Presumably, friends who know modern history know that the first six phases of the Whampoa Military Academy can be said to be famous generals, especially the first and fourth phases can be called the two most famous generals. For example, in the years of the revolutionary war, Lin Zong, who fought the most fiercely in our army, was a graduate of the huangpu fourth term, and Wu Zhonghao, who was regarded as excellent in all aspects of conditions, was also a fourth-term student. There are also many tough generals in Chiang Kai-shek's camp who graduated from Huangpu IV, such as Hu Lian, Liu Yuzhang, Zhang Lingfu, Xie Jinyuan, Gao Kuiyuan, Li Mi and others who were all huangpu IV students.
Born in Whampoa Ivy
Such a strong lineup, only the big brother of Huangpu Phase I can be comparable to Huangpu Phase IV. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to use the word famous general Ruyun to describe the Huangpu Ivy. It should be said that among the students of the Huangpu Fourth Term, Chiang Kai-shek's more important student is definitely Zhang Lingfu. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Lingfu successfully seized the position of commander of the 74th Army. Soon after, this unit was transferred to Nanjing by Chiang Kai-shek to serve as a heavy guard for Nanjing, so it was known as the Royal Forest Army. Zhang Lingfu, as a military commander, became the focus of domestic media attention at this time.
You know, behind Zhang Lingfu seizing the position of commander of the 74th Army, there was also a fierce competition. At that time, Li Tianxia, who graduated from Huangpu II, was Zhang Lingfu's biggest competitor. In terms of seniority and military achievements in the 74th Army, Li Tianxia was excellent zhang Lingfu. Li Tianxia served as the commander of the division, Zhang Lingfu was still the regimental commander, and in the end Li Tianxia was defeated, and Zhang Lingfu won. As Zhang Lingfu, who was inferior to Li Tianxia in all aspects, was able to win in the end, which also made him extremely happy, he knew very well that this was all the weight that The Principal Chiang Kai-shek attached to him, so in the following period of the Liberation War, Zhang Lingfu could only repay the Principal Chiang Kai-shek with actions, become the vanguard of the civil war, and finally, kill Meng Lianggu.
Probably everyone thinks that Zhang Lingfu is the most loyal to Chiang Kai-shek among the huangpu fourth-term students. In fact, there was another Huangpu Fourth Term student who was more loyal to Chiang Kai-shek than Zhang Lingfu.
This person is Li Mi, why is it him, tell two examples, you will understand.
In order to show his loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek, Li Mi openly disobeyed Chen Cheng's military orders, but afterwards he was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek
Temporary
Chen Cheng was the most important of Chiang Kai-shek's generals among the generals of the Nationalist army, and in addition to his multiple identities, he was also a fellow of Chiang Kai-shek, a backbone member of the Huangpu department, and he was also the son-in-law of the old Chiang Kai-shek, so that Chen Cheng was praised by the outside world as a small committee chairman. It was such a high-ranking and powerful figure that Li Mi, as the fourth period of Huangpu, openly disobeyed his military orders.
This began in 1932, when Chen Cheng was still a military commander, and Li Mi's lower rank was only a small regimental commander. In order to expand his own power, Chen Cheng asked Li Mi and the regiment to disarm on the grounds that military discipline was scattered. As everyone knows, Chen Cheng was so highly regarded by Chiang Kai-shek that he gave up his weapons one after another, but Li Mi did not, and told the soldiers that we are Principal Chiang Kai-shek's troops, and without the principal's military orders, no one's words are easy to make. So he led the regiment to flee to the Nanchang camp overnight to ask for help from He Yingqin, Xiong Shihui and others.
Li Mi
Li Mi, who came to Nanchang, told He Yingqin the original version of this matter. He Yingqin reported the incident to Chiang Kai-shek, and after hearing this, the old Chiang did not blame Li Mi, but praised him for his loyalty and bravery, and from then on, Li Mi left a good impression on Chiang Kai-shek. It can also be seen from this incident that in Li Mi's eyes, no matter how high your rank is, he is only loyal to the principal Chiang Kai-shek.
Another thing also reflects Li Mi's loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek. This was during the Liberation War, when Chiang Kai-shek lost three major battles, lost Nanjing, and fled to the southwest to continue his stubborn resistance. It should be said that at this time, the Chiang family dynasty was about to collapse, and many generals of the Nationalist army began to revolt for their own future. At this time, Li Mi, another Huangpu sheng Yu Cheng Wan, fled to the southwest. Both of them were in charge of a force at the time, and Yu Chengwan had two hearts and wanted to lead an uprising and persuade Li Mi to join them, but Li Mi was strongly opposed. Afterwards, he also reported the incident to Chiang Kai-shek, and because Yu Chengwan had been hesitant and uncertain, he was finally taken over by Chiang Kai-shek. However, Li Mi still led the Eighth Army at this time and continued to resist in the southwest, but was instead praised by Chiang Kai-shek, praising the student Li Mi for being the most loyal to him.
