When it comes to **, we always think of years of war, corruption** and suffering people.
It was a chaotic and turbulent time, and the wheels of history rolled forward, crushing countless people under the wheels and throwing countless people to high places, making people believe that the darkness and light of the world have their own unique meanings. We can see the land of China through the cracks of time, and their complex and magnificent lives have brought new insights to many people.
** He has always been an important general of our party, and has led our party to many victories for the army and the people.
However, he encountered a Waterloo in his life, that is, the Kuomintang army successfully defeated an army of 100,000 with 10,000 or 20,000 elite soldiers.
Who can defeat **, and who has successfully written such a legend of winning more with less, this is Chen Mingren, who dared to openly contradict Chiang Kai-shek and was named the founding general after the founding of the country.
What kind of twists and turns and bizarre story did Chen Mingren have in his life, and how did he come to our party from the Kuomintang army and become a tiger general in the construction of New China?
He used 20,000 men to defeat the **100,000 army in the northeast, and he dared to confront Chiang Kai-shek in person, but he was made a general after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This general with legendary life experience is Chen Mingren, a graduate of the first phase of Huangpu, a patriotic general who was born in a peasant family and accelerated the process of national liberation for the sake of national righteousnessHe was a young general who followed Chiang Kai-shek, born in Liling, Hunan Province in 1903. His parents were farmers in the village, and although the family lived in poverty, they were also very happy.
At the age of 21, he entered the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and became a student of Chiang Kai-shek.
He longed for an opportunity to play his strengths on the battlefield, and at this time, Chen Mingren, who had just graduated, met Chen Jiongming of the Guangdong Revolutionary Expedition, and he resolutely joined the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade, and ushered in a turning point in his life when he attacked Huizhou City in 1925.
The list of 645 cadets in the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, these ten Kuomintang and Communist generals are the most famousAt that time, Huizhou City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how many times the assault regiment had failed to break through, and finally under the condition that the regiment commander also died, Chen Mingren, the 22-year-old captain of the death squad, rushed directly to the forefront of the team, not afraid of the rain of bullets, still bravely killed the enemy, and entered Huizhou City alone.
His glorious deeds soon spread throughout the army, and when he planted the blue sky and white sun flag on the castle tower, everyone felt incredible, and could not imagine that it was oneA record that a 22-year-old can achieveLater, the army defending the city chose to disarm and surrender after seeing the menacing Kuomintang army.
When *** and Chiang Kai-shek saw this scene, they couldn't help but be shocked, who is this outstanding talent?
Chiang Kai-shek was also eager to know who this young man who was the first to plant the Kuomintang military flag on the city of Huizhou
When the instructor next door replied that this was Chen Mingren of the Whampoa Military Academy, Chiang Kai-shek made up his mind to win him over, and later at the celebration banquet, Chiang Kai-shek commended Chen Mingren and commended him for his behavior, but Chen Mingren did not become arrogant because of this, but became more and more courageous.
Originally, Chen Mingren could have a broader space for development, but his personality was too stubborn, and he was eventually excluded by others in the army.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen MingrenChen Mingren is not a person who likes to deal with people, he likes to be alone, and because of this, in the Kuomintang, he has never been able to integrate this clear stream, and finally he was forced to study.
He has participated in several military training regiments and has been given many opportunities to learn
In November 1939, the Japanese entered many cities on the border between Guangxi and Vietnam.
At this time, Chen Mingren directly raised troops** and successfully annihilated thousands of Japanese, which also greatly boosted morale.
By 1940, the Japanese army sent three divisions to attack the Guangxi region, not only taking Qinzhou and Fangchenggang, but also taking the Nanning area and conquering the highway in the Guilin area, while the Japanese continued to clamp the Kunlun Pass fortress and wanted to cut off the communication links between Guangxi, Hunan and Guizhou.
Kunlun Pass is a very easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and the Japanese wanted to take it with their elite troops, but they didn't want this army to end up in the hands of Chen Mingren.
