The Thirteenth Taibao of the Northwest Army was the thirteen important military figures of Feng Yuxiang's strength group, and the thirteen were all pulled up by Feng Yuxiang, who had long followed Feng Yuxiang in the southern expedition to the north. The thirteen were: Sun Liangcheng, Sun Lianzhong, Tong Linge, Liu Ruming, Han Fuyu, Shi Yousan, Zhang Weixi, Guo Zhigang, Wen Chenglie, Cheng Xixian, Ge Jinzhang, Zhao Xiping, and Han Duofeng. Among them, there was a person who could be called the most miserable general of the Nationalist Army, and the kung fu who went to Shanghai to see a tooth became the commander of the light rod. The troops at the bottom all voted for the Red Army, and this person was Sun Lianzhong, what was going on?
It is said that Sun Lianzhong was also a famous anti-Japanese general, and when he was young, he liked to dance knives and guns, and often skipped school. In February 1912, Beiyang went to Xiong County, Hebei Province to recruit troops, and Sun Lianzhong joined the army and began his military career. At first, he was indeed Feng Yuxiang's troops, but then in the Central Plains War, Feng Yuxiang was defeated. Sun Lianzhong understood that before the great war, the Northwest Army was out of the nest and wanted to go back again, so he disobeyed Feng Yuxiang's order to retreat to the west, met with He Yingqin, and expressed his willingness to obey the reorganization.
Because of this, he followed Lao Jiang, whose team was the Twenty-sixth Route Army at that time. This army had been reorganized, so it was sent to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and as soon as it was downsized, it was about to go to battle, and the generals were naturally unwilling. Eventually, under threat, Sun Lianzhong had to set out with the Twenty-sixth Route Army, and arrived in Ningdu during the third encirclement and suppression. The Twenty-sixth Route Army was extremely unsuitable, and fell ill one after another because of the water and soil, but it was also a miscellaneous army, and there was no good medical treatment.
Not long after, the September 18 Incident broke out, and seeing that they still insisted on holding out the outside and inside, the people of the Twenty-sixth Route Army were angry. Among them, Zhao Bosheng, chief of staff of the army, and Dong Zhenwu, commander of the 73rd Brigade, also sent a telegram to Nanjing with people, asking them to go north to defend their hometown, but the result was inaccurate. At the same time, the underground party was also active, the contradictions between the old and the new intensified, and seeing that it was getting deeper and deeper, Sun Lianzhong simply found an excuse to go to Shanghai.
Zhao Bosheng and others had already developed into an underground party at this time, so they took advantage of the absence of Sun Lianzhong and the commander of the 27th Division to launch the Ningdu Uprising. This uprising was still relatively successful, and it was one of the more famous uprisings in the early days, and Sun Lianzhong's troops all defected to the Red Army, and he became the commander of the light pole. However, later, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sun Lianzhong was also a hero and made a lot of efforts. At first he was deputy commander of the Second Army and commander of the First Army, but not long after.
When his commander-in-chief Liu Zhi was fighting in the Baoding region of northern China, he feared the enemy like a rat and fled to Henan. In order to build up the military might, the position of commander-in-chief was given to Sun Lianzhong, but the troops to be treated were still the original troops. During the Great Battle of Taierzhuang, Sun Lianzhong and his men stubbornly refused to retreat. This was the later completion of the encirclement, the attack on the Japanese army, and the final victory of Taierzhuang. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, Sun Lianzhong's troops were not very well armed, but they relied on the spirit of bravery and not being afraid of sacrifice to hold on to them.
However, he did not join the faction and belonged to the miscellaneous generals, and old Jiang never gave a larger position of power to the miscellaneous generals. Therefore, he only had the title of deputy commander of the Fifth Theater, served as a deputy under Li Zongren, and continued to participate in the War of Resistance. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, due to various reasons, Sun Lianzhong threw his old subordinates to Fu Zuoyi. He ran to Nanjing to serve as the commander of the garrison, and later this group of old subordinates followed Fu Zuoyi's uprising, which can be said to be the same thing happening again after several years.
In fact, he didn't need to do anything in Nanjing, as long as he followed Old Jiang and socialized. After arriving in Taiwan, although he had a position, he gradually began to live in seclusion. His life was not bad, and he died on August 14, 1990, at the age of 97. His eight children were either not subject to higher education or had to study abroad. Such an ending is not bad for a generation of famous players.
