Wei Lihuang Wei Lihuang ( ) ( 16 February 1897 – 17 January 1960 ) was a Chinese general who served the Nationalist government throughout the Chinese Civil War and Second Sino - Japanese War as one of China ' s most successful military commanders . First joining the Kuomintang ( KMT ) during the early 1920s , Wei would rise to become general after the Northern Expedition , a two year campaign to unify China . His later success under Chiang Kai - shek during the Bandit ( Communist ) Suppression Campaigns from 1930 to 1934 would earn him the nickname " Hundred Victories Wei " . War with Japan . A general during the Second Sino - Japanese War , Wei commanded the First War Area . With the entry of Great Britain and later the United States in the war against Japan , he was transferred to southern China as commander of the Nationalist Chinese XI Group Army . He later replaced General Chen Cheng as commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces , known as Y Force . Y - Force consisted of over 100 , 000 Nationalist soldiers , and participated in major ground operations in support of American General Joseph W . Stilwell ' s offensive in northern Burma . Unlike many of his contemporaries , Wei was able to work effectively with American commanders . Beginning his offensive into southern Yunnan on 11 May 1944 , Wei ' s troops captured Tengchung on 15 September after two months of heavy fighting . Proceeding southward despite heavy resistance , his forces eventually linked up with Chinese divisions in Wanting , Burma on January 27 , 1945 . The success of this offensive allowed the Allies to reopen the former Burma Road supply network to China through Ledo , Burma , now named the Ledo Road . In concert with existing airlift operations over the Hump , the Ledo Road enabled overland transport of military supplies from India to Nationalist bases in China . Postwar career . Recalled to northern China to again replace General Chen Cheng following the war , Wei was placed in command of KMT forces in northeast China in October 1947 . After being cutoff from land communication with the KMT with the communist capture of Chinchow ( Jinzhou 锦州 , Liaoning ) , he was supposedly planning for an offensive to recapture the Nationalist provincial capital before he was ordered to withdraw by Chiang Kai - shek . Shortly before the communist capture of Mukden ( Shenyang ) , Wei would return to southern China following his replacement by his field commander Du Yuming in October 1948 . In spite of Wei ' s earlier success , his tenure in the northeast was remarkably unsuccessful . He defied orders for more than a year to withdraw , and lost 300 , 000 troops . Taylor ( 2009 ) writes that " Of those , " 246 , 000 were captured , and many if not most were quickly incorporated into the PLA " ( p . 389 ) . Chiang ordered Wei ' s house arrest . Wei made his way to Hong Kong in 1949 , and moved to Beijing in 1955 , where he would " participate in various organizations of the People ' s Republic " ( Taylor , 2009 , p . 389 ) . He would live in the PRC until his death in 1960 .
Taffy Williams Hugh " Taffy " Williams was a professional soldier of fortune who served in the Congo with Mike Hoare and 5 Commando Congo as well as a Major in Biafra . Born in Wales , he grew up and received his military training in South Africa . Biafran War . Noted for his bravery under fire he served two tours of duty with the Biafran Army , rising to the rank of Major and was the last white mercenary to leave the country as secession ended . Williams found his Biafran troops to be completely different from those who he commanded in Katanga . " I ' ve seen a lot of Africans at war " he was quoted as saying . " But there ' s nobody to touch these people . Give me 10 , 000 Biafrans for six months , and we ' ll build an army that would be invincible on this continent . I ' ve seen men die in this war who would have won the Victoria Cross in another context " . Williams was assigned one hundred Biafran fighters in early 1968 , and managed to keep two battalions of Chadian mercenaries serving with the Nigerian Federal Army at bay for twelve weeks with only antiquated weapons . After Williams redeployed his forces in early April , the Chadians forded the Cross River at two locations , and captured Afikpo , a main town on the western side . Completing his first contract and following a brief stay in the UK , Williams returned to Biafra on 7 July 1968 . He was assigned to the 4th Commando Brigade led by Lt . Col Rolf Steiner . Steiner had command of 3000 men , and was assigned to the area around the Enugu - Onitsha road . Williams , who liked to joke that he was " half - mad " , would personally lead his troops into battle , sometimes standing in a hail of Federal gunfire , just to prove to his troops that he was indeed " bullet - proof " . His resolve under fire would often unnerve the more superstitious of Nigerian soldiers and serve to rally his own . On 24 August 1968 Williams was drawn into a critical battle of the conflict . At this point , he had 1000 soldiers under his command which carried out counteroffensives against two battalion - sized enemy units attempting to cross the Imo River Bridge with Soviet military advisers . When Williams returned to Aba for additional ammunition to continue the fight , he was told that there was simply none to be had . The Nigerian Air Force had become quite successful in blocking supplies into the beleaguered state . Some of Williams ' men had only two rounds left for their rifles and many were forced to withdraw . Following the arrest and expulsion of Steiner and four others , Major Williams was allegedly the only European still left serving with the Biafran army . He left the state shortly before its collapse . It is thought that Williams , who encountered author Frederick Forsyth there as a war correspondent , served as the inspiration for the character of Carlo Shannon in Forsyth ' s " novel " .
