The Stilwell incident subsided, and Chiang Kai-shek won the battle, and he got his wish to squeeze Stilwell, who was enthusiastic about Chinese affairs, out of the Chinese battlefield, for which he threw out the "Eagle Dog General" Song Xilian.

Huang Jie, the acting commander-in-chief of the 11th Group Army, who succeeded Song Xilian, was also a disciple of the first phase of Whampoa. In the unforgettable 1926 East Road Northern Expedition.....

Huang Jie (November 2, 1903 - October 29, 1996), a native of Changsha, Hunan, was born on November 2, 1903 in a farming family in Langli Township, Changsha County. In his early years, he studied at Changsha Yueyun Middle School and Hunan Provincial No. 1 Middle School. In 1924, he was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and later formed in the third team of students. Throughout his military career, he participated in numerous battles. He was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun for his military exploits.

Some people say that Huang Jie has to thank him for having a good nose. You see, Huang Jie's nose is indeed not small, and it is quite high. This was very rare among Kuomintang generals. According to the saying that the nose determines the fate phase, Huang Jie is really born rich and noble.

However, this is nothing more than a feudal statement. No matter how good you are born, you also need to work hard the day after tomorrow. In fact, Huang Jie is a very hard-working person.

Huang Jie was born in Changsha, Hunan Province, and graduated from the first phase of Huangpu. As the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, Chiang Kai-shek liked to talk to students as a way to discover talents. In this way, he did discover a number of usable talents, but Chiang Kai-shek also had times when he looked away, such as Xu Xiangqian, who was not amazing, did not enter his eyes, so that he later became his fierce rival. In fact, Huang Jie was not favored by Chiang Kai-shek at first, Chiang Kai-shek once summoned Huang Jie, and his evaluation of him was decent, simple and rigorous, without excellence, and he could lead troops at the grassroots level, which had no great value.

However, one incident changed Chiang Kai-shek's view of Huang Jie.

Chiang Kai-shek toured the campus at noon in the scorching sun and was disappointed to find that several of the sentries standing guard were completely disrespectful, either listless or dozing off in the shade of trees. How can such a soldier fight in the future? It wasn't until he walked to the school gate that Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, and he saw Huang Jie, a member of the third team, standing upright under the scorching sun.

Chiang Kai-shek walked up to Huang Jie, and Huang Jie gave a sonorous military salute. After a closer look, Chiang Kai-shek found that Huang Jie's trousers were oozing blood, and he grabbed Huang Jie's hand, which turned out to have a thumbtack between his fingers. Chiang Kai-shek asked what was going on. Huang Jie replied that when he couldn't stand up straight and dozed off, he used a pushpin to roll himself to lift his spirits. Chiang Kai-shek thought that Huang Jie was tenacious and resolute, and praised him greatly, and since then he has been more fond of Huang Jie. Favored by the principal, Huang Jie reciprocated, worked hard, and repaid Chiang Kai-shek with practical actions. He actively participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition led by Chiang Kai-shek, and was soon promoted to regiment commander due to his outstanding achievements.

When Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army reached Jinan, the iron hooves of the Japanese army also stepped into Jinan. Chiang Kai-shek was a little flustered, because he did not have many troops around him at that time, and it would be dangerous if he himself attacked him. Seeing that the Japanese army fully occupied Jinan, Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly evacuated on horseback, and Huang Jie, who was ordered to rush to escort him, followed behind on foot with his troops. Chiang Kai-shek ran out of Jinan City in one go, and Huang Jie quickly followed out of breath, and quickly set up a guard around Chiang Kai-shek.

At night, Chiang Kai-shek stayed overnight in a Zhuangzi, but he was not sure, he couldn't sleep, pushed the pillow in the middle of the night, wandered around the room, and suddenly found Huang Jie standing with a gun outside the window, alert like a cat, Chiang Kai-shek was greatly moved. Although Huang Jie is his own student, after all, he has been promoted to the head of the regiment, but a regiment commander has acted as a guard and gatekeeper for himself overnight, which shows his love for the leader.

Huang Jie soon stood out and became the commander of Chiang Kai-shek's second division.

