Mr. Sun Wen devoted his life to revolution, and in order to realize the Three People's Principles, he always fought against the decadent Qing Dynasty or the warlord-run Beiyang government, and although he failed several times, he never lost heart. After the failure of the Dharma Protection Movement, in order to reshape the Banner of the Protector of the Law, he took up the post of Special President in Guangzhou, and at that time his Presidential Palace Guard Regiment had three battalion commanders, who were not famous at this time, but in the future they were all well-known brave generals, known as the "Three Musketeers of the Cantonese Army", they were Xue Yue, Ye Ting, and Zhang Fakui.
Xue Yue, commander of the first battalion of guards
At that time, The one who gave Sun Wen the commander of the guard battalion was Xue Yue, whose performance during the Northern Expedition did not say anything, but only said that he was neutral in the defense of Changsha, and he created his own Heavenly Furnace Tactics, and vigorously served as the commander of the Ninth Theater to guard Changsha, resisting the three attacks of the Japanese Kou on Changsha, and after the Third Battle of Changsha, he was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, and U.S. President Truman awarded him the Medal of Freedom. Xue Yue is also known as "Xue Laohu", he is also recognized as the general who commanded the Nationalist army to eliminate the Japanese Kou, up to 110,000 people, and he was awarded the title of General of the Kuomintang.
Ye Ting, commander of the Second Guard Battalion
As an excellent revolutionary and military figure in the early days of our Party, Ye Ting's status is beyond doubt. In fact, Ye Ting followed Sun Wen relatively early, especially when Chen Jiongming rebelled, Ye Ting led his troops to block the gate and defend Sun Wen's safety many times, and at the time of the Northern Expedition, the Ye Ting independent regiment led by him was invincible and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the vanguard, which can be described as invincible and invincible, and Wu Ziyu who fought was all the way back. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander of the New Fourth Army, and was later detained by the Kuomintang in the Anhui Incident, but he was always humble and unobtrusive, and in the face of the promise of his classmate Gu Zhutong, who was a senior officer in charge of the Commander-in-Chief of the Theater of Operations, he was still unmoved, and finally wrote a righteous prisoner song, and was killed in a plane crash on the way to Yan'an after the victory of the War of Resistance.
Zhang Fakui, commander of the third battalion of guards
Compared with Xue Yue and Ye Ting, Zhang Fakui's reputation is a little small, but his future achievements are definitely not less than these two. During the Northern Expedition, Zhang Fakui served as the commander of the main force of the Cantonese Army, the "Iron Fourth Army", and at that time, ye Ting's independent regiment was subordinate to the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Zhang Fakui had an ambiguous relationship with lao Jiang in his life, but he was definitely a patriotic general, and after 918, he wanted to go north to resist Japan, and then he was stranded because lao Jiang did not give the opening fee, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he led his troops to participate in many battles such as the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Northern Guangdong, and was awarded the rank of second-class general.
Among them, Xue Yue and Ye Ting both graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School, and they were all Guangdong Hakka, and more importantly, they were all patriotic generals.
