2. Sun Dianying and the 41st Army
Sun Dianying, a native of Yongcheng, Henan, is Kuiyuan.
When Sun Dianying was a child, because his father died early, he often went in and out of the casino, and when he grew up a little, he went to the rivers and lakes alone. At that time, there were many gangs in Henan, and in the process of exploring the rivers and lakes, he gradually discovered that the temple and Taoist association was a gang that gathered believers, developed and networked, and from time to time mixed with them and gradually joined them.
Because of his brain, righteousness, and willingness to spend blood, he grabbed the hearts of most of the disciples little by little. The congregations surrounded him, and after several incidents, he became the head of the congregation. Because he was able to control the group, after several major routs, the people finally gathered again.
Around 1920, he often led people to sell tobacco and soil, and then led the people to take refuge in the town of Henan Yuxi to guard the envoy Ding Xiangling. Ding Xiangling saw that he had soldiers under him, and his subordinates not only had such a brave fighting spirit, but also almost all of them worshiped what he said as a god, so he made him the battalion commander. Sun Dianying, who became the battalion commander, was not satisfied and continued his recruitment activities, so his power continued to expand. Ding Xiangling still admired him, reorganized the troops he led, and appointed him as the commander of the mixed brigade.
In 1925, he took advantage of an opportunity to fight and led his troops to defect to the Ye Quan Department of the National Army, and Ye Quan appointed him as the commander of the Second Division. Soon, he led his troops to Shandong and defected to Zhang Zongchang. Zhang Zongchang appointed him as the commander of the Fifth Division of the Zhilu Allied Army.
In the spring of 1927, the department was reorganized into an army, and he served as the army commander and the guard of Daming Town, stationed in Zhili.
In 1928, he defected to Chiang Kai-shek, and his headquarters was the 12th Army under the command of Commander Xu Yuanquan of the Sixth Army, and he served as the commander of the army, and was ordered to garrison the area of Ma Lanyu in Jixian County, Hebei Province. That year, in order to raise military salaries, he did a wrong thing and dug up the tombs of Qianlong and Cixi......
In 1930, the department participated in the Central Plains War (Jiang Gui Feng Yan). In the Great War of the Central Plains, the anti-Chiang side in which he was located failed. In 1931, Feng Yuxiang went into the field, Zhang Xueliang led the Northeast Army into the customs, and the troops he led were under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Army, numbered the 41st Army, and he was still the commander.
117 Brigade, Brigade Commander Ding Bertin. (Deputy Brigade Commander Ji Zhanwen, Chief of Staff Zhang Yongtai.) The main brigade of the 41st Army.
Ding Boting, the word Wenhu, Henan Yanshi. During the temple fair, he was born and died with Sun Dianying, assisting Sun Dianying from a young congregation to a ...... in the meeting. He is 1.75 meters tall, slightly shorter than Sun Dianying, but he has thick eyebrows, big eyes, square ears, and a talent. To that station, the tiger's back is bear's waist, and his demeanor is graceful. Later, he became a groom in the Lilac Ling Department, and when Sun Dianying defected to the Lilac Ling Ministry, he was still introduced.
In a battle against bandits, the ghost envoy came together with Sun Dianying again. Although Sun Dianying is committed to the Ding Department and has also been respected, he has been recruiting troops, and the spirit of the big husband who fell down and got up back then is still there. Ding Boting was worshiped by his heroism and was determined to follow him from then on.
Sun Dianying later defected to Ye Quanbu, which was also his idea. Sun Dianying was promoted by Ye Quan to the commander of the Second Division, and he was appointed as the commander of the 18th Regiment.
In 1928, after Sun Bu defected to Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Dianying served as the commander of the 12th Army, and Ding Boting served as the commander of the 12th Division. He strongly disapproved of the Tanglin treasure theft, but he also knew that most of the military salary had not been settled. In order to be out of sight and out of mind, he took a long leave and went back to his hometown......
In 1930, Chiang Kai-shek's approach could neither unify the various warlords nor improve the national economy and people's livelihood, so he only attacked the southern Soviet zone on one side. There was a national opposition. He was opposed to the formation of an alliance between the army commander and Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, because he knew the combat effectiveness of his own troops and knew Chiang Kai-shek's personality better.
But he understood the commander, who was also trying to overthrow the warlord government of Chiang Kai-shek...... Because of his opposition, Sun Dianying began to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally got some supplies and equipment from Chiang Kai-shek......
The 117th Brigade was the former 12th Division. After the Great War in the Central Plains, the coalition forces were defeated. Several divisions of the 41st Army, like the Northwest Army, should be downsized. Its original 12th Division was reduced to 117 Brigade (the other two divisions were reduced to 118 Brigade and 119 Brigade).
