In the Great Armageddon, the nationalist troops that fought against our army, including division commanders, military commanders, and even corps commanders, have been replaced. The main group of senior officers among them has long since changed from the Baoding Department, the Japanese Army Department, and even the Wu Tang Department to the pure Huangpu Department. Except for the Sui army in Pingjin, which was subordinate to Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the North China Campaign, most of the remaining generals in Liaoshen and Huaihai were composed of Huangpu teachers and students.

Liu Zhi, the commander of Xuzhou Crackdown, was a Huangpu teacher, Du Yuming, deputy general manager, was Huangpu Phase I, corps commanders Qiu Qingquan, Sun Yuanliang, Huang Wei, and Li Mi were all Huangpu phase I and II students, and Hu Lian was the same as Lin Zong in Phase IV. In the Northeast Suppression General, Deputy General Fan Hanjie and Zheng Dongguo were outstanding graduates of Huangpu, and Liao Yaoxiang was also a scholar-level figure.
But why is it that so many excellent command groups composed of Huangpu people and masters have been dropping the chain in combat, especially in the Great Armageddon?
In fact, the mystery is just as Li Zongren said at Huang Botao's memorial service in the TV series "Armageddon" - "Greedy for life and afraid of death, promotion and wealth."

Although the camp began to emerge during the Great Revolution, the main positions occupied at this time were those Huangpu teachers who graduated from other schools, such as Jiang's Eight King Kongs, "He Yingqin, Liu Zhi, Qian Dajun, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong, Chen Ji, and Zhang Zhizhong", all of whom were big men in the army. The Whampoa students were just some regimental commanders and division commanders.
What really made the Huangpu students begin to rise and stand alone was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which lasted for fourteen years.

In the 128Th War of Resistance, when Zhang Zhizhong led the Huangpu "young generals" began to enter the front line, Sun Yuanliang, Song Xilian and Du Yuming showed a tenacious style in fighting against the Japanese opera, especially in the "Battle of temple line" defeat to the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army saw that the students of the Whampoa Military Academy were not lost to these Japanese generals from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school.
After the all-out War of Resistance, the troops led by the Huangpu students gathered in the "Songhu Battlefield". Hu Lian led the troops to fight the Japanese white blade at Baoshan Mountain, and Yao Ziqing, the prototype of "Defenders" that Japan admired, was also a graduate of the sixth phase of Huangpu. Song Xilian of the Huangpu Phase I organized death squads to compete with the enemy army for positions in northern Shanghai at night. In the ensuing defense of Nanjing, it was also Qiu Qingquan who withdrew from Nanjing with the teaching corps until the end.

Although there were also many local departments participating in the war, there is no doubt that the main force in the Battle of Songhu was the Central Army of the Huangpu Department. Moreover, although the Huangpu department suffered more losses in this battle, the real elite was never fought, not trained, and after this battle, the Huangpu department gradually took the position and began to serve as the commander of the army and the commander of the group army.

In the middle of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Whampoa students also turned the tide on the battlefield. Du Yuming, Dai Anlan, and Zheng Dongguo formed the Fifth Army, which defeated the Japanese Fifth Division of Hiroshima in the Battles of Guinan and Kunlun Pass, and then entered Burma to fight against Japan, and later partially joined the Indian Army and the expeditionary force system, such as Liao Yaoxiang, Zheng Dongguo and others.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in Guannei, many fierce generals also emerged, including Yu Jishi, Wang Yaowu, Zhang Lingfu, Qiu Weida, and Yu Chengwan, the core ace of the 74th Army in the Ninth Theater, and the 18th Army in the core of the Sixth Theater, such as Huo Yizhang, Huang Wei, Hu Lian, and others. And other factions of Shi Jue, Fang Xianjue and others.
It can be said that in the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the students of the Huangpu Department of the Nationalist Army have begun to take up their posts and become the backbone of the War of Resistance, from "young generals" to "veteran generals" who have been in the battlefield for a long time...

Why, then, would the generals and heroes of the War of Resistance be defeated in the War of Liberation by our army, which had previously only fought movement warfare and guerrilla warfare, within three years?
Here Yu TianJun summarizes it into three points.
First of all, the teachers and students of Huangpu are already human beings.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Whampoa students played a mainstay role. However, the losses in the battle with the Japanese army were also very large, such as Dai Anlan, commander of the 200th Division of the 5th Army, who was an outstanding graduate of the Huangpu Phase 3, as the commander of the mechanized division, whether in Kunlun Pass or in the Tonggu Battlefield in Burma, he was a pioneer in fighting the Japanese army and died heroically. Another example is writing during the Songhu War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that "soldiers are not afraid of death, they are afraid that they cannot die for the country!" Cai Bingyan, a major general of the 18th Army, was also martyred in the bloody battle of Luodian.

