Timeline

1907

Hu Lien (, courtesy name Boyu (伯玉); October 1, 1907 – June 22, 1977) was a Republic of China Army general.

His career spanned the Northern Expedition, the Encirclement Campaigns, the Central Plains War, the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War.

Hu was born in Hua County (now Huazhou District), Shaanxi in 1907.

1925

He studied at the Whampoa Military Academy, and graduated alongside Lin Biao in 1925.

After graduating, he joined the National Revolutionary Army and fought during the Northern Expedition.

Following the end of the Northern Expedition, a coalition of warlords led by Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and the New Guangxi clique who had supported the National Revolutionary Army attempted to wrestle control from Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing government in the Central Plains War.

Hu was ordered to command a company against Feng Yuxiang's forces, and despite heavy artillery fire, Hu's company held its position.

At the end of the conflict Hu was promoted to battalion commander.

1948

Before the Huaihai Campaign in 1948, Hu's father died and he had dental problems, and thus he was absent from the military front.

1952

Hu also commanded the Republic of China Army forces sent to raid Nanri Island in October 1952.

1958

During the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis in August 1958, he was nearly killed by the People's Liberation Army artillery barrage that killed three deputy commanders of the Kinmen Defense Command, Ji Xingwen, Zhao Jiaxiang, and Zhang Jie.

By September 11, the Republic of China's position had improved enough for their forces to start shelling Xiamen on the mainland.

In late 1958, Hu's command in Kinmen was replaced by Liu Anqi.

1964

He later served as the Republic of China's ambassador to South Vietnam from 1964 to 1972.

In Taiwan, Hu played a major role in Taiwan–Vietnam relations, serving as the ambassador to South Vietnam in Saigon from 1964 to 1972.

1967

He survived multiple attempts on his life, such as the 1967 Saigon Chinese embassy bombing.

His appointment to the Republic of Vietnam was part of the Republic of China's policy of sharing its expertise in anti-communist affairs with other countries in the region.

Chiang Kai-shek had deep faith in his military leadership and gave a sword with inlaid jewels to Hu.

1975

He was promoted to four-star general in 1975 after nearly fifty years of army service.

1977

Hu died from a heart attack in 1977 and was buried in Kinmen, the same island where he had defeated communist forces in 1949 and 1958.

2011

During the first phase of the Chinese Civil War, Hu participated in multiple encirclement campaigns against the Chinese Communists, eventually being promoted to deputy commander of the 11th Division just prior to the outbreak of the war with Japan.

Hu was a regiment commander in the 11th division during the Battle of Shanghai.

He was wounded several times (including a shot through the jaw) and was promoted to division commander after the Chinese defeat.

As part of their proposed Sichuan invasion plan, the Imperial Japanese Army attacked Western Hubei, hoping to destroy the Chongqing government's last remaining power base.

2012

When the 12th Army Group was surrounded by the communist troops in Anhui, Hu was flown in a small airplane to the battlefield, and personally led a rescue mission and breakout from the encirclement with the remnant of his troops.

After a week of retreat, he reached Nanjing and Chiang Kai-shek tasked him with reorganizing the 12th Army Group.

He had twice been appointed as commander of the Kinmen Defense Command, and defeated the People's Liberation Army forces sent to attack Kinmen during the Battle of Guningtou.

2018

Under Hu's command, the newly formed 18th Corps repulsed the Japanese attack.

Afterwards, he was awarded with the Order of Blue Sky and White Sun for his actions.

Following the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Second United Front dissolved, and the Chinese Civil War quickly resumed.

As a result of Hu's military record, his unit was deployed around Central and Eastern China as a firefighting brigade against the Chinese Communists.

His campaigns were successful in defeating the communist forces, defeating communist commanders such as Liu Bocheng and Su Yu.
