Source: After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army threatened to end the fighting in three months. In the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many famous anti-Japanese generals emerged, who spilled their blood on the battlefield and raised the prestige of the mainland.
Tenth place, "Tiger General of the National Army" Wang Yaowu
He is the person most afraid of the Japanese army in the Anti-Japanese War, and it is rumored in the army: It is better to touch the king of Hades than to touch the old king
Generally speaking, the reputation of the generals of the national army is generally not very good, but this Wang Yaowu has little problem in terms of personal morality and military exploits, and has even won the approval of the Communist Party.
Wang Yaowu was born in 1904 in Tai'an, Shandong, and was in the third phase of Huangpu. Those who are familiar with the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will know that this Wang Yaowu once led out the 74th Army of the Anti-Japanese "Iron Army", and from 1937 to 1945, he almost never suffered defeat in the war against Japan, led the army to kill nearly 100,000 enemies, and was elected as a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang at the age of 40 because of his outstanding military exploits in the Battle of Xuefeng Mountain.
Zhang Lingfu, who everyone talks about, has always been Wang Yaowu's confidant. In the Battle of Wuhan in 1938, the 51st Division participated in the siege of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army trapped in Wanjialing. Due to the tight defense of the Japanese army, the Chinese army was repeatedly overcome.
At this time, Wang Yaowu was ordered to select a 300-man death squad from the army to successfully attack the Japanese position in Zhanggushan at night, laying a solid foundation for the friendly forces to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army. After the war, he was promoted to deputy commander of the 74th Army, and another year later, he was promoted to lieutenant general of the 74th Army. Because the 74th Army is good at fighting, it is also listed by the Military Commission as one of the only four assault armies in the country.
Among the senior generals of the Kuomintang army, Wang Yaowu is still very commendable, he can fight and be a man.
The Ninth, Anti-Japanese Famous General Du Liangming
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led China's only armored corps in a bloody battle against the Japanese invaders, from Shanghai to Burma. Du Yuming this person dares to fight, during the August 13 Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuming is the commander of the rare armored corps in the Chinese army, in order to crush the Japanese army's attempt to destroy China in three months, Du Yuming bet on the old book in the Battle of Songhu,
Almost completely wiped out in the battle. On December 18, 1939, the Battle of Kunlun Pass, a bloody battle between the Fifth Army and the Japanese invaders, began. In this battle, Du Yuming's Fifth Army fought for 18 days, and finally wiped out the Japanese invaders, which was the great victory of Kunlun Pass that shocked China and foreign countries.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Du Yuming can be called a generation of famous generals, and made significant contributions to the victory of China's War of Resistance against Japan. However, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Du Yuming obeyed Lao Chiang's order and turned his gun to our army!
On the other hand, Du Yuming's life can be said to be "mixed achievements", in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he commanded the army to fight bravely and severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army.
Eighth place, "Guan Iron Fist" Guan Linzheng
Guan Linzheng's name is not simple! He was already very famous in the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, not only because he became the commander of the army at an early age like Hu Zongnan, but also because he was the second president of the Whampoa Military Academy after Chiang Kai-shek, which is now called the principal of the Army Military Academy.
Moreover, he was also the last commander-in-chief of the Huangpu army on the mainland, and when it came to fighting, he was even more of a tiger general! During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he played the title of "Guan Tie Fist" and personally trained the 52 nd Army, which was then known as the sixth trump card.
The Great Battle at Taierzhuang in 1938. Guan Linzheng led the 52nd Army to counterattack the Japanese at the last critical moment, beating them and causing heavy losses to the enemy.
At that time, people called Sun Lianzhong, who was fortified, "Sun Gangtou", and Guan Linzheng, who was attacking, "Guan Tiequan". Even Chiang Kai-shek was full of praise for the 52nd Army: "As long as our army can be like the 52nd Army, it will definitely not be a problem to defeat the Japanese invaders." ”
Seventh place, "Iron General" Sun Lianzhong
Speaking of this general, he is one of the famous 13 Taibao! Feng Yuxiang's group. In the Great War of 1938, he led his troops to carry the Japanese devils in Taierzhuang, and beat them to the ground, and his army continued to grow, becoming the backbone of the Anti-Japanese War.
