Huang's ancestors worked in agriculture for generations, but his father was forced to go to Indonesia to make a living, while his mother lived in China. Huang Qixiang studied in a rural school when he was a child. In 191, he studied in Meixian No.5 Middle School founded by his uncle Huang Xun, and later entered the middle school attached to Guangzhou Excellent Normal School. Since 1912, Huang Qixiang has studied in Guangdong Army Primary School, Hubei Third Army Middle School, Baoding Army Corps and the Sixth Artillery Department of Baoding Army Academy. Because of his cleverness and excellent grades, he is expected by his teachers and friends.
In p>1919, after graduating from Baoding Military Academy, Huang Qixiang was assigned to be the platoon leader of the 3rd Battalion of the Artillery Regiment of the First Division of Beiyang Frontier Defense. In 192, he was transferred back to Baoding Military Academy as the captain of the artillery team, and Chen Cheng was a student of his unit. Influenced by Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary thought, Huang Qixiang resigned from Baoding Military Academy in 1922 and returned to Guangdong to take part in the revolution. After Huang arrived in Guangzhou, Sun Yat-sen led the Northern Expedition and served as the rear staff officer of the first division headquarters of the Guangdong Army. In June of the same year, at the invitation of Zhang Fakui, Huang was appointed as the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion. After that, Huang and Zhang left Guangdong until the end of 1927. In January 1924, after the reorganization of the Kuomintang, Huang joined the Kuomintang. The following year, Huang Qixiang served as battalion commander of 3rd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Division of Guangdong Army, and participated in the first crusade against Chen Jiongming. Then, he took part in the fight to quell the rebellion of Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan. After the war, the first regiment was expanded into an independent brigade, and Huang Qixiang was promoted to brigade commander. In August of the same year, the first division of the Guangdong Army was expanded into the fourth army of the National Revolutionary Army, the independent brigade was expanded into the twelfth division, and Huang served as the head of the 36th regiment of the division. In October, Huang participated in the second crusade of the National Revolutionary Army and fought with Deng Benyin on the South Road to Qiongya.
In July p>1926, Guangzhou National Government held the Northern Expedition. Huang Qixiang entered Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Henan with the 12th Division, and made outstanding achievements in Pingjiang, Tingsiqiao, Ma Huiling, Shangcai, Linying and other important battles, becoming one of the famous northern expeditions. In the famous Battle of Tingsi Bridge, Huang Qixiang attacked the front and back with sneak attack tactics, and made outstanding achievements. In the evening, Chen Keyu, deputy commander of the army, and the heads of divisions came to the front to scout the terrain. As everyone can see, Tingsi Bridge has strong defense, dangerous terrain, strong fortifications and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. When discussing the game style, there are different opinions. Huang Qixiang suggested taking the 36th Regiment as the vanguard, sailing to the upper reaches of the bridge that night, crossing the north bank, bypassing the bridge north and capturing the enemy's highest peak. The next morning, the troops in the south of Qiaoqiao launched a frontal attack, and the troops in the north of Qiaoqiao cooperated with this operation, which may be successful in one fell swoop. After Huang's statement, everyone agreed that the Nepal Foundation, a Soviet consultant, called it a chance of winning. In the evening, Huang Qixiang asked the detective captain Liang Bingshu to lead more than 6 people across the river first, followed by the 3rd and 1st battalions. Huang also ordered that only bayonets should be used when the enemy is few, and guns should not be used before reaching the highest point of the enemy line. At that time, the enemy fortified the highest mountain peak, and there were few troops on the mountainside. Huang groped his way forward at night, secretly approached the enemy, and occupied four peaks with no effort. When Huang Qixiang approached the enemy's highest peak, he ordered an attack. Suddenly, gunshots rang out and there was the sound of killing everywhere. The enemy fell into chaos and retreated in succession. Before dawn, the 36th Regiment occupied the enemy's highest peak. At this time, the Independent Regiment, the 35th Regiment and the 1th Division also stormed, and the enemy completely collapsed. Most of them were cut off by the Fourth Army. They were surrounded and disarmed. The famous battle of Tingsi Bridge ended successfully in less than a day. Ye Ting praised: "Qi Xianggong is a military genius and should take the lead in winning the Tingsi Bridge." After Qiao Ting's war, Huang Qixiang was promoted to major general. However, it is sad and regrettable that all the official articles and textbooks about the battle of Tingsi Bridge did not mention Huang Qixiang, who should have been the protagonist.
