The three-foot frost blade was frightened and made a common noise to people;
In the world, there are only few true transmissions, and the righteous qi who bears the name of the general.

November, 1904. Frosty days.
The sky was not yet bright, in the Lianxi community of Renquan Township (now Hongxiang Township) in Wuwei County, Anhui Province, even the roosters had not yet begun to crow, and there was not even a person on a small road in the village, and a layer of thick frost fell on the grass all the way, like white powder on the noodles of eating.
The road is lined with some bare leaves of willows, and the bare branches holding up to the sky are full of frost flowers as white as snow. The slick breeze, with its bitter cold, slid over the dead branches and whimpered.
The gray clouds in the sky screamed that they wanted to burn up the morning glow, gray and red with purple, it was like dripping blood.
This morning the Dai family was busy all night, because Mrs. Dai was going to give birth, and although the Dai family was not a family of great wealth and nobility, it was a farmer who had been cultivating and reading for generations.
As the sun rose, a baby's cry made the Dai family's heart go down seven times and eight times, so they named the child Dai Bingyang, the word Yangong, called himself a seagull, and later changed his name to Dai Anlan.
Dai Bingyang's grandfather Dai Changgan was a gongsheng during the Qing Dynasty, and his father Dai Liming studied in the family farm, so Dai Anlan began to read and learn characters at a very young age under the guidance of his grandfather.
In 1918, Zhou Shaofeng, a famous writer of the "Tongcheng School" Wanqing, opened a school in Fenghe Village at the invitation of the Dai family, and Dai Bingyang went to study, Mr. Zhou Was a very strict teacher, and Dai Bingyang was also very hardworking, so he was quite popular with Elder Zhou.

Immediately, Dai Bingyang went to Guangzhou to apply for a military academy, but because he was too thin to be admitted, Dai Bingyang defected to the National Revolutionary Army as a second-class soldier.
In the army, he trained hard, actively exercised, and his body quickly grew strong, and when he saw that the motherland was in danger, he was very sad in his heart, and in order to express his town's frenzy in the wilderness, to save the giant lan in the fall, and to swear to die to revitalize China's Lingyun ambition, he officially changed his name to "An Lan".
At the end of 1924, Dai Anlan entered the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, during which dai Anlan was influenced not only by Sun Yat-sen, but also by Zhou Enlai and others.
In 1926, Dai Anlan graduated from the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and successively served as a platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander and regiment commander of the Kuomintang army. In the same year, he participated in the Northern Expedition.

On March 8, Dai Anlan was ordered to go to Gubeikou for reinforcements.
On March 10, the Japanese launched an attack on Gubeikou, and aircraft and artillery took turns to bomb, but Dai Anlan led the fighters to kill the enemy with fewer enemies and more enemies.

In this battle, Dai Anlan was also injured, and he was awarded the Order of the Cloud of the Fifth Class for his military merits.
In 1938, the Battle of Taierzhuang broke out, and Dai Anlan, who had been promoted to brigade commander, engaged in a deadly battle with the Japanese army, and after a bitter battle, at the end of March, the Japanese army in Taierzhuang was surrounded by regiments.

Subsequently, he returned to Taierzhuang to assist in the battle, he refused to defend the fortress, attacked Taodun by fire, wisely captured Zhuzhuang, fought fiercely against Guo Liji, and won many battles, making great contributions to the victory of the entire battle.
At the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army attacked the Aishan position, and Dai Anlan commanded the 73rd Brigade to fight hard, repelling 36 enemy attacks in four days and four nights.
The Japanese attack was fruitless, and it was broadcast on the radio: "The Chinese army has a Russian commander!" In fact, it was because At this time, Dai Anlan's figure was already very tall and burly, and he had a good command, and the troops fought bravely, which led to a misunderstanding by the Japanese military.

On January 5, 1939, Dai Anlan was promoted to the commander of the 200th Division, succeeding Du Yuming at the age of 35.
The division was the backbone of the newly built Fifth Army and claimed to be the first and only mechanized division of the Chinese army.