On May 1, 1928, the Northern Expeditionary Army defeated Zhang Zongchang and entered the city of Jinan, Huang Jie did another impulsive thing to Chiang Kai-shek, when Chiang Kai-shek led the Northern Expeditionary Army into Jinan, it became clear that the Japanese Sixth Division was in the city, Chiang Kai-shek was horrified by the Japanese attack, and evacuated out of the city in a hurry.

Huang Jie guarded Chiang Kai-shek in front, Chiang Kai-shek stayed in a village in the early morning, because he was worried that the Japanese army was not sleeping well in pursuit, but the third watch found Huang Jie standing guard outside the window with a gun, Huang Jie had been the regiment commander beforehand, this move made Chiang Kai-shek Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve impulsive.

In 1929, Huang Jie was promoted to major general and brigade commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Second Division, and followed Chiang Kai-shek to participate in the Great Chinese New Year's Eve Battle of the Great Chinese New Year's Eve in China in the second year, and the object of the battle was Yan Xishan in Shanxi.

Not to mention Yan Xishan's cunning, late at night on July 11, snipers broke through Chiang Kai-shek's defenses, Chiang Kai-shek instigated at Liuhe Station beforehand, was at risk, Huang Jie led his three regiments to the rescue, and successfully recovered the defense to protect Chiang Kai-shek.

In April 1938, after General Li Zongren, commander of the 5th Theater of Operations, commanded the great victory in Taierzhuang, Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been afraid of the sun and retreated everywhere, was carried away by the momentary victory, misjudged the situation, and changed from his famous theory of "the country will be destroyed within three days of the War of Resistance" to the theory of quick victory. He hurriedly transferred his more than 200,000 Central Army to the Xuzhou battlefield, in an attempt to take advantage of the aftermath of Li Zongren and other victories to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Xuzhou.

The large build-up of Chinese troops in the Xuzhou area, and the Japanese army saw this as a good opportunity to destroy the main force of the Chinese army. In early May, the Japanese army quickly assembled more than 300,000 men from more than 10 divisions and regiments to flank the Xuzhou area.

On May 15, when the Japanese encirclement in Xuzhou was about to be formed, Chiang Kai-shek found that his main force was in danger of being encircled in Xuzhou, so he hastily decided to abandon Xuzhou. In this way, the so-called Battle of Xuzhou was defeated at the very beginning. Moreover, the mobile units transferred from various places were pulled around in this way, doing nothing, adversely affecting the situation of the war throughout the country.

Kenji Dohihara was the main figure in the preparation for the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, the suppression of the anti-Japanese movement in Northeast China, and the instigation of North China to secede from China, and was the sworn enemy of the Chinese people, who was known for his espionage, conspiracy and power tricks, and was the commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army at this time. At this time, about 20,000 people of the Tufeiyuan Division forcibly crossed the Yellow River, and his purpose was to prevent reinforcements from the First War Zone from reinforcing Xuzhou, so that a lone army was formed near the Longhai Line, and the distance from the nearest friendly army was ten days and a half months.

Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly flew to the headquarters of the 1st Theater of Chengqian in Zhengzhou and decided to personally command the Eastern Henan Campaign. At this time, the Chinese army in eastern Henan had 6 armies, 6 armies and 120,000 people surrounded Tufeiyuan, and 1 division and 20,000 people.

On May 23, Tu Feiyuan began to break through and focused his attack on Lanfeng. But Shoulanfeng was Chiang Kai-shek's favorite general, but Gui Yongqing, who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Jiang Yan under Gui was the 27th Army, well-equipped, and even had the support of a German-style tank battalion, which was not necessarily even available to the Japanese army's divisions, but Gui Yongqing only defended it for less than a day, and Lanfeng was lost. Before the Japanese infantry could charge, Gui Yongqing's headquarters began to retreat on all fronts, and the armored chariots under Qiu Qingquan ran faster, drove away from the battlefield in a puff of smoke, and fled to the west of Lanfeng. The defeated army had completely lost control, and Gui Yongqing fled for his life. The defeated soldiers retreated to the vicinity of Kaifeng, and only then were they successively contained. This is a world away from the performance of many non-Chiang Kai-shek troops, such as the 19th Route Army in Shanghai, the 29th Army at Lugou Bridge, and Zhang Zizhong's troops in Taierzhuang. Most of China's rivers and mountains were lost because of the incompetence of Lao Jiang's lineage. Gui Yongqing was a relative of He Yingqin, and the loss of Lan Feng caused the entire campaign to fail, but Gui Yongqing was not punished by Chiang Kai-shek, and later was promoted to commander-in-chief of the navy.

