In the Battle of Menglianggu, four senior generals of the **74th Division fell into the waves of fate. The first was Chief of Staff Wei Zhenyue, who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and later served as Chief of Staff of the 74th Division. After the battle, due to his military theoretical attainments, he was transferred to the military academy to teach, but little is known about his later life.
The second is the commander of the 57th Brigade, Chen Shuyun, who experienced the battles of Changsha and Changde, and later served as the commander of the 57th Division. After the war, he was imprisoned in Jiamusi Prison in Heilongjiang until his release at the end of 1975. In his later years, he settled in Nanjing, participated in the work of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and died in 1983.
The third is Chen Chuanjun, the commander of the 51st Brigade, who was captured in the battle, and his subsequent fate is not clearly recorded, and it is said that he was killed in an attempt to escape, but his whereabouts are still unknown.
Finally, there is Li Yunliang, deputy chief of staff, who graduated from the Northeast Army Lecture Hall, and his whereabouts are unknown after the war.
The fate of these four generals, the glory and struggle of the war years, evoke our contemplation and reflection on history. May they be duly respected and remembered in the long river of history.
Although the fates of these four generals are different, they have left a distinct mark on the stage of history. Their stories are not only testimonies of the war period, but also reflections on human nature and destiny. The experience of these generals is a microcosm of the war years, and the great impact of war on the fate of individuals is a microcosm of the war years.
Looking back at history, we can see the eventful years of many heroes and ordinary people in the war. Every human life has its own unique value, whether it is fighting enemy soldiers on the battlefield or suffering in silence in a cage, it is a test of humanity. In that era full of gunpowder and blood, everyone was fighting for their beliefs, homes and ideals.
However, the war will eventually pass, leaving behind not only scars and memories, but also a desire for peace and hopes for the future. It is precisely these people who are fighting on the battlefield that make us cherish the peace and tranquility of the present even more. Their sacrifices and dedication have created our happy life today, and also made us more determined to move towards the future.
Let us remember history, cherish peace, and let the shadow of war be forever far away from us. May the departed generals rest in peace in heaven, and may we always remember that immortal history, cherish and protect peace. May world peace, common development of mankind, and never again the smoke of war enveloping the earth.
