何柱國
After Japan surrendered in 1945, He Zhuguo was still the deputy commander-in-chief of the 10th theater and commander-in-chief of the 15th Army. The commander ordered He Zhuguo to head to Xuzhou, and Jiang Jieshi ordered He Zhuguo to go to Chongqing for a meeting. After arriving in Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek talked with He Zhuguo several times, preparing to send He Zhuguo to take over the Northeast. But He Zhuoguo asked to resign from the military and turn to govern the Yellow River. Chiang Kai-shek persuaded him: "First solve the Northeast military problem, it will take about two years, then go to govern the Yellow River!" He Zhuguo accepted the appointment as deputy director and chief of staff of the Northeast camp and commander-in-chief of the Northeast Route Guard. In October 1945, He Zhuguo won the Medal of Honor. During the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, he worked closely with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army under the leadership of He Long and Peng Xuefeng in the northwestern Shanxi, Shaanxi-Ganning, Eastern Henan, and Northern Anhui. He visited Yan'an twice and was warmly welcomed by leaders such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Zhu De. After the victory of China's Anti-Japanese War, he served as chief of staff of the Northeast Xingyuan, but failed to take office because of sudden blindness in both eyes.
