In the course of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Communist Party of China absolutely played the most important role, but because our Party had limited conditions, backward weapons and equipment, and lack of financial resources, its final victory had a lot to do with the efforts of the Kuomintang at that time!
In this way, when it comes to the achievements of the Kuomintang army during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xue Yue and Sun Liren must have been the first to be thought of by the people at that time, and the two had their own characteristics in combat, strategizing on the battlefield, and being resourceful and courageous.
As everyone knows, the first person in the final voting result was Wang Yaowu, who led the 74th Army!
Young and bumpy, outstanding and appreciated
Wang Yaowu was born in 1904 to a poor family in Tai'an, Shandong Province, his parents died early, and after working in a workshop in the same village for a while, Wang Yaowu went to Tianjin alone.
Because he didn't want to live in this small village all his life, he wanted to get ahead with his own efforts.
In 1922, by chance, Wang Yaowu began to enter the night school, and Wang Yaowu came into contact with many advanced ideas, and patriotism was immediately triggered.
With his own efforts, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy in 1924, but at that time, during the period of revolutionary turmoil, Wang Yaowu's second year of school was destroyed by the warlords, and he had to suspend his studies.
On October 1, 1925, the National Revolutionary Army launched a counter-offensive, and Wang Yaowu was indignant in his heart, because the tyranny of the warlord destroyed him, leaving him with no education, so he resolutely decided
target
Joined the counter-offensive.
The first time others went to the battlefield, they were frightened and trembling, but Wang Yaowu was not afraid at all, and the war broke out.
He was a pioneer, carrying a gun and rushing upwards, fighting the enemy to the death, and his bravery was incomparable.
After the war, Wang Yaowu was awarded the Medal of Honor for meritorious service, and Chiang Kai-shek noticed the young man.
In 1926, Wang Yaowu successfully graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and in the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to engage the Japanese army head-on, he took the initiative to attack, and finally won a complete victory.
These deeds made Chiang Kai-shek look at him with astonishment.
Chiang Kai-shek understood that Wang Yao had a strong spirit in his heart not to accept defeat, and if he cultivated carefully, he would certainly be able to make great achievements in the future
。 Therefore, he was officially made the head of the Kuomintang reserve regiment.
Highly valued, outstanding achievements
In 1930, in the Great War of the Central Plains, Wang Yaowu, as the leader of the reserve regiment, led the soldiers of the reserve regiment to strictly guard against death, soft and hard, forced the enemy to be defeated, and captured the strategic place in one fell swoop.
After this battle, Wang Yaowu became famous in one fell swoop and became the ace general of the Kuomintang army.
In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, and at first, the Japanese, relying on advanced weapons and equipment, won successive victories, giving our Party members and the Kuomintang troops a head-on blow, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
However, Wang Yaowu just didn't believe in this evil, that is, he didn't accept defeat, and the 600,000 troops of the nationalist army could not defeat the hundreds of thousands of japanese people!
Wang Yaowu personally explored the terrain, skillfully used the terrain to create an extremely powerful war environment for himself, and then adopted roundabout tactics, took the initiative to attack, surrounded the point to help, and within a few days, he damaged tens of thousands of japanese troops
。 The 74th Division under the leadership of Wang Yaowu also successfully became an example for other nationalist troops to learn from, and many soldiers came to visit, and soon the 74th Division expanded into the 74th Army.
In 1938, the Japanese Doihara army attacked strongly, and no one in the national army asked for a battle.
After Wang Yaowu learned the news, he did not hesitate to lead the 74th Army to reach an important checkpoint node in advance to set up an ambush, and by surprise, the tactics were changeable, and it easily damaged a large number of troops of the Tufeiyuan army.
In just a few hours, the 74th Army led by Wang Yaowu annihilated most of the enemy and captured thousands of enemy soldiers. In the subsequent wars, Wang Yaowu also made a series of outstanding achievements.
Try to overcome the consensus, and finally have to settle down
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, some people organized voting activities for famous anti-Japanese generals, and Wang Yaowu overtook Xue Yue and Sun Liren and others with an overwhelming advantage.
These votes were not groundless and empty, and Wang Yaowu did what many others did not dare to do, winning a war that many people could not bear.
After the end of the Liberation War, Wang Yaowu was pardoned and also attended important meetings of the CPC Central Committee as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
Many people are very puzzled by this, why our party should give this to a former general of the national army
right
And the honor! Opposition rose and fell.
The reason why the central leaders did this was very simple; Unlike other KmT figures, Wang Yaowu was not discerning in his heart; he had served in the KMT for many years, and he was well aware of the darkness and decay within the KMT, and the people's hearts were fearful.
But the Communist Party and the Kuomintang presented a completely different picture.
He knew very well that if New China were to be subject to the Kuomintang in the future
Rights
Only by following the Communist Party will China's tomorrow be full of sunshine.
During the Liberation War, Wang Yaowu was in charge of guarding Jinan, with hundreds of thousands of nationalist troops under his command, and all the weapons were well-equipped, but when General Dang Suyu led our army to arrive, he did not expend a lot of effort and took Jinan.
If it were not for Wang Yaowu's deliberate actions, our army would have had to sacrifice the lives of many innocent soldiers in exchange for victory on the battlefield of Jinan!
conclusion:
In the turmoil of the world, Wang Yaowu took the wrong side at the beginning of the revolution.
But there is nothing wrong with the firm ideal in his heart, he knows the great righteousness, he distinguishes between right and wrong,
Therefore, after the founding of New China, he was able to be pardoned by the party and finally enjoy his old age in peace, which is also deserved!
