What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Xue Yue was a very famous anti-Japanese general during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China, and he began his military career after he was admitted to the Baoding Military Academy through his own efforts. It is worth saying that xue Yue joined the revolutionary army after joining the army, took the revolutionary road, and he has also been fighting in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, and has annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops. However, he did not receive the treatment and respect he deserved within the nationalist army, which made his later life very bleak.
The most glorious period in Xue Yue's life was the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and he was one of the most imposing generals in China at that time. In the Battle of Wanjialing, Xue Yue led his army to annihilate more than 10,000 Japanese troops and captured hundreds of prisoners of war, which was very rare during the War of Resistance. The Battle of Wanjialing made a good start for Xue Yue, and at the Battle of Changsha, Xue Yue gave full play to his talents and led his subordinates to kill the enemy bravely, defeating the Japanese army. In these four battles around Changsha, Xue Yue led an army to annihilate 100,000 enemies, which was unique at that time, and he was also known as the god of war.
Xue Yue's achievements in this battle have attracted the attention of the Us side, and he has been awarded the medal by the President of the United States. However, it was such a general who coexisted with strength and fame that the Kuomintang rejected. Later, after the war ended and he retired to Taiwan with Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang took good care of him in life at first. But then in 1952, chiang, at Chiang Ching-kuo's suggestion, gave him an idle post, a strategic adviser to the Presidential Office, and he was basically at home every day. In his later years, with chiang ching-kuo's death, the funding committee was also removed, Xue Yue's financial resources were cut off, his living conditions deteriorated, he could not even pay the rent, and finally he was accused of going to court.
In court, Xue Yuemo held the Blue Sky White Sun Medal and stated his past achievements. After the masses learned of this, many people donated money to Xue Yue, and later the local government was forced by the pressure of public opinion to increase subsidies for him, so that Xue Yue's basic life could be guaranteed. In May 1998, at the age of 103, Xue Yue died of illness, and when he died, only the Order of the Blue Sky and the Medal of Freedom accompanied him, and there was no other property, and he said before his death: "I would rather use slaves than talents." It can be seen that the sadness in his heart is seen. It is really chilling that a generation of gods of war has encountered such a thing.
