Лі Тянью (КНР) / Li, Tianyou (People’s Republic of China № 13, 1 тур
Li Tianyou (Chinese: 李天佑; Wade–Giles: Li T'ien-yu; 1914–1970) was a general (shang jiang) of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He led Communist forces to victory during the Battle of Siping. He was Lin Biao's chief of staff during the Chinese Civil War. Earlier in the war, he earned a reputation as a reckless military leader due to his intentional sacrifice of his entire division during the Long March, even though that bought more time for the Communist forces to retreat from the pursuing KMT forces. During the Korean War, he commanded the PVA 13th Army which defeated the UN forces in northwestern Korea.
