Chiang Kai-shek's five ace armies were wiped out in which battles, and who was the commander
The National Revolutionary Army led by Chiang Kai-shek has a hierarchical internal army, such as the yan clan troops and the miscellaneous troops. The troops of the Yan clan were considered to be the elite of Chiang Kai-shek, and their weapons and equipment were equipped with German weapons, Soviet weapons, and American weapons. The weapons and equipment used by the miscellaneous troops were all manufactured by domestic engineer factories. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek's troops are strong in combat effectiveness and well equipped. Among the troops of this lineage, five units stood out during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and because of the baptism of the eight-year War of Resistance, both combat experience and weapons and equipment reached their peak. Therefore, these five units reached the period of the Liberation War, and were also called the five aces under Chiang Kai-shek at that time.
Later, however, we all know that this war of liberation ended in the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek, the old Chiang Kai-shek was defeated, and his five ace armies were all annihilated on the battlefield. So, let's take a look at the five ace armies, in which battles were destroyed, and who was the commander who annihilated them?
The reorganized 74th Division (also known as the 74th Army), this unit is the most capable of fighting among Chiang Kai-shek's five ace armies, and won the title of Anti-Japanese Iron Army during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. However, such a strong force was besieged by General Su Yu of the East China Field Army on Meng Lianggu in the Battle of Meng Lianggu, and finally, all columns of the East China Field Army were mobilized to eat Chiang Kai-shek's ace army in one fell swoop and kill Zhang Lingfu.
Chiang Kai-shek commanded five ace armies
The New First Army (also known as the First Army of the World), the whole army is full of American equipment, and under the tutelage of Zheng Dongguo and Sun Liren, two famous generals, it has become an ace in the battlefield of Burma during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Whether it is the combat ability of soldiers or the military sun Liren, he is the best in the country. But it was such an ace unit, in the Liaoshen Campaign on the liaoxi battlefield, was also surrounded by the Northeast Field Army, and finally under the command of commander Lin Zong, it ate this unit bite by bite, of course, the commander at this time was not a victor, but other generals.
The New Sixth Army (also known as the Tiger of the National Army) was a tiger and wolf division during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which counterattacked in Burma and severely damaged the Eighteenth Division of the Japanese Jungle Tiger in World War I, thus winning the title of Tiger of the National Army. However, it was such an ace army that contributed to the War of Resistance Against Japan that, after the outbreak of the civil war, was air-conditioned by Chiang Kai-shek to the northeast to participate in the combat mission of seizing the northeast. Although at the beginning, the New Sixth Army won successive victories under the leadership of its commander Liao Yaoxiang. However, later, the Northeast Field Army was defeated and won under the command of Lin Zong, and finally the Northeast Field Army completely annihilated the New Sixth Army on the battlefield of western Liaoning.
The Eighteenth Army (also known as the Seed Army), this unit was established early, the qualifications are old, and it is known as the eldest brother in the army. Moreover, the first commander was Chiang Kai-shek's concubine Chen Cheng, including Luo Zhuoying, Huang Wei, and Hu Lian, all of whom had served as commanders of the Eighteenth Army. It is enough to see that the Eighteenth Army has maintained good combat effectiveness under the leadership of these famous generals. However, during the Liberation War, the Eighteenth Army also crisscrossed the battlefield of the Central Plains, which also brought great lethality to our army. Fortunately, in the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Shuangduiji was surrounded by the Central Plains Field Army and the East China Field Army, and finally ate the 18th Army under the command of Marshal Liu Bocheng.
The Fifth Army (Iron Horse Division), which is a mechanized unit, and equipped with heavy weapons such as tanks, motorized units, artillery, etc., its weapons and equipment can be comparable to the Japanese army during the War of Resistance. And the military commanders Du Yuming and Qiu Qingquan were all brave generals at that time. Including in the Liberation War, both the Central Plains Field Army and the East China Field Army suffered losses from the Fifth Army, which made commander Qiu Qingquan say triumphantly; Not fighting on the fifth day means that our army does not dare to go to war when it encounters the Fifth Army. However, this ace army was also destroyed in the Battle of Huaihai, where Chen Guanzhuang was destroyed by the East China Field Army commanded by General Su Yu.
