Personal experience

Deng Xiaoping, Zhang Yunyi, he long and Xiao Kejun were defeated by his subordinates

Li Jue (1900-1987), born in Yunnan, was named Yunbo. Also known as Shu Zhi. He graduated from Baoding Military Academy in 1924. Later, he joined the Hunan army and served as company commander. After 1930, he served as division commander of the 19th division of the National Revolutionary Army and director of the Security Department of Hunan Province.

Li Jue is an old subordinate of Tang Shengzhi, a warlord in Hunan Province, and also the eldest son-in-law of He Jian, President of Hunan Province. It is said that the third daughter of He Jian, the eldest daughter of He Mei, is a show in China and abroad. When he Jian married his daughter, the man rode and the woman sat in the "sedan chair"; in addition, the man's family sent a lot of betrothal gifts and the woman's family sent a lot of dowries, which made a sensation in Changsha, the provincial capital.

Deng Xiaoping and Zhang Yunyi were defeated by Li Jue in the plum blossom battle on February 3, 1931. At that time, Tang boyin regiment and Chen Longbu regiment, with Li Jue as division commander, arrived at Pingshi on January 31, that is, they joined forces with Deng Hui regiment, Tan regiment and Guo regiment of Guangdong army to fight against the red 7 army which was resting in Meihua. Defeated the red 7 army which was reorganized by Quanzhou. At that time, Deng Xiaoping was the Secretary and political member of the Military Commission of the 7th Red Army, Li Mingrui was the commander in chief, Zhang Yunyi was the commander in chief, and Gong Chu was the chief of staff.

Deng Xiaoping wrote in the report on the work of the seventh Army: as a result, after five hours of the fiercest fighting, we have to lose. The losses in this battle have never been seen before. Important cadres such as Li Qian and Zhang Jian were all killed, Hecun, Zhenwu and Li Xian were all injured, and more than half of the army's cadres were lost. It's really sad.

As for how Li Jue fought with he long and Xiao Ke, there is no good saying in the history books. According to the introduction of the memorial hall of Hunan Hubei Sichuan Guizhou revolutionary base area, in January 1935, the enemy attacked the base area, and Dayong, the main division of the Red Army, took a rest. In early February, the red army defeated Guo Rudong's column in Cili and was occupied by Li Jue in Dayong. The Red Army set up an ambush at jigongya, Houping, Dayong, and then defeated Li Jue's column. Guo Rudong's column took the opportunity to occupy Sangzhi. During the two months' anti encirclement and suppression campaign, the leaders of the 2nd and 6th regiments decided to move northward because they did not understand the operational principle of "carrying out mobile warfare, choosing enemy's weaknesses, and breaking through each other in the movement" instructed by the Central Military Commission.

In addition, during the long march of the Red Army, Li Jue's column also pursued and intercepted, went deep into Guizhou and Yunnan, and made many achievements.

Eight years of Anti Japanese War

During the Anti Japanese War, Li Jue served as commander-in-chief of the 70th army and commander-in-chief of the 25th group army of the Kuomintang. He took part in the "August 13" campaign, the Wuhan defense war and the Changsha battle, and was defeated repeatedly. According to Zhang Hongtao's "national war", it is recorded that:

In 1938, the battle between Shahe and jinguanqiao was tense and changeable, which was breathless. Major General Li Jue of the 70th garrison is under unprecedented pressure. There were two divisions in the 70th army, of which the 19th division was his trump card and his first army. In the battle of Songhu, the 19th division was one of the top 10 divisions of the Kuomintang army. After the war, Chiang Kai Shek assigned the 128th division to Li Jue and ordered him to form the 70th army. Who knows, the 128th division didn't win. Half a month ago, Jiujiang was on the verge of collapse. Gu Jiaqi, the division commander, was dismissed by Chiang Kai Shek, and his name was cancelled. As a result, Li Jue was carrying a false pretence of being a military commander, and he had only the 19th division in his hands. Fortunately, the 19th division did not disgrace him. Although the position had been blown up by the Japanese army, it was still firmly in control of the position for many days. During the battle, major general Zhuang Wenshu, commander of the 57th brigade, was wounded. Li Jue promoted Zhou Kunyuan, commander of the 114th regiment, to brigade commander, and Liu Yangsheng, deputy commander, to replace Zhou Kunyuan. At about 4 p.m., the main force of the 113 regiment and one of its attached brigade chariots were all put into the front of the 19th division and launched a new round of attack.

