Du Yuming Du Yuming ( ; 1904 – 1981 ) was a Kuomintang field commander active in the Sino - Japanese War theatre of World War II and in the Chinese Civil War from 1945 to 1949 . A trusted protégé of Chiang Kai - shek , Du was a graduate of the first cadet class at the Whampoa Military Academy . During the Second Sino - Japanese War , he commanded the KMT 5th Corps in the First Changsha Campaign , and Battle of South Guangxi . During World War II , he commanded the same 5th Corps or Nationalist Fifth Army in the Battle of Yunnan - Burma Road from mid March to early June 1942 , during the Burma Campaign under Lieutenant General Joseph Stilwell . When the British Army collapsed and abandoned their Chinese saviours to their fate , Du was forced to order a hastily planned withdrawal that resulted in the loss of 50 , 000 Chinese soldiers . Yet , Du was also criticized for dismissing General Sun Li - Jen ' s advice that the route back to China is hazardous and should instead retreat with the British to India . Most men that followed Du Died in the Burmese jungle of tropical disease and starvation or were killed by the Axis forces . On the other hand , Sun ' s army retreated in an orderly fashion into India . After the war , Du helped strengthen the Nationalist position in the Southwest by removing Long Yun , the local warlord of Yunnan Province in October 1945 . Du was then transferred to the Northeast Theatre to consolidate Kuomintang control . For most of the Civil War , he served as a field commander in Manchuria and Eastern China . Toward the end of the struggles against the communists , Du correctly guessed that Major General Guo Rugui ( 郭汝瑰 ) , one of Chiang ' s most trusted staff officers , was a communist agent but the only evidence he came up with was that unlike most corrupted nationalist cadres and officers , the suspected communist spy was clean . Obviously , this was not a good reason and Chiang was enraged when Du presented his view , because Chiang interpreted such reason would imply that all of the nationalists were corrupted , and only the communists were clean , not mentioning the fact that Du ' s wife was once a communist herself . Du was captured during the Huaihai Campaign and held in prison until his pardon in 1959 , after which he was rewarded a high - ranking position in the Chinese People ' s Political Consultative Conference , reportedly because the Chinese government wanted to convince his son - in - law Yang Zhenning , a Nobel laureate in physics , to return to China . The communist agent Du correctly suspected was also in the same political organization and the two became friends .
