In the long years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in modern China, many very brave troops have emerged in our army. These armies are composed of many soldiers who bear the heavy responsibility of defending the motherland, and in them, we can see the bravery and good fighting of the Chinese, and it is precisely because of their existence that we can win the war as soon as possible and move towards the road of building a new China.
Among these brave and fearless troops, the 386 Brigade can be said to be a very prominent existence, some people call it the best brigade in China, and the Japanese hate it even more, and once said that they would fight the 386 Brigade specifically. So what exactly is so special about the 386 Brigade?
Speaking of this, we have to mention the fierce generals in the 386 Brigade, and among these fierce generals, there are four outstanding ones, and the 386 Brigade is also known as the "Four Sons" because of the existence of the four of them. So who are these "four sons"? Let's introduce the four of them.
The first place: "lame" - Chen Geng
As the core figure in the "Four Sons", Chen Geng's popularity is not low. He is one of the ten generals of our country and has made outstanding contributions in the process of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
On February 27, 1903, Chen Geng was born in Xiangxiang, Hunan. He entered the military camp at a very young age, and later was admitted to the most famous military school, namely the Whampoa Military Academy, and became a student of the military academy. After that, Chen Geng also went to the Soviet Union to study, and participated in the Nanchang Uprising shortly after returning to China. Since then, Chen Geng has been following the party's left and right and devoting himself to revolutionary work.
The reason why Chen Geng is called "lame" is because Chen Geng's two legs were injured during the battle, and the sequelae left by this are often **. Chen Geng's good partner Wang Xinting gave him the nickname "lame", which can be regarded as a kind of ridicule and relief for this matter.
Second place: "Blind" - Wang Xinting
As mentioned above, Wang Xinting was Chen Geng's partner, Chen Geng was the brigade commander of the 386 Brigade at that time, and Wang Xinting was the political commissar of the 386 Brigade. Wang Xinting was born on December 23, 1908, in Xiaogan County, Hubei.
At the age of 18, he began to take part in revolutionary work, actively participated in the workers' movement, and later officially joined our party, and gradually grew into an outstanding general in the party. He also made many contributions during the years of the Anti-Japanese War, and was awarded the rank of general after the founding of the country.
Wang Xinting ridiculed Chen Geng as a "cripple", Chen Geng based on the principle of you coming and going, and later gave Wang Xinting a nickname "blind", because Wang Xinting is highly myopic and can't see anything clearly without his eyes, so we can also see the good relationship between the two of them.
Third place: "madman" - Wang Jinshan
After Chen Geng, Wang Jinshan took over the position of commander of Chen Geng's 386 Brigade. Before that, Wang Jinshan was a regiment leader under Chen Geng. He has a delicate appearance, but on the battlefield, he shows far more courage than ordinary people, which can be described as a great contrast.
On October 29, 1915, Wang Jinshan was born in Huang'an County, Hubei Province. He chose to join the ranks of the Red Army at the age of 15, and then fought all the way, not only improving his military quality, but also improving his cultural literacy in his studies.
Due to his many "tough guy" performances on the battlefield, Wang Jinshan later got the nickname of "madman", from this nickname, we can see his "madness" on the battlefield. For this nickname, Wang Jinshan gladly accepted it, and later became a lieutenant general of our country.
Fourth place: "thin man" - Zhou Xihan
Like Wang Jinshan, Zhou Xihan is also Chen Geng's subordinate, and it can even be said that Zhou Xihan has become Chen Geng's most important general with his outstanding ability, and served as the chief of staff of the 386 Brigade. On August 27, 1913, Zhou Xihan was born in Macheng, Hubei. He also joined the ranks of the Red Army at the age of 15 and has since fought all the way to live a very different life.
Because he is deeply used by Chen Geng, and is very loyal and grateful to Chen Geng, Zhou Xihan has always followed Chen Geng, and because he is very thin, he is called "thin man". After the founding of New China, Zhou Xihan, like Wang Jinshan, was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and became the founding lieutenant general of our country.
