Huang Xiansheng

Huang Xiansheng (1896 ~ November 27, 1949), male, Han nationality, from shimiaozi Town, Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, was admitted to the liberal arts tutorial class of Peking University in 1918. He was an active participant in the May 4th movement. After the May 4th movement, he was determined to join the army. In 1921, he was admitted to the third artillery section of the Northeast Army Academy.

In the spring of 1930, Zhang Xueliang was promoted to director of Liaoning police and director of Shenyang Public Security Bureau. After the September 18th Incident, Huang Xiansheng resolutely joined the Anti Japanese War and was one of the founders of the Northeast volunteer army. Huang Xiansheng was the first senior general of the Northeast Army to accept the leadership of the party, and secretly joined the Communist Party of China in August 1936. After the Xi'an Incident, he was detained by Chiang Kai Shek's national government.

On November 27, 1949, he was killed by KMT agents in baigongguan prison, Chongqing.

Military career

In 1918, he was admitted to the liberal arts tutorial class of Peking University and was an active participant in the May 4th movement. After the May 4th movement, he decided to join the army and was admitted to the third artillery division of the Northeast Army Academy in 1921. He graduated with excellent results the next year and served in the Northeast Army. He is strict in military management and has great courage and insight. He is deeply trusted by Zhang Xueliang and has been promoted again and again.

In 1928, he served as the commander of the first brigade (i.e. the guard brigade), responsible for Shenyang security, protecting Zhang's safety. In the struggle with the pro Japanese faction, he firmly stood on Zhang Xueliang's side and had a certain influence on Zhang with his distinctive patriotism.

In 1930, he served as the director of Liaoning provincial police and the director of Shenyang Public Security Bureau. He vigorously rectified the social order and carried out the activities of banning smoking and gambling.

On the eve of the September 18th Incident in 1931, he made great efforts to collect intelligence, reflect on it and ask for countermeasures. However, due to Chiang Kai Shek's irresistible secret orders, he could not do anything. After the outbreak of the September 18th Incident, he led all branches and teams of the public security bureau to fight against the Japanese army tenaciously. Until he was really unable to resist, he ordered to withdraw from Shenyang. Later, he took the police force of the whole province as the backbone and organized a volunteer army to fight against Japan: he moved to the South and west of Liaoning Province to fight against the arrogance of the Japanese puppet army. In the autumn of 1932, his troops were reorganized into the second cavalry division.

At the beginning of the Great Wall Anti Japanese war in 1933, he led his troops out to meet the enemy and attacked the Japanese invaders in the area of baimaguan. Later, because of the supervision and coercion of the 25th division of the Kuomintang, he had to withdraw. The harsh reality made him gradually realize that the Communist Party was sincere in resisting Japan. Therefore, he contacted with the North Bureau of the Communist Party of China through his secretary, Liu LANBO, and sent a large number of Communists to work in the second division of Qiqi, where he established the party organization of the Communist Party of China. After a period of consolidation, the political outlook of the second Qi division changed greatly, and the atmosphere of Anti Japanese was very strong. He was also supported by the vast number of officers and soldiers and hated by the Chiang Kai Shek group because of his patriotic enthusiasm and progressive thought. In order to divide the Northeast Army, Chiang Kai Shek used to lure him with high officials and high salary, but he refused. Later, he announced that he would send the Northeast Army to the south to join in "suppressing the Communist Party". He united with the generals of the Northeast Army and refused to obey orders, thus defeating Chiang Kai Shek's plot.

In the summer of 1935, Zhang Xueliang became deputy commander of the "Northwest suppression general" and vice commander of the cavalry army. However, he repeatedly urged Zhang Jin not to fall for Chiang Kai Shek's policy of "killing two birds with one stone", to unite the Communist Party against Japan, and refused to carry out the order of "suppressing the Communist Party". His cavalry army became the only one in the Northeast Army stationed in the northwest without any friction with the Red Army.

In 1936, Zhang Xueliang established an officer training regiment in Xi'an to train the backbone of the Anti Japanese War, and he was appointed the chief educator.

In the winter of 1936, he was appointed by Zhang to Hebei Province as deputy commander of the 53rd army and division commander of the 119th division. After he took office, he supported and helped the 116 division, such as LV Zhengcao, to become the backbone of the Anti Japanese army. At the same time, a number of corrupt elements were removed and a number of patriotic students in exile and progressive young people were recruited to take part in military work. After the Xi'an Incident, he expressed his firm support and made preparations for it. Even after Zhang Xueliang was detained, he did not waver in his determination to resist Japan and save the nation.

After the July 7th incident in 1937, he resolutely pulled out his own troops and fought fiercely with the Japanese aggressors on the front line of Zhanghe, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army. When he was preparing to fight again, he received an invitation from Zhou Enlai and went to Wuhan alone to discuss his plans. After arriving in Wuhan, he spared no effort in the work of the Anti Japanese United Front, calling for the rescue of General Zhang. When he realized that this was futile, he turned to actively participate in revolutionary activities. He once sent the party's materials from Hong Kong and the weapons he kept in Xi'an and the May 3rd army to Yan'an again and again, and organized the progressive youth and old subordinates from Northeast China to study in Yan'an.

Struggle in prison

In the spring of 1938, encouraged and invited by Zhou Enlai, he was ready to go to Yan'an to participate in the leadership of the Anti Japanese university. On the eve of his decision to leave Wuhan, Kuomintang agents secretly arrested him. The secret service tried him for many times, trying to find more materials from him, in order to weave the so-called charges of "uniting with the Communist Party" and "contacting the Northeast Army to resist the central government", but all of them were severely refuted by him. He was detained in Wuhan inspection office, Yiyang, Hunan, Xifeng, Guizhou, and finally was escorted to the detention house of Bai mansion of Chongqing Sino US cooperation Institute, which greatly damaged his body and spirit. But he would rather die than surrender, and often said to his friends in prison: we should "keep the tiger in the cage." In prison, no matter how hard the conditions are, he always tries his best to do more beneficial things for his friends and comrades, and firmly believes that the cause of people's Liberation led by the Communist Party of China will surely win. The party organization has always trusted him very much. The underground party organization of baigongguan once instructed Chen Ran to contact him and get the news from the newspaper from him. Taking this as the information source, it set up baigongguan's edition of advance newspaper. On the afternoon of November 27, 1949, he was killed by a handgun near Buyun bridge, about half a mile from baigongguan. His body was buried in Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing.
