It happens that I have been paying attention to the five trump cards of the Kuomintang for a long time.

Besides, I just read Zhang's biography.

I can say responsibly that the trump card in the national army is the whole 74th Division.

Let me talk about the origin of the whole 74th Division first. The whole 74th Division was reorganized by the 74th Army when the Kuomintang reorganized before the Liberation War. The designation of the 74th Army was during the Battle of Songhu. Because of the large number of miscellaneous armies, Chiang Kai-shek made a major reorganization, consisting of Wang's 5 1 division and Yu Jishi's 58 division. Yu Jishi is also the commander of the 74th Army. It was 1 many years later that the 57th Division was incorporated into the battle sequence of the 74th Army.

Why do I say the 74th Army is the strongest? Because the 74th Army has basically participated in all the hard battles in East China, including Shanghai-Nanjing, Lanzhou-Changzhou, Ruichang, De 'an, Gao 'an, Nanchang, Changsha, Shanggao, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, western Hubei, Changde and the destroyer Xuefeng Mountain. In these battles, the officers and men of the 74th Army fought bloody battles.

The code name of the 74th Army is Brilliant, the code name of the 5 1 Division is Wenchang, the code name of the 57th Division is Hubin, and the code name of the 58th Division is Yulin. Zhang Henshui's "Long Live the Lakeside" is based on the story of the lakeside division guarding Changde. At that time, more than 8,000 soldiers from 57 divisions fought 16 days with more than 20,000 soldiers from 3 Japanese divisions. When all the ammunition was exhausted, the teacher Yu Chengwan broke through.

After the Battle of Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was prepared to choose four offensive troops, which were best equipped and trained, giving priority to supply. 1 The 2nd Army and the 5th Army are scheduled in advance, and the 5th Army has 200 divisions-the only mechanized division in China. Jiang gave the last 1 quota to the 74th Army, which shows the impression that the "Kingsguard Army" gave to Jiang.

The performance of the 74th Army in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression can be summed up by an evaluation after the Battle of Shanggao: "Attack on the battlefield, defend and live". Chen Cheng said to the 74th Army: "The first thing Chiang Kai-shek has to do is to mark the position of the 74th Army." Visible its ability.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the army accepted American equipment, reorganized into 74th Division, and then fought two wars, Huaiyin and Lianshui, which was all-powerful in northern Jiangsu. In Meng Lianggu, a full 74th division was stormed by five columns of the * * * Army, and nearly 50 regiments took turns to go into battle, but they persisted for several days, and no one could beat them.

If it weren't for the high-level command of the Kuomintang and the habit of uncooperative old warlords, the whole 74th Division wouldn't have lost so much. Before the withdrawal of the * * * army, more than 7,000 people sat in a valley, waiting for the withdrawal, which shows its strict discipline.

If you have any comments, please send me a message and be willing to discuss this issue. Because I made all these by myself, it took too much time and energy, so the details were ominous.
