The generals of the Kuomintang all obeyed Jiang and were eager to pat themselves on the back when they met, but Chen Mingren dared to confront Jiang Ren head-on; in the winter of 1941, Jiang Mingren and his wife went from Kunming to Xishan for sightseeing, and just happened to bump into Chen Mingren and his troops building national defense fortifications in Xishan.
The soldiers of the troops were all dressed in rags, and Jiang Immediately became angry and asked Chen Mingren why he led the troops so much. Chen Mingren replied: "The clothes of the troops are not well worn, you can't blame me, the clothes were sent to us by you, and they were torn after only one week!" "Immediately put Jiang Someone in the face with iron blue."
It can be seen from this that Chen Mingren is really not an ordinary Kuomintang general, so why does he dare to confront Someone Jiang? Quite simply, because his promotion did not rely on patting his ass, but on his true ability, Chen Mingren was a student of the first phase of Huangpu, and was promoted to battalion commander during the Eastern Crusade for his outstanding military achievements.
In the 1925 conquest of Huizhou, he was the first to climb the Huizhou City Tower, Jiang Someone praised him as a banner of Huangpu in front of the generals, and after the war, Song Meiling favored Chen Mingren and proposed to be a matchmaker for him, marrying the daughter of the Kuomintang elder Liao Zhongkai to him as a wife.
For many people, this is a good opportunity to dream of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, but Chen Mingren immediately refused, frankly saying that he had a wife Xie in his hometown, and did not dare to stop his wife and remarry, Song Meiling had to find his own steps, Jiang Someone was not happy on the surface, but in his heart he still admired Chen Mingren.
In the spring of 1944, Chen Mingren, then deputy commander of the 71st Army of the Expeditionary Force, led his troops to fight against the Japanese army on the Burmese border, and through more than a dozen battles, annihilated most of the enemies on the outskirts of Songshan and Longling.
After the war, Chen Mingren was promoted to military commander, and in January 1945, Chen Mingren made another military achievement, when his 71st Army was responsible for the main attack on Huilongshan, Chen Mingren issued a military order in front of the American liaison officer, attacked Huilongshan in three days, and sure enough, he took Huilongshan within the scheduled time.
Chen Mingren, who had made great achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, was reduced to a tool of the civil war, and he led the 71st Army into the northeast battlefield at the behest of Jiang Renren, which was the foundation of the expeditionary force, with high quality and excellent equipment, and was regarded as a fierce enemy by the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, and later suffered Chen Mingren's losses.
In June 1947, in order to cut off the connection between the enemy Changchun and Shenyang, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army launched the Siping Offensive, when the defenders were mainly Chen Mingren's 71st Army, as well as parts of the 13th Army and the 53rd Army, and the enemy built a large number of fortifications.
The heroic Northeast Democratic Coalition Army once captured the Dongcheng District of Siping and captured Chen Mingren's brother Chen Mingxin, but Chen Mingren still insisted on resisting and came up with a wonderful plan, scattering soybeans on the ground, and our soldiers slipped and fell when they charged, and he also used flour to form a bunker and quickly built fortifications.
Due to Chen Mingren's stubborn resistance and the imminent arrival of nationalist reinforcements, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army had to retreat, and Chen Mingren defeated Lin Zong, and after the war, when Lin Mingren summed up the failure, he regretted not listening to Deng Hua's suggestion, and went to four columns to besiege Siping, but the defeat of the Kuomintang was the trend of the times.
After the war, Chen Mingren was also regarded as a great meritorious service, regarded as a "hero of national salvation", and went to Nanjing to award the medal, Chen Mingren had just received the Qingtian White Sun Medal for a few days, and chen Cheng accused him of embezzling military salaries and plundering materials during the Siping period, but he could not produce empirical evidence, and finally was acquitted.
Chen Mingren was removed from his post as commander of the army and made him an idle post of "joining the army", which made Chen Mingren feel deeply chilled, and even Chen Mingren's former subordinates said that they would no longer fight for Chiang Kai-shek, and in August 1949, Chen Mingren and Cheng potentially revolted in Hunan.
Organizationally considering his merits in the anti-Japanese resistance and uprising, asking him what he wanted, Chen Mingren said, "I have no requirements", in 1955, Chen Mingren was awarded the rank of general, during the Kuomintang period he was only a lieutenant general, after the uprising became a real general, in 1974, Chen Mingren died of illness at the age of 71.