In December 1939, the Japanese army occupied Kunlun Pass.
China had reached a critical moment of survival, and Chiang Kai-shek decided to fight back, with the goal of "attacking Kunlun Pass and then recovering Nanning." At this time, Old Jiang took out the 200 divisions that he had been reluctant to use.
On December 16, Du Yuming, commander of the Fifth Army, arranged a tough battle against Kunlun Pass and formulated the encirclement and total annihilation tactic of "closing the door and fighting the tiger".
Dai Anlan's 200th Division and Zheng Dongguo's Honorary 1st Division attacked Kunlun Pass head-on.
The Japanese defenders of Kunlun Pass were the Fifth Division, known as the "Steel Army", and the old division of Banheng Seishiro, an army that had long been trained in Bushido and had rich experience in attack and defense.
In the early morning of December 18. The counter-offensive battle began.
The first was artillery combat, where the fifth army's long-range artillery attacks suppressed enemy fire.
The 200th Division, under the cover of artillery superiority, began to attack the enemy's position, and countless flames sprang up in the enemy's position one after another, spreading in a flash, and the flames were candlelit.
A moon like an ice disk in mid-air was also dim at the moment, and the battle lasted for a day, and the 200th Division and the RongYi Division captured several high ground near Kunlun Pass.
The 200th Division commanded by Dai Anlan occupied two heights, 653 and 600, and under the cover of chariots, the commander of the 200th Division drove straight in, breaking through the bamboo and taking Kunlun Pass in one fell swoop.
December 19, morning.
The Japanese army dispatched planes to bomb wildly, and the 21st Wing of the 21st Brigade Regiment, led by Wing Commander Yoshinosuke Daisa, pounced like a sea of mountains, and Kunlun was lost and fell into the hands of the enemy.
On 23 and 24 December, the Nationalists suffered more than 2,000 casualties during the frontal offensive, and the Japanese suffered more than 1,000 casualties.
The Fortifications of the Japanese Army were very strong, which made the attack of the Chinese army very difficult, and the battle was very fierce.
Faced with such a difficult bone, Dai Anlan personally led two regiments, using large knives, shovels and flesh and blood, to cut grass all the way and cut the barbed wire laid by the enemy.
Hundreds of mighty men, under the starlight of the fire, raised their guns and shot, wielded their swords to intercept and kill, and launched a fierce attack on the first position of the last gate of kunlun mountain.
These warriors, all selected soldiers, after another baptism of war, each of them was tall and fierce, and the mighty and brave finally conquered the first height of the boundary on the morning of December 29, killing Masao Nakamura.
On December 31, while cleaning up the battlefield, the Chinese army found a diary on the body of Masao Nakamura, and the brigade commander wrote before his death: "The reason why the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Imperial Army had the title of 'Steel Army' in the Russo-Japanese War was because my tenacity defeated the tenacity of the Russians." But, at Kunlun Pass I should confess that I met an army more tenacious than the Russian army."
Dai Anlan was awarded the Fourth Grade Blue Sky and White Sun Baoding Medal for his outstanding achievements in the Battle of Kunlun Pass for his command of the 200th Division.

In March 1942, Dai Anlan led his troops to Burma to participate in the Expeditionary Force's War of Resistance.
The 200th Division, as the vanguard, entered Lashio from the border town of Wacho, and on the 7th, the lone army reached Tonggu.
Tonggu was located in the fortress of the Yangon Northbound Railway, and its geographical location was very important, and Dai Anlan was ordered to stick to Tonggu for ten days.
At dawn on the 19th, more than 200 people of the search force of the Japanese 55th Division rode motorcycles into the 200th ambush area, and Dai Anlan commanded the troops, blew up the bridge to block the enemy's retreat, and led the fighters to attack fiercely, annihilating more than 200 enemies, so that the Japanese army suffered huge losses for the first time after driving straight into Burma.
On the 20th, the Defense War of Tonggu began.
In the face of the well-equipped, ground-air coordination advantage, and the menacing Japanese army, Dai Anlan led all the officers and men of the 200th Division to hold their positions and bravely fight back, although it was a lone battle, but Dai Anlan was determined to resist to the end, and he personally took the lead in making a will.
The 200th Division, led by Dai Anlan, used the combination of infantry and motorcycle soldiers to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
However, the Japanese attack was very fierce, in the face of huge casualties, and the destruction of the fortifications, Dai Anlan commanded the generals to use the ruins and broken walls, bomb pits to continue to resist, he also used the 100-meter dueling technique, and when the enemy was only 50 meters near, he jumped out of the trench, or used grenades to concentrate on throwing, or using bayonets for hand-to-hand combat.
Before the soldiers of the 200th Division could strike, there was a momentum that forced them to rush past, and the Japanese army first fought with courage and fled, abandoning their weapons; later, they fought hand-to-hand combat.
However, Dai Anlan did not retreat, but killed more and more on the position, killing more than twenty Japanese troops at the snap of his fingers, and surrounded him on top of each other.
Dai Anlan's knife came out like the wind, faster than the lightning, every time the knife passed, there was always an enemy screaming and falling, as long as anyone stepped within five feet of the surroundings, he would surely splash blood and fall, full of bones and bones, and there was a pool of blood everywhere. Such fierce battles were in full swing, and the number of Japanese troops increased unabated, making people feel that they could not be killed.
This fierce bloody battle seemed to be endless, and Dai Anlan stood in the encirclement like a stone statue, covered with the blood of the enemy's upper body. The Japanese troops around them were all staring at each other like bells, but they did not dare to step forward, and Dai Anlan knew that the enemy was already depressed and frightened.
Dai Anlan only mentioned gathering energy at the moment, and then he shouted, "Brothers! kill! Hack the little devil! ”
The sound was heard far away, and the whole army heard it. Many of the athletes who had fallen into the pool of blood heard his voice and jumped up to continue the battle. This is exactly the call of the arm, the trauma and disease are all arising, and the scene is tragic and magnificent, which is rare in ancient and modern times! The more powerful Dai Anlan became, the more the Japanese army dared not attack.
The Defense Battle of Tonggu lasted 10 days, and the 200th Division fought against the enemy with high morale and at the cost of sacrificing 800 people, repelled more than 20 Japanese charges, annihilated more than 5,000 enemy troops, captured more than 400 enemy troops, inflicted heavy damage on the enemy, and played a national prestige.
On March 29, 1942, Dai Anlan led the 200th Division to break through the siege, and by the early morning of the next day, most of the Chinese defenders crossed the Xitang River and jumped out of the Japanese encirclement.
Dai Anlan won the first victory of going abroad to participate in the war, and in the Battle of Tonggu, the Japanese army only won an empty city.
After the battle, Dai Anlan was attacked by the enemy during the retreat and was seriously wounded. Due to the complex terrain and continuous rain in northern Myanmar, Dai Anlan finally suffered from a lack of medical treatment, his wounds were purulent and ulcerated, and he was martyred at the age of 38 in Maobang Village, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from the motherland in northern Myanmar.
