Warlord Ma Bufang of the Republic of China

Among the warlords of the Republic of China, northwest Ma Jiajun was a force, and Ma Jiajun was divided into Qingma and Ma Ning, among which Qingma was the strongest, and Ma Bufang, the representative of Qingma. Ma Bufang, a Hui nationality, whose grandfather was the leader of the transformation from Shaanxi to Gansu, has been occupied by his family in the northwest. Ma Bufang followed his father to take refuge in the nationalist army. Later, he moved between Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang, and his strength continued to improve, becoming a local strength faction. By 1934, he has become the acting chairman of Qinghai Province and the chief executive of five northwest provinces.

Later, the marked army, which led the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, caused great casualties to the Red Army. But Ma Bufang and his troops also dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At the beginning of the liberation war, Ma Jiajun also brought some troubles to the PLA. But still doomed to failure.

After the failure, Ma Bufang went to Taiwan Province, then to Saudi Arabia, and finally died in Saudi Arabia. At that time, Ma Bufang was a very powerful warlord, but he only had one son, Ma Jiyuan. Speaking of this Ma Jiyuan, there is a funny story circulating now.

On one occasion, Ma Bufang took his son Ma Jiyuan to see Chiang Kai-shek, and Jiang Jingguo was there. Chiang Kai-shek pointed to Jiang Jingguo and said, Son Jiang Jingguo! ? Dog is a modest name, but where does Ma Bufang know this? He thought of Chiang Kai-shek saying that his son was a dog.

Chiang Kai-shek's son is a dog's son, so his son can't be better than the chairman's son, so he pointed to Ma Jiyuan and said? Ma Jiyuan of donkey ri! ? At that time, Chiang Kai-shek and the military officials present were also shocked. This Ma Jiyuan is the only son of Ma Bufang.

Ma Jiyuan192111Hezhou, Gansu. His birth made Ma Bufang very happy. After all, with the son's representative and inheritance, Ma Jiyuan suddenly became the little emperor of Ma Bufang's family. And Ma Bufang also took great pains to cultivate his son. Like most parents in China, Ma Bufang has a dream to make his son successful, but he won't go through the normal procedure. He has paved the way for his son.

1933, Ma Jiyuan was appointed as the chief of staff of garrison headquarters, a colonel in the North-South Border Region of Qinghai Province (the commander was Ma Bufang). This appointment was made through an order issued by the military and political department of Nanjing. Please note that Ma Jiyuan was only 12 years old at this time. Think about it. A young man at the age of 12 must have something to do with the operation of Ma Bufang, and Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to woo and appease Ma Bufang, so Ma Jiyuan became a colonel at the age of 12, creating a legend for the national army.

This is not over. 1934, Ma Jiyuan was appointed as 100 division pistol regiment 1 company deputy, and was promoted to company commander the following year. 1936 served as 100 chief of staff of the division headquarters, chief of staff of garrison headquarters in the southern border region of Qinghai, and captain of the 3rd brigade of the 5th and 82nd cavalry officer training regiments. At this time he was only 15 years old.

1August, 936, Ma Jiyuan entered the fifth military training class of the Central Military Academy. In fact, he went to gild and graduated in July 1937. Four months later, in June/1,Ma Jiyuan was promoted to Major General (commander Ma Bufang) of the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Army. At this time, he was only 16 years old, and at the age of 16, he has become a major general, which can be said to be unprecedented in the national army, and what's more.

Since then, Ma Jiyuan's career has flourished. 194 1, promoted to major general and deputy commander of the 82nd Army (commander Ma Bufang). In the same year, he served as a member of the Qinghai Provincial Party Department of the Kuomintang of China and director-general of the Qinghai Youth League of the Three People's Principles. At this time, he is only a 20-year-old boy.

1942 Ma Jiyuan 2 1 year old. This year, he officially took over his father's class and served as the commander of the 82nd Army of the Northwest Elite Force of the Kuomintang and the rank of Major General of the National Revolutionary Army. 1943, Ma Jiyuan was 22 years old. This year, after the 82nd National Army and the 5th Cavalry Army merged into the 40th Army, he still served as the commander of the 82nd Army.

Ma Jiyuan served as the commander of the 82 nd Army, but he did not drag out an ignoble existence in the rear and went to the front to fight against the Japanese aggressors. He led Ma Jiajun to attack the Japanese army in Yuncheng, Shaanxi, Huaiyang, Henan, Shouxian, Fengtai in northern Anhui and other places, which made the Japanese army fearful and showed them the bravery of the people in Ma Jiajun and China.

As far as anti-Japanese is concerned, Ma Jiajun has made great contributions to the nation, and Ma Jiyuan's performance in anti-Japanese is really worthy of being a soldier. Later, Ma Jiyuan entered the general officer class of Luda, and entered the general officer class of Luda for his better promotion in the future. During his study, Ma Jiyuan reached a relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. He married his adopted daughter and became his son-in-law, so the Ma family was taken to North Korea.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Jiyuan's 82nd Army was reorganized into the 82nd Division, with him as the division commander, and Ma Jiyuan led his troops to participate in the civil war. Under the leadership of Ma Jiyuan, Ma Jiajun maintained a consistent tough style, which brought great trouble to the PLA in the early days. 1June, 947, Heshui, Ma Jiyuan reorganized the 82nd Division and hit the 2nd column of the main force of the Northwest Field Army of the People's Liberation Army. A big win in the water? .

Ma Jiyuan and his men repelled the attack of three columns of the Northwest Field Army of the People's Liberation Army at that time, which made the People's Liberation Army realize that the fighting capacity of Qingma and the tactics of cavalry should not be underestimated. What's more, in August of that year, Ma Jiyuan and his men almost wiped out the fourth column of the Xiye People's Liberation Army at 9: 00 in the hinterland of Ziwuling, Ning County, and realized the so-called "? Ziwuling triumph? . 1In April, 948, the 82nd Division was reorganized, and the teaching brigade of the Sixth Column of the People's Liberation Army suffered heavy losses. Great victory in the battle of Nishifu? The national army called it the battle of jingwei valley. The battle cost less than 1500 casualties, not only killed more PLA soldiers, but also captured 2000 PLA soldiers, logistics personnel and former migrant workers.

These battles with Ma Jiyuan are also called the shame of our army. Boss Peng also admitted that this was a rare defeat in his life, and Chiang Kai-shek also praised Ma Jiyuan. 1949 In May, the 82nd Division was restored to the 82nd Army, and Ma Jiyuan once again served as the commander, and was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the National Revolutionary Army. At this time, he was only 28 years old. At this age, he has become a senior general of the national army.

Judging from his several defeats of the People's Liberation Army, Ma Jiyuan is quite capable. However, no matter how excellent Ma Jiyuan is, he can't save the defeat of the national army. After the war in Lanzhou, it was completely destroyed, and the accumulation of three generations of Ma family was destroyed. Since then, Qingma has also withdrawn from the historical stage. Ma Jiyuan and his father Ma Bufang left the mainland for Taiwan Province and finally went to Saudi Arabia.

Since then, Ma Jiyuan has never been back to the motherland. After the Wenchuan earthquake, he immediately donated $5,000 to show his concern for the motherland. Ma Jiyuan died in Saudi Arabia on February 27, 20 12 at the age of 9 1. His death also represents the end of his era. Anyway, Ma Jiyuan was a legend in those days, and there was no warlord like him in the whole national army. If it is not a legend, what is it?
