In 1941, the Kuomintang surrounded the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army on its way north in the southern Anhui area, and created the Southern Anhui Incident that shocked China and foreign countries. The Wannan Incident caused the New Fourth Army to suffer heavy losses. However, with the support of our party, the New Fourth Army quickly completed its reconstruction. The Fourth Column of the Eighth Route Army was reorganized into the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army. Under the leadership of Peng Xuefeng, the Fourth Division He continued to participate in the Anti-Japanese War and consolidated and developed the anti-Japanese base areas in Huaibei and Hunan.
The person we are going to talk about today is a member of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army. He once served as the deputy section chief of the Propaganda Section of the Political Department of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army and the political section chief of the Second Cadre Regiment of the Fourth Division. His name is Wang Xike. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Xike became deputy director of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army. However, during his high position, he persecuted many of the founding fathers and made mistakes. So, what’s the story about Wang Xike? What's his end?
Wang Xike participated in the "December 9th Movement" in his early years. In 1936, he joined the Chinese National Liberation Vanguard. He began to accept the guidance of our party and was active in Henan and other places to promote our party's anti-Japanese ideology. In 1937, after the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Wang Xike continued to stay in Hubei, Henan and Anhui to propagate revolution. At that time, Wu Zhipu was in charge of the overall work in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and Wang Xike mainly worked under his leadership. After the Wannan Incident broke out, the New Fourth Army was rebuilt, and Wang Xike also joined the newly established Fourth Division and continued to engage in anti-Japanese propaganda.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War , the New Fourth Army sent a cadre regiment to the Northeast region. Wang Xike's Second Cadre Regiment of the Fourth Division was sent to the Northeast. Wang Xike himself also served as the political director of the Second Cadre Regiment. Objectively speaking, Wang Xike did a lot of work during his stay in Northeast China, especially when he served as deputy director of the Political Department of the Mudanjiang Provincial Military Region. He not only recruited local armed forces there, but also countered rebellions and suppressed bandits, and contributed to the development of the Mudanjiang Provincial Military Region. Heqiang has done a lot of work.
It is worth mentioning that during the bandit suppression in Northeast China, a well-known hero emerged in the Mudanjiang Provincial Military Region where Wang Xike was located. This man was Yang Zirong, who cleverly captured a mountain eagle . After cleverly capturing the mountain eagle, the Mudanjiang Provincial Military Region received an award from the Northeast Military Region. Both "Northeast Daily" and "Mudanjiang Daily" reported Yang Zirong's heroic deeds. Unfortunately, not long after, Yang Zirong was suppressing bandits. Sacrifice heroically in the process. After Yang Zirong died, his tombstone was inscribed by Wang Xike himself. At that time, Wang Xike wrote an inscription on the tombstone: "Martyrs who have fought for the establishment of independent democracy through the ages."
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Xike participated in the Chinese Volunteer Army's War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, served as the director of the Second Logistics Branch of the Volunteer Army, participated in leading the logistics support work of the Chinese Volunteer Army, and also witnessed the victory of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. It was also because of his outstanding performance in logistics support during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea that Wang Xike attracted the attention of Qiu Huizuo, the Minister of the General Logistics Department, and was transferred to the General Logistics Department. He successively served as the Deputy Minister and Minister of the Munitions Department of the General Logistics Department, and other positions. In 1969, he was promoted to deputy director of the General Logistics Department.
During his time in the General Logistics Department, Wang Xike was Qiu Huizuo's confidant. Qiu Huizuo admired him very much and gave him many things that his talents could do. As we all know, during the ten-year special period, Qiu Huizuo set up a private prison in the General Logistics Department and tortured many founding fathers to extract confessions. As a result, a large number of founding marshals were severely persecuted. Founding Lieutenant General Tang Ping was even tortured to death.
Wang Xike also participated in Qiu Huizuo's persecution of the founding fathers, and was highly valued by Qiu Huizuo. For example, in June 1967, Wang Xike fabricated a series of materials that framed the founding marshal Xu Xiangqian, and compiled and printed leaflets, falsely accusing the founding marshal Xu Xiangqian of being a "big time bomb buried in the military" and put forward the slogan "Down with Xu Xiangqian". .
In 1971, shortly after the September 13th Incident, Qiu Huizuo, then head of the General Logistics Department, was isolated for review. As a close confidant of Qiu Huizuo, Wang Xike was also dismissed from his post and was subject to review soon after. In 1980, during the trial of the "Two Cases", Wang Xike was exempted from prosecution and placed in Shenyang according to the treatment of prefecture-level cadres. He died in 1993.
