Take stock of the "four sons" of the 386 Brigade, all of whom are well-known generals.
Under their leadership, the 386th Brigade became "the nightmare of the Japanese army, the honor of our army".
Chen Geng, a native of Xiangjiang, Hunan, was the founding general of New China and the helmsman of the 386th Brigade.
He was once a high-caliber student of the Huangpu Phase I, and he was already famous in the world during the Whampoa Military Academy, known as "General Chen of Ghost Talent", and was also one of the three masters of Huangpu.
At that time, the most famous thing was his pair of iron legs, and the Whampoa Military Academy had such a saying: "Jiang Xianyun's pen and He Zhihan's mouth are not as fast as Chen Geng's legs." It was with these legs that he braved the rain of bullets and bullets on the battlefield to save Old Jiang's life.
However, heaven seemed to have made a joke to him, and Chen Geng was later injured, mostly on his legs. First, he participated in the Nanchang Uprising, and unfortunately was shot in the left leg during the battle.
Although he recovered from medical treatment, he still left his sequelae, and later in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" battle, he was injured again in the leg.
Since then, it has been inconvenient to walk and need to be on crutches, so it has the name of "Lame General".
However, although there were some inconveniences in his movements, it did not affect his command of the operation.
As the helmsman of the 386th Brigade, he built the 386th Brigade into the ace unit of the 129th Division.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the team that Japan most wanted to annihilate was the 386th Brigade, which had been beaten so hard that they did not even dare to go out of the gate.
Its flexible and eerie, mysterious fighting style became a nightmare for the Japanese army, and the 386th Brigade fought the Japanese once on the Taihang Mountain.
Especially when Shentouling ambushed the Japanese army, it took only more than two hours to annihilate more than 1,500 Japanese troops, thus winning a complete victory.
Who would have thought that this was just an appetizer, and then Chen Geng commanded the team to fight in Xiangtangpu, Changle Village and other places, and always defeated the Japanese army and fled into the wilderness.
It can be said that every battle must be won, and it has gradually become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese and a thorn in the flesh.
It also shined during the Liberation War, first defeating the 13th Group of the Nationalist Army and forcing the signing of the Jinnan Armistice Agreement. Later, when Hu Zongnan's army attacked, Chen Geng calmly commanded many battles and completely annihilated his elite troops. It also launched a counter-offensive operation in southern Jinnan to accelerate the pace of regional liberation.
Then he followed Liu Deng's army into the Dabie Mountains and moved to Yu, Shaanxi, Hubei and other regions.
He also participated in the Battle of Huaihai, assisted the fraternal troops in annihilating the Kuomintang army of up to 120,000 people, and made great contributions to the establishment of New China.
After the founding of New China, external forces were eyeing the newborn republic and attempted to use Korea and Vietnam as a springboard to try to do wrong, chen geng led the team to set off again, go abroad to fight, defend the security of the republic, and highlight the national prestige of the republic.
After returning to China, he served as the president of the Plaster Military Industry Academy, making significant contributions to the development of military science and technology and the cultivation of talents in the Republic.
On March 16, 1961, General Chen Geng completed his life in Shanghai at the age of 58.
Wang Xinting, Hubei Xiao touching, founding general of new China, political commissar of the 386 Brigade.
Because of his poor eyesight, he often wears glasses, and Chen Geng often jokes with him: "Blind man beware", and the name of "blind man" will not go away.
In fact, as early as the red fourth front army withdrew from the Eyu-Anhui Soviet area, Wang Xinting did not wear glasses, but could only march on crutches. When crossing the mountain road, Wang Hongkun had told him to be careful and touch it with his hands. If it were not for this timely reminder, he would have fallen directly into the ravine.
Although he is "blind", his heart is not blind. He was a general with super political work ability and command level, and as the political commissar of the 386 Brigade, he was Chen Geng's best partner.
In the famous battles fought in the 386th Brigade, almost all of them had the shadow of Wang Xinting, such as the famous battles of Changshengkou, Shentouling, xiangtangpu, etc., all of which were achieved great victories under the mutual cooperation of Wang Xinting and Chen Geng.
