Preface
The word "war" may give people a light feeling in the textbook, and it does not seem to have any practical weight, but behind it is actually made of countless blood.
The victory of the Anti-Japanese War is the result of the efforts of the Chinese people. In this war, countless Chinese people resolutely rushed to the battlefield for the future of the motherland and fought for a better tomorrow for the motherland.
In these fourteen years, many ordinary but great revolutionary soldiers have emerged.
For example, the combat hero of Jiaodong Military Region Wang Daolian , always fought on the front line of the anti-Japanese war and made great achievements. He led his army to fight fiercely with the Japanese invaders for more than two hours. In the end, he not only broke through the enemy's blockade, but also wiped out more than 100 enemies.
In the era of war between blood and fire, those thrilling pasts, those respectable and awesome scenes, and those reminiscent of characters, all quietly imprinted the traces of time.
, an excellent commander with both military and political integrity, was injured 6 times and returned to the front line 6 times in his eight years of military career.
1. Wang Daolian
1922, Wang Daolian was born in a poor farmer's family in a remote village in Wendeng County, Shandong Province. Due to long-term overwork and years of hunger, Wang Daolian's father died early, leaving only the young Wang Daolian brothers and mother to depend on each other.
In that war-torn era, families without pillars would be bullied, and the Wang Daolian family was no exception.
Wang Daolian's mother was difficult to remarry with two boys, and she could only make a living for the family of three with difficulty, but this could only ensure survival, and it was impossible to eat enough.

Children from poor families always grow up early. Wang Daolian knows his mother's hard work, and he knows more about being considerate of his mother. So he takes care of all the work he can do at home and often does some small work to earn money to subsidize his family's income.
Wang Daolian was at the age of school, and his mother took out all her savings, but the tuition was far from enough. In the end, his mother borrowed money from relatives and friends to raise his tuition. His mother supported him in school so that he could make a name for himself in the future and no longer had to dig food in the field like himself.
Wang Daolian has been hardworking and thrifty since he was a child, but the students who eat at school always have a lot of food left. The only purpose of those leftover food is to feed pigs.
Wang Daolian saw the gap between the families here, but he was not discouraged. He believed that with his own efforts, he would definitely let his mother and younger brother live a good life in the future.
In school, Wang Daolian concentrates on studying and crazy absorbs nutrients that can make him "thrive".
He has a cheerful personality and quickly grew into a passionate man with a sense of justice in school.
During a break, the children of the rich businessmen provoked the children of the poor, and the two immediately clashed. After learning about this, the teacher deliberately favored the children of the rich businessmen, which made Wang Daolian very dissatisfied. Out of justice, he stood up to explain the story to the teacher and protected the children of the poor. Therefore, he was admired by many poor students in the school.
When Wang Daolian was studying at the senior primary school, the "One-14" peasant uprising broke out in Shandong. This uprising was led by the Communist Party of China. Although it failed due to the suppression of warlords, it planted a seed of hope in Wang Daolian's heart. He hoped to hold a sharp weapon like this group of people and speak out for the poor. Therefore, the idea of learning martial arts took root in his heart.

