In the confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, some Kuomintang generals, such as Xue Yue and Zhang Lingfu, although they were no longer opponents of the PLA, still waged fierce confrontations with our army with their heroic and tenacious fighting style.
The Beginning: A Profound Historical Chapter of the Confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party
During the Liberation War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party once again engaged in a confrontation, and Friday's North Korean artillery shooting incident attracted widespread attention from the international community. This makes people can't help but look back on the past and think about who among the generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party during the War of Liberation was able to stand out and stand out from the crowd in this period of historical changes.
Xue Yue: A military hero in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War
Dating back to the Anti-Japanese War, we will first think of Xue Yue. In 1907, Xue Yue entered the Baoding Army Military Academy and formed a special friendship with Chiang Kai-shek, a student at that time. During the agrarian revolution, Xue Yue had already served as the commander of the corps and actively participated in the "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army, although at a heavy cost. His military decisions not only posed a threat to the Red Army's Long March, but also gave Chiang Kai-shek influence in the southwest on the eve of the civil war. Although he failed to completely exterminate the Red Army, Xue Yue had a high reputation within the Kuomintang and became a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang Army.
The pinnacle of the Anti-Japanese War: Xue Yue's heroic contributions
In May 1938, Xue Yue presided over the Battle of Lanfeng, which had a profound impact on the War of Resistance Against Japan. He adopted the strategy of "retreating and fighting a decisive battle", and successfully gradually led the Japanese army into the encirclement, and finally annihilated a large number of enemy troops. This tactic is known as the "Heavenly Furnace Tactics" and has become the highlight of the national army. Between 1939 and 1942, Xue Yue commanded the Nationalist Army in three battles of Changsha, with remarkable results. However, in the early days of the civil war, although Xue Yue organized several attacks on the liberated areas, he failed to achieve victory and was eventually transferred to the rear.
Zhang Lingfu: The proud general of the fourth phase of Whampoa
Zhang Lingfu, who was born in the fourth phase of Huangpu, rose to prominence in the War of Resistance Against Japan. At the beginning of the war, he was incorporated into the 74th Army, and although he did not achieve much victory, he was repeatedly promoted for his bravery. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Lingfu's 74th Army became one of the five trump cards of the Kuomintang and accepted a full set of arms from the United States. However, Zhang Lingfu failed to match the senior commanders of the People's Liberation Army in terms of specific strategic thinking, and did not participate in major battles such as the large-scale Battle of Changsha.
The pinnacle of the decisive battle: Huang Baitao, a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War
Huang Baitao, born in the fourth phase of Huangpu, performed well during the Anti-Japanese War. He served under the Beiyang warlord Li Chun and later defected to Chiang Kai-shek. During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the 25th Army, and successfully changed the image of the miscellaneous army by strictly reorganizing military affairs. However, in the War of Liberation, Huang Baitao still actively participated in the civil war, and although he failed to achieve much on the battlefield, his persistence and courage caused certain resistance to the PLA.
Hu Lian: The "Chinese Chuikov" of the Shipai Defense War
Hu Lian, who was born in the fourth phase of Huangpu, was famous for his stone defense in the Anti-Japanese War. He commanded the 11th Division to successfully block the Japanese army at Shipai, and was known as "China's Chuikov". However, during the War of Liberation, Hu Lian failed to be annihilated by the People's Liberation Army in the Huaihai Campaign and performed well. He was impressed by his military prowess and tenacity.
Fu Zuoyi: From the Xinhai Revolution to the Peaceful Uprising
During the Liberation War, Fu Zuoyi's military career was even more legendary. As early as the Xinhai Revolution, Fu Zuoyi began to get involved in the military and accumulated rich military experience. During the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Zuoyi participated in important battles such as the Battle of Taiyuan and showed outstanding military talent. However, during the War of Liberation, Fu Zuoyi made a surprising choice - a peaceful uprising. He quickly occupied the liberated county seat and became the pioneer of the peaceful liberation of Beiping.
