Who remembers this unit,' As long as the Japanese don't withdraw from China, our army will die.

After the July 7th Incident, the Military Commission of the National Government held a national defense meeting in Nanjing on August 7th, and the atmosphere at the meeting was very depressing. At this time, Liu Xiang, the chairman of Sichuan Province, stood up and, like Lu Su before the Red Cliff War of the Three Kingdoms, vigorously fought the main battle, saying, "War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Sichuan can send 300,000 troops to supply 5 million able-bodied men and 10,000 stones of grain!" During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, there were forty group armies in China War Zone, of which seven were Sichuan Army, providing one-fifth of the country's troops.

Soon, Liu Xiang volunteered to go out of Sichuan to participate in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and published "A Letter to Kang Junmin, Sichuan" as the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Theater and the commander-in-chief of the 23rd Army. Secretary-General Deng and others advised sick Liu Xiang not to travel in person, but he said, "In the past, after years of civil war, my face was not very glorious. Today, I serve my country. How can I live in the rear! "

By the end of the year, Liu Xiang declared that "I would like to lead 70 million people and look forward to welcoming them". The National Government marched westward to Chongqing, and led troops in a bloody battle with the Japanese army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, with huge casualties. 193865438+1October 20th, Liu Xiang vomited blood, had a stomach attack and died in Hankou. When he died, he left a will and said, "In the end, if the enemy does not retreat, the Sichuan army will not return!" This language is earth-shattering, and it has remained in the long river of history as an instruction for the Sichuan Army to raise the flag in the morning.

1888, Liu Xiang was born in Anren Town, Dayi County, Sichuan Province. His grandfather, Liu Gongjing, was a military attache in the Qing Dynasty. His third brother, Gongzan Liu, gave birth to six sons and a daughter. His son is Liu. Liu Xiang's father, Liu Wengang, has been practicing martial arts since childhood. After many attempts, he managed more than 40 acres of rice fields and a mill, married Xerox and had three sons. Liu Xiang, the eldest son, studied in a family private school when he was young. 1902 was admitted to Ligao Primary School in Dayi County. Soon, the Qing court abolished the imperial examination and established the Wu Wen School. Liu Xiang took an exam in Ya 'an behind his father's back and was admitted to the Army of Sichuan Military Equipment School. In April of the following year, he was admitted to the workshop of Sichuan Army, and was promoted to the Sichuan Army crash school at the beginning of 1908.

Liu Xiang has a round face, a wide forehead, a straight nose and a long voice. He has a strong physique and a deep temperament. Because he is brave and fearless, he dares to take responsibility and is willing to fight for his life. Jianghu people call him "Liu Mangzi". In the crash school, Liu Xiang never asked about politics, but devoted himself to class and exercise, which was deeply loved by teachers and classmates. After dinner, there is a group singing activity, and Liu Xiang often leads the singing. At that time, his eyelids were not healed, and some people called him Liu Blind.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/909, Liu Xiang graduated and was assigned to the new army as a trainee officer. In the "second revolution" and the war to defend the country, he was like a duck to water, and he was promoted from a platoon leader to a brigade commander with meritorious military service. At that time, the Yunnan army headed by Tang regarded the Sichuan army as a vassal, and Liu Xiang followed suit, rose up and fought, and finally became independent. He also slowly established a team of warlords who wanted money and guns and became the "grass king" of Sichuan.

Liu Xiang is superstitious. He must ask a "Liu Shenxian" named Liu everything. He had to calculate the time and choose the direction when marching and fighting, but once he came to a dead end. At ordinary times, the troops always hold a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods and kneel for half a day. General van hale is very disgusted with this. Kneeling and cursing, he went back and said, "I've been working for more than a fucking hour, and he doesn't even know." Can this be called a fairy? "

On one occasion, Chen Nengfang, his chief of staff, was preparing for rebellion, and Liu Xiang suddenly called a military meeting. He said at the meeting, "Please raise your hand if you want to go with Staff Chen." No one dares to raise it. He said, "Raise your hand if you want to talk to me about Liu Xiang!" Suddenly my arms are like a forest. So he said, "Chief of Staff, they don't want to go with you. Go." During the period of 1927, both Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei tried their best to win over the Sichuan Army, but Liu Xiang took Chiang as his political backer.

After winning the dispute between Liu and Liu, Liu Xiang showed concern for blood relationship and let Liu go, of course, he was also worried that Deng Xihou would take advantage of it. He has always insisted that Sichuan belongs to Sichuanese and does not trust the Central Army. To this end, Liu Xiang held a "martial arts meeting" in the army to make his subordinates swear allegiance, and also to write down what punishment they would receive if they violated it. So, the officers filled out various forms: willing to be shot, willing to be beheaded, and also wrote no children or daughters.

In addition to maintaining independence, Liu Xiang also attached great importance to education and founded Chongqing University. Once he declared that he could get rich without science and be self-sufficient after closing the door. Dean He of the School of Science immediately stood up and retorted: "So, why is the supervisor wearing a suit today?" Embarrassed as it is, Liu Xiang still has enough respect for scientists. Liu Xiang bought a dozen planes for bombing performance. Unfortunately, they were thrown into the ranks of students, and a supervisor's leg was blown off. This matter has been teased by Chen Cheng and others for a long time.

Liu Xiang devoted himself to the Anti-Japanese War and was respected and loved by the people of China. 1939 In September, the National Government held a grand state funeral ceremony for Liu Xiang in Chengdu, and later changed the location of his mausoleum to "Nanjiao Park". Unfortunately, the tomb of Liu Xiang was broken down by the rebels during the Cultural Revolution, and it was rebuilt only after the reform and opening up, but the bones have long been hard to find.
