Zhang Lingpu 74th Division

There is no difference. In fact, it was adapted from the 74 th Army, one of the five main forces of the National Army. The strength of the "reorganized 74th Division" is still more than 20,000 people. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, it was also called "the first terrorist army in China" by the Japanese army. Its predecessor was the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which was established in Zhejiang in 1937 and was finally annihilated by the People's Liberation Army 1948.

Establishment of seventy-four armies and five captains

1937, 33-year-old Yu Jishi received a power of attorney from the National Government, and was appointed as the newly formed commander of the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the first commander of the 74th Army. Yu Jishi, a fellow villager of Chiang Kai-shek, was born in Huangpu Phase I.. The 74th Army, under the leadership of Yu Jishi, took part in the battles in Shanghai and Nanking. 1939 Yu Jishi was transferred as deputy commander-in-chief of the 10th regiment.

1June, 939, Wang took over as the second commander of the 74th Army and led the 74th Army to participate in the battles in Changsha, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and western Hubei. At that time, the 74 th Army had a strong fighting capacity. Many people said, "I would rather meet the prince than the old king of the 74 th Army!" 1943 Wang was promoted to commander-in-chief of the 29th regiment.

1943, Shi Zhongcheng was appointed as the commander of the 74th Army and the third commander. At the same time, Shi Zhongcheng led 74 troops to participate in the battle of Xiangxi, cooperated with Wang's five divisions to annihilate thousands of Japanese troops and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. The victory in Xiangxi made the Japanese army dare not rashly advance westward, and the strength of the 77 th Army increased greatly. This victory enabled the 74th Army to win the Flying Tiger Flag. 1945 Shi Zhongcheng was transferred to Nanjing Garrison Commander.

The 74th Army was reorganized into the 74th Division.

1946, Zhang served as the commander of the 74th Army. That is, at this time, the 74th Army was reorganized into the 74th Division, with Zhang as the teacher, and was downsized from the original 3rd Brigade and 9th Regiment to 3rd Brigade and 6th Regiment. There are more than 30 thousand people in the whole division. Although he is a teacher, Zhang is actually the fourth commander, with the rank of lieutenant general.

Zhang led the reorganization of the 74th Division to attack the New Fourth Army and northern Jiangsu, but later, in 1947, Zhang was killed by the East China Field Army because he was aggressive alone.

1947, the Kuomintang reorganized and reorganized the 74th Army, and Qiu Weida was appointed as the commander of the 5th Army. 1948, Qiu Weida was captured in the Chenguanzhuang area, and the 74th Army was annihilated by the PLA again. Since then, the 74th Army has disappeared.

From this point of view, if the difference between the 74th Army and the reorganized 74th Division is that the fighting capacity is not as good as before.

After Zhang became a division commander, he remained one of the five trump cards of the Kuomintang army. However, after the reorganization of the 74th Division, because of the great losses in the Anti-Japanese War, although the soldiers were supplemented, the quality and fighting capacity of the soldiers were far inferior to those of the veterans, not as good as those of the 74th Army led by Yu Jishi and Wang.

After the war of liberation began, the seventy-four division was in full swing, and it was also in the limelight at first. However, Meng Lianggu lost more than 10,000 people in World War I, and the number of recruits was not enough. The three new regiments entered the war too late and were still training in Anhui, and their overall combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

How strong is Zhang's 74th Division?

During the War of Liberation, the Battle of Meng Lianggu was a wonderful battle. The East China Field Army invested 270,000 people and the Kuomintang invested 24 divisions, with a total of 450,000 people. In this campaign, the most powerful unit in the Kuomintang army was the 74th Division reorganized by Zhang. In the end, this army was not only destroyed, but also Zhang was killed. The reorganization of the 74th Division was a great blow to the Kuomintang.

Because this unit is known as the "first division in the world."

The reorganization of the 74th Division, called "the first division in the world", is definitely not bragging. They are one of the five main forces of the people, adapted from the original 74 th Army. Although the army has been changed into a division, their strength is still more than 30 thousand. This unit not only has a long history, but also achieved brilliant results in previous wars.

The 74th Army was founded in August 1937, when it just started the all-round war of resistance, which was a great challenge for them. The 74th Army has two divisions, the most famous of which is the 5 1 division, and its teacher is Wang. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, his mother fought bravely. He participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army. It was not until Nanjing was completely occupied that they broke out. Since then, the 74th Army has participated in the battle of Xuzhou, and launched the battle of Wanjialing at 1938, which almost wiped out the Japanese army 106 division, and they themselves paid a painful price.

194 1 year, the 74th Army participated in the Battle of Shanggao. In this battle, they pursued victory as pioneers, not only recovered the land occupied by the Japanese army, but also shot the head of the 34 th division of the Japanese army. Throughout the campaign, the Japanese army suffered a devastating blow, with a casualty rate as high as 70%. The National Government also praised this as the most wonderful battle since the Anti-Japanese War. Since then, the 74th Army has gained a great reputation. It is known as the Anti-Japanese Iron Army, and was awarded the top martial arts scholar and the "Flying Tiger Flag" by the National Government.

With excellent record, Chiang Kai-shek also began to give them new equipment. They are equipped with Soviet-style equipment, not only howitzers and heavy machine guns, but even anti-tank guns. During the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, the 74th Army participated in almost all the major battles of the armies of various countries, and after Japan surrendered, it entered Nanjing to take charge of the public security work in Nanjing, and was called the "Kingsguard" by people at that time.

