In World War I, more than 60,000 devils were killed, and a generation of famous generals were executed by order of Chiang Kai-shek, and 32 years later, they were posthumously awarded the title of martyrs.
When Chiang Kai-shek was nearly 70 years old, he inspected Jiangmen, looked at the mainland, and asked:
"Counter-attack the mainland, will you give me a counter-attack?"
None of the officials accompanying him dared to answer the call, and at this time, Li Yutang's hometown friend Liu Anqi stepped forward and said:
"We're not ready right now."
Chiang Kai-shek's face changed in an instant after listening, and he picked up his cane and beat Li Anqi. While fighting, he suddenly cried and said:
"Yutang, Yutang, where are you, if you are here, I will not be bullied by people"
After saying this, Chiang Kai-shek remembered that as early as ten years ago, Chiang Kai-shek himself ordered Li Yutang to be shot. But it's too late.
Chiang Kai-shek ordered Li Yutang to be shot
Who is Li Yutang? It can make Chiang Kai-shek remember!
As we all know, the New First Army, the Fifth Army, the New Sixth Army, the Eighteenth Army, and the Seventy-fourth Army of the Kuomintang Army are known as the "Five Kings."
However, in history, there is also an army that is famous, and the combat effectiveness and combat achievements do not belong to the ace five armies, known as the Taishan Army.
They were the 10th Army, and the commander of the Tenth Army was Li Yutang.
Li Yutang
Why was a generation of tyrants shot by Li Yutang? Let me introduce Li Yutang to you.
When he was a teenager, Li Yutang was full of poetry and books, and he had no worries about food and clothing. He is a new youth educated in new ideas.
However, due to the social changes at that time, Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, and the whole country was engaged in activities to emancipate the mind.
At this time, Li Yutang joined the student camp and participated in the parade. The society at that time made Li Yutang realize that if he wanted to contribute to the country's revolutionary cause, he must join the revolutionary movement. So Li Yutang gave up his studies and joined the Shanxi military education study.
In 1924, the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy began, and Li Yutang joined as a group of students and became a Kuomintang soldier.
After graduating, Li Yutang joined the army
After graduating from the military academy, Li Yutang performed prominently in the battles arranged by the Kuomintang and was promoted one after another.
After the Outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Yutang was appointed commander of the 8th Army and stationed in Jiangxi. Because most of the soldiers in Li Yutang's unit came from Shandong, it was also known as the "Taishan Army".
Li Yutang was promoted
In 1939, Li Yutang blocked the Japanese army in Jiangxi. This battle was of great significance, and once lost, the Japanese army would directly occupy Wuning. Li Yutang led the troops to fight in a bloody battle, and there were countless casualties in this battle, but in the end, it was still a rare victory.
The most glorious battle of Li Yutang's life was the Third Battle of Changsha.
Battle of Changsha
At this time, the Eighth Army had been renamed the Tenth Army, and Li Yutang was still the commander.
In this battle, Li Yutang shook the world in one battle and won three "Flying Tiger Banners." As everyone knows, among the Kuomintang troops, the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun is the most famous, has the widest influence, and is also very rare.
Flying Tiger Flag Motif
However, there is another kind of "Flying Tiger Banner" that is more rare than the Qingtian White Sun Medal, and there is such a sentence within the Kuomintang troops: "One life is exchanged for the Qingtian White Sun Medal, and two lives are exchanged for the Flying Tiger Banner." "Li Yutang took three pieces at once."
After the victory of the War of Resistance, Li Yutang fought with the People's Liberation Army and was captured. However, Li Yutang did not reveal his identity and absconded as an ordinary soldier.
However, because of this arrest experience, coupled with the framing of people who had previously offended within the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek also felt suspicious and put Li Yutang in prison.
Li Yutang was not reused in Taiwan
In prison, Li Yutang received severe torture to extract a confession, which lasted for many days, and still no evidence of Li Yutang's defection was found.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek was too suspicious and ordered Li Yutang to be shot.
Before Li Yutang was executed, he wrote: "All my life for the country, such a fate, my heart is not willing to hear!" ”
After Li Yutang's death, Chiang Kai-shek did not let him go, but even issued a big "shame" word to warn others.
Li Yutang is in Taiwan
What a pity is it that a generation of famous generals, who did not have the enemy to take it, but died under the robbery of their own people?
After Chiang Kai-shek shot Li Yutang, he found that he had wronged Li Yutang and was full of remorse.
But heroes like Li Yutang have made so many contributions to the liberation of China. Chinese people will not forget him!
Finally, 32 years after Li Yutang's death, he was posthumously honored as a martyr! This is also a home for this hero.
