introduction
During the chaotic period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang and the Communists finally reached an armistice agreement in order to jointly resist Japan, but despite this. There was still a certain estrangement between the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang. Under the intentional or unintentional authorization of the leaders, the Kuomintang army sometimes still adopted passive anti-Japanese moves, which undermined the national righteousness and was really disgraceful.
The years of the War of Resistance
Fang Zhenwu's background
However, during this period, there was such a figure who, in defiance of the orders of his superiors, swore to die in protest, and this person was the famous anti-Japanese general Fang Zhenwu. Fang Zhenwu, formerly known as Fang Yunce, was born in 1885 in Shou County, Anhui Province. Due to the poverty of the family, his mother died at an early age, and his father supported the family by selling oil. In order to reduce the burden on the family, Fang Zhenwu began to carry water for a living at the age of 15.
Fang Zhenwu
In 1906, Fang Zhenwu was admitted to the Anqing Wubei Military Training Academy. After graduation, he entered the Anqing Horse Artillery Battalion as a soldier. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Fang Zhenwu participated in many revolutionary activities such as the Battle of Guangnan. After Sun Yat-sen's death, Fang Zhenwu was appreciated by Feng Yuxiang and was appointed commander of the Fifth Army of the Nationalist Army.
The Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army was established
In 1931, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek adopted the strategy of "outside the country must first be at home", ordering the Nationalist Army to passively resist Japan. But this clearly went against the tactics of the Soviet side, which met with Feng Yuxiang privately and provided him with guns and other military supplies. Feng Yuxiang, who originally had patriotic feelings in his heart, established the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army and appointed Fang Zhenwu as deputy commander-in-chief.

With the addition of patriotic people, the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army gradually developed into an important anti-Japanese force with 120,000 people and 100,000 guns, and under the joint command of Feng Yuxiang and Fang Zhenwu, the Japanese army and puppet troops were finally driven out of Chahar Province.

However, this matter was seen by Chiang Kai-shek, who was extremely displeased with this anti-Japanese force. In order to eliminate the Allied forces, Chiang Kai-shek privately reached an agreement with the Japanese army. After Fang Zhenwu learned of this news, he was not afraid. Instead, he began to design a deployment and waited for the arrival of the Japanese puppet army. Later, after the bloody battle of the Allied forces, it not only severely damaged the Japanese puppet army, but also recovered Doron.

Fang Zhenwu was unwilling to give in
This completely annoyed Chiang Kai-shek, who ordered He Yingqin to gather 150,000 troops and directly attack the allies. The Allied forces were surrounded by chiang and Japanese forces, and suddenly lost supplies from the Soviet side, and finally outnumbered, Feng Yuxiang had to order the disbandment of the allied forces. However, Fang Zhenwu was unwilling to give in, so he became the acting commander-in-chief of the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army and continued to fight.
Unfortunately, under the pressure of many forces, the Allies were eventually defeated. Fortunately, Fang Zhenwu escaped smoothly and fled to Hong Kong. In 1941, the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong and Hong Kong fell. Fang Zhenwu returned to Guangdong and planned to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the interior, but unfortunately was trapped by secret agents and eventually killed.
During the War of Resistance
At this point, a generation of famous anti-Japanese generals Fang Zhenwu, who was enthusiastic about resisting Japan, ended up in such a fate, which is really heartbreaking. However, the patriotic spirit that has survived has been passed down to this day and is worthy of reverence and study by every descendant of Yanhuang. What do you think about that?
