During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the people of Sichuan made great contributions to the War of Resistance, so there is a sentence praising "the Sichuan Army does not live up to the country".
Among the generals of the Sichuan Army, there is such a "silly division commander", in the early years, because of his legendary life, his story was also made into a movie and a TV series.
The "silly master" is called Fan Shaozeng, he is a Sichuan bamboo man, born in 1894, in the early years, Fan Shaozeng did not like to read, but he liked to listen to some stories of righteousness on the rivers and lakes, and it was precisely like this, and soon he joined the local gang organization Brother Robe.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Fan Shaozeng embarked on the road of becoming a soldier, he successively served in the Sichuan warlords Yan Deji, Xiong Kewu, Yang Sen, in 1923, Fan Shaozeng was already a brigade commander, in 1927, Fan Shaozeng turned to Liu Xiang.
In 1931, in order to compete with Liu Xiang for power, another warlord in Sichuan, Liu Wenhui, sent him 500,000 oceans in order to win Fan Shaozeng, at this time, Fan Shaozeng appeared to be very loyal, he told Liu Xiang about this matter, Liu Xiang was very pleased, he let Fan Shaozeng take this money to Shanghai to play.
In Shanghai, Fan Shao increased the warm welcome of Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, and others, and even Zhang Jinhu, the old man of the Qinggang Renshe, who also took him in as a closed disciple.
Fan Shaozeng did not spend all his money, he used this money to build a "Fan Zhuang" in Chongqing, you have to ask what is the use, in fact, this is Fan Shaozeng used to "golden house hidden Jiao".
During the Republic of China period, there was a gun is the king, Fan Shaozeng from a soldier, became a division commander, naturally also received a lot of aunts, later statistics at least more than 40, in order to unify the management of these aunts, Fan Shaozeng built "Fan Zhuang"
Fan Shaozeng so many aunts and wives, not all loyal to him, in 1933, his aunt Ziju was studying in Chongqing, and fell in love with the principal, this matter later happened in the East Window, Fan Shaozeng was ashamed and angry, and decided to kill the two.
At this time, the principal's parents came forward, and even knelt down to beg for forgiveness, hoping to spare these two people, Fan Shaozeng although he did not read much, but in the jianghu mixed, he was very reasonable.
In the end, Fan Shaozeng decided to take Ziju as a dry daughter, hold several banquets for her to marry, and take out 5,000 oceans as a dowry, the matter finally came to an end, And Fan Shaozeng's means of handling this matter were praised by many people.
In 1937, with the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance, the two parties cooperated, and the people of the whole country began to fight the war, when Liu Xiang had unified Sichuan, and he led his troops to say that if they did not recover the lost land, they would not return to Sichuan.
Although Fan Shaozeng is lustful, he is also a person with a sense of national danger.
In 1938, after the end of the Battle of Wuhan and the fall of Wuhan, Fan Shaozeng found Chiang Kai-shek and asked him for an army name, the purpose of which was to resist Japan, and Chiang Kai-shek immediately agreed.
Soon, Fan Shaozeng was appointed commander of the 88th Army.
Although he was a military commander, in fact, Fan Shaozeng did not have a single soldier under him, he was not discouraged, and immediately returned to Sichuan to recruit troops and buy horses, in Sichuan, Fan Shaozeng used his brother's robe and the various connections of the old department to call on everyone to enthusiastically join the army, and in less than ten days, he pulled up a force of more than 10,000 people.
The troops have people, no weapons and equipment, Fan Shaozeng got some old ordnance in other people's stocks, these weapons are all leftover rags, Fan Shaozeng is not abandoned, he found his own old subordinates of the Ordnance Department, asking him to find someone to repair weapons for himself: "I will pay for my own repairs, you help, you must repair these weapons as soon as possible, I am good to go out and fight the devils."
Subsequently, Fan Shaozeng spent a lot of money and found some officers who were idle at home, and let them serve as platoon leaders and battalion commanders.
After returning to Chongqing, he went to visit Zhou Enlai to ask for advice on the method of "defeating the enemy and winning victory." Zhou Enlai was very happy about his arrival, and he told Fan Shaozeng: "To defeat the enemy and win victory, it is necessary to educate the troops to know who to serve as soldiers and for whom to fight, and at the same time the military discipline must be strict, rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished, officers and men must be united, and the people must be cared for. ”
Although the 88th Army is a corps, it is actually a new 21st Division, there are only two brigade commanders below, Fan Shaozeng originally appointed his confidant Luo Juntong as deputy commander, at this time the Kuomintang special agent Kang Ze said that Luo Juntong had not attended a military school, Fan Shaozeng had no choice but to appoint Kang Ze's people.
Later, the 88th Army was actually controlled by Kang Ze, and Fan Shao was angry, but he called Gu Zhutong, who was then the commander of the Third Theater, and Gu Zhutong had a good personal relationship with him, so he ordered Fan Shaozeng to lead his troops to the Shangrao area of Jiangxi.
When we arrived in Shangrao, when the troops threw themselves into the battlefield, Fan Shaozeng held a meeting and said: "In the past, when we fought a civil war in Sichuan, we all harmed the common people, but this time the brothers went with me to fight the Japanese devils, fought a national war, wanted everyone to be heroes, not allowed to be dogs and bears, Lao Tzu was ruined, and desperately wanted to work with you to drive away the Japanese turtle sons." ”
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Fan Shaozeng led the 88th Army to participate in several battles, and its achievements were brilliant, in 1942, Fan Shaozeng led his troops to kill Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, the commander of the Japanese 15th Division, and a day later, he again led his troops to wound kono, the commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade.
After winning the battle at the front, Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious of him and transferred him to deputy commander-in-chief of the Tenth Army, which had no real power.
After returning home, Fan Shaozeng was angry and no longer continued to support Chiang Kai-shek, he also helped to send weapons and equipment to the New Fourth Army, when the civil war broke out, Fan Shaozeng had no intention of participating in the civil war, and in December 1949, he led the uprising.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to Fan Shaozeng's interests and hobbies, the party organization arranged for him to serve as the deputy director of the Henan Provincial Sports Committee, which was already a new China at that time, it was monogamous, and Fan Shaozeng also divorced his aunt and wife, leaving zhang Shaofen alone to accompany him.
In 1977, Fan Shaozeng died of illness at the age of 83, which can be described as a good death.
There is no doubt that Fan Shaozeng also has a well-known title, that is, "anti-Japanese hero",
