The biggest competitor is Chiang Kai-shek.
Since "412 "Since then, Chiang Kai-shek has struggled with *** for more than 20 years, and in the end, **'s military strategic and political superiority has become the final winner.
**。However, although the Kuomintang army was quickly crushed like a river at a receding tide under the fierce offensive of the People's Liberation Army, there were still outstanding people in the Kuomintang.
Of these people, there are three who are *** admired.
** once said in public: "Lao Chiang's three generals, even if he can reuse one, he will not lose so miserably." "Today we're going to take a look at that history!
The first one is General Xue Yue
According to the statistics of the relevant departments, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the squadron killed the most generals of the Japanese army, that is, Xue Yue, who killed as many as 100,000 Japanese soldiers in the Battle of Changsha.
Xue Yue. Xue Yue was born in Xiaopingshi Village, Jiufeng Town, Jiufeng Town, Shaoguan City, Guangdong, and is an ordinary family.
At that time, the First Sino-Japanese War had just ended, and because of decay and backwardness, the Qing Dynasty lost the battle with Japan, the Beiyang Fleet was defeated, and the Treaty of Shimonoseki also gave more than 800 kilometers of territory.
The whole of China, at this moment, was enveloped in a deep sadness and anger.
And Xue Yue's father, although his family is poor, his love for the motherland and love for the motherland.
In his mind, the one he admired the most was Yue Fei.
Therefore, after his child was born, he named his son "Xue Yue", also in order to make his son a national hero.
Under the influence of this family, Xue Yue did not live up to his expectations.
After Xue Yue grew up, he successfully entered the Baoding Military Academy and became an outstanding officer.
The year he graduated from the military academy was the most intense period of the war between the revolutionary party and the Qing Dynasty, and he planned to continue his studies, so he chose the Chinese revolutionary party and threw himself into the revolutionary war.
**After its establishment, Xue Yue was sent to the "Fujian-Guangdong Revolutionary Army" founded by Mr. Sun Yat-sen as the commander-in-chief, and accompanied the army to Fujian to fight against local warlords.
After that, Xue Yue returned to Guangdong many times, led the revolutionary army to suppress the Gui faction and the rebel forces, and made great contributions to the development of the revolutionary cause.
However, although Xue Yue was very talented in military affairs, he was not very talented in politics, so he did not receive much attention in the Kuomintang.
It wasn't until the start of the Anti-Japanese War that Xue Yue began his career.
On August 13, 1937, when the "August 13" Incident broke out in Songhu, Xue Yue was transferred from the southwest to Nanjing, and Chiang Kai-shek appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the 19th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and stationed his combat troops on the left at Ping'an Pavilion.
In May of the following year, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Xue Yue to Kaifeng as the commander-in-chief of the 1st Division of the 1st Theater of Operations.
During this time, Xue Yue participated in more than 20 large and small battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Lanfeng.
Because Xue Yue has a strong learning ability, on the battlefield, in the face of the well-equipped, fierce-willed, and powerful Japanese in combat, although Xue Yue is losing and retreating, he has also been observing the opponent's combat methods and thinking of countermeasures.
It was not until the Battle of Changsha that Xue Yue created the "Heavenly Furnace Tactics" according to the terrain, and "retreated as advance".
That is, they laid out a net on the battlefield, using tactics such as ambushes, ambushes, flanks, tail attacks, etc., to weaken the enemy's strength and fighting spirit, and finally "dragged" onto the battlefield.
In short, this is a kind of retreat, luring the enemy into depth, lengthening the enemy's formation, dividing the enemy's formation, and finally concentrating the main force, like a "heavenly furnace", falling from the sky and completely encircling the enemy.
Xue Yue relied on the "Heavenly Furnace Battle Method" to kill more than 100,000 Japanese in three consecutive battles of Changsha, known as the "Tiger of Changsha", and the Japanese did not dare to set foot in Changsha again in the next few years.
After this battle, Xue Yue became famous, and there were even rumors that he could easily shake a mountain and deter Xue Yue.
Xue Yue's commanding ability can be seen.
Sun Liren. Sun Liren was born in Lujiang, Anhui Province, 4 years younger than Xue Yue.
Among the Kuomintang generals, Sun Liren's family background may not be top-notch, but his "academic qualifications" are "second to none".
In 1914, at the age of fourteen, Sun Liren was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent grades among more than 1,000 applicants.
Because Tsinghua University also implemented an integrated learning process of junior high school, high school, and university at that time, Sun Liren stayed in this school for ten years.
