Thirty-five years ago today, on November 19, 1990 (October 3, 1990 lunar calendar), General Sun Liren, a famous anti-Japanese general, died in Taiwan. General Sun Liren On November 19, 1990, General Sun Liren passed away in his apartment in Taichung at the age of ninety. Sun Liren (1900-1990), a famous anti-Japanese general, with the character Zhong Lun, was from Lujiang, Anhui. He graduated from Tsinghua University and West Point Military Academy in the United States in his early years. During the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the Battle of Songhu on "January 28" and the Battle of Songhu on "August 13"; in 1943, he led an expedition to Burma to fight against Japanese invaders. Sun Liren made many achievements in the war against Japan, and the American consultant General Stilwell considered him the best Kuomintang general. At the beginning of the second Burma campaign, Sun Liren commanded the New 38th Division to pounce like a tiger down the mountain towards the Hukang River Valley. New Pingyang was captured on October 29, and the state was captured on December 29. When the Japanese prisoners were brought to Sun Liren, Sun Liren frowned in disgust and ordered the staff without thinking: "These bastards! You go and interrogate them. Anyone who has been to China will be shot on the spot, and they will do so in the future." The order was quickly carried out. The 18th Division of the Japanese Army had committed many crimes on the Chinese battlefield. Of course, these prisoners were covered in Chinese blood on their hands, and of course they were doomed.? Sun Liren, who led the 38th Division (New Army) in Ranga, India, received full American equipment and training, and his combat effectiveness was extremely strong. He later entered Burma to fight against the Japanese army. In the second Burmese War, which lasted two years, the New Army killed more than 33,000 Japanese leaders below the three joint captains, wounded more than 75,000 Japanese troops, and captured 323 captains below the captain. Captured 186 cannons, 67 chariots, 552 automobiles, and captured 646 miles of roads. The New Army suffered 17,000 casualties. No other Chinese military-level combat establishment can compare with the record of the New Army. In October 1937, Sun Liren led his troops to participate in the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai. He led the way in the resistance battle on the front line of Yunzaobang and was wounded 13 times. The following year, after recovering from his injuries, he led his troops to participate in the battle to defend Wuhan. He made two military achievements and has since made his mark in the military. After the Nationalist government moved the capital to Chongqing, the Ministry of Finance reorganized the Tax Police General Regiment. Sun Liren was promoted to the rank of major general general and led his troops to Duyun, Guizhou for training. After two years of rigorous training, this irregular force became one of the most elite units of the Kuomintang. In December 1941, the Tax Police General Regiment was reorganized into the New 38th Division, which belonged to the 66th Army, and Sun Liren served as the major general. General Sun Liren In February 1942, China formed an expeditionary force under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army and the 66th Army. In April, Sun Liren led the New 38th Division to arrive in Myanmar and participated in the Battle of Mandalay. On April 17, the 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Armored Brigade of the British Army on the Western Front were surrounded by the Japanese in Ren'an Qiang. The food and ammunition were exhausted, the water sources were cut off, and they were in a desperate situation. Sun Liren, on the order of Stilwell, led the 113th Regiment to the rescue of Starry Night, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese in the early morning of the 18th. By noon, he had conquered the Japanese positions, annihilated a brigade of the enemy, lifted the siege of 7,000 British troops, and rescued more than 500 British officers and soldiers, missionaries and journalists who had been captured by the Japanese. The Battle of Ren'an Qiang was the first victory of the Chinese Expeditionary Force after entering Burma. Sun Liren, with less than 1,000 troops, repelled an enemy several times his own and rescued nearly ten times his own friendly troops, which caused a sensation all over the world. After that, Chiang Kai-shek awarded him the 4th Class Yunhui Medal Roosevelt awarded him the medal of "Meritorious Service". King George VI of England awarded him the medal of "Commander of the Empire". Sun Liren was the first foreign general to receive such a medal. After the war in Anqiang, the New 38th Division covered the British retreat. In late April, the British army withdrew from Mandalay and continued to flee westward to India. Du Yuming, deputy commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, rejected the order of Stilwell, the chief of staff of the theater, to withdraw to India, and decided to lead the army north to Yunnan. Sun Liren was ordered to lead the New 38th Division to the rear of the Fifth Army. On May 9, Du Yuming