Among the generals of the Whampoa department of the National Army, not all of them are mediocre, and there will be many brilliant generals in each issue. Of course, if we want to say that it plays a mainstay role in the national army, we still have to say that the first phase of the gathering of generals. Although the number of graduates was at least 600 in total, every one of them was a tough general in the nationalist army, and Du Yuming, Song Xilian, Zheng Dongguo, Hu Zongnan, Huang Wei, Gui Yongqing, Fan Hanjie, and so on were all senior officers at or above the corps level in the Liberation War. However, among these people, in addition to Du Yuming, who has the highest command art, may be guan Linzheng, a tiger general who is known as "Guan Datou".
However, why did this fierce general of the Nationalist army, who had made the most of the limelight in the early days of the Great Revolution and the War of Resistance, be sent to the rear during the Liberation War and disappeared?

Tiger general Guan Linzheng
Guan Linzheng, like Hu Lian, Du Yuming, and others, was a Shaanxi native who came to Guangdong from the north to participate in the Great Revolution. Guan Linzheng, who grew up in a depressed family, believed that only by eating food when he was a soldier could he get ahead, so by chance, with the help of his friend Deng Yumei, who was also a lieutenant general in the national army, he was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy. Guan Linzheng in the military academy, like many cold disciples, trained hard, coupled with the fact that he had a lot of strength, and soon the reputation of "Guan Datou" spread among his classmates.

Like the first battle of the promotion of the student soldiers in the same period, Guan Linzheng served as the platoon leader of the assault platoon in Chen Jiongming's campaign, leading the troops as a death squad to the head of the rebel city. Guan Linzheng, who was wounded in battle, was also appreciated by Lao Jiang, and after returning from his wounds, he joined the nationalist gendarmerie unit as a battalion commander, which was a fat difference. Moreover, in the suppression of the Nanchang workers' demonstration in 1927, Guan Linzheng did not exert any effort, but he was stopped by Zhu Laozong, who was in Nanchang at the time, and Guan Linzheng's troops surrendered their weapons, and could only flee from Nanchang in a hurry.
What is even worse is that after Guan Linzheng returned to Guangzhou, he happened to encounter the Ning-Han dispute, and He Yingqin, who betrayed old Chiang, wanted to lay off the army, and Guan Linzheng was also here. Soon, Guan Linzheng, who was not willing to fail, tangled with his classmates and began to protest, and got the support of Old Jiang, which was also a key step for Guan Linzheng to truly enter the old Jiang family.

After the old Jiang gained power, Guan Linzheng and other Huangpu departments also rose in the water. At the end of 1928, Guan Linzheng was promoted to brigade commander of the 32nd Brigade, and within a few months he was promoted to deputy commander of the 5th Division (the predecessor of the famous Fifth Army), when he was only 25 years old. Later, although he was demoted to brigade commander due to mutiny among his subordinates, in 1932, Guan Linzheng led his troops to win many battles when encircling and suppressing the Red Army, and his fourth brigade was promoted to the 25th Division, which became Guan Linzheng's starting unit, and there were two compatriots in the team, Zhang Yaoming and Du Yuming.

When the commander of the division Guan Linzheng had no time to celebrate, the Great Wall Resistance Broke out, the 25th Division was transferred to Xu Tingyao to the Great Wall to fight with the Japanese army, in the battle, Guan Linzheng's 25th Division repeatedly repelled the Japanese attack, and even recklessly came up he also led the charge, but he was still injured by the Japanese artillery fire, and finally had to get off the line of fire, and because of his bravery in battle, he was also awarded the "Blue Sky and White Sun" medal. Six years later, at the Battle of Taierzhuang, Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army (the 25th Division was expanded) provided timely support and defeated the Japanese Isoya Division. The 52nd Army, which fought bravely after the war, was called the "Iron Army," guan Linzheng himself was also called the "Iron Fist of Guan," and even Chiang Kai-shek, who had always disliked exaggeration, said, "If our army is as strong in combat effectiveness as the 52nd Army, it will not be a problem to defeat the Japanese army." ”
Taierzhuang won the victory and captured Guan Linzheng, which was equipped by the Japanese army
After the War of Resistance Entered a Stalemate Phase, Guan Linzheng successively served as the commander of the 15th Group Army and led his troops to garrison southern Yunnan, including the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. He Yingqin was also appreciated and took control of the 9th Army. During the garrison in the southwest, it has not been able to let the Japanese Kou move forward, it can be said that if this development continues, Guan Linzheng can soon become another Hu Zongnan, and it will not be a problem to serve as a general with real power. However, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was about to be victorious, Guan Linzheng did a very stupid thing, and in the "one-two-one" parade that broke out among the students in Yunnan, he actually shot at the marching masses, and he also said that "students have the freedom to march, and soldiers have the freedom to shoot." This forced him to step down and move to the rear.
121 Kunming Incident
During the Liberation War, when Huangpusheng fought on the battlefield during the same period, Guan Linzheng could only serve as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy in the rear and was gradually forgotten. However, as the Nationalist army lost troops on the front line and lost one after another, Old Chiang thought that this "Guan Tie Fist" wanted him to take command again, but at this time Guan Linzheng had left the front line for a long time, although he was appointed deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the army, but it was only a fictitious post, and what was even more funny was that old Chiang Kai-shek promoted him to commander-in-chief one second, and the next second he did not recognize the account on the grounds that 'Xikou Telephone Warrant was lost", so that Guan Linzheng's final comeback was gone, and he had no choice but to take his wife and daughter to settle in Hong Kong after seeing through old Chiang.

