General Wang Jinshan can be said to be a legendary figure. As a founding lieutenant general, he is a rare general in our army. He has made great contributions to the War of Resistance against Japan and Liberation. Even in the familiar TV series " Bright Sword ", one of the creative prototypes of the character Li Yunlong is Wang Jinshan.
General Wang Jinshan, who had fought for a lifetime, missed his father very much during the rest of the army. He had not returned home for nearly twenty years since he joined the army to fight.
So he sent two soldiers to his hometown to take his father over. When Wang Jinshan's father heard that his son became the leader of the People's Liberation Army and took him to enjoy his happiness, the first thing he expressed was his gratitude to Chairman Mao. He happily packed up his things and followed the two soldiers away.
was originally something to be happy about, but I didn't want to wait until the three of them walked to the train station.
Due to the negligence of the two soldiers, they went to the platform to buy things, which led to the old man walking off the railway platform. When he was curious about the train tracks, he did not want to be involved in the railway by the speeding train, and unfortunately died.
Wang Jinshan was very shocked and sad when he learned the news. So how did the two soldiers deal with it at that time?
Founding Lieutenant General - Wang Jinshan
One of the prototypes of the role of Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword".
introduces many of Li Yunlong’s personal experiences in the TV series "Bright Sword", which are similar to Wang Jinshan.
For example, in 1927, he participated in the establishment of the anti-Japanese revolutionary base in Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan and Shaanxi, and participated in the Red Army's Long March to overturn snow-capped mountains and grasslands. They are all described by Wang Jinshan's personal experience.
Not only that, Li Yunlong and Wang Jinshan in "Bright Sword" also have great similarities in character. They dare to fight and fight on the battlefield, have a brave personality, are good at commanding operations, often create miracles on the battlefield, etc. - these events are real.
, and General Wang Jinshan was even more brave. When he was the leader of the regiment, he once created a miracle of destroying an enemy with a regiment's strength. Since ancient times, a battle with less and more can be called a classic battle, while Wang Jinshan is a complete military genius.
brave and good at fighting, and never retreated
General Wang Jinshan was brave and good at fighting during the Anti-Japanese War. He not only had excellent military qualities in command, but also a good player in killing the enemy.
In October 1933, when Wang Jinshan was the leader of the 28th Regiment of the People's Liberation Army, he participated in a battle against the sixth route siege in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area.
In this battle, he led only one battalion of troops to defend a mountain and fought alone. Faced with the forces of four enemy regiments, he did not retreat at all. He led the soldiers to fight bravely and fight tenaciously, providing guarantees for the safety of our main force and avoiding the risk of the main force being cut off by the enemy's rear.
This battle is particularly fierce. Although it cannot be called defeating more with less, relying on the strength of one battalion alone can block the fierce attack of four enemy regiments, which is also a very classic battle.
In March 1953, Red Fourth Front Army broke through the enemy defense line of Jialing River . The enemy made every effort to rescue, and even used aircraft and cannons, which strongly broke through the junction of Red Army .
As the commander-in-chief Xu Xiangqian ordered Wang Jinshan to lead his 28th Regiment to regain the position of our army. At that time, Wang Jinshan had become the deputy division commander. He led the 28th Regiment to fight fiercely with the enemy. Unfortunately, he was injured and carried off the battlefield by a stretcher by a health officer.
When Xu Xiangqian came to the battlefield, he asked Wang Jinshan where he was. When Wang Jinshan heard this, he immediately asked the health officer to carry him back on a stretcher.
fights with injuries and continues to command the battle. Finally, under his command, our army regains its position and successfully reverses the situation.
"Dare to fight a war without orders"
As a founding lieutenant general, Wang Jinshan is a person who is good at leading troops to command wars, but he will also do things that ordinary people dare not do, such as going to fight without orders from superiors. In this regard, it is very similar to Li Yunlong's capture of Ping'an County , and they are both people who make superiors have a headache.
