Main story

Changsha battle

During the second battle of Changsha, one of the main Japanese troops attempted to retreat by crossing the river secretly in Mopan Prefecture near Changsha, which was discovered by our army. General Wang Jiaben personally led all the officers and men of the 294th Regiment under him to attack quickly and set up Fortifications on the North Bank of Mopan Mountain to stop the Japanese army. The enemy launched a crazy attack on our square. Wang Jia himself led his officers and soldiers to fight with the Japanese for more than 30 hours. The enemy and us are engaged in hand to hand combat from time to time. General Wang's command was determined, and all the officers and men united to kill the enemy. More than 1000 people were killed and injured in this battle, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors and contributed to the victory of the second Changsha battle.

In the Third Battle of Changsha, General Wang Jiaben served as the garrison commander of Changsha. During the whole battle, he fought day and night in the command post, and personally inspected the positions to get a detailed understanding of the development of the front-line fighting situation and the casualties and morale of the troops, so as to make a correct adjustment of the forces at the right time. He ordered the 98th division to guard the line of Xianing harbor and Laodao river. Soon, with the support of aircraft and artillery, the main Japanese army attacked the royal position and sent powerful troops to attack the right side of the position, hoping to break through our position at one stroke. The situation was extremely critical. General Wang Jiaben received a telephone order from the commander's office of the theater of war. He personally led the 292 regiment to attack the Japanese army from the flank, delayed the Japanese army's action, prevented the Japanese army from breaking through the defense line, and waited for the main force to gather in Changsha to deploy defense and eliminate the Japanese army. In the course of Wang Jiaben's attack and advance, he launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army. Nine enemy planes constantly bombarded our battle formation. General Wang took advantage of difficulties and dangers and personally directed the battle. He ordered the commander of the 292 regiment to lead the two battalions to seize the commanding heights on both sides and resolutely obstruct the Japanese army. Inspired by General Wang's correct command and his courage to kill the enemy and serve the country, all the soldiers vowed to stick to their positions, making it difficult for the enemy to move by relying only on the temporary excavation of simple fortifications and inferior equipment. Late at night, Wang Jiaben learned that the Japanese had changed their strategy to strengthen their attack on the main position of Laodaohe. He decisively ordered the 292 regiment to leave only one battalion to cover the right side of the position. The main force quickly returned to the front line of Laodaohe command post to prepare for reinforcement. Tens of thousands of main Japanese troops stormed the main position of Laodaohe several times, and the king's troops were at a disadvantage. However, in general Wang's timely mobilization factory, with the solid position, the support of Yuelu Mountain artillery and the fighting spirit of all officers and men, they fought fiercely for two days and three nights. Our main position stood still, with Japanese corpses all over the field and many casualties. They had no choice but to retreat. Under the unified deployment of the general headquarters of the war zone, the whole army launched a pursuit. General Wang Jiaben led the 294th regiment to attack bravely, chasing the defeated Japanese army to the North Bank of the Miluo River, killing countless enemies and seizing many. Later, at the summary meeting of the theater operations, commander Wang Jiaben was awarded for his meritorious service in killing the enemy and serving the country, and won the honorary title of "General Wang Jiaben in hard battle", which was widely praised by the whole army.

Battle of Hengyang

In May 1944, the Japanese army launched the battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi on the Chinese battlefield, and attempted to open up the two railway lines of Guangdong, Hunan and Guangxi in one stroke, forcing the Chinese government to surrender and make it occupy a single piece in the occupied area of the Chinese mainland, and connect with the Japanese armed forces of China and China, and resist the attack of allied forces.