This unit is not Chiang Kai-shek's killer. 1946 was reorganized into 74th division, which not only inherited the complete number of troops, but also equipped with American weapons. They used to be stationed in Xiaolingwei, Nanjing, and were responsible for protecting the safety of Nanjing. They were known as the first division in the world. In the Battle of Meng Lianggu, they suffered a devastating blow. Although they were well equipped, Su Yu made a careful plan and besieged them in the mountains. Their equipment can't give full play to their advantages, and they are surrounded by the division of the People's Liberation Army. In this way, this trump card of the Kuomintang was swept away by our army, and Chiang Kai-shek was shocked to learn that this was an irreparable loss.

Zhang, teacher of Rebirth 74th Division

1, Zhang, male, Han nationality, also known as Zi, formerly known as Zi, later renamed Zhang Zi, from Chang 'an County, Shaanxi Province. Senior general of the National Revolutionary Army, with the rank of Lieutenant General, participated in the Agrarian Revolutionary War, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Liberation War. He used to be the 74th division commander of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.

2.1On August 20th, 903, Zhang was born in Dongda Village, Dongda Township, Chang 'an County, Shaanxi Province. At the end of 1937 10, Zhang was appointed as the head of the 305th regiment of the 5 1 division153rd brigade of the 74th Kuomintang Army. 1940, Zhang served as the deputy commander of the 58th division of the 74th Army. 194 1 year1year1October 24th, he was appointed as the 58th division commander of the 74th Army; 194 1 winter, he was promoted to Major General of 58th Division of 74th Army. 1946, the 74th Army Division was reorganized into the 74th Division, with Zhang as the teacher. 1May, 947 16 died in the Battle of Menglianggu at the age of 44.

How many people died in our army when we hit the 74th Division?

1In May, 947, the East China Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, under the command of Chen Yi and Su Yu, launched a heroic attack with the boldness of "one million troops taking the head of generals", annihilating the BGF 74th Division, one of the five main forces of the Kuomintang army, killing the enemy Chang Zhang, and annihilating the BGF 83, 25, 65, 83, 48,1/kloc-

According to the report of the East China Field Army that year, 2,043 people were killed and 9,300 injured in the Battle of Menglianggu. Plus other downsizing, * * * statistics 1, 2 1.89 casualties. There is another data.

1952, the local government of Shandong Province established a martyrs cemetery at the foot of Meng Lianggu Mountain, and collected and buried 2,859 martyrs who died in this battle. Up to now, the names of more than 2,700 martyrs have been found in the Martyrs Cemetery. After the death of General Su Yu, some ashes were scattered in the Martyrs Cemetery. The episode "Who doesn't say my hometown is good" in the famous movie "Red Sun" was a household name that year. It was in the Martyrs Cemetery that the creators, Yang Shuzheng and others found inspiration, and you wrote the lyrics sentence by sentence. After the song was finished, Ren Guizhen, a singer of Shanghai Opera House, was invited to sing, and the song became popular all over the country immediately after the film was released. 10 On June 24th, China launched the first artificial moon satellite "Chang 'e-1", carrying 3 1 song, and "Who doesn't say my hometown is good" topped the list and resounded through space.

In addition, I will talk about why the 74th Division fell.

Although the BGF 74th Division was advanced in equipment, it had to throw a lot of heavy guns down the mountain because it went to Meng Lianggu. It should be noted here that American105mm howitzers are not included. When the 74th Division entered Yimeng Mountain area, because only a narrow emergency road was opened, large vehicles could not pass, so Zhang ordered that most of the vehicles should be left in Duozhuang, and the trench of the whole division should be transported by mules and horses. In addition, the US howitzer battalion, chariot company and other heavy weapons units belonging to the division could not enter the mountainous area to fight, and it was not safe to put them in the village, so they returned directly to Linyi. Later, when the 74th Division had to retreat to Meng Lianggu, it mainly destroyed and threw mountain guns, anti-vehicle guns, heavy mortars and other firearms at the foot of the mountain.

In this way, the 74th Division brought some firearms up the mountain, such as light and heavy machine guns, light mortars, long and short guns and rocket launchers. Their fighting capacity has been greatly reduced. Moreover, during the war, the weather was dry for many days and the sun was like fire. The spring water on Meng Lianggu Mountain dried up, and the only pond fell into the hands of Hua Ye troops, resulting in that the 74th Division not only had no water to drink, but also the water-cooled heavy machine guns were dumb, further reducing the firepower density. Even so, Hua Ye troops still paid a huge price of nearly 3,000 soldiers and civilians killed and 9,300 injured, which shows how tragic this war is!

In addition, there is no such thing as "killed more than 10,000 people" in the 74th Division. In this campaign, the East China Field Army wiped out more than 32,000 people, but it was clearly pointed out in the Battle Report that it included the results of fighting and reorganizing the 25th Division, the 83rd Division and the 7th Army, not just the 74th Division. Before the attack on Tambu, the 74th Division was hit by Linmeng Highway, and some directly affiliated troops were not brought out, with about 25,000 people. In the battle of Meng Liang, the wild * * * captured more than 65,438+9,000 people in the 74th Division, which means that the 74th Division suffered more than 6,000 casualties.
