Life of the characters

give up civilian pursuits to join the army

Born in a poor family, Wang Yujiu liked to listen to the stories of patriotic generals such as Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang. After graduating from primary school in 1918, he made a living and became a teacher in a rural school. When he was 18 years old in 1920, he joined the army cadre school of Zhejiang Province. In 1926, he took part in the Northern Expedition and made many achievements in the battle. He was quick to be promoted to monitor, platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment deputy and chief of staff. He was highly valued by Chen Cheng, division commander of the 21st division of the national revolutionary army. Later, he was recommended to Huangpu Military Academy (phase III) for further study. After the September 18th Incident, Wang Yujiu, 29, was promoted to the rank of commander of 587 regiment of the 98th division.

Run the army strictly

Wang Yu was very strict in governing the army. But there is no tyranny of the old warlords, nor dictatorship of the new warlords. It's about being reasonable and emotional to the soldiers. Therefore, the top and bottom of the order, strict discipline. In 1935, he led the army in Dangyang County, Hubei Province, which was once famous for its military capacity and discipline. Not only the barracks were clean and tidy, but also soldiers were allowed to repair urban and rural roads, dredge stagnant water, plant flowers and trees on the roadsides, and beautify the environment. Local gentry were invited to visit the barracks, and baojiachang was advised to establish a health system. Changbanpo Park was built in the areas of Dangyang bridge, Changbanpo and the well where Madame Mi died. The masses were mobilized to donate flowers and trees, and the soldiers were personally led to build pavilions and pavilions to decorate the area. Although it is a grass-roots creation, the small bridge and flowing water are also pleasing to the eye.

Ideological progress

In October 1933, when the Kuomintang army launched the fifth "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the Red Army in Jiangxi, Wang Yujiu's team did not have direct contact with the Red Army, but only took up the task of building roads and blockhouses. He heard that the Red Army was brave and good at fighting and witnessed the feelings of the army and the people in the Soviet area. He was deeply inspired by the political ideas and fighting spirit of the Communist Party of China. He was deeply moved by Chiang Kai Shek's policy of "keeping internal security before resisting foreign aggression". When he was lured to join the secret service organization "blue clothes society", he refused.

After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese aggressors had more and more aggressive ambitions, and the voice of the people of the whole country to resist Japan was growing. At that time, people from all walks of life in Shanghai organized Anti Japanese and national salvation groups to carry out extensive Anti Japanese propaganda, and at the same time raised funds and donations for the soldiers in front. Hao Shoulong, the Quartermaster director of Wang Yu's ninth regiment, was a patriotic soldier. Together with Ding Baoliang, the Secretary of the Communist Party of China, Hao Shoulong raised money for the Shanghai National Salvation Association organized by Zhang Naiqi and other officers. Wang Yujiu also gave generously many times. After they remitted their donations to Shanghai, Shanghai sent back some progressive books and magazines, sometimes with advertisements for enrollment of Red Army schools. At that time, the army stipulated that only Chairman Jiang's speech collection and Zeng Hu's quotations on military affairs could be read. Therefore, after receiving the books and periodicals, they could only circulate them secretly among better officers. After reading these national salvation publications, Wang Yujiu said passionately: "we are a big country with a population of 40000 and a culture of several thousand years. Can we be eaten by a tiny country of Lilliputians? I don't believe it In April 1937, Ding Baoliang and Hao Shoulong were denounced as "Communists". Hao was executed, Ding was sentenced, and Wang Yujiu was dismissed. At first, Wang Yujiu was under house arrest in Nanchang, but later he was sent to Hankou for detention.

During his house arrest and detention, Wang Yujiu wrote more than 40 diaries and 26 poems. In the poem Yu Meiren, which he wrote, there is a saying that "when you are drunk, you have no choice but to worry about your intestines. Who killed the Huns? The scholar's wish to serve his country is empty, and the sentence "sword like rainbow" is left to express his grief and helplessness.

