There are countless legendary heroes in the People's Liberation Army, one of whom learned martial arts from the former QingWu from a young master and trained a strong southern fist, and even Xu Shiyou, who had practiced Shaolin Kung Fu, also admired the competition, but only played a draw. As for his revolutionary resume, he was even much older and higher than Xu Shiyou. He was also an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, and Chen Geng Lin Biao was his student. Jiang Shi was very attached to him and wanted to hire him as the director of his attendant room, but he touched a nose of ash. This legendary general with a very rich life experience is the founding general Chen Qihan.
Chen Qihan, born in 1897, a native of Xingguo, Jiangxi, learned Nanquan from the former Qingwu people since childhood, and went to primary and secondary schools, was enlightened by modern patriotic thought, and has a long-term desire to serve the country.
The young Chen Qihan applied for the famous Yunnan Daowutang Shaoguan Branch School, and after graduating from the military academy, he entered the Ganjun Army.
However, Chen Qihan hated the warlord melee, and in 1924 he abandoned his post and went south to Guangzhou, where he was appointed captain of the Guangdong Guard Army's Daowutang District and district captain of the Guijun Officer School.
The situation of the Guijun Officer School was the same as that of the Gui warlords at that time, with the distinction of "new Gui" and "old Gui", with mixed fish and dragons, pulling gangs and factions with each other, and fighting openly and secretly.
At that time, there was an instructor at the Gui Military Academy who was a boxer and loved to use the method of "using martial arts to attract people or intimidate people". Because Chen Qihan's superior military qualities were high in prestige among instructors and cadets, he felt that Chen Qihan's momentum was suppressing him, so he wanted to strike at Chen Qihan, and when he heard that Chen Qihan knew martial arts, he went to the door and asked for "practical discussion."
Chen Qihan refused to take over at first because he didn't want to entangle with him, but who knew that this person had spread rumors everywhere, saying that Chen Qihan was a coward, a coward, and unworthy of being a soldier, let alone an instructor. The trainees and other instructors were upset for Chen Qihan, and Chen Qihan did not look good at first, and he also intended to kill some evil forces in the school, so he accepted the challenge of this instructor.
On the day of the competition, the school's instructors and students all came to watch the battle, this arrogant guy, at first glance at so many people, was even more arrogant, his mind was also hot, he didn't consider any tactics at all, and it was a fierce fist and foot attack.
Chen Qihan did not pick up the move at the height of his arrogance at the beginning, first he was flexible to dodge, and after a few moves, this guy's flaws also came out, Chen Qihan hit this guy's cheek with a heavy punch, and suddenly knocked him unconscious! The Gui instructor, who woke up half a day later, never dared to provoke again.

Later, Sun Yat-sen established the Whampoa Military Academy. When the news came, Chen Qihan, who was deeply disappointed by the strong warlord habits of the Gui Military Academy, saw hope, so he returned to Guangzhou and became an instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy, responsible for the teaching work of the student team. Lin Zong, Liu Zhidan, Wu Zhonghao and other students all became his students, and followed Chen Qihan to quell the rebellion of the Guangzhou Merchant Group and the two eastern expeditions.
At this time, during the period of the Great Revolution of joint cooperation, Chen Qihan began to look around for organizations. It just so happened that Chen Qihan often went to the Guangzhou Peasant Movement Training Institute to listen to lectures, and when he heard the chairman's wonderful speech, he suddenly opened up and for the first time had the feeling of really finding the direction of life.
At that time, Jiang Shi also attached great importance to Chen Qihan and co-opted him in the military academy, but Chen Qihanzhi was not an official, but in pursuing revolutionary ideals. He took a group of trainees from the peasant training institute back to his hometown of Jiangxi to carry out the agricultural movement, and made a prosperous scene in Gannan Province.
However, just when the prospects of the revolution were bright, Jiang Wang betrayed one after another and raised a butcher knife to kill the revolutionary volunteers. Jiang Shi did not know that Chen Qihan had joined us, and wrote to Chen Qihan, wanting him to serve as the director of his "attendant room". This attendant room can be described as The most trusted confidant of the Jiang clan, and the position of director is the most trusted talent of the Chiang clan, which shows the importance that the Jiang clan attaches to Chen Qihan.
What Jiang Shiwan did not expect was that Chen Qihan scoffed at this and did not reply at all. At this time, he was entrusted by the organization to assist Zhu De in creating the Third Army Officers' Teaching Corps in Nanchang, serving as the secretary and chief of staff, and at the same time responsible for managing the precious radio and password, and it was through this radio that the Nanchang uprising troops and Wuhan got in touch.
After the Nanchang Uprising, the rebel forces chose to go south to Guangdong to hold a city riot, but they failed, and Chen Qihan was covering the main force to go south, but also scattered due to the outnumbered troops. Chen Qihan was not discouraged, and returned to Jiangxi with a small number of people to carry out the peasant movement and held the Gannan Uprising, he realized that the revolution must be launched first in the countryside where the enemy's strength was weak, so as to have a chance of victory, so he led his team to carry out guerrilla warfare in the rural areas of Xingguo, repeatedly defeating enemy troops whose strength was far stronger than theirs.
