File:Sun Yuanliang.jpg Sun Yuanliang (Chinese: 孫元良; pinyin: Sūn Yúanlíang) (1904 - 2007) was a general of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China. Sun was the last surviving member of the first graduating class of the Whampoa Military Academy, as well as the last surviving army-level commander of the Second Sino-Japanese War. His career spanned the January 28 Incident (1932 Shanghai war), Second Sino-Japanese War, and the Chinese Civil War.[1]
In the 1932 Japanese invasion of Shanghai, Sun led his division to defeat the Japanese at Miaoxingzhen (廟行鎮), in what the media billed as the first Chinese military victory over Japan. When full-scale war broke out between China and Japan in 1937, Sun led his 88th Division in the Battle of Shanghai.[1] He personally gave the order to regimental commander Xie Jinyuan to hold onto the Sihang Warehouse at the conclusion of the three-month battle.
In the Chinese Civil War, he lost a crucial battle against the People's Liberation Army in Jiangsu Province with 500,000 Nationalist troops lost. Sun retired shortly after following Chiang Kai-Shek to Taiwan. [1]
