Personal life

General Cai E, a fellow countryman, graduated from Huangpu Phase VI and was sent to France with a bachelor's degree or above 1930. After studying French for three years, I went to St Cyril Military Academy in France. After returning to China, he rose all the way and served as commander of the 9 th Corps. All six Kuomintang armies were equipped with American-style equipment, and Chiang Kai-shek gave two armies to Liao, which shows that Chiang highly valued Liao. After returning to China, he served as commander of cavalry major in the teaching corps, and served as chief of staff of Lieutenant Colonel of the Second Brigade from 65438 to 0937, and experienced the Nanjing Defence War. After the defeat, he met Min and Uncle Guang in Xianhemen Village, Nanjing, calling himself "Xu Guisheng" and was the owner of Hunan Hotel in Nanjing. He Guangshu took him to qixia temple refugee camp and provided him with food; Half a month later, he was taken to the refuge of Jiangbei and his family. About a month and a half later, He Guangshu's son-in-law and son were sent to Liuhe and Jiangba to look for China garrison. At this time, his family knew his name was Liao Yaoxiang. Liao Yaoxiang thus escaped the Nanjing Massacre of the Japanese invaders. 1945 after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Liao Yaoxiang sent someone to find He Guangshu, and thanked him deeply, and revisited qixia temple with the inscription "Return triumphantly and reunite with the old friend Qixia" (still in qixia temple). (See Nanjing Massacre Historical Materials Collection) 1938, Liao served as the chief of staff of the 200th division, participated in the battles of Lanfeng and Guinan, and served as the deputy commander of the new 22nd division in 194 1 year. He fought in Myanmar, but failed to enter India, and received training and equipment from the US military. 1943 10 participated in the counter-offensive in Myanmar and made outstanding achievements. 1944, promoted to commander of the new 6th Army. The northern part of Myanmar is a tropical forest, often infested by savages, so it is called savage mountain. Photo of French Saint Cyril Military Academy 1934 (second from left)

Savage mountain is a mountain full of primitive dense forests, which is extremely dangerous. The supply of large troops is difficult and heavy weapons cannot be used. Japanese elite 18 The 55th United Wing built a stronghold with small troops to prevent mountain resistance. In the savage mountain, the bones of the 5 th Army soldiers who died of illness can be seen everywhere, often a pile of bones sitting around the gun rack. There are nearly 65,438+10,000 remains of Chinese expeditionary forces lying here. In such a difficult situation, the new 1 Army defeated the Japanese elite 18 Division, and its own losses were also very great. Company-level cadres have basically been replaced, which shows the cruelty of the battle. The new 1 38th division commander is not from Huangpu department, but his fate is not as good as Liao's. Later, Chiang Kai-shek was placed under house arrest in Taiwan Province Province for decades because of espionage. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek airlifted the New Sixth Army back to China to participate in the civil war. Before leaving, Liao said to the wounded soldiers who stayed to see the grave: Wait, I'll come back to pick you up. That kind of boldness of vision is like Mai Shuai's brave words "I will come back" when he left Southeast Asia. The wild flowers on the mountain bloom again and again, and the leaves all over the mountain fall layer after layer. Liao is gone forever. A new mound was added next to the old mound.

According to the research of military historians: "Siping Defending War, Lin Biao and Du diamond cut diamond, There were heavy casualties on both sides. On May 15, the 65th Regiment of 22nd Division of Liao Yaoxiang New Sixth Army attacked Weiyuanbao. Except for the first exploratory attack, all the attacks commanded by Lee, head of the 65th regiment, were successful. Objectively speaking, a regiment of the 65 th National Army defeated the main force of the 3 rd column of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army in Weiyuanbao by superior artillery fire (the predecessor of the 40 th Army today, the commander of the 3 rd Longitudinal Army at that time was Cheng). The small battle of Weiyuanbao was of great significance in the early national contest in Northeast China. One regiment of 65 regiments can defeat the main force of 3 verticals. What kind of opponents should the new 6 th Army be afraid of? Weiyuanbao fell, and the battle of Siping was doomed. Therefore, Lin Biao began to deploy and retreat before Yan 'an's orders. Generally speaking, it is very dangerous to command a strategic retreat in the case of heavy losses and defeat in the battle. The slightest mistake will have disastrous consequences. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, such examples abound. To make matters worse, during the evacuation of the Four Seasons, Lin Biao's Minister of Operations, Wang Jifang, defected to the enemy with a lot of documents. Du Fu and Liao Yaoxiang learned that the strength of the Democratic Coalition was greatly damaged, and they boldly commanded the army to pursue all the way until they drove the main force of the Democratic Coalition to the north of Songhua River. " Liao Shen refused to shake hands with Han Xianchu after being captured in World War I, saying that he would come to Lin Biao to fight again. Liao Chu, Du and Pu Yi were imprisoned in Jinzhou Prison until 196 1 was pardoned and awarded the title of member. And those spy colleagues who were lurking around in the past, Liao still resented the past and glared at him, saying that he looked down on those who stole the chicken and stole the dog. China Barton, Liao Yaoxiang

1968 12. Mr. Liao Yaoxiang, a famous patriotic general against Japan and a member of the Fourth CPPCC, died of a heart attack in Beijing. At that time, the climax of the "Cultural Revolution" was slightly flat. Premier Zhou, who was busy with his work, heard about it, but still instructed his secretary to go to CPPCC to learn about the situation. However, the CPPCC compound is covered with posters and slogans, and no one goes to work at all. Liao's family had to keep the funeral simple. 1in may, 980, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council and CPPCC organized a memorial service and placed Liao Yaoxiang's urn in Babaoshan revolutionary cemetery, which publicly affirmed Liao Yaoxiang's historical achievements in the eight-year anti-Japanese war and made his widow, Ms. Huang borong (191/daughter of Huang Xing's niece Fang, the founding father of the country), and his son Liao. Liao died of a heart attack at the critical meeting in the early days of Wenge at the age of 62. Liao died not on the battlefield, nor at the hands of the Japanese, but at the hands of the revolutionary rebels. It is embarrassing that the rest of the life of a generation of anti-Japanese famous soldiers has been ruined in this way. Mrs Liao, Huang Xing's cousin, went to America on the eve of 1949. She has a son who is an engineer, and now he may retire to Taiwan Province Province. The separation was similar to Where Are You Going, and their family never met again. Fate really plays tricks on people. According to Huang Xing's second son Huang, on the eve of going to war, Liao took the driver and the adjutant to Suzhou by jeep to pick him up and go to Shanghai for reunion. His family wanted to go, but there were no seats.