saw that Mi Shina on the Yunnan-Burma Highway had been occupied by the Japanese army, and urgently ordered the troops to cross the Savage Mountain to the northwest to return to Yunnan, and asked the New 38th Division to continue the rear. Sun Liren immediately objected, believing that it was a long way to bypass Michijna through the Savage Mountain, and the road was difficult, uninhabited, and difficult to provide supplies. At present, the expeditionary force still has four divisions, so it is better to concentrate the troops, take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, retake Michijna, and return home along the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Du Yuming did not listen. Sun Liren refused to obey Du's orders, and followed the orders of Stilwell and Commander Luo Zhuoying, and led the new 38th Division to retreat westward to India. During the retreat, he personally raised a submachine gun and led the soldiers to charge into the battle, defeating the Japanese army many times. Not only did the troops not lose their equipment, but they also took in thousands of refugees and British and Indian skirmishers.? At the end of May, Sun Liren led the new 38th Division to the Indian border. Unexpectedly, the British border guards in India actually asked the Chinese army to disarm and enter India as refugees. Sun Liren saw that the British were ungrateful and turned his face against him. He was immediately filled with anger and ordered his troops to prepare for battle. Coincidentally, the commander of the British First Division, who had been rescued by the New 38th Division in Ren Anqiang, was being treated in the hospital there. After hearing the situation, he warned the local British generals: "This Chinese army can fight. If you don't believe me, go and see it!" The British generals came to the camp of the New 38th Division with doubts. Sun Liren pulled out an honor guard and greeted them at the gate of the camp. 200 strong soldiers stood at the gate of the camp, which was a wall. The soldiers' uniforms were a little broken, but the guns were sharp, and they were a little short, but they were full of energy. In front of the honor guard, there were two small steel cannons and four heavy machine guns. The British general was greatly surprised. He had seen the British army who had retreated from Burma. In order to protect their lives, not to mention the guns, they even threw away their clothes and pants, and ran back with only a pair of underpants. It was incredible that the Chinese soldiers had to carry both the steel cannons and the heavy machine guns. The British general asked how the Chinese machine gunners carried the heavy machines over? The Chinese soldier stood at attention and replied loudly: "Weapons are our life. People are in weapons." After listening, the British man understood the truth: weapons are the life of the Chinese soldier. Can you agree to surrender his guns? Sun Liren then led the British to visit the barracks and arranged a military performance. The next day, the new 38th Division marched neatly into India. The British honor guard lined up to play music and fired ten cannons in welcome. In August 1942, the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had arrived in India successively, entered the Ramja training base in India, and the designation was changed to the Chinese Army in India. Equipment and training began. In October, the Chinese Army in India was reorganized into the New Army, with Zheng Dongguo as the commander, under the jurisdiction of Sun Liren's New 38th Division and Liao Yaoxiang's New 22nd Division. In October 1943, the Chinese Army in India began a large-scale counterattack on northern Myanmar. At the beginning of the second Burmese campaign, Sun Liren commanded the New 38th Division to pounce on the Hukang Valley like a tiger down the mountain. New Pingyang was captured on October 29, and the state was captured on December 29. When the Japanese prisoners were brought to Sun Liren, Sun Liren frowned in disgust and ordered the staff without hesitation: "These bastards! You go and interrogate them. Anyone who has been to China will be shot on the spot, and they will do so in the future." The order was quickly carried out. The 18th Division of the Japanese Army had committed many crimes on the Chinese battlefield, and these prisoners had Chinese blood on their hands. Of course, they were doomed.? After the occupation of the state, Sun Liren's offensive continued unabated. He captured Taibaijia on February 1, 1944, and attacked Mengguan with Liao Yaoxiang's New 22nd Division on March 4. On March 9, Sun's 113th Regiment joined forces with the US commandos to capture Waruban. The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, known as the "King of Jungle Operations", was killed and wounded more than half and escaped from the Hukang Valley in embarrassment. According to the records of the Japanese war history: "The 18th Division, which was compiled in Kyushu and moved to China, was the most confident in fighting the Chinese army. