Since the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, the anti-Japanese soldiers have fought a fierce battle with their lives, each of which has a lot of anti-Japanese heroes' sacrifices, the Changde Defense War is definitely one of the classic battles, the 57th Division of the 74th Army, 8,000 Tigers blocked the Japanese army for more than 30,000 days for 12 days, hard to rely on the blood of the heart, the bloody battle to the end, only 83 people survived, can be called a miracle. On November 21, 1943, the 2nd Battalion of the 171st Regiment of the 57th Division received an order from Yu Chengwan to hold its position, and after receiving the order, the battalion commander, Nguyen Chi Fong, resolutely replied: The division commander let us die here, and we will die here. After two days of bloody fighting, all 500 soldiers of the 2 battalions were heroically sacrificed, and the Japanese army paid thousands of casualties in order to capture the position, and there were many battles like this.
On December 3, 1943, the 57th Division was almost completely destroyed, Yu Chengwan led the remaining fighters to start the breakthrough, the commander of the 169th Regiment was responsible for leading the remaining more than a hundred fighters to cover, because there was no ammunition, everyone launched a white-knife battle with the Japanese army on the battlefield, the regimental commander was hit by the enemy, heroic sacrifice, the remaining fighters in order not to be captured, committed suicide and martyrdom, Changde fell, only Yu Chengwan and more than 50 people successfully broke through, after leaving the city, encountered reinforcements, Yu Chengwan led the army to retake Changde.
And Yu Chengwan is the key figure in this battle, the commander of the 57th Division, he is a student of the first phase of Huangpu, after graduation did not directly join the army, chose to continue further study, but after coming out, it was more embarrassing, Wang Yaowu, who graduated two times later than himself, became his commander, but the other party's ability is indeed extraordinary.
After Jiang learned of Changde's fall, he was very angry and wanted to send Yu Chengwan to the Military Justice Department, but wang Yaowu and others said good things before they were sentenced to two years in prison, and when the sentence was not completed, they were released on bail, and after his release from prison, Yu Chengwan was appointed deputy commander of the 74th Army, and promoted to commander of the 26th Army in 1948.
Although his official position is very large, but because of his experience in previous years, he is extremely disgusted with the cannibalism of his compatriots, and he has no choice but to go to Hong Kong to live a plain life with his wife and children, because Yu Chengwan also has some wealth, although he has no one to rely on in Hong Kong, his life is also very good.
Originally wanted to stay here and spend the rest of his life, but what he did not expect was that his property was still worried about many people, on the night of August 27, 1955, Yu Chengwan's wife was kidnapped by robbers, and Yu Chengwan, who was still full of energy, could tolerate such a thing, and pulled out a weapon to rob people from the robbers.
Soon after the local police also felt the scene, the two sides broke out a fierce gun battle, because the sky is relatively dark, many things can not be seen clearly, and General Yu Chengwan was killed in this firefight, although the next day the police said that Yu Chengwan was killed by robbers, and the adjutant said that Yu Chengwan was used as a shield and was hit by the police, but the truth was not known.
