Ho (He Zhuguo) commanded 15 Army Group in central China
during most of the Pacific War, participating in the second battle of Changsha and the defence against the Japanese To-go offensive. He may have been the English-speaking aide of Hsueh Yueh mentioned by Dorn (1974.) His
2 Cavalry Army had fought against the Japanese in north China from the
earliest days of the China Incident. He had supported Chang Hsueh-liang
during the Sian Incident, when Chiang Kai-shek was forced to establish a nominal truce with the Chinese Communists in order to fight the Japanese, and seems to have continued to mediate between the Communists and the Kuomintang. A graduate of the Paoting Military Academy, he had also trained in cavalry tactics in Japan, and seems to have been one of the more capable generals to lead Kuominang forces.
