During the Liberation War, many senior Kuomintang generals committed suicide on the battlefield or were shot dead by our army, and did not persist until the end of the war. Let us take a look at the top ten generals who were shot dead or committed suicide by our army during the Liberation War.
The first thing we want to say is Huang Baitao, commander of the Seventh Corps of the Kuomintang. Among the many Kuomintang generals who are seriously corruption and can only talk on paper, Huang Baitao is one of the few generals with real talents and practical skills, and has also posed a considerable threat to our party.
Huang Baitao was born in a family of military generals. He is free to master martial arts and is familiar with military tactics. He was originally the brigade commander of the warlord Zhang Zongchang . After Zhang Zongchang was eliminated by Chiang Kai-shek, he joined Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates. During the Southern Anhui Incident, Huang Baitao was ordered to encircle the New Fourth Army troops with tens of thousands of people. Under his command, the New Fourth Army, with less than 2,000 people, finally broke through the encirclement.
After the outbreak of the Liberation War, Huang Baitao served as the commander of the Seventh Corps, posing a considerable threat to our army in Huaihai Battle . In the end, Huaye completely eliminated Huang Baitao's Seventh Corps at the cost of 60,000 people. After the defeat, Huang Baitao followed Chiang Kai-shek's spirit of killing and died on the spot.
Zhang Lingfu is a "star" general among the Kuomintang generals. He had outstanding results during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Today, he can still see Zhang Lingfu's shadow in many film and television works.
But in fact, Zhang Lingfu was an absolute literati before joining the army. After graduating from middle school, he was admitted to the History Department of Peking University. However, as a student, he felt that he could not contribute to the country, so he chose to give up Peking University and was admitted to Whampoa Military Academy in 1926.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, my country did not have many real victory in the sense of the true sense. In addition to the Taierzhuang victory, it was the 0,000 Jialing victory. In the 0,000 Jialing Battle, , Zhang Lingfu led his troops to fight the Japanese army for five days and five nights, and finally wiped out the 106th Division of the Japanese Army. This was also the only time that the Japanese division was wiped out in the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
. With his outstanding achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Lingfu was also deeply loved by Chiang Kai-shek. In the War of Liberation, Zhang Lingfu was appointed as the commander of the 74th Division to station in the Huaihai area. In the Battle of Huaihai, Zhang Lingfu's 74th Division was a tough bone and almost blocked Huaye outside the gate of Shandong. In the end, Su Yu sent five columns to eliminate the 74th Division in Menglianggu, and Zhang Lingfu was also shot dead on the position.
However, because Zhang Lingfu made great contributions to fighting Japan, Hua Ye spent a lot of money to build a coffin for him and buried him with a thick burial.
Lu Yinglin is the commander of the 35th Army of the Kuomintang ace force. In his early years, he studied in the fifth issue of Baoding Military Academy . He was a classmate of the same period with Fu Zuoyi. Because of his fellow villagers, the two had a good relationship on weekdays and even became sworn brothers of the opposite sex. After graduation, Lu Yinglin and Fu Zuoyi went their separate ways, and Lu Yinglin chose to return to Shaanxi to follow Yan Xishan .
Later, Yan Xishan launched the "Shanxi Incident " and began to hunt down anti-Japanese people. Lu Yinglin also fled to Fu Zuoyi. Fu Zuoyi attached great importance to his brother and directly appointed him as the Chief of Staff of the Deputy Chief of the 8th War Zone. Afterwards, Lu Yinglin did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He first attacked Baotou , annihilated two Japanese regiments, and then won the " Wuyuan Victory ".
After the War of Resistance Against Japan, Lu Yinglin first served as the director of the Political Department in the 12th War. After the outbreak of the Liberation War, he was quickly transferred to the 35th Army as the commander. The 35th Army was the ace force in the Kuomintang, all of which were American-style equipment and very strong combat power
In 1948, Lu Yinglin received an order to go to Baoding , and as soon as he arrived in Baoding, he received orders to Laishui support. But the 35th Army was ambushed by our army as soon as it arrived at Gaobeidian . This elite unit was defeated. Lu Yinglin retreated and fought while fighting in the chaos. Finally, with the support of the 4th Cavalry Division, he escaped.
But after escaping, Lu Yinglin was very collapsed because the 35th Army had all the U.S. military equipment, which was beaten out at the beginning, was unable to stand the stimulation, and felt that he had no face to face Fu Zuoyi, so he finally chose to commit suicide.
Guo Jingyun, like Lu Yinglin, are both Fu Zuoyi's subordinates. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, they participated in the Nankou Battle and the Xikou Battle, and together with Lu Yinglin, they won the victory of the Wuyuan Battle . During the War of Liberation, Guo Jingyun was originally the commander of the 101st Division. After Lu Yinglin committed suicide in the Laishui Battle, he took over the position of commander Lu Yinglin and was ordered to integrate the 35th Army troops.
and after the Pingjin battle started, Fu Zuoyi stationed all his family in the Pingjin area, pulling out a 500-kilometer front. The 35th Army led by Guo Jingyun was arranged to defend Beiping , but after Fu Zuoyi discovered that Northeast Field Army arrived in Zhangjiakou , he sent Guo Jingyun to take the 35th Army to fight quickly, and as a result, he was surrounded by our army in Xinbaoan County.
Finally, Guo Jingyun also chose to commit suicide just like Lu Yinglin because he had no face to face Fu Zuoyi.

After the battle started, Huang Wei's corps was surrounded in Shuangduiji, and many Kuomintang generals revolted one after another.
, and Chen Geng, who was in charge of the Huaihai Battle, immediately contacted Xiong Shouchun, hoping that he could also revolt and get rid of the Kuomintang as soon as possible. On the one hand, he was an old friend Chen Geng, and on the other hand, he was loyal to the Kuomintang, which had been loyal to him for many years. This put him in a difficult choice, but before he could make a decision, he was discovered by Hu Lian and shot him to death on the spot.
6. Qiu Qingquan

Under the order of Du Yuming and , Qiu Qingquan led the Second Corps to reinforce, because Qiu Qingquan led the most advanced American armored troops, which put a lot of pressure on our army for a time.
After slowing down our army's offensive, Qiu Qingquan began to fabricate the victory of Xu Dong again and seek credit from Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek thought it was a real victory, so he made a wrong judgment on the battlefield in Xuzhou, which led to Huang Baitao's struggle to support him and never wait for aid. Finally, he committed suicide. Chiang Kai-shek realized that it was Qiu Qingquan's scam.
However, since no one is available and he is his own subordinate for many years, Qiu Qingquan was promoted to commander. The battle between Xubenghui was surrounded by our army in Chenguanzhuang area and was shot dead on the spot when breaking through.

After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, although Tang Shizun wanted to return to the Sichuan Army, he was not strong enough and was boycotted by the Sichuan Army generals, so Chiang Kai-shek only gave him a Sichuan Provincial Chairman.
After the outbreak of the Liberation War, the Sichuan Army saw that Chiang Kai-shek was betrayal and rebelled one after another. Tang Shizun's former old classmate Pan Wenhua wanted to take him to revolt, but Tang Shizun refused. He wanted to persevere until the end so that Chiang Kai-shun could see his loyalty.
