During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, whether it was the local warlords who had fought to the death before, or the chiang kai-shek military clique and the Red Army troops. In the face of the invaders, they all shook hands and made peace, and together they fought against the Japanese. Moreover, it uniformly obeyed Chiang Kai-shek's deployment and reorganization. For example, the Sichuan Army, the Dian Army, the Gui Army, the Northwest Army, including the Northeast Army and the Xiang Army, which were incorporated by Chiang Kai-shek, were all actively involved in the cause of the War of Resistance. Among them, the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, the Dian Army, and the Northwest Army all performed very well during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and they were all the main forces against the invaders.
The Sichuan Army was the local unit that fought the most fiercely and fiercely during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and it was also the local unit that sacrificed the most on the battlefield during the eight-year War of Resistance. In the famous Battle of Taierzhuang, the sichuan general Wang Mingzhang stubbornly defended TengXian (present-day Tengzhou, Shandong), fought to the last soldier, successfully blocked the enemy's reinforcements, and made great contributions to ensuring the victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang. At the same time, the sichuan army general Wang Mingzhang was martyred heroically, and he was one of the generals of the Sichuan army who sacrificed a higher level during the eight-year War of Resistance.
As a big man in the Sichuan Army, Liu Xiang was the first to ask Him to come out of Sichuan to resist the war after the Outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, expressing his willingness to contribute and contribute. As the king of Sichuan, Liu Xiang could have stayed in the rear, but he did not, but led the generals of the Sichuan Army to fight the War of Resistance, serving as the commander-in-chief of the 23rd Group Army, and at the same time serving as the commander of the Seventh Theater of Operations, leading the Sichuan Army to fight against the invaders in Hubei Province.
He died before he could get out of the division, and the hero was in tears. Liu Xiang, who commanded the Sichuan Army and the Japanese Kou in a bloody battle for five months, died of illness in Hankou on January 20, 1938, becoming the only commander of the theater during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and a senior officer of the Nationalist Army who died on the front line. Although General Liu Xiang was gone, his last words were encouraged, and countless generals of the Sichuan Army bravely killed the enemy and defended their families and the country. This last word became the soul of the Sichuan army and their spiritual pillar; the war of resistance to the end was unswerving, that is, the enemy army did not withdraw from the country for a day, and the Sichuan army vowed not to return to its hometown every day.
As a big man in the Sichuan Army, Liu Xiang died of illness on the front line, which is a pity. However, among the senior generals of the Sichuan Army, there was another general who was martyred in the case of fighting against the Japanese Kou, and he was General Li Jiayu. During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Sichuan Army sacrificed the highest level of general on the front line.
In 1944, in the Battle of Yuzhong, General Li Jiayu served as the commander-in-chief of the 36th Group Army. Participating in this battle, Tang Enbo was completely defeated by the Japanese Kou, which led to the defeat of the Battle of Yuzhong. Li Jiayu, commander-in-chief of the 36th Group Army, in the process of leading his troops to retreat, was attacked by the Japanese Kou on the way through Qinjiapo, Shaanxi County, Henan, and unfortunately died and martyred. He became a general of the National Army with a higher level of sacrifice during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was also the general with the highest level of sacrifice in the Sichuan Army.
In addition to the Sichuan Army, during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a general of the rank of commander-in-chief of the group army was sacrificed. As a number of famous generals in the War of Resistance, the Northwest Army also sacrificed a high-ranking general during the eight-year War of Resistance. As many people may know, the performance of the Northwest Army during the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was, on the whole, still good. For example, Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an, Liu Ruming, Chi Fengcheng, Hao Mengling, Feng Anbang and other generals of the Northwest Army performed well on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
Of course, during the Period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Northwest Army also produced many traitors, such as Shi Yousan, Sun Liangcheng, Wu Huawen, Zhang Lanfeng, Pang Bingxun, Zheng Dazhang, Hao Pengju and other generals from the Northwest Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they all surrendered to the Japanese army and became traitors. Among them, Pang Bingxun was still able to perform at the beginning of the War of Resistance. In the Battle of Linyi, he led his troops to block the reinforcements of the Japanese Kou, and Pang Bingxun's troops stubbornly defended Linyi, and joined hands with Zhang Zizhong to block the Japanese troops reinforcing the Battle of Taierzhuang, which contributed to the victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang.

Unfortunately, later Pang Bingxun led his troops to surrender to the Japanese army and became a traitor. General Zhang Zizhong, who once joined forces with him to defend Linyi, became a well-known hero of the War of Resistance and a famous general of the War of Resistance. At the same time, General Zhang Zizhong was also the general with the highest level of sacrifice from the generals of the Northwest Army during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In the Battle of Zaoyi in 1940, Zhang Zizhong led his troops to martyrdom in the process of fighting the invaders in Xiangyang. At that time, he was the commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army, and became the highest-ranking anti-war general among the generals of the Northwest Army.
