Chen Zhongzhu graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and achieved amazing results in the Battle of Taierzhuang, although he was a Kuomintang officer, but his patriotic feelings, there is nothing to doubt, he was tall and mighty, invincible on the battlefield, but it is a pity that such a heroic hero eventually died young.
In 1941, Chen Zhongzhu after three days and three nights of fierce fighting with the Japanese army, finally because of the huge disparity in strength by the Japanese army shot 6 shots in a row after the death of the scene, after the death of Chen Zhongzhu, the Japanese army in order to go back to receive the reward, it cut off his head and took it away, when Chen Zhongzhu's wife learned that her husband's head was taken away by the Japanese army, desperately, with a big belly and her daughter straight to the Japanese army headquarters, she was bound to take back Chen Zhongzhu's head.
Chen Zhongzhu was sacrificed
Chen Zhongzhu graduated from the 6th phase of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1931, and after graduation was assigned to the National Central University as a military instructor, during which time he met Wang Zhifang, a girl from the family of officials and eunuchs, Wang Zhifang fell in love with Chen Zhongzhu at first sight, Chen Zhongzhu also had a good feeling for Wang Zhifang, the two soon came together, and married in 1932, and then gave birth to the eldest daughter Hongxiu.
Due to the unpredictable situation at that time, coupled with the war years, Chen Zhongzhu and Wang Zhifang were destined to be able to gather less and leave more, and when Chen Zhongzhu went out to fight, Wang Zhifang could only wait at home for his return, and with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Chen Zhongzhu was even busier.
General Chen Zhongzhu was very brave on the battlefield, and made great contributions to the Battle of Taierzhuang, no matter how the situation changed, he never wavered Chen Zhongzhu's love for the motherland, when the Nationalist and Communist armies quarreled in 1940 and the Battle of Guozhuang broke out, after this battle, Chen Zhongzhu's former superior, Li Changjiang, planned to defect to the Japanese army.
At that time, Chen Zhongzhu had already seen li Changjiang's meaning, and in the case of Li Changjiang pointing a gun at everyone for a meeting, Chen Zhongzhu still insisted that he was unwilling to defect to the Japanese, that is, during these critical periods, the connection between Chen Zhongzhu and Chen Yi began to tighten, and he became more and more aware of the correctness of the leadership of the Communist Party.
At the beginning of 1941, Li Changjiang officially defected to the Wang puppet regime, and soon this news reached the ears of the New Fourth Army, and after weighing the pros and cons, our army began to take the initiative to attack Taizhou City, where Li Changjiang was located, in February 1941, wounding thousands of Li Changjiang's puppet army, and beating Li Changjiang to flee.
After our army left Taizhou, Li Changjiang returned to Taizhou, but he was always worried that our army would raid him again, so he went to find the troops of Xiangji in the south of the Japanese army and asked them to support him. Ever since Li Changjiang defected to the Wang puppet regime, Chen Zhongzhu kept his distance from him and left with his troops.
After a breakthrough by all sides, Chen Zhongzhu's contingent and Li Mingyang's contingent met with each other, and the two combined, often in contact with the New Fourth Army, and everyone cooperated in the battle, smashing the many encirclements and suppressions of xiangji and Li Changjiang puppet armies in the south, making them hate this army to the bone, and even more hating Chen Zhongzhu.
Later, in order to capture Chen Zhongzhu, Xiangji in the south issued an arrest warrant and a reward order for Chen Zhongzhu, his wife Wang Zhifang, his daughter Hongxiu and others, not only that, in early June 1941, the Japanese puppet army also deployed a large number of troops to surround Chen Zhongzhu's fourth column, hoping to wipe it out.
At that time, the total number of Japanese puppet troops responsible for encircling and suppressing Chen Zhongzhu was several thousand, and Chen Zhongzhu's army was small in number and not so advanced in equipment, so in this war, Chen Zhongzhu's army fought less and less, and the situation was very dangerous, and after the war lasted for a period of time, Chen Zhongzhu's army was completely surrounded by Japanese puppet troops.
