With the deepening of the plot of "Armageddon", it will gradually be found that in fact, "Armageddon" is more like "Biography of the Kuomintang", and the whole drama is down, as a decent leader, more like a supporting role, and there are not many shots given! And the generals in the Kuomintang, almost everyone has a detailed account of him. Of course, the way to let the villain be the protagonist is also quite energetic to watch! After all, the average TV series is a decent point of view to tell a story!
In "Armageddon", whether it is the male protagonist Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Lin Biao and other leaders, the fragments can be said to be more than a supporting role Qiao San! Therefore, it can also be seen that the focus of this drama is actually more on the small people in the decent, as well as the big people in the reactionaries! And the big figures in the reactionaries are not the image that people used to bite their teeth and see people hate, but more importantly, they are sad and helpless to serve the country! Among them, there are three particularly impressive leaders, whose performance in the play is particularly "different" in comparison to the villains in the usual impression!
Fan Hanjie's independence
Looking back at the three major battles of the civil war, judging from the pre-war situation, the Liaoshen Campaign was originally the most dangerous of the three major battles, and it was also the one in which the Kuomintang army had the greatest hope of victory in the three major battles. In this battle, Fan Hanjie, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast "Suppression General" and the commander of Jinzhou, arranged troops against the offensive line of the communist army, and it can be said that the pressure on Lin Biao, a talented military general of the communist army, was very great, Fan Hanjie's military command experience was rich, and several adjustments of Jinzhou's troops deployed under the city of dongye were left behind, which caused a lot of problems for the PEOPLE's Liberation Army, which was anxious to take the territory.
In the plot, everyone knows that to fight Jinzhou, Tashan is a key link, but although Tashan is called Tashan, there is no pagoda and no mountain! In other words, there is no danger to defend, only blood shopping! Although the communist army seemed to be superior in numbers at that time, the national army's sea, land, aircraft and artillery was not a joke, plus they were all elite troops, basically ignoring the number problem! As long as the Nationalist army crossed the Tower Mountain in time, the Eastern Field Regiment of the Communist Army was basically in danger of being completely annihilated!
At that time, the battle situation was very interesting: it was the plan of the communist army to attack Jinzhou first, and the nationalist army was in a state of defensive counterattack! However, the Nationalist army must attack Tashan as soon as possible, and the premise of wanting to support Jinzhou is that it must first break through the Tashan held by the communist army! The two sides can be said to be in about the same time: one attack and one defense! One defense and one attack! Playing is a matter of time struggle and cooperation! This is also the famous sniper war! At this time, the defense of Jinzhou City was strong and the troops were abundant, and Fan Hanjie also used the troops directly under the temporary 51st Division and other command posts as a mobile force, ready to replenish the defense gap at any time!
Such overlapping and tightly connected layers of defense made Dongye have to go through a bloody battle to take Jinzhou City. The 62nd Division, which belonged to the 6nd Division of the New Sixth Army and was about to besiege the city, was transferred by Fan Hanjie to Huludao to join forces with the 54th Army of Que Hanqian when the jinzhou war was tight, so that when the jinzhou war was tight, the division or the main force of the 54th Army could be drawn from Huludao to reinforce!
Even more can develop the war to a certain extent, rushing into the Jinzhou area and the 6th Corps and other troops to attack the Dongye siege troops, Fan Hanjie, who has experienced the baptism of war for many years, has experienced the experience of platoon deployment, and also let Dongye find no flaws for a while, except for the blood fight, there is no shortcut, which means that even if he can win the victory, he will have to pay a great price.
In the direction of Tashan, the 54th Army of Que Hanqian and the provisional 62nd Division overwhelmed the attack from the early morning of the 10th, and the Huludao defenders, who gathered naval, land and air fire support, attacked in a three-way breakthrough and fought in the small village of Tashan with the Dongye 4 column in the dark. All this is also in the deployment plan of Fan Hanjie before the war! It is precisely because of the prediction of the terrible points of the battle, so lin biao, a military genius of the communist army before the war, has been hesitant to fight Tashan!
Lin Biao's overall ability is no problem, and Fan Hanjie's cloth strokes after the start of the war also beat Lin Biao to the point of shouting: I don't want casualty numbers! I just want you to keep it!" This sentence can be heard that a high-ranking general who has experienced hundreds of battles is under great pressure! Who doesn't feel sorry for their soldiers? But when an enemy army is broken through, that means defeat on the entire front! The overall plan of the Fan Hanjie Liaoshen Campaign persuaded the more dictatorial Chiang Kai-shek! You can see the security of this plan!
