Founding Lieutenant General Wang Bicheng is a famous general in our army. Because of his harsh and taciturn character, he is known as "cold face". But behind Wang Bicheng's "cold face", there is a warm heart in ancient Taoism, reflecting an unstoppable aura of justice, reflecting a kind of courage and courage to speak for others. Today, Brother Di will tell you a few stories behind Wang Bicheng’s “cold face”.
Wang Bicheng
speaks for Su Yu for righteousness
In the war years, Wang Bicheng fought under Su Yu's command for a long time. He, together with Ye Fei and Tao Yong, was called Su Yu's "Three Musketeers". It was precisely because of Su Yu's cultivation and trust that Wang Bicheng's military talent had room to display and made his reputation as "Wang Laohu".
At the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission held in 1958, Su Yu was criticized unfairly. Wang Bicheng also attended the meeting. As Su Yu's old subordinate for many years, he was appointed to speak at the meeting to "expose" Su Yu. Wang Bicheng knew Su Yu's character and character very well. He stood up at the meeting and said:
I was ordered to expose the great conspirator Su Yu. I have been fighting with Su Yu for many years and have the deepest understanding of Su Yu, a big conspirator, is "big" and "conspiracy". I remember that before the victory of the Jinan Battle was over, Su Yu suggested to the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao to fight the Huaihai Battle and basically solve the main force of the Chiang army. The central government adopted Su Yu's opinion and we achieved a great victory in the decisive battle against Huaihai. I dare not comment on how big this "scheme" is, nor do I have the right to comment on it. Chairman Mao knows the best. As for the 'yin' side, I don't know and don't understand it. Please expose it by those insiders...
Su Yu and Wang Bicheng
This statement was resounding. Under the circumstances at that time, Wang Bicheng dared to say these words, which shows his integrity. After the meeting, He Long said to everyone: "Wang Bicheng is trustworthy and can be trusted!" Wang Suyan, the daughter of Wang Bicheng, once recalled: "My father was taciturn, but he would never follow the crowd. He thought it was right and would not easily change or surrender. In his own experience, he chose to remain silent; for the experience of General Su Yu, he could not bear the anger in his heart."
On February 5, 1984, Su Yu unfortunately died of illness at the age of 77. Wang Bicheng was deeply saddened and cried bitterly. He called Su Yu's wife Chu Qing to express his condolences and condolences. Wang Bicheng said angrily with a cry on the phone: "Su is always wasted talents!"
After Su Yu's death, Wang Bicheng planned to rush from Nanjing to Beijing to mourn him, but Chu Qing told him on the phone that Su Yu had instructed him to cancel all memorial services in order to keep the funeral simple. Wang Bicheng had no choice but to give up this idea.
After that, according to Su Yu's will, Chu Qing scattered his ashes in various places where he and his comrades fought. When Chu Qing went to the eastern provinces to scatter Su Yu's ashes, she happened to pass by Nanjing. She went to visit Wang Bicheng. Wang Bicheng immediately set up a mourning hall for Su Yu in Nanjing and accompanied Chu Qing to scatter part of Su Yu's ashes on the Yangtze River.
After living in Nanjing for a while, Chu Qing said that it was time for him to go to another place, and Wang Bicheng decided to see Chu Qing off. At that time, Su Yu's old subordinate and Nanjing Military Region consultant Zhang Wenbi was also present. Zhang Wenbi said that the military region notified him to participate in the study and could not see Chu Qing off. Wang Bicheng was furious after hearing this. He yelled at Zhang Bicheng, "You dare! You want to go! You must go!"
Zhang Wenbi
Zhang Wenbi saw that "Wang Laohu" was really angry, so he had to agree to go together.
Wang Bicheng always hoped that Su Yu would be rehabilitated during his lifetime, but until his death in 1989, he did not hear the news of rehabilitation for Su Yu, which became an eternal regret in his heart.
In 1994, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission Liu Huaqing and Zhang Zhen published an article entitled "Remembering Comrade Su Yu" in the People's Daily and the People's Liberation Army Daily. In the article, they formally rehabilitated Su Yu on behalf of the Central Military Commission.After Chu Qing saw this article, he immediately placed the newspaper with the article in front of Wang Bicheng's portrait and told him: "Commander Su has already been upset, you can rest in peace!"
Send his pregnant daughter-in-law to the battlefield
In December 1969, Wang Bicheng was transferred to the first deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region. At the turn of spring and summer in 1970, Wang Bicheng was preparing to go to Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan to inspect and guide the work, but on the way he heard that the militia in Ruili County had arrested 15 bandits. He was very happy, so he decided to change the route temporarily and visit the militia first.
