In 1955, at the award ceremony, when Chen Geng was awarded the medal, he made a joke with Chen Geng: "It's better to do it with me than to follow Chiang Kai-shek, right?"I don't think Chiang Kai-shek will give you a general!In fact, there is a background here, Chen Geng was known as one of the "Whampoa Three Heroes" at the time, when he was at the Whampoa Military Academy, Chen Geng was appreciated by the principal Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Geng and Chiang Kai-shek had an extraordinary relationship, Chen Geng had twice saved Chiang Kai-shek on the battlefield, and Chiang Kai-shek had also made it clear that he wanted to reuse and promote Chen Geng, but Chen Geng chose to leave Chiang Kai-shek, why is this?
Chiang Kai-shek. Battlefield Saves
In October 1925, the Second Eastern Crusade, the Northern Expeditionary Army was divided into three routes, Chiang Kai-shek served as the commander-in-chief, and crusaded against Chen Jiongming. In the battle, Chiang Kai-shek's third division and Chen Jiongming's subordinate Lin Hu's troops encountered, and fierce battles broke out between the two sides, but due to the disparity in strength and backward equipment, Chiang Kai-shek's third division was surrounded, and the situation was very critical, and there was a risk of annihilation of the whole army.

Seeing this, Chiang Kai-shek immediately asked Chen Geng to convey the order: no retreat, but at this time, the soldiers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the orders could not be executed, but Lin Hu's army was getting closer and closer, and when the situation was extremely urgent, Chiang Kai-shek pulled out the short sword to kill Chengren, but Chen Geng saw this and took the short sword and picked up Jiang and ran, until he ran to the river, got on the boat and crossed the river, and then he was considered to be a safe place.
Chen Geng. Jiang later sighed: "Fortunately, thanks to the spirit of the prime minister in the sky, he won by surprise and turned the crisis into safety. Although he said that he relied on the Prime Minister's spirit in the sky, he also knew that Chen Sai really saved his life.

Abandon Jiang and go to the light
There were many theories about why Chen Geng left Chiang Kai-shek, but later in the 80s, a retired Kuomintang general once said that my old squad leader (referring to Chen Geng) looked down on Chiang Kai-shek back then, and thought that Chiang Kai-shek turned on the radio to listen to the ** news in Shanghai during the interval between operational commands, and thought that Chiang was not a real revolutionary. That is to say, Chen Geng thought that Chiang was greedy for money and lustful, which was also clearly written in Chiang Kai-shek's diary how he quit sex when he was young, because Chiang Kai-shek himself was born in a family of salt sellers and was in business, which is in line with the spirit of Whampoa: "If you are promoted to become rich, please go his way;."Greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door. "It's the opposite.
Chen Geng. But Chen Geng is a revolutionary, to save the suffering, when he saw President Jiang commanding the battle, while listening to the ** in Shanghai, he knew that Jiang was not a real revolutionary, not the person he wanted to follow, so he finally abandoned Jiang and left.
Back then, Chen Geng left Chiang Kai-shek, and now the reason for leaving the job is almost the same, for example, no one to take care of his parents at home, to honor his father, etc., Chiang Kai-shek just smiled slightly after hearing it, and then approved his departure, and later Chen Geng recalled that with Chiang Kai-shek's cleverness, he couldn't hide this reason from Chiang Kai-shek, in fact, Chiang Kai-shek also knew that Chen Geng was leaving, and did not embarrass him, in 1931 Chen Geng commanded the operation in the Soviet area, unfortunately was seriously injured.

Due to the severity of his injuries, there were no local medical resources to treat his injuries, so Chen Geng was secretly sent to a hospital in Shanghai**, in fact, before arriving at the hospital, Chiang Kai-shek had already received information that Chen Geng went to the hospital, one day Chiang Kai-shek personally went to the hospital to visit Chen Geng, but was rejected by Chen Geng, Chiang Kai-shek had to give up, but instructed to treat Chen Geng with all his might, after ** , his condition improved, and left safely, in fact, if Chiang Kai-shek did not let Chen Geng go, Chen Geng would not be able to get out, and he should be grateful to Chen Geng for saving his life back then.
