Huang Wei, we will be very unfamiliar with this person. But when it comes to Chiang Kai-shek, we are very familiar with Huang Wei, who was a capable general under Chiang Kai-shek, and at that time Huang Wei was also known as one of the five main aces of the Kuomintang, with a status similar to that of the Five Tiger Generals in the Three Kingdoms period.
But Huang Wei is not as brave as the other admirals, and his superiority is because he is very strategic, but he lacks experience in actual combat. Huang Wei had lost Chiang Kai-shek's 100,000 elite troops in just three months, and finally returned from the battle.
Huang Wei's wonderful life
Huang Wei was born in an ordinary peasant family in Shengyuan Township, Guixi, and grew up in a poor family, and his father died early. At a young age, he entered the county's first higher primary school, graduated in the seventh year of the Republic of China, and later entered the Goose Lake Normal School to continue his studies, and returned to his hometown as a primary school teacher a few years later. Although Huang Wei's family was poor, he did not give up studying at that time, and it was precisely because of his persistence that his life became different.
Working as a teacher in the township, he gave up his job and left his hometown a few years later due to disagreements with the villagers. It was this decision that allowed Huang Wei to meet his nobleman, and in the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, Huang Wei was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy with the help of Zhao Xingnong and Fang Zhimin. Huang Wei, who came from a poor family, took this opportunity to completely change his fate, and after graduating from the military academy, he served as the lieutenant district captain of the Huangpu Iii Enlistment Corps, completing the leap from a scholar to a non-commissioned officer.
During his tenure as captain, Huang Wei twice led the enlisted students to accompany Chiang Kai-shek on the Eastern Crusade, and together they fought against Chen Jiongming and made great military achievements. He also took this opportunity to promote him to battalion commander during the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, and concurrently served as the commander of the 61st Regiment of the 21st Division, and fought fiercely against the troops led by the warlord Sun Chuanfang, and thus showed his skills.
Later, under the strong recommendation of Chiang Kai-shek, Huang Wei continued to study at the Army University, and after graduation, Huang Wei, who was only thirty-four years old, had become the commander of the 18th Army, the ace main force under Chiang Kai-shek. In the 36th year of the Republic of China, Huang Wei continued to rise to a higher level, was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Joint Logistics Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense, and soon after led the army to launch the Huaihai Campaign. Huang Wei participated in many important battles, and although he was not very old, he used the results of his years of study at the military academy to show his skills. But often walking by the river, which can not get wet shoes, in a battle, Huang Wei's troops were deeply hit.
Huang Weibing defeated the double set pile
In the Battle of Shuangjidui, Huang Wei's troops suffered heavy losses. The reasons for this are not all due to huang Wei's mistakes, but also include Chiang Kai-shek's command mistakes. At that time, the battle lasted for a long time, and Chiang Kai-shek had already invested three corps in Bengbu, the purpose of which was to take this opportunity to break up the main corps of the People's Liberation Army's Dongye and Huaye directions, and then send troops to surround and annihilate the PLA troops.
In Chiang Kai-shek's words, if this campaign is won, the PLA troops will be seriously injured, the situation in the Central Plains will be reversed, and the plan to liberate the mainland will be stretched or even overturned. But the mistake is that Chiang Kai-shek's commander this time pushed Huang Wei up.
This key campaign, for the appointment and selection of the commander should be extremely strict, and although Huang Wei has experienced many battles large and small, but because of his young age, most of the experience comes from books, although the ten years of military school life and foreign further study experience make Huang Wei have a very strong knowledge and theoretical reserves, but it is difficult to learn and use it is difficult to cope with the changing situation on the battlefield, Chiang Kai-shek's appointment is equivalent to sending a scholar to the battlefield, the nature of the War of Resistance and this campaign is completely different, This is also one reason for the failure of the double-heap campaign.
As the commander of this campaign, Huang Wei's failure also had its own reasons, on the one hand, Huang Wei's radical stubbornness led to the straying of the enemy, on the other hand, Huang Wei should not abandon Mengcheng. In this campaign, Huang Wei was too radical, and when facing a temporary reversal of the situation in wartime, Huang Wei ordered a hasty attack, but he did not know that this was a flaw deliberately leaked by Chen Geng in order to lead Huang Wei into a trap and surround huang Wei in one fell swoop, just on the way huang Wei's army to the east, Hua Ye's army had already ended another battle, and immediately returned to Nanxiasu County to encircle and suppress Huang Wei.
At this time, taking advantage of the departure of a large number of Huang Wei's troops from the city, the Nakano Army attacked and took Mengcheng in one fell swoop, capturing all the logistics and grain and grass of Huang Wei's troops, based on which Huang Wei's army was completely besieged. In the front was the waiting encirclement and suppression of Huaye's troops, and in the rear was the logistical control of Nakano's troops, and Huang Wei was already powerless to resist and it was difficult to reverse the situation.
Even in the face of such a grim situation, Huang Weimeng was in the drum, believing that it was a batch of harassment by the PLA troops and wanted to drag down his own offensive pace, but with the follow-up news sent, Huang Wei had to accept the fact that he had been encircled and suppressed, and then immediately sent someone to report to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek, who received the war report, did not panic at this time, believing that everything was still in his own hands, and immediately sent Li Yannian's corps to participate in the war on the periphery, planning to encircle and suppress the PLA troops in reverse at the outside world, but what Chiang Kai-shek did not know was that when Li Yannian saw that Huang Wei was surrounded and suppressed, he ordered the withdrawal of the army and withdrew from the battlefield early, and when he received Chiang Kai-shek's order to rush back, the fighter planes had long been delayed, and the Battle of Xu Beng ended in a big defeat for Huang Wei's army.
summary
From an objective point of view, the reason why the Battle of Xu Beng ended in defeat was mainly related to Chiang Kai-shek's appointment, and if Chiang Kai-shek swapped the positions of Huang Wei and Li Yanjun, with Huang Wei's stubborn character, he would definitely hold the battlefield and wait for Chiang Kai-shek's orders. But what has happened cannot be repeated, and history cannot be rewritten, and such a statement is only put forward by us as witnesses of history, and cannot be regarded as a judgment at that time.
Huang Wei can be said to be an excellent general, with extremely rich military theoretical reserves, but because of Chiang Kai-shek's promotion at that time and Huang Wei's blind trust in Chiang Kai-shek, he finally ended up defeated. Although Huang Wei was a major general, he was not a commander, he was too stubborn and addicted to theory, it was difficult to do it, facing the severe war situation at that time, and finally made a wrong judgment, resulting in the rout of the 100,000 troops led by his own hands and bear the infamy.