in November, 1926, the 12th Division was expanded into the 4th Army, with Zhang Fakui as the commander and Huang Qixiang as the commander of the 12th Division. On April 19th, 1927, with Tang Shengzhi as the commander in chief, the Wuhan government began the Northern Expedition in Henan. Huang Qixiang was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Army. In June 1927, he was promoted to the commander of the "Iron Army" of the Fourth Army. On July 15, 1927, the Fourth Army moved to Nanchang and Jiujiang, Jiangxi, to prepare for a crusade against Chiang Kai-shek. On the 29th, Huang attended the meeting of "* * * Production Party" held by others in Lushan. He sent people down the mountain overnight and secretly informed Gao, Yu Shude and Hui, famous figures of the * * * production party, to leave the army. On August 1st, He Long and Ye Ting held the Nanchang Uprising under the leadership of the * * * production party. Huang doesn't want to fight against the people with Jiang and Wang. He didn't have the courage to follow the * * * production party. Therefore, I feel at a loss and depressed. He said: "I think it is the saddest since the Northern Expedition. I'm going to throw all the guns of the Fourth Army into the river. The money saved by the army will be evenly distributed to the whole army's journey home, so as to truly disarm and return to the land. " . On December 12th of the same year, under the leadership of China's * * * Production Party, the Guangzhou cult and Guangzhou workers launched the Guangzhou Uprising, and the Soviet regime was established. Zhang Fakui and Huang Qixiang were forced to flee to Li Fulin. In the name of Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief, they urgently called Donghe troops back to Guangzhou to cooperate with Zhu Huiri's public security forces to counter the rebels, suppress the Guangzhou uprising and slaughter the revolutionary masses bloody. Huang Qixiang took a great responsibility for this matter and left Hong Kong under the criticism of public opinion at home and abroad. Huang stayed in Hong Kong for more than ten months, went to Japan in the spring of 1928 and went to Berlin University in Germany to study German in July of the same year. When Huang Qixiang was in Berlin, Deng, Ye Ting and Soong Ching Ling were also in Berlin. Under their influence, Huang realized something. He agreed with the position of * * * and supported Deng's idea of organizing and establishing a third political force against the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang in China, which was different from the * * * production party.
In May p>1929, at the request of Soong Ching Ling, Huang accompanied Song back to China to attend the ceremony of Sun Yat-sen's transfer to Nanjing, and then settled in Shanghai. In May 193, Deng also returned to Shanghai and initiated the establishment of the "China Kuomintang Temporary Action Committee" initiated by Huang Li. In August, the founding meeting of the party was held and the central board of directors was established. Huang Qixiang attended the officers' meeting and served as chairman of the Central Military Commission. In November of the following year, Deng was killed by Chiang Kai-shek, and Huang Nai was responsible for contacting all parties and continuing to work as a "third party".
The September 18th Incident broke out, which shocked the whole country. Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai, former generals of the Fourth Army, led the 19th Route Army to resist Japanese aggression in Shanghai, which attracted national attention. Huang Qixiang, who was still in Shanghai at that time, personally went to the front line, led the comrades of the "third party" in Shanghai to organize volunteer teams to participate in the war, and mobilized the masses to carry out activities such as fundraising and condolences to support the front line. After the failure of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the "third party" organization in Shanghai was also destroyed, and Huang Qixiang fled to Hong Kong. After the 19th Route Army moved to Fujian, with the active planning of the former fourth army generals Li, Chen, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai and others, the China People's Provisional Congress was held in Fuzhou on November 2th, 1933, and Huang Qixiang was promoted to be the chairman of the presidium of the Congress. Huang read a declaration at the meeting, announcing the establishment of the People's Revolutionary Government and changing its name to the People's Republic of China. This was the Fujian People's Government Movement, which was called "Fujian Reform" at that time. Huang Qixiang took an active part in this incident. As early as Shanghai, Huang lived with Cai Tingkai and others in different times. He repeatedly discussed the situation at that time, and
in October p>1936, Huang Qixiang received a phone call from Chen Cheng in Berlin, asking him to return to China to attend War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Huang is going home. In January of the following year, Huang met Chen Cheng in Nanjing. After Chen introduced Chiang Kai-shek, he became a senior staff officer of Chiang Kai-shek.
