Regarding the revolutionary years in modern times, we have heard more heroic stories and seen more indelible legendary lives. But during the war, not all the meritorious people were also people with complete merit, and some people were controversial in the early years, but they made the right choice in the face of major right and wrong, which also deserves our respect, Fan Shaozeng is a typical example, he is called "Silly Commander", the story was also made as a prototype into the TV series "Silly Division Commander", but as an anti-Japanese general, he is actually not stupid at all.
Fan Shaozeng's family background is quite good, and the family business handed down from his ancestors is very solid. But in Fan Shaozeng's generation, the family members were a little worried, because he had been an out-and-out loser since he was a child. Besides, the educational conditions that he received since he was born in such a family were certainly not bad, but Fan Shaozeng's cleverness and vigor had never been on the right path, and he took the children in the village every day to mess around, making the whole village restless.
Fan Shaozeng has liked to "pull gangs and factions" since he was a child, and he enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by a group of brothers. As he got older, he made more and more friends, but unfortunately most of these people were inconsistent and never had a positive impact on him. Fan Shaozeng's favorite thing to do is to run to a teahouse to listen to people talk about books, and every time he hears a story like "Water Margin", he is very yearning for that kind of life.
Later, Fan Shaozeng clashed with the mayor's son in the casino and was beaten up. As a result, after returning home and telling his father, his father not only did not stand up for him, but scolded him. Fan Shaozeng ran away from home directly in a fit of anger, and wanted to start "breaking into the rivers and lakes", when he took a fancy to the Sichuan gang "Brother Robe" at a glance and directly chose to join the gang. As a result, after spending some time here, he found that this was completely different from the thrilling life told by the storyteller, and it was completely a group of small who did not hesitate to mix up all day.
Fan Shaozeng stayed in the gang for a while, frowning every day, thinking about how to find his own development opportunities. As a result, one day, he saw a weak woman being bullied by a group of hooligans on the street, and immediately came forward to help, and when he beat the hooligans, he asked, this was the daughter of Yan Deji, the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army who was crusading against Yuan Shikai's team.
After Yan Deji heard about this, he was naturally very satisfied with Fan Shaozeng's behavior, and heard that Fan Shaozeng wanted to do something "big", so he simply promoted him to his own army and made him a battalion commander. In this way, Fan Shaozeng came and went, dreaming of having his own small army. Later, Yan Deji assisted Tang Jiyao and Xiong Kewu in the war, but Fan Shaozeng fought on the front line but lost because of the lone army, and returned to Yunnan after defeat. The battle between the two sides was fought, Yan Deji's troops were actually scattered, and he also joined Xiong Kewu's Sichuan army, and Fan Shaozeng also became a regimental commander under Xiong Kewu.
It was when He was working under Xiong Kewu that Fan Shaozeng met his nobleman Liu Bocheng, which can be said to be the beginning of his transformation from a miscellaneous army into a regular armed force with strong combat effectiveness. At that time, Liu Bocheng was also serving as the regimental commander of Xiong Kewu's troops, and the two sides got acquainted because of the reception of the defensive zone, and Liu Bocheng was very appreciative of the combat effectiveness of Fan Shaozeng's soldiers, but at the same time reminded him that if he did not rectify the military discipline under his command, the troops would absolutely not be able to go long.
Fan Shaozeng asked Liu Bocheng to show him a clear path, and Liu Bocheng introduced Luo Juntong to him, and after Luo Juntong and Fan Shaozeng got on a relationship, they helped him straighten out military discipline, govern the army according to law, and build a strong brigade into a strong army that was originally loose and collapsed and relied on smoking large cigarettes to enhance combat effectiveness. At the same time, under the influence of Liu Bocheng and others, he began to realize the importance of popular support, so he led his troops to compensate the people they had harmed and helped them build their hometown. This allowed him to build an independent army later, and when he left Xiong Kewu's troops, he received the support of many people.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fan Shaozeng, as a local unit, was also ordered to lead the Sichuan Army to resist the Japanese army, which can be said to be the highlight of his military career. After the Japanese invaders invaded the motherland, many Chinese people's homes were destroyed and they had to leave their homes. Fan Shaozeng's hatred for them was indescribable, and he went to Chongqing to ask Premier Zhou how to fight against Japan, and Premier Zhou told him that you should let his soldiers understand what they were fighting for.
So Fan Shaozeng held a mobilization meeting before the expedition, and he said to his soldiers: "The purpose of the expedition was to seize territory, but this expedition is for our country, for the sake of our people, and it is Japanese imperialism that we must fight to the end." Under his encouragement, the Sichuan army fought bravely, clashed with the Japanese army many times, and fought to the end each time, making outstanding achievements.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist government tried to win Fan Shaozeng over, but he had long realized the corruption and incompetence of the other side, and after politely refusing, he had been secretly providing help to our party's underground organization in the name of doing business. Later, the uprising was directly announced, and together with our army, the Great Southwest region was pacified.
After the founding of New China, he was appointed as a member of the Central And southern military and political committee for his contributions. With the advent of the peacetime, he threw himself into the construction of sports in our country, and also became the deputy director of the Henan Provincial Sports Committee and was elected as a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress. Although this outstanding general, who was called "Stupid Commander," although he had a personal moral loss in his youth, after being pointed out by others, he clearly understood the major right and wrong, and became an outstanding talent who had made contributions to the country, and could be regarded as a hero of the revolution.
