preface:
In the spring of 1942, on the coast of Jiangsu, there was an active maritime armed force, and there were pirates, in fact, no different from the mountain thieves in the northern region, of which they were well known
Sun Erfu
It was one of the pirate leaders. Although he was a pirate, he often beat devils and did a lot of good things, in order to exaggerate the anti-war team, and finally Sun Erfu was indoctrinated by Su Yu, the commander of the First Division of the New Fourth Army at that time, and decided to join the New Fourth Army, which is also an interesting story that is not known.
Some people say that Su Yu's momentum is like Li Yunlong, but in fact, it is far more.
Sun Erfu was taken in
Sun Erfu came from a poor family, experienced the pain of family changes when he was a child, and often went to sea to make money when he was 7 years old, and his spirit of not being afraid of hardships from childhood laid the foundation for him to become a pirate king in the future. He could fish, dive, and know how to be skilled, and he was also a big name among the pirate teams he led at that time.

As early as the eve of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this Sun Erfu personally led the fleet and often cracked down on pirates who bullied the people, and in people's hearts, although this Sun Erfu robbed, he never robbed the people, and was called by people
"Overlord of the Seas",
It is precisely because of such a good reputation that Master Su Yu looks up to him.
In 1939, a Japanese army landed in Chenjiagang in more than 20 motorboats, and because China's coastal defense was weak at that time, it gave the devils an opportunity to take advantage of it. In 1941, he was the commander of the First Division of the New Fourth Army
Su Yu
Under the instructions of his superiors, he decided to develop coastal forces, knowing that this Sun Erfu was a sea overlord, and naturally he was the best candidate.
Su Yu invited Sun Erfu to drink
At that time, Sun Erfu was so free that he actually harassed the New Fourth Army in the Soviet-Chinese base area of our army, and the commander of the Su Yu Division was naturally rude, and with a little trick, he arrested Sun Erfu. At that time, Tao Yong, commander of the Fourth Sub-district of Central Jiangsu, had already told Commander Su Yu that this Sun Erfu was a good seedling, familiar with things on the sea, and had combat experience, and the only drawback was that he was flowing with gas, and there was no difference between him and bandits.

Tao Yong told Sun Erfu that now that the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible for resisting Japan, and you don't have a serious army outside like this, what if you are destroyed by the devils one day, who is not raised by your father. Later, Master Su Yu said that since he wanted to absorb others, he must show sincerity. In the end, he still sent a lot of bullets and guns to Sun Erfu.
It was precisely because of the spirit of the New Fourth Army that sun Erfu was deeply moved and finally decided to join the New Fourth Army. But just after being incorporated, these pirates are not used to it, often eating, drinking and having fun, one by one. One day, Sun Erfu celebrated his birthday, and he made a big splash on the boat, saying that he wanted to drink well to celebrate.

At this time, a correspondent of the New Fourth Army quickly wrote a letter saying that there was an urgent matter. Sun Erfu took the letter and saw that it was originally a handwritten letter from Master Su Yu, and it was an invitation to drink. In this way, Sun Erfu was excited, but he also thought, this Su Yu is now attacking the He Family Stove stronghold, how can he be in the mood to invite guests to drink? But when he saw that the correspondent was urging, he said: You are waiting for me, and when I come back, we will celebrate.
Su Yu's words woke up Sun Erfu
When Sun Erfu arrived at Su Yu's division headquarters, he saw that the division commander actually greeted him personally. Su Yu smiled and said: "Old Sun is indeed a man who counts words." Sun Erfu felt that something was wrong, so he simply sat down without saying a word and obediently smoked a cigarette.
Master Su Yu said: What's wrong old sun, today is your birthday, you should be happy, ah,
Come, I'll prepare a little wine to celebrate for you.
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, this bold and careful Sun Erfu felt that something was wrong, and he squinted his eyes and said: Division Commander, no, didn't you just talk about the discipline of the New Fourth Army a few days ago, and this first rule is that alcohol is not allowed in combat.

Su Yu sneered and said:
Yes, but there is another rule in our army, that is, non-party figures who have contributed to the anti-Japanese resistance can make an exception.
In this way, Sun Erfu was even more ignorant, just blushing, and did not know what medicine Su Yu was selling in this gourd. Then he said: Then thank you, the division commander, actually know my birthday.
Su Yu took two jugs of wine from the side and smiled: "Well, today we will have a drink, but only once, the next time we have to wait for the time to beat the devil away, let's drink well." Sun Erfu looked confused, so he obediently raised the wine jug. After a while, Su Yu said in a serious tone: Since your subordinates are wearing the clothes of the New Fourth Army, they must not drink alcohol when they are fighting, otherwise they will delay major events and you know the consequences.
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Sun Erfu was full of excitement, and the division commander was suddenly so serious, Sun Erfu didn't know why. Su Yu stood up and said: I still have a task, so I will not accompany it!" After speaking, Master Su Yu walked out in a big stride, and his head did not return.
This Sun Erfu naturally felt something, he picked up the wine pot that Master Su Yu had just drunk, took a sip of it, couldn't help but have wet eyes, and ran towards the sea.
It turned out that the master's wine pot was not filled with wine, but boiled water!

Back on the boat by the sea, everyone was waiting for Sun Erfu, and when they saw that Sun Erfu had returned, a warrior laughed and said: The boss is back, ready to open the wine altar! Unexpectedly, this Sun Erfu picked up the wine jar and fell to the ground with a loud bang, and everyone was stunned and did not know what was going on.
Sun Erfu immediately took out a gun from his waist, "snapped" two shots into the air, and shouted:
Today, when we become the New Fourth Army, we must have the appearance of a soldier, and from today onwards, the whole regiment will abstain from alcohol, and if anyone dares to take a sip of wine, Lao Tzu will shoot him!
Repeatedly built miracles
From 1942 to 1944, the Second Coastal Defense Regiment led by Sun Erfu carried out many attacks against the Japanese army. One day in July 1944, thousands of devils and puppet troops swept the base area, and Sun Erfu led his army to attract the attention of the devils to cover the retreat of the main force, which was bombed by Japanese bombers. Sun Erfu rushed to the front in the rain of bullets and bullets, bravely killing the enemy, although there were great casualties, but successfully covered the main retreat.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Erfu's troops were commended by their superiors. Later, Tokyo's "Asahi Shimbun" also made an evaluation: there are wandering sailors of the New Fourth Army along the east Coast of China, which are haunted and difficult to reconnoiter. This refers to Sun Erfu's troops, comparable to the railway guerrillas in north China.
Recalling these outstanding battle achievements, Sun Erfu was very grateful to General Su Yu, and if it were not for The commander of Su Yu's division who woke himself up that time, he still did not know what his troops were like. Later, after the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sun Erfu's troops played a prominent role in the Battle of crossing the River, and were finally incorporated into the First Column of the Navy of the East China Military Region.

In the early days of liberation, Sun Erfu was appointed head of the Coastal Defense Regiment of the East China Military Region, and in January 1956, the man who had once been a sea king died young and was buried in the Taizhou Martyrs Cemetery. Sun Erfu's life told posterity about the hardships of fishermen in the coastal areas of central Jiangsu in China.
It also proves that national heroes also have the spiritual spirit.