After that, he was appointed as training director and artillery supervisor. On August 13th, 1937, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out in Shanghai. Zhang Zhizhong was appointed commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, and Huang Qixiang was appointed deputy commander-in-chief to defend Shanghai. Soon, Huang was transferred to the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Army, commanding defensive operations in Qingpu and Jiading. On November 5th, the Japanese army landed in jinshanwei, Hangzhou Bay, and attacked Shanghai by virtue of its maritime and air superiority. Huang Qixiang listened to the police and rushed to Songjiang on a starry night to send troops to expel the Japanese army, but to no avail. This is to guard the Huangpu River, prevent the Japanese from advancing, and ensure the safety of Songjiang in Shanghai. Huang Qixiang only led a group of staff officers to command in Songjiang, trying to resist all the other troops. After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the Japanese tanks finally failed. On the 8th, Japanese tanks entered Songjiang, and Huang Qixiang retreated along the path. At this point, Shanghai War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression failed and the whole army marched westward. Huang's army arrived in Wuhan. The following year, the Political Department of the Military Commission was established in Wuhan. Chiang Kai-shek appointed Chen Cheng as political minister, and Zhou Enlai and Huang Jixiang as deputy ministers. Work together with Huang to strengthen the anti-Japanese lineup. During their working together, Huang Qixiang and Zhou Enlai were not only colleagues, but also neighbors who lived together day and night. They often walk together to analyze the political situation at home and abroad and the future of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Hate the yellow Kuomintang die-hards' destruction of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. He found that he shared many views with Zhou Enlai and forged a profound friendship with them. In August, Zhou Enlai left. Huang was uneasy about his situation, because he insisted on uniting against Japan, opposing separatism and cooperating with others, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Kuomintang right wing and often spoke ill of Chiang Kai-shek. He asked Chen Cheng to be transferred to the vice minister of military training and leave Wuhan for Guilin. From autumn 1938 to 1939, Huang stayed in Guilin for more than a year.
in the autumn of p>1939, the Japanese army launched an attack on the battlefield of Hunan and Hubei. Huang Qixiang was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the 26th Army, and led the first and fourth armies of Li Moan into Shaoyang, Hunan Province, guarding Changsha. But before the army was transferred to the battlefield, Huang was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the 11th Army. He insisted on the cooperation between China and Li Kenong, the Guangxi office of the Eighth Route Army, and seconded party member Liao Mosha from Wang Jiu Daily to his headquarters as the main secretary. The group army stationed in Xiangfan, Hubei Province took part in the first battle. The Battle of Dawn is one of the most important battles in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The Japanese army dispatched five divisions, and the goal of the first battle was to occupy Zaoyang, Xiangyang and Laohekou. Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater of the 11th Army of Huang Qixiang, is in charge of border defense in Zaoyang area. At that time, Sun Zhen, Commander-in-Chief of the 22nd Army, went back to Sichuan on leave, and Commander-in-Chief Huang Qixiang commanded the headquarters to fight.
on may 4th, 194, a brigade of the 39th division and a division of the 6th division of the Japanese army attacked the 11th army, occupied big cities and settled down. The 175th Division of the 84th Army of Huang Yi stopped troops near Tangxian Town, and shifted its main force to Zaoyang position. At this moment, however, the enemy flanked and came to the door of Tangxian County. Chiang Kai-shek's own Tang didn't listen to Li Zongren's orders at all, so he quit without fighting and saved his strength. Zaoyang exposed the enemy. On August 8, Huang was forced to give up Zaoyang and retreat to Xiangfan. When retreating, Huang Qixiang was full of sadness and wrote "Give me back my mountains and rivers" on the blackboard on the wall of the headquarters. After Huang retreated, the Japanese army was in a hurry, and Huang blocked the Japanese army with 173 divisions. Being outnumbered, most divisions were killed in the fierce battle because their teacher was Zhong Yi. After Huang led the main force to retreat to the perimeter, he calmly commanded, actively counterattacked and surrounded the enemy. With the cooperation of friendly forces, they surrounded four Japanese divisions in the eastern Hunan plain and fought fiercely until the eleventh day. The enemy suffered heavy casualties, broke through eastward and Zaoyang was recovered. However, in the pursuit of eastern Hunan, General Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army, led a small number of troops to meet the enemy and made a heroic sacrifice. The enemy fought back and invaded Zaoyang again on 17th. The troops commanded by Huang Qixiang are miscellaneous, and the 22nd Army is temporarily in a subordinate position, so it is difficult to deploy. After the fall of Zaoyang, Fuyang and Fancheng, Huang Zeng said angrily, "If there were four armies in hand that day, I would not take part in the war of resistance."
