If you take a closer look, Xue Yue can participate in many entertainment programs in later generations just by virtue of his appearance: he is very similar to Chen Yufan in "Yuquan", if you don't care about Chen Yufan's long hair, the similarity can almost reach eighty. But it's a pity that Xue Yue failed to enter the entertainment industry, but joined the Alliance at the age of 13, and was arrogant and arrogant, and won the title of "Tiger Cub".

However, although arrogant, the name of "Xue Laohu" is not in vain.

As a non-Chiang descendant who had opposed Chiang Kai-shek and had even followed others in the crusade against Chiang Lao, Xue Yue was able to occupy a very high position in the Kuomintang army, almost entirely because of his military talents that had been cultivated since he was 10 years old.

In 1934, it was Xue Yue's troops who directly forced the Central Red Army to leave Ruijin for the Long March, and most of the Red Army's several defeats in the Long March were also related to Xue Yue. Among them, after the Red Army entered Hunan, the Battle of Xiangjiang in November can be called a tragic defeat in the history of the Red Army - the Central Red Army of the Long March fought with an enemy army three times its own for five days and five nights, and the original 86,000 people fought to only 30,000, and the main attacker was Xue Yue.

In 1935, Xue Yue recreated the Red Fourth Front Army, forcing it to retreat into Tibet and find itself in a difficult situation. In July of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Xue Yue's troops north to Ganshan, and the southern part of Hu Zong, the 3rd Route Army originally stationed in the northwest, was placed under the command of Xue Yue, preventing the Red Army from moving north out of Gansu to the northwest. But in October 1935, Chiang Kai-shek made a fatal mistake, he actually changed his order to Xue Yuedong to enter Hubei to encircle and suppress He Long, and handed over the military power of the Northwest to Zhang Xueliang. As a result, Zhang Xueliang had an unfavorable division, and then compromised with the Red Army, and a year later, the "Xi'an Incident" broke out. And for this matter. Xue Yue has always been extremely indignant, believing that "it was a shame for soldiers to fail to destroy the Communist Party back then...... Although I don't know if this is another arrogant performance of Xue Laohu, combined with his military achievements, it is obvious that he forced the Red Army very badly at the beginning.

The failure to destroy the CCP made Xue Yue regret, or perhaps his position in Chinese history fell slightly. But with the development of time, the name Xue Yue has become really loud again. In August 1937, the Battle of Songhu broke out. Xue Yuefeng was transferred to Nanjing and appointed commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army. It was incorporated into the Left Wing Army and put into the Songhu battlefield. From this time on, Xue Yue fought for the independence and liberation of the nation for eight years, made great achievements, and his military career also reached its peak.

September 24 - November 12, 1937. Xue Yue participated in the Battle of Songhu.

In December 1937, Xue Yue led his troops to withdraw to the border of Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi. 27th. He was promoted to the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the 3rd Theater of Operations.

December 1937 - May 1938. Xue Yue successively established guerrilla base areas in the Huangshan Mountains and Tianmu Mountains, commanded all units of the Third Theater to advance behind enemy lines in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, and launched guerrilla warfare against various communication lines such as Beijing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, as well as the Yangtze River waterway, thus containing a large amount of vitality of the Japanese army, stabilizing the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and effectively cooperating with the Battle of Xuzhou.

May 11, 1938. Xuzhou was tight, and Chiang Kai-shek transferred Xue Yue to be the commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the First Theater of Operations, and quickly went to eastern Henan to command the operation.

From May 14 to June 1, 1938, Xue Yue commanded the Battle of Lanfeng. Inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese Tohihara Division. It was only because of poor command that when the war was difficult, there were many disobedience, which caused the Tufeiyuan Division to break out of the encirclement and then threaten Wuhan. In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Cheng Qian, then the commander of the First Theater of Operations, to blow up the Yellow River.

On May 30, 1938, Xue Yue was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the First War Zone. Soon, Xue Yue commanded the troops to achieve a great victory at Wanjialing, almost completely annihilating the Japanese 106th Division.

In December 1938, Xue Yue was promoted to the post of deputy commander of the Ninth Theater and acting commander.

In January 1939, Xue Yue concurrently served as the chairman of Hunan Province.

After that, the Battle of Nanchang began.

……

In modern history, it is rare for someone like Xue Yue to have made so many achievements in military affairs. His military talent is far superior to that of many Kuomintang bigwigs, but because he has always done nothing in politics, many people have ignored it. However, although this person has always been anti-communist and a staunch anti-communist, his achievements on foreign battlefields cannot be erased. Of course, some people may ask, is this an open eye for the warlords who once opposed the party and the people? This is wrongful. Think about the Kuomintang and think about Lao Chiang, they used to be full of talents, especially in the military, and they can be said to be as many as stars. Moreover, whether in equipment or in other aspects, they were also incomparably ahead of the Communist Party. But in the end, they were defeated and driven out of the mainland. If it weren't for the fact that the Americans have been obstructing it, Taiwan would have been recovered long ago. What is the reason for this, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, and they cannot deny it, it was the Communist Party of China chosen by the vast majority of Chinese people at that time! And if Lao Chiang can also gain the support of the common people, with his strength, he still needs to flee to Taiwan? On the contrary, it should be his subordinates who are chasing the Communist Party everywhere and reproducing the story of the Long March. Therefore, we cannot blame the past for some dissatisfaction with the present. Just as our current backwardness is not the cause of our ancestors.

