On September 20, 1899, Tang Enbo was born in Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province, a peasant family, formerly known as Tang Keqin, the character Enbo, in order to thank his father's mentor Chen Yi, in the name of the word, the world has known Tang Enbo.
Chen Yizi Gongxia, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, studied in Japan in his early years, graduated from the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School (Chiang Kai-shek's classmate) and the Army University, and after returning to China, he served in senior military positions and important government positions in the Beiyang Military Government.
Compared with Chen Yi, Tang Enbo is much more miserable, but Tang Enbo has his own nobleman at each stage, which is also the basis for his later ability to soar, Tang Enbo was admitted to Jinhua Seventh Middle School after completing primary school in his hometown, and after graduation, he went to Japan to study, and began to go to Meiji University.
Originally it was a good learning opportunity, but the Tang family was too poor, with him to go east to Japan to study with his hometown friend Tong Lexun returned to China in advance, he saw that Tang Enbo did not have living expenses and tuition fees, so he left a sum of money for Tang Enbo, let Tang Enbo open a small restaurant, while working and going to school, but Tang Enbo had no talent for business, and soon lost a mess, so Tang Enbo could not survive, and could only close the shop and drop out of school to return to China.

Tang Enbo, a "turtle" who dropped out of school halfway through, just returned to China very tragically, running around looking for a job before Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Yiwu, but he could not find a suitable job, and he could not even eat. Just when he was at a loss, after his friends matchmaking, met the then governor of Zhejiang Province Xia Chao, after a conversation, Xia Chao decided on the spot to fund Tang Enbo 50 yuan per month to go to Japan to continue to complete his studies, I have to say that Tang Enbo's communication skills are still very strong, so Tang Enbo met the first nobleman, and his studies also encountered a turnaround.
Tang Enbo went to Japan with an excited mood to continue his studies, but he did not know why Xia Chao only funded for a few months and then stopped giving him money, and as a result, Tang Enbo, who did not graduate, had to return to China due to financial problems. "Turtle" Tang Enbo returned to China to find a job to find a way, but always could not find a suitable, so Tang Enbo could not eat again, in the case of desperation, Tang Enbo, who had a failed experience, hardened his scalp and cheekily went to a fellow villager named Lü Gongwang, Lü Gongwang did not fund him, but seeing that Tang Enbo was not an ordinary person in the future, he introduced him to Chen Yi, Chen Yi later became the governor of Zhejiang Province, it can be said that Tang Enbo and the governor of Zhejiang Province are very close.
Chen Yi
Chen Yi saw that Tang Enbo was personable, tall and burly, and would definitely make a difference in the future, so he promised him to fund him 50 yuan a month to go to Japan to complete his studies, Tang Enbo immediately knelt down, and said: The parents who gave birth to me, the one who knows me, Chen Lao, the student is willing to respect you as a teacher, life and death and common", Chen Yi also has no heirs, so he treats Tang Enbo as a righteous son, and also gives Tang Enbo a niece who is both talented and beautiful, Chen Yi can be said to be a noble person in Tang Enbo's life, and Tang Enbo's promotion in the official field is all inseparable from Chen Yi's promotion and recommendation. Until Chen Yi was later betrayed by Tang Enbo and executed by Chiang Kai-shek, this is the last word.
Tang Enbo returned to Japan to continue his studies, and after graduation, he returned to China to join the army in the Nationalist government army and was gradually promoted, and Tang Enbo met the biggest nobleman, his patron Chiang Kai-shek, and from then on he embarked on the road of following Chiang Kai-shek wholeheartedly and embarking on the counter-revolutionary road of only looking at power and opposing the people. I think you must ask, is it a lot to fund 50 yuan a month? What kind of concept is it? To give you an example, you will understand that the living expenses of 1 yuan a month for ordinary people are enough (eating and living is not bad and not good), the monthly funding of 50 yuan is equivalent to the living expenses of ordinary 50 people, and the living expenses of 8,000 people in the Red Army for 3 months are only 2,000 yuan, which shows that Tang Enbo's funding is very high.
Su Yu and Tang Enbo's first confrontation was during the agrarian revolution in 1934, when the Central Soviet Region, in order to alleviate the fifth "encirclement and suppression" of Chiang Kai-shek's million-strong army, set up the Red Army's anti-Japanese advance team to the north, with Huaizhou as the commander of the army, Le Shaohua as the political commissar, and Su Yu as the chief of staff. The Anti-Japanese Advance Team of the Red Army marched north from Ruijin, Jiangxi, through Fujian and Zhejiang, and finally reached Anhui to meet Fang Zhimin.
