Chen Jincheng

Chen Jincheng (1904-1983), general of Kuomintang, famous patriotic general and librarian of Jiangsu literature and history museum. Also known as Chen Jingcheng, Chen Jinfu, Quanjiao Jieshou street. Chen was admitted to the Chinese Kuomintang army academy in December 1924. In the 18th year of the Republic of China, he was the commander of the first battalion of the fifth regiment of the third brigade of the first division of the national revolutionary army. In the 20th year of the Republic of China, he served as the commander of the 699th regiment of the 33rd independent brigade of the second army of Kaifeng. In the 28th year of the Republic of China, he served as the major commander of the fourth corps of the 16th phase of the seventh branch of the Central Army Academy of military officers, and later promoted to the division commander of Hu zongnan. In the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army launched the "Hunan Guangxi war" and went south to Guangxi, invaded Guizhou, and endangered Chongqing, its capital. Chen Jincheng division was airlifted to Guizhou to prevent blocking, and fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Dushan. After the Japanese army withdrew from Guizhou, Chen was promoted to military commander. In the 37th year of the Republic of China, Chen served in the second appeasement area of the Kuomintang, first as the commander of the 45th division of the reorganized army, and then as the commander of the 96th army. At noon on June 3, 1946 (the 35th year of the Republic of China), Chiang Kai Shek and his wife flew from Peking to Jinan. Xingyuan was set up in the ninth theater command of the air force.

In 1959, the central government issued an amnesty order, and Chen Jincheng was released as a librarian of Jiangsu literature and history museum. He lived in Nanjing and provided a lot of literature and history materials. He died in January 1983.

Life of the characters

Chen Jincheng, the capital of Chinese characters, changed his words later. He was born in Jieshou Town, Quanjiao County, Anhui Province on March 5, 1904. Chen family has been engaged in business for generations and has a relatively wealthy family. Chen Jincheng has received a good education since childhood. After graduating from the county middle school in 1921, he was admitted to the Nanjing sericulture school adjacent to Quanjiao. During his schooling, Chen Jincheng witnessed the bullying of China by foreign powers and the incompetence of the Beiyang government, which made him deeply realize the necessity of saving the country. After receiving the influence of revolutionary thought, he thought that only using the gun to overthrow the existing corrupt government and rebuild a democratic country is the way to save the country. Chen Jincheng, who returned home after graduating from sericulture school in 1924, heard that his middle school classmates had applied for the first phase of Huangpu Military Academy, and told his elders that he also wanted to apply for Huangpu Military Academy. As a result, his parents expressed their opposition, but his uncle Sheng zhuxu expressed his support. It happened that Sheng zhuxu's student Yang Hu was serving as the division commander of the 1st division of the 2nd army of the northern expedition in Guangdong. Chen Jincheng took his uncle's letter of introduction and went to Guangdong to study alone. When Chen Jincheng arrived in Guangdong, he learned that the first phase of Huangpu Military Academy had been completed, but he had to work as an assignment in the division headquarters of Yang Hu's first division. A few days later, Wu Tiecheng, director of the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, held a military lecture hall for the guards. Chen Jincheng, who was eager to learn, immediately resigned and entered the lecture hall to prepare for the first place. In October 1924, the guard army lecture hall was ordered to be merged into the Huangpu Military Academy, which is undoubtedly an exciting thing for Chen Jincheng. His long-standing dream is finally coming true. After the merging process, Chen Jincheng was enrolled in the second engineering division of Huangpu Military Academy with excellent examination results. Due to the lack of engineering training equipment in the Military Academy at that time, it was difficult for the cadets to master engineering skills. Chen Jincheng applied to be transferred to the infantry division and was assigned to the second team. Chen Jincheng was diligent and hardworking during his study in Huangpu Military Academy, and his achievements were always among the best. He was appointed as the study group leader by Gao Ziju, the leader of the second team. Later, under the introduction of Hui Dongsheng, the captain of the District, he joined the Federation of young soldiers. The young servicemen's Federation is a group organized by Communist Party members, while the sun Wenshi society, which is organized by National Party members, is in sharp contrast with the young servicemen's Federation. Due to the political differences between the two organizations, the two sides often have disputes, which eventually led to the shooting incident. In March 1926, President Jiang Zhongzheng ordered the dissolution of the youth military Association. The Communist Party was forced to accept the order for the smooth cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Since Chen Jincheng is not a communist, he did not participate in the dispute between the two sessions. In addition, he was good at communication and had extensive contacts among the cadets of the first, second and third phases of the military academy. Hu zongnan (first phase) and Wang Yaowu (third phase), who later became important senior generals in the army, became good friends with him. Under the influence of Hu zongnan, Leng Xin and others, Chen Jincheng left the association and joined the sun society. So when the Youth League was forced to disband, Chen Jincheng, who is already the company commander, was not affected at all, and he secretly congratulated himself on his timely transfer. In January 1925, Chen Jincheng, who was studying in the military academy, was incorporated into the student army and led by President Jiang Zhongzheng to take part in the eastern expedition against Chen Jiongming. In several battles such as Danshui and Mianhu, Chen Jincheng took part in siege while studying military courses, which enabled him to grow up rapidly in actual combat. After two months, the eastern expedition finally put down Chen Jiongming's rebellion. Chen Jincheng completed his studies in Chaoshan branch school and was assigned to the 1st Battalion of the 1st regiment of the military academy as the platoon leader. After Chen Jiongming's rebellion, the Yunnan Guangxi warlords Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan launched another rebellion in Guangzhou. In June 1925, Chen Jincheng went to Guangzhou with the army to quell the rebellion of Yang and Liu. During the battle, Chen Jincheng always took the lead and set an example. This was appreciated by the battalion commander Hui Dongsheng, so he was removed by Zhen as a trainee and served as the platoon commander of the second lieutenant. On August 26, 1925, the first teaching regiment was incorporated into the first division of the National Revolutionary Army, and Chen Jincheng was transferred to the division headquarters of the first division as the Lieutenant's staff officer. For Chen Jincheng, who has not yet graduated from the military academy, but is already a lieutenant in the army, it's really a bit inconceivable. A week later, on September 6, the second phase cadets of the Military Academy who delayed their graduation finally got their long-awaited diplomas and held a graduation ceremony. Chen Jincheng finally got his wish and graduated from Huangpu Military Academy. At the same time as he graduated from the military academy, he got the letter of appointment of the captain's staff officer. It is rare for the students of the second phase of Huangpu Military Academy who completed their studies in April 1925 and formally graduated in September to become a captain in only five months. On the other hand, the demand for officers in the National Revolutionary Army at that time was also very urgent. In October 1925, Chen Jincheng took part in the second eastern expedition against Chen Jiongming. In the battle of attacking Huizhou City, huidongsheng (then the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 4th regiment), who was the superior of Chen Jincheng, took over the head of the 4th regiment of the 2nd Division (Liu Yaochen, the former head of the 2nd division, died in the siege). After Huidong was promoted to office, he asked Chen Jincheng, the chief of the division headquarters of the 1st division, to be the party representative of the major of the 4th regiment. Chen Jincheng, however, preferred to be transferred to the rank of team member rather than political work, so he was appointed captain of the 2nd Battalion of the 4th regiment by Hui Dongsheng. After the second eastern expedition, the fourth regiment went to Guangzhou for training. On February 26, 1926, Wang MaoGong, the commander of the second division, was removed from his post (actually fighting with each other in the army) for the charge of "conspiracy". Liu Zhi, the successor of the second division, readjusted his personnel. Among them, Hui Dongsheng, the head of the 4th regiment, was transferred to the head of the 6th regiment, while Chen Jincheng was also transferred to be the captain of the 4th company of the 2nd Battalion of the 6th regiment.

