War is the most brutal scene in human history. On the battlefield, people's lives are like mustard, and the slightest carelessness can leave this world forever. However, in this cruel arena, there is one category of people who are relatively safe, and that is the high-ranking generals in the army. They either commanded the rear or laid out the battlefield, although they did not charge into battle themselves, but they shouldered the heavy responsibility of thousands of lives.
However, even high-ranking generals are not completely immune to the threat of war. In World War II, the top generals of various countries were killed one after another, and the sacrifice of each general meant a huge loss, and also showed the enemy's respect for him.
As the initiator of World War II, Germany also had two top generals who died on the battlefield. Field Marshal Fedor von Bock was killed while attacked by the British Air Force, while Field Marshal Otto Moritz Walter Moder chose to end his life before Germany surrendered. Italy's Italo Balbo became the only supreme general to be killed by his own army in World War II. Yamamoto in Japan.
Five. Ten. 6. The three marshals Shirakawa Yoshinori and Okaku Zensheng were also martyred in the war.
On the Allied side, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and other countries also had top generals who died heroically on the battlefield. They were either accidentally wounded by friendly soldiers or killed by the enemy, and the sacrifice of each general became a mark on the history of warfare.
In World War II, our country also had the tragedy of the death of its top generals. General Zhang Zizhong died heroically in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1940, and his figure became a legend in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan. After identifying his body, the Japanese army even collected and erected a wooden plaque to show respect for the general. Although the war claimed his life, he won the respect of the enemy and will always be remembered and admired.
The war is ruthless, but every general who sacrificed his life on the battlefield deserves our deep respect and remembrance. Their bravery and sacrifice forged a peaceful future and set a noble example for us. Let us always remember those heroes who fought and sacrificed for the country, for the people, and for peace!