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army in the Hukang Valley, whether it is its establishment, equipment, tactics, or technology, has completely changed its appearance,... causing heavy losses to our army... The whole army can't help but be stunned." After the Indian army captured the Hukang Valley, they attacked the Menggong Valley on March 14 with victory. The 113th Regiment of the New 38th Division crossed the mountains from the left flank to the back of Mount Campo, and the New 22nd Division attacked from both sides. On the 29th, they captured the natural danger of Mount Campo and buckled open the gate of the Menggong Valley. On April 24, according to Stilwell's plan, the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division attacked Menggong and Kamai respectively. In late May, Sun Liren learned from captured Japanese letters that the main force of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was surrounded by the New 22nd Division at Sokha Road, and the troops in Kamai were extremely empty. The division commander, Shinichi Tanaka, sat in the empty city and was terrified. Sun Liren saw the opportunity and did not stick to the original plan. He secretly crossed the Nangao River with the 112th Regiment and swerved to the west on the south side of Kamai, cutting off the back road of the Japanese army in Kamai; the 113th Regiment advanced westward to Kamai; the 114th Regiment went southward to carry out a large-depth interspersed with Menggong. On June 16, the 113th Regiment joined the New 22nd Division in Kamai, and the commander of the 18th Division, Tanaka Shinichi, led more than 1,500 remnants to flee south in a hurry. On June 25, the 114th Regiment of Sun's Division captured Menggong. On August 3, the Sino-US coalition forces overcame Shina. At this point, the first phase of the counter-attack against northern Myanmar ended. The Chinese Army in India dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese ace 18th Division and other departments, annihilating more than 20,000 Japanese troops. In a flash of humiliation, it defeated Burma two years ago. Stilwell called this battle "the first sustained offensive against a first-class enemy in Chinese history". After the Chinese Army in India captured Mi Shina, the troops were rested and expanded, and the New Army was expanded into two armies, namely the New First Army and the New Sixth Army. Sun Liren served as the commander of the New Army, under the jurisdiction of the New 38th and New 30th Divisions (after Liao Yaoxiang's New Sixth Army returned to reinforce the domestic anti-Japanese war, its fifty divisions were incorporated into the New Army).? In October 1944, the second phase of the counter-offensive against northern Myanmar began. The Chinese army in India continued to attack southward from Shina and Menggong. Sun Liren led the New Army as the east road, along the road from Shina to Bamo to attack southward, and successively captured Bhamo and Nankan. On January 27, 1945, the New Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Western Yunnan jointly captured Mangyou in China and opened up the Burma-Burma Highway. Subsequently, Sun Liren commanded the divisions of the New Army to continue to advance. On March 8, Lashio was captured, on March 23, Nantu was captured, on March 24, and on the 27th, Mengyan was captured, successfully ending the second Burma campaign. Sun Liren and his new 38th Division and the New First Army, in the expedition to Burma and the battle against the Japanese invaders in coordination with the Allied forces, fought from east to west, and Dieck's powerful enemy made many achievements. His tactics and displayed combat strength were fully affirmed and highly praised by all parties at home and abroad. At that time, the international public opinion circle praised Sun Liren as the "Rommel of the East".?? In July 1945, Sun Liren led the new army back to Nanning, Guangxi, preparing to counterattack Guangzhou. In the same month, at the invitation of Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the European Allied Forces, Sun Liren went to Europe to inspect the European battlefield. On August 15, the Japanese invaders surrendered. On September 7, Sun Liren led his army into Guangzhou and accepted the surrender of the Japanese 23rd Army. Afterwards, the New Army was repaired and expanded, and became one of the five main forces of the national army, known as the "First Army in the World". In October, the United States asked China to send an army of 50,000 men to assist the Allied occupation of Japan, and especially hoped to send Sun Liren's new army. However, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to send the new army to the northeast to fight civil war and did not want to occupy Japan. In January 1946, Sun Liren went to the United States to attend the United Nations Chiefs of Staff meeting. In late March, the new army landed on Qinhuangdao on American ships. In early April, the new army and the 71st Army, under the command of Liang Huasheng, attacked Siping. On April 8, the "First Army of the World" suffered heavy losses for the first time. Its new 38th Division was ambushed by the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army led by Lin Biao in the Xinglongquan area north of Changtu, and more than 1,200 people were annihilated. On April 17, under the command of Zheng Dongguo, the new army captured the areas east and south of Siping. On the 18th, the new army attacked Siping City and fought fiercely for 9 days. It could not be attacked for a long time, and was forced to turn to defense on the 26th. On May 15, Chiang Kai-shek called Sun Liren, who was meeting in the United States, back to China, and at the same time increased the strength of 10 divisions to besiege Siping. On the night of the 18th, Sun Liren rushed to the front line to re-command the new army. