Huang Tao was a famous anti-Japanese general.
Huang Tao was born in 1900 in Baoling, Guangdong, and when he was 18 years old, when Tang Jiyao, the overseer of Yunnan, recruited overseas Chinese students, he pretended to be overseas Chinese students to join the army in Kunming, and then entered the 15th session of the Yunnan Daowutang to study. Later, he successively served in the Guangdong Army and the Yu Han Mou Department, during which he once went to Germany, France and other countries to study, and before the outbreak of the War of Resistance, he was promoted to the commander of the 157th Division of the 4th Route Army of the Nationalist Army, stationed in southern Fujian.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in full swing, Huang Tao reached an agreement with our southern guerrillas to cooperate in resisting the enemy, thus accepting the idea of the anti-Japanese national united front.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Huang Tao's remarkable battles in the anti-Japanese battlefield were:
I. In July 1938, he launched a campaign to retake Nan'ao Island, and they fought in Nan'ao for more than 20 days, annihilating more than 500 enemy troops and fighting the first battle of the Anti-Japanese War in Guangdong, and he was also promoted to the commander of the 62nd Army at the expense of this battle.
Second, in December 1939, he led the 62nd Army to participate in the First Battle of Northern Guangdong, in which Huang Tao applied the tactic of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", you want Qujiang, I pound Guangzhou. They successfully ambushed the Japanese army that was preparing to attack Qujiang and had to return to Defend Guangzhou, killing, wounding, and capturing a total of 13,966 Japanese troops in this battle, which was the famous first victory in northern Guangdong, and Huang Tao was also promoted and commended.
Third, in June 1940, he led his troops to participate in the Second Battle of Northern Guangdong, they were responsible for intercepting the Japanese troops who invaded Liangkou and Niubei Ridge, and after two days and nights of fierce fighting, annihilated more than 1,900 Japanese troops, burned more than 10 enemy heavy vehicles, and captured a batch of materials. The 62nd Army recovered the oxback ridge and cut off the enemy's communication line, one of the enemy's troops hurriedly retreated to the south, the other moved north, the Japanese army had to flee back to Guangzhou, and the Japanese army lost more than 6,000 soldiers in this battle.
4. In June 1944, he led the 62nd Army into Xiang and participated in the defense of Hengyang, and they fought fiercely with the enemy in the area of Ma'anshan and Tieguanpu for more than 40 days, and then due to heavy casualties due to the exhaustion of food and ammunition and the xianjue surrender of the Hengyang defenders, Huang Tao had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat west of Xianggui Road.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when Chen Yi, then the education chief of Lu University, sent someone to ask Huang Tao to transfer the 62nd Army to the northeast, Huang Tao said that the 62nd Army was a unit in Guangdong, and everything was not used to going to the northeast. After the end of the War of Resistance, I couldn't think of anything! Later, the 62nd Army was sent to Taiwan to be surrendered.
In May 1946, Old Jiang summoned Huang Tao to Chongqing and said to him, "You don't have to go to Taiwan, and I have already arranged for others to go to the 62nd Army." Later, the 62nd Army was still transferred to the northeast battlefield.
In this way, Huang Tao resigned from the military, demobilized and returned to The Field, returned to Guangzhou, and later went to Hong Kong, during which Zhang Fakui and Yu Hanmou asked him several times to serve as Lieutenant General Gao Gan, but he refused. Later, he was invited to serve as a member and standing committee member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and died on December 17, 1973, at the age of 73.