After listening to the reports of the militia, Wang Bicheng watched the shooting training of the militia. He also took the rifle handed over by a militia and fired several bullets, but his grades were not ideal. Wang Bicheng couldn't help but smile and sighed, "I haven't fired a rifle for many years, and my accuracy has become worse." After the meeting, the militia suggested that they take a photo with Wang Bicheng, and he agreed readily. During the photo, Wang Bicheng carefully sorted out his military appearance, and then said to everyone humorously: "Young militia comrades, I haven't taken a photo for a long time. Are you not afraid that the old man, I, will you, affect your image?" These words made everyone laugh.
In June 1971, Wang Bicheng was promoted to commander of the Kunming Military Region. Before the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979, Wang Bicheng actively prepared for the war and was preparing to actively attack the invading Vietnamese army, but unfortunately fell ill due to working day and night. The Military Commission had to change generals at the last minute and transferred Wang Bicheng to the Wuhan Military Region as commander. Although Wang Bicheng was reluctant, he could only take the order to go to Wuhan. Before leaving, Wang Bicheng used his "privileges" to send his son and daughter to the front line to participate in the war.
Wang Bicheng took a photo with his family
One day, Wang Bicheng's wife Chen Ying said to him with a sad face: "Our wife also wants to go to the front line."
Wang Bicheng was very excited and cheered, but Chen Ying said: "My wife is two months pregnant, what should I do?"
Wang Bicheng said firmly: "Let her go! I can't participate in the war, but there are three and a half people in our family who participate in the war. This wish can be fulfilled, and this ambition can be understood!"
Chen Ying said with tears in her eyes: "I am still waiting to hold my grandson! The bullets on the front line are not eye-catching. Aren't you afraid of your Wang family's death?"
Wang Bicheng said emotionally: "Only with a country can you have a family. The country is broken. Can the family still be safe? My daughter-in-law understands justice, and we should support her!"
After the death of her comrades, Wang Bicheng covered her comrade's blanket for 49 years
Xu Xukui was Wang Bicheng's life and death comrade. The two participated in the establishment of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area together, and experienced the test of the 25,000-mile Long March together. In July 1940, Wang Bicheng served as commander of the 2nd Column of the New Fourth Army's Northern Su Command, and Xu Xukui served as the commander of the 9th Regiment of the 2nd Column. Once, Wang Bicheng led his troops to attack the Japanese stronghold in Jijia City south of Huangqiao, and seized many spoils, including a beige-colored old blanket. After the battle, Wang Bicheng assigned the blanket to Xu Xukui for use.
Xuxukui
In September 1940, the New Fourth Army was in the battle against Jiangyan of the Kuomintang reactionary Han Deloitte's unit in northern Jiangsu. Xu Xukui unfortunately died. Before his death, he instructed the guards to transfer the blanket to Wang Bicheng.
Wang Bicheng was deeply saddened when he learned that his old comrades had died. When mobilizing the troops, he said: "We must continue to destroy Han Deqin's old anti-communist capital, avenge the victims and Captain Xu... We must enter the enemy's headquarters like Sun Xingzhe, disrupt the head first, and then bloom on all sides!" After hearing Wang Bicheng's encouraging mobilization, the troops were all full of fighting spirit and ready to beat their hands, and finally took down Jiang Yan in one fell swoop and avenged Xu Xukui.
From then on, Wang Bi became a commemorative old comrade-in-arms and has always carried and used this blanket with him. He has used it for decades. The blanket was broken and repaired, and he has been patched and repaired and has been patched. More than 10 patches were applied one after another.
When Wang Bicheng's youngest daughter got married, she saw that the blanket covered by her father was too old, so she specially bought a new blanket for him. Wang Bicheng refused, but said, "I have received your filial piety.But the original blanket cannot be replaced. When I cover it, I think of my comrades who died gloriously when I fought with me... We cannot forget them, we cannot forget the past. It always reminds me that today's victory is hard-won. We must love it, cherish it, and defend it! ”
Wang Bicheng’s blanket
Later, Wang Bicheng heard that the Huangqiao Battle Memorial Hall was collecting relevant cultural relics from the Huangqiao Battle period, so he reminded his wife: “After I leave, please help me donate this blanket to the Huangqiao Battle Memorial Hall. "
1989, after Wang Bicheng passed away, his wife followed his last wish and gave this blanket that he had used for 49 years to the Huangqiao Battle Memorial Hall for collection.
This is Wang Bicheng, a person who is "cold outside and hot inside"!
