Towneberg was not a hero, nor was he incompetent.
In modern society, heroes are no longer just people who stand up in times of crisis, they can also be leaders and protectors in ordinary life, just like those Chinese sons and daughters who have made great efforts in resisting invaders.
Their courageous courage and selfless love for others and future generations deserve our deep admiration. However, for some, Tang Enbo, a second-class general of the Chinese National Army, is a person who makes people angry and hateful, and he is regarded as a brutal and unreasonable "four plagues".
So, what exactly did Townenburg do to get him such an evaluation?
He was an excellent general, with great military talent and courage, and knew how to distinguish between priority and size. In the early days of the war, he deeply understood the importance of military discipline and made it the core of the army.
Under him, in the rear of each unit there was an officer holding a small banner "Enforce the discipline of the revolutionary army", who supervised the charge of the ranks, and any deserter was immediately executed.
Every soldier in his army was extraordinarily brave, because they knew that only by charging into battle and achieving victory could they survive and enjoy the fruits of victory.
As a result, Townenburg's army was very well-behaved, both on the battlefield and in life, and they knew the importance of institutions. It was precisely because of this strict system that Townenbo's army won many battles in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War and became famous.
In 1942, the situation changed when Tang Enbo's troops entered Henan. As a result of years of war, the peasants had scarcely no harvest on their land, and it was difficult for them to make ends meet, let alone pay taxes.
Under the pressure of **, some people are forced to become bandits and use violence to make a living for themselves. In the later stages of the war, due to the heavy number of personnel, although the peasants continued to join the troops, due to the cruelty of the war, they could not make ends meet.
Knowing full well that only a strong army could win a battle, Tang Enbo took advantage of the army's food and salary conditions to incorporate the bandit and miscellaneous troops in Henan, greatly expanding the strength of the army's personnel.
However, the peasants, who thought that they could live a good life through the victory of the army, could not bear the burden of more and more military salaries and began to flee the famine. The restless life of the people made Tang Enbo's reputation plummet, so the folk spread the saying that "Henan has four famines, water and drought locust soup".
This is not only a great negation of his leadership team, but also a negation of the national system, and a denial of his conduct as a person. Therefore, he cannot be called a hero.
As early as the early days of China, there was a word to describe someone's bad behavior "general", at that time people thought that bandits were this kind of people, they had no general demeanor, exposed their chests, giving people a sense of vulgarity and ignorance.
Because of the similarity in pronunciation with "flood, drought and locust plague", and both caused great harm to the people, and Tang Enbo's army was also full of bandits, so people cleverly combined these two words to create the saying "Henan Four Wilderness".
In 1944, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, Tang Enbo's army lost 37 county towns in only 36 days, and the Henan region became a Japanese colony.
But even in the face of such a heavy defeat, the defeated Thornburgh's army had no shame and turned to harass the homes of the people along the way. The people of Henan could not bear the oppression, rose up to resist, and finally joined forces to ** 50,000 soldiers and made them disarm and surrender.
Although it is very likely that this is an exaggerated story, it can be seen that Towneberg's army has lost credibility in the hearts of the people and is constantly vilified and humiliated; His army was infected with gangsterism because of the entry of unscrupulous people, and was eroded by the idea of robbery and plunder; In the later period, his army became casual and casual, no longer focusing on the liberation of the Chinese nation, and lost himself and his original intention, so he was by no means a hero.
Tang Enbo excelled in the military academy, won the favor of the chairman of the committee with his independently written military works, and was promoted all the way to lieutenant general and division commander. In 1937, under the pretext of the disappearance of a soldier, the Japanese invaders gradually invaded and occupied our territory.
It's a year that Chinese don't want to mention.
A general of great military prowess and expertise, he set his sights on the strategic fortresses of Zhangjiakou and Nankou in 1937. His goal is to choke China by taking control of these high-altitude transportation fortresses.
Tang Enbo led two divisions of the 13th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to these key passes and engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese army. Despite its military weakness, Townenburg's army managed to hold the Japanese in a stalemate for four days and nights.
Although the south exit was ultimately unable to hold, the battle was defeated by 1More than 50,000 Japanese troops had a significant impact on the ambition and ambition of the Japanese invaders. In 1938, Towne, with his broad vision, discovered a loophole in the logistics that the Japanese army tended to ignore during the offensive.
He took advantage of this loophole and intercepted the supply lines of the Japanese army, preventing them from retreating. This strategy of Tang Enbo effectively stopped the advance of the Japanese army and made great contributions to the cause of the Chinese nation's anti-Japanese war.
Tang Enbo: Heroes of the Old and Stains of the Present In the Battle of Taierzhuang, Tang Enbo, with his wisdom and bravery, joined forces with other armies to encircle and overwhelm the Japanese army that lacked ammunition, and finally annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, showing outstanding military talent and winning the victory in a clever way.
However, in his later years, due to his mistrust and arrogant character, he did many wrong things, and was despised by the chairman, although he tried several times to flee to Japan in search of peace, but without success.
Eventually, in the last two months of his life, he moved to Japan as he wished, living in his own house, but eventually fell ill and died in another country. Tang Enbo's life is full of tragedy and regret, he has become arrogant and uninhibited under the influence of the environment, seriously deviating from his original intention, and it is difficult to be evaluated as a hero.
However, he also made important contributions to the liberation of the people during the Anti-Japanese War, and cannot simply be regarded as an incompetent person. His life story tells us that even former heroes can make mistakes for a variety of reasons, but we can't negate all their contributions.
In this era of rapid technological change, our lives are full of choices, and all kinds of new things are under the colorful lights, making us often lose ourselves. We can't be sure if our lives are going our way or if we're satisfied, so we reduce our judging criteria to a seemingly irreproachable criterion – money.
In this context, words such as money worship came into being, declaring their dangers to the world. But how do we hear our inner voice in the midst of the cacophony of applause, laughter, and laughter?
In fact, all we need is a space to meditate. In this space, we can temporarily get away from the fast-paced life, engage in the things we love, and also reminisce about our original intentions.
Finding this space is not difficult, as long as you are willing, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and then sit still and think for ten minutes, and you will find the answer to your confusion.