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to himself, Lin Biao led his troops to quietly withdraw from Si On the early morning of the 19th, Sun Liren personally drove a tank and rushed into the urban area first, but unexpectedly he occupied an empty city. In August 1946, Sun Liren was appointed as the deputy commander of the Northeast Pacification Army and the commander of the new army and the commander of the Changchun police, leading his troops to defend the points north of Changchun and south of the Songhua River. In January 1947, Lin Biao led 12 divisions across the Songhua River and launched the "Jiangnan" offensive. During the battle of his tower wood, Sun Liren was rescued by Lin Biao and ate 2 regiments in one go. He was so angry that he scolded Du Yuming for being incompetent in command and scattered his troops everywhere, resulting in Lin Biao being able to defeat each. In February, during Lin Biao's "Second Jiangnan" offensive, Sun Liren lost another entire regiment. Sun Liren and his new army have no more glorious legends since they left the customs. The Northeast Democratic Alliance made up a jingle: "Eat vegetables and love cabbage hearts, and fight against the new army". "The new army calls itself an eagle, but it is actually a bear. It acts like a tortoise, and fights like a reptile." The officers and men of the new army were quite unconvinced. After being captured, Sun Weimin, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 113th Regiment, threatened: "Our military base, General Sun Liren, said that the new army only wins wars and does not lose wars. Your commander-in-chief, General Lin Biao, is too dishonest and fights secretly. Why don't we set up a battle and try to fight a dozen again."?? Chiang Kai-shek was greatly dissatisfied with Sun Liren's lack of achievements in the Northeast. In April 1947, Chiang Kai-shek promoted him to the post of deputy commander of the Northeast Security Command, and his new army commander was succeeded by Pan Yukun, the commander of the 50th Division from Huangpu. In August of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Sun Liren from the Northeast to serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the army and commander of the army training department. In November, Sun Liren moved the army training department to Taiwan and transferred hundreds of his close friends in the tax police regiment and during the fighting in Burma from the new army to Taiwan to train new recruits. In October 1948, Sun Liren's hard-working new army, which had been working hard for several years and had relied on it for a start, was annihilated by Lin Biao's Northeast Field Army in the Battle of Western Liaoning with the Liao Yaoxiang Corps.?? In August 1949, Sun Liren served as the deputy commander of the Southeast Military and Political Affairs Office of the Kuomintang and the commander of Taiwan's defense. In March 1950, he served as the army commander and security commander of the Kuomintang government in Taiwan. In May 1951, he was promoted to the rank of second-class army general. Due to discord with Chiang Ching-kuo, he was removed from the army commander's post by Chiang Kai-shek in June 1954 and appointed as the commander of the "Presidential Palace". In June 1955, the Taiwan Kuomintang authorities implemented custody and investigation training on Sun Liren on the grounds that Sun Liren and his subordinate Major Guo Tingliang planned a mutiny. On October 31, 1955, Sun Liren was removed from the post of commander of the "Presidential Palace" and placed under house arrest in Taichung until his freedom was restored in March 1988. Sun Liren and his wife Zhang Jingying, who were restored to freedom in 1988, lived in their apartment on Shanglu Road, Taichung CityThirty-five years ago today, on November 19, 1990 (October 3, 1990 lunar calendar), General Sun Liren, a famous anti-Japanese general, died in Taiwan.

His tactics and displayed combat strength were fully affirmed and highly praised by all parties at home and abroad. At that time, the international public opinion circle praised Sun Liren as the "Rommel of the East".?? In July 1945, Sun Liren led the new army back to Nanning, Guangxi, preparing to counterattack Guangzhou. In the same month, at the invitation of Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the European Allied Forces, Sun Liren went to Europe to inspect the European battlefield. On August 15, the Japanese invaders surrendered. On September 7, Sun Liren led his army into Guangzhou and accepted the surrender of the Japanese 23rd Army. Afterwards, the New Army was repaired and expanded, and became one of the five main forces of the national army, known as the "First Army in the World". In October, the United States asked China to send an army of 50,000 men to assist the Allied occupation of Japan, and especially hoped to send Sun Liren's new army. However, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to send the new army to the northeast to fight civil war and did not want to occupy Japan. In January 1946, Sun Liren went to the United States to attend the United Nations Chiefs of Staff meeting. In late March, the new army landed on Qinhuangdao on American ships. In early April, the new army and the 71st Army, under the command of Liang Huasheng, attacked Siping. On April 8, the "First Army of the World" suffered heavy losses for the first time. Its new 38th Division was ambushed by the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army led by Lin Biao in the Xinglongquan area north of Changtu, and more than 1,200 people were annihilated. On April 17, under the command of Zheng Dongguo, the new army captured the areas east and south of Siping. On the 18th, the new army attacked Siping City and fought fiercely for 9 days. It could not be attacked for a long time, and was forced to turn to defense on the 26th. On May 15, Chiang Kai-shek called Sun Liren, who was meeting in the United States, back to China, and at the same time increased the strength of 10 divisions to besiege Siping. On the night of the 18th, Sun Liren rushed to the front line to re-command the new army. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to himself, Lin Biao led his troops to quietly withdraw from Si On the early morning of the 19th, Sun Liren personally drove a tank and rushed into the urban area first, but unexpectedly he occupied an empty city. In August 1946, Sun Liren was appointed as the deputy commander of the Northeast Pacification Army and the commander of the new army and the commander of the Changchun police, leading his troops to defend the points north of Changchun and south of the Songhua River. In January 1947, Lin Biao led 12 divisions across the Songhua River and launched the "Jiangnan" offensive. During the battle of his tower wood, Sun Liren was rescued by Lin Biao and ate 2 regiments in one go. He was so angry that he scolded Du Yuming for being incompetent in command and scattered his troops everywhere, resulting in Lin Biao being able to defeat each. In February, during Lin Biao's "Second Jiangnan" offensive, Sun Liren lost another entire regiment. Sun Liren and his new army have no more glorious legends since they left the customs. The Northeast Democratic Alliance made up a jingle: "Eat vegetables and love cabbage hearts, and fight against the new army". "The new army calls itself an eagle, but it is actually a bear. It acts like a tortoise, and fights like a reptile." The officers and men of the new army were quite unconvinced. After being captured, Sun Weimin, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 113th Regiment, threatened: "Our military base, General Sun Liren, said that the new army only wins wars and does not lose wars. Your commander-in-chief, General Lin Biao, is too dishonest and fights secretly. Why don't we set up a battle and try to fight a dozen again."?? Chiang Kai-shek was greatly dissatisfied with Sun Liren's lack of achievements in the Northeast. In April 1947, Chiang Kai-shek promoted him to the post of deputy commander of the Northeast Security Command, and his new army commander was succeeded by Pan Yukun, the commander of the 50th Division from Huangpu. In August of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Sun Liren from the Northeast to serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the army and commander of the army training department. In November, Sun Liren moved the army training department to Taiwan and transferred hundreds of his close friends in the tax police regiment and during the fighting in Burma from the new army to Taiwan to train new recruits. In October 1948, Sun Liren's hard-working new army, which had been working hard for several years and had relied on it for a start, was annihilated by Lin Biao's Northeast Field Army in the Battle of Western Liaoning with the Liao Yaoxiang Corps.?? In August 1949, Sun Liren served as the deputy commander of the Southeast Military and Political Affairs Office of the Kuomintang and the commander of Taiwan's defense. In March 1950, he served as the army commander and security commander of the Kuomintang government in Taiwan. In May 1951, he was promoted to the rank of second-class army general. Due to discord with Chiang Ching-kuo, he was removed from the army commander's post by Chiang Kai-shek in June 1954 and appointed as the commander of the "Presidential Palace". In June 1955, the Taiwan Kuomintang authorities implemented custody and investigation training on Sun Liren on the grounds that Sun Liren and his subordinate Major Guo Tingliang planned a mutiny. On October 31, 1955, Sun Liren was removed from the post of commander of the "Presidential Palace" and placed under house arrest in Taichung until his freedom was restored in March 1988. Sun Liren and his wife Zhang Jingying, who were restored to freedom in 1988, lived in their apartment on Shanglu Road, Taichung City