Send your emotions and get back to the point.

……

Xue Yue was actually very reluctant to command this Nanchang battle.

That's right, the war developed in favor of the Ninth War Zone from the beginning, Okamura Ningji, the great enemy, proudly plunged into the encirclement woven by him and Luo Zhuoying with heavy troops, and the accurate bombing of the air force made Okamura Ningji collapse many front teeth, and the Japanese army, which had always been aggressive, was much weaker because of the lack of artillery and combat vehicles.

But Xue Yue just wasn't happy.

The reason is very simple: he, the acting commander of the Ninth Theater, actually has to be commanded.

It really doesn't make sense.

In these years, except for Lao Jiang, except for the limited number of old guys, who dares to command him? But that's the case now. The most annoying thing is that this person is not the Army, but the Air Force! And if he is asked to find another reason for indignation, that person is not the commander of the Air Force, but only a chief of staff of the Air Force.

"Tonight, I'll just say that tonight, no matter whether those air force cubs arrive or not, they will launch a general attack on me!"

Nanchang, Luo Zhuoying's headquarters, Xue Yue roared loudly at his operational staff officers...... He had never been so "insulted". Of course, this is not an insult, and this is tantamount to sending war merits to him. But as the commander of the theater of operations, he went to the battlefield in person, but he could not command the battle freely, except for Lao Jiang, no one dared to treat him like this. And Lao Chiang, most of the time, only made demands, and rarely really interfered with his command of the front. But that Qin Wei ...... Since he arrived in Nanchang, he has not really given a single order. Because under the command of intelligence, Luo Zhuoying is enough to deal with those scenes. His role is to demand that those front-line officers and men must achieve what combat goals. Even this effect is not very obvious, because as long as there is a problem at the front, the Air Force will be dispatched...... Why haven't I seen these guys so diligent before?

"Chief Xue, the Air Force said it, people are already being sent here......" Luo Zhuoying smacked his lips. He didn't understand why Xue Yue was so angry. At this point in the war, the role of the Air Force is obvious. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had blown up the opponent's heavy artillery and chariot clusters one after another, not to mention whether it could surround Okamura Ningci, looking at the other party's desperate strength, whether Nanchang City could hold it or not was two words. If it weren't for the fact that the Air Force, through accurate intelligence, first blew up the enemy's poison gas bombs, making them ineffective, but wounding the Japanese army itself, especially the 6th Division, which was strong in combat power, lost a considerable amount of combat strength, they would not have been as "easy" as they are now...... The bombing of the Nanxun Railway by the Air Force, although it made people feel a little distressed, also ensured that they could deal with Okamura Ningji in front of them with peace of mind, without worrying about enemy support. It was the first time he had fought in such a favorable situation, and he felt that it was cool in his heart. But he didn't understand why Xue Yue was unhappy.

"I don't care. If the allotted time is not met, we will launch a general offensive. Xue Yue glared at Luo Zhuoying, "His Air Force is amazing, and our Ninth War Zone is not bad." …… They helped a lot, but if you think about it, Okamura Ninji was captured alive by the Air Force in our encirclement...... If people hear this, who can't laugh off their big teeth? ”

"But this is an order from the chairman himself!" Luo Zhuoying didn't expect Xue Yue to think like this. He admits that this is indeed a bit unbelievable at first hearing, and it is easy for those who do not know to think that the Ninth War Zone is incompetent. Who said that China did not have paratroopers before? Who would have thought that this time the above would suddenly think of airborne operations? Who would have thought that hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the huge Ninth War Zone would only serve a few hundred air force paratroopers in such a battle? But thinking about Chiang Kai-shek's order again, he still didn't dare to accept Xue Yue's order. Can death be the same as capture? Especially in the face of Japanese devils who are proud of suicide, what chance is there that a group army commander can be captured alive? Although the elimination of Okamura Ninji and the three divisions led by him will greatly increase the morale of the Chinese and destroy the prestige of the Japanese, but if the morale is increased again and the prestige is extinguished, it will not be comparable to the last time the Air Force blew up and killed Sugiyama Moto, right? It wasn't a lucky bombing, it was a premeditated fixed-point bombing by the air force, and it was going to the Japanese general. No matter how powerful Okamura Ninji is, he is a lieutenant general, and if he is killed, everyone will not be more excited than when he hears that Sugiyama Gen was killed, but if he is captured, it will be two different things with completely different meanings.

"I don't care. On the battlefield, the fighter plane is fleeting. Lao Tzu has been waiting for them for several days, and there is no reason to waste time and the lives of his brothers on a so-called airborne landing that they don't know the edge. Xue Yuehu grimaced, "That's the order!" When the time comes, launch a general attack for me! ”

"Chief Xue......"

"Boom-boom-"

Luo Zhuoying's persuasion was interrupted by a burst of artillery fire, and just as he was surprised, an operational staff officer rushed over in a hurry:

"Report, the Japanese army suddenly launched a fierce attack on the north gate, the artillery fire was extremely fierce, the 30th Army could not stop it, General Wang Lingji asked the headquarters to send reinforcements immediately!" (To be continued......)
