In Chiang Kai-shek's military clique, it can be said that the generals are like clouds, but there are five people who can fight good battles, and they are known as the five tiger generals in the world, not only fighting cattle, but also being very loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, and all of them are his confidants. "Cadre General" Chen Cheng, "Loyal General" Gu Zhutong, "Fu General" Liu Zhi, "Flying General" Jiang Dingwen, and "Tiger General" Wei Lihuang. Later, four of these five people went to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek, so why did only Wei Lihuang and Chiang Kai-shek part ways!
Friends who know history know that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek's five tiger generals may have been the only one who could be called a famous anti-Japanese general.
In fact, Wei Lihuang was not a Huangpu general, he joined the Beiyang Army in his early years, and later went south to Guangzhou to join the Guangdong Army, in September 1917, Sun Yat-sen set up the Protector army to give himself the title of Grand Marshal of the Navy and Army, and the Grand Marshal must have the Grand Marshal Xiangzi, so he selected outstanding young soldiers from various units to serve as his own guard, and Wei Lihuang was one of them.
Soon the Beiyang warlord Duan Qirui wanted to use force to unify the world and march south to Guangdong, at this time Sun Yat-sen asked Chen Jiongming and Xu Chongzhi to lead the army to meet the battle, at this time Wei Lihuang was sent to the second detachment of the Xu Chongzhi department of the Guangdong army, after which Wei Lihuang followed Xu Chongzhi of the Guangdong army and successively moved to Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and he rose little by little by virtue of his military achievements. Later, Xu Chongzhi was deposed by Chiang Kai-shek and his troops were also incorporated, so Wei Lihuang followed Chiang Kai-shek from then on, so Wei Lihuang was not a Huangpu general. This was also one of the reasons why he later parted ways with Chiang Kai-shek.
And the contradiction between Wei Lihuang and Chiang Kai-shek is that we all know that General Chiang Kai-shek's five tigers is wei Lihuang and our army have the best relations, and often help our army in the War of Resistance, once without Chiang Kai-shek's consent, he allocated 1 million bullets to our army, 250,000 grenades, to know that in the war years, bullets, grenades are worth more than anything, as soon as this news came out, some people said in Chiang Kai-shek's ears that Wei Lihuang was so generous, was there any ulterior secret with the Eighth Road, but it was still a period of cooperation at that time. Chiang Kai-shek didn't have much to say.
The relationship between the two became worse and worse in the 1948 Liaoshen Campaign, before which Chiang Kai-shek was at a disadvantage in the northeast military, so he urgently transferred Wei Lihuang back to China. However, wei Lihuang insisted on not fighting as soon as he arrived in the northeast, and Chiang Kai-shek asked him to open the ShenJin line, but Wei Lihuang did not agree.
Later, some people said to Chiang Kai-shek that Wei Lihuang was now the emperor of Shangao, so Chiang Kai-shek personally flew to the northeast to supervise the battle, and later the outcome of the Liaoshen Campaign was believed to be known to everyone, and Chiang Kai-shek was defeated, so they all blamed Wei Lihuang for not meeting the battle early and taking the fighter plane, so he was dismissed from his post to investigate Wei Lihuang.
Fortunately, on January 21, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek went into the wilderness, and Li Zongren let Wei Lihuang go, so Wei Lihuang felt that if he did not have a good end with Chiang Kai-shek, he went out of Hong Kong and parted ways with Chiang Kai-shek, and then Chiang also lost taiwan.
