At Chiang Kai-shek's side
There are five extremely capable right-hand men
They were known as Chiang Kai-shek's "Five Tiger Generals"
After the War of Liberation
Chiang Kai-shek defeated Taiwan
Their right and left arms should also go to Taiwan together
However, among these "Five Tiger Generals", one of them remained on the mainland
After the founding of New China, he became the vice chairman of our National Defense Commission
Why is that?
Next, let the Fun Film History Museum take you inside
The wonderful life and legend of the Five Tigers
The first tiger Chen Cheng
Chen Cheng is a native of Lishui, Zhejiang
He was an army general of the Kuomintang army
He was often referred to as the chairman of the small committee in the nationalist forces
From this, we can see how close the relationship between Chen Cheng and Chiang Kai-shek is
As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious of his human nature
Always be a little cautious and a little wary of the people and things around you
Chen Cheng was able to become relatives with Chiang Kai-shek
It is not difficult to see that Chen Cheng's weight in Chiang Kai-shek's heart must be extraordinary
Since the period of the Whampoa Military Academy
Chen Cheng stayed with Chiang Kai-shek
The 1930s
Chiang Kai-shek was in Henan, Shandong, Anhui and Yanxishan
A scuffle between warlords unfolded
This scuffle was provoked by Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren and others
It was intended to challenge Chiang Kai-shek's status and rights
In this Central Plains War, Chen Cheng showed brave and fierce energy
The 11th Division of the Ace Army, which led the Yan forces, attacked Jinan
The defeat of Fu Zuoyi brought about a fundamental reversal of the situation in the great war between Jiang, Yan, and Feng
During the second period of Kuomintang-Communist cooperation
Chen Cheng followed Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and went to Nanjing to discuss the issue of combat
It is mainly responsible for the second united front of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party
Since the fall of Nanjing
Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing government moved to Wuhan
There, Chen Cheng was appointed to various administrative positions at all levels
Since then, it has been rumored within the Kuomintang that he is "the embodiment of Chiang Kai-shek"
Unexpectedly, Wuhan was also captured
Chiang Kai-shek did not leave a brick or tile for the Japanese
He ordered Chen Cheng to set fire to the city of Wuhan and completely destroy it
But Chen Cheng did not burn the city according to Chiang Kai-shek's request
Instead, he chose to keep Wuhan
This is where the old buildings in Wuhan are now
At the end of the 37th year of the Republic of China
Chiang Kai-shek saw that the struggle with the Communist army could not be sustained
Realize that you are no longer far from failure
In order to leave yourself a good plan to retreat
Chiang Kai-shek directed Chen Cheng to go to Taiwan Island first to preside over the overall situation
After receiving the order, Chen Cheng left for Taiwan
Train there to bring the troops of the past
Chiang Kai-shek was able to fight against the Communists in the last moments
He gave chen cheng the arrangement of his own back road
Let Chen Cheng do such an important thing with confidence
It can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek's trust in Chen Cheng is by no means just talking
Early the following year
Chen Cheng's management in Taiwan has achieved initial results
Various controls and policies have begun to be implemented
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was ready to leave the mainland
After the "Sum" proclamation was issued
Chiang Kai-shek arranged for the Kuomintang troops to begin
Evacuated to the Taiwan region where Chen Cheng was in charge
After Chiang Kai-shek's arrival in Taiwan, his influence did not dissipate at all
Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a position of great power, felt more certain and confident of Chen Cheng's loyalty
The deeds of Chen Cheng, a confidant, made Chiang Kai-shek full of joy
1965
Chen Cheng died of liver cancer in Taiwan at the age of 67
Chiang Kai-shek was deeply saddened by the death of his confidant
He also held a funeral for Chen Cheng at the highest level of the Kuomintang
The second tiger Gu Zhutong
Gu Zhutong was born in Lianshui, Jiangsu Province
In his childhood, Gu Zhutong's family was wealthy
But the death of his grandfather led to the sudden decline of the family that had once been Tengda
The shortage of labor has led to a collapse in the family's situation
He was abused by his stepmother since childhood
The 1920s
Gu Zhutong left the mixed brigade in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River
Finally, after several twists and turns, he met Sun Yat-sen
Because of Sun Yat-sen, they got acquainted again
He is also a brother-in-law of Chiang Kai-shek, who graduated from the Baoding Army School
Chiang Kai-shek was later founded at the Whampoa Military Academy
Gu Zhutong is strongly recommended to serve in the main position
This made Gu Zhutong very grateful to Chiang Kai-shek for his life
1926
At this time, Gu Zhutong participated in the battle to protect Yongding City in Songkou
The tactics of this battle were a roundabout approach
Winning a victory with such a battle plan was the first time in the history of the revolutionary army's combat
Such a good achievement made Chiang Kai-shek full of joy
Gu Zhutong was thus promoted to the post of division commander
Since then, Chiang Kai-shek has commanded the war everywhere
You can always see Gu Zhutong's figure
In the course of the war against the Japanese imperialist forces
Gu Zhutong participated in countless battles in Xuzhou, Zhejiang, Wuhan and other places
In these battles, Gu Zhutong commanded the battle and was full of strategy
It shows the strategic and tactical vision of the Chinese people and the concept of fighting and resisting the enemy
Later, with the gradual deepening of the resistance to the Japanese army invading China
In the end, victory in battle was achieved
Gu Zhutong was sent to the Chinese theater to accept the surrender of Japanese troops
Sending Gu Zhutong to participate in international affairs particularly shows the importance that Chiang Kai-shek attaches to him
If we delve into the reason why Gu Zhutong was so loyal to Chiang Kai-shek
It is not difficult to find Gu Zhutong, who is a very obedient person