In October 1943, Wang Jinshan, then commander of the Second Division of the Taiyue Military Region, was ordered to go to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region to form the New Fourth Brigade and serve as the brigade commander.
said that by chance, when he was passing through the Japanese army's strategic location, Hanluo Village, , he learned that a team of Japanese troops would also pass by here. How could Wang Jinshan miss this opportunity? After discussing with the political commissar of the 16th Regiment and the acting leader, he decided to fight an ambush battle at the enemy here.
originally thought this was an ordinary ambush, but I didn't expect that this Japanese army was a "Japanese battlefield visiting group" composed of officers with the rank of squadron leader or above.
Wang Jinshan couldn't let go of the "fat meat" in front of him. He carefully made arrangements and decided to "observe" the Japanese army.
On the morning of October 23, Wang Jinshan led the team into the ambush circle in advance. He saw Japanese trucks coming all the way, with 13 cars with Japanese flags in their arms.
did not hesitate, waiting for the enemy to enter the ambush circle. With a command, the soldiers suddenly attacked him, and the enemy ran away in a mess.
After a fierce battle, the Japanese army's visiting group was basically wiped out by the team led by Wang Jinshan. At that time, the commander of the North China dispatched army of the Japanese army was even more furious and sent people to attack Wang Jinshan, but he did not want the witty Wang Jinshan to disappear without a trace.
Chairman Mao praised Wang Jinshan in public when he met cadres above the brigade in Yan'an, saying that he was not only brave, decisive, and courageous, but also able to seize the opportunity to fight a beautiful battle in a timely manner and dare to fight a war without orders.
It can be seen that Wang Jinshan's unordered battle this time made Chairman Mao particularly appreciate him. It can also be seen that Chairman Mao's enlightenment did not criticize Wang Jinshan for fighting without approval.
"Crazy Warrior General"
Wang Jinshan has participated in Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army since he was 15 years old. From the War of Resistance Against Japan to the War of Liberation, he has been fighting bravely under Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping. For Wang Jinshan's combat style, he was called "crazy" by his comrades.
But Deng Xiaoping didn't think so. He said, "He is not crazy, it is revolutionary heroism."
It can be seen that Deng Xiaoping also gave high evaluation and praise to Wang Jinshan, and even Deng Xiaoping called Wang Jinshan a "generation warrior."
The defeat of the "Everythymn General"
On March 16, 1951, the 3rd Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army participated in the Resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea . Wang Jinshan, then deputy commander and acting commander, did not expect that he, who was invincible in the battle, would actually fight a "lose" in the fifth battle.
The fifth battle was launched in advance, and volunteer army actively fought, but due to the lack of food and ammunition, Peng Dehuai ordered the corps to retreat.
, but did not expect that something would happen at this time. Wang Jinshan ordered his 60th Army to take on the blocking mission, and at the same time ordered several other armies to transfer and retreat. The commander of the 60th Army also issued an emergency order to retreat.
However, because the troops below are fighting fiercely with the enemy, the time for the retreat is early and late.
On the night, the commander of the 60th Army received another emergency call from Wang Jinshan, but he misunderstood Wang Jinshan's meaning and thought he wanted to let the 60th Army cover all the wounded soldiers of the corps to transport them.
That night, friendly troops retreated across the board, but the 180th Division lags behind alone and falls into the siege of the US military, becoming the biggest military loss of our army in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
Regarding this military loss, Wang Jinshan took the initiative to admit his mistake to Chairman Mao, believing that it was his mistake in command that led to heavy sacrifices in the 180th Division.
Chairman Mao did not blame him for this, but comforted him to put down his burden and fight normally in the future. It can be seen that Chairman Mao is understanding and did not blame him for Wang Jinshan's mistake once.
A brave man wins
I believe that everyone who has read "Bright Sword" is familiar with this sentence. This slogan comes from Wang Jinshan, following Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping's to Dabie Mountains in this operation.
In August 1947, Liu and Deng's army leaped into the Dabie Mountains , opening the prelude to the People's Liberation Army's strategic counterattack.
100,000 troops fought bloody battles and came to Ruhe, but when they arrived here, they could not rush to cross the river, because the enemy deployed a large number of troops here to prevent our army from crossing the river smoothly. If they wanted to cross the river successfully, they had to build a floating bridge under the enemy's fierce firepower.
With the successful construction of the advance troops and successfully crossing the river, the enemy's pursuit also followed. The situation is extremely grim at this moment, and it is impossible to delay every minute and a second. Our soldiers began to cross the river while fighting fiercely with the enemy, but the enemy's firepower was very strong.
