Li Tianxia, Taiwan Province Province, died.

At 5 am on September 1949, Ye Fei Corps of the 28th Army of China People's Liberation Army launched a general attack on Pingtan. Ye Fei's two regiments took advantage of the darkness before dawn to sail from Fuqing to Pingtan Island by nearly a hundred wooden sailboats. They were discovered by the national guard. Li Tianxia ordered the wooden sailboat to dock, and then the enemy opened fire violently after landing on the beach. In an instant, PLA troops fell on the beach and Ye Fei troops landed, causing heavy casualties. When the People's Liberation Army saw that the storm didn't work, it organized a blasting commando team to block the bunker with fire first and then carry out blasting. An hour later, the bunker on the island was dumb!

On the same day, Li retreated to Aoi, the headquarters of the Sixth Corps. That night, Li asked the commander of the 6th Corps and his party to move to a ship "Zhenjiang" with a weight of several hundred tons, which was moored in the harbor, on the grounds that the "Guanyin 'ao" was small, the civil defense was limited, and there were too many military personnel to accommodate it, and he promised that his troops would never retreat. At midnight, Li Tianxia led ministerial officers and soldiers to board the "Tian Ping" and sailed straight to Taiwan Province Province. At this time, several warships headed by Li Yuxi, the captain of Taikang Ship, followed by Chiang Kai-shek's orders. If Tian Ping changes course and goes to the production party, it will sink on the spot.

The "Tian Ping" successfully entered the Taiwan Province Strait, and Li received a telegram from the office of the southeast military and political chief: "The ship must berth on the high seas, and when it will enter the port, it will be notified separately." It was Zheng who told his family that he would arrive in Keelung Port. When the family members arrived at the dock, they saw the gendarmerie standing in line and being heavily guarded. After landing, the officers and men of the 73rd Army were disarmed and caught up with the military trucks (according to the regulations, all troops coming to Taiwan Province Province must stay and train first, that is, lay down their weapons and then re-register).

1950 just after the spring festival, Li received a summons from the military court: the authorities should reconsider the Pingtan war. Later, he was taken into custody and became that he and Li Yannian were brothers. At this time, the elites revealed: Chiang Kai-shek wants to make an example, and Li Yannian and Li Tianxia are afraid of their lives! To this end, the whole family is very worried, and Li's close friends in the army are even more anxious. People think that only when the central authorities ask Song Meiling to come out personally can we bear it. So Sai An, Li's eldest son, drove a car with the license plate number 15-2454 (unlucky number), carrying "legislators", deputies to the National People's Congress and military elders to mediate in turn. Finally, Song Meiling sent a message "People can save their lives!" Everyone is relieved. However, Li Er, who lives in the same room, doesn't know. Li Yannian decided on a formula of "death", fiddling with a brush all day and scribbling the word "kill" on rice paper. Li Tianxia wandered around the room, and his loneliness, disappointment and frustration were palpable. Next door is Li Yutang, former commander-in-chief of Shandong appeasement.

1950 March, the military court of the office of the military chief of southeast province of Taiwan Province, according to the criminal law of the armed forces. Li Yannian Li Tianxia was sentenced to life imprisonment. In April, four old generals, He,,, and, jointly wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, asking for leniency "Li Er". Chen Cheng signed the agreement that Chiang Kai-shek commuted "Li Er" to fixed-term imprisonment, and Chiang Kai-shek agreed.

1On June 4th, 950, with the approval of Chiang Kai-shek, the High Military Court sentenced Li Yannian and Li Tianxia to fixed-term imprisonment of 12 years on the charge of "failing to fulfill their due obligations and getting cold feet". In June of the same year +065438+ 10, He, Gu and Tang made persistent efforts and jointly wrote to Chiang Kai-shek, demanding that his sentence be halved. Jiang recognized the word "slow". After more than two months, veteran Jiang He went out again and joined the third wave of offensive. The generals insisted that Chiang Kai-shek let Er Li "transfer to another job and make meritorious deeds", and Chiang agreed.

195 1 April, Li Yannian didn't want to be a soldier any more. He lived in Xindian Township and Li Tianxia was sent to serve in Kinmen. But Li has lost the real power of a senior general, and his previous prestige is gone.

