Jiang Weiguo
194 1 March, Jiang Weiguo returned to Chungking after US military training and reported to the Military and Political Department for distribution. It is said that Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted Jiang Weiguo to go to the Air Force for development, but Jiang Weiguo insisted on starting at the grassroots level of the army. Chiang Kai-shek agreed to his choice and, after consideration, sent him to Hu Zongnan, Shaanxi for exercise.
194 1 may, he arrived in an by plane with the minister of military and political affairs, and served as the platoon leader of the fifth lieutenant of the second battalion, the third regiment, the first division of Hu bu. Resident in Chishui, Weinan, he was promoted to the company commander of the fifth company two months later. The troops moved from Chishui to Dongquandian, and then to defend the river near Tongguan, facing the Japanese army across the river. Once, a group of Japanese spies, armed with 12 mines, sneaked across the river and prepared to blow up the Tongguan railway tunnel. They were discovered by spies released by Jiang Weiguo, and all of them were captured alive. On another occasion, a group of Japanese soldiers on the north bank of Tongguan clamored in fenglingdu to disband the national army on the south bank of the Yellow River. At this time, it coincided with Jiang Weiguo's inspection of the border, so he picked up a machine gun and aimed at the Japanese soldiers on the other side. In an instant, five Japanese soldiers fell on the beach and the survivors fled in panic. At that time, the supply of frontline troops was always insufficient, and the Japanese army often shelled ethnic positions on the other side of the river. After each shelling, Jiang Weiguo asked the soldiers to collect shell fragments, which were good steel for forging farm tools and sold to the blacksmith shop to improve the company's food.
According to Hu Zongnan's adjutant and underground party member Xiong Xianghui before his death, General Hu appointed Xiong Xianghui to receive him and accompany him to Tongguan after he was handed over to Hu Zongnan. Jiang Weiguo received strict military training in Germany. He was very concerned about military discipline and had great personality. Tongguan folk custom, gathering in 369, is quite lively. If there is a rest day, many garrison soldiers also go to the market. When Jiang Weiguo goes to the market, he always takes an orderly with him and puts a big basket on his back. In the street, whenever a soldier doesn't salute, he goes up, takes off his hat and puts it in the basket. Tell people, "I'm Jiang Weiguo. On Sunday morning, you go to the third regiment, the second battalion and the fifth company to get your hat. " There are dozens of them every time. A soldier without a hat is disgraceful. On Sunday morning, they came to get their hats. Jiang Weiguo asked his orderlies to teach them to salute first, then stand at attention and be at ease, and finally give them their caps back. Jiang Weiguo this catch, Tongguan garrison, discipline is much better.
Although Jiang Weiguo was the second son of Chiang Kai-shek, he did have the ability to lead the army. Coupled with Hu Zongnan's deliberate practice, he rose to level 3 in one year and four months, which is really hard to get. A file of Jiang Weiguo, an important figure of the Republic of China, which has been preserved in Shaanxi for many years-Resume of Army Aviation Officers was first publicly displayed in xi Archives in June 2004. This is the only file kept by Jiang Weiguo in Shaanxi. This resume, written by Jiang Weiguo with a brush, is clear and neat, and the filling time is 65438+ 1.944, which records his military experience in Shaanxi. The column of "Work Experience" shows that Jiang Weiguo began to serve as the platoon leader of the second battalion of the third regiment of the first division in May 194 19, and was promoted to the platoon leader of the fifth battalion of the second battalion in June of the same year; In July of the same year 1, he was promoted to lieutenant company commander; In September of the same year, he was promoted to captain company commander; In September of the following year, he was promoted to captain and deputy battalion commander.
During his stay in Shaanxi, Jiang Weiguo was instructed by his father to accompany his younger brother Jiang Jingguo to secretly inspect the northwest region. On April 28th, 1942, Jiang Jingguo flew from Chengdu to Baoji and took the train to Xi 'an. After meeting with Jiang Weiguo, they went to Lanzhou, Liangzhou and Zhangye by bus, then to Jiuquan and then to Qinghai. In the second article "Literature and Art" of Gansu Provincial Local Literature Records, the reason for the Chiang brothers' inspection was recorded implicitly: "At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had considered moving the capital to Lanzhou to prepare for the deterioration of the situation, and he asked the Chiang brothers to inspect and evaluate various situations in Lanzhou." During this visit, the Chiang brothers not only had close contact with Ma Hongkui in Ningxia and Ma Bufang in Qinghai, but also made preliminary thoughts on the development and construction of northwest China, and put forward ideas such as planting trees and storing water, improving traffic, controlling sandstorms, revitalizing agriculture and developing education. Now it seems that they are all right and wise.
1In August, 944, Jiang Weiguo was transferred to Hanzhong, Shaanxi, and served as the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 6th16th Regiment of the 206th Division of the Youth Army. When Jiang Weiguo bid farewell to Xi 'an, the army instructed him to suspend his post in Hanzhong. As the staff officer of the new army captain, he went to Ramga, India with the "Senior General China's delegation to visit China" to coordinate the joint operations of China, Britain and the United States in India and Myanmar, and participated in the second training of the China chariot training course in India. Jiang Weiguo had received 10 months of training at the armored force training center in the United States, so he was familiar with this short training, and also helped the instructor to repair the "automatic balancer" of armored vehicles, which was praised by the American military instructors.
1June, 945, Jiang Weiguo officially reported to the 206th Division of Hanzhong Youth Army. The Youth Army is the main force of Jiang Jingguo, and many senior cadres later became Jiang Jingguo's ruling political team in Taiwan Province Province. The youth army is well paid and the living standard in Hanzhong is low. The daily food standard for soldiers is "rice 27 Liang (hexadecimal), salt 42 Liang, vegetable oil 62 Liang, fuel 24 Liang, a catty of vegetables, meat 124 Liang and beans 124 Liang". This standard exceeded the living standard of ordinary junior officers in the * * * army at that time.
It was midsummer when Jiang Weiguo went to Hanzhong. Hanzhong has dense aquatic plants, many mosquitoes and flies, and the sanitation of the military camp is very poor. Jiang Weiguo also suffers from dysentery, so a fly-killing campaign was launched. He ordered a batch of fly swatter and distributed it to every soldier, stipulating the task of handing in 10 flies every day. The fly-killing operation was very effective, and it was quickly extended from Camp 2 to other camps, and was followed up by the resident villagers, with good results.
Before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Weiguo received a broadcast from a foreign radio station and learned that Japan had surrendered unconditionally. At that time, mass communication was very closed and no one in Hanzhong knew about it. On the occasion of Jiang Weiguo's salary, he asked the camp administrative adjutant to bring all the money from the salary and the salary welfare agency, and asked his men to buy tobacco, alcohol, firecrackers and other food in Hanzhong Street for a short time. When everyone knows the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, sales will double. Not only will they celebrate eating and drinking without spending money, but each soldier will also get double salary.
/kloc-at the end of 0/945, Chiang Kai-shek promoted Jiang Weiguo from the deputy head of the Youth Army to the third division commander of the Armored Forces Department of the National Army according to his specialty and the development needs of the national army. From then on, Jiang Weiguo left Shaanxi, and his military career began a new period. (Source | Reader Author | Qin Jin)
