 1940, Miao Zhengliu, commander of the 57th Army, negotiated with representatives of the Japanese army and agreed on a secret agreement of "mutual non-aggression and joint defense of communism". This incident was learned by Chang Endo, commander of the 111th Division, and Wan Yi, commander of the 333rd Brigade, that both Chang Endo and Wan Yi were underground members of the COMMUNIST Party, and the two secretly drew up a plan to eliminate the traitors. On the night of September 22, Chang Endo and Wan Yi led people to raid the military headquarters of the military commander Miao Zhengliu, captured the deputy commander Park Bingshan and the negotiators who signed the agreement with the Japanese army, and Miao Zhengliu fled in a hurry. However, Chiang Kai-shek not only did not strictly punish the collaborators with the enemy, but instead reprimanded Chang Enduo for "not knowing the general body", and also revoked the 57th Army number, and the 111th and 112th Divisions were directly under the command of the Lusu Theater, and plotted to disintegrate the 111th Division. On August 3, 1942, under the leadership of Chang Endo, Wan Yi, and Guo Weicheng, chief of the administrative affairs office of the Lusu Theater, the first unit of the 111th Division resolutely announced an uprising and joined the Eighth Route Army at a grim moment when the Japanese and the anti-communist arrogance were stubborn. On the way to the Liberated Areas, Chang Endo was sacrificed on a stretcher. In order to maintain the united front, the rebel troops still used the number of the 111th Division, the division commander was Wan Yi, and the deputy division commander was Guo Weicheng. On October 20, 1944, the unit was officially reorganized into the Coastal Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and Wan Yi was the deputy commander of the Coastal Military Region and the commander of the Coastal Detachment. In August 1945, the Binhai Detachment and other Shandong Eighth Route Army troops formed the "Northeast Advancing Column", which advanced into the northeast under the command of the column commander Wan Yi. Overcoming many difficulties, the troops cooperated with the anti-Japanese coalition army led by Comrade Zhou Baozhong to eliminate the enemy and puppet forces and establish a democratic political power. Later, he fought side by side with his brother troops, and in the Liberation War, he went down to Jiangnan three times, four bao Linjiang, and fought in a bloody battle of Siping, and participated in the great Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, all the way to Hainan Island. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, as a component of the 38th Army, it annihilated the US army in the Battle of Songkuofeng, and played the prestige of the Chinese soldiers! Commander Peng Dehuai of the Volunteer Army specially added two sentences at the end of the commendation telegram: "Long live the Chinese People's Volunteer Army! ”

67th Army

In late August 1937, Wu Keren, full of ambition to serve the country, led the 67th Army to The Great City of Hebei on the North China Front, and built a defensive position on the front line from Yao Madu in the west to Xiaoweizhuang in the middle of the machang. On September 1, the Japanese 6th Division, under the cover of aircraft and heavy artillery, stormed the 67th Army's Ayutthaya defense line. Wu Keren commanded the whole army to fight the enemy bloody battle for ten days, and the Japanese army suffered repeated setbacks and could not advance. When the Japanese army dispatched more than 20 additional motorboats, carrying mountain artillery, machine guns and other heavy weapons to sneak attack on the Ziya River, it was violently attacked by the troops of the 67th Army who were ambushed in Yao Madu in advance, and the first motorboat was first sunk, and the subsequent enemy boats were also intercepted in sections. Although the Japanese fleet counterattacked with heavy firearms and sent aircraft to assist in the battle, under the heavy blows of the 67th Army, it finally collapsed, sank five motorboats, killed and wounded three or four hundred people, and fled. Annoyed and angry, the Japanese army mobilized more than 20 artillery pieces, five aircraft, and dispatched more than 3,000 people to attack the front of the 67th Army again on the 20th. Wu Keren personally came to the front line and commanded the enemy, and the enemy and we even went so far as to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The officers and men of the 67th Army finally overwhelmed the enemy with heavy sacrifices and crushed the powerful offensive of the Japanese army. After more than a month of fighting on the Ayutthaya Defense Line, the 67th Army severely defeated the enemy at the cost of more than 2,000 casualties, annihilated thousands of enemy troops, and blocked the enemy's southern prisoners, covering the safe retreat of friendly troops, and was commended by the supreme commander's headquarters.

