During the war years, there were many brave and warlike generals in our country, who fought hard for the future of China and drove the Japanese devils out of China, but then there was a civil war in the country, and as a result, many anti-Japanese heroes were killed in this war. In particular, the generals of the Nationalist Army suffered extremely serious blows, resulting in heavy losses and ultimately inability to recover the defeat. However, not all generals are excellent, for example, there is a general in the national army who is not good at fighting, but runs as soon as he fights, so he is called "long-legged general".
This nationalist general is Liu Zhi, also a well-known "pig general" in the nationalist army, and from this title alone, we can see how bad he is at fighting. In fact, in the beginning, Liu Zhi also made a lot of contributions in many battles, so he was deeply appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek and was also known as the general of Changsheng. However, since the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liu Zhi's ability to command battles has become worse and worse, and even as soon as he confronted the Japanese army, he threw up his legs and ran, so he was ridiculed by the Japanese army as a "long-legged general". In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek also hated that iron was not steel, and could only send him to the battlefield as little as possible.
In the period of the Liberation War, Liu Zhi was repeatedly defeated in battles and became a real "pig general", which made Chiang Kai-shek half dead. However, due to the increasingly fierce war and the losses of the nationalist generals, even though he knew that Liu Zhi could not fight, Chiang Kai-shek still let him command the battle. One of the most famous battles was the Battle of Huaihai, which was crucial to the Nationalist army, so Chiang Kai-shek invested 800,000 troops and gave great hope to this campaign.
Originally, Chiang Kai-shek was ready to appoint Jiang Dingwen, a second-ranking general of the army, as commander-in-chief and responsible for directing the battle, but because Jiang Dingwen at that time had already seen that the defeat of the Nationalist army had been decided, he was unwilling to participate in the war. In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to appoint Liu Zhi as the commander-in-chief of the campaign. When our army learned that the commander-in-chief was Liu Zhi, it unceremoniously ridiculed liu zhi, saying that Liu Zhi was a big stupid pig, and as long as our army bravely advanced, it could rush into Xuzhou to kill pigs.
Liu Zhi was indeed a "pig general", when our army was closely deploying the campaign, he was indifferent and did not make any preparations for battle, so the result can be imagined, 800,000 nationalist troops were killed by our army and retreated, even if Du Yuming came to command the battle later, it was already powerless to save the defeat, and finally the nationalist army was killed by our army, fled, our army won a comprehensive victory, and also captured many nationalist generals, but Liu Zhi successfully escaped.
At this time, Liu Zhi also knew that he had run into a catastrophe, so he shaved off his beard and told Chiang Kai-shek that he would definitely defeat the People's Liberation Army. However, at this time, the strength of the nationalist army was no longer much, so how could Liu Zhi win the battle against our army? Chiang Kai-shek was also well aware of this, so he did not believe Liu Zhi's words, but instead claimed to investigate and deal with him. However, because of The Protection of He Yingqin, Liu Zhi escaped this investigation, and after that, seeing that the defeat of the Nationalist army had been decided, he rolled up and fled.
Liu Zhi first returned to his hometown in Jiangxi, and later when Jiangxi was liberated, he fled to Hong Kong, and because he fled with a lot of wealth, his life has been quite comfortable. But then his former subordinates approached him and threatened to extort his money. At this time, Liu Zhi had become an ordinary person, and he did not know how to deal with these bandit-like subordinates, so he could only obediently take out a sum of money to send them. After that, Liu Zhi knew that Hong Kong could not stay any longer, so he fled to other countries with his family.
After traveling to many countries, he ran out of money, and in order to survive, he settled in West Java and relied on his wife to work as a primary school teacher in a school to survive. Soon, his wife wanted to return to Hong Kong to run errands, and in order not to lose the job of teacher, he asked Liu Zhi to take her class. At this time, Liu Zhi could not have dreamed that his own army general had become an ordinary primary school teacher, but in order to live, he had to agree.
The subjects that Liu Zhi is responsible for teaching are Chinese language and geography, both of which he has a foundation, so he can teach it with ease and has also been loved by students. After that, the school arranged several subjects for Liu Zhi, and he taught them very well, and as a result, after his wife returned, the school would not let him go. In this way, Liu Zhi became a primary school teacher and lived a dull life. However, later, his identity was still known to the locals, and the principal of the primary school was even more surprised when he learned his true identity, and immediately began to beg him, hoping to enhance the popularity of his school through his celebrity effect.
As a result, Liu Zhi not only became famous in the local area, but even Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, learned of his whereabouts and persuaded him to return to Taiwan. Liu Zhi obeyed Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement and eventually returned to Taiwan.
