The invasion of the Japanese army made the corrupt China wake up from its slumber, and the baptism of artillery fire and the endless burning and looting made the Chinese suffer from human suffering, so the Republic of China government was established in such an environment.
Warlords of all walks of life have joined in, adding many living forces to China's anti-Japanese struggle. There have been many patriotic generals in history, perhaps they are not part of the Red Army, but they are in another way, another camp to do their duty to fight against the Japanese.
However, there was such a Kuomintang general who was commented by Su Yu that "you can only win the battle, you cannot lose the battle." "So what is his real combat command level?"
Childhood experiences, planting seeds
On November 28, 1904, Du Yuming was born in Dujiawan, Lujialai, the eastern district of Mizhi County, Shaanxi, and if you talk about his family background, it can be described as unlimited scenery, and his ancestors were once famous local landlords and old wealth.
It was not until his father, Du Liangkui, that his generation gradually declined, became a teaching teacher at Xi'an Chang'an University, and participated in the Patriotic Organization Alliance, and was a well-known patriot in the township.
He returned to his hometown many times to encourage his fellow villagers to oppose the feudal imperial system, and even more actively participated in the struggle against becoming emperor after Yuan Shikai mutinied and became emperor.
As a descendant of patriots, Du Yuming was also influenced by his father, and from an early age he loved to dance knives and guns, dreaming of becoming a great general in the future.
But force alone can not be enough, at the age of twelve, under the leadership of his father, young he entered the Chengjiapu Primary School run by his cousin Li Dingming.
Although the heart is extremely repulsive to learning, under the strict teaching of the teacher, it is also a small achievement.
Then because of the death of his grandparents, and his father also taught outside for many years, he could not often go home, so the young Du Yuming learned to live a self-reliant life early in the morning, because of his brain, he soon mastered a set of skills to run the family business and take care of the family, and the villagers were also full of praise for this clever teenager.
But then, when his father returned home because of his work, he saw that his son had abandoned his studies because of trivial matters at home, and as a people's teacher, he was furious and decided to take him out to be disciplined closely, and the affairs of the family were left to his nephews.
So Du Yuming followed his father to Yulin and continued his studies at the only middle school in the county at that time.
In 1923, after graduating from Yulin Middle School, Du Yuming was arranged by his family to marry Cao Xiuqing, who was two years older than himself, and then he and several of his friends went to Beijing to play.
However, when he was in Beijing, his feelings for Du Yuming were particularly profound, and even changed his life, he originally wanted to apply for Peking University according to his father's wishes, but because he was accustomed to the darkness of society and the decay of the government, he hoped to change the country with his own strength, and at this time, it happened that the Whampoa Military Academy was enrolling, and he resolutely chose to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy because he was inspired by revolutionary ideas.
University Life, Participation Revolution
In March 1924, Du Yuming and his cousin were successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy.
And he wanted to serve the motherland, during the school period, he changed the past playfulness, but instead studied seriously, for some combat courses set up by the military school, he never sloppy, conscientiously completed, won the praise and envy of teachers and classmates.
After that, there were also classmates who participated in the battle to appease the reactionary merchant group in Guangzhou, and this was also the first real knife and real gun battle since he grew up, and after this time, he had a new understanding of war.
After graduating from the military academy, he was assigned to the third company of the first battalion of the First Teaching Regiment of He Yingqin as a trainee officer and quartermaster sergeant, but because of his outstanding combat, he was soon promoted to deputy platoon leader.
At the beginning of 1925, at the call of the military academy, Du Yuming participated in the battle against the Guangdong warlord Chen Jiongming, and in this operation, he made a great difference, and won the attention of Wang Jingwei with his fighting style of daring to fight, and in the same year, under the direct leadership of Hu Jingyi, he assisted Soviet advisers in starting preparations for the military academy.
Later, in the Northern Expedition War, Du Yuming of the War of Resistance Against Japan implemented this style of combat to the end, but due to the difference in camps, during the Liberation War, he was captured by the communist army, but due to his various patriotic acts, he was finally pardoned and specially invited to become a member of the Fourth National Committee of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference. He later contributed to the reunification of the motherland and eventually died of kidney failure in Beijing at the age of 77.
Su Yu commented, Cross Mantra
So, as a well-known anti-Japanese general in history, what was Du Yuming's combat level?
Su Yu's cross commented that the answer was " You can only win the battle, you can't lose the battle." ”
Seeing this, perhaps everyone will wonder, why do you comment on him like this? In fact, the answer is very simple, many national generals at that time had the same problem as him.
Because they were all born from military academies or systems, they did not have much grasp of the changes in war, and they could often defeat the enemy in a favorable period
But when the unexpected happened to the war, he began to lose his grasp, so he did not know how to direct the battle, resulting in the defeat of the ending.
But at that time, he happened to encounter the well-equipped national army, so Du Yuming could win battles frequently, but if he was allowed to fight a battle with less victory, it would be even more difficult.
Therefore, in general, General Su Yu's evaluation is still very pertinent, but this does not divide Du Yuming and other patriotic generals into the ranks of not fighting, after all, they also contributed their own strength to the War of Resistance Against Japan and were meritorious ministers of the founding of New China.
brief summary:
As a descendant of a landlord, Du Yuming could have relied on his family to live a life of fine clothes and food, and did not have to face the shadow of the sword and light every day, because if he was not careful, he would lose his life, but he resolutely chose the latter.
Just to save this country in danger, this patriotism is worth learning from us now, but he did do it, although he was captured in the end, but he still did not forget his identity as a Chinese, and before he died, he was still working hard for the reunification of the motherland, and this persistence is also what we should learn.
Maybe he may not be a "victorious" general, or maybe his command style is not the most perfect, but this does not affect him to save the country in his most special way and contribute to the rise of the country as much as he can!
