Some people fight in the army to defend their families and defend the country, some people eat for the sake of mixed food, and some people are arrested and strong, but there is a famous anti-Japanese general who is an exception, he was actually tricked into becoming a soldier, and he can become a famous anti-Japanese general, relying on his real ability.
This famous anti-Japanese general who was tricked into joining the army was called Du Ding, a native of Zaoyang, Hubei Province, born in a large family of landlords in Yangdang Town, who grew up living a life of fine clothes and jade food, Du Ding's academic performance was very good, and he was admitted to Wuhan University after finishing middle school.
One vacation in college, Du Ding was studying at the door of his home, and it happened that the Kuomintang army had been passing by the village, and an officer saw Du Ding reading at the door, so he approached him to talk to him, perhaps to talk speculatively, so Du Ding followed the officer and left.
After joining the Kuomintang army, Du Ding was admitted to the Huangpu Sixth Infantry Section and became a Huangpu student, plus he was born from a large landlord, Chiang Kai-shek was very important to him, Du Ding looked like a talented person, was favored by the daughter of a general surnamed Fang, and became the son-in-law of the general.
Since then, Du Ding has been in the army, and what is even more remarkable is that Du Ding and his wife have given birth to 4 children, his eldest son married Li Zongren's daughter, he and Li Zongren became the children's relatives, with such a background, Du Ding almost became a tumbler in the army.
Unlike what many people think, Du Ding is not a clumsy disciple, but a capable person, during the War of Resistance, Du Ding led his troops to participate in the famous Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Changsha and other battles, during which he himself also experienced nine deaths many times.
In a battle in the winter, he commanded his troops to annihilate hundreds of Japanese troops, but the ammunition gradually ran out, and was forced to a mountain by the Japanese, and the Japanese surrounded Du Ding and the guards from all sides, and it happened that there was a large herd of sheep on the mountain, and Du Ding thought of a clever way to escape.
He asked the guards to put the sheepskin coat back together, and then mixed into the sheep on the mountain, the sheep herder drove the sheep down the mountain, and Du Ding and the guards took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army and the sheep herder to sneak away, although this escape was a bit awkward, but it was better than the Japanese prisoners.
The battle that made Du Ding famous in the War of Resistance was the Battle of Changde, in November 1943, when Du Ding was the commander of the 171st Regiment of the 57th Division of the 74th Army, and in the face of heavy casualties in the troops, he led the surviving soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, as well as dozens of miscellaneous soldiers and more than 20 policemen.
These people added up to only more than 100 people, Du Ding and them still insisted on the wall of the Great West Gate, during which the Japanese released poison gas and did not occupy the position, so Du Ding became famous in the First World War, after the victory of the War of Resistance, Du Ding participated in the Liberation War, in May 1949, the officer was the commander of the Major General of the 100th Army.
At that time, his superior Chen Mingren led the rebellion, and Du Ding chose to defect, leading parts of the 19th Division and the 197th Division to flee south, once into Vietnam, and then back to Guangxi Pass, and finally almost completely annihilated by the People's Liberation Army, Du Ding and a small number of remnants fled into Burma.
Du Ding went to Taiwan, where he continued to receive high-ranking official Houlu until his death in 2003 at the age of 97, and it seems that this is true.