At that time, it was Du Yuming who was fighting against the Japanese, and Du Yuming knew that he could no longer stop the Japanese offensive, so he hurriedly asked Chiang Kai-shek for someone, and Chiang Kai-shek thought of Chen Mingren, who was thousands of miles away, so he transferred him over.
After receiving the order, Chen Mingren came to the vicinity of Kunlun Pass day and night, and successfully repelled more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, not only guarding Kunlun Pass, but also becoming a famous border general.
But what is it that such an excellent talent would work against Chiang Kai-shek?It turned out that in the winter of 1941, Chiang Kai-shek inspected the Kunlun area.
Seeing the soldiers building fortifications and asking them why the quality of the clothes of the soldiers in these units was so poor, Chen Mingren directly said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Your clothes are issued once every two years, and the soldiers have clothes to wear, but you still dislike them for being dirty and torn?"”
Chiang Kai-shek was furious after hearing this, and said that he would lock up Chen Mingren and let him reflect on it
Chiang Kai-shek looked at Chen Mingren, who was so persistent, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he asked him to go back and reflect on himself, in fact, Chiang Kai-shek just wanted to scare and scare Chen Mingren.
He didn't really intend to lock up Chen Mingren, after all, Chen Mingren is indeed a tiger general who fights very fiercely, and there are few soldiers at Chiang Kai-shek's hands who can be as good as him, if Chiang Kai-shek is so angry and left, Chiang Kai-shek will be very remorseful.
Chiang Kai-shek saw that he couldn't make Chen Mingren obediently succumb, so he could only go with him, but Chiang Kai-shek liked to play some shady tricks, and after transferring Chen Mingren's official position, he deliberately hollowed out his power, wanting to suppress Chen Mingren.
It's just that Chiang Kai-shek's approach did not completely dispel Chen Mingren's spirit, and after the outbreak of the Kuomintang-Communist War, the two sides fought one melee after another for the northeast region.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Mingren participated in the Battle of Jiujiang, the Battle of Kunlun Pass and the later Yunnan-Burma Campaign, all of which achieved great results, and Chiang Kai-shek was relatively satisfied with his performance. So during the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek transferred him to the Northeast region to guard Siping to fight against the Northeast Field Army led by **.At this time, in order to better grasp the initiative of the war, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army began to launch an offensive and entered the stage of strategic counterattack.
* Why a non-descendant army looked at a high level of life only praised two divisions ** adopted the 12-character policy, not only successfully won Changchun, Siping and Shenyang and other important places, but also steadily transferred the northeast forces into their pockets, but the Siping campaign made ** suffer a dumb loss, Siping was the location of Liaobei Province at that time, and the traffic location was very significant.
In June 1947, ** led an army of 100,000 to prepare to capture Siping, and at this time it was Chen Mingren who was in Siping, and the two were also alumni of the Whampoa Military Academy, and now it seems that they are also going to see the difference on the battlefield.
From the point of view of numbers, ** is an absolute advantage, he has 100,000 Northeast Democratic Alliance troops, but Chen Mingren is only more than 20,000 people, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, **'s army is brave and good at fighting, and the Northeast region is their home field, but this battle is unexpected, the battle between Chen Mingren and him is very tragic.
The number of casualties in Chen Mingren's troops was as high as 80%, and there were only four company commanders left in the ten companies, and the battle between the two sides was also very thrilling.
He told himself that if he missed, he would shoot himself directly in order to show his loyalty to the Kuomintang, but what people didn't expect was that after the war went on until the end of June, because the ** army had not been able to capture Siping, everyone finally chose to retreat.
Chen Mingren defeated the 100,000 army with his own 20,000 troops, and when Chiang Kai-shek learned about it, he was so happy that he slapped his thigh, thinking that this was simply an incredible miracle, and even held a commendation meeting to praise Chen Mingren's bravery.
