How strong is Hu Lian fighting? The bodies of the two armies piled up on a mountain, annihilating 20,000 Japanese troops
Introduction: In 1941, the Japanese army concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops to attack western Hubei, and they wanted to fight the Kuomintang army to the death here. Chiang Kai-shek was cowardly, and he was well aware of the gap in combat effectiveness between the two armies, so he always avoided it. At this time, Hu Lian, commander of the Kuomintang 11th Division, took the initiative to step forward. He led his troops to block the enemy. The Japanese army and Hu Lian fought in Shipai, facing several times the enemy, Hu Lian showed tenacious perseverance. Hu Lian had patriotic feelings, he knew the importance of the strategic importance of Western Hubei, and he would not allow Western Hubei to be lost in his own hands.
After Hu Lian entered the war, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to send troops to support him, and the Battle of Western Hubei officially began. Most of the Kuomintang troops did not dare to confront the Japanese army head-on, they blamed each other, and you were in charge. Such an army did not have much cohesion at all, and although the Kuomintang had more troops than the Japanese army, it was always defeated repeatedly. The Japanese seized on this feature of the Kuomintang army, and they divided and annihilated, which caused heavy losses to the Kuomintang army.
In May of the same year, tens of thousands of Japanese troops surrounded the Huang Wei Corps. Huang Wei's troops struggled to support, but it was difficult to resist the crazy bite of the Japanese army. Other Kuomintang troops fled in full swing, and the entire war situation in western Hubei became a pot of porridge. Hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops were about to fall apart. At this time, Hu Lian saw that the situation was not right, so he led his troops to actively support Huang Wei's corps. Hu Lian issued a generous declaration, and he was determined to achieve victory on the battlefield. When the soldiers saw Hu Lian so fearless, everyone was deeply affected.
The 11th Division originally had strong combat effectiveness, and after Hu Lian's inspiration, the soldiers were even more morale-boosting. The 11th Division hurriedly inserted into the Japanese army, and they desperately sniped at the Japanese army, cutting off the retreat route of 20,000 Japanese troops. Then, Hu Lian and Huang Weili joined forces and ate the 20,000 Japanese troops. You know, at that time, the vanguard of the Japanese army had heavy weapons, and there were Japanese aircraft in the sky to continuously support. Hu Lian was able to gnaw down this hard bone, and his fighting methods were admired by everyone. When the Japanese army saw Hu Lian so desperate, they all began to fear Hu Lian's fierce behavior. The Japanese did not dare to rush to attack again, and the fleeing Kuomintang troops were able to leave time for respite. In this way, Hu Lian not only eliminated 20,000 elite Japanese troops, but also preserved the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang.
Conclusion: Among the Kuomintang generals, Hu Lian was one of the few powerful factions. Hu Lian's own cultural level is solid, and his military command ability has also won the admiration of the generals of our army. After the success of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Hu Lian was promoted to a first-class general in the Kuomintang Army. During the Liberation War, Hu Lian led the 18th Army, one of the five aces of the Kuomintang. The East China Field Army concentrated its heavy troops, but it did not get too much bargain on Hu Lian. In the end, after we surrounded Hu Lian, we eliminated Hu Lian's 18th Army.