The war of liberation was not reused
In fact, in the 40 years before Guan Lin's conquest, he had always been the banner figure of Huangpu, the first Huangpu student division commander who led the army to participate in the battle against Japan, and the second Huangpu student who served as the commander of the group, and the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army and the great victory of Taierzhuang made its scenery unlimited. But why did it fall so quickly during the Liberation War?
Here Yu Tian Jun summarizes it into the following two points.
First, there is no mountain behind it, no dock that can be relied on.
Guan Lin counted as an alternative in the Huangpu lineage, of course, this is also determined by his status. Most of the Huangpu students would worship the dock and join the faction, Du Yuming had visited Xu Tingyao before, Chen Cheng even had a group of younger brothers forming a "civil engineering department" to warm up together, and there were many people who turned to Tang Enbo, Gu Zhutong and He Yingqin. But Guan Linzheng basically did not turn to others except for his own 52 army system, and in fact, the reason why he had been unwilling to worship the dock was not his own qinggao, perhaps he also wanted to be like his classmate Hu Zongnan, who was self-reliant, but unfortunately, in addition to the basic plan of the 52 army, there were not many people willing to follow him.
The leaders of the various factions of the national army, Guan Linzheng, no one pleased
Therefore, after stepping down in the Kunming case, it was difficult for him to go out of the mountains without a backer, and He Yingqin's relationship with him during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was relaxed, but at this time, He Yingqin had been hollowed out and could not protect him at all. Therefore, when Du Yuming, Zheng Dongguo and others were in full swing in the front line of the Liberation War, Guan Linzheng was teaching at the Whampoa Military Academy and sitting on a cold bench.
Second, emotional intelligence is touching and often offends colleagues.
Of course, another reason why Guan Lin is reluctant to turn to others is because his emotional intelligence is touching, and few people who have basically worked with him will say good things about him. Guan Linzheng has the directness of the Northwest Hanzi in shaanxi people, but if he is too straightforward, he will become speechless and offend people everywhere.
When the 25th Division was the commander of the division, the following brigade commander Du Yuming, although he was his own compatriot, did not get along very well with each other, and Du Yuming, who was honest and honest, was meticulous in his work, and was serious about training, so he often had differences with Guan Linzheng, and over time he was suppressed by Guan Linzheng, and even in the Battle of the Great Wall, it was obvious that Du Yuming was better commanded, but the Qingtian White Sun Medal was obtained by Guan Linzheng, and the angry Du Yuming would rather teach the headquarters to be the leader of an armored regiment than to be the brigade commander of the 25th Division.
Guan Linzheng's sworn enemy Chen Cheng
In addition to Du Yuming, he is no exception to his boss. At that time, Huang Wei and Guan Linzheng had a conflict, mainly Huang Wei reported his greed for ink military salaries, Huang Wei was notoriously honest, generally not to wrongfully accuse people, which also confirmed that Guan Wei could indeed be greedy. However, Huang Wei, who was awe-inspiring in righteousness, let Guan Linzheng wear small shoes and directly remove them from the position of commander of the 54th Army, and after Huang Wei left, Guan Linzheng also had a red face with Chen Chengzheng on the matter of who served as the commander of the 54th Army, and it is reasonable to say that Huang Wei of the 54th Army of the Civil Engineering Department should also be a person of the Civil Engineering Department, but Guan Linzheng forcibly let his compatriot and subordinate Zhang Yaoming become the commander of the army because of his belonging to the 9th Group Military Administration, and Chen Cheng's stomach bleeding was directly admitted to the hospital.

Therefore, they successively offended Du Yuming, Chen Cheng, Huang Wei and others, leaving them with basically no allies to talk about within the Nationalist Army. In the War of Liberation, it was precisely these "enemies" of his who held military power, Du Yuming was deeply trusted by Lao Jiang, and Chen Cheng was the chief of staff.