At this time, not far from the time of the Long March of the Red Army, in early 1934, Tang Enbo led the 89th Division from Jiangxi into Fujian and captured Fuzhou on January 13, and in February Tang Enbo was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the Tenth Column of the Fifth Route Army of the Gansu-Guangdong-Fujian-Edong Road Army, and in July successively conquered Jiangle, Taining, Jianning, Shicheng and other places, and at this time in July, the Red Army's anti-Japanese advance team departed from Ruijin, passing through Fujian, and just happened to meet the Kuomintang army led by Tang Enbo, but the anti-Japanese advance team in the north in order to mobilize the Kuomintang army to catch up. Reducing the pressure on the Central Soviet Region and not daring to fight, Tang Enbo did not seize the weak Su Yu, so the first confrontation between the two ended with Su Yu's victory.
Su Yu
The second confrontation was in May 1947, after the failure of the all-out offensive, the Kuomintang army changed to focus on attacking the Shandong Liberated Area and Yan'an, Tang Enbo led the Kuomintang army 3 corps a total of 17 integrated divisions from Linyi and Tai'an to attack in three ways, in a vain attempt to force Huaye to an unfavorable position and carry out a decisive battle. On May 13, Huaye Suyu clamped down on the enemy on both wings with 4 columns, concentrated 5 columns to divide the reorganized 74th Division from the Nationalist army and surrounded Menglianggu, and after 3 days and nights of fierce fighting, completely annihilated the ace of the Nationalist ace, the 74th Division and a regiment of the 83rd Division, totaling more than 32,000 people. After the battle of Menglianggu, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Tang Enbo to Nanjing, scolded Tang Enbo for being incompetent in front of all the senior generals, and was removed by Chiang Kai-shek and not renewed. Later, it was Chen Yi who maneuvered through it that made Tang Enbo reactivated.
After the victory of the three major battles, followed by the Battle of the River Crossing, Huaye and Nakano broke through the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and captured the Kuomintang capital Nanjing, and the Chiang family dynasty, which ruled China for 22 years, collapsed. As early as January 18, 1949, when Chiang Kai-shek was about to step down, Tang Enbo was appointed commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou garrison, and let him take on the heavy responsibility of defending the Yangtze River and Shanghai, and with the victory of the Battle of the Crossing River, Tang Enbo's remaining heavy responsibility was to defend Shanghai.
Zhang Zhen
The third confrontation was in April 1949, Tang Enbo and Chen Daqing led 8 armies and 25 divisions of the Kuomintang army, a total of 200,000 people, to build strong fortifications in Shanghai, to carry out stubborn resistance, Chiang Kai-shek privately sent ships from Shanghai all the way to Taiwan, in order to block the passage for Chiang Kai-shek to rush to transport materials, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou agreed to liberate Shanghai as soon as possible, and Tang Enbo was going to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. Su Yu and Zhang Zhen led Huaye's 9th Corps, 10th Corps, 7th Corps, 8th Corps, and a column of special forces from Changzhou to Suzhou, Shanghai has become an isolated island surrounded, but Shanghai is after all the most developed industrial city, if broken, the value of liberation will be greatly reduced, in order to liberate Shanghai as soon as possible, cut off Chiang Kai-shek's material delivery channels, Chairman Mao personally deployed.
Under the command of Su Yu, after a month of struggle, on May 28, with the exception of 50,000 people from Tang Enbo's 54th Army who fled to Zhoushan and Taiwan, all the remaining 150,000 people were annihilated, and Shanghai finally returned to the hands of the people. Su Yu once again won a complete victory against Tang Enbo.
Tang Enbo's military ability was not bad, and Chen Cheng and Hu Zongnan were in charge of heavy troops, and they became one of the three major military giants of the Kuomintang army, but through Li Zongren's evaluation, it can be seen that Li Zongren is very contemptuous of Tang Enbo, he said that Tang Enbo was a general, well planned before the war, and orderly, but once the war started, the command was chaotic, overwhelmed, and relatively sober after the war, and summed up the reasons for failure in a timely manner, but always found reasons for defeat and loss of troops, and shirked responsibility.
So what do you think? What is the difference between Tang Enbo and Su Yu's military command? Are they in the Yuliang controversy? Comments are welcome!