To resume the war of resistance against Japan

After the July 7 Incident, on August 13, 1937, the Japanese invaded Shanghai. Wang Fu, as the commander of the Japanese army, went to the front line of Jiading and passed by Nanjing. He wrote a will to his wife: "my wife, Yuanqing: at this time when the strong neighbors are pressing down, the country is in crisis, and the nation is in danger, all Chinese people have the responsibility to resist the enemy and protect the land. As a soldier, I gave my life for my country. Fighting in the battlefield is a difficult time for life and death; if there is an unexpected event, we must be sad. And I hope to choose a better person. " There is a lot to be said.

After three months of battle in Songhu, Wang Yu made many achievements. In November 1938, when Shanghai was lost, Wang's Department held fast to Changshu and defended Nanjing. Wang was promoted to Deputy brigade commander of 226 brigade and later to major general brigade commander. Soon after, the 98th division was expanded into the 79th army. Xia ChuZhong was the commander of the army. Wang was promoted to the chief of the major general's staff of the 79th army. Ding Baoliang was the Secretary of the military headquarters. He moved to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Nanxun in Jiangxi.

died for the country

In order to open up the Zhejiang Jiangxi line, the Japanese army attempted to "occupy Nanchang according to the situation" as early as the beginning of the war in Wuhan in 1938. After the capture of Wuhan, its headquarters immediately issued the order of "capture Nanchang in the coming spring". In March 1939, the Japanese army pressed Nanchang, Jiangxi Province with all its strength. The 79th army was ordered to set up defenses in Anyi and Gao'an, Jiangxi Province. On March 17, the 6th, 101st, 106th and 116th divisions of the Japanese army, under the command of Ningci Okamura, commander of the 11th army, invaded Nanchang. The 79th army was in the middle of the Japanese attack. On March 20, under the cover of more than 200 artillery fire, the Japanese Army crossed the Xiushui River and launched a fierce battle with the headquarters of the 79th army. On the 23rd, more than half of the garrison was killed and wounded. The Japanese army first fell into Anyi and then WanJiaBu and Fengxin. On the 26th, the military headquarters of the 79th army was besieged by Japanese troops in Qiuling, and the military headquarters had only one secret service company, so the situation was extremely serious.

In the early morning of March 27, the 79 army headquarters organized a breakthrough. Wang Yujiu led the spy company to attack the Japanese positions with his troops, fighting fiercely. But from the morning until noon, it failed to break through the Japanese encirclement. During the bloody battle, Wang Yu was shot in more than nine places and seriously injured. When he was carried back to the military headquarters by his subordinates, he handed over his written will and relics to commander Xia. Because of the heavy injury, his heart stopped beating that afternoon. On his deathbed, he wrote a poem in which "a bullet, an enemy, an inch of mountains and rivers, a drop of blood" was written. He died at the age of 37.

On March 28, the 79th military headquarters assembled scattered troops, selected the right breakthrough point and rearranged the breakthrough. In the evening of the same day, Ding Baoliang and a group, carrying Wang Yujiu's body, followed the commando, bypassed the Japanese outpost, and reached Wuqiao township of Gao'an county at noon on the 29th. They bought a coffin and buried the martyr on a relatively flat hillside. A wooden sign was erected in front of the grave, which read "the tomb of Wang Yujiu, chief of staff of the major general of the 79th army who died in the Anti Japanese War" as a mark.

After the death of General Wang Yujiu, the national government pursued him as a lieutenant general.

In August 1984, the Ministry of Civil Affairs recognized the revolutionary martyrs and issued the certificate of revolutionary martyrs to their relatives in Shanghai.

Liang Pingbo, then executive vice chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, wrote inscriptions for the memorial of Wang Yujiu, then Anti Japanese general, and Cai Qi, then Secretary of the Taizhou Municipal Party committee, wrote inscriptions for General Wang Yujiu: his name will last forever and his spirit will last forever. Ningxi town government also named a road Yujiu road.