After Tufeiyuan jumped out of the encirclement, Chiang Kai-shek was shocked and ordered to concentrate 12 divisions to besiege it with all his might, and Cheng Qian had to transfer troops again to besiege Tufeiyuan. The situation is promising. The battle was raging, according to Cheng Qian's prediction, in two or three days, there was a possibility of completely annihilating Tufeiyuan, at this juncture, unexpectedly, Huang Jie, the commander of the 8th Army who was responsible for blocking the 16th division of the Japanese army, also abandoned the city and fled. This time, the defenders did not exchange fire with the vanguard of the Japanese army, and abandoned Shangqiu without firing a shot, causing the Japanese army to take the important place of Shangqiu lightly, and the national army that was besieging the 14th Division was attacked by the enemy and fell into passivity. The "reason" for Huang Jie's escape turned out to be that the radio station was bombed and he could not contact the first war zone. An army ran away because of this ridiculous "reason", which was even more absurd than Han Fuyu's reason for abandoning Jinan. Huang Jie gave up the strategic place for this "reason", and he was also not punished by Chiang Kai-shek, which made Sun Lianzhong's department of the Northwest Army, who desperately defended Taierzhuang at the expense of exhausting his vitality, feel.

Chiang Kai-shek's two subordinate generals had no fear and did not listen to the command, which completely disrupted Cheng Qian's campaign deployment, and the precious fighter plane that annihilated Tufeiyuan was buried by the two fleeing generals.

Because the generals of the descendants were greedy for life and afraid of death, they fled from the battle, and the Kuomintang army, which had invested more than 150,000 people before and after, could not deal with the 20,000 Japanese troops in Tufeiyuan.

As soon as Cheng Qian retreated, Tufeiyuan reoccupied Lanfeng, and immediately attacked Kaifeng, which was only 50 kilometers away, and the loss of Kaifeng was a foregone conclusion, and Zhengzhou was in danger. The Battle of Lanfeng ended in the defeat of the Nationalist army, and all eastern and western Henan and western Luxi fell, and even Chiang Kai-shek himself had to admit that the Battle of Lanfeng was "a laughing stock in the history of war".

Being forced to the city so quickly by Tufeiyuan was something that Chiang Kai-shek did not expect at all. After the Japanese reinforcements and defenders converged, they pursued all the way, and nearly 30 divisions of the national army gathered in central Henan, but they could not stop these two divisions. So Chiang Kai-shek decided to make a desperate bet, open the Yellow River, and use water instead of troops to stop the Japanese army. Without giving any warning or organizing the people to retreat, the party-state ordered the sappers to blow up the mouth of the Yellow River Garden, and the boiling yellow water gushed out, drowning 890,000 Chinese civilians and forming a 30,000-square-kilometer Yellow Flood area that temporarily blocked the rapid advance of the Japanese army, affecting more than 10 million people and leaving their homes as many as 5 million.

The shameful behavior of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, represented by Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie, made the Lanfeng Battle and the entire eastern Henan war situation out of control. Huang Jie disobeyed the order and was only dismissed, and in September 1939, he was transferred to the director of the Education Department of the Central Military Academy in Chengdu. Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie were both in the first phase of Whampoa, and Lao Chiang's favorite generals both escaped severe punishment, and later one officer became commander-in-chief of the navy, and the other became the minister of defense and the governor of Taiwan Province, and was often called "famous anti-Japanese generals" by the Kuomintang.

In particular, the "Jinan Incident" made too deep an impression on Chiang Kai-shek, and Huang Jie, who was guarding him, was deeply imprinted in the mind of the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee.

Shortly after his release from prison, in 1944, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Huang Jie as commander of the 11th Army, responsible for counteroffensive operations in western Yunnan.

And now he is the acting commander-in-chief of the 11th Army.......
