On March 12, 1993, a general who had been guarding the border for life passed away in Guangzhou. Following his last wish, part of his ashes were sprinkled on the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang, , forever protecting this land he has fought and held on to, and guarding the northwest border of the motherland. At the same time, the white snow on Tianshan is also protecting this pure and loyal soul.
Evolution history of the idle boy
Wang Zhen, whose original name is Wang Zhenglin, was born in a poor peasant family in rural Liuyang, Hunan. At that time, the people were struggling to survive at the bottom of society. Wang Zhen, who grew up in hardship and oppression, knew the sorrow of the people at the bottom.
It is this experience that makes this stubborn and unyielding boy take liberating the hard-working people as his lifelong mission.
1922, 14-year-old Wang Zhen joined the army with passion and firm belief, but when the gun faced his compatriots and when war became a tool for fighting for power and profit, he left disappointed and became a railway worker after going around.
After becoming a railway worker, he found that the workers were also exploited, and he organized a group of workers to confront capitalists. Later, a chance made him get to know the Communist Party of China, and the young man had the idea of joining the Communist Party.
And the appearance of a person made Wang Zhen even more determined to join the revolutionary party. This person was the young Mao Runzhi, who later Chairman Mao.
How did these two people know each other? Why did Wang Zhen let Chairman Mao make a precedent for him to meet the Chairman with a gun, and issued a special order saying "Wang Huzi won't harm me, so you don't need to unplug the gun. Don't just use atomic bomb "?
First meet and appreciate each other, and fight side by side with each other
In August 1925, Wang Zhen, who was the captain of the railway workers' picket team, received a task from his superiors and asked him to escort a gentleman named Mao Runzhi to Changsha safely.
In this way, 17-year-old Wang Zhen met Mao Runzhi, 32-year-old. On the train, Mao Runzhi, who was thirty years old, talked about revolutionary ideas, which made Wang Zhen, who was already interested, listen with relish. Mao Runzhi's concise explanation made him suddenly enlightened.
The revolution, which had only a few understandings in his mind, ignited a torch at this time, which made him more firmly and clearly identify the revolution and the Communist Party, and laid the foundation for his successful joining the party two years later.
At that time, Mao Runzhi also noticed this young man who was fascinated by him. He asked him for his name with great interest. At that time, Wang Zhen had not changed his name yet. He said in a straightforward manner that his name was Wang Linzheng. Runzhi asked him why he participated in the revolution, and Wang Zhen replied, "For the liberation of the working people."
This sentence made Runzhi feel like looking for a soulmate. He said excitedly: "By the way. The working class is like the locomotive on your railway. However, you must not only let the train move forward, but also pull up the Chinese working people, pull up our great Chinese nation, and move forward together."
This is the first encounter between Runzhi and Wang Zhen, a pioneer and a new blood appreciation.
In 1930, Wang Zhen had made his mark, and Mao Runzhi became a more mature Marxist. When we met again, the two had become comrades-in-arms fighting side by side.
At that time, Mao Runzhi was trapped in the enemy's encirclement and suppression, and Wang Zhen led the guerrillas into the enemy's abdomen to rescue him. Before this, Runzhi heard that there was a "Wang Zhen" who was very brave and powerful in war, so he took this opportunity to see what this "Wang Zhen" who saved him looked like.
After meeting, Runzhi felt that the tough young man in front of him was very familiar, so he asked tentatively: "Is your name Wang Zhenglin?"
Wang Zhen only realized that Mr. Mao, whom he escorted back then, was the political commissar of the Red First Army, and political commissar Mao still remembered his real name, and he nodded excitedly.
Since then, the two have more and more intersections and their relationships have become deeper. Later, Wang Zhen reorganized the guerrillas from several counties to form the Third Regiment of the Independent Division of the Xiangdong Red Army, and became the regular army of the Red Army .
At this time, Wang Zhen became a loyal fan of the Political Commissar Mao, and firmly upholding his sixteen-character secret, "I retreat when the enemy advances, I stand in and attack when the enemy is tired, and I fight when the enemy retreats."
In actual combat, he also verified the correctness of the sixteen-character tactics. In this way, the two people who appreciate and trust each other support each other in their respective actions to constantly pursue the path of revolution.
"Growing Commander" from general to peasant, from Nanniwan to Tianshan
General Wang Zhen's indissoluble bond with the land began in 1941, when the enemy blocked the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, attempting to trap the Red Army to death. In order to deal with the enemy's blockade, Chairman Mao ordered the cultivation of Nanniwan.
Faced with this seemingly impossible task, Chairman Mao was the first to think of Wang Zhen, and Wang Zhen also took the initiative to take on this task and led his troops to Nanniwan to defend the "Southern Gate" of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region for the revolution.
Just like that, facing the cold wind in March and the stubborn land of Nanniwan, Wang Zhen was determined to set up camp here, and on the one hand, he fought back against the enemy's assault, and on the other hand, he launched a large-scale production campaign.