In response to this, Deng Xiaoping looked at Wang Jinshan and said word by word: "At any cost, fight it firmly!"
Liu Bocheng looked around everyone, and said heroically: "The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road! From now on, no matter day and night, no matter how many aircraft and cannons the enemy uses, we must use offensive means to deal with the attacking enemy and fight a bloody path from here. History must not be reversed, and the strategic decision of the army to move south cannot be changed!"
Wang Jinshan and the soldiers present were deeply inspired by the words of the two leaders, and Wang Jinshan personally ordered the troops to fight the bloody path and force the Ru River to cross.
At this time, the regiment commander was the battalion commander and the battalion commander was the company commander. The entire army was passionate and installed the rifle with a cold bayonet, swearing to cross the Ru River to the death.
In this way, the army launched a strong attack on the enemy. After stepping on the floating bridge, it bravely launched a charge towards the enemy. Our army successfully crossed the Ru River.
haven't been home in the past twenty years
Wang Jinshan fought countless times in his life, and has been fighting abroad for many years. He has never had time to go home to visit his father and his younger brother.
At a time of rest in the army, he saw many family members coming to visit him in the army. He couldn't help but think of his father who was far away from his hometown. He had not visited him for nearly twenty years.
So he sent two soldiers to his hometown to take his father over, hoping that the elderly father would also see that his son had become a glorious PLA soldier, even though he was already the commander of the PLA at this time.
After receiving the order, the two soldiers went to Wang Jinshan’s hometown to pick up the old man.
At this time, the old man was arable land, and the two soldiers explained their purpose.
The old man was very happy. He first thanked Chairman Mao for his earnest teachings to his son. He entrusted the PLA's blessing so that his son could achieve great things like today, and then he happily went home to pack his clothes.
After coming to the train platform, the two soldiers asked the old man to wait here for a while and they went to buy something.
Wang Jinshan's father worked diligently as a farmer for his whole life, and had never seen a train. He was very curious about the train tracks, so he went to the railway tracks to see.
didn't know that the person waiting for the train had to wait behind the white line. In this way, as the train ran, the old man was taken to the rails by the train and died unfortunately.
Wang Jinshan was very sad after learning about his father's accidental death. He had not returned home for 19 years. He thought he would finally have the opportunity and time to accompany his elderly father this time, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. How could it not be heartbreaking?
Wang Jinshan, with a broad mind,
After the military headquarters learned the news, he immediately sent someone to to handle the work properly and prepared to punish the two soldiers. However, Wang Jinshan endured the grief in his heart. told the person in charge that the incident had happened and could not be saved.
Don’t punish comrades for his own personal affairs. Although these two comrades made mistakes, they made their own contributions to the revolutionary war. Now they are wrong. Just educate and learn lessons and make changes. They can also make more contributions to the revolution.
The two soldiers were moved after hearing Wang Jinshan's words. They had made mistakes and could not be blamed, but Wang Jinshan did not blame them. How could this not be touching?
From this we can also see that General Wang Jinshan is a broad-minded person and a deep understanding of righteousness, and is a role model for people to learn from.
...
General Wang Jinshan's life is as legendary as Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword". He is good at commanding and fighting on the battlefield, and he is brave and good at fighting. The troops he brings are also very powerful.
His military career is even more colorful than Li Yunlong's experience in the play. It's a pity that Wang Jinshan, who had been in the military for half his life, failed to let his father see his current appearance, which is a pity.
General Wang Jinshan was named the rank of lieutenant general after the founding of New China . This is not only a recognition of Wang Jinshan's own ability, but also a testimony to his great contribution to the people.
He has experienced many battles of all sizes in his life, and the battle of winning with less is even more classic, and it is still of profound reference significance for our army in combat.
Conclusion:
The death of his father was a sad thing for General Wang Jinshan, but he endured the grief and did not blame the two soldiers.
Just like on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the 180th Division suffered heavy losses due to his mistakes. Chairman Mao did not blame him, but comforted him.
From this we can see that Chairman Mao’s thoughts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They can not only provide our army with superb military ideas in combat, but also improve personal mind and quality, so that people can be broad-minded and treat others with broad mind.
