Niu Xianming, who was studying at the French Saint Cyril Military Academy when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, immediately stopped studying and returned to the motherland to go to the national disaster. Because of his education in overseas military academies, he was the battalion commander of the engineering corps of the Kuomintang Central Army Military Academy before being besieged in Nanjing, and participated in the Nanjing Defence War. 1August, 945, Zhijiang surrendered and became a major general. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Niu Xianming successively served as the second major general director of the government military command and deputy chief of staff of the Beiping military command. 1949 and then went to Taiwan Province, where he served as commander of garrison headquarters in Taiwan Province province and head of the military delegation in Japan. Starting from 1964, it was transferred to the cultural field. He used to be editor-in-chief of Zhong Zheng Bookstore, director of Huaxin Cultural Center, consultant of Taiwan TV Company and professor of China Cultural Institute. No.1July 996 1 1, died in America.
Niujia was originally from Niujia, and later moved to Jiangxi. His father is Niu Chuanshan (1877 ~? The word "Yuan Bo" was an outstanding tribute of the Qing Dynasty, a citizen of the Qing Dynasty (Han nationality), and then the chief financial officer of the Republic of China. Therefore, Niu Xianming is not only an official's family, but also a typical "poem and ritual heirloom". 65,438+04 years old, graduated from the land division. After returning home, I started as a junior officer and soon went to France to study. Niu Xianming is a standard "moire Yun Wu".
Later, when he recalled the Nanjing Defence War, he said, "One month after the July 7th Incident, I was called back from France and participated in the Battle of Shanghai and Nanjing Defence War at the end of 1937. Unfortunately, the Japanese army was defeated by the wisdom and weapons of barbarians and civilizations. I personally hid in the temple-Nanjing Jiming Temple and pretended to be a fake monk for eight months before I escaped from the tiger's mouth and returned to the team. " 1In August, 938, he was given the opportunity to escape from Nanjing and return to Wuhan via Shanghai. Barton's secularization is very frank. Although he is a soldier, he will be afraid in that ghostly environment. In his memory, Barton was not afraid to expose his cowardice at that time. For example, he said that he would be "overly frightened" when he saw Japanese devils entering the city; The japs came to search. "Although there were only ten minutes before and after, everyone almost fainted because of nervousness, and I was no exception." When I questioned him that day, he would be frightened out of my wits, without pretense or affectation, which can be described as upright and poised. Niu Xianming's versatility and astute wisdom have also left a profound influence on people. For example, he pretended to be a monk, which aroused the suspicion of Japanese invaders and made them recite scriptures. It happened that he studied Buddhist scriptures with his mother when he was a child, and he remembered some of them. He immediately recited half of the Heart Sutra and let him get away with it. Otherwise, he may have been seen by the Japanese aggressors. When he was in Nanjing Jiming Temple, he saw that many Japanese devils who came to "worship" wanted to "stamp" in Jiming Temple as a souvenir, so he had a brainwave, found a stone and a pedicure knife, and carved a fake version of the "Ancient Jiming Temple" stone stamp to fool the Japanese. Since then, it has been out of control, from stamp carving to writing for the Japanese.
Since then, Zhang Henshui has created a novel named River of No Return based on Niu Xianming's experience, which has been serialized in Hong Kong's National Daily 1939. From then on, Niu Xianming became famous for a while.
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Niu Xianming served as an instructor in the "intelligence staff training class" of the military system. According to Zhang Ganping, the fourth student of the class, at that time, this "general Niu Xianming, who was written as a novel character by Zhang Henshui and was once chased by the Japanese and became a monk" left a very deep impression on everyone. Zhang Qian Ping said, "Another most popular tutor is Niu Xianming, who has explained current events to us many times. He was working in the Military Command and was also the boss of our intelligence staff business. " Zhang recalled: "Niu Xianming gave us the impression that he lived up to his reputation. Natural and unrestrained, eloquent, excellent manners, excellent eloquence; As soon as he appeared, we gave him a full house! When he explained current events, he also touched on tactics. The deployment of the enemy and our two armies, the number of stations, such as a few treasures; The analysis and judgment of the enemy's situation are orderly and distinct. Occasionally, some anecdotes on the battlefield, the introduction of the character and style of both sides, are fascinating and lifelike, which makes people laugh. Listening to his speech is no less than a spiritual adjustment and enjoyment for our boring, tense and hard study and life. Moreover, because many of what he said are inside military secrets, it can't be seen in the newspaper at all, which not only satisfies our knowledge that a scholar can stay at home and know what's going on in the world. " At that time, Niu worked in the military command and knew the situation of both sides very well. Instructors who are staff officers are really no longer suitable.
Colonel Xie, who died in battle, was posthumously awarded as a general after the war. Xie Shoucheng entrusted his little sister to Niu Xianming. After the war, Niu Xianming fulfilled his promise to the anti-Japanese martyr, married Xie, and had children and grandchildren to grow old together.