I still remember that year, he led his team to greet the surrender of the Japanese North China Front in front of the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, which was really majestic! Then, because he was not used to seeing people's corrupt behavior, he felt that he could not cooperate with it, so he resolutely quit his job. He taught his children and grandchildren, "Learn a technology and serve the country with industry."
None of his descendants chose to enter politics or join the military. What is this person's name?
In the battle to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, Sun Lianzhong behaved like a real soldier, not only enthusiastic, but also maintained great dignity. In the long course of history, the Taierzhuang War played a crucial role, more than 50,000 brave soldiers fought fiercely with the Japanese army, and finally successfully killed more than 20,000 enemies, this battle allowed the Chinese to regain their self-confidence.
On April 3, 1938, the Japanese occupied the southeast gate of Taierzhuang, directly entered the inner walled city nearly 100 meters, and used tear gas bombs. At that time, almost two-thirds of Taierzhuang was occupied by the Japanese army, and most of our defensive forces were lost.
However, Sun Lianzhong's team firmly guarded the corner of Nanguan and never retreated. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, which lasted for a whole month, Sun Lianzhong's troops successfully eliminated more than 20,000 people from the two squads of Itagaki and Isogu, creating the first great victory in the history of the Anti-Japanese War.
In addition to the Battle of Taierzhuang, Sun Lianzhong also participated in many other large-scale battles during the Anti-Japanese War, such as the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Southern Henan, the Battle of Shipai and the Battle of Changde.
Sixth place, "Live Guan Yu" Zhang Zizhong
He was the commander-in-chief of the group army and personally led his troops to the forefront. He once silently bears the infamy of a traitor, and also fought the Japanese army in Taierzhuang. He was a high-ranking Kuomintang general, but he was respected by the people. Mao Zedong inscribed an elegy for him to "serve the country with loyalty";
Zhou Enlai praised him: "His loyalty and heroic spirit can be the soul of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War soldiers." ”
There are thousands of roads in Beijing, but there are only three with the names of modern figures: Zhang Zizhong Road in Dongcheng District, Tong Linge Road and Zhao Dengyu Road in Xicheng District, which is a special commemoration of the city of Beijing. In the aftermath of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu sacrificed, and Zhang Zizhong was charged with "traitor", but he counterattacked in his later life and became an anti-Japanese hero admired by tens of thousands of people.
In May 1940, the Battle of Zaoyi broke out, Japan gathered 15 armies to attack Zaoyi, Xiangyang, Yichang and other places, Zhang Zizhong led the troops to resist the Japanese invaders on the front line, the battle was quite fierce, in order to cover the evacuation of the people and the large army, General Zhang Zizhong took the lead and charged ahead,
Even if he was surrounded by the Japanese army, General Zhang Zizhong did not retreat, but due to the disparity in troops, the general was unfortunately shot in the fierce battle, and finally died heroically for the country with 7 shots, at the age of 49.
Fifth place, "Fu General" Li Zongren
Li Zongren was a famous general during the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and was recognized by the Japanese army as one of the outstanding generals of the Chinese army.

Especially in the Battle of Wuhan in 1938, he commanded the Chinese army to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army at Wanjialing, achieving the greatest victory since the Anti-Japanese War.
Li Zongren was not only an outstanding general, but also a patriot. He always put the interests of the country and the nation in the first place, resisted Chiang Kai-shek's unreasonable orders on many occasions, and made important contributions to safeguarding the interests of the country and the nation. In 1965, Li Zongren returned from overseas and was welcomed by the party and the people.
Fourth place, "Hero of the World" Xie Jinyuan
Everyone must have seen the movie "Eight Hundred"? That was in 1937. At that time, the Japanese devils occupied Dachang, Jiangwan, Zhabei, and Miaohang in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and they wanted to cut off the retreat of our Chinese army.
The Kuomintang government's Military Commission made a decision to withdraw most of its troops to the other side of the Suzhou Creek. And guess what? On October 26, an officer named Xie Jinyuan from the regimental headquarters of the 524th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division of the Kuomintang was ordered to stay in Zhabei with more than 420 of his subordinates, responsible for ensuring the smooth retreat of the large army.
In the early morning of October 27, they hid in the Sixing warehouse north of Suzhou Creek. At that time, in order to deceive those devils, they said to the outside world that there were 800 people here, so people later called them "Eight Hundred Heroes".
