He Weizhen, another Huangpu, said

He Weizhen (1892- 1963), a native of Yongxin, Jiangxi Province, was once the chief of Major General Infantry in the First Branch of the Central Military Academy (Nanning Branch). Later, he served as a senior general of the National Revolutionary Army in Central China.

He Weizhen (1888 ~ 1976), male, is from Rongling Village, Yan Ge Township, Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province. When he was a child, he studied at Daonan College. After graduation, he joined the army and was admitted to Baoding Military Academy. He graduated three years later and entered the first special student class of Army University for further study. After learning, He Weizhen was sent to the army to lead the troops.

1944, the Japanese invaders invaded Changsha and Hengyang, and marched straight in, attacking the Yellow River in Guangxi from Hunan, directly threatening Guilin. Guilin was then the capital of Guangxi Province and the southern gate of the motherland. In addition, after the fall of Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha and Hengyang, organs, organizations, schools and industrial and commercial enterprises in these areas gathered here, and the population suddenly increased to several million. This has become a strategic focus, so the Japanese aggressors' planes have been constantly bombing and bombing, causing great losses to people's lives and property.

He Weizhen, then the commander of the Kuomintang Army 16 Army 3 1 Army, was sent to Guilin for defense. He Weizhen also serves as the deputy commander of the temporarily established "Guilin Yugoslav Defense Command", and the commander is Yunsong Wei, the deputy commander of the group army. The main force guarding the city is 3 1 army. This leaves the future and destiny of Guilin to He Weizhen. Determined to live up to expectations, He Weizhen made full use of Guilin's rugged geographical conditions and dense caves, and formulated a city defense plan relying on natural disasters, digging caves, storing grain and grass, hiding military forces and surprise attacks.

As the main commander of Guilin's defense war, He Weizhen led the troops, insisted on defending the land, fought hard with the enemy and fought fiercely with the Japanese aggressors. The Japanese army invaded Guilin with dozens of troops, and the whole Guilin city was filled with smoke and the mountains shook. In the face of the Japanese army's rampant attack, the defenders relied on caves to fight calmly, and the firepower network was intertwined. Countless people died in a pool of blood. The enemy had to change tactics and attack at night. The defenders had high morale and high morale, and persisted in defending for more than ten days and nights. Because they were outnumbered and the Japanese used "fire attack", the cave burned out, and the whole cave position became a sea of fire. The first 13 1 division commander, Kan Weiyong, took the HQ. In this case, in order to preserve our strength and avoid unnecessary sacrifices, we have to break through. Before the breakthrough, He Weizhen called Commander Yunsong Wei several times, but the telephone lines were interrupted by the enemy's heavy artillery. Later, he ordered the adjutant to run in contact with the enemy's gunfire, but it was gone and never came back. It was later discovered that Commander Yunsong Wei had led his personal staff to break through.

Afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek thought that He Weizhen's breakthrough was a "weak anti-Japanese war" and ordered Zhang Fakui, commander of the fourth war zone, to hold a "Guilin military review meeting" to investigate the responsibility. Although the right and wrong were finally clarified, what He Weizhen did was understood and praised by the participating generals and the society. Sweeping Daily published an editorial with the title of "Salute to all the soldiers who defended Guilin" in recognition of their great spirit of heroic sacrifice. However, He Weizhen felt that the officialdom was sinister, and Chiang Kai-shek's view of the portal was disheartened. He was eager to disarm and returned to his hometown. He built a bedroom in Yongxin County to support himself. I can't stop.

After defending Guilin, He Weizhen moved to Liuzhou. At that time, Liuzhou was in chaos, and street children blocked roads in droves, which was shocking not to tell them. He Weizhen and Bai Chongxi * * * jointly set up an orphan shelter to collect orphans, manage them and organize them into juvenile classes and primary schools according to their age. Hire teachers and nannies for training. This charity was widely praised by public opinion at that time.
