Among the top ten generals, Chen Geng is famous for his humor. Whether in battle, study, or life, chen geng always had a lot of laughter everywhere he went.
In October 1935, the Red Army met the Red Fifteenth Army in northern Shaanxi in victory, at this time, the Chiang clique, which was not willing to encircle and suppress defeat, once again sent five divisions to eliminate the Red Army in one fell swoop while the Red Army had not yet gained a foothold in northern Shaanxi.
The chairman decided to take the town of Zhiluo as the main battlefield and try to put the 109th Division of the Northeast Army of chiang kai-shek's group into the town of Zhiluo and resolutely eliminate it. In order to realize this intention, the Red Army made very good preparations, especially stipulating that, except for the main commanders, all those who were wounded or sick and could not run were allowed to stay and were not allowed to participate in the war.
Zuo Quan personally went to each division and regiment to verify the combat strength, and mobilized the wounded to stay and recuperate in the remaining places. Originally, the work was very smooth, but Chen Geng did not cooperate. Chen Geng had a relationship with Zuo Quan, an old classmate of the Huangpu Phase I, and was soft and hard, but refused to go to the left-behind place to recuperate, and had to follow the troops to the front. Zuo Quan said, I can command the troops in combat on your behalf, why don't you rest assured? Are you Chen Geng afraid that my command of the war is not as good as yours? Chen Geng said: When a new official takes office, you poured a scoop of cold water on me.
Zuo Quan saw that Chen Geng was embarrassed, so he had to arrange a stretcher for him. However, Chen Geng just refused to sit down, and in late November, on the night of the battle order, the troops rushed to besiege the town of Zhiluo, Chen Geng turned his legs and turned, always unable to keep up with the large troops, and some soldiers proposed to carry him on their backs, and Chen Geng did not refuse. However, although several soldiers were tired and sweaty, they still could not carry Chen Geng on their backs to keep up with the large troops. At this time, Chen Geng thought of the stretcher that Zuo Quan had arranged for him, and on the stretcher Chen Geng still did not forget to joke: This is really carrying the general into battle.
After a night of rapid marching, the 13th Regiment arrived at the designated location at the scheduled time and directly blocked the road from Zhiluo Town to The Eastern Section of the Hulu River. The battle began, Chen Geng commanded the troops to fight with the enemy's 109th Division for less than a round, the commander of the first battalion ran over to report, we sealed about half of the battalion of enemies, shouted to them, that is, what to do if we do not surrender? Chen Geng said, you are too anxious, less than a turn, the enemy surrendered?! A battalion commander said, this is the truth, the hard dish has not been eaten, the enemy may really be soft, leading the soldiers to stab down a few words.
After the battle was won, the stretcher team wanted to carry Chen Geng down to the position, but this time Chen Geng did not do it again, he said, the general who was carried to the position was glorious, and only the defeated general who was carried down the position was the defeated general, and I Chen Geng was not a defeated general. Hearing him say this, everyone laughed.
Don't look at Chen Geng wearing glasses, a polite look, sometimes joking, but he is a lord who laughs at the dead and does not pay for his life. At that time, a famous writer wrote a play called "Wu Zetian", please go to see it, many people after watching the play, think that the writer wrote Wu Zetian a little too much, understand everything. When Chen Geng saw that everyone was not speaking, he joked to the writer who had just joined the organization that Wu Zetian was so excellent, he understood everything, and he also understood democracy, so let's introduce her to the organization.
Chen Geng's words made the people present laugh. It is also said that General Chen Geng did not want to introduce Wu Zetian, but after watching the scene "Cai Wenji", he joked that since Cao Cao was so good, let Cao Cao fill out an application form, and Guo Lao would be the introducer to Cao Cao. Of course, this is just a rumor, and it is a very controversial rumor, and read it and enjoy it.
Another matter is that when our army first started to engage in the rank system, some people proposed that the military rank should be in the national style. Chen Geng said to the proposer, otherwise we should also plant a big flag behind the back like a singer, and plant different big flags according to the level of military rank, and the higher the level, the more they will be planted, so that it will conform to the national style. Ye Jianying laughed when he heard Chen Geng's joke, and since then no one has mentioned the topic of military rank ethnic style.
Some people evaluated Chen Geng and had to praise Chen Geng as a fierce general who was brave and good at war, but from the perspective of personality, Chen Geng was not only chivalrous and courageous, but also seemed to have some "banditry". It was a day in August 1928, when Zhang Yunyi, the founding general in Shanghai, bought a ferry ticket to rush to Guangxi to prepare for the military movement. Just as he was returning to his place to pack his bags, suddenly 4 policemen rushed in, tying Zhang Yunyi and shouting to take him to the police station. Zhang Yunyi was horrified and asked, What kind of royal law have I violated, and you want to arrest me?
The leading policeman said that someone had reported that you were selling things that you shouldn't have sold. As he spoke, a policeman found several bags of contraband-like items from the drawer of Zhang Yunyi's residence, and Zhang Yunyi was speechless.
As soon as the 4 policemen took Zhang Yunyi out of the street, they encountered a group of people blocking the way, and Zhang Yunyi thought that the opportunity had come and shouted loudly. The policeman who took the lead waved his hand and gave Zhang Yunyi a slap, and then forced something in his mouth, put on a hood, and got away.
Chen Geng of the Teko period
These 4 policemen did not take Zhang Yunyi to the police station, but came to a remote house, entered the house, the leading police reported to the police chief, the chief was shocked, asked what the hell is going on, how to wear a hood, and tie up a lot of flowers? Zhang Yunyi listened to the voice of this bureau chief very familiar, chen Geng next to him took off Zhang Yunyi's hood, Zhang Yunyi looked up, isn't this director Vice Chairman Zhou?
Vice Chairman Zhou reprimanded Chen Geng, when is it, you still make such a joke. Zhang Yunyi said, you boy is really good, aren't you afraid that I will fight with you? Chen Geng sincerely apologized to Zhang Yunyi, saying that if it were not for this bitter plan, he might have been arrested by the plainclothes agent who was squatting outside his residence. Listening to Chen Geng say this, Zhang Yunyi recalled the people who were blocking the road on the street and understood why Chen Geng wanted to give him a slap and put on a hood for him.
Chen Geng's character cultivation and life trajectory also have a great relationship with his family, although his grandfather left a testament that "the descendants of the Chen family are not allowed to join the army and not be officials", but Chen Geng's grandmother taught him swords, guns and swords, and Chen Geng's father Chen Shaochun was very supportive of the revolution. The founding general Tan Zheng served as a secretary to the chairman on Jinggang Mountain, and one day the chairman and Tan Zheng talked about the family, and they were very happy to learn that Chen Geng was Tan Zheng's brother-in-law. The chairman said, your old father-in-law is a very good man, who is willing to be charitable and charitable, and who supports us in making a revolution! Tan Zheng said that my father-in-law asked me to find Runzhi of Shaoshan Chong, and told him that Chen Shaochun of Liushupu supported his proposal and sent Chen Geng a few cubs to make a revolution, and now he sent his son-in-law Tan Zheng.
Tan Zheng is also the fourth brother-in-law of Chen Geng, Tan Zheng was 18 years old, through the matchmaker, married Chen Geng's fourth sister Chen Okra, unfortunately, two years after their marriage, Chen Okra died of illness.
According to the memories of Feng Xuefeng, Lou Shiyi and others, once in Shanghai, General Chen Geng also drank wine with Mr. Lu Xun and talked freely for an afternoon. General Chen Geng's experience was something that other generals did not have. If he had not been arrested, The general Chen Geng would not have assisted Mr. Lu Xun in writing a very influential work.
