What are the specific situations of General Zhang Zizhong and General Zhang Zhizhong?

Although Zhang Zizhong and Zhang Zhizhong sound similar, they are two different people; and they are both important historical figures in our modern history.

Everyone must distinguish them clearly, know them and remember them!

First of all, General Zhang Zizhong is a national hero, an anti-Japanese martyr, and a historical figure that needs to be remembered and cannot be discredited.

General Zhang Zizhong, also known as Xin Chen, was born in Linqing, Shandong Province in 1891 into a family of officials. His family was fairly well off.

In 1911, Zhang Zizhong was admitted to the Peiyang School of Law and Politics, where he joined the Chinese Tongmenghui and became a revolutionary party.

Of course, he really made his fortune in the Northwest Army!

In 1916, he followed Feng Yuxiang under the introduction of his fellow countryman Che Zhen. Under Feng Yuxiang's command, Zhang Zizhong started as a small platoon leader and worked hard all the way. He experienced many warlord melees including the Zhizhi-Fengtian War and the Central Plains War, and gradually grew into the main general of the Northwest Army.

After reorganization in 1931, Zhang Zizhong served as division commander of the 29th Army!

We are all familiar with the 29th Army. Under the leadership of General Song Zheyuan, it has always been the vanguard of the anti-Japanese war, and the Broadsword Team is even more powerful in the world. Therefore, General Zhang Zizhong can be regarded as the first batch of soldiers to fight with the Japanese army.

In 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out and the all-out war of resistance began. General Zhang Zizhong, as the representative of the 29th Army, was negotiating with the Japanese army. As we all know, the negotiation failed, Pingjin fell, General Tong Ge and General Zhao Dengyu died for their country, and General Zhang Zizhong, who negotiated, became the target of public criticism and was once misunderstood by public opinion as a "traitor".

After leaving Peiping, General Zhang Zizhong led his troops to participate in the Battle of Linyi and the Battle of Suizao, with great results, and he was appointed commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army.

In 1940, during the Battle of Zaoyi, Zhang Zizhong led the 33rd Group Army to participate in the battle. As the commander-in-chief of the group army, he visited the front line in person and led his troops on the battlefield. You must know that at this level, he is completely sitting in the rear, but he does not.

In the end, General Zhang Zizhong was surrounded by the Japanese army and faced a desperate situation!

But even at this time, General Zhang Zizhong did not choose to break out and retreat, but stood firm!

In the end, the entire army was wiped out, and General Zhang Zizhong also died for his country.

General Zhang Zizhong died in battle. At the last moment, he ran out of bullets, but he still fought with the Japanese army with his rifle. According to inspection, General Zhang Zizhong had eight wounds on his body, including two cannonball wounds, one bayonet wound, and five gunshot wounds. One can imagine what his experience was like on the battlefield.

Many people say that General Zhang Zizhong went there with the determination to die this time. He wanted to use blood to wash away the stigma that was placed on his head. He wanted to use his death to inspire the people of the country. .

After the death of General Zhang Zizhong, the Japanese respected him greatly and carefully collected his body without any damage. Later, the general's body was recaptured and on its way back to Chongqing, the Japanese army stopped air strikes so that the general's loyal soul could reach Chongqing smoothly and to prevent damage to the general's body.

At that time, the general's coffin had to be boarded via Yichang and transported to Chongqing by water. On the river bank that day, one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians sent him off respectfully. During this period, Japanese aircraft flew over three times, but no one evaded or escaped.

After arriving in Chongqing, all high-level government officials went to Chaotianmen Pier to welcome Zhang Zizhong. On November 16, 1940, Zhang Zizhong was buried with a state funeral in Meihuashan, Chongqing (his wife, Ms. Li Minhui, went on a hunger strike for seven days after hearing the news of the death). He died on the same day and was buried here). The Martyrs Cemetery is still there for future generations to pay their respects.

General Zhang Zizhong is the highest-ranking general who died in the Allied Forces in World War II. He is a national hero and a true soldier.

Then let’s talk about General Zhang Zhizhong, who is also a senior general of the Kuomintang. However, he was from the Central Army and belonged to the top ranks of the Huangpu Clique. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as Chairman of Hunan for more than a year. He was later dismissed due to the "11.13 Changsha Fire". Since then, he has held more civilian positions and did not directly participate in the war against Japan.

After the Liberation War, he joined New China!
