In the republic of China period, ordinary people want to get ahead, the best way is to join the army, especially if you can be admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, it is undoubtedly "pronounced" their bright future, because the people who come out of the Whampoa Military Academy will basically be reused, as long as you have talent, of course, the premise is that you must be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, you can soar to the top.
And today's protagonist also thinks so, he was born in a peasant family in Hunan, but not poor, it should be said that it is a rich peasant, there are more than 10 houses in the ancestors, and there are 30 acres of land, but there are 5 brothers and sisters in the family, so it is indeed very rich.
In his early years, he also went to private school, and the dream that made him join the army was because of the famous May Fourth Movement, which made him thoroughly feel the importance of patriotism, and he must resolutely resist the Japanese, which directly forced him to choose to join the army and serve the country, he is the famous anti-Japanese general Zheng Dongguo of the national army.
In 1924, Zheng Dongguo heard that a heavyweight military school had been opened in Guangzhou, that is, the famous Whampoa Military Academy, which undoubtedly greatly attracted the attention of Zheng Dongguo, but there was an accident in the middle.
Because of the problem of time, Zheng Dongguo lost the quota for applying for the Whampoa Military Academy, and this result made Zheng Dongguo very depressed, so what to do? Fortunately, at this time, he learned that a person had applied for two places in a row, but he was admitted once, so naturally there was an extra place, so Zheng Dongguo was admitted to Huangpu with his name.
However, Zheng Dongguo is an imposter after all, if he is found to be sure to be expelled, for this reason, he finally decided to tell the instructor of Huangpu about his imposter after repeated consideration, what he did not expect was that Zheng Dongguo was not expelled because of this, because the instructor was very appreciative of Zheng Dongguo's achievements, and he also took the initiative to admit his mistakes, so he broke the rules to let Zheng Dongguo successfully enter the school.
After that, Zheng Dongguo also participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and also practiced in these several major battles, so that Zheng Dongguo's military command ability was rapidly improved, which is why Zheng Dongguo was appointed as the brigade commander of the fourth brigade of the Second Division a few years later, and played a very good result in the Great Wall Resistance War, although he was defeated!
And the real name of Zheng Dongguo began to ring out 19 years later, that is, in the Burmese battlefield in the War of Resistance Against Japan, in early 1943, Zheng Dongguo was appointed as the commander of the new 1st Army of the Chinese Army in India, the combat task is to coordinate the relationship between the allied forces and the Nationalist army, and it is necessary to achieve the same enemy and ensure the victory of the counter-offensive campaign in northern Burma.
Unexpectedly, General Zheng Dongguo did not disappoint Chinese, and under his leadership, he successively won major victories such as the Battle of Hukang River Valley and the Battle of Menggong River Valley, which greatly dealt a blow to the Japanese 18th Division, which is known as the "King of subtropical jungles".
It was precisely because of the victory in the counter-offensive campaign in northern Burma that Zheng Dongguo was promoted to lieutenant general in the nationalist army in 1945. However, in the War of Liberation, Zheng Dongguo was indeed against our army, because he was extremely loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, but in the Liaoshen Campaign, General Zheng Dongguo was held hostage by his subordinates and had to surrender.
Although Zheng Dongguo still did not cooperate at first, with the change of time, Zheng Dongguo was finally influenced by the sincerity of our party.
