In 1987, Li Hun, a professor at Hopkins University in the United States, returned to the motherland and returned to her father's hometown of Nanhua Temple in Guangzhou, where she returned this time because she was entrusted by her father to bring his ashes back from a foreign country and send him back to his hometown for burial in order to realize the wishes of the old man before his death. Why did he go to the United States, and what kind of legend will his life be?
In fact, if you want to go back to the time of the 1920s, this person can also be regarded as a popular general, but also a patriotic general who insisted on resisting Japanese aggression in the later War of Resistance, and the army he led, although inferior in equipment, did not fall behind in the face of the Japanese army, and later won an honorary banner "Steel Army", and the person who led this unit was the famous patriotic general Li Hanling.
Li Han soul was born in 1894, had graduated from the sixth term of the Baoding Military Academy, at first was assigned to Yan Xishan's troops, and later arrived in the Guangdong Army, with the rise of the Great Revolution, all the Cantonese army units were unified into the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and served as the chief of staff of the 12th Division under the Fourth Army, making great achievements for the unification of Guangdong and Guangdong Provinces, after the start of the Northern Expedition in July 1926, Li Hanling was promoted to chief of staff of the 36th Regiment of the 12th Division, and accompanied the Army on the Northern Expedition.
At that time, under the command of the Fourth Army, there was also an independent regiment led by the Communist Ye Ting, and the 36th Regiment led by Li Hanling belonged to the backbone of the Fourth Army at that time, and in the course of the Northern Expedition, many military achievements were made, in fact, the Fourth Army had many Communists, so it was very sympathetic to the Communists, Chiang Kai-shek later massacred the Communists after the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup, and only a small number of people in the Fourth Army survived under protection.
Although Li Hanling himself had little contact with the Communist Party of China, at least he did not persecute him, and was later promoted to the commander of the 25th Division of the Fourth Army, and at that time Ye Ting was once the deputy commander of the 25th Division, and the 73rd Regiment under him was the old team of the original independent regiment, but only later Ye Ting was promoted to deputy commander of the Eleventh Army and concurrently served as the commander of the 24th Division, but at least two of the 25th Division at that time were directly or indirectly led by the Communists.
However, after the confluence of Ninghan and Han, because most of the Fourth Army participated in the Nanchang Uprising, the Fourth Army was downsized to the Fourth Division, Zhang Fakui was the division commander, and Li Hanling was the deputy division commander, although the Nanchang Uprising took away most of his strength, but for the Communist Party, Li Han Soul itself was not excluded, and during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, li Han Soul ran many times to cooperate against Japan, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Li Han Soul was promoted to the commander of the Sixty-fourth Army, ordered to carry the Anti-Japanese War, and later participated in the Battle of Wuhan.
During the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army landed in Nanxun, like De'an March, Li Han Soul mobilized the strength of 8 divisions, forced more than 10,000 Japanese troops into a small space to completely annihilate, achieved the Great Victory of De'an, and later served as the chairman of Guangdong Province, up to 6 years, but at this time Li Han Soul has not led troops to fight, with the defeat of the Kuomintang, Li Han Soul also went to the United States to settle, in 1982 was invited to return to China to visit, died in 1987, at the age of 94, although he lived in the United States for a long time, but Li Han Soul has never joined the United States.
