The classic anti-war drama "The Battle of Defending Changsha" has a special plot. As the war was about to break out, a major general named Gong tried to escape the war by train. He was arrested by the gendarmerie on the platform. At this time, in the ninth theater headquarters, a group of senior generals are arguing whether to fight or withdraw. Xue Yue just borrowed the head of this major general to scare others, expressing his attitude of never giving in to death. In fact, this bridge is based on Liao Lingqi, but it is too different from the real war history.
Before the second Changsha Battle started in September, 194 1, 74th Army was trained and consolidated in Xinyu, Jiangxi after its high-altitude campaign. The battle sequence is: 5 1 division commander Wang, 57th division commander and 58th division commander Liao Lingqi (Zhang is the deputy division commander). Directly under the CMC? Attack force? After the Japanese army crossed the new wall in Hebei Province, two elite troops, the 10 Army (in Hengyang) and the 74th Army, were ordered to rush to the north of Hunan Province as the main force of Xue Yue's decisive battle corps.

Liao Lingqi was born in 1905. He was originally from Qiyang, Hunan. He graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu Military Academy. After graduation, he joined the Fourth Army of Tiejun as a platoon leader. In the famous Battle of Tingsi Bridge in the Northern Expedition, his right arm was seriously injured and disabled, causing him to write with his left hand all his life. Later, he was transferred to the 88th Division of Dexie as the battalion commander and participated in 1932? One two eight? During the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai and Song Dynasties, he was promoted to be the head of the regiment, and later participated in the 1937 Shanghai-Song Campaign. Huoxian was promoted to brigade commander, who was Sun's direct subordinate. He once led troops to defend the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing.
1938, Yu Jishi changed from a part-time 58th division to a full-time teacher. Feng Shengfa, the deputy commander of the 88th Division (Huangpu Phase I) of the Military Commission, was promoted to the 58th Division, and Liao Lingfu was also transferred as the deputy commander. Both of them were promoted to a higher level. The following year, Yu Jishi was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the 10 army, unwilling to condescend to the three-phase younger brother Wang, so Liao Lingqi naturally took over as the commander of the 58th division, and Zhang, the former brigade commander of 153, was appointed as the deputy commander.

For the soldiers in the ninth war zone, the second Changsha Battle was actually a great defeat, which was caused by the fact that the communication code in the war zone was deciphered by the Japanese aggressors and Xue Yue's tactical command error. On the same day, when the 1 1000 army commanded by Ananwicki went south, Xue Yue completely underestimated the advancing speed of the Japanese army, and rashly ordered the 74th army and 10 army to cross the Laodao River to meet them, only to be violently attacked by the two main divisions of the Japanese army.
Although Li Yutang and Wang's troops are the first-class main forces, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of strength, firepower and combat power compared with the two old standing divisions of the Japanese army (the 3rd and 6th divisions) in a one-on-one situation, which is determined by the combat effectiveness of the Chinese and Japanese troops at that time. During the war to 194 1 September 17, two heavy casualties were broken, and Xue Yue gave the order to retreat.