In addition to providing support to Chen Geng in combat planning, he also assisted Chen Geng in rectifying military discipline on many occasions.
Under the premise of not affecting the morale of the soldiers and provoking their resistance psychology, the soldiers fully realized their problems and corrected them in time, so that the 386 Brigade had strict discipline and worked together.
It was with the military and political cooperation of Chen Geng and Wang Xinting that the 386th Brigade became an ace team that "the Japanese army is afraid and our army admires."
During the Liberation War, Wang Xinting served as the commander and political commissar of the 8th Column of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army, and led his troops to participate in the Battle of Yuncheng. After the defeat of the siege, he actively summarized the reasons for the defeat, and then finally conquered Yuncheng with the help of tunnel blasting and multi-way assault tactics, and won the victory of annihilating more than 13,000 enemy people.
Subsequently, he participated in the Battle of Linfen, and in the unfavorable situation of the initial battle, Wang Xinting promptly adjusted the main direction of attack and combat deployment. He once again adopted the tunnel blasting method, successfully took Linfen City, annihilated 27,000 enemy troops, and uprooted the last stronghold of the Nationalist army in southern Jin.
He then led his troops to participate in the Battle of Jinzhong and the Battle of Taiyuan, both of which had outstanding performances.
He then served as the commander of the 60th Army of the 18th Corps and participated in the liberation of the Great Northwest and the Great Southwest.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Xinting became the director of the Political Department of the Southwest Military Region, participating in the suppression of bandits in the southwest, eliminating the remnants of the Kuomintang, and peacefully liberating Tibet.
He died in Beijing on December 11, 1984, at the age of 76.
Zhou Xihan, a native of Macheng, Hubei Province, was a founding lieutenant general of New China and chief of staff of the 386th Brigade.
Because of its lean and lean, it has the elegant name of "thin man".
It can be said that he was Chen Geng's first confidant, and directly promoted him from a combat unit chief to the chief of staff of the 386 Brigade.
He was also one of the few generals who had followed Chen Geng after the 386 Brigade was dismantled.
Of course, he is also an uncompromising tiger general, who was once advertised by Marshal Liu Bocheng as the second "martial god Zhao Zilong".
Zhou Xihan was not only the think tank of the 386 Brigade, but also often personally led his troops to fight.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led his troops to participate in the village of Qiqi, Shentouling and southeastern Jin against the "Nine-Way Siege", etc., and the Japanese army was defeated and fled.
It is said that there was a song and ballad circulating at that time: "Little Japan, you can clearly hear, there is Chen Geng on Mount Taiyue, Little Japan, don't make trouble, let you touch Last Xihan." It can be seen that he is enough to make the Japanese Kou feel frightened.
And Zhou Xihan had covered the leader like Zhao Zilong. After the first phase of the Hundred Regiments War was launched, the Japanese army sent elite troops to retaliate. And directly approached the front of the Eighth Route Army and the location of the head organ of the Northern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, at that time there was only one guard battalion to cover, and the main position was quickly captured by the Japanese, and the situation was extremely urgent.
Just when Marshal Liu Bocheng was worried that there were no soldiers at hand, Zhou Xihan led his troops to rush to the main position to fight with the Japanese army. Block the Japanese army until night, cover the successful transfer of the head organ. Liu Shuai couldn't help but sigh when Zhou Xihan arrived: "This is good, we Zhao Zilong are coming."
During the Liberation War, Zhou Xihan performed even more brilliantly, becoming the person who killed the most general-level officers of the Nationalist Army.
According to statistics, he had killed 2 enemy lieutenant generals, captured 7 lieutenant generals, and added up to 55 major generals.
He led his troops to the task of encircling points and providing assistance in the Battle of Tongpu, and not only completely annihilated the first brigade of the reorganized 1st Division, which the enemy called "Tianxia First Brigade", in one night, but also captured the enemy lieutenant general Huang Zhengcheng alive.
In the battle to annihilate Huang Wei, he led his troops to Li Weizi, Shen Zhuang, Yang Weizi and finally Yang Wenzhuang.