At the end of October 1937, the Chinese army in the Songhu battlefield was in a disadvantageous position, and Chiang Kai-shek rushed to draw reinforcements from the 67th Army from the North China Battlefield to the south. On November 5, the 67th Army was ordered to cooperate with Guo Rudong of the 43rd Army to "seize Songjiang and hold on for three days" to cover the retreat of the Chinese army on the main battlefield. At 12 o'clock on the night of the 8th, the military order of "holding on to the three days" had been completed, and Wu Keren asked Guo Rudong to lead the remnants of the 43rd Army with 100 people to withdraw first, and he personally led the 67th Army to cover the rear. After a hard battle to break through all the way, on the afternoon of the 9th, Wu Keren led his troops to baihe port on the Suzhou River. Unexpectedly, the Suzhou River Bridge was blown up, and Wu Keren braved the enemy planes to bomb indiscriminately and command his subordinates to cross the river first. In the evening, a Japanese plainclothes team suddenly arrived, and during the battle, Wu Keren was unfortunately shot and fell into the water, and died honorably, at the age of 43. This was the first Kuomintang lieutenant general to die for the country on the frontal battlefield after the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression! Throughout the battle to defend Songjiang and break through, the 67th Army also gloriously killed Wu Tonggang, chief of staff of the army, Deng Yuzhuo, chief of staff of the division, Liu Qiwen, commander of the 322nd Brigade, Zhu Zhirong, commander of the 321st Brigade, And Wang Xirui, as well as the vast majority of battalion, company, and platoon commanders. However, what is indignant is that such a loyal and courageous unit not only did not receive the praise and commendation it deserved, but was slandered by the propaganda institutions with ulterior motives as "Wu Keren led the rebellion of the troops, and the 67th Army surrendered to the enemy." Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to cancel the number of the 67th Army and reduce it to the 108th Division, with the division commander Zhang Wenqing and allocated to the 25th Army of wang Jingjiu of the Central Army.

Later, Zhang Wenqing was promoted to commander of the 25th Army. In 1940, the 108th Division participated in the encirclement and suppression of the New Fourth Army's Anhui Incident. During the Liberation War, the 25th Army of the 108th Division was under the command of Huang Baitao, and during the Battle of Huaihai, it was attacked by the 4th Column and the 13th Column of Huaye in Daxingzhuang, Liangtaizi, Daxiaoyazhuang, and Nianzhuang respectively, until the whole army was destroyed.

2nd Cavalry Corps

In late August 1937, the 2nd Cavalry Army was transferred to the Jinsui Front to fight the Japanese army. Commander He Zhuguo led the 3rd Cavalry Division (the 6th Cavalry Division fought in Suiyuan and was under the command of Ma Zhanshan; the 4th Cavalry Division had been stationed in Hebei, and in 1938 due to the lack of horses, the 4th Cavalry Division was changed to the 24th Infantry Division, and the number of the 4th Cavalry Division was abolished) from Shaanxi to the north via Tongpu Road, reinforcing Datong, under the command of Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the 18th Group Army. After the fall of Datong, the 2nd Cavalry Army retreated to the area of Pinglu in the northwest of Jin to resist the Japanese. In the Battle of Jingping in late September, the 2nd Cavalry Corps was defeated by the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses. In the winter of 1939, the 2nd Cavalry Army was ordered to change its defense to the area of Shenqiu and Xiangcheng on the henan side, under the command of Sun Tongxuan, the forward commander of the 1st Theater. In 1940, He Zhuguo was promoted to commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, and Xu Liang, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division, took over as the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Army. Later, the 6th Cavalry Division was returned to its formation, and the 3rd Cavalry Division and the 6th Cavalry Division were merged, retaining the number of the 3rd Cavalry Division, and the Liao Yunze Department of the Provisional 14th Division of Wang Zhaowen was transferred to the 2nd Cavalry Army. In 1944, Xu Liang was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Army was Liao Yuanze, the commander of the provisional 14th Division of the non-Northeast Army, liao Yuanze, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division, wang Zhao, the deputy commander of the 2nd Army, and the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division was promoted by Xu Changxi.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the 2nd Cavalry Army marched to Jinan. In 1946, Wang Yaowu served as the director of the 2nd Appeasement District, changed the 2nd Cavalry Army into the 96th Army, still with Liao Yuanze as the commander, and the 3rd Cavalry Division to which he belonged was changed to the provisional 15th Division, so that the number of the 2nd Cavalry Army no longer existed, and the Cavalry Army of the Northeast Army was completely destroyed.

He Zhuguo lost his sight in both eyes after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and retired from the army to recuperate. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political

In 1955, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Chinese People's Liberation Army first conferred the title, 25 generals from the former Northeast Army were awarded the rank of general, including 1 general: Lü Zhengcao; 1 lieutenant general: Wan Yi; 23 major generals: Xie Fang, Chen Ruiting, Jia Tao, Sha Ke, Feng Yongshun, Zhao Donghuan, Yu Quanshen, Zhao Chengjin, Gao Cunxin, Li Jue, Xu Ming, Song Xuefei, Jin Zhenzhong, Zhang Zhiyi, Yang Youshan, Zhang Jialuo, Luo Wen, Ji Tingxie, Guan Songtao, Guo Weicheng, Wang Zhenqian, Jiang Chao, and Zhang Xuesi.
