Hu Zongnan was Chiang Kai-shek's favorite general, but he was most afraid of marshal *** in his life.
Hu Zongnan was a primary school teacher in his early years, and later applied for the Whampoa Military Academy. He is a native of Zhejiang, and he followed Principal Jiang closely at school and became the principal's celebrity.
Born in the first phase of Huangpu and a fellow villager of President Jiang, Hu Zongnan's official position was promoted as fast as a rocket. In 1929, he became the commander of the first division, which was Chiang Kai-shek's starting unit. During the same period, other Whampoa students were still serving as company commanders, battalion commanders, and regiment commanders.
In 1936, he officially became the commander of the First Army. During the Anti-Japanese War, he was promoted to corps commander and commander of the group army. Every time he was promoted, he was the first among Whampoa students.
During the period of the Red Army, Hu Zongnan and the three major Red Army fought battles, and they won and lost each other, and they did not fall behind.
Zhang Guotao suffered losses, and the First Division of the Fourth Front Army was surrounded by Hu Zongnan and suffered heavy losses.
* The Red Army's Long March reached northern Shaanxi, and Hu Zongnan served as the main offensive force. Many people thought that they should not collide head-on with Hu Zongnan, but they stood up and said that I wanted to compete with him and defeat him completely!
With support, lure the enemy deeper, and the Red Army units fought and retreated. Hu Zongnan was fooled, and under the order of Chiang Kai-shek, the troops were divided into three routes and drove straight in.
The Red Army laid an ambush in the mountain castle, and Hu Zongnan's First Army suffered heavy losses and fled in a hurry.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Hu Zongnan has been sitting in the northwest, but he has never taken advantage of ***.
In the War of Liberation, Hu Zongnan commanded hundreds of thousands of ** military descendants to attack northern Shaanxi. Peng commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Hu Zongnan lost his troops and generals, and he was not an opponent at all.
Hu Zongnan lost hundreds of thousands of troops, and finally retreated to Taiwan, and what he feared most in his heart was Marshal ***.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Hu Zongnan was also very concerned, he wanted to defeat the Americans no matter how powerful he was?
After three years of war, the United States was defeated by President Peng and had to sign an armistice.
Hu Zongnan heard that he had mixed feelings, and said to the people around him, how about someone laughing at me in the Liberation War that I can't beat *** Americans? Aren't you also defeated by ***?
Even the defeated general Hu Zongnan praised Peng Shuai as a world-class player.
