Li Pinxian

Li Pinxian (April 22, 1890 - March 23, 1987), born in Cangwu, Guangxi, graduated from Baoding military academy and was promoted from platoon commander to military commander by his old classmate Tang Shengzhi. After Tang Shengzhi's defeat and collapse, he took refuge in the GUI family and steadily increased his academic relationship with Bai Chongxi. During the Anti Japanese War, he served as the commander of the 11th group army. After Huang Shaohong left and Liao Lei died, he ranked just below Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in the GUI clan. Li had a good command of the army, especially the 188 and 189 model divisions during the Anti Japanese war.

He once served as commander of the 10th war zone and chairman of Anhui provincial government. After he went to Taiwan, he served as a neighborhood commander. He died in 1987.

Life of the characters

Early experience

On May 14, 1890, Li Pinxian was born into a distinguished family in Pingle Township, Cangwu County, Guangxi. Since he was a child, Li Pinxian has been infused with "four books" and "Five Classics" by his father. He has lost poetry and prose fiercely and has a solid foundation. He was admitted to Cangwu County primary school at the age of 13. In the same year, he took part in the imperial examination, but the county examination and the government examination failed to stop him. He passed the examination all the way, but when he went to the hospital examination, he missed a page of the examination paper, which led to the destruction of his official career.

be drafted

In 1907, Cai E founded Guangxi Army primary school in Guilin to recruit young people over the age of 16. Li Pinxian convinced his family to apply for the exam and passed the exam smoothly. From then on, he began his military career.

In the spring of 1909, Li Pinxian graduated from the first phase of Guangxi Army primary school and was promoted to Hubei No.3 army middle school.

On the eve of graduation in October 1911, he took part in the famous Wuchang Uprising. Then, he was sent back to Guangxi to respond to the uprising. However, when Li Pinxian returned to Guangxi, Guangxi responded to the uprising and declared independence, and sent troops to assist Hubei. Lu Rongting, acting governor of Guangxi military government, sent Li Pinxian to Wuzhou military and political branch under Mo Rong, a novice, to serve as a member of Wuzhou ordnance Bureau.

In January 1913, he went to Baoding military academy to study.

Follow Tang Shengzhi

At the end of 1914, Li Pinxian graduated from Baoding military academy and was assigned to the first regiment of the first division of the Guangxi army. Li graduated nearly two years, did not teach real work, dissatisfied with the heart. In June of the same year, he was transferred to the Xiang army and served as a lieutenant platoon leader in the independent battalion of the Xiang army. Soon, the company was incorporated into the guard battalion of the governor's Department, and the battalion commander Tang Shengzhi was a classmate of his Baoding military academy. After that, Li Pinxian followed Tang Shengzhi closely and made many achievements in the war of protecting the law, the war of Hunan and the war of protecting the constitution. When Tang Shengzhi was promoted once, Li Pinxian added an extra star bean to his shoulder. In 1924, in just eight years, he was promoted from platoon, company, battalion and regiment commander to brigade commander in turn.

In June 1926, Tang Shengzhi was appointed commander of the 8th Army and commander in chief of the former enemy of the National Revolutionary Army, and Li Pinxian was promoted to commander of the 3rd Division of the 8th Army. On July 10, Li Pinxian led the main force of the third division to conquer Changsha together with friendly forces. During this period, Li Pinxian joined the Chinese Kuomintang. After that, Tang Shengzhi commanded the fourth, seventh and eighth armies of the northern expedition to clear the enemy troops north of the Miluo River. Li led his troops to conquer yanglousi, then entered Hanyang, crossed the Han River to occupy Hankou, and took advantage of the victory to pursue the remnant of Wu Peifu to the border of Henan and Hubei. On September 18, he conquered Jigong Mountain, a strategic place in Henan Province. Sun Chuanfang, commander-in-chief of the "five province coalition forces", ordered Chen Tiaoyuan's troops to enter Eastern Hubei. Li Pinxian was ordered to command troops from the border of Henan and Hubei to block in Eastern Hubei. He successively defeated Guangji and Huangmei, and defeated sun Chuanfang's attempt to help Wu Peizheng.

In April 1927, Li Pinxian was promoted to commander of the Eighth Army.

Li Pinxian followed Tang Shengzhi from the summer of 1916 to April of 1927, less than 11 years. It's really a great success to be promoted from an intern to a military commander. However, it's necessary to say that it's thanks to his solid foundation and repeated military achievements. More importantly, it's thanks to his old classmate Tang Shengzhi. It can also be said that the times have made heroes.

Secret Communist Party of China

On June 27, 1927, Wang Jingwei secretly issued the order of "the Communist Party of Qing Dynasty" to the Wuhan garrison headquarters. Li Pinxian was ordered to immediately command the military and police personnel to search for Communists, seal up the organs of the Communist Party of China, dissolve the Hankou Federation of trade unions and the farmers' Association, take over the weapons of the picket team of the Hubei Federation of trade unions, and concentrate the supervision of the former Soviet Union advisers for deportation. Li Pinxian connived his subordinates to massacre the Communist Party and workers and peasants in Wuhan, creating white terror.

Accept the adaptation

After Chiang Kai Shek and Wang Jingwei successively fought against the Communist Party, the contradiction between Ning and Han was not solved. In late July, Tang Shengzhi launched an eastward expedition, while Ning ordered Li Zongren to fight westward. On October 20, the Nanjing government ordered a crusade against Tang Shengzhi and removed him from his post. The internal division of the Tang army led to the enemy's attack. Tang Shengzhi was forced to go to Japan by power. In February 1928, Tang Shengzhi's former headquarters, such as Li Pinxian, were besieged by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's new Guixi clique. They telegraphed that they were willing to accept the reorganization of Nanjing government and take refuge in Guixi clique.