Since the CCP sent high-ranking figures to the 41st Army to do anti-Japanese united front work, he Ding Boting has participated, and Xuanxia's father has also become friends with him. For the anti-Japanese resistance, he has long been gearing up, and he can't wait to drive the troops over and kill the devils. Like him, many Kuomintang commanders, such as Hu Zongnan, had long been preparing to fight on the anti-Japanese front......
Today, walking on the Pingre Avenue, the troops were driven and urged and rushed, and they were ahead of the other two brigades. In fact, if he doesn't rush forward, the army commander will also put his brigade at the front, the main force of the main force. In addition, Commander Sun also understands that his brigade commander is eager to kill the enemy, and he has another secret when he rushes forward to kill Ben Chifeng, that is, he wants to find his childhood sweetheart Xiaomei girl by the way......
Miss Xiaomei is in the same village as him, and they have played together since childhood...... However, as they grew up, China entered a society of warlords, and Henan was a place where natural and man-made disasters and wars were frequent, with years of famine and displacement of the poor.
Ding Boting, a teenager, mixed in the temple fair one day, hoping to be a little promising, and he could marry Xiaomei as his daughter-in-law. Xiaomei's family is also a tenant farmer, and they have eaten the last meal but not the next, just like his family. If he had a tael of silver in his hand, he would have been able to marry the girl he loved deeply, but he never earned it.
At that time, the eldest brother Sun Dianying had not yet survived to the head of the meeting, and he also racked his brains to help with this friend's suffering. Originally, Sun Dianying had a set of gambling, and his best skill was to throw dice, no matter what kind of dice, when it came to his hand, he would fiddle with it three times and two times, and he would listen to him, and he could throw as many points as he wanted.
He used the money he won to help too many of his brothers, otherwise he wouldn't always have a bunch of brothers around him. But when he wanted to win some money to help his brother marry his daughter-in-law, his luck was back...... In a hurry, he took a few of his best brothers and went to sell tobacco and soil.
That's also a headless business, not so big a measure, who took that risk? Walking from western Anhui to Shanghai, not to mention the distance, there are many bandits. They have a set of methods to deal with bandits, and bandits have the way of bandits, just give up something. The worst thing is the official errand, who eats dates without spitting out the core, and releases private camels under the guise of the public.
It was the summer of 1914, and Henan was hit by drought and then by soldiers. There is only one drought a year, and I don't know how many times a year there are military disasters. Xiaomei's family couldn't get mixed up, so her parents took their children and daughters to escape the famine. Xiaomei didn't want to leave, but how could the family leave her? Mom and Dad scolded her angrily, and the two brothers carried her on the road.
She looked in the direction of the temple fair, cried so much that her face was pale, and she fainted. Mom cried and persuaded her, saying: "Brother Bertin has no money to marry you when he comes back, you big girl with yellow flowers, marry someone, even if you are small, you have to find a family with food and drink, we can rest assured......" Mom and Dad and the two brothers were also uncomfortable, knowing that she only had Brother Bertin in her heart...... I like not to eat.
Ding Boting and the others rushed back from Shanghai for nine lives, and a month has passed. Hearing that Xiaomei's family begged for food and went to Chifeng outside the mouth, Ding Boting rolled up his sleeves to chase after him. The neighbor told him that Xiaomei looked back at him, looked at him, and cried so much that she fainted, and the two brothers carried their fainting sister on their backs...... Ding Bertin also fainted when he heard this......
Two days after he woke up, Ding Bertin was seriously ill again. It just so happened that the parents told their brother Ding Bolun that they were in the first room of daughter-in-law, and the eldest brother Sun Dianying took a look at it, and got it, let's talk about this family affair first. Birn knelt down for Burtin, and Burting pretended to be happy, laughing and laughing and tears came down.
The parents painstakingly persuaded Berting, and his father said: "Two, you will die of this heart, Xiaomei must change a daughter-in-law for her eldest brother......" Bertin heard this, and fainted again. Half a month later, he got off the kang with a weak body, and heard that there was a passing army recruiting horsemen, and he suddenly thought that he liked to ride horses the most, so he went......
The next day, Sun Dianying ran to Ding's house panting, and when he entered the door, he looked for Ding Boting, and said to his family: "I won, I won fifteen taels of silver, tell Boting to come out, I will send a few people to help him chase Xiaomei......" He said and raised the silver with his hand, and said: "If you don't believe in these silvers, you can't marry Xiaomei girl......
Burtin's parents looked at Sun Dianying who was overjoyed and speechless, and the eldest brother Bolun said sadly: "Second brother, he's been walking with a passing army for a day......
After two years as a groom, Ding Boting returned to his hometown to visit his family, and finally listened to his family's persuasion and married a virtuous girl from a neighboring village......
The 117th Brigade was straight in front, and the mountains couldn't stop it, and the water couldn't stop it, so the 41st Army's march was faster than any other......
