Life of the characters

Early experience

On October 29, 1915 (the fourth year of the Republic of China), Wang Jinshan was born in xujiawan, Chenghe village, Taohua district (now Gaoqiao Town), Huang'an County, Hubei Province. He lost his mother when he was very young. He started herding cattle at the age of 8 and worked as a long-term worker for the landlord at the age of 13.

He once served as platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander and deputy division commander of the 10th division of the 4th Red Army, and division commander of the 93rd division of the 31st Red Army. He participated in the anti "encirclement and suppression" campaign in the Hubei Henan Anhui Soviet Area, the anti "encirclement" campaign in the Sichuan Shaanxi Soviet Area, and the long march of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. He was brave and indomitable, and had been given the nickname of "King madman".

In June 1930 (the 19th year of the Republic of China), Buji joined the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army at the age of 15 and served as a soldier of the fifth company of the third regiment of the first division of the first Red Army. In September, he joined the Communist Youth Corps. In 1930, Wang Jinshan, who was only 15 years old, was red eyed in a fight with a big Kuomintang soldier. After he was seriously injured, he cut with a knife and bit with his teeth, and finally rolled down the cliff with the big Kuomintang soldier in his arms. The Kuomintang soldier died on the spot. Wang Jinshan survived with a hole punched in his head by a cone-shaped stone. From then on, his comrades in arms all called him "King madman".

In February 1931 (the 20th year of the Republic of China), he served as the monitor and platoon leader of the machine gun company of the 30th regiment of the 10th division of the Fourth Red Army.

In 1932, he joined the Communist Party of China.

In the autumn of 1933 (the 22nd year of the Republic of China), the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army met the "six way siege" of Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang, and Wang Jinshan, as the head of the red 28 regiment, charged at the front line with a knife and a gun. In the defensive war, the 28th regiment almost ran out, and Wang Jinshan, head of the regiment, still stood under the red flag at the forefront of the battle. The following summer, the Red Army turned to the counter offensive. The 28th regiment pursued the north and was besieged by fan Shaozeng, the well-known "teacher Ha'er". Wang Jinshan was brave and led the regiment to kill. At last, fan Shaozeng's whole brigade was made dumplings by an incomplete group of Wang Jinshan.

In April 1935 (the 24th year of the Republic of China), the Fourth Front Army of the red army launched another fierce battle with the Sichuan army in Jiangyou. An enemy suddenly broke through the defensive position of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army and developed to the position of the Red Army. Commander Xu Shiyou rushed into the 28th regiment as a reserve team to launch a counter charge. After receiving the order, Wang Jinshan immediately led the troops to rush to the enemy with big flags and bayonets. In the rain of bullets, Wang Jinshan was shot in the chest and immediately fell into a coma. He was carried down from the position and the morale of the troops was affected. Xu Xiangqian, the commander in chief, rushed up with a pistol, shouting the name of the general: "Wang Jinshan! Wang Jinshan Wang Jinshan was soon awakened by the voice of the commander-in-chief. When he found that he was not beside the red flag, he immediately ordered the soldiers to carry him back under the red flag and command the fight again until he was hit in the head by a bullet and fainted beside Xu Qianqian.

In 1936 (the 25th year of the Republic of China), Wang Jinshan studied in the Red Army University. In the autumn of 1936, he went north and joined forces in Huining, Gansu Province in October. The headquarters took part in the battle of Mount castle.

In the middle and late October of 1937 (the 26th year of the Republic of China), Liu Bocheng ordered Chen Geng to set up an ambush in Qigen village in Niangziguan area of Shanxi Province to attack the Japanese army. Wang Jinshan, then deputy head of the 772 regiment of the 129th division, led five companies to ambush in Qigen village and jiananyu. The troops were only 10 meters away from the road the Japanese army must pass, but no trace was exposed. During the battle, Wang Jinshan's troops ambushed and annihilated more than 300 people in the logistics unit of the 20th division of the Japanese army cleanly. Wang Jinshan's troops only suffered more than 10 casualties, and the spoils seized were carried all day and night. Two days later, Wang Jinshan followed Liu Bocheng's plan and opposed the military strategist's rule of "no more victories". Another ambush was set up near the same place and more than 100 Japanese soldiers were annihilated. Within three days, Wang Jinshan carried out two ambushes, annihilated more than 400 Japanese soldiers and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition and equipment. A British military scientist listed the campaign as one of the top ten classic tactics in the world.