In order to learn martial arts, he begged his mother for a long time. His mother felt that he was making trouble. He went to school for a day and didn’t have enough time to study. Where can he learn martial arts spiritually? Moreover, it costs money to learn martial arts. The family has no rice at home, and even the money to go to school is borrowed. Where can he still learn martial arts?
But Wang Daolian did not give up. After school, he insisted on going to the martial arts room in the village to become a disciple. His mother thought it was a whim of a child, but found that the child would practice martial arts every day after school. After a long time, his mother became soft-hearted and gave the apprenticeship gift to the martial arts masters in the village.
Since then, Wang Daolian has begun a fulfilling learning path, learning cultural knowledge during the day and martial arts at night.
1937, after the "July 7" Incident broke out, a revolutionary wave of anti-Japanese and national salvation was set off across the country.
The Communist Party of China in Shandong also responded actively, and issued a call for "the whole nation's war of resistance" and prepared to carry out an armed uprising in Wendeng County, Shandong. After hearing this news, Wang Daolian, who graduated from high school, actively responded to the call to join the army. He understood that only the Communist Party of China, which represents the working people, can truly consider the interests of the people, fight the Japanese devils, and drive them out of China, and China can have a future.
Shandong People's National Saving Third Army is an armed force formed by the Communist Party of China. The team has strict regulations on the age of joining the army. Wang Daolian was young and did not meet the requirements of this army, so he was exterminated by the army. However, Wang Daolian did not give up. He pestered the army leaders all the time, but the iron-like discipline was placed there, and the leaders could not make an exception for him.
Fortunately, the army leader was moved by Wang Daolian's enthusiasm and thought of a new place for him, which was to go home to join the self-defense force in the village, accumulate experience first, and then come to join the army when it reaches the right age.
After repeated persuasion by the troops leaders, Wang Daolian was preparing to go home to join the Self-Defense Force. He performed very well in the Self-Defense Force. Whether he was standing guard, inquiring about information and passing information, he did a great job.
Picture | 114 Uprising Site
In February 1938, Wang Daolian heard that the Third Army of Shandong People's National Salvation Army was about to fight westward and sent troops to Penglai . His dream of joining the army that had been hidden for a long time was ignited again.
Wang Daolian always wants to join the army to fight when eating, walking and sleeping. His mother couldn't bear it when she looked at her son's anxious look and said to Wang Daolian, who had just turned 15, ", you stay in the village to participate in the self-defense regiments, just as you stay in the village to participate in the self-defense regiment, let's talk about joining the army after two years! "
But Wang Daolian was determined to join the army. He refuted his mother for the first time: "If everyone waits, who will go to fight? Who will the country rely on? "
As soon as this was said, the mother knew that he had made up his mind and did not persuade him anymore. She just started preparing dry food silently, hoping that his son could eat better on the road.
Within two days, Wang Daolian set out to leave his home and looked west for the Third Army of Shandong People's Saving the Country. After three months of trekking,
finally caught up with the Shandong People's National Salvation Third Army in Huang County. At this time, he officially became a glorious soldier. After joining the army, Wang Daolian was in a high mood and he was determined to do his best and be a good soldier. After being transferred to the company, Wang Daolian trained hard. He would conduct physical training on time in hot summer or biting cold weather. He even practiced himself, got up earlier than others and ran with loads. When it was late at night, others slept. He was still practicing overcoming obstacles, and his only rest time would be spent in communication and exchange with his comrades.
Wang Daolian's efforts were not in vain. He developed a strong skill and performed very well in the army. When he went to the battlefield, he was not afraid of the enemy, and moved forward bravely and made many military achievements.
In October 1939, he joined the Communist Party of China with his remarkable record and high ideological awareness.

2. Highlight achievements
Raiding the Japanese stronghold
1941, Wang Daolian's company received the task of raiding the Japanese and puppet army strongholds.
that night was as thick as ink, and the soldiers were deliberately hiding, which made the Japanese and puppet troops unprepared for the raid.
In order to raid, the soldiers took a lighter pace. Wang Daolian led a platoon of soldiers to climb over the wall and rushed into the stronghold first with his powerful military capabilities.
Facing a strong enemy, the Japanese and puppet troops caught off guard, and Wang Daolian and others had extremely strong firepower. In the end, all forty garrisons in the stronghold were annihilated.
Wang Daolian also opened an entry channel for the team behind and seized a batch of military supplies and guns and ammunition.
cover retreat
In September 1942, in order to eliminate the armed forces of our army and to combat the development of the anti-Japanese base in Laixi, the stronghold was built in the county town of Pingdu . The Jiaodong Southeast Sea troops launched a devastating blow to the stronghold. The enemy commander-in-chief was killed on the spot. After the enemy lost the commander, the enemy defeated the entire army and the South China Sea troops won a great victory.
immediately followed, surrounded the Kuomintang Li Houji's troops stationed in Gaolan. In order to help Li Houji solve the problem, the Kuomintang sent two regiments of the 12th Division of the Kuomintang to raid the headquarters of the South China Sea Military Sub-district. At this time, the military sub-district had only four troop garrisons, and a guard company responsible for protecting the prefectural committee. The war situation was very serious, the number of enemies was several times that of our army, and the situation was very critical.
After careful reconnaissance by scout , the Kuomintang troops were divided into three groups, trying to surround the military district headquarters and the Nanhai Prefectural Committee.
It has to be said that the Kuomintang played a very beautiful job of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, but the soldiers stationed in our military region were not afraid of life and death. The commander personally commanded the battle. Many leaders of the prefectural committees even came to the battlefield to live and die with the soldiers. Under the desperate resistance of the South China Sea troops, they killed the enemy's commander and regiment commander and annihilated more than 200 enemy troops.
pic|Call to fight
In this war, the troops led by Wang Daolian made great contributions. Before the enemy's vanguard troops attacked, they arrived at the military district garrison in time, preventing the enemy from launching the first round of attacks on the military district garrison. At the same time, they fought desperately to repel the enemy, covered the zoning organs to withdraw from the encirclement, and protected the safety of leaders in the military district.
led the entire company to fight fiercely against the enemy and annihilated more than 100 enemy troops in
In 1994, Wang Daolian received the task of escorting elite cadres to Jiaodong Military Region. After leading the Eighth Company to successfully complete the task, he stayed in Nanganjiazhaizi Village on the way back, but he did not expect to be reported by spies in the village. The Kuomintang army immediately dispatched eight companies to surround him. The number of enemy troops was several times higher than that of our army, and the Eighth Company had only seventy people.
Wang Daolian was calm and composed. He understood that if he relied on the number of people to face the enemy head-on, he would be sacrificing for nothing. Now only by concentrating firepower and breaking through quickly can he win a surprise.
So, Wang Daolian commanded the entire company to concentrate firepower and attack fiercely at the weak areas of the enemy's encirclement. During the two-hour battle, Wang Daolian ordered the soldiers to use grenades to bomb the enemy, disrupting the enemy's sight.
After two hours of fierce fighting, the Kuomintang troops suffered more than 100 casualties, and the remaining soldiers did not dare to charge. Taking advantage of the enemy's fear of hands, Wang Daolian led all the soldiers of the company to successfully break through. When gathering after the war, he found that only five soldiers in the company were slightly injured.
In this battle, Wang Daolian reversed the passive situation, actively resolved the passiveness, hit the enemy's key points, and defeated the more with less.