But it was the military genius Mao Zedong who insisted on attacking Jinzhou, and his reason was simple! There are many excellent military experts like Fan Hanjie in the national army! But there are very few generals like Fan Hanjie who "put the overall situation first"! Therefore, Mao Zedong's overall plan for Fan Hanjie certainly believed that in the end there would be serious problems in non-cooperation, and it would also give the communist army the opportunity to change history. The frenzied bombardment battle two days before Tashan had blown Lin Biao to the point of fidgeting, knowing that the communists were using the softest weaknesses to confront the hardest advantages of the Nationalist army.
But on the third day, Chiang Kai-shek still couldn't help but intervene! He gave Que Hanqian an order to truce the whole army for a day, waiting for the support of Roach and his 95th Division! This made Que Hanqian and Fan Hanjie depressed, and they gave the communist army a day's respite! And the procrastination on the Tashan side also created opportunities for the communist forces in Jinzhou. Fan Hanjie's perfect plan to make dumplings, because of the intrigues of the 54th, 64th, and 95th Divisions and Chiang Kai-shek's intervention, wasted the best time to cross Tashan in vain!
And the two armies of Wei Lihuang and Liao Yaoxiang did not rescue as planned! In the words of our army, many times, some of Chiang Kai-shek's sudden decisions are more like the internal response of being plotted against, and God assists in helping! Seeing the captured Fan Hanjie, Lin Biao came up and asked, Is it your platoon? It can be seen that Lin Biao still recognizes this opponent more! If it weren't for Fan Hanjie's teammates not being able to give strength, it would be difficult to say who would win or lose!
Of course, Fan Hanjie is also obedient, even if his teammates do not give strength, if the communist army does not have a lifeless way of playing, it is impossible to win this battle! The Communist army is estimated to be the army he fears the most after this battle! And he Fan Han Jie at this moment, he is lonely! Because he is only him, a lonely person! But Lin Biao has teammates who work together, and Mao Zedong supports him!
As a relative of Chiang Kai-shek, Fan Hanjie could not have imagined that he would fight such a ridiculous final battle after repeated defeats to the Japanese army! When Fan Hanjie picked up a bottle of red wine and smashed it against the portrait on the wall, he could see that he was extremely disappointed in the Kuomintang government at that time! The shot of him smashing the bottle out is definitely a stroke of genius! All his despair was in this fall! As the first phase of Huangpu, his helplessness at this moment can be felt across the screen!
Huang Baitao's confusion
Compared with Fan Hanjie, Huang Baitao can be said to be a four-no-one person in the Kuomintang: no faction, no department, no foundation, and no backer! He first worked under the Beiyang warlord Zhang Zongchang, and then he defected to the Feng clan, and then surrendered to Lao Jiang, because he knew that his few pounds and a few pairs of so he fought very hard, under the well-known only relatives of Lao Jiang, he could become a commander of 100,000 people, it can be said that from a certain point of view, he has qualities that old Jiang's big-name concubines do not have!
For fighting, he is serious! Other Kuomintang generals, such as Li Tianxia, rushed thousands of miles to help us, that is, Qiu Qingquan, who was known as the "madman of fighting wars," was also in Su Yu's eyes the master of "fighting slippery heads" and "likes to speculate," and a person like Huang Baitao, who honestly fought a war, was really very rare in the Kuomintang. Huang Baitao fights a war with two characteristics (or advantages): toughness and fierceness. The field is all fighting until the sky is dark!
Therefore, when he is trapped in the mill, he will undoubtedly die! Because at that time, he was carrying too many blood debts! For example, in the Battle of Eastern Henan, hundreds of prisoners of war were killed at the end. Diqiudian's anti-defeat to victory campaign was precisely his death-defying battle, and it directly crippled huaye's 1st, 4th, and 6th columns! Thousands of wounded prisoners were also killed! In the Battle of Huaihai, if he had not been pit by his teammates at that time and Huang Baitao had not stayed for two days, the Battle of Huaihai would have been much more difficult to fight, or the casualties would have been even heavier!
For the communist army, this living force of Chiang Kai-shek is much more difficult than those of Chiang Kai-shek's favored concubines! Of course, in the end, Old Jiang's reinforcements still couldn't successfully rescue him! He chose to commit suicide! Judging from his behavior, he was loyal to old Jiang!
It is said that after Huang Baitao's death, Old Jiang was devastated and sighed: "The spirit of Huangpu does not die", which means that the soldiers born in Huangpu will not commit suicide if they are defeated! It seems that he is also lamenting that his concubines are not as loyal as a "miscellaneous army"! And old Jiang also "benevolent to him", I heard that later sent a condolence money to his family: 100,000 gold coupons, according to the exchange rate at that time, Huang Baitao's wife and children could eat a full meal!
