功德林War Criminals Management Office is the largest war criminal reform management office after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Hundreds of 国民党 senior generals who were captured during the Liberation War were held here. Among the prisoners, Wang Lingji had the highest rank. He was an army general who was born in Leshan, Sichuan. He was the oldest group of people in the Sichuan army. He studied at 日本军士官学校 and later joined the Beiyang government. After Yuan Shikai’s promotion, he became an army. The general later joined Yang Sen and 刘湘. With their help, Wang Lingji's position in the Sichuan Army has been greatly improved.
Shortly after the founding of New China, when the People's Liberation Army was preparing to liberate Sichuan, Wang Lingji, the leader of the Yaskawa Project at that time, first disbanded the provincial government to ensure his own safety. Li Wen’s Fifth Corps broke through together, but unexpectedly, Li Wen’s troops could not fight back in front of the People’s Liberation Army. 王陵基 had to pretend to be a military doctor and escaped, and was later arrested by the People’s Liberation Army in Jiang’an area. , Was subsequently detained in Gongdelin Prison for reformation. Also detained with him were 杜聿明, Huang Wei and others. Many of them were generals of Chiang Kai-shek's Huangpu line, but Wang Lingji was the highest rank, and Wang Lingji was 63 years old at this time.
Wang Lingji did not live very well during the detention and reconstruction period. On the one hand, because of his old age, many modern things would not be used, on the other hand Even his body is not good. Not only is his short-sightedness, but his mobility has also decreased a lot. Once when he shaved his face with a razor, he not only didn't shave his beard clean, but also got his face torn. Fortunately, Du Yuming, who was also in prison, saw all this, and later he took great care of Wang Lingji. Another great feature of Wang Lingji is that he is very smooth. When he was in the Kuomintang, people asked him how old he was. He said that he was the same as Chairman Chiang and was liberated. When others asked him how old he was, He said he was the same age as Commander Zhu.
In 1964, Wang Lingji was pardoned and released from prison, but due to Wang Lingji's health, he died of illness shortly after being released from prison. After his death, his ashes were stored In 八宝山, it was not until more than ten years later that his daughter was taken to the United States, so why was Wanglingji, a former national general, buried in Babaoshan? The main reason is that he led troops to fight against Japan during the War of Resistance Against Japan. During the Battle of Shanggao, the troops he led defeated the Japanese army. After the war, he built a Martyrs Shrine to commemorate the sacrificed soldiers. He was used in many battles since then. Silhouette.
Wang Lingji's achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan are indispensable. Although he did not stand on the right position, many battles in the War of Resistance Against Japan were due to his leadership. The great victory made him qualified to be buried in Babaoshan after his death.