He led the way, shouting the slogan "One gun is the first to protect the Party Central Committee by self-sufficiently", leading the soldiers to open up the land, eat, live and work together.
took two years to conquer this wilderness forest that was originally full of thorns and repel the ambitious enemies. In two years, General Wang Zhen's hands went from being covered with bubbles to being called out of one hand, and Nanniwan went from "there are barren mountains everywhere" to "the good Jiangnan in northern Shaanxi".
Not only did he defend the "Southern Gate" for the revolution, he also provided the army with a new strategy for building and raising troops: he could charge on the battlefield and plow the ground, and this method was later used in Xinjiang.
In March 1949, Wang Zhen volunteered to march into Xinjiang. He was strong and firm: "I demand to go to the most difficult places, go to the unliberated places, and I want to go to Xinjiang to liberate, develop, and develop there."
Faced with the complex and chaotic situation in Xinjiang, General Wang Zhen resolutely and truly regards "liberating the working people" as his lifelong pursuit and belief.
In October 1949, Wang Zhen led 89,000 people into Xinjiang with the Chairman's repeated instructions. Faced with the complex situation, General Wang Zhen decisively used thunder means to encircle and suppress local bandits and rebels.
At that time, General Wang Zhen did not kill all the bandits with one stick, and proposed that "if you can fight for these bandits, you should fight for them as much as possible and let them follow the right path. If you really can't fight for them, then use cannons to reason with them and teach them a lesson with bayonets."
In December, in order to liberate the people of Hotan as soon as possible, the 15th Regiment 1803 soldiers set out from Aksu and took 15 days to hike across the Takramakan Desert , known as the "Sea of Death", and successfully liberated Hotan.
Then General Wang Zhen issued a military order that "the 15th Regiment stationed in Hotan cannot be transferred", allowing more than a thousand soldiers to take root in the border and settle down and guard the border.
And these soldiers also became the first generation of veterans of the sand sea.
They settled and guarded the border, turned the Gobi Desert into a good land, and turned the desert into an oasis. They have always adhered to the saying "I have dedicated my youth and my life, and I have dedicated my life to my descendants."
Now all the veterans of the 47th Regiment of Hotan have passed away, and their children have inherited their spirit from generation to generation, and they are still guarding this vast land of China for generations.
The current beautiful Yili , the charming Sailimuhu , and the enthusiastic Turpan are all inseparable from General Wang Zhen’s original persistence and the persistence of the veterans.
With their joint efforts, Xinjiang's GDP reached 36 times that of 49 years in just four years, and General Wang Zhen's path to agricultural reclamation has not stopped.
made the enemy frightened, how "Wang Hu Zi" evolved
Speaking of "Wang Hu Zi", it is a name that made the enemy scared. Regarding the origin of this nickname, we have to mention the "Second Long March" in the history of the Communist Party.
In October 1944, Wang Zhen received an appointment and led the 359th Brigade to fight south. He not only had to face the enemy's encirclement and interception, but also faced a difficult environment.
The wind and hunger all the way will inevitably shake people's hearts. In order to motivate the soldiers, Wang Zhen made an oath: "If I fail to complete the task assigned by my superiors, my beard will not be shaved. We must successfully return to Yan'an and meet Chairman Mao!" Wang Zhen persisted for nearly two years in this sentence. During this period, Wang Zhen led the 359th Brigade to cross half of China, passing through 8 provinces, traveling more than 20,000 miles, and experiencing more than 300 battles of all sizes, breaking through more than 100 blockade lines of the enemy.
finally led his troops back to Yan'an, and Chairman Mao came out to greet him immediately after learning that Wang Zhen had returned. But standing in front of him was a big bearded man in ragged clothes and disheveled face.
Chairman Mao looked at Wang Zhen in front of him, his eyes turned red, and he could only choke and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Wang Zhen!" Wang Zhen grinned and smiled at Chairman Mao, "You don't have to worry too much, this little bit of pain is not worth mentioning."
This light sentence directly made Chairman Mao burst into tears. At this point, "Wang's Beard" spread.
"Wang Hu Zi" is brave and good at fighting. His desperate spirit on the battlefield makes the enemy dare not compete with him. After all, the enemy has never seen any general dare to carry a coffin to the battlefield. At that time, Wang Zhen often said, "I take the lead in rushing forward, and I will die first when I die. If I die, put me in this coffin."
What this sentence brings us soldiers is the blessing of faith and endless pressure to the enemy. It is this half of his life that has made the reputation of "Wang Hu Zi" spread thousands of miles away and has truly confirmed Wang Zhen's title of "Military God".
General Wang Zhen's life was trapped in his youth and poverty, and was called by the party, and then he spent his entire life struggling to liberate the poor people in the world.
He devoted his life to the revolution. On his dying day, he left his last wish, donated his cornea , and sprinkled his ashes in the Tianshan Mountains.
He has been protecting his whole life. Now he will always stay in the northwest border of the motherland, guarding this beautiful river and mountain, and the Tianshan Mountains are also silently protecting his loyal and pure soul. This is the party cadres and role models we should always remember.