This guy is interesting and worth exploring! For example, many of Chiang Kai-shek's concubines will make people sigh and choose the wrong faith, and if they are loyal to the communist army, then it is a win-win situation for both himself and the Communist Party! But for Huang Baitao, he was only suitable for the Kuomintang! Although he also possesses the spirit of a communist: loyal! But he could not become a Communist! Because he has one more thing! It's cruelty! One of the reasons he committed suicide was probably because he knew he had killed too many captives!
Huang Baitao, from the perspective of a warrior, he was inspirational, he could make the nepotistic old Chiang trust him, reuse him, turn from a surrendered miscellaneous army to a commander of 100,000 people, especially in the chaotic Kuomintang government at that time, he could be promoted to lieutenant general of the Nationalist Army - posthumously awarded the second rank general. Absolutely can not use the word "mixed" to describe him, but absolute strength! Don't forget that he is the only "living force" of the nationalist army in the mouth of the communist army! It's also a very high evaluation!
Huang Baitao, this person, is also very problematic! His biggest problem was not knowing the meaning of war! For peace, for justice, for life, there are many reasons for war, he does not know why many Kuomintang soldiers did not give strength at that time, in fact, the reason why many generals deliberately did not give strength is very clear, that is, they hope for early peace, do not want civil war! And he only fought for Chiang Kai-shek! He didn't understand to his death that his biggest problem was to fight the civil war as if it were a war of resistance!
Chen Bray's sorrow
Throughout his life, Chen Bray was loyal only to the Kuomintang government and Chiang Kai-shek. But he is also not antipathetic to the Communist Party. Therefore, he also opposed many of Chiang Kai-shek's later deeds, especially false news! What he wants is true peace! Of course, he also hoped that the Kuomintang government he supported could continue to be retained, but in reality he was deeply powerless to fall into the darkness of the entire Kuomintang government, and he also had the literary popularity of "a soldier dies for a confidant", and Chiang Kai-shek was indeed not bad for him, calling him a right hand!
And even when the two disagreed, Old Jiang didn't really do anything to him! As a literati, Chen Bray has always tried not to be involved in any faction, and as a celebrity as the president at the time, his choice not to socialize can be seen in his determination! Premier Zhou's sentence of "Don't serve only one person, but serve 40,000 compatriots in China" puzzled him!
Isn't the president who serves the highest service equal to serving all the Chinese? When he truly realized, that's when he decided to commit suicide! This political star of the Kuomintang suddenly committed suicide on the night of November 13, 1948, and some people said that he died because he had persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to accept the CCP's proposal for peace negotiations. But this is not the real point, after all, he has fully supported Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang government all his life!
Some people say that it is because his children were snubbed by Chiang Kai-shek after joining the Communist Party and became suspicious! But don't forget that a few months before his suicide he was appointed secretary general of the Presidential Office by Chiang Kai-shek! And his daughter and son-in-law were also arrested because of the underground party problem, or Chen Brei let Chiang Kai-shek intercede, which shows how iron the relationship between the two is! Chiang Kai-shek can choose not to care about this issue, that is no small matter! Chen Bray's suicide is more because he has seen Chiang Kai-shek's irreversible failure, and he has fallen into despair!
One might say why he didn't choose to surrender! After all, at that time, the communist army also had a very high evaluation of him! In fact, such a person, things can also be seen thoroughly, he has his concerns, so we can start from the perspective of his judgment, he chose to end from the beginning, which is also the highest state of life! It is also a final reminder to Chiang Kai-shek that it is time to "rest"!
If Chiang Kai-shek decides to fight to the last soldier, it will be nothing more than death! Chen Bray's suicide, from another point of view, was a very deliberate choice for him! He not only preserved his integrity, but also fiercely struck at Chiang Kai-shek's plans after his defeat! However, this was also the sorrow of the Kuomintang government at that time, the sorrow of Chen Bray. When the Kuomintang government was overthrown, Chiang Kai-shek did have a great responsibility.
The major revolutionary historical drama "The Great Armageddon", starring actors Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin, Wang Wufu, Guo Lianwen, Wang Jian, Liu Zhibing, Lu Qi, Gu Wei, Guo Guangping, Yu Hewei, Lin Yongjian, Shao Bing, Wang Yanan, Li Jian, Wang Ting, Wang Jinsong, Xing Minshan, Huo Qing, Zhao Liang, Chen Yiheng, He Shengming, li qiang, etc., let us see at close range that with the deepening of the battle, the mentality of many soldiers has changed, and although the Kuomintang is called a reactionary, it is not all a big evil person! Among them, there are also many generals who are working hard for peace in China!
After all, we are more accustomed to enjoying the various heroic examples of the victors! "Armageddon" has a large length so that many characters in the Kuomintang government, who are the villains in the play, have flesh and blood, which is very rare to see, and war, no matter who it is, is a torment! Only peace can be truly powerful! Finally, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, we pay tribute to every hero who fought for the betterment of the country!
