The history inn yesterday introduced Lieutenant General Li Benyi of the Nationalist Army, although he was a well-known anti-Japanese general, but because of his murderous nature, he killed many innocent ordinary people, so after being captured by our army, although our army has always treated prisoners preferentially, he was still executed by shooting because the people's anger was too great.
In fact, Li Benyi was not the only senior general of the Nationalist army who was shot, he had the same experience as Wu Tinglin.
If you want to find a person from the Kuomintang camp who has been branded as a warlord, Wu Tinglin can be regarded as a typical representative.
As early as the Xinhai Revolution, Wu Tinglin defected to the door of Zhao Jiao, the overseer of Henan, and joined the army. Because Wu Tinglin had gone to school, was one of the few literate in the army, and had previously been a student in the model regiment and knew the rules of the army, he quickly rose among the warlords of Henan and began a decades-long warlord career.
In order to make the troops into his own personal armed forces, Wu Tinglin really did everything to the extreme, just take his two nephews Wu Liangshan and Wu Liangzi, who only symbolically trained in the army for a few days after graduation, and then directly promoted to regimental commander.
There is also his youngest son, Wu Liangyuan, who was successively sent to the Whampoa Military Academy and the Army University, and after graduation, he was naturally promoted one after another, soaring into The Yellow Tengda.
What is even more ridiculous is that in order to show the uniqueness of his troops, Wu Tinglin also changed the names of all three characters in the troops to two words, for example, if you were originally called Cao Yunjin, you can only be called Cao Jin, not three words.
Of course, these are still just a bit of a strange approach, and what Wu Tinglin really makes people spurn is that his killing is like hemp.
Since the beginning of Wu Tinglin's entry into the army, the principle of leading soldiers is to "kill Li Wei".
As early as the autumn of 1929, Wu Tinglin was ordered to go to the junction of Hebei and Luyu to suppress bandits, and under the unfavorable circumstances of the division, Wu Tinglin personally led a heavy army to encircle and suppress, and all the villages that passed, the young and middle-aged were almost arrested, as long as he looked unpleasant, he was executed on the spot!
What is even more frightening is that Wu Tinglin is still enjoying it, it is said that once at dinner, surrounded by innocent villagers, others are difficult to swallow, only Wu Tinglin ate with taste, and the degree of his fierceness can be seen, so the Henan people gave him a nickname - "King of Wuyan".
During the war with the Red Army, Wu Tinglin was also a notorious executioner, directing the tragedy of "killing, burning, and robbing the light" in the Dabie Mountains. According to statistics, in the 1930 Dabie Mountain sweep, Wu Tinglin's troops killed the most people.
However, it was this murderous executioner who, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, also played a Chinese bloody nature, especially in the Defense of Luoyang, Wu Tinglin, then commander of the 15th Army, led 18,000 people to hold luoyang city, and in the case of isolation and helplessness, it held out for 21 days, and finally caused the Japanese army to lose more than 20,000 people!
During this period, Rikou repeatedly promised the high-ranking official Houlu to lure Wu Tinglin down, but wu Tinglin was turned away, until finally Luoyang City was completely lost, and Wu Tinglin chose to break through.
The Battle of Luoyang City did play the prestige of the Chinese soldiers, and to be fair, Wu Tinglin's performance this time was still commendable.
Of course, the merits of the Anti-Japanese War could not offset his crimes of wantonly slaughtering and causing harm to one side, not to mention that after the victory of the War of Resistance, Wu Tinglin actively threw himself into the civil war and continued to do evil.
On November 4, 1947, Wu Tinglin was captured by Zhou Xihan under Chen Geng.
Interestingly, just when he was about to lose the army, the nephews who had been promoted by him had slipped away, and even his son Wu Liangyuan abandoned him, took all the family's property and fled to Shanghai.
To be such a rebellious person is really deserved!
Moreover, because of the crimes committed by Wu Tinglin, the people were extremely indignant, and he was eventually sentenced to death and sent to Henan to be shot.
