In 1931, after the September 18 Incident, Japan began to invade China, and after 14 years of arduous resistance, the people of Chinese finally won the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the people of the whole country ushered in a peaceful life. However, the Kuomintang reactionaries headed by Chiang Kai-shek brazenly launched a civil war in disregard of the opposition of the people of all nationalities throughout the country.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yan'an was known as the "Holy Land of Revolution", and aspiring young people from all over the country rushed to Yan'an to participate in anti-Japanese activities, so Yan'an was regarded as a thorn in the side of Chiang Kai-shek. In 1947, Chiang Kai-shek ordered his proud protégé Hu Zongnan to lead an army of 250,000 to attack Yan'an, and the Yan'an Defense War broke out.
The main force attacking Yan'an was Hu Zongnan's concubines, the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. At that time, the First Army was reorganized into the Reorganized First Division, and the commander of the Reorganized First Division, Luo Lie, also became the "vanguard" of the invasion of Yan'an. Today we will talk about the "vanguard" of the invasion of Yan'an, and what happened to him after he fled to Taiwan.
Luo Lie was born in 1907, a native of Liancheng, Fujian Province. In 1924, at the age of 17, Luo Lie entered the Guangdong Higher Normal School, and he originally wanted to become a teacher, but in that special era, it was difficult for the literati to have a future, and Luo Lie gradually had the idea of abandoning Wen Congrong in his heart. At that time, Guangdong was the center of the revolution, and the list of students studying in Guangdong was gradually influenced by revolutionary ideas, and in 1926, he entered the fourth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and became classmates with Hu Lian, Zhang Lingfu and others.
After graduation, Luo Lie joined the Whampoa Army in the Crusade and became the party representative of the Crusade Army. At the beginning of his military career, Roley fully realized his shortcomings, so he was admitted to the Army University in 1932 and became an instructor at the Army University after graduation. In 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was listed in Hu Zongnan's First Army and served as the chief of staff of the First Army.
According to the generations, Luo Lie was Hu Zongnan's disciple, both of whom were from the Huangpu department, and Luo Lie had also studied at the Army University, so he was deeply trusted by Hu Zongnan, and Hu Zongnan also took good care of this disciple, and in 1939 he promoted Luo Lie to the chief of staff of the Thirty-fourth Group Army.
As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek's troops are called the National Revolutionary Army, and the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army is Chiang Kai-shek's concubine, and for a long time, Hu Zongnan was the commander of the First Army, and Hu Zongnan was called "the first person to be born in Tianzi", which was the concubine of Chiang Kai-shek's concubine. In order to show his trust in Luo Lie, in June 1945, on the recommendation of Hu Zongnan, Luo Lie was promoted to the commander of the First Army. At that time, Luo Li was very young, only 38 years old, and he was a rare young Junjie in the Kuomintang.
In 1946, the Nationalist government reorganized the military apparatus, and the First Army was reorganized into the Reorganized First Division, and Listed served as the commander of the Reorganized First Division. In March 1947, under the command of Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Zongnan, Luo Lie led his reorganized 1st Division to invade Yan'an, and the Yan'an Defense War broke out. During the Yan'an Defense War, our Party finally succeeded in winning the Yan'an Defense War through strategic transfer, and the Kuomintang troops headed by Luo Lie ended in failure.
After this, the Kuomintang was defeated, especially after 1949, as the Kuomintang was gradually defeated, Chiang Kai-shek also led the remnants of his army to flee to Taiwan. As a loyal student of Chiang Kai-shek, Luo Lie did not want to give up at first, and he wanted to stick to Xichang in order to repay Chiang Kai-shek's kindness to him. Unfortunately, the situation at that time was no longer within the control of Luo Lie, and in 1951, Luo Lie fled to Taiwan with the Kuomintang troops.
After fleeing to Taiwan, He was appointed "Lieutenant General staff officer of Taiwan's defense department" and promoted to "deputy chief of staff" in 1955. In 1956, Lori continued to be reused and promoted to "Commander-in-Chief of the First Army", and three years later he was transferred to "Commander-in-Chief of the Army". It is worth mentioning that Hu Zongnan, the former commander of The List, fled to Taiwan and only served as the "guerrilla commander-in-chief" of Dachen Island, and every time he saw Luo Lie, Hu Zongnan would salute him.
In 1962, He served as the president of the "Taiwan Tri-Service United University", and soon after his retirement, He served as a "strategic adviser to the Presidential Office" and a "national policy adviser" in Taiwan, and finally died of illness in 1976 at the age of 69.