The enemy became angry and sent troops to Chen Qihan's hometown, killing his two younger brothers and burning down his family's house. The massacre of the enemy did not frighten Chen Qihan, but on the contrary strengthened his conviction in struggle, and under his leadership, the red base area in Gannan became larger and larger, and was even well known to the chairman and commander-in-chief Zhu who were far away in Jinggangshan.
The chairman was determined to get out of the narrow world and open up a broader base area, so he led the Fourth Army of the Red Army to jump out of the enemy's encirclement and come to Chen Qihan's Gannan base area. When the Zhumao Red Army came to Xingguo, it was immediately attracted by the new atmosphere here, and the chairman could not help but praise "Chen Qihan as a banner of the Revolution in Gannan Province." Gannan later became the core area of the Soviet Union, which was inseparable from Chen Qihan's unremitting efforts.
Chen Qihan later served as the chief of staff of the Red Fourth Army and the Red Third Army, and participated in the 123rd anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. In 1933, Wang Ming ascended to the throne, the chairman was excluded, and Chen Qihan was also excluded. After the Start of the Long March, after the Zunyi Conference, the chairman regained command of the troops, and Chen Qihan also resumed his command post.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Chiang Kai-shek organized heavy troops to encircle and suppress it, in an attempt to completely annihilate the Red Army taking advantage of the fact that it was seriously injured in the Long March and had an unstable foothold in northern Shaanxi. At that time, the main strength of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was well preserved by Xu Haidong's Red Fifteenth Army, and the chairman sent Chen Qihan to serve as the chief of staff of Xu Haidong's Red Fifteenth Regiment Army, assisting the Red Fifteenth Army in the eastern and western expeditions, and consolidating the northern Shaanxi base area.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Qihan served as the commander of the Suide Garrison District, defending the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and the eastern gate of Yan'an, and he commanded five regiments under his command to deploy along the Yellow River to guard against the Japanese army.
The Japanese army in north China regarded the Eighth Route Army as a first-class enemy, and Yan'an in northern Shaanxi became the "nail in the eye and a thorn in the flesh" of the Japanese army. From April 1938 to June 1939, the Invading Japanese Army repeatedly attempted to cross the Yellow River and attack Yan'an, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.
Chen Qihan calmly responded to the battle, personally leading his troops to block the attack on the west bank of the Yellow River, relying on the rushing river of the Yellow River, he saw that the Japanese Kou could only cross the river in countless small rubber boats, and heavy weapons could not play a role at all, so he was doubly confident and determined to adopt the tactic of "half crossing and attacking" to concentrate firepower and attack the Japanese troops who tried to cross the river, and the Japanese army suffered a heavy setback.
Chen Qihan did not blindly rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River, he took the initiative to attack, sent troops to detour the Japanese flank, launched a surprise attack, cut off the enemy's supply line, attacked the Japanese army back and forth, and finally won the victory in smashing the Japanese army's river crossing operation, defending Yan'an in northern Shaanxi, making it a stable rear area during the War of Resistance.
The Japanese army, which had always been arrogant and arrogant in the Chinese battlefield, always looked at the river and sighed throughout the war of resistance and could not move forward, which was in stark contrast to the military operations of the Japanese army in the kuomintang areas that often easily crossed several provinces.
In 1945, just after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek planned a new round of war, and the clouds of war once again shrouded China.
As the most developed heavy industrial base in old China, the northeast is of great strategic significance, and both sides understand that whoever seizes the northeast first will have the opportunity to seize the opportunity in the great decisive battle that will affect China's future destiny. Chen Qihan rushed to the northeast with General Manager Lin to open up new base areas, successively served as chief of staff of the Jireliao Military Region, the Eastern Manchuria Military Region, the Liaoning Military Region, and the Northeast Military Region, took part in almost all major battles in the entire Northeast Liberation War, and made contributions to the liberation of northeast China.
In March 1949, Chen Qihan went south with the Siye Army. In June, Chen Qihan was appointed commander of his hometown Jiangxi Provincial Military District. In the early days of liberation, many remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's army were defeated and turned into bandits, and suppressing bandits was an arduous struggle, Chen Qihan personally led the troops to suppress bandits, eliminated and cleaned up more than 50,000 bandits, and the bandits in Jiangxi were eliminated.
With the gradual regularization of the people's army, the military court was established in 1953, and the chairman named Chen Qihan as its president. In 1955, Chen Qihan was awarded the title of lieutenant general and finally general. Chen Qihan did not value power and fame, and in 1957, when he turned 60 years old, he took the initiative to ask for retirement, giving way to young and energetic young people.
After Chen Qihan retired, he ushered in a new challenge. This challenger made him extra happy.
Originally, some people already knew that Chen Qihan was a master of martial arts and wanted to compete with him, but in the past, they fought in different positions and on different fronts, and they always had a rare opportunity.
Chen Qihan retired, and finally had time, this challenger came to the door, this person is no one else, it is the "Xu monk" who studied martial arts in Shaolin for many years and finally hit the mountain gate with excellent martial arts - Xu Shiyou.
Although Chen Qihan is old, he often practices boxing. Xu Shiyou was interested in playing, and he also gladly appeared on the scene and played a set of southern fists. Southern Fist emphasizes a solid and powerful posture, Chen Qihan's set of Southern Fists beat tigers and tigers, Xu Shiyou saw it, couldn't stop cheering, and also played a Shaolin Fist all the way, which also made Chen Qihan praise. The two veterans talked about wine and practiced martial arts, which became a good story.