Huang Qixiang often said: As a soldier, it is only natural to give everything unreservedly in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Because of his enthusiasm and self-cultivation, he is always calm, calm and cautious when commanding operations. Every time there is a war, he will study the enemy situation in detail and look at the map carefully. Although enemy planes circled over his head and gunshots echoed in his ears, they were as calm as usual. In his headquarters, he also quoted some important works of progressives, such as Zhu and Chen. His wife, Guo, also takes the battlefield as her home and works with her, not avoiding danger. She organized a field service team to carry out rescue work.
In September p>194, after the Battle of Zaoyi, Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to reorganize and cancelled the army designation. Huang was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the reserve army and arrived in Chongqing in early 1941. This winter, Huang was transferred to the Deputy Commander of the Sixth Theater and stationed in Enshi, Hubei and Qianjiang, Sichuan. After the Southern Anhui Incident, Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, was detained in Enshi. Instead of avoiding suspicion, Huang went to visit and take care of him. He and Ye Ting are not only old friends, but also admire his noble character. Later, he wrote in a poem commemorating Ye: "Where do you know that flowers bloom and fall, and red leaves stay between heaven and earth?" After the outbreak of the Pacific War, China set up an expeditionary force and set up an expeditionary force headquarters in Kunming. Huang was appointed as the deputy commander to command the expeditionary force in western Yunnan. He showed outstanding command ability in the allied forces, and made great contributions to opening the Sino-Indian highway that was blocked for three years and ending the siege of our country. In 1988, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Huang Qixiang fought in the southeast, and commanded the large corps to fight many times, which gave full play to the prestige of the Chinese nation. Friendly to people, but gentle and approachable, he is known as a military politician. He has deep friendship with many leaders of China's * * * production party and made valuable contributions to the second cooperation between the two countries. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Huang was awarded the highest medal in China-the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Medal of Victory and the highest medal in the United States-the Medal of Freedom, and was appointed as the garrison commander of the eastern section of China-Highway. In 1946, the headquarters was revoked and Huang returned to Chongqing.
After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Huang Qixiang, as an active general, was the first to publicly announce: "I will quit the civil war." He was severely reprimanded by Chiang Kai-shek. General Huang Shaoxiong said: "Huang Qixiang has always opposed Chiang Kai-shek, so he will never reuse Chiang Kai-shek unless he has to." Otherwise, with his invincible record, he should be promoted to the first-class general, just like those senior generals of the national army. In 1947, Chiang Kai-shek demoted him to Germany and served as the head of China's military delegation in Germany. In the autumn of 1948, the War of Liberation entered the stage of full-scale counterattack of China People's Liberation Army. Chiang Kai-shek hoped that the US-Soviet War or the Third World War would break out to save the defeat. In September of the same year, Huang Qixiang suddenly received a signed telegram from Chiang Kai-shek in Berlin, saying that "I heard that the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union in Berlin is tense, and the Cold War may become a hot war." If so, I am willing to report to China. "Huang went back to Nanjing to see Chiang Kai-shek, and analyzed to Chiang Kai-shek that war could not happen, hoping to resume peace talks. The meeting finally disappointed Huang. He asked to resign as the head of the German military delegation, refused to go to Berlin again, and was determined to join the people. Later, Chiang Kai-shek asked Huang Qixiang to visit Chen Cheng in Taiwan Province Province, hoping to use Chen Cheng's relationship to stay in Taiwan Province Province for later use. After meeting Cheng, Chen Jian suggested that Huang's family move to Taiwan Province Province to settle down. Huang returned to Shanghai with discussion, and then left Taiwan Province Province to return to Shanghai. That winter, he left Shanghai for Guangzhou, and then went to Hong Kong, out of the control of the Kuomintang. During his stay in Hong Kong, Huang hoped that the responsible comrades of the China Production Party would do more work for the liberation of Hong Kong under the leadership of the Party. To this end, he wrote to Zhang Fakui, Yu Hanmou, Xue Yue and Li, urging them to revolt.
in August p>1949, under the arrangement of China * * * production party, Huang Qixiang returned to Peiping with his family. As a special representative, he attended the first National Political Consultative Conference and the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huang Qixiang successively served as a member of the Central South Military and Political Committee, Minister of Justice, member of the Bills Committee, deputy director of the State Sports Commission, member of the National Defense Commission, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman and secretary general of the Central Committee of the China Agricultural Workers' Democratic Party, and was elected as the first national.
