This expert of the Red Army has high martial arts, so he may want to compete with him. He served as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense.

1934165438+1In late October, the Long March of the Central Red Army broke through Xiaoshui and crossed Dao County. The Fourth Regiment of the Second Division of the Red Army Corps was headed by Geng Biao, the head of the regiment, and Yang Chengwu, the political commissar, and advanced to Xiangjiang, the last blockade line established by the * * * Army.

Zhongge Military Commission chose the location of crossing the Xiangjiang River between the border and Fenghuangkou, and ordered the Red Army Corps to cross the river from the right side, the Red Army Corps to cross the river from the left side, and the Red Army Corps and the Hong Jiu Army Corps to cross the river from the rear, covering the central column to cross the river.

The original deployment of the Red Army Corps was that the first division marched left and the second division marched right, and won the title and the whole state at the same time. However, when the Fourth Regiment of the Second Division set out from Daozhou and headed for Xiangjiang River, the First Division was still on the west bank of Xiaoshui.

Lin Biao, head of the Red Army Corps, had to adjust the deployment and hand over all the tasks to the Second Division. Lin Biao confessed: The soldiers are flying at high speed, so we can't wait. Your 4th Regiment grabbed the front position of the left wing first, and then retreated to the 2nd Division in Quanzhou, the right wing.

The fourth regiment of the second division must be both "left" and "right" avant-garde regiments. When they entered the border area and ran on the highway in Gui Xiang, they were only 5 kilometers away from the troops sent by the * * * army.

An unprecedented battle has begun.

Right one Geng Biao, right two Luo Ruiqing, right three Yang Dezhi, right four Yang Chengwu.

Yang Chengwu, the political commissar, later recalled: "The enemy fell to the ground like sorghum stalks destroyed by the storm, but they beat back a batch and rushed up, and beat back a batch and rushed up. From long-range shooting to close-range shooting, from shooting to stabbing, smoke and dust are rolling, knives are shining, and the sound of shouting and killing is shocking. "

"Memoirs of Geng Biao" also describes that during the Xiangjiang Campaign, enemy bullets hit the headquarters of Gongsi Regiment, and the guards pulled Geng Biao back. Geng Biao roared "Bring the sabre". During the historical period of Xiangjiang Campaign, Geng Biao suffered from malaria and was weak from time to time. As a result, Geng Biao rushed to the enemy's hidden position. Under one knife, he cleaned up a platoon of the enemy, covered in enemy brains, and retched himself.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, Geng Biao's martial arts, which he had practiced since childhood, came in handy.

This bloody battle of Xiangjiang River is the most tragic and crucial battle in the Long March of the Central Red Army. The 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division alone blocked the * * * Army15th Regiment, and the Red Army finally broke through successfully, with Geng Biao and Yang Chengwu taking great credit.

After the Long March, Geng Biao and others studied at the People's Anti-Japanese Red Army University in China, and later the Red Fourth Army also went to northern Shaanxi, and Xu also came to study at the Red Army University. One day, while walking on the playground, Xu met Geng Biao and wanted to compete with Geng Biao. Geng Biao said to Xu, "We may not be able to beat each other. Besides, it's not appropriate for anyone to fight, so let's fight by ourselves. "

So, Xu Youshi performed a set of boxing techniques in front of Geng Biao, which won a burst of applause from Geng Biao. Geng Biao said in his memoirs: Xu You's family really played a set of boxing, and Shaolin was full of flavor, which was really powerful and could carry the tripod. That invincible style is integrated with his straightforward, rough and fearless personality.

Geng Biao

Many people on the Internet say that Geng Biao is better at martial arts than Xu. In fact, among the founding generals, many people have high martial arts skills, such as He Long, Xu Haidong, He, He, and so on. Their main achievements are reflected in leading troops to fight. It is of little significance to discuss personal martial arts.

Geng Biao is a native of Liling, Hunan Province. He is a fellow villager of Liling, together with Li, the famous leader of our party in the early days, and Zuo Quan, Cai, Yang Dezhi, Song, Zhong, Zhu, Cheng Qian and Chen Mingren, the famous uprising generals of our army.

At the age of 7, Geng Biao fled to Shuikoushan, Changning County, southern Hunan with his parents, and worked as a child laborer in lead-zinc mine, 13 years old. Take an active part in the workers' struggle under the education and guidance of Shuikoushan Party Organization.

In Shuikou Mountain, Geng Biao met his revolutionary mentor Jiang Xianyun. Jiang Xianyun, a prodigy in Huangpu, is a favorite figure of Chairman Mao and Chiang Kai-shek.

1926, Geng Biao formed and led the Red Guards of peasants to participate in Liling riots, and later served as the captains of Liu (Yang) and Miao (Ling) guerrillas. 1September, 930, led guerrillas to join the Red Army, and served as the staff officer of the ninth division of the Red Army, the captain of the division cadre teaching team, the director of the operational education department, and the commander of the second division of the Red Army.

Geng Biao's martial arts master as a child was his father Geng Chunan. Geng Chun 'an was a very famous Wulin hero at that time, and was also given a pair of tiger-headed double hooks by the emperor, which was called "double-hook hero".

Geng Biao also has a unique skill: catch the ponytail and get on the horse.

After the Central Red Army and the Red Fourth Front Army joined forces, the Central Committee held a meeting at Lianghekou and decided to continue northward. Just as the Red Army was gearing up, Geng Biao's Ruijin mule suddenly got lost. Geng Biao took some soldiers and went to look for horses nearby.

After climbing several mountains, they found some horses on a vast grassland. Geng Biao took a fancy to a white horse with black hooves and decided to tame it. But these horses are used to laissez-faire, inaccessible and without harness. It is very difficult to hand them over. Geng Biao ran after the horse with his bare hands, and finally caught up with it and grabbed its tail. The horse was in great pain and sank in the second half. Geng Biao took advantage of the situation and was unceremoniously thrown down by the horse. Geng Biao's stubborn temper came up, continued to chase, and caught up with the horse. After a whole day's struggle, he rolled into a clay figurine and the horse was finally subdued. So this skill of grasping the tail and getting on the horse became Geng Biao's unique skill.

Later, the Central Red Army was renamed the Shaanxi-Gansu detachment of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants and successfully arrived in northern Shaanxi. After General Geng Biao joined forces with the Red 25th Army led by Xu Haidong, he also performed the kung fu of catching ponytails and mounting horses for many times in the sports meeting held by the army.

Among China's founding generals, Geng Biao is the only one who has this kind of stunt.

The spy was affected: "My work is not done by people. Nobody cared about me when I was sick, but you took care of me. "