Looking at Chen Mingren, who had made great contributions, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to reward him, but at this time, the United States put pressure on him, which made Chiang Kai-shek very embarrassed, and Chen Cheng was also next to Chiang Kai-shek and said that Chen Mingren still needed to be beaten.His invincible heroic record on the battlefield should be reused, but Chiang Kai-shek treated him as an idle person, how could he tolerate such embarrassment, so he also began to think about leaving Chiang Kai-shek, and he couldn't let Chiang Kai-shek toss himself like this again. Chen Mingren, who was really angry, told the soldiers who had followed him that he was going to leave, and finally at the suggestion of everyone, he left the northeast and came to Wuhan to take up his post, and later became the deputy commander-in-chief of Central China and the commander of the Wuhan garrison area, and concurrently served as the commander of the 29th Army.When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he felt that it was more reasonable, so he removed Chen Mingren from his post and made him a lieutenant general of the ** government to join the army, which was simply a great shame for Chen Mingren.
Chen Mingren, who had just arrived in Wuhan, heard that Chiang Kai-shek was going to mix his army with other people's troops, and that he would give him a relatively high rank this time, so he was willing to continue to stay in the Wuhan area.
It's just that in June 1949, ** once again led the People's Liberation Army to besiege several cities where Chen Mingren's army was stationed, at this time Chen Mingren knew that maybe he was no longer as lucky as he was at the beginning, and he could not still defeat ** in the current situation, so he had other ideas.
Rather than let the common people suffer, it is better to choose to release the past suspicions and liberate Changsha, Chen Mingren, who has such an idea, began to contact the underground party members, and finally Chen Mingren helped our party successfully liberate the Changsha area without spending a single soldier.
The banner of the uprising raised by Chen Mingren was also praised by the comrades of *** and ***, who met with Chen Mingren successively, and also praised Chen Mingren for commanding the battle and leading well, even ** could not compare to him.
In 1955, Chen Mingren, who had fought for the motherland all his life, was awarded the rank of general, for Chen Mingren, this military rank represented the country's trust in him, and throughout his life, he never forgot his determination to serve the motherland.Later, Chen Mingren successfully joined the Communist Party of China and held important positions in the army, and was awarded the rank of general in 1955, and became one of the founding generals of our country.
Chen Mingren was originally a general of the Kuomintang, but later succeeded in standing out of the encirclement with his outstanding performance in our army.
Our army succeeded in liberating Changsha without a single soldier, and also accelerated the process of China's liberation. During Chen Mingren's life, he was an outstanding general under Chiang Kai-shek, and he also fought bloodily by Chiang Kai-shek's side for many years.
Liberation of ChangshaDuring the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he also made a lot of military exploits and was a very good patriotic general. When he saw the decay of the Kuomintang and the corruption of the army, he did not choose to continue to aid and abuse, but chose to bravely abandon the Kuomintang army and throw himself into the arms of the Communist Party to do better land for the people.
From this point of view, Chen Mingren is a very respectable general, and after the founding of New China, Chen Mingren also joined the army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, making a significant contribution to eradicating the pressure of bandits in Guangxi.
General Chen Mingren died in Beijing in May 1974 at the age of 71, having spent most of his life in the Kuomintang army.
Commemorative for posterityIt is undeniable that he is an upright person, and when facing Chiang Kai-shek, he dares to speak out, because he knows that he is working for the welfare of the soldiers, rather than simply throwing Chiang Kai-shek in the face, and it is precisely because he has enough confidence that he can have a certain prestige and prestige in the army.
Those generals who once followed Chen Mingren were willing to follow him and sacrifice their lives and forget their lives, just because Chen Mingren himself was a person who knew how to lead by example and charge into battle. He was invincible on the battlefield, setting an example for his army and showing his different demeanor.
Liberation War Chen MingrenConclusion:
Chen Mingren has always hoped to serve the motherland, but at first the path he chose was not so correct, and later he also found that his choice was wrong and quickly reversed. We should still affirm such comrades.
Throughout his life, Chen Mingren has worked hard to contribute to the cause of our party, and has provided our party with a very valuable combat plan, and has also set an example of patriotism for more people.
Chen Mingren is an outstanding patriotic general, and he is also a revolutionary martyr worthy of everyone's respect, and his glorious deeds deserve everyone's praise and applause from every one of us.