The battle on the front became white hot. Under the personal supervision of Dazuo Tanaka, the major, middle and small captains of the Japanese army pressed forward one after another, and the bright commanding knife deterred the "vendors" in Osaka. A large number of Japanese troops stepped on the corpses of their companions and poured into the breach. The position of the 57th brigade of the Chinese army was in urgent need for a time. Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhou Kunyuan, the new brigade commander, put all his eggs in one basket and took the only remaining guard company around him to fight back. The two sides launched a fierce melee. Tanaka Dazuo's reserve team has been used up, so he can only watch the attacking troops being beaten down. Anxious and angry, he slashed a flustered and retreating lieutenant. The position of the 19th division was restored again, and Li Jue breathed out as if he had been through a lot of difficulties. In this battle, the Japanese army abandoned hundreds of corpses, but the garrison also suffered heavy casualties. Five or six hundred garrisons from the first battalion were killed. Li Jue, looking at the fewer and fewer brothers, was not at ease, though he won again and again. He knew that if he fought so hard and fought so hard to defend the position passively, the position would not be defended in the end. After thinking about it, he sent a call for help to BINGTUAN for the first time.

On August 5, the reinforcements led by Tanaka once again pounced on the 19th division's jinguanqiao position and released a large amount of poisonous gas. The dull sound of explosion, mixed with light blue smoke, suddenly came to the defensive position like a ghost. The Chinese garrison was caught off guard, and more than a hundred people fell on the ground. The front position was in a state of chaos and danger. In the rear headquarters, Li Jue saw that the situation was not good, so he ordered the 114th regiment to withdraw from the rest to fight back against the front line and attack the enemy. In the battle, commander Liu was shot and killed. For a while, the officers and soldiers lost command, and their feet were loose. In addition, they were afraid of the poisonous gas, and finally failed in the counterattack. The Chinese army withdrew to the main position.

After several days of hard work, Tanaka Shengdao Dazuo finally won the front position of the 70th army. The commander of the division, lieutenant general Songpu, determined that the Chinese garrison was at the end of the storm. Without waiting for all the regiments to complete their recuperation and replenishment, he once again ordered all the units to take advantage of the victory to attack. Songpu golden official bridge blocked nearly a week, has been severely reprimanded several times by Gangcun commander. At this time, he was eager to expand the results and break the deadlock. The 19th division lost its forward position, but the ambush on several hills on its flank could effectively support the main position defense. When Li Jue learned that the reinforcements were coming, he also made some adjustments to the local forces, and almost all the reserves were transferred to the positions. In the main position of jinguanqiao, the fortifications are more complete, the personnel are more substantial, and the firepower is more intensive. Tanaka and chuanwa United's attack seemed to have hit a wall. The front was blocked. On the flank of tu'an mountain, the heavy machine guns and mortar shells of the 2nd Battalion of the 110th regiment of the 19th division rained down from the sky and landed in the Japanese formation. During the attack, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was defeated backward. Tanaka's holy way was defeated, and his anger turned to anger. After replenishing the troops, he drew out a brigade and a squadron of about 800 Japanese troops to attack tu'an mountain in order to remove the flanking threat. However, the threat of the 800 Japanese army's tu'an was not solved, but it was crushed on the hillside by mortars and heavy and heavy machine guns on the side of jiwo ridge. The Chinese army seems to be playing with the Japanese army. There are ambushes and firepower everywhere. When Tanaka Da zotton was at a loss, the Japanese soldiers were also shocked. 1 Japanese troops wrote down a * * in their diary: Mount Lu is the place of "China", and it is hard to see the true face of Mount Lu. "Hitherto unknown" * * "the Imperial Army" has been strongly resisted by the nineteenth divisions of the "elite" army of the "China" army. It has been fought unprecedentedly, and many of the squadron leaders and small captains have died. The fighting is still going on hard, and the hope of reunited with their families is slim. A few days later, the Japanese army also returned to Japan under gunfire. His diary became the best evidence to record the battle.

On August 6, under the repeated pressure of the head of the Songpu division, Dazuo Tanaka personally led his troops to attack the Chinese Army positions and was killed by the Chinese Army on the spot. There were few officers and men left in his regiment from Osaka, and the offensive came to a standstill. At the same time, the Chinese defenders in other positions also defeated the attacks of the Songpu division with tenacious defense and fierce counterattack. After more than 10 days of hard fighting in Songpu, one leader of the regiment was killed and two were injured, hundreds of officers were killed and thousands of soldiers were injured. They were blocked in front of the jinguanqiao position, but they never crossed a step.

After the battle of the Golden Bridge, thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers from Osaka suffered heavy losses. After several replenishments, there were only a few vendors and staff left in Osaka. However, from then on, Songpu did not have to be ashamed of the indecent nickname of "peddler's division".

Commander of the 19th division of the National Army

About the 19th division, according to the information on the Internet:

In the battle of Xiangxi, the 19th division of the army participated in the whole battle and won great honors. Before the Fourth Front Army hastily assembled to defend Furong mountain in wartime, it led the main force of the Japanese army into the existing encirclement of the national army; then it moved westward, pursued the 109th regiment fiercely, and made a camera counterattack to encircle and split the regiment, so that the follow-up friendly forces could indeed encircle the Japanese army. After a week of encirclement, it turned to the flank for rest, and was encountering the main force of the retreating 116th division The 9th division immediately pursued with the strength of the first division, and the soul of the Japanese army was shattered,
