When it comes to the kuomintang's so many generals, which one can be called the first general of the Kuomintang? In fact, this answer is indeed difficult to reconcile, but most people will still feel that wang Yaowu can be worthy, Chiang Kai-shek praised Wang Yaowu as "good at leading troops and has command ability", and some people say "I would rather touch the king of Yan than touch the old king", which can reflect how powerful Wang Yaowu really is.
Wang Yaowu is also from the Huangpu family, and he is worthy of the Huangpu people in his subsequent achievements, especially in the War of Resistance Against Japan, which really made the Japanese army feel frightened, from the division commander to the military commander, Wang Yaowu relied on his step-by-step battle achievements to obtain, no one dares to say that Wang Yaowu is not.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army was indeed invincible, from the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Changde, and then to the Battle of Changsha and other anti-Japanese battles, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army won the reputation of "Anti-Japanese Iron Army" because it performed too well, and after the victory of the War of Resistance, Wang Yaowu was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, the Order of Freedom of the President of the United States, and the Medal of Victory in the War of Resistance.
Moreover, Wang Yaowu is different from most of the generals of the Nationalist army, we know that the kuomintang is extremely corrupt, it seems to be very bright and beautiful, in fact, the internal corruption has long been to the extreme, even in the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were a large number of high-level nationalist troops in the country in the country is difficult to get rich, and in the days after Japan's surrender, many Kuomintang top brass actually began to accumulate wealth, such as blackmailing those businessmen who had cooperated with the Japanese army and so on.
In addition, in the War of Liberation, Wang Yaowu was the commander of the Second Appeasement District and the chairman of Shandong, and at that time Wang Yaowu's department was about to face defeat, but at this time Wang Yaowu did not get angry with the innocent people, nor did he kill the arrested comrades of our party, but on the contrary, he released them.
In the Battle of Jinan in 1948, Wang Yaowu tried to break through after putting on makeup, but he was successfully captured by our People's Liberation Army on the way, and then Wang Yaowu's behavior was still very praiseworthy, and he shouted at his colleagues, hoping that everyone would recognize the reality and stop fighting for Chiang Kai-shek.
After being captured, Wang Yaowu was imprisoned in Beijing Gongdelin Prison like many high-ranking nationalist generals, and at that time Wang Yaowu's mood was still very heavy, and he did not expect that the great instructor actually sent Minister Luo Ruiqing to relay to him that praising his merits in the War of Resistance Against Japan would never be forgotten, and as long as he was well reformed, sooner or later he would return to the people.
After that, Wang Yaowu's performance in prison was still very good, his attitude was very positive, and in 1959 he became one of the first Kuomintang war criminals to be pardoned after the founding of New China.
As for Wang Yaowu's family? At that time, Wang Yaowu's wife fled to Hong Kong with the money very early, and then our party introduced him to a female teacher, and in 1968, Wang Yaowu died of illness in the Beijing People's Hospital.
So how are Wang Yaowu's children doing now? Daughter Wang Luyun has lived in Hong Kong for a long time, and three other sons have settled abroad, and three sons have died early, and most of the descendants are engaged in medical work.
