If Wang Yaowu is one of the few people in the Kuomintang who understands, then Wei Lihuang is the most understanding person in the Kuomintang!
Wei Lihuang is one of the few people in the Kuomintang who has a good relationship with the Communist Party at the rank of general!
He was also a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek who publicly praised the Eighth Route Army!
He is the commander of the expeditionary force!
He is also the "Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Suppression of the Communist Party" who shrank during the Liberation War!
He was the first high-ranking Kuomintang general to return to the mainland!
On the Internet, Wei Lihuang is known as seven and a half roads!
It means that it is very similar to some of the behaviors of the Eighth Route Army!
Let's talk about it today, who is Wei Lihuang?
Wei Lihuang is the strongest in Chiang Kai-shek's so-called five tiger generals!
Compare the other four to find out!
Needless to say, Chen Cheng will not win as long as he is involved in his battle!
Gu Zhutong, who does not go to the battlefield all year round, Chiang Kai-shek's sycophant.
Jiang Dingwen has a hand in escaping, but he is not as good as Sun Yuanliang.
Liu Zhi, luck is good, I don't have the ability! I'm also good at escaping!
Temporary
These four have one thing in common, after following Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition, they feel that they are very capable!
I have won a few battles with those old warlords, and I feel that I am very good at fighting and can fight well! I can't figure out my position at all!
Only Wei Lihuang was able to be recognized by his opponents during the anti-Japanese period!
In participating in the Battle of Nankou, the Battle of Xinkou had a good performance!
In the later period of the anti-Japanese resistance, he commanded the expeditionary force to fight and recover western Yunnan!
1. Wei Lihuang is loyal to the Three People's Principles rather than to Chiang Kai-shek!
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wei Lihuang became friendly with the Eighth Route Army and actively cooperated to resist Japan!
Zhu De
In 1938, Wei Lihuang successively led his subordinates to the headquarters of the 18th Group Army to pay New Year's greetings to Zhu De, and then went to Yan'an to visit Chairman Mao. I deeply admire the work of the Communist Party!
I dare not guarantee that Wei Lihuang is dedicated to the country and the people, but in the matter of resisting Japan, he has the same idea as Mr. Sun, uniting all the forces that can be united to drive imperialism out of China!
Later, because of his deep relationship with the Eighth Route Army, he was removed from his post by Chiang Kai-shek!
2, Wei Lihuang is a very humble Kuomintang general!
This is reflected in his work, after he visited the Eighth Route Army, he felt that the political work of the Eighth Route Army was doing a good job, and he also engaged in the political work team!
felt that the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army were good, and also called on his subordinates to learn, and later Li Mo'an, who had been working under him, also served as the education chief of the Nanyue guerrilla cadre training class!
As long as it is useful, it should be learned!
李默庵
3, Wei Lihuang is also a rare handsome talent in the Kuomintang!
In April 1944, just as Wei Lihuang was preparing to forcibly cross the Nu River, news came that "the Japanese army crossed the Jincheng River from Guangxi and occupied Dushan in Guizhou Province." Guiyang is tight, Chongqing is shaking;" At the same time, it was also reported: "Wang's puppet government sent representatives to infiltrate Kunming and instigate Long Yun and his subordinates to commit treason and defect to the enemy." Then, Wei Lihuang immediately received an urgent telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, and ordered Wei to return to the area of Shilufeng and Chuxiong to monitor Long Yun and strictly prevent Longbu from moving. And dispatched troops to aid Guiyang.
Wei Lihuang believes that the most important enemy at present is the Japanese army across the river, and if the river defense is abandoned and the army is withdrawn to the vicinity of Kunming, the Japanese army can force the Nu River to attack the expeditionary force at any time, and Kunming will be in danger. Then it was precisely the enemy's internal and external attack plan.
If it were someone else, he would definitely listen to Chiang Kai-shek, but Wei Lihuang coordinated with the US military to reinforce Guizhou by air, and on the other hand, he did not give up crossing the river!
In the end, his judgment proved to be very accurate!
Du Lian-ming
Being able to grasp the opportunity and decisively disobey orders is something Du Yuming can't do!
Moreover, because of the relationship between commanding the expeditionary force, the US military also recognized Wei Lihuang very much, believing that Wei Lihuang was an outstanding general! That's why he was later invited to visit Europe and the United States, and was warmly welcomed by the Americans!
4. Similarly, General Wei Lihuang is also a general who understands righteousness!
I won't talk about it during the anti-Japanese period, I have never embarrassed the Communist Party, and it is completely different from Gu Zhutong!
Later, during the Liberation War, I was unwilling, and then I really couldn't go to the Northeast, and I insisted on not sending troops, so that my subordinates could have their own destiny!
In 1949, because he was not active, he was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, and Li Zongren fled Hong Kong after coming to power!
Later, on the day of the founding of New China, a congratulatory message was sent!
In 1955, he was the first high-ranking Kuomintang general to return to the motherland, even more active than those so-called democrats!
General Wei is a rare high-ranking Kuomintang general who is capable, visionary, and righteous!
Of course, no one is perfect, and he also has bad points, and I will talk about it when I have the opportunity to talk about it later!
