$begingroup$
I am trying to prove the following.
let $G$ be a finitely generated abelian group, and $H<G$ a subgroup such that there exists a subgroup $K<G$ and we can write $G=H oplus K$. Is it true that the minimal number of generators of H is strictly smaller than the minimal number of generators of $G$?
Clearly if G can not be written as a direct summand of $H$ then this is not true, just consider $G= mathbb{Z}$ and $H=2mathbb{Z}$.
I would like to prove it because I believe it can provide a simpler proof for the characterization of finitely generated abelian groups.

Worth noting: "number of generators" is not well defined. I'm guessing you mean "minimal number of generators", but you should say so,

No, it is not true. Consider $mathbb{Z}_2oplusmathbb{Z}_3$. This has a generator $(1,1)$. Note that
$$0oplusmathbb{Z}_3<mathbb{Z}_2oplusmathbb{Z}_3 ,$$
and
$$(mathbb{Z}_2oplus 0)oplus(0oplusmathbb{Z_3})=mathbb{Z}_2oplusmathbb{Z}_3.$$
However, $0oplusmathbb{Z}_3$ is generated by $(0,1).$