In February 1928, Jiang, Feng, Yan and GUI decided to go north to attack Feng and reorganize their headquarters into four army groups. On April 5, Li Pinxian took the post of commander-in-chief of the 12th Route Army and commander of the 8th Army, and led his troops to remove the remnant of Zhilu army at the Luanhe front.

At the end of March 1929, the Jiang GUI war broke out. Jiang Zhongzheng is using Tang Shengzhi again and sending him to Tangshan with a large sum of money to fight for the old Hunan army, which was reorganized by the New Gui Clique. Li Pinxian's junior and middle-level officers in the 12th Route Army are all the children of Sanxiang promoted by Tang Shengzhi. Under Tang Shengzhi's call to "leave Guangxi and go back to Hunan", he immediately readily responded. Li Pinxian and others issued a telegram to denounce Bai Chongxi, support Jiang Zhongzheng, and lead the Ministry to return to Tang Shengzhi. Tang reorganized the 12th Route Army into the 5th Route Army and appointed Li Pinxian as the deputy commander and commander of the 8th Army. In early December of that year, Tang Shengzhi echoed Shi Yousan of Feng Yuxiang's department in Zhengzhou and sent a telegram to fight against Jiang. He was defeated by the Allied forces of Jiang Zhongzheng and Yan Xishan. The 8th Army was disarmed and the soldiers were taken in and dispersed by the central army. At this time, Li Pinxian had become an unarmed general and had to leave Hong Kong.

Central Plains war

In 1930, the Central Plains war broke out, and Li Pinxian, who was operating a farm in Hong Kong, made a comeback. At the invitation of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, he took the post of Hunan rehabilitation supervisor, dealing with all the affairs in the rear area of Hunan, in order to support the northern movement of the GUI clan. However, less than half a month after Li Pinxian took office, the war situation changed and the GUI clan was defeated. Li Zongxian, the fourth chief of staff of Guangxi Chongxian group, returned to the headquarters.

At the end of 1930, he became the president of Nanning military academy. Because Li Pinxian once betrayed Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi plotted against the past and removed the post of president of Li Pinxian military academy. He asked Li Pinxian to serve as Guangxi border flood control supervisor, Zuojiang district administrative supervisor and Longzhou district civilian regiment commander in Longzhou. He sat on the bench for three years.

In the summer of 1935, due to the death of Ye Qi, chief of staff of the headquarters, Li Pinxian was transferred back to Nanning as chief of staff of the headquarters.

In 1936, he was promoted to general.

Anti Japanese Period

On July 7, 1937, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, which opened the prelude of China's comprehensive anti Japanese war. General Li Pinxian was appointed commander-in-chief of the 11th group army, under the jurisdiction of the 7th, 31st and 48th army. In the middle of September, the 48th army, led by commander Wei Yunsong, set out for the battle of Songhu and took part in the battle to defend Shanghai. In early October, Li Pinxian inspected the 7th and 31st army in Guilin. In November, he was promoted to deputy commander of the fifth theater of war and also commander-in-chief of the 11th group army, assisting Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in the strategic deployment of the Xuzhou battle.

In January 1938, Li Pinxian was ordered to lead his troops to garrison in Shouxian County, Anhui Province. There is a tomb of King Huai of Chu near tianjia'an in Shouxian county. The news of Li Pinxian's tomb robbery was soon reported to Song Meiling. Chiang Kai Shek immediately ordered Dai Li to investigate the matter. With the help of money, the matter is settled. But he also left a lasting name.

From March to April 1938, Li Pinxian ordered the 31st army to attack the Japanese aggressors in the southern section of Jinpu Road, cut the southern section of Jinpu road into several sections, and besieged and annihilated the isolated enemy. The Japanese aggressors have lost more than 2000 troops and more than 100 chariots in their northward March. Because Li Pinxian held back the Japanese invaders in the front battlefield in the south section of Jinpu Road, and delayed the plan of the Japanese invaders to attack Xuzhou from north to south, which created favorable conditions for Li Zongren to concentrate the main force of the fifth theater to encircle and annihilate the Japanese invaders in Tainan Taierzhuang area, and achieved a great victory of annihilating more than 10000 main forces of Fangu and banyuan, the elite troops in North China of Japan.

In late June 1938, Li Pinxian was appointed commander of the fourth corps of Wuhan defense army, under the jurisdiction of 6 armies, 14 divisions and 1 Brigade (Wang Zejun, 44th army; Xu shaozong, 67th army; Zhang Yichun, 48th army; Qin Lianfang, 84th army; Liu Ruming, 68th army; he Zhizhong, 86th Army), responsible for the defense of Dabie Mountain and its south area. After he took office, he personally led a group of guards to inspect Huangmei front line regardless of enemy aircraft bombing. On the way, his car was bombed by Japanese aircraft. Fortunately, he got out of the car one step ahead of time to escape.

In April 1939, the Japanese army gathered four divisions and a cavalry brigade to fight with jujube. Li Pinxian assisted Li Zongren to take part in the specific command of the campaign and personally led the three armies of the left wing group to defend Tongbai mountain and Dahong mountain. On May 7, the Japanese army fell into Zaoyang, and then divided troops to attack Xinye, Tanghe and Nanyang. The fifth theater, taking advantage of the interruption of Japanese rear supply, made a full counterattack, annihilated more than 30000 enemy troops, and forced the Japanese army to retreat. In this campaign, Li Pinxian commanded the troops defending Tongbai mountain and Dahong mountain and cut off the enemy's rear contact line from the north and south. After the war, in recognition of Li Pinxian's achievements in the SuiZao campaign, the central command of the Kuomintang awarded a Gancheng medal as a reward.
