Although Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest for most of his life, his life was not bitter at all, because he took away the wealth of the entire northeast, in addition to the companionship of beautiful people like Zhao Si. On the contrary, there was a general of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although he killed countless enemies on the battlefield, but in his later years in Taiwan, he should have lived and worked in peace and contentment, but he was reduced to renting a house, and even had no ability to pay the rent, and he was also accused of going to court at the age of a hundred years.
In fact, this general was none other than Xue Yue, who had made great contributions in the Battle of Changsha. Relevant information shows that during the entire Period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, for the Nationalist Army, the Japanese devils who died under his hands were the most, and at that time, every time the Japanese devils sent out their troops, as long as they heard that the general of the Nationalist army opposite was Xue Yue, they would be afraid, because the Battle of Changsha had already beaten them with shadows.
In fact, his starting point was still very high, he joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party at the age of 18, and became one of the three major battalion commanders under Sun Yat-sen in his 20s, the other two being Zhang Fakui and Ye Ting. Although his promotion speed has always lagged behind Zhang Fakui, the achievements he has achieved on the battlefield of Changsha are simply not comparable to Zhang Fakui.
Although the Nationalist army was ultimately defeated in the fourth battle, from the perspective of the entire campaign, the Nationalist army had achieved the expected strategic objectives, and the Number of Japanese soldiers killed by his troops reached 117,500. In recent years, with the film and television dramas with related themes being pushed to the screen, his original "Heavenly Furnace Combat Method" is also familiar to everyone.
Because of his outstanding military achievements, President Truman was alarmed and personally awarded him the "Medal of Freedom" in recognition of his contributions to the Eastern Battlefield. Naturally, after old Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to be satisfied, he also presented him with the "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun" and conferred on him the "First Rank General of the Army", which was the highest honor that the Nationalist Army could provide.
However, as he left the battlefield due to injury, he gradually faded out of the historical stage for this reason, of course, there is a very important reason, that is, he is not willing to fight a civil war for the old Chiang, so Jiang does not take him to heart. Although Xue Yue was also taken with him when he retreated to Taiwan, in fact, Jiang just did not want him to be used by New China.
Old Jiang only gave him some flashy honors, and in his old age, his housing subsidies were canceled. By 1993, he was already a centenarian, and he was actually sued in court, on the grounds that he could not pay the rent for a long time! Such a hero of the War of Resistance who had been fighting for half his life was humiliated in his twilight years, and no matter how much he told, in addition to bitterness, he was helpless!
