Since the Opium Wars of modern times, China has begun to decline and face invasion by great powers. Our country has degenerated from a great power from all nations to a weak country that has been divided up by the Western powers. Faced with the unreasonable demands of the great powers, the weak and incompetent Qing government chose to sell out its national interests in order to save itself.
After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing government was eventually overthrown, which was a historical necessity, and the feudal dynasty was no longer suitable for China at that time. At that time, a thorny issue was in front of us, although the Qing government was overthrown, but the pace of invasion by the great powers did not stop, and our country was still poor and backward.
Since the September 18 Incident, Japan began to openly invade our three northeastern provinces, and tens of millions of northeastern fathers and elders were killed and lived like slaves. After Japan forcibly occupied Northeast China, its ambitions continued to expand, and in 1937 it launched the Lugou Bridge Incident and began to invade China in an all-round way, in an attempt to turn China into a territory within Japan's sphere of influence.
The Chinese nation is a self-reliant and self-respecting nation, and at a time of national crisis, many people stepped forward, and during this period, many anti-Japanese heroes enthusiastically emerged. Just as the so-called heroes do not ask the source, even if they are from bandits and warlords, they can contribute to the anti-Japanese resistance, they are also national heroes.
Among the many anti-Japanese generals, one of them was quite special, his name was Fan Shaozeng, who led the army to kill two senior Japanese generals in two days during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and was a staunch anti-Japanese faction. In terms of private life, Fan Shaozeng has forty aunts and wives, which can be described as a blessing. In his later years, Fan Shaozeng was also very bold, daring to fight the Red Guards during the special period.
Fan Shaozeng, who killed two Japanese generals?
The protagonist in the TV series "Silly Commander" is based on Fan Shaozeng, who is a famous anti-Japanese general in Sichuan. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Sichuan Army contributed a lot of troops, sending more than three million troops to the anti-Japanese front, and Sichuan was a model province for the anti-Japanese resistance. Fan Shaozeng was born in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province, with a rich family, did not love to read since childhood, and liked to make friends with chivalrous people.
In the early years, Fan Shaozeng followed Zhang Zuolin and participated in the campaign to woo Yuan. In 1923, Fan Shaozeng was recruited by the Sichuan warlord Yang Sen and became a brigade commander under him. Fan Shaozeng was wary of Yang Sen for developing the power of the brothers, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him. Fan Shaozeng realized early, and after learning that he was in danger, he chose to break away from Yang Sen and join Liu Xiang's forces as the commander of the Fourth Division.
During the revolutionary period of the Red Army, Fan Shaozeng was ordered to lead his troops to fight with The He Longbu, and there were casualties on both sides, and a regiment of Fan's troops was annihilated and he himself was wounded. Before the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, He Yingqin came to Sichuan to reorganize the army, and Fan Shaozeng's troops were annexed by Liu Xiang, and he became a deputy commander with no power, so Fan hated Liu very much, and the relationship between the two sides broke down.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, Fan Shaozeng took the initiative to invite Miao to participate in the war, and went to Shanghai without a single soldier and a pawn to fight the War of Resistance, serving as the deputy commander of the Eleventh Corps. The following year, Fan Shaozeng gained Chiang Kai-shek's trust by exposing the collusion between Liu Xiang and Han Fuyu, and was appointed commander of the Eighty-eighth Army, where he could recruit soldiers on his own.
In Chuanzhong, Fan Shaozeng still has a certain reputation, after he had the power to recruit soldiers, he immediately gathered four regiments in Sichuan, and his power became more and more powerful, and Fan Shaozeng's commander of the Eighty-eighth Army was no longer an empty shelf, and there were people with guns in his hands. Fan Shaozeng was a patriotic soldier who led the Eighty-eighth Army out of Sichuan to resist the War in 1939, fought against the Japanese in Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, and visited the front line many times to recover Yuhang and other places occupied by the Japanese army.
Fan Shaozeng's meritorious anti-Japanese resistance not only received various commendations from the Nanjing government, dozens of medals and medals, and the number of troops was expanded, but also won the hearts of the people. Fan Shaozeng often comforted the people, once saying: When fighting the Japanese, it is not the common people who help them, or they cannot win the battle, and if they do not fight the battle well, the people will spit on us.
1942 was the peak of Fan Shaozeng's resistance to Japan, and on May 28 of that year, in the Lanxi area of Zhejiang Province, he killed Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army. Only one day later, Fan Shaozeng's troops blew up Kono, the commander of the Brigade of major generals of the Japanese Forty Division, to serious injuries.
Fan Shaozeng killed and injured two senior Japanese generals in two days, not to mention the death of the Japanese division commander, causing a very large impact. Despite this, Fan Shaozeng not only did not receive any practical commendations, but was removed from his post by Chiang Kai-shek and became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Tenth Army in name only. Fan Shaozeng could bear this anger, and he began to dislike Chiang Kai-shek and resigned his official post and returned to his hometown.
Educating their own Red Guard sons?
During the Liberation War, Fan Shaozeng was indifferent to the civil war and no longer fought for the old Chiang Kai-shek. Secretly, he secretly helped the People's Liberation Army in the Soviet zone, transporting medicines, paper and other items to the liberated areas. In 1949, Fan Shaozeng led more than 20,000 people to revolt in Sanhui Town, Qu County, and became an uprising general.
In terms of private life, Fan Shaozeng is more special, he married a total of 40 aunts. In the old warlord period, it was okay for a man to marry multiple wives, and since the new China had come, Fan Shaozeng's behavior was not allowed, and he finally chose his eighteen aunt Yang Xiuqiong as his wife, and the rest of the aunts were disbanded.
During the special period, the whole country was in chaos, and Fan Shaozeng's son, Fan Laosan, did not know the situation, was seduced by wrong ideas, and was young and ignorant. One day, Fan Laosan announced at home that he would "rebel" and told his old father, Fan Shaozeng, that he was an old warlord and wanted to break off the father-son relationship.
When Fan Shaozeng heard this Red Guard son slander himself like this, he was angry and said to Fan Laosan: Lao Tzu is a revolutionary cadre, did the turtle son see it? Commander-in-Chief Zhu De personally presented me with a certificate. Angered by his own children, Fan Shaozeng found a shotgun from the room and yelled at Fan Laosan: You are going to turn the sky upside down, eat a few dry meals here and talk nonsense, see Lao Tzu does not shoot you this unfilial son.
epilogue
Seeing that his old father had moved ZhenGe, Fan Laosan, who was worried that he had really been shot, rushed to hold his head and run away. Fan Shaozeng's courage to fight the Red Guards at that time required a lot of courage, perhaps because of his son, who was bolder. In his later years, Fan Shaozeng was rehabilitated, taken care of by the state, and did not worry about food and clothing. On March 5, 1977, Fan Shaozeng died in Zhengzhou at the age of 83.
Fan Shaozeng is a man of true temperament, he is not ambiguous in the national righteousness, he went out of Sichuan to resist Japan and fight devils actively, and he also made some achievements, and was loved by the common people. Although Fan Shaozeng served in the old army, as a Chinese, he was still excellent, upright, sensible, clear in the face of right and wrong, and lived clearly and thoroughly.
