General Zhang Lingfu is a Chinese professional soldier in the purest sense. During the Anti-Japanese War, he led the troops to fight countless tough, vicious and victorious battles, was wounded many times, experienced hundreds of battles, and narrowly escaped death. Many contemporary descendants of China may only know that Zhang Lingfu and his 74th Division (called the 74th Army during the Anti-Japanese War) were completely annihilated by the East China Field Army commanded by Generals Chen Yi and Su Yu in the Battle of Menglianggu. This is a classic example in the history of the Kuomintang Civil War. , but very little is known about General Zhang Lingfu’s other life stories before this, especially the many vicious and tough battles that General Zhang participated in during World War II and the Japanese invaders. Zhang Lingfu's 74th Army was a heroic anti-Japanese force. Under the leadership of its commander, General Wang Yaowu, it participated in almost all the major battles of the National Revolutionary Army against the Japanese army in the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War. It killed and injured countless Japanese invaders, repeatedly defeated the elite of the Japanese army, and created a national The famous De'an Victory was known as the Anti-Japanese Iron Army. If this period of history is not known to future generations, it will obviously be unfair to the anti-Japanese heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country and shed their blood. This is also the most heartbreaking thing for the Chinese people. As conscientious Chinese, we have the responsibility to inform future generations of China about this true history, so that they can have a more comprehensive understanding of the suffering process of the Chinese nation that occurred more than 60 years ago. As historical materialists, we should not judge heroes only based on ideology and personal success or failure. We should get rid of the historical dross of "the winner is king and the loser is bandit" in traditional Chinese culture and be able to be objective and objective from a historical perspective. It would be biased to comprehensively evaluate General Zhang Lingfu's life as a professional soldier.
