As we all know, the founding general Xu Shiyou was born in the Shaolin Temple, learned a body of martial arts from an early age, and later joined the army, Xu Shiyou served as the captain of the death squad many times, it can be said that this martial art gave him a lot of help, in our army, there are also many generals who are not born in Shaolin, but are still strong in martial arts, such as Geng Biao, such as Sun Jixian.
One day, when he and Geng Biao were walking together, he heard that Geng Biao was a practicing family, so he said that he wanted to compete with him, and Geng Biao said to Xu Shiyou: "Southern fist and northern leg, we may not necessarily be able to fight, besides, whoever hits anyone is not appropriate, or you come to your own set."
After Xu Shiyou listened, he immediately played a set of punches and won the applause of Geng Biao, and later Geng Biao gave Xu Shiyou a high evaluation in his memoirs, he wrote: Xu Shiyou really played a set of punches, "Shaolin" is full of flavor, really powerful and can carry the momentum. That invincible style is in line with his straightforward, rugged, and fearless personality.
Geng Biao is strong in martial arts, his family lineage is different, his father Geng Chunan was a well-known martial arts master in the late Qing Dynasty, and was also given the title of "Tiger Head Double Hook" by the emperor, and since then he has had the title of "Double Hook Hero".
Born in such a family, Geng Biao was naturally influenced by his father, and he also learned a good martial art from an early age, so how high is Geng Biao's martial arts? It is recorded in the Biography of Geng Biao.
At the Battle of Nanxiong Shuikou, Geng Biao was then the chief of staff of the 9th Division of the Red Third Army. In this battle, the Red Third Army became the main attacking unit of the Cantonese Army, although this battle defeated 15 regiments of the Cantonese Army, but the Red Army suffered heavy casualties, in this battle, the commander of the Red 9th Division was wounded, the commanders of the three regiments were killed, Geng Biao relied on a saber to fight several times on the battlefield, before waiting for the reinforcements led by Chen Yi. ”
In the Battle of Xiangjiang, Geng Biao was the leader of the Red Fourth Regiment, and the enemy's bullets hit the red fourth regiment headquarters, and the guards pulled Geng Biao backwards, and Geng Biao roared angrily, "Take the saber." During the Battle of Xiangjiang, Geng Biao suffered from malaria, swung from time to time, and was still very weak. As a result, Geng Biao rushed to the enemy's hidden position, under a saber, and collected a platoon of the enemy, and his body was stained with the enemy's brain plasma and blood plasma, causing him to vomit incessantly. ”
From these records, it can be seen that Geng Biao's martial arts are high.
Sun Jixian was also a master of martial arts, and at the same time, he had another identity, he was one of the eighteen warriors who forcibly crossed the Dadu River during the Red Army period, and later became a founding lieutenant general.
Sun Jixian was a native of Cao County, Shandong Province, and from an early age he learned the art from Gao ren, trained a good martial art, and was proficient in various weapons; during the Battle of Xiangjiang, Sun Jixian was then the commander of the first regiment and a battalion of the First Division of the Red First Army.
Sun Jixian
After rushing out, Sun Jixian's whole body was soaked with blood, but not a drop of blood was his own, Xu Shiyou learned of this, and gave a thumbs up: "Old Sun is really powerful, I admire." ”
For example, Geng Biao, Sun Jixian, Xu Shiyou and others are all famous martial arts masters in our army, so are there other famous martial arts masters in our army? There is also a founding lieutenant general, his name is Qian Jun, it is very coincidental that he and Xu Shiyou are from Shaolin, the two have been in the temple for 5 years, but the two did not know each other at that time.
Qian Jun is a native of Guangshan County, Henan Province, born in 1905, due to the poverty of the family, Qian Jun in order to earn a living, has learned to strike iron, nail palm and other crafts, at the age of 11, Qian Jun is no longer willing to endure this bland life, he decided to go to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.
When Qian Jun entered Shaolin, Xu Shiyou had been in the Shaolin Temple for 3 years, when he first entered Shaolin, Qian Jun was arranged to go to split wood to burn fire, there was no splitting knife, Qian Jun asked, the monk said to raise his hand and said, "This is the knife," And then, he screwed the wood down with his hand, piece by piece, Qian Jun saw such a magical thing for the first time, very shocked.
Qian Jun
Because of this shock, Qian Jun made up his mind that he must study martial arts well.
For more than a thousand years, at the door of the East Squatter's House in front of the Abbot's Hall of the Shaolin Temple, a 120-kilogram iron cloud row has been hanging high. Whenever the monks of the whole monastery gathered to do Buddhist deeds or concentrate on preaching, the deacon monks would ring the cloud row notice. Qian Jun once used this cloud row to practice arm strength, and practiced without making a sound as a standard. After practicing like this every day for several years, Qian Jun finally practiced to be able to take it off with one hand, and his face did not change color and gasp as usual.
In the Shaolin Temple, Qian Jun stayed for 5 years, he left Shaolin in the same year as Xu Shiyou, between Xu Shiyou and Xu Shiyou, Xu Shiyou was strong in martial arts, he was shocked in the world with his fist technique, and Qian Jun was in the palm of his hand. The palm of the hand is like a sharp axe, and the stone is as easy as cutting tofu.
When the two joined the revolution, they both joined the Red Fourth Front, but at that time the two were only comrades-in-arms, not very familiar, after the Red Army's Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, the two in Yan'an, chatted about their respective past, they knew that the original two were actually the Shaolin Temple's "division brothers", so there was a fate, the two could not help but laugh.
In their respective revolutionary careers, they made great contributions to the revolution, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Shiyou was awarded the rank of general, and Qian Jun was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
In his later years, Xu Shiyou and Qian Jun both lived in Nanjing, and at that time Xu Shiyou often went to talk to this "little master", the two of them had their ears behind their backs, and they each said their own words and answered questions that were not what they asked.
But despite this, the two chatted with relish.
