The founding general, General Chen Mingren, was originally a concubine of the old Chiang Kai-shek, a famous anti-Japanese general, who served as the chairman of Hunan Province and the commander-in-chief of the provincial "appeasement", and led the uprising with Cheng Qian in August 1949. Then, as a high-ranking general Chen Mingren, why did he say to his children: Shaving the head is the best job?
Chen Mingren is a native of Hongyuan Village, Hongyuan Township, Liling City, Hunan Province, born in a wealthy family, after graduating from middle school, teaching in his hometown, because of the influence of revolutionary ideas, he ignored the opposition of his family, with 30 yuan of silver and ocean travel expenses to invest in Rong, was admitted to the Guangzhou Army Martial Arts School and merged into the first phase of Huangpu study.
Chen Mingren made the old Jiang Instrument heavy in the Battle of Huizhou after he graduated from Huangpu.
It was October 1925, and Chen Mingren, then a company commander, took part in the Second Crusade. During the attack on Huizhou, due to the stubbornness of the enemy and the fierce artillery fire, many Huangpu students who forcibly attacked the city were shot and fell to the ground one by one, and his regimental commander Liu Yaochen was also shot and killed. In the face of a strong enemy, he carried a shell gun, 4 grenades, a flag in his hand, climbed the ladder and jumped to the top of the city wall. "When you reach the top, you first shoot at the enemy with a pistol, then throw a grenade, and the enemy is caught off guard and immediately scattered." Under the cover of artillery fire, he planted a flag in the Huizhou City Tower, and then the Eastern Expeditionary Army successfully broke through Huizhou City.
Chen Mingren's feat made Chiang Kai-shek, who was supervising the battle from afar, see clearly in the telescope, and he asked who was the person who raised the flag and ascended the city? He was told it was Chen Mingren. On the third day after the battle, when Chiang Kai-shek summoned the troops to speak, he asked Chen Mingren to come out, and Chiang personally issued a password, blew the military trumpet three times, and "saluted Chen Mingren." All the officers and men raised their guns in salute, and promoted him to the commander of the third battalion on the spot.
Since then, Lao Jiang has praised Chen Mingren on many occasions, saying that he is "a banner of the first phase of Huangpu.". Therefore, since then, his official position has also been promoted all the way, from lieutenant colonel battalion commander, and then promoted to colonel brigade leader, colonel regiment leader, brigade commander of the Whampoa Military Academy, and at the age of 30, he was promoted to lieutenant general division commander.
Later, Chen Mingren was summoned by chiang kai-shek to study at the Lushan Officer Training Corps and the Army University.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Mingren served as the commander of the Pre-Second Division and participated in the Jiujiang Defense War and the Battle of Guinan.
In 1942, Chen Mingren joined the Chinese Expeditionary Force, leading his troops to counterattack Burma and win many battles. In the winter of 1943, in the Battle of Northern Burma in Western Yunnan, Chen Mingren commanded the 71st Army in the name of deputy commander, and after dozens of fierce battles, it successively crossed the Nu River, crossed Gaoligong Mountain, the Battle of Songshan, and the blitzkrieg of Longling. In particular, in the Battle of Huilongshan, Chen Mingren unified command of the army, artillery, and all the air forces participating in the battle of the Allied forces, which was the most crisp and clean and vigorous offensive since the expeditionary force's counterattack in western Yunnan. Stilwell, chief of staff of the Chinese Theater Command, telephoned Chiang Kai-shek and said, "General Chen Mingren is a famous general in the Chinese Army. ”
Chen Mingren, as the concubine of old Jiang, had a very stubborn temper, and not only met with the same level and level, but even the principal old Jiang he also barded.
Once, old Jiang saw that his troops were not dressed in rags and criticized him fiercely. Unexpectedly, he openly bumped into Old Jiang, and even tore off the Lieutenant General's seal and threw it at Old Jiang's desk, saying, "What is this Lieutenant General division commander?" Do whatever you want, I don't want this official now! The two of them were very unhappy for a while, but fortunately, old Jiang also tolerated this beloved Jiang, and Chen Mingren also fought for old Chiang, fighting bravely on the anti-Japanese battlefield, or deeply favored by old Chiang.
After entering the War of Liberation, Chen Mingren was still a member of the Kuomintang tiger general, and fought against Lin Zong's troops in Siping, and Lin Zong could not win him, so that later when the chairman met him, he had the sigh that "Lin is not as good as you when he met him."
Chen Mingren joined the People's Army in August 1949 after leading an uprising with Cheng Qian, and was awarded the rank of general in 1955. As a senior general of new China, he has a very low-key life, usually likes to do some farm work, plant some trees and flowers, plant some vegetables and the like, and smoke bacon and bacon by himself, and personally make various Hunan kimchi such as sour peppers and sour radish for his children and grandchildren to enjoy.
He always told his children and grandchildren that a shaver was the best job. Why? Because, no matter what world the shaver is in, he has a bite to eat, so he advises his grandchildren to master a survival skill and not starve to death. This is a very simple philosophy of life.
