After the Liberation War, who were the 5 senior generals of the Nationalist Army who died in the War Criminals Management Center?
After the end of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang generals who were captured on the battlefield also officially began a life of reform. At that time, although they had some restrictions in the war criminals management center, they basically lived a life of food and clothing, and some Kuomintang generals who performed well in active reform would be released with amnesty very early. However, some Kuomintang generals did not wait for the day when they received amnesty due to their physical health. Today, let's talk about the 5 senior generals of the National Army who died in the War Criminals Management Center, and see who they are?
1. Tang Yao. Tang Yao, a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, graduated from the Hefei Armed Forces Academy, and later entered the special class of the Kuomintang Army University and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan. At the end of the Liberation War, Tang Yao served as chief of staff of the Kuomintang Army General Command, leading his troops to retreat all the way to Yunnan, where he was defeated and captured in January 1950. At that time, Tang Yao's official position was frighteningly high, and he was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Army. After that, Tang Yao was sent to the War Criminals Management Center for rehabilitation, and died of illness in 1962, not waiting for the day he received the amnesty, at the age of 65.
2. Wang Jingguo. Wang Jingguo was a native of Wutai, Shanxi, who graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School and had been serving under Yan Xishan. During the Liberation War, Wang Jingguo served as commander of the Kuomintang 10th Corps, but was defeated and captured in the Battle of Taiyuan in April 1949. In 1952, Wang Jingguo, who was in poor health, died of illness in the war criminals management center at the age of 59. Seven years after Wang Jingguo's death, in 1959, the mainland began its work as the first batch of amnesty for Kuomintang war criminals.
3. Zhong Bin. Zhong Bin is a native of Xingning, Guangdong, graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Later in the Liberation War, Zhong Bin served as commander of the Nationalist 14th Corps, but was later destroyed and captured in the Battle of Fuling in November 1949. Not long after, Zhong Bin died of illness at the War Criminals Management Center in 1950 at the age of 50, becoming the first senior Kuomintang general to die of illness in the War Criminals Management Center.
Fourth, Zhang Gan. Zhang Gan, a native of Guilin, Guangxi, graduated from the Guangxi Army Accelerated School and has been working under Bai Chongxi, a gui clan tycoon. During the Liberation War, Zhang Gan served as commander of the Kuomintang 3rd Corps, but was defeated and captured in the Battle of Guangxi in December 1949. After that, Zhang Gan was sent to the War Criminals Management Center for rehabilitation, but due to physical health reasons, Zhang Gan died of illness in the War Criminals Management Center in February 1959 at the age of 62, and the first batch of amnesty war criminals began a few months later.
5. Liu Jiashu. Liu Jiashu is a native of Yiyang, Hunan Province, graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

After that, Liu Jiashu began a career of reform, and died in 1972 at the war criminals management center at the age of 69. Three years after Liu Jiashu's death, the last batch of amnesties in 1975 released all the kuomintang war criminals in custody, and it is clear that Liu Jiashu did not wait for that day.
