Lieutenant General James Van Fritt took over the post of Commander-in-Chief of Li Qiwei's Eighth Army. Van Fritt graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1915, two years earlier than Li Qiwei. At the prime of his class, 59 of the 164 students became generals, including two five-star generals, Eisenhower and bradley. Van Fritt, who has always been at the top of the military academy, had a bumpy career. This is because Marshall, the chief of staff of the U.S. Army, who has always been famous for knowing people and being good at their duties, regards him as another Van Frett who is famous for his drinking habits. It is said that this is Marshall's only mistake in personnel appointment and dismissal. Until the Normandy landing in the late World War II, he was only the head of the 29th Infantry Division, and he was appointed as the acting division commander because of his poor command in the battle, which revealed his outstanding military talent and served as a division commander and commander. He was sent to Greece just after the end of World War II, and in a very short time, he eliminated as many as 1, armed forces, thus becoming famous. He is regarded as an expert in mountain warfare, and just like a soldier born for war, he is full of military talents, but he lacks a little political mind. At the beginning of the post of Commander of the Eighth Army, he fought back resolutely and favorably, giving a scare to the volunteers who had just finished the fifth campaign.
