The Tenth Army in the Nationalist Army should be good at defense, especially in the Battle of Changsha, Xue Yue handed over the heavy task of guarding the furnace to the Tenth Army, and everyone knew that General Xue Yue used the Heavenly Furnace Tactics to fight against the enemy, and this method of warfare depended on whether Li Yutang's Tenth Army could hold the hearth and wait for the large troops to dare to annihilate the enemy.
It is known that Li Yutang's Tenth Army lived up to expectations and defended Changsha, and at the same time won the title of Taishan Army for this army.
Today, I will not introduce General Li Yutang or General Xue Yue, but I will tell you about "Li Yutang's Taishan Army, and the three division commanders under his command will end up like later"!
The first was Zhou Qingxiang, the commander of the Third Division, who graduated from Huangpu Ivy and Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian were all classmates. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the division played the title of Tiger Division under the command of Zhou Qingxiang, especially in the Third Battle of Changsha, Zhou Qingxiang and two other divisions defended Changsha together, making a major contribution to the Third Battle of Changsha, and after the war, Zhou Qingxiang also won the "Blue Sky and White Sun Declaration".
In late May 1944, the Defense of Hengyang broke out again, and this time it was the Tenth Army that guarded Hengyang, under the leadership of the military commander Fang Xianjue, fought fiercely with the enemy for 47 days, and finally surrendered due to the lack of reinforcements, but after the surrender, Zhou Qingxiang escaped again, gathered scattered troops, rebuilt the Third Division, and soon after the division divided the headquarters of Wang Yaowu, commander of the Second Appeasement District, but in the Liberation War, the reorganized Third Division no longer had the former combat effectiveness, and the successive defeats in the battle against Huaye's troops made Chiang Kai-shek very annoyed. In the end, he was shot at The Nanjing Yuhuatai for the crime of "missing a fighter plane", which is a bit of a pity.
The second was the 109th Division "Zhu Yue", who was slightly injured in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and let the deputy division commander Lai Chuanxiang take the place of himself to direct the battle, he hid in the rear to enjoy life, and for this reason, he was sentenced to death by Chiang Kai-shek.
The third was the reserve division "Division Commander for Fang Xianjue", which was known as the first fierce general of Huangpu, and later after the promotion of the commander Li Yutang, the commander of the Tenth Army was Fang Xianjue, and what made him famous was the Hengyang Defense War.
At that time, he attacked the enemy army with a frenzied attack of tens of thousands of enemy troops, although he finally chose to surrender, but he was also defeated, you must know that in this battle, the Japanese Kou, the force invested was six times that of the Tenth Army, and the strength of the two sides was so disparity, the Tenth Army led by Fang Xianjue could still resist the enemy's attack for 45 days, which was already a legend in the history of the War of Resistance.
After the troops were dispersed, he came to Fuzhou to introduce him as the commander of the officer training regiment, and when the Sanye army went south to Fujian, he also withdrew with his troops. He died in Taipei on March 3, 1983.
Li Yutang's Taishan Army, two of the three division commanders under his command died, and only Fang Xian felt that he would end up well.