3. Ideological progress
In addition to his glorious deeds on the battlefield, Wang Daolian attaches great importance to his ideological and political learning.
troops will regularly publish some red journals. Wang Daolian will study each journal carefully, then think about it, and record his own insights with a pen. He will also discuss the deep meaning of each article with others, striving to understand the spirit conveyed by the article thoroughly.
encounters some important articles or opinions, and they will also cut them down or copy them in the notebook to mark and save them.
records the Battle of Chengyang in Wang Daolian's notes. In this battle, because Wang Daolian only had the experience of leading his troops to charge at that time, he lacked control over the battlefield, resulting in the soldiers rushing directly to the vicinity of Chengyang during the charge. Without cover, they were counterattacked by the enemy, causing unnecessary casualties.
In the notes, Wang Daolian wrote his reflection in this way, "The characteristics of the troops should be familiar to the commanders, and the orders issued must be in accordance with the troops' planning. In this battle, there was a situation where the orders were rushed out but could not be collected. The fundamental reason was that the orders were issued too vague and did not define how much they should be stopped. The mission of the troops was not clear, which led to unnecessary casualties."
Wang Daolian was good at summarizing experience and reflecting on himself. He kept reflecting on the lessons he had learned. It was precisely because he kept learning that his progress was very obvious.
With this tenacity, Wang Daolian gradually promoted from soldier to deputy platoon leader, and was promoted to platoon leader. Later, he became an instructor, battalion commander, etc. His calmness and care for soldiers, and his way of dealing with things made the soldiers admire him.

In 1945, the Japanese and puppet troops entered the countdown of carnival. They started the crazy sweeping and massacre mode. The Nanhai District suffered from the Japanese and puppet troops' uninterrupted sweeping and massacre. The revolutionary environment was very severe.
Some comrades who are not firm in their position and have not had enough thoughts are very helpless in the face of this situation. They asked the organization to transfer from the Nanhai District.
Faced with the harsh political environment of the Nanhai District, the organization considered Wang Daolian's injuries and suggested that he go to the rear to cultivate, but Wang Daolian firmly refused. He said: " I will never leave the Nanhai District. Although the environment here is difficult, the dawn of victory is right in front of me. I must not give up on the people here."
The enemy blocked the Nanhai District, resulting in the failure to transport revolutionary materials in the Nanhai District at all, but Wang Daolian was not afraid at all and would never leave.
Winter is here, and Wang Daolian only wore a cotton military uniform, without a coat or quilt, so he crawled into the dense grass to spend the night.
Someone asked him, "You are now disabled, and you are like this. Why don't you want to transfer you to the rear to recuperate several times? You should know that many people dream of going to the rear!"
He responded seriously: " I am a Chinese soldier. The destination of a soldier is to die on the battlefield, not in the rear. I watched the people I protected were massacred."
's later form was no matter how severe it was, he has always stood firmly with the residents of Nanhai District. They were born and died together, and fought for the revolution together.
Wang Daolian did not take all kinds of scarcity of materials to heart. He could understand the difficulties of the Party and the people. When the weather was cold, he would gather in the dense grass and become a "group leader".
4. Sacrifice
In October 1946, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party issued a ceasefire order, announcing the cessation of all combat activities. As soon as the news of
came out, the whole country was in full swing, but Wang Daolian smelled a trace of conspiracy with his extremely high military literacy.
Many people in the party at that time understood that Chiang Kai-shek agreed to the peace talks to the truce in order to gain time to paralyze the Communist Party of China. Their real intention was to false peace and real civil war.
But many people still hold a glimmer of hope. After all, the war has been fought for too long. It would be best if the war can be fought so that the Chinese people can rest.
However, in June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Jinan on a special plane to preside over the military meeting.
At this meeting, Chiang Kai-shek decided to mobilize a large number of troops to try to open up Jiaoji Road, so that communications between the north and the south of the liberated areas could be cut off and attempted to eliminate the liberated forces in Shandong.
At the same time, the meeting ordered "KMT Second District Commander Wang Yaowu to lead five armies and 15 divisions to launch an attack on the Shandong Liberated Area."
The brazen attack of the Kuomintang army led to the fall of Nanquan, Lancun and other places one after another, and the Kuomintang army continued to advance northward.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army Jiaodong Military Region Guard Brigade was deploying defenses in the area of Taizhizhuang . On September 24, more than 2,000 people from the 54th Division of the enemy arrived in Taizhizhuang and Heliuzhuang.
The Jiaodong Military Region Guard Brigade stationed here adopted the tactic of "anti-encirclement and detour", trying to lock the enemy firmly in the encirclement and annihilate more than 400 enemy troops.
At that time, Wang Daolian was already the deputy chief of staff of the 16th Regiment of the Third Guard Brigade. He was ordered to lead a company of troops to set up an ambush on the southwest side of Taizhizhuang, with the purpose of delaying the enemy coming to reinforce and attracting their firepower, thereby delaying the time for the large army and ensuring that the enemy will be completely surrounded. Unexpectedly, he was unfortunately hit by the enemy and died while commanding the war.