Chen Zhongzhu was resolutely unwilling to surrender, and at a critical juncture, he ordered Yang Fenggao to take Wang Zhifang's mother and daughter to transfer, while he himself led the soldiers to continue the bloody battle, and when he was leaving, Chen Zhongzhu looked at Wang Zhifang's belly and told her that no matter whether the child born was male or female, he would be named Chen Zhi, in order to hope that the child would remember his father's wishes. After Chen Zhongzhu went to the battlefield, Wang Zhifang and Yang Fenggao hid under the grass stacks until the gunfire stopped, and then walked out to a local hometown home for a while.
Wang Zhifang was temporarily safe, but Chen Zhongzhu, who went to the battlefield, after three days and three nights of fierce fighting with the Japanese puppet army, eventually the number of his own army became smaller and smaller, and after being shot six times in a row, he was killed on the spot, and after the sacrifice, the Japanese puppet army cut off Chen Zhongzhu's head and took it away in order to go back to Xiangji in the south to receive the reward.
Wang Zhifang went to the Japanese army headquarters to return the head
When Wang Zhifang learned that her husband had died and that her head had been taken away by the Japanese puppet army, she was silent for a while, and then made a decision that shocked everyone, saying that she would personally go to the Japanese puppet army headquarters to find Xiangji in the south to get her husband's head back.
At that time, many people advised Wang Zhifang not to go, after all, the Japanese puppet army had lost her humanity at that time, and she had been listed as a wanted criminal by them, if she rushed to go, it was estimated that the murder was more than ji, Wang Zhifang was kind to everyone, saying that he had a heart, but to return to her husband's head, it was still necessary to do it.
Wang Zhifang found a place to bury her husband, took out her husband's coffin, put it on a small boat, and went straight to the headquarters of the Japanese puppet army, when Wang Zhifang arrived in Taizhou, he first went to Qin Qinglin's house, Qin Qinglin had already defected to the Japanese, but his wife Xie Shuqing and Wang Zhifang had a good friendship before, so Qin Qinglin only turned a blind eye to Wang Zhifang's arrival.
Xie Shuqing was very sympathetic to Wang Zhifang's plight, not only sent their mother and daughter some clothes, but also specially found the translator next to Xiangji in the south, and sent him 5,000 gifts to help Wang Zhifang find Xiangji in the south to explain that he wanted to return Chen Zhongzhu's head.
The translator was hindered by Qin Qinglin's face and did not dare to accept Xie Shuqing's money, but still said that he would try his best to help Wang Zhifang intercede, indeed this translator did not tell a lie, he quickly conveyed Wang Zhifang's words to Nan xiangji, nan xiangji did not believe that a pregnant woman had such a big guts, and said that he would ask Wang Zhifang to personally go to the headquarters to find him.
After Wang Zhifang listened, without hesitation, he went directly to the headquarters to find Xiangji in the south, when Xiangji in the south saw Wang Zhifang, he was completely stunned, he did not say anything more, Wang Zhifang saw that there was a coffin in the corner, she felt that Chen Zhongzhu's head should be inside, so she walked towards there, just a few steps, was stopped by the southern Xiangji.
Wang Zhifang thought that the southern Xiangji had rebelled, so he said that if he did not hand over her husband's head, he would "float the corpse and bleed five steps", and the southern Xiangji could not imagine that the woman in front of him was so brave, he looked at Wang Zhifang and said: "It is not that it is not to give, it is necessary to do a simple ceremony."
After Wang Zhifang watched the Japanese pretend to make a simple farewell ceremony to Chen Zhongzhu's head, Xiangji in the south finally handed Chen Zhongzhu's head to Wang Zhifang, who left the headquarters with her husband's head on her big belly and found someone to stitch Chen Zhongzhu's head on his body and bury him.
When leaving the Japanese army headquarters, Xiangji in the south asked Wang Zhifang to bury Chen Zhongzhu in Taizhou, which was a great threat, and Wang Zhifang also understood the meaning, and had no choice but to bury Chen Zhongzhu in Taizhou, but fortunately, relying on Wang Zhifang's fearless spirit, chen Zhongzhu was buried safely and the whole body was preserved.