On the morning of October 27, the Japanese devils found that there were still Chinese troops in the Sixing warehouse, and immediately began to attack them. The "Eight Hundred Heroes" were not afraid and fought with them.
On the evening of October 28, Xie Jinyuan told his soldiers the truth: "We will defend this Sixing warehouse to the death, and even if we use our lives, we will live and die with our position!" He said his determination so impassionedly and gave everything for our motherland and nation.
Xie Jinyuan also wrote a poem to motivate himself when he was young: The mountains and rivers are broken, and it hurts, and he loves his hometown as a mediocre husband. I am willing to write from Ban Dingyuan, and the history of the millennium is still lingering. is such a flesh-and-blood famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, on April 24, 1941, four soldiers were bought by the traitor Wang Jingwei at the time, and when Xie Jinyuan was not paying attention, they smashed him with an iron pickaxe
Xie Jinyuan was seriously injured and died of excessive blood loss at the age of 37, so he sacrificed his precious life to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Third place, "101 Victorious General" Wei Lihuang
"Tiger General" Wei Lihuang, a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, deputy commander of the Second Theater of Operations, although the Battle of Xinkou failed, its historical significance cannot be ignored, and the Japanese army also paid the price of 20,000 casualties, creating a record in the North China battlefield. Later, he served as the commander of the Second Expeditionary Force, and went to Burma to open up the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the lifeline of the southwest.
The Japanese army also called Wei Lihuang a "tiger general", the Americans called him a "victorious general", and Wei Lihuang was the most well-deserved of Chiang Kai-shek's "five tiger generals".
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wei Lihuang led his troops to the north to resist the Japanese, and in October 1938, he blocked the Japanese army in the Battle of Xinkou, and did not let the Japanese army break through the Xinkou defense line.
During the battle, Wei Lihuang's troops were surrounded by the Japanese army, and with the assistance of the Eighth Route Army, Wei Lihuang was able to successfully escape through Yan'an. General Wei Demai, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army in India, praised Wei Lihuang as a "101 victorious general", which means that "a hundred victories in a hundred battles" are not enough to commend his military exploits.
second place, "military geek" Lin Biao
The Battle of Pingxingguan created Lin Biao's status as a "famous anti-Japanese general", and some people said that Lin Biao's thin body contained extraordinary strategies, and he had a set of ideas for fighting.
It is also said that once Lin Biao enters the state of imminent battle, he will put everything out of the way, ignore everything that has nothing to do with the war, sit or pace back and forth like a sleepwalker, and only war, war, war in his mind......
Lin Biao was very arbitrary in warfare, and he often commanded the division directly, especially in sports warfare. In important battles and important directions, he sometimes commanded directly to the regiment. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lin Biao commanded the battle of Pingxingguan, annihilated more than 1,000 people of the 21st Brigade of the Itagaki Division, and captured a large number of military supplies, which was the first total annihilation victory of the Communist Party in the War of Resistance against Japan.
First place, "Mr. Peng" Peng Dehuai
Chairman Mao left behind many majestic and well-known masterpieces in his lifetime, especially many of his poems were written in the revolutionary years, demonstrating Chairman Mao's broad-mindedness and foresight.
Sometimes he even used poetry to praise the victories of the soldiers. For example, we are all familiar with "who dares to cross the sword immediately, only I am General Peng", which reflects Chairman Mao's high praise for Peng Dehuai.
In the second half of 1940, Peng Dehuai commanded more than 200,000 troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Jincha Military Region, with a total of 105 regiments, and launched an offensive campaign against the Japanese puppet army in the 100-regiment battle in North China.
In this campaign, more than 1,800 large and small battles were fought, more than 2,900 strongholds were conquered, and more than 45,000 Japanese puppet troops were annihilated, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese puppet army, boosted the fighting spirit of the Chinese military and civilians in the War of Resistance, and strengthened their confidence in victory.
On September 23, 1937, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng led the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to be stationed in Nanru Village, Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, and deployed the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army to block the elite Itagaki Division of the Japanese army at Pingxingguan.
Under the planning and deployment of Mr. Peng, Lin Biao led the 115th Division to achieve the "Pingxingguan Victory", breaking the myth of "the invincibility of the Japanese army" and greatly encouraging the confidence of the people of the whole country in winning the War of Resistance.
