After the sacrifice of the patriotic general Dai Anlan, what happened to the three regimental commanders under him?
In the spring of 1942, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the people along the way, the soldiers of the 200th Division of the Chinese 5th Army boarded their chariots, marched westward, and embarked on the exotic land of Burma, thus beginning a period of hardship and hardship of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
The predecessor of the 200th Division was a tank battalion in 1936 when the Nationalist army first built a mechanized unit;
After the start of the All-out War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, the tank battalion was expanded into an armored regiment, with Du Yuming as its regimental commander;
In the spring of 1938, in Xiangtan, Hunan, it was expanded into the 200th Division, which was organized into two tank regiments and two motorized infantry regiments, with Du Yuming as the first division commander of the 200th Division, and soviet military advisers to help train;
In January 1939, with the 200th Division as the backbone, it was expanded into the 5th Army, With Du Yuming promoted to commander and Dai Anlan becoming the commander of the 200th Division of the 5th Army, China's first mechanized division.
The 200th Division had three regiments under its command, namely the 598th Regiment, the 599th Regiment, and the 600th Regiment. In the process of retreating back to China, the 200th Division was surrounded by Japanese troops, and it was in this battle that General Dai Anlan was wounded and killed. So what happened to his regimental commanders?

Zheng Tingdi is a graduate of the fifth batch of Huangpu, a native of Wenchang, Guangdong, who has always been known for his bravery in fighting. After the death of General Dai Anlan, he served as a temporary commander and led the 200th Division to break out of the Japanese encirclement, which made him famous in the first battle. He later served as a lieutenant general in the Kuomintang 49th Army, and was captured in october 1948 at the Liaoshen Campaign.
After 10 years at the Fushun War Criminals Management Center, he became one of the first war criminals to be pardoned. Before going to prison, he and his wife Feng Lijuan divorced, and after they were released from prison, under the care of Zhou Gong, the two broke the mirror and reunited.

After the "Battle of Kunlun Mountain", Liu Shuren was promoted to the commander of the 599th Regiment of the 200th Division.
At dusk on May 18, 1942, the 200 Division, which had previously arrived in the Lango area, fought a fierce battle with the Japanese troops occupying the area in order to open the Mogu-Hoso road back to China, and the battle was relatively smooth at first, but the Japanese motorized troops came to support the way and put our army at a disadvantage. The expeditionary officers were unfortunately surrounded by Japanese armored vehicles, including division commander Dai Anlan and 599 regiment commander Liu Shuren, all fell into the enemy's fierce fire net, and the situation was extremely critical.
In order to defend the division headquarters, The Willow Man led his 599th Regiment to cooperate with the 600 regiment to resist desperately, and the two sides killed corpses and rivers of blood. The battle became more and more intense, and the war situation was full of surprises. During the melee, General Dai Anlan was shot in the waist and seriously injured.
Seeing the truth in the tribulation, Willow took the lead as always to protect the wounded division commander, braving the tongue of fire spat out by the enemy machine gun to rush to kill until he was shot and martyred.