According to incomplete statistics, there were nearly 40,000 Huangpu students (including the Central Military Academy) before the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but fewer than 11,000 actually survived the war. The loss rate is more than 70%.
Second, after the Anti-Japanese War, the Whampoa spirit died.
If you have seen "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", you should know that Yang Liqing's class elder Fan of this session is Huangpu Iii. He said, "Classmates belong to classmates, and steel knives belong to steel knives." "He was a pure soldier. But very few Huangpu teachers and students have people who are like Lao Fan, who are pure soldiers.

The Whampoa spirit pursued "patriotism and love for the people, strict self-discipline", and by the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it had long since deteriorated, and the flying general Sun Yuanliang "shouted the fiercest words and rode the fastest horse". On the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, even the Fifth Army, which claimed to have the best military discipline, created a white terror against young students in Kunming. During the Liberation War, the "Fifth Army" became even more intense, and was called the "White Devil" and their leader was Qiu Qingquan, an outstanding graduate of the Huangpu Ii Period. For the sake of the "foolish loyalty" in his heart, he has long forgotten the masses.

During the three major battles, Liao Yaoxiang and others, who had always flaunted themselves as strict self-discipline, actually started to speculate and used the air to hoard materials and sell grain, cigarettes, and other necessities at high prices, which for a time caused the whole northeast to complain.
In the Battle of Menglianggu in Eastern China, Li Tianxia, Tang Enbo and others sat and watched their colleague Zhang Lingfu be besieged, and progress was slow to preserve their strength. In the Battle of Huaihai, Qiu Qingquan and Li Mi also watched Huang Botao being annihilated by our army in the Nianzhuang area. The Flying General Sun Yuanliang is still the same. Li Yannian and Liu Ruming were also stagnant in the rescue, so that Huang Wei's corps was surrounded and annihilated by our army.
Li Yannian and Sun Yuanliang have a debatable private life
The Huangpu generals also had constant factions within themselves, and the Civil Engineering Department, the Fifth Army, the Expeditionary Army, the He Yingqin Department, the Hu Zongnan Department, and the Gu Zhu Tong Clan fought and stumbled with each other. And even between the same lineage is not a monolithic, in the Huang Wei corps, Hu Lian disobeyed Huang Wei...
Therefore, just as Li Zongren had already seen through the essence of the Whampoa department of the Nationalist Army, he uttered the 8-character proverb of "greed for life and fear of death, promotion and wealth". It was only then that Bai Chongxi was not allowed to go to Xuzhou, and at the same time, he united with American forces to force Jiang Xiaye in 1949.
Liu Zhi and Gu Zhutong (stills)
Finally, Jiang's employment strategy allowed the Huangpu students to work upwards and downwards.
Real estate development emphasizes "not the best, only the most expensive". And Jiang is the same when employing people, "do not seek ability, but seek loyalty."
Taking loyalty as the first criterion for employing people, mainly looking at temperament, even if there is no talent, it can be considered. For example, Hu Zongnan of the Huangpu Phase I and Liu Zhi, the old instructor of Huangpu, are like this, and even if Hu Zongnan was beaten by Peng Zongnan in northern Shaanxi, Jiang still chose not to change people. And because of Jiang, many people in the Huangpu department also threw themselves into their favor, no matter how the battle was fought, first, what the principal said was the truth, that is, it was right, and second, what should we do if we lost the battle? Quickly say that he is loyal to the party-state, and then go through the back door and weep the feelings of the teachers and students of Huangpu.
Such an officer lacks thinking and his own opinions, and everything is let the principal do a little, how can he beat our army?
Du Yuming frantically complained about the principal in the last days
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="107" > Yutianjun said </h1>
It is undeniable that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, teachers and students in Huangpu made great sacrifices in the face of the Japanese invasion, and even most of them fought with the Japanese army with bayonets during the War of Resistance, and they all spilled blood on the battlefield. These Whampoa students are actually more like ancient scholars. When invading abroad, they can fight the Japanese army to the end, adhere to the belief in their homeland, and implement their Whampoa spirit.
But theirs are also pitiful, during the Liberation War, they also acted as the vanguard of breaking the unity, standing against the people, although they received the new style of education in Huangpu, but the Huangpu students still adhered to the idea of "eating the king's loyalty to the king", they thought of "making meritorious achievements, sealing wives and shadows" They are national soldiers and cool officials. Because the "orthodoxy" in the heart is the enemy of the masses and the people.
Therefore, because they could not let go of their obsession, the defeat of the Huangpu Department in the Liberation War was also fateful!
