Zhang Lingfu is the commander of the reorganized 74th Division of the Nationalist Army, the reorganized 74th Division, is one of the five main forces of the Nationalist Army, the whole division of more than 32,000 people, fully Equipped with American equipment, with a variety of mountain artillery, mortars and other heavy weapons, and the soldiers are also veterans who have participated in many battles, this division, can be described as strong and strong, but in the Battle of Menglianggu, the whole division of the reorganized 74th Division was destroyed, and the division commander Zhang Lingfu was also killed.
Su Yu, the main commander of the Menglianggu Campaign, learned that Zhang Lingfu had been killed and ordered a thick burial.
When Chiang Kai-shek heard in Nanjing that the reorganized 74th Division had been completely destroyed, he was furious and disregarded the faces of the generals, and immediately raised his cane and hit him with blood, and this general was Zhang Lingfu's superior, Tang Enbo.
Tang Enbo was Chiang Kai-shek's concubine, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Tang Enbo led his troops to participate in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Liyi, etc., and made great achievements, and the Japanese army in North China at that time regarded Tang Enbo as the number one enemy of Tianzi.
Shortly after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek promoted Tang Enbo to the rank of general, and in early 1947, Chiang Kai-shek was transferred to Shandong with 24 integrated divisions and 60 brigades of about 450,000, and decided to carry out a key attack on our Shandong Liberated Area, which were divided into 3 mobile corps, of which Tang Enbo was the commander of the First Corps, and Zhang Lingfu's reorganized 74th Division was in Tang Enbo's First Corps.
Zhang Lingfu is a very stubborn person, he is a Huangpu IV student, in the anti-Japanese period, played his own name, the old boss wang Yaowu, the former commander of the 74th Army, is very favorable to him, reused him many times, before and after the end of the War of Resistance, Zhang Lingfu has been promoted to the commander of the 74th Army.
As an anti-Japanese iron army, Zhang Lingfu naturally had the ability to be proud of the 74th Army, but his nature was too stubborn, although he was a military commander, but many times, he did not listen to the orders of his superiors, and only obeyed the words of Chiang Kai-shek, the chairman of the committee, and this kind of character eventually led him to ruin.
In March 1947, Tang Enbo was ordered to lead the First Corps to attack the Liberated Areas, and in the face of the enemy's strong weapons and equipment, our Shandong People's Liberation Army chose to detour, and Tang Enbo quickly followed up, successively occupying Laiwu, Mengyin, Heyang and other places.
At this time, Zhang Lingfu thought that the plaster was too different from the troops he led, so he decided to lead the army to go deep alone and engage in a "central blossoming" tactic.
Although Zhang Lingfu was assigned to Tang Enbo's first corps, he had never heard Tang Enbo's words, and this time was no exception, the first important position of a soldier was to obey orders, and now, as Zhang Lingfu's superior, he could not command him, and Tang Enbo was very dissatisfied with him.
Later, Zhang Lingfu's lone army left the large army and advanced rapidly, and when Su Yu of the People's Liberation Army learned of it, he decided to seize the opportunity to completely annihilate the reorganized 74th Division.
Su Yu immediately ordered that the reorganized 74th Division should be eliminated at all costs, and as the battle deepened, Zhang Lingfu was a little panicked, and later, he asked for assistance from the brother troops around him, and Tang Enbo had a grudge against Zhang Lingfu, so he did not order rescue in time.
Later, Zhang Lingfu directly sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and wanted to send someone to support himself; when Chiang Kai-shek learned of this, he urged Tang Enbo to send troops to support him, and when he got the telegram from old Chiang, Tang Enbo only sent troops to support him, but halfway through, he heard Li Yannian say that Zhang Lingfu's 74th Division was no longer able to do so, so he gave up the aid.
On May 16, Zhang Lingfu and his reorganized 74th Division defeated Meng Lianggu and destroyed the entire army.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned that the reorganized 74th Division had been completely annihilated, he was furious, and he was so angry that he did not reinforce Tang Enbo in time, and beat him with blood, and then Tang Enbo was dismissed from all posts.
Zhang Lingfu died in battle, it has become a fact, the old Jiang is still inseparable from Tang Enbo, two months later, Tang Enbo returned to office, as the commander-in-chief of the army, after that, Tang Enbo commanded the Nationalist army to carry out the Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Kinmen and so on.
After going to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek gradually stopped reusing Tang Enbo, Tang Enbo also knew so, he once wanted to go to Japan for treatment, but was rejected by Chiang Kai-shek, until 1954, when he was seriously ill, Chiang Kai-shek did not approve, later, he died in a Japanese hospital, for the cause of his death, some people speculated that during the War of Resistance, he beat the Japanese too hard, and the Japanese hospital made a living for him.
However, the real cause of Tombaugh's death is still inconclusive.
After the news of Tang Enbo's death was learned by Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek said four words lightly: It is good to die.
From Chiang Kai-shek's concubine to the estranged strategic adviser to the Presidential Office, Tang Enbo's life was bitter and bitter, and only he knew it, but in history, Tang Enbo's reputation was not good, because he had done the work of betraying his mentor (Chen Yi).
In the early years, Tang Enbo, it was under the care of Chen Yi that he could make his mark, and later Chen Yi wanted to abandon the dark and cast the light, but was betrayed by Tang Enbo and was tragically killed, Tang Enbo had such a fate, perhaps it was also doomed in the dark.
