Although the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a tragic memory for our country, it was precisely in this war that countless heroes who could sing and weep and countless famous anti-Japanese generals emerged, who defended our country and gave us a stable life. No matter what, we should not forget the great merits that these anti-Japanese celebrities will make for the motherland.
Today we will tell the story of a famous anti-Japanese general, this famous anti-Japanese general belongs to the National Army, he once made great achievements in the anti-Japanese battlefield, but in the civil war, he stood in the wrong line and followed the old Chiang. After the civil war, this famous anti-Japanese general did not go to Taiwan with the old Chiang Kai-shek, but chose to stay on the mainland. Later, he married a village girl in anonymity to live a peaceful life, but was denounced by his wife, and then imprisoned in the war criminals management center, his name was Wang Lingyun.
Wang Lingyun is a native of Henan, he was born in 1899, although the family is not rich, but also well-off, so Wang Lingyun can receive education from an early age. As an adult, Wang Lingyun was particularly interested in the military, and at the age of 21 he entered Wu Peifu's Northwest Engineer Battalion as a soldier. After that, he entered the military academy to study military theory, and after learning military theory, he was favored by the warlord Zheng Guohan and became a captain's aide-de-camp.
Beginning in 1925, Wang Lingyun was constantly running between several warlords. In 1930 he became commander-in-chief of the "Bandits". After this, Wang Lingyun's career entered a period of rapid development, with six or seven thousand soldiers under him. In September 1930, Wang Lingyun was incorporated by Chiang Kai-shek and became the commander of the 3rd Division of the 20th Road Division.
Wang Lingyun was brave and resourceful in combat, and he was able to lead the way, and was a general whom Lao Jiang particularly liked, so Lao Jiang intended to train him and let him enter the army university officers' workshop to study military theory. On July 7, 1937, after Japan invaded China in an all-round way, Wang Lingyun was particularly angry after seeing what the Japanese were doing in China, and vowed to drive the Japanese out of China.
In August of that year, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Wang Lingyun served as the commander of the 76th Division, and he took the lead in the charge on the battlefield, and became famous in the Battle of Songhu, and was personally commended by Chiang Kai-shek. Later, Wang Lingyun participated in the Chinese Expeditionary Force's operations in Burma, fighting the Japanese invaders in Burma. In 1945, Wang Lingyun was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and The White Sun medal and the Silver Medal of Freedom of the United States. To sum up Wang Lingyun in one sentence: He was a famous anti-Japanese general who made great contributions to the country in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the outbreak of the civil war, Wang Lingyun was opposed to Chinese fight Chinese, but because of his status as a soldier in the Nationalist army, he had to obey Chiang Kai-shek's orders. In 1949, the Kuomintang was completely defeated, and Chiang Kai-shek ran to Taiwan with his own concubine troops. Because Wang Lingyun was not a concubine of Chiang Kai-shek, he did not choose to follow Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, but stayed on the mainland.
Wang Lingyun, who remained on the mainland under the pseudonym Zhang Keming, found a village girl in Sichuan and married the village girl, thought about it for the rest of his life, and lived a peaceful life from then on. However, after marrying the village girl, Wang Lingyun accidentally revealed his true identity, and then he was reported by the village girl, became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army, and was imprisoned in the Beijing Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center for reform. In 1961, Wang Lingyun was pardoned, after which the motherland arranged for him to become a commissioner of the Henan CPPCC Secretariat.
However, Wang Lingyun was shocked in the 1960s, and then ran away from home and his whereabouts are unknown.