Few people know that Sun Liren is not only a general in the army, but also an "athletic general".
In 1921, basketball was introduced to China, and Sun Liren won the first place at North China University.
Later, he was drafted by the Chinese men's team and competed in five Far Eastern Games in Shanghai, during which time he won the championship for China by defeating Japan and the Philippines.
This is an honor, but the Japanese player, in front of Sun Liren, said something like this: "Even if you win, you are still a weakling, and you will be bullied!."”
This sentence made Sun Liren furious, and it also made him make a decision to change his future fate.
After all, the power of a country, if it does not develop enough, is a flash in the pan.
In 1925, Sun Liren left Tsinghua University to study in the United States, resolutely resigned from his job in civil engineering, went to the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, and entered the "West Point of the South".
When Sun Liren was in the United States, he drew on the American-style military training of the Virginia Military Academy, combined with the traditional military training of the Chinese people, and developed a kind of "Sun's Drill Code", which can make the Chinese people adapt to and improve their training effect faster.
After Sun Liren returned from the United States, Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been the first to be the best, valued him very much and appointed him commander-in-chief of the army and navy.
Soon he was transferred to the Tax Police Brigade of the Ministry of Finance, where he served as a colonel of the 2nd Brigade and captain of the 4th Regiment.
In the army, Sun Liren also applied this method to the army, and sure enough, under his guidance, the combat skills of these soldiers have also improved by leaps and bounds.
After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, Sun Liren participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Wuhan.
In 1942, in order to prevent Japan's invasion of China and Southeast Asia and better ensure the delivery of international relief materials, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was formally established, and Sun Liren was also appointed as the major general and commander of the 38th Division, and went to Burma to fight with the 66th Division.
As soon as he stepped on the battlefield, he rushed to Ringanqiang without stopping, led the 113th Division to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese, and with only more than 1,000 people, he completely annihilated a brigade, rescued 7,000 British troops surrounded by the Japanese, and rescued more than 500 British soldiers, missionaries and journalists.
The Battle of Ren'anqiang was the first complete victory after China sent troops into Burma, and this battle made Sun Liren's prestige instantly resounding all over the world.
Britain and the United States are also paying more and more attention to and acknowledging the combat capability of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
In the two years that followed, Sun led dozens of battles in Burma, and won the vast majority of victories.
This also involved the development of the second war in Burma, the complete opening of the Yunnan-Burma highway, and the guarantee of international military support.
Sun Liren and Xue Yue are "descendants" and are regarded as "descendants" by Chiang Kai-shek, while Bai Chongxi is Chiang Kai-shek's "big trouble".
Bai Chongxi, like Xue Yue, is a student of Baoding Military Academy and a top student in the third grade.
Before entering Beijing, he accompanied the student death squad of the Guangxi Northern Expedition and Zhao Hengti to Hankou, Hubei, where he fought with the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Because he was born in Guilin, Guangxi, Bai Chongxi was not a member of the Kuomintang, and after the old Gui warlords were eliminated, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren formed the new Gui warlords, and they were in a state of hostility with Chiang Kai-shek for a long time.
Bai Chongxi. After the Northern Expedition, in the winter of 1928, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to consolidate his dominance, turned the spearhead to the Gui warlords.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi led the army to fight Chiang Kai-shek for more than three months, during which the army led by Bai Chongxi caused great trouble to Chiang Kai-shek, and called Bai Chongxi an old fox.
After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek took over the entire country's army.
With his military talents, Bai Chongxi was appointed deputy chief of staff and minister of military training of the ** General Staff Headquarters.
Bai Chongxi deeply analyzed the changes in the war situation, provided six guidelines for the Japanese war, and presided over the planning of the war against Japan.
According to his strategic approach, the situation in the Chinese forces is gradually improving.
Bai Chongxi then won an important victory over the Japanese in the Battle of Taierzhuang in China with the help of Li Zongren.
However, because Bai Chongxi did not have the full trust of Chiang Kai-shek, he was finally transferred from the core power class to the Fifth War Zone.
In the War of Liberation, Bai Chongxi once served as the "Minister of National Defense" in the Kuomintang, and during this time, the army he led caused us great difficulties.
Even such a soldier said in an interview with Simonov at the end of 1949: "In the Kuomintang army, Bai Chongxi is the most talented person. ”
Each of these three generals has a talent that cannot be underestimated, and all of them have made great achievements on the battlefield.
