When it comes to the most beautiful battles fought by the Kuomintang in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many people will think of Taierzhuang, and many people will think of the Battle of Changsha. Although the strength is not as great as Li Zongren's, Xue Yue's contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression are also quite a lot, and he can almost be called the first famous anti-Japanese general of the Nationalist Army! In fact, the reason why he called this name is because of the ancient Yue Fei, which shows that he has set the ambition to serve the country since he was a child.
However, this man who made great achievements in the war did not live happily in his old age. It turned out that in his early years, he ran to the Baoding Military Academy to study. Later, after meeting Dr. Sun Yat-sen, he was also entrusted with a heavy responsibility and became the commander of his guard battalion, which was enough to see Mr. Sun's trust and love for him! By the time the Japanese devils came, he had grown into the commander-in-chief of the army group.
Unlike many generals of the Nationalist army who panicked at that time, he accumulated fame by virtue of his battle achievements, but he behaved calmly and organized his soldiers to carry out life-and-death battles against Japanese devils again and again! The battle he led his troops in Wanjialing was actually not optimistic about the world, but he brought back a great victory, killing more than 10,000 devils and bringing back more than 300 prisoners! This achievement quickly spread throughout the national army camp, making the soldiers at that time realize that as long as they dare to fight hard, the little devil is not terrible!
It was precisely by virtue of the bloody struggle that he greatly increased the confidence of the generals of the Nationalist army, and Chiang Kai-shek also greatly appreciated him. When it came to the Battle of Changsha, he thought of him commanding the battle. Although Chiang Kai-shek was not satisfied with many of his commands during the war, the facts proved him correct! According to his original special method of warfare, the Japanese army replaced several commanders, but they could not reverse the decline on the battlefield, but he looked for an opportunity to kill more than 100,000 Japanese troops!
After this battle, many elite units of the Japanese army were wiped out, and there was no longer any arrogance. In fact, the impact of this war was not only at home, but even the Us-British coalition forces fighting in the Pacific at that time were deeply encouraged by this. Because before, they did not take too much advantage in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, in the process of fighting with the Japanese army! Considering his role in boosting the morale of the Allied forces, even President Truman specially awarded him the Medal of Freedom!
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek was also quite happy, after all, this was also something that made him grow a face in front of the Americans, and for this he also presented him with the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun! For Chiang Kai-shek, the happier one is still to come, because this war has made the Americans impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Nationalist army, and the 500 million US dollars borrowed that have been repeatedly negotiated before have been borrowed this time! This shows Xue Yue's superiority! Unlike his achievements on the battlefield, he was ostracized in the official arena and later had to be idle.
