He graduated from a famous school, held the ace of the Nationalist army, accepted the surrender of the Japanese army, and later became a prisoner of our army
During the revolutionary period of the last century, our army's weapons and equipment were always relatively backward, and it was only better in the War of Liberation. The weapons of the nationalist army are much more sophisticated, especially some of the main forces are all German or American weapons, and the combat effectiveness is very strong.
The new 22nd Division was one of them, the division commander was Liao Yaoxiang, and later the new 22nd Division, the 14th Division, and the 50th Division were combined into the New 6th Army, with Liao Yaoxiang as the commander, the New Sixth Army shining on the anti-Japanese battlefield, and Liao Yaoxiang also accepted the surrender of the Japanese army.
The military experts of the Republic of China spoke highly of Liao Yaoxiang, saying that he was the most powerful Hunan soldier, not only a gentleman but also a patriotic general, and he was determined to serve the country after he joined the army.
As a general, he was very qualified, courageous and strategic, trustworthy in his words, strict in his management of the army, and became famous in the Battle of Kunlun Pass. At that time, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese 5th Division attacked Kunlun Pass, and Liao Yaoxiang led the 22nd Division to block it with all its strength.
The Japanese army's weapons were sophisticated, and the advantages were obvious, but Liao Yaoxiang was not afraid at all, and became the winner of this battle, eliminating more than 4,000 Japanese troops in the first battle and killing the Japanese brigade commander.
During the Liberation War, Liao Yaoxiang led the New Sixth Army to land from Huludao, Liaoning Province, into the northeast battlefield, and was invincible all the way, bringing no small obstacle to the Northeast Democratic United Army.
The New 22nd Division is the Tiger Division of the Ace Army of the New 6th Army, and the chairman and Lin Zong have always wanted to concentrate their superior forces to eliminate it, but they have never had a chance.
During the Liaoshen Campaign, Liao Yaoxiang commanded the battle at the front, and his suggestion was correct, but old Jiang did not listen and ordered him to support Jinzhou. Liao Yaoxiang had a premonition that it was not a good idea to rush to Jinzhou' aid, and there might be no return.
However, he was a soldier who had to obey the order and had to go to support Jinzhou, so he was stopped in Montenegro, and then surrounded and annihilated by our army, and more than 100,000 troops were lost, and the commander of the corps, Liao Yaoxiang, was captured by our army.
Liao Yaoxiang is a person who dares to say and dare to do, he is a straight man, when asked why he failed, he said that his superiors were too incompetent. Liao Yaoxiang's military ability is no problem, and the defeat can only be said to be the indiscriminate command of old Chiang Kai-shek.
Liao Yaoxiang was a highly qualified student who graduated from a famous school, and his military level was very good; our army attached great importance to him; after the establishment of the Nanjing Military Academy, our army also specially invited him to become a teacher at the military academy and teach military knowledge.
During a lecture, a general of our army asked a question: Liao Yaoxiang could have attacked Montenegro in one fell swoop, but in the end he did not fight it, and the whole army was destroyed.
Liao Yaoxiang was a witness, and he thought for a while and said that when the military's heart was scattered, its combat effectiveness naturally declined, and no matter how much it fought, it would not be able to defeat the People's Liberation Army, which had a strong cohesion.
