During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many Huangpu teachers and students were loyal to the country, and among them, more than 100 officers above the rank of major general sacrificed their lives for the country.
At that time, the National Army accepted a large number of Whampoa graduates, and in some main forces, most of the middle and lower-level officers were Whampoa graduates.
Due to the urgency of the war, some Whampoa students were assigned to combat units not long after they entered the school and before they graduated.
Dianlan. How arduous and cruel the war against Japan was, we can see it from the statistics of Whampoa.
A Huangpu graduate wrote in his memoirs: More than 100 people graduated from a certain team in the 16th phase of Huangpu, and they left Huangpu and went directly to the front-line troops, and most of them served as platoon commanders.
A year later, there are less than 20 Whampoa graduates left.
In August 1936, the 10th class of students graduated from Whampoa, and then they were assigned to the combat unit.
In September 1937, the 11th class of students in Huangpu graduated early in order to resist the Japanese, and 117 of them were assigned to the 58th Army, and after the three battles of Changsha, more than 60 students have been killed.
However, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the qualifications of the Whampoa soldiers were still very shallow, and among the 1,247 generals and first-class officers of the Kuomintang, only 92 were born in the Whampoa Military Academy.

This situation was not gradually reversed until the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and Whampoa graduates gradually became the main body of divisional, brigade, and regimental generals.
Therefore, among the Kuomintang generals who sacrificed their lives for the country, the rank of Whampoa graduates is generally not too high.
For example: Brigade Commander Huang Meixing of the first phase of Huangpu was killed in the Songhu War of Resistance, Brigade Commander Cai Bingyan of the first phase of Huangpu was killed in the Battle of Nanjing, and Division Commander Dai Anlan of the third phase of Huangpu was killed in the Indo-Burmese War of Resistance.
These Whampoa graduates died heroically and movingly, enough to leave a name in history.
However, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, various forms of surrender and surrender of the Kuomintang army also emerged one after another.
On the Internet, there was an online post that ridiculed the Kuomintang army: **The number of enemies surrendered exceeded the number of enemies destroyed, which can be called a great "miracle".
This statement is not groundless, from 1939 to 1945, at least 99 ** high-ranking generals defected to the enemy.
Among the generals who surrendered to the enemy, the highest military rank was Sun Liangcheng, who was the deputy commander-in-chief and guerrilla commander-in-chief of the Jicha Theater and the deputy commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army, with the rank of general.

Sun Liangcheng is the "old man" of the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army is also the army with the most generals who have surrendered to the enemy.
In addition to Sun Liangcheng, Wang Jinya, Sun Dianying, Pang Bingxun, Wu Huawen and other senior generals also led their troops to surrender to the enemy.
The total number of generals who surrendered to the enemy in the Northwest Army reached 46, accounting for almost half of the total number of generals who surrendered to the enemy.
The Northeast Army also had 11 generals surrender to the enemy, second only to the Northwest Army in numbers. For example, Lieutenant General Bao Wenyue, chief of staff of the Northeast Security Command and deputy director of the General Office of the Military Commission, lived in Shanghai after the Xi'an Incident and defected to the enemy because he was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Most of the remaining Kuomintang generals who defected to the enemy came from the local armed forces, military commanders, Jin Sui Army, and Cantonese troops.
* The army also had high-ranking generals who surrendered to the enemy, such as: Ye Peng, commander of the Wuhan garrison, surrendered to Wang alone, He Kaixian, commander of the First Theater Brigade, led his troops to surrender to Japan, and Fang Xianjue, Zhou Qingxiang and others were forced to surrender to Japan.
In general, there are not too many generals who surrender to the enemy in the ** military system, and the number of generals who surrender to the enemy only accounts for 8% of the total number of generals who surrender to the enemy.
Anti-Japanese War veteran**.
Let's talk about the situation of the "Huangpu system", in the War of Resistance Against Japan, in addition to Fang Xianjue and others in the third phase of Huangpu, how many Huangpu students defected to the enemy and became traitors?
It was once circulated on the Internet: Huangpu Sheng had no one to surrender to the enemy (excluding Fang Xianjue, who was forced to surrender to Japan).
In fact, it is not the case, there are ten fingers of length and shortness, and there are also some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death among the graduates of Whampoa, and some have become traitors who are scolded by thousands of people.
Whampoa graduates have always enjoyed the special treatment of "protégés of the Son of Heaven", and they are also the backbone of the Anti-Japanese War.
In the Kuomintang army, the "Whampoa Department" not only shows the background of its Whampoa Military Academy, but also a kind of glory.
What is odious is that some Whampoa graduates who took refuge in the Japanese invaders also boasted of being "Whampoa" and used the signboard of "Whampoa" to raise their prices in order to win a high look at the Japanese.
Here are a few Whampoa graduates who have smeared the Whampoa Military Academy.
Wang Jingwei inspected the Kuomintang troops that surrendered to Japan.
Liu Mingxia: Born in the first phase of Huangpu, the commander of the Kuomintang Major General, he was captured by the Japanese army in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and soon surrendered as a traitor.
Because he was a well-known graduate of the first phase of Huangpu, Liu Mingxia was "entrusted with important tasks" by the Japanese army, and served as the deputy head of the tax police corps of the puppet Ministry of Finance and the administrative inspector of the first district of Shanghai Special City.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Mingxia was arrested and imprisoned by the national ** for the crime of traitor, and was later executed.
Huang Ziqi: Born in the second phase of Whampoa, he participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, but he became a traitor the next year and surrendered to the Kuomintang.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Ziqi was captured in the battle with the Japanese army, and then became a traitor for the second time.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Ziqi** was imprisoned and released a few years later.
Liu Yi: Huangpu second phase student. Liu Yi was the nephew of the "lucky general" Liu Zhi, who was captured by the Japanese army in 1938 and then surrendered with his hands raised.
Because he was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, the Japanese army really "reused" him and arranged for him to become the commander of the Wang Puppet Independent Garrison Brigade.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the national ** arrested Liu Yi, but after not being locked up for a few days, Liu Zhi came forward to intercede, and Liu Yi left the prison and moved to Hong Kong.
Liu Qixiong: Huangpu second phase student. After the fall of Nanjing, Liu Qixiong defected to his mentor Zhou Fohai at the Whampoa Military Academy, and under the recommendation of Zhou Fohai, Liu Qixiong became the chief captain of the Wang puppet officer training team, the chief of education of the puppet ** Army Officer School, and the commander of the First Guard Division.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Qixiong**, and Liu Zhi came forward to intercede, and Liu Qixiong was quietly released from prison.
The old ** traitor army who recognizes the thief as his father.
These Huangpu scum who "recognize the thief as their father", even if they sell themselves to the enemy, they have not forgotten to show the golden signboard of the "Huangpu system".
As the saying goes, "No one is perfect without gold".
After all, in that era when the whole nation jointly resisted Japan, the vast majority of Huangpu students still made great contributions and sacrifices, and this should be indisputable and unquestionable.