In 1943 (the thirty second year of the Republic of China), he also served as commander of the second division of Taiyue military region. In October of the same year, he was ordered to lead a regiment to Yan'an. When passing through hanlue village in the northeast of Linfen, Shanxi Province, he took the initiative to capture fighter planes to ambush the Japanese army, and annihilated at one stroke the head of the major general brigade of the "battlefield observation regiment" of the North China front army of the Japanese army, and more than 120 officers below, who cooperated with Taiyue The Japanese Army played an important role in smashing the Japanese army in the Japanese base area.

He led the army to take part in the Shangdang campaign, Handan campaign, Dingtao campaign, Dabieshan campaign and Huaihai Campaign.

In September 1946 (the 35th year of the Republic of China), the battle of dayanghu in the battle of Dingtao was the first vicious battle after Liu Deng's army sent troops to Taihang Mountain. When Liu and Deng soldiers went to Longhai, they encountered the pressure of the national army. Wang Jinshan, commander of the sixth column, clapped his case and issued a military order: "we will fight the sixth column resolutely! There's only one brigade left. I'll be the brigade commander! I'll be the head of the regiment! I'm the company commander! We are worthy of the party and the people of Taihang Mountain who are nurturing us! " In order to fight for Dayang lake, six companies, battalions and even regiments died, but the offensive continued unabated, eventually destroying the fighting will of Zhao Xitian's third division. This battle wiped out the main 59 regiments of the national army. Our troops were besieged, the whole three divisions were destroyed, and the whole national army collapsed. In spite of his chagrin, Chiang Kai Shek dismissed Liu Zhi, director of the Zhengzhou appeasement office.

In June 1948 (the 37th year of the Republic of China), during the battle of Xiangfan, the headquarters skillfully deployed troops according to the actual situation of the battlefield. It broke the historical practice that military strategists must seize Nanshan first when they captured Xiangyang. It boldly adopted the tactics of "leaving the mountain to attack the City and the fierce tiger to dig out the heart". It concentrated the main force to conquer Pipa mountain and Zhenwu mountain, and directly attacked Ximen. The siege troops fought bravely in less than two days After entering the city, more than 20000 defenders were annihilated and commander Kang Ze and deputy commander Guo Xunqi of the 15th appeasement area of the Kuomintang were captured. This campaign, in coordination with the campaign of encircling and annihilating Huang Baitao's regiment in the first stage of the Huaihai Campaign, became one of the five major victories in China. Zhu De once called the battle "a small model campaign", and the sixth column also enjoyed the reputation of "the best at tackling difficulties". Liu Bocheng said in his post-war comments: "in the siege of Xiangyang, the six vertical lines under the command of Wang Jinshan played a leading role."

In 1949, he served as deputy commander of the third corps of the second field army, commander and political commissar of the 12th army, and led his troops to participate in the cross river campaign and the southwest campaign.

In 1950, he served as commander of the East Sichuan military region and President of the East Sichuan Branch of Southwest Military and Political University of the Chinese people's Liberation Army.

In 1951, he participated in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, served as the deputy commander of the third corps of the Chinese people's Volunteer Army, participated in the fifth campaign and the Shangganling campaign, and twice won the first level Medal of independence and freedom of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

He put in a lot of firepower and poured hundreds of thousands of shells and hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs into the Shangganling highland, the defense area of the 15th army led by Qin Jiwei every day. While the 15th army was killing each other, it also suffered heavy casualties On the seventh day, the 45th division of the 15th army was almost finished. At the critical moment, Wang Jinshan ordered Li Desheng's two divisions and four regiments of the 12th army to return to the front line and fight. Under the command of Qin Jiwei, another Katyusha artillery regiment was transferred to stick to the unknown highland for 43 days.
