''Rather touch the King of Yan, don't touch the old king''' ", the most feared general of the Japanese army, almost undefeated, became a legend."
He was known as the god of war against Japan, and was hardly defeated, and the Japanese trembled when they heard his name
Throughout Chinese and foreign history, when was the most heroic haojie in history? That is when countries and nations are in danger. They can no longer live in anonymity and live a quiet life in the mountains and forests. Take the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan that we are more familiar with, the country has produced many famous anti-Japanese generals, including tong Linge, a very famous general of the Great Wall War of Resistance, Li Zongren, who performed prominently in the Battle of Taierzhuang, Sun Liren, a general of the Expeditionary Force, Xue Yue during the Three Battles of Changsha, and so on.
In the famous three battles of Changsha, Xue Yue used the Heavenly Furnace tactics with the help of the unique terrain of Hunan to achieve a decisive retreat, annihilating a total of 100,000 Japanese troops, and the people who were killed were pure-bred Japanese, because of this battle, he also won the honorary title of anti-Japanese god of war.
As one of the generals of the expeditionary force, the famous general Sun Liren's anti-Japanese deeds are quite legendary. It is said that he once captured more than 1,000 Japanese troops, interrogated them one by one, and asked them who had been to Nanjing, and if they had, they would all be buried alive. When the people heard the news, they all clapped their hands and applauded. However, later relevant news confirmed that this was a rumor, but Sun Li's anti-Japanese achievements in Burma were real. At that time, he led the new 38th Division to Burma to participate in the war, annihilated a total of Japanese troops, and rescued a total of 7,000 British officers and soldiers surrounded by the Japanese, which also caused a sensation in the world.
In the anti-Japanese era, Xue Yue and Sun Liren were very powerful generals, so that the Japanese saw the strength of the Chinese soldiers, but there was a person's name, as long as the Japanese army heard it, it would tremble. Who is he? He is Wang Yaowu, the general of our country. At that time, there was a saying among the Japanese world's armies, "I'd rather touch the King of Yama than the old king."" The old king here refers to General Wang Yaowu. As long as the Japanese fight and meet him, there is only one way to die.
After the outbreak of the All-Out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Yaowu was appointed commander of the 51st Division, and he personally led the troops to participate in the famous Battle of Songhu, and after the war, the 51st Division was combined with the 58th Division to form the 74th Army, with Yu Ji as the first commander at that time, and Wang Yaowu as the second commander. Since Wang Yaowu became a military commander, this unit has been trained by him to become an anti-Japanese force. It can be called the elite of the national army. Prior to this, he also led the 51st Division in the Defense of Nanjing, the Battle of Lanfeng and the Battle of Wanjialing.
In the Battle of Wanjialing, he personally led his subordinates to fight with the Japanese for several weeks, killed a total of 4,000 Japanese troops, and won the victory of Wanjialing, and in the records of the battles with the Japanese army, Wang Yaowu had almost no record of defeat, which was also a very rare phenomenon among the generals of the Nationalist army. In June 1939, Wang Yaowu officially became the commander of the 74th Army.
In the spring of 1941, Wang Yaowu led his troops to fight the Japanese army in Shanggao, Jiangxi. This time, the encirclement tactics were used to encircle the Japanese army within a small area. After the war, at least 12,000 Japanese troops were killed, inflicting heavy damage on Japan. It was precisely because of his courageous and strategic tactics that he became a more terrifying presence in the eyes of the Japanese than Yama.
