What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Friends who may know the history of the Republic of China know the Whampoa Military Academy, which was founded by Sun Yat-sen, with Chiang Kai-shek as the first principal of the school and He Yingqin as the chief instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy. The other instructors either graduated from the Japanese Non-Commissioned Officer School, or the Baoding Military Academy, or the Yunnan Wu tang. Although the Whampoa Military Academy was established late, in terms of popularity, it is necessary to surpass the Baoding Military Academy and the Yunnan Lecture Hall. The main reason for this was that the students who came out of the Whampoa Military Academy became prominent figures at that time. At the same time, it also determines the direction of modern history, and various reasons add up to make the Whampoa Military Academy famous overseas.
When it comes to the famous generals of the Whampoa Military Academy, it may be well known to everyone, and the famous names from the first to the sixth phase will be the most. Some people even say that the first six phases of the Whampoa Military Academy can be called real Whampoa students. Because in these six periods, whether it is the national army camp or our party, there are many famous students who will be students of these six periods. I am afraid that in our country, one school can train so many outstanding generals, except for the Whampoa Military Academy, which is the Baoding Military Academy.
Zhang Xuesi
However, it is unanimously believed by the outside world that the Whampoa Military Academy has no famous generals after the sixth period. You know, after the sixth period, there are still four big people.
The first is Zhang Xuesi, who graduated from the tenth term of the Whampoa Military Academy, and may not be familiar with this one. However, he came from a prominent background, and all the members of the family were influential figures in the Republic of China period. Friends who may know history have guessed that the surname Zhang, in the Republic of China period, only the northeast warlord Zhang Zuolin was a prominent figure in the Republic of China period. Yes, Zhang Xuesi is Zhang Zuolin's son and Zhang Xueliang's younger brother. His identity is probably the most prominent in the Whampoa Military Academy.
Although Zhang Xuesi was born into a warlord family, he embarked on a completely different path from his father and brother, that is, he joined our party. Zhang Xueliang joined the Kuomintang, and their father, Zhang Zuolin, did not believe in either party, saying that he only believed in himself.
After Zhang Xuesi joined the revolution, although he was not an outstanding general in our army, he also made certain contributions to the revolution, so in 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general and also served as the chief of staff of the navy.
Haobai Village
The second is Hao Baicun of the 12th phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, is it very strange to see this name? However, this man is also a prominent figure in the national army. His period of scenery was not during his time on the mainland, but during his time in Taiwan. However, Hao Baicun also participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan, when he went to Burma with Sun Liren to participate in the war. During the Liberation War, he participated in the Liaoshen Campaign, and then because he was valued by Chiang Kai-shek, he was transferred back from the front line and became Chiang Kai-shek's attendant officer.
Therefore, he later went to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek, where Hao Baicun ushered in the most brilliant moment of his life, and was promoted to a general of the first rank, and served as the minister of national defense, chief of staff and other positions. Hao Baicun was also a high-lived general, born on August 8, 1919, and died of illness on March 30 this year, at the age of 101.
Xiong Xianghui
The third is Xiong Xianghui of the 15th period of Huangpu, who is a remarkable figure, known as a figure who can withstand three divisions in one person. At the same time, Xiong Xianghui was also a senior disciple of Zhou Gong, and he was also the head of the "last three masters" of longtan in our party's intelligence work, and made immortal contributions to the revolution. Especially when Hu Zongnan attacked Yan'an, Xiong Xianghui, who was Hu Zongnan's confidential secretary, sent intelligence in time to save the members of the party organs. If these people were captured by Hu Zongnan, the consequences would be unimaginable. That's why he was praised by Grandpa Mao as an intelligence officer who "can stand up to several divisions by one person."
Huang Renyu of the 16th phase of the fourth Whampoa Military Academy, he is an alternative to the Whampoa Military Academy. As we all know, the Whampoa Military Academy is a place to cultivate military talents, but Huang Renyu, who is the 16th phase of Whampoa, is a scholar. He is a famous historian in the history of the Republic of China. He has published books such as the Battle of Northern Burma, the Fifteenth Year of the Wanli Calendar, and the Great History of China. He pioneered a new generation of historical writings, but later he became an American citizen and became a famous Chinese historian in American history.