The war was won, but Wang Daolian will never see it.
, this hero, has achieved minor injuries but not falling off the front line during his eight-year anti-Japanese career. Even though he was seriously injured six times and needed to retreat to the rear to cultivate, he still refused to go to the battle with injuries without hesitation, but unexpectedly died in the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
5. Evaluation
Old man Yuan Shujin, who once met Wang Daolian, recalled: " I have many houses. At that time, I lived in an Eighth Route Army soldier. They had very good discipline and never harmed the people. At that time, I rushed to let them live. After they lived there, I never got into the miscellaneous work in the yard and the water in the water tank. Their leader Wang Daolian also took the lead in helping us do farm work, so diligent! "
Comrades in Nanhai District commented on him: " He is the eternal hero of Nanhai District and the excellent commander of both military and political integrity in our hearts. He firmly walked on the red road, and whether it was thought or action, he was so popular that he could not be more popular. "
The military and civilians of the Nanhai District cannot let go of Wang Daolian's departure for a long time. Their combat hero, the little king in their mouths, and such a hot soul, left them forever. He once promised to come back to see it when the war was over, but that parting would last forever. Many people even heard the news of his death a year later.
Conclusion
1946, Jiaodong Military Region General Wang Daolian Zhui was considered a combat hero. In 1986, the people of Wendeng welcomed his portrait and placed it in the Wendeng Martyrs' Mourning Hall.
In the long river of history, there are many things that we cannot forget, such as the stories of these heroes that we need to remember and recite forever.
Every generation has its mission, and countless revolutionary martyrs have used their blood to pave the way for us to the prosperity and development of the new China; countless people who have devoted themselves to national construction have brought the new China to the world; countless people who are brave in innovation and change have built the prosperous China for us today.

Unexpectedly, he was unfortunately hit by the enemy and died while commanding the war.

The war was won, but Wang Daolian will never see it.
, this hero, has achieved minor injuries but not falling off the front line during his eight-year anti-Japanese career. Even though he was seriously injured six times and needed to retreat to the rear to cultivate, he still refused to go to the battle with injuries without hesitation, but unexpectedly died in the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
5. Evaluation
Old man Yuan Shujin, who once met Wang Daolian, recalled: " I have many houses. At that time, I lived in an Eighth Route Army soldier. They had very good discipline and never harmed the people. At that time, I rushed to let them live. After they lived there, I never got into the miscellaneous work in the yard and the water in the water tank. Their leader Wang Daolian also took the lead in helping us do farm work, so diligent! "
Comrades in Nanhai District commented on him: " He is the eternal hero of Nanhai District and the excellent commander of both military and political integrity in our hearts. He firmly walked on the red road, and whether it was thought or action, he was so popular that he could not be more popular. "
The military and civilians of the Nanhai District cannot let go of Wang Daolian's departure for a long time. Their combat hero, the little king in their mouths, and such a hot soul, left them forever. He once promised to come back to see it when the war was over, but that parting would last forever. Many people even heard the news of his death a year later.