Although he was unable to capture Huang Wei alive, Huang Weibu could be said to have been crushed by him.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Xihan was transferred to the Navy and was one of the leaders in the early days of the founding of the Navy. He also participated in the command of the sinking of the Kuomintang naval frigate "Taiping", the battle to liberate Yijiangshan Island and the anti-landing military exercise on the Liaodong Peninsula, devoting all his efforts to building a strong people's navy.
He died in Beijing on November 7, 1988, at the age of 75.
Wang Jinshan, a native of Hong'an, Hubei Province, was a founding lieutenant general of the People's Republic of China, deputy regimental commander of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade, commander of the 769th Regiment, and later succeeded Chen Geng as the brigade commander of the 386th Brigade.
He seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact he is very brave and fierce, always able to give the enemy a fatal blow on the battlefield. And he likes to fight with the enemy at close range, fight to the death, and even dare to roll down the cliff with the enemy. Whenever he walked down the battlefield, he was covered in blood, and there were enemies and his own, so he was called "the madman of the king".
To this end, Chen Geng also specially sent several guards to follow him, forcing Wang Jinshan to sit in the command headquarters.
It can be said that Wang Jinshan was an uncompromising anti-Japanese general, who participated in battles such as ShentouLing, Xiangtangpu, and the anti-"Nine Road Siege" in southeastern Jin.
He was also ordered to lead 5 companies of troops to ambush in the area of Qiqi Village and Jia nanyu, and at the cost of more than 10 casualties, he cleanly ambushed more than 300 heavy troops of the Japanese 20th Division, and the captured booty was enough to move for a day and a night.
Subsequently, the same technique was repeated, and for three consecutive days in the same place, annihilating more than 500 Japanese troops.
After that, he was ordered to lead 1 regiment of troops to Yan'an. While passing through the village of Hanluo in Linfen, Shanxi, he temporarily intended to fight an ambush here, which just allowed him to encounter the so-called "field watching group" organized by Okamura Ningji.
Originally, Okamura ningji hoped that these carefully selected officers would be able to show their skills. As a result, the team of more than 120 officers each, consisting of the commander of Major General Hattori's brigade and 6 major commanders of the Daisa, had not yet reached its destination, and was sent by Wang Jinshan to see Yama on the way.
Then, Wang Jinshan received it when he saw it was good, and led his troops to break into pieces and quickly withdrew from the scene, just so that the angry and demoralized Okamura Ningji more than 3,000 Japanese troops pounced. Afterwards, Chairman Mao praised: "Wang crazy, it is remarkable."
During the Liberation War, he became even more famous. In the Battle of Dingtao, he led his troops to fight with the Nationalist army in a bloody battle at DayangHu, and even though his 6 columns were formed into battalions, or even sacrificed in regiments, the offensive was not reduced at all.
In the end, it destroyed the will to fight of the elite integrated 3rd Division of the Nationalist Army, and eliminated the main force of the Nationalist Army, the 59th Regiment. Later, under the siege of various units of our army, the entire 3rd Division was destroyed, and the commander of the Lieutenant General Division, Zhao Xitian, was also captured alive.
In the subsequent Battle of Xiangfan, Wang Jinshan even adopted the tactic of "attacking the city on the mountain and digging out the heart of the tiger", not only achieving a great victory in the battle, but also capturing the enemy generals Kang Ze and Guo Xunqi alive.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Jinshan led his troops to participate in the Fifth Campaign and the Battle of Shangganling.
Among them, in the Battle of Shangganling, he cooperated with Qin Jiwei's 15th Army, successfully held the nameless highland for 43 days, and repelled many attacks by the "United Nations Army", achieving a crucial victory in the Battle of Shangganling.
On May 10, 1978, he died in Nanjing at the age of 63.
The above is the "four sons" of the 386 Brigade.
It is precisely because of their presence that the 386th Brigade can become the ace unit of our army.
Only then can it be invincible and invincible.
Exorcise the Japanese Kou and return me to the rivers and mountains.
