General You pig was known as "Liu Zhi" He De He Neng, and became the head of Chiang Kai-shek's Five Tiger Generals
Liu Zhi was the most controversial figure in the Nationalist army, appearing in front of everyone in the first half of his life as a general who won a long victory, and in the second half of his life, he appeared in front of everyone as a general who escaped, and General Pig appeared in front of everyone. His life experience is a bit like that of Emperor Tang Ming
Lee Long-ki.
So how could Liu Zhi become the head of Chiang Kai-shek's Five Tiger Generals? Everyone who can be called the Five Tiger Generals naturally has this side.
Liu Zhi (Chinese: 刘峙; pinyin: Lêng), also known as Jingfu (gìng fu), was one of the five generals of Jiangxi in the Republic of China, along with Li Liejun (a native of Wuning), Xiong Shihui (an Yiren), Fang Tian (from Ganxian), and Cao Haosen (Duchang).
Liu Zhixiao's family conditions were very poor, and his father was born when he was a child, and since then he has lived a turbulent and displaced life with his mother. Fortunately, Liu Zhi mixed better later. The change in his fate was that after he graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School, he followed Sun Yat-sen's oath to the Northern Expedition.
In the Northern Expedition of the Division, Liu Zhi was also considered to be brave and good at fighting, and he was victorious in even battles, otherwise it would be impossible to be reused. Later, in The Introduction of He Yingqin, Liu Zhi served as a tactical instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, please note that at that time, Liu Zhi Gu Zhutong, Qian Dajun, and Jiang Dingwen were all of the same rank. In the war that followed, liu zhi began to be a fierce general, a fierce general.
The Northern Expedition was the most important battle in the Longtan Campaign, Liu Zhi led his troops to repel Sun Chuanfang's main force and turned the tide of the war, and chiang kai-shek made Liu Zhi the commander of the First Army, please note that the commander of the First Army is not a person who can be, the first two were Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, and then Hu Zongnan. It can be seen that at this time, Liu Zhi's position in Jiang's heart.
Later, in the Jiang-Gui War, the Jiang-Tang War, he personally led the First Army to fight the Gui general Hu Zongduo, and Hu Zongduo abandoned and fled, fortunately running fast, otherwise he would have been captured alive.
In December 1929, Tang Shengzhi sent a telegram against Chiang Kai-shek, and at this time the forces on all sides were eager to move, so Chiang Kai-shek said that this battle could only be won, not fought, and if Feng Yuxiang was defeated, Yan Xishan would stand on Tang Shengzhi's side and unite against me. Just when the general was being selected, Jiang sent Liu Zhi's First Army to suppress the rebellion, and told his subordinates that Liu Zhi was a general who could fight a good battle, and sure enough, Liu Zhi defeated Tang Shengzhi's troops in one battle. When Jiang learned of this, he even said that Liu Zhi was really a tiger general.
In March 1930, the Central Plains War broke out, Liu Zhi raised the prestige of General Changsheng, and the Central Plains War Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren jointly dealt with Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, Liu Zhi fought against Feng and Yan's army in Xuchang, and he commanded Fang, and the whole army fought bravely to kill the enemy, repelled Feng and Yan's army, and then eliminated the rebellious Shi You's 370,000 people.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek asked Liu Zhi to besiege the Eyu-Anhui Soviet region, forcing Zhang Guotao and others of the Red Fourth Front to leave the base area. Chiang Kai-shek changed the name of Liu Zhizhang to Liu Zhizhang, and changed the name of a county to Fu County.
At this time, Liu Zhicheng became one of the most capable tiger generals in Chiang Kai-shek's hands, and for a while, no one was right. At that time, people called (Liu Zhi, Gu Zhutong, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, wei Lihuang) the Five Tigers, and Liu Zhi was ranked first among the Five Tiger Generals, and his reputation was unique for a while.
When he was first awarded the title, he was ranked with Bai Chongxi of "Little Zhuge Ge" and ranked seventh. Among the Huangpu generals, he ranked first, second only to the first-class general He Yingqin. If Liu Zhi died of war and illness at this time, then he could definitely keep a good reputation. Even a generation of famous players.
Unfortunately, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he gained a reputation as a long-legged general, and was called a pig general by others in the Liberation War. It may be that the good days are too long, and it is difficult to suffer again.