1955, Li Tianxia pooled a sum of money to start a business. The general's specialty was wrong, and he was soon cheated out of his money. From 65438 to 0956, at the invitation of his good friend Pan Shi, Li was a consultant of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, specializing in teaching Daoism and Hypnosis. A few days later, a murder case happened in Taiwan Province province. Major General Ye Yi's family and five maids were killed. All the investigations failed, but Li Tianxia used "hypnosis" to let some detectives vaguely see the whole process of the murder. Although the fog has dissipated, this case is still a big unsolved case in Taiwan Province Province.

In business, Li once revealed that on April 1945, an American submarine sank the Japanese 10,000-ton ship "Apomaru" near Pingtan Island at the northern end of the Taiwan Province Strait. There were a lot of gold bars, platinum and diamonds on board, and his subordinate Colonel Liao used this secret to design a scam. First of all, he flashed the signboard of Li Tianxia, the former defense chief of Pingtan Island, and vowed that the shipwreck was true, talking nonsense about preparing to salvage the Apomaru, and at the same time raising funds to defraud all parties of money. After that, Li Tianxia was exempted from prosecution. So Li is very leisurely, still wearing a suit and tie and walking with his wife in the streets of Taipei.

From the spring of 1957 to August of' 58, Mr. and Mrs. Li visited all the places of interest in Taiwan Province Province. At the bottom of real estate and gold bars, Li still lives a life of scraps of paper. He likes gambling and playing "sand crab". Seeing the house fall into the hands of others, he still refused to give up until his wife called the police: "There are not many policemen left!" " He hardly washes his hands. Some people sum up their life with "spending money like water, loving love like life, killing like hemp", which is not groundless, at least he is moved.

1960, Dr. Lin sued chan kwong wing for defrauding land mortgage, and Li was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison and became a news figure. At the same time, his wife Yue Jinghua has finished the divorce procedure. Twenty months in prison gave Li Tianxia a chance to relive his wounds.

1On April 26th, 962, Li was released from prison. What a coincidence! At the beginning, the military court sentenced him to 12 years in prison, which also expired on this day. Li Tianxia spent his last years in Taiwan Province in a "family village" in Taipei. Worst of all, once he bought food and cooked by himself. Fortunately, he still received a red envelope from the authorities on holidays, and his life was poor but not sour.

The banquet to celebrate Li's 60th birthday was held as scheduled. Although there is no shortage of wine and vegetables, many things will inevitably hurt the same kind in school. What faction do they all belong to? When they came to Taiwan Province, they were rejected by Chen Cheng. Most of them broke the seal and went to hell. A few of them are titled "senator" and "adviser", all of which are in name only. At this time, former comrades-in-arms frequently toasted Li, all over their faces. It seems that the two stars on the shoulder are still flashing, and the scene is more emotional. Unexpectedly, this is the last dinner. The next day, Li Tianxia fell ill and was diagnosed with uremia in the hospital. His condition is getting worse and worse, and there is nothing the doctor can do. 1February 9, 967, when Li lay dying, he remembered his only childhood confidant cousin. "If such a woman is my life partner, my experience may be rewritten." His son Sean asked if there was a will. He shook his head with a wry smile. The only requirement is to drink some sugarcane juice. Sean went to the street to buy it at once. Because it was not easy to buy at the moment, I had to buy a bottle of juice, and Li barely took two sips.

1February 1967 10 (the second day of the first month), Li Tianxia, a veteran of Huangpu, died at the age of 60. At that time, funeral committee, headed by Gu, Yu Jishi, will be proclaimed. Yue Jinghua asked to attend the memorial service, but was turned away by the generals. At that time, the army commander-in-chief, the navy commander-in-chief, the air force commander-in-chief, Xu Huansheng, the joint logistics commander-in-chief, Lai, the police chief of Taiwan Province Province, Tang Shouzhi, the director of the General Political Department, and Yu Boquan, the director of the presidential palace all gave gifts. The white curtain in the memorial hall is solemn. The eldest son Sai An, the second son Lian and the grandson knelt on one side, while the younger sister and brother-in-law Lu were busy outside. General Li Tianxia's ashes are placed in the "Yuantong Temple" in Zhonghe City, Taipei County.
