Huangpu Military Academy: A Dazzling Star in Modern Military History Huangpu Military Academy, as one of the three major "handle-bearing" military academies in modern China, was established the latest, but its contribution to the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation cannot be ignored"Big Brother"Baoding Military Academy and Yunnan Army Lecture Hall.
On a global scale, the influence of the Whampoa Military Academy should not be underestimated, although it does not have the long history of the Soviet Union's Frunze, the United States' West Point, the United Kingdom's Sandhurst and France's Saint-Cyr Military Academy, but its achievements in military education and personnel training have made it have a certain influence in the world.
The Whampoa Military Academy is a unique existence in Chinese history, and its establishment stems from the tripartite cooperation between the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and the Soviet Union, in which the leadership of Mr. Zhongshan and Liao Zhongkai is the key.
The great importance attached to Soviet Russia was also reflected in the fact that they personally selected Soviet adviser Borodin. However, the attribution of the position of principal is quite dramatic. Originally, Mr. Zhongshan took a fancy to Xu Chongzhi of the Cantonese army, but Xu Chongzhi understood Chiang's ambitions for this position and politely declined the opportunity.
Jiang used the scheming of "wanting to capture the old and indulge", and finally succeeded in obtaining the position of principal. In the next 25 years, the Whampoa Military Academy established a total of 23 phases, of which the first six and the first phase were the most excellent.
In the first phase of Whampoa, there were many outstanding generals on both sides of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and their performances were amazing.
Among the first phase of Huangpu trainees, although there are generals such as Hu Zongnan and Chen Mingren who later joined the enemy camp, there are also many students such as Chen Geng and Zhou Shidi who joined the camp of our army and have become an important force of our army.
The admission qualifications of the Whampoa Military Academy are very strict, and it is necessary to pass multiple links such as recommenders, age restrictions, academic requirements, written and oral examinations, and finally only 17% of the candidates can pass, which is enough to see that the Whampoa Military Academy has high requirements for the quality of cadets.
Although the names of the "Three Heroes" Jiang Xianyun, He Jinhan, and Chen Sai are widely known, their military career achievements are not the most brilliant.
Hu Zongnan: The "first protégé of the Son of Heaven" in the first phase of Whampoa
**, the combat power in the first phase of Whampoa. He was unknown in the first phase of Huangpu, but his strength should not be underestimated. Principal Jiang looks at people"Department"、"Department"、"Debate", but these three criteria cannot be met: he is not from Zhejiang, he is not a good debater, and even his unsurprising appearance makes him look out of place in the first phase of Huangpu.
Despite his low profile, his strength and talent still make him stand out on the battlefield. is like Pang Tong in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although he was despised by Sun Quan and Liu Bei, his talent was finally recognized.
Although Principal Jiang may have a high look, he is the same as Chen Geng"The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory"and ended up choosing a different path. It was only years later that Principal Chiang realized how stupid his contempt was.
Whether it is the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Red Fourth Front Army, the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army, and the North China Military Region, all of them made President Jiang suffer a lot. Ironically, when he entered Huangpu, the internship unit was Yue Weijun's troops, but when he was fighting against the encirclement and suppression in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, he commanded the Red Fourth Front Army to defeat and capture his old superior Yue Weijun in one fell swoop.
Who do you think is better between the youth *** and the first phase of Whampoa? Hu Zongnan, as the best student of Whampoa in Jiang's army, in addition to his military career and career, his outstanding performance during the Anti-Japanese War was also an important highlight.
He rose to prominence in the battles of Songhu, Nanjing, Lanfeng, and Wuhan, and then moved to Guanzhong, where he became an important barrier to Chongqing and the southwest, and successfully coordinated Yan'an to resist the Japanese attack.
Among the famous generals of the Jiang Army in the Whampoa Department, Hu Zongnan was also the first person to hold the rank of lieutenant general and general. However, Hu Zongnan's combat level is not very high, whether it is fighting with Chen Geng, a subordinate of ***, or fighting with ***'s superior, Mr. He, in the northwest, Hu Zongnan, who has an absolute advantage in troops, never had the last laugh.
After retreating to the isolated island, Hu Zongnan began to be snubbed, and although he was promoted to second-class general, he was never able to go further. On the contrary, Gui Yongqing, Wang Shuming, Huang Jie and others were promoted to first-class generals.
And Yuan Shouqian, Luo Qi, Chen Daqing, Yuan Pu and other four people, who were also in the first phase of Huangpu, also tied Hu Zongnan's military rank. In comparison, ** served as the commander of the Red 1st Division at the age of 29, which is comparable to Hu Zongnan; At the age of 30, he was promoted to army commander and commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front Army, 10 years earlier than Hu Zongnan.
From the perspective of commanding 80,000 troops to annihilate hundreds of thousands of enemies, ** undoubtedly surpassed Hu Zongnan.
As the most outstanding Whampoa students on the battlefield, what is the strength of ** and Hu Zongnan? During the agrarian revolution, they once had a face-to-face confrontation, and the result was *** who had the last laugh.
At the beginning of 1932, in the face of the growing Red Fourth Front Army, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 300,000 heavy troops, trying to encircle and suppress only 4More than 50,000 troops.
Among them, Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates include Hu Zongnan, Huang Jie and others, who were classmates of Whampoa. However, under the skillful command of ***, the Red Army won a decisive victory at Qiliping Yihe Bangshan.
Then the Red Army engaged in fierce battles with the enemy in the area of the estuary. Both sides did their best in this battle, and the Red Army lost Cai Shenxi, commander of the Red 25th Army and the first phase of Whampoa.
But more than 20,000 people of the Red Fourth Army successfully broke through to the west under the leadership of ***. In general, ** and Hu Zongnan, Huang Jie and others, one win and one defeat, can be said to be evenly divided.
Chen Geng was the chief of staff of the Red Fourth Front Army, and under the leadership of ***, he showed outstanding military talent. Later, the chief of staff of the first phase of Whampoa, that is, the founding general Chen Geng.
When the Red Fourth Front Army was on the Long March in the north, Hu Zongnan and *** met on the Songpan narrow road in Sichuan. Hu Zongnan tried to persuade them to surrender, but the result was to make him lose his nose.
Then, in the battle of Baoza, Hu Zongnan lost to ***'s subordinates.
** and Hu Zongnan never went head-to-head on the battlefield in Shanxi, and *** fought with Hu Zongnan outwits with inferior forces in the battle to defend Yan'an, and finally succeeded in recovering Yan'an.
In the Great Southwest Campaign, Mr. He, who had been in charge of grain and grass management for a long time, led the 18th Corps to cross the Qinling Mountains, cooperated with Liu Deng's army, and dealt a fatal blow to Hu Zongnan. These events in the history of the war have demonstrated the wisdom and courage of the Chinese people and carried forward positive energy.