Main story

The northern expedition to ELU reorganized the Gan Army

On July 9, 1926, in accordance with the will of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the national government vowed to launch a northern expedition in Guangzhou. Chen Jincheng's second division was organized as the general reserve team, following the main force of the first army along the Guangdong Han railway line, to attack the direct warlord Wu Peifu. On August 30, the 2nd division, following the independent regiment of the 4th Army, arrived in Wuchang, Hubei Province and took part in the attack on Wuchang. Because Wuchang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain outside the city is flat and open, which caused heavy losses to the siege troops. in order to capture Wuchang as soon as possible, the general headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army decided to launch a general attack at dawn on September 3 after the arrival of various reinforcements, and first of all, all units should organize death squads to take the lead in attacking the city. At that time, Chen Jincheng, the company commander of the 6th regiment, and the company and platoon leaders of other departments all rushed to sign up. Finally, together with the three company leaders of the 1st, 4th and 7th companies, he was selected as the leader of the death squads by the regiment headquarters. With the order of the general attack, the officers and men of the death squads of the 6th regiment began to attack Wushengmen. The death squads bravely ascended the city and fought fiercely with the enemy defending the city. However, due to the lack of backup, most of them died in the city. As the leader of the Death Squadron, Chen Jincheng was shot in the chest. He went to the top of the city twice to fight. Finally, he was rescued by the rescue team because of his heavy injury. After the failure of the first general attack, the Northern Expedition army launched several attacks in succession, and finally captured Wuchang on October 10 and captured Liu Yuchun, the commander-in-chief of the garrison. Chen Jincheng was sent to Nanchang hospital for treatment because of his serious injury. Considering that Chen Jincheng is seriously injured and needs a long time of cultivation, as well as his heroic performance in attack, the division headquarters can promote him to be attached to the 5th regiment major in December, so that he can receive treatment at ease in the rear. On June 9, 1927, Chen Jincheng, who was fully recovered, was transferred to the post of commander of the Political Department of the 31st army. The 31st army was adapted from Bai Baoshan and Zhang Zhongli, the Allied forces of the five provinces who surrendered to the national government. Although the Ministry joined the revolutionary ranks, it did not
