In 1924, With the help of the Soviets, Dr. Sun Yat-sen established the Whampoa Military Academy and began to have his own armed forces. It should be known that before this, Mr. Zhongshan relied on the support of warlords everywhere to make a revolution, because this relationship was not strong, especially after Chen Jiongming's rebellion, so that Mr. Zhongshan understood that if the revolution wanted to succeed, he must have his own troops. After a year of having troops, Mr. Nakayama established a revolutionary regime in Guangzhou.
In the chaotic world, there are people, there are guns and waists to harden up, Mr. Nakayama has a certain strength, began to gradually eliminate the southern villain forces, two eastern crusades Chen Jiongming. After the backyard was pacified, he began to plan the Northern Expedition, eliminate the Beiyang warlords and unify the country.
Chen Jiongming
Mr. Zhongshan was old and certainly could not serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, so he made Chiang Kai-shek the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Li Jishen as chief of staff, Bai Chongxi as deputy chief of staff as acting chief of staff, Deng Yanda as director of the political department, and Guo Moruo as deputy director of the political department, with eight armies under his jurisdiction, totaling more than 100,000 people. The Northern Expeditionary Army led by Chiang Kai-shek mainly faced enemies such as Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, and the Warlords of the Feng Clan, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zongchang, and other Beiyang warlords.
Under the command of Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi, and others, the Northern Expeditionary Army was divided into two large armies, and the Fourth (Li Jishen of the Guangdong Army), the Seventh Army (Li Zongren of the Gui Army), and the Eighth Army (Tang Shengzhi of the Xiang Army) defeated Wu Peifu in Hunan and Hubei respectively, and occupied Changsha, Pingjiang, Yueyang, and other cities respectively, and won brilliant victories. The First, Second, Third, and Sixth Armies defeated Sun Chuanfang's main forces in Jiangxi and Jiangsu, allowing the Northern Expedition to achieve a staged victory.
Wu Peifu
The Northern Expeditionary Army, which had just achieved a little success, began to have infighting in order to seize power, and history called the Ning-Han split, ningfang referred to Chiang Kai-shek, and Wufang referred to Wang Jingwei. It was precisely because of their infighting that they almost abandoned the previous achievements of the Northern Expedition. Because at this moment, Sun Chuanfang gathered heavy troops to regain the lost territory, and attacked the city all the way, almost to the outside of Nanjing. At this moment, He Yingqin, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi commanded the First Army and the Seventh Army to resist Sun Chuanfang's attack at Longtan, and it was these three men who turned the tide and saved the Northern Expeditionary Army in the Battle of Longtan, because the victory of this battle completely caused Sun Chuanfang to fall from power and fall into the wilderness, and he has been devastated ever since. However, the victory in this battle laid the foundation of the Kuomintang.
Bai Chongxi
In January 1928, the Northern Expedition army once again swore an oath to the Northern Expedition and completed the great cause of the Northern Expedition, this time with Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army joining, as well as Yan Xishan's Jin Army can be said to have greatly increased in strength, when the Northern Expeditionary Army was divided into four group armies, the First, Second, Third and Fourth Army, which were commanded by Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and Li Zongren, each of which basically had 200,000 troops. Therefore, the Beiyang Anguo Army was quickly defeated, and Zhang Zuolin was defeated and retreated to the outside of the pass, and on the way home, the train passed through Huanggutun and was killed by the Japanese.
After Zhang Xueliang took over the fengjun, on December 29, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing the "Northeast Yizhi", the northern expedition was a complete success, and the National Government formally unified the country. What would have happened if He Yingqin, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi had not defeated Sun Chuanfang in the Battle of Longtan? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
