We all know that in every war period in our country, there will be a very large number of heroes who have made very significant sacrifices for our country. So what I want to tell you today is that there were five anti-Japanese heroes in Anhui. One of them died, one remained on the mainland, while the other three fled with Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan. These five people are Dai Anlan, Wei Lihuang, Sun Liren, Xu Tingyao, and Fang Xianjue.
First, Dai Anlan
Dai Anlan is a native of Anhui, he is a division commander of the 200th Division, and he is also a very good figure. However, when they entered the Burma War, for many reasons, they were unfortunately besieged by the Japanese army on the way back. Since Dai Annan's 200th Division was tasked with protecting the evacuation of Du Luming, the commander of the Fifth Army, dai annan was surrounded by Japanese troops on the way, although he and his 200th division struggled to break through, but in the process, Dai Anlan was unfortunately seriously injured.
Although Dai Anlan's men tried their best to save Dai Anlan, because he was seriously injured, he eventually died and died within the burmese realm. At that time, Dai Anlan was only 38 years old, and such an excellent soldier passed away. In the war era, which originally lacked generals, in terms of the background at that time, Dai Anlan's sacrifice was indeed a pity!
2. Wei Lihuang
Wei Lihuang was also a native of Anhui, a general close to Chiang Kai-shek, and he was also very brave and good at war. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, his contribution was also very great, but when the War of Resistance Against Japan was won, the War of Liberation that followed was followed.
Wei Lihuang was reluctant to turn his gun on his compatriots at home, but because of this he was suspected by Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek not only monitored him from all sides, but also weakened his rights, and Wei Lihuang had no choice but to flee to Hong Kong for temporary refuge!
It was not until after the end of the War of Liberation that Chiang Kai-shek was forced to flee to Taiwan. Wei Lihuang was able to return to the mainland, and because of his outstanding ability, he also held several important positions in our country. It was not until 1960 that Wei Lihuang died. He is the only comrade who remained on the mainland among the five anhui anti-Japanese famous generals mentioned above, and he should also be regarded as the best and luckiest of these five famous generals.
3. Sun Liren
Sun Liren was also one of five famous anti-Japanese generals in Anhui. He also participated in the war in Burma, and although the first time ended in defeat, he still won the victory and rescued many British comrades. Because of this, he has also become famous in the world! However, for various reasons, Sun Liren was sent to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek to be responsible for the training of new recruits, which was indeed a little overkill for such an excellent general.
Later, however, after Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Taiwan, he put Sun Liren under house arrest for spurious reasons. As a result, Sun Liren lived under house arrest for decades. He was not released until his twilight years, but he died of illness two years after he regained his freedom! What a pity it is for a person who is so capable that he was put under house arrest and let his talents not be displayed, presumably Sun Liren also had a very big regret when he died?
4. Xu Tingyao
Xu Tingyao was a fellow countryman with Dai Anlan in front of him, but the difference was that he was preparing for a very powerful mechanized force. Moreover, his mechanized troops achieved very great victories in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and they also played a great role.
However, in 1949, after Chiang Kai-shek withdrew to Taiwan, he also followed him to Taiwan, after which he was appointed deputy chief and retired soon after. Therefore, Xu Tingyao is basically in a relatively leisure life in Taiwan, and he is far away from the troubles of war, so why not be a kind of luck?
Fifth, Fang Xianjue
Fang Xian felt that the contribution might not be as great as the previous generals. But what was very touching was that he had held Hengyang for more than a month, and during this month, he successfully blocked the Japanese attack, although in the end Hengyang still fell.
However, his heroic deeds were remembered by everyone, and although Fang Xianjue fled to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek did not reuse him, which made Fang Xianjue very disappointed. So soon after, he was depressed and died of illness!
Summary: The above will tell you about the many famous generals who appeared during the War of Resistance Against Japan, five famous generals in Anhui. Although one of them died, his heroic deeds were engraved in the minds of the warriors and in the long stream of history.
The next four famous players all have their own different endings, there are sorrows and joys, but this is their life. In our minds, they are still the anti-Japanese heroes who fought for the country, and their deeds will always exist in the long river of our country's history!