Even the outbreak of the anti-communist and anti-communist Anhui incident in the middle of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression shocked the world
Gu Zhutong's sincerity to him remains unchanged
And made up his mind to defend the headmaster to the death
Such inhuman tragedies are being actively carried out
However, Gu Zhutong was a man other than his unprincipled obedience to Chiang Kai-shek
He also has a problem, that is, he is very greedy for money
The love of money made Gu Zhutong during the War of Resistance Against Japan
Take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune
The War of Resistance was originally a heavy task shouldered by the whole nation
But at this moment, the people of the vast land
But it is exploited by some people in important positions
Such a thing that disgraced the just cause of the War of Resistance
Serious consultations have ensued on the enthusiasm of the whole nation in the War of Resistance
It even led to the people's evaluation of the anti-Japanese front
During the Liberation War
At a time when resistance to the Communists gradually lost its advantage
Gu Zhutong and Chiang Kai-shek fled to the treasure island of Taiwan
In the end, Gu Zhutong was in the early morning of one day in 1987
He died in Taipei, ending his long life of loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek
The three tigers are named Liu Zhi
Ranked first among Chiang Kai-shek's "Five Tiger Generals"
He was a victorious general in the Central Plains War
After Chiang Kai-shek established the Whampoa Military Academy
He also served as an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy for a time
The experience of the Second Crusade
This has greatly improved his military combat ability
In the days to come
He made many contributions to the Kuomintang army
During the Longtan period, even if he had been injured
However, Liu Zhi still did not give up command of the army's front line
Led by him personally
Chiang Kai-shek's faction inflicted severe wounds on Sun Chuanfang's army
The situation in the Central Plains War was thus reversed
In the Jiang-Gui War, Liu Zhi used his military command skills
Hu Zongduo, the general of Li Zongren, was beaten to death
Hu Zongduo had to abandon his position and flee
After occupying Hu Zongduo's territory
He took advantage of the victory to pursue, and frequently made clever moves
In a situation where the combat situation is very unfavorable to him
Decisively attacked, turned defeat into victory, and successfully defeated Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren
The repeated victories in the Central Plains War made Liu Zhi's reputation a big splash for a while
Liu Zhi, who made great achievements, was known as a blessed general
But since the Battle of Huaihai broke out
Liu Zhi was proud of his heart
As a result, they lost one after another in the resistance to the Communists
Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he removed him from his post
September 1949
Liu Zhi and Gu Zhu met together
Back at the Whampoa Military Academy, where I co-coached, I can't help but feel sad in life
Eventually, Liu Zhi died of illness in Taichung in 1971 at the age of 79
Four Tigers Jiang Dingwen
Born in Zhuji, Zhejiang
At the same time as a member of Chiang Kai-shek's "Five Tiger Generals"
It is also one of the four vajras of He Yingqin
Therefore, Jiang Dingwen's fame has always been not small
During the Great Patriotic War
Jiang Dingwen fully supported and followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen to the revolutionary cause
Later, he entered the Whampoa Military Academy founded by Chiang Kai-shek
His outstanding performance was noticed by Chiang Kai-shek
Chiang Kai-shek therefore took great care of him
In the Northern Expedition, Jiang Dingwen even dragged the enemy army with all his strength
As a result, the whole war situation was transformed
Central Plains War
Jiang Dingwen did not break away from the water in the slightest
Tactical decisions are decisive and calm, agile and agile
Jiang Dingwen, who was on the battlefield, resisted Feng Yuxiang's troops at Yan Xishan
This led to a great victory for Chiang Kai-shek's faction
It was for this reason that he became a member of the Five Tiger Generals and was known as the Flying General
However, it is similar to Gu Zhutong
He was also very corrupt, and he wantonly used his position to loot the people's fat and people's ointment
Fell into the bad reputation of a corrupt general
Jiang Dingwen later followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan
He eventually died in Taipei in 1974
The last of the Five Tigers will be called Wei Lihuang
Wei Lihuang, who studied diligently since childhood, read a lot of books
The accumulation of this knowledge continued to steam up his career in the future
It played an indelible foundational role
The Protector movement is in full swing
Wei Lihuang served as Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard
During his days at Sun Yat-sen's side, he received daily teachings from Sun Yat-sen
The understanding of the revolution is also deepening
During the War of Resistance Against Japan
Under the leadership of Wei Lihuang, he repeatedly won battles in the Battle of Xinkou
The Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party also brought a lot of help
We saw that the Eighth Route Army was short of supplies and was in a tight state of armament
He proceeded from the height of the nation to make his own decisions
It provided a lot of armaments to the Eighth Route Army
This was for the Kuomintang-Communist relationship, which was very sensitive at the time
Undoubtedly, it sent a warmth
But Wei Lihuang always firmly believed
The differences between the kuomintang and the communist parties can be resolved
We are all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation
Therefore, the civil war has always been the most disgusting thing for Wei Lihuang
Even in the Kuomintang, Wei Lihuang did not support the civil war
He even chose to study abroad when the civil war broke out
The purpose of this was to escape civil war at home
Chiang Kai-shek after his defeat in the War of Liberation
Wei Lihuang did not choose to retreat to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek
Instead, it stayed on the mainland
He was also the only one of the Five Tiger Generals to remain on the mainland
And after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also held the post of vice chairman of our National Defense Commission
Wei Lihuang eventually died of illness in Beijing in 1960
He died at the age of 64 and slept in Babaoshan, Beijing
