From lieutenant platoon leader all the way to feudal governor, Wang Yaowu only took twenty years, and his life was full of legends.
If you want to talk about origin and seniority, Wang Yaowu does not have many advantages.
In the early years, Wang Yaowu was a small clerk in the Shanghai Biscuit Factory, and in the business field, Wang Yaowu learned a lot of skills.
He "looks at the four ways and listens to the eight directions", treats people and things in a measured manner, and "eats openly" of the three religions and nine streams.
Wang Yaowu would not have thought at that time that the basic skills of these business fields would be equally applicable to the official field, which would benefit him for life.
In any case, Wang Yaowu is still a soldier in the final analysis, a soldier, and he has to mention his military talent.
Some people commented that he was "sleek and sophisticated", a "powerful man", and he rose to a high position with the help of He Yingqin and Yu Jishi;
Some people also said that although he was born in the "grassroots", he was born as a piece of general's "material".
In any case, as a Huangpu Iii student, Wang Yaowu's qualifications are definitely not as good as the "seniors" of the first phase, but his promotion speed and promotion height are not inferior at all.
Among the huangpu phase III students, Wang Yaowu was even more "all the way to the dust" and could not find an opponent.
In the "Yihuang Defense Battle", Wang Yaowu showed his unusual military talents for the first time, because of his outstanding performance, Wang Yaowu was directly promoted to the rank of brigade commander of the supplementary brigade and promoted to the rank of major general.
Since then, Wang Yaowu's military rank and rank have always been higher than his Huangpu Iii classmates, known as the "Huangpu III Leader".
What really made Wang Yaowu famous was during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The 74th Army was formed during the Battle of Songhu, when Wang Yaowu was the commander of the 51st Division.
When Yu Jishi, commander of the 74th Army, was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, almost everyone did not expect that the new commander would actually be Wang Yaowu.
According to the practice of the Nationalist army to "discuss seniority and seniority", the 58th Division had several big brothers in the first and second phases of Huangpu, and the 58th Division was an old unit of Yu Jishi.
Therefore, everyone believes that the new commander must be from the 58th Division.
Unexpectedly, Yu Jishi not only did not do this, but also took away several "old qualifications" before leaving, paving the way for Wang Yaowu to "take office as a new official".
Wang Yaowu He De He Neng, how to make Yu Jishi so heavy and loving, analyze it, nothing more than the following factors:
First of all, Yu Jishi believed that Wang Yaowu had the talent to govern the army.
The 74th Army was a unit built by himself, and Yu Jishi would never hand it over to a "mediocre talent";
Secondly, Wang Yaowu "long-sleeved good dance" and established an unusual relationship of trust with Yu Jishi.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Yaowu and his 74th Army became an anti-Japanese brigade, and there has always been a saying that Wang Yaowu and the 74th Army participated in almost all large-scale battles.
This is true, under the leadership of Wang Yaowu, the 74th Army is getting stronger and stronger, and Wang Yaowu is hard to build a second-rate unit into an ace unit.
The Great Victory of Wanjialing, the Battle of Shanggao, the Battle of Changsha, the Defense of Changde, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army was heroic and tenacious, and made great achievements in battle.
In the winter of 1944, Wang Yaowu was promoted again to the commander of the 24th Group Army and became the commander of the Fourth Front.
In this way, Wang Yaowu was on an equal footing with Lu Han, Tang Enbo, Zhang Fakui and other veteran Kuomintang generals, who were not yet 40 years old at the time.
The following year, taking advantage of the victory at Xuefeng Mountain, Wang Yaowu became a member of the Executive Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee.
At this time, Wang Yaowu's limelight has overwhelmed most of the Huangpu students, and the students of the huangpu phase III can only "look at their backs" and sigh to themselves.
During the Liberation War, Wang Yaowu was sent to Shandong by Chiang Kai-shek and became a feudal official who combined the power of the "party, government, and army."
Wang Yaowu can be promoted from a second lieutenant to a feudal official in 20 years, and his emotional intelligence and IQ are absolutely good.
However, it was here that Wang Yaowu began to take the "downhill road", and "fell to the end", and there was no chance of "overturning".
There are two key figures who led to this ending.
One was his opponent, General Su Yu, commander of the People's Liberation Army Huaye;
The other was Chiang Kai-shek, who had "cultivated and promoted" Wang Yaowu.
In the eyes of General Su Yu, Wang Yaowu was a senior Kuomintang general who "knew how to fight and could fight."
General Su Yu's evaluation of him should be very pertinent.
At that time, the East China Field Army led by Su Yu caused headaches for the Kuomintang generals.
This is because Su Yu never plays cards according to common sense, and you can never guess how he will play or where he will play.
Wang Yaowu did not break this "spell", and he was defeated more than once by the hands of General Su Yu.
The reason for Wang Yaowu's failure has nothing to do with Chiang Kai-shek.
Among the senior Kuomintang generals, Wang Yaowu was unique in analyzing the battlefield situation and deploying the battle situation, and had his own unique views.
However, his opinions were repeatedly not adopted by Chiang Kai-shek.
For example, in the Battle of Laiwu, Chiang Kai-shek planned to attack the People's Liberation Army from north to south, but HuaYe's countermeasure was to avoid the enemy's front and fight in the south and the north, with the intention of encircling and annihilating the relatively weak Li Xianzhou Corps.
General Su Yu's strategy confused Chen Cheng, but Wang Yaowu kept a clear head, and he hurriedly ordered Li Xianzhou's army to stop moving south and defend on the spot.
However, Chen Cheng, holding the "token" given by Chiang Kai-shek, directly ordered Li Xianzhou's corps to continue southwards and sent Li Xianzhou's corps into the pockets arranged by General Su Yu.
Under Chiang Kai-shek's high pressure, Wang Yaowu could only swallow his breath and watch as Li Xianzhou was wiped out.
Coincidentally, in the Battle of Jinan, Wang Yaowu encountered the same problem.
Wang Yaowu suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that Jinan should be abandoned, believing that Jinan was an isolated city with no danger to defend, and it was better to shrink south and compete with Su Yu's army in Xuzhou.
However, Chiang Kai-shek once again rejected Wang Yaowu's proposal, and in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, it was of great political significance to hold Jinan.
Wang Yaowu stated his opinion several times, but finally angered Chiang Kai-shek and stopped paying attention to him.
Although Wang Yaowu was unwilling, but the "Holy Will" was like this, he had no choice but to stick to Jinan.
The later facts were not what Wang Yaowu expected, and in just 8 days, the city of Jinan was conquered, and Wang Yaowu himself became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army.
At the "Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center" in Beijing, Wang Yaowu was able to calm down, and he repeated several times on the homemade sand table and came to a very confident conclusion:
If the "old man" had heeded his advice, the war might not have ended so badly.
However, when the news of the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea reached the "Gong Delin," Wang Yaowu, a "man who understood," thoroughly understood a truth:
Once a government and an army lose the hearts and minds of the people and go against the will of the people, the final result will be failure.
