In 1928, Zhang Guotao, chairman of the Red Fourth Front Army, was ambitious, and during the Long March, he had dissent to the Red Army going north to resist Japan, and tried to rebel within the Red Army, intending to attack the Red Army. He bypassed the commander-in-chief *** and secretly dispatched elite troops such as cavalry divisions and assault divisions to try to besiege the headquarters of the Red Army and detain ** leaders such as *** and so on. At the critical moment, Wang Chen, the captain of the radio station of the Red First Army, intercepted a secret telegram, quickly reported to the leader, and received a secret report from the Red Second Front Army, and the headquarters of the first organ was transferred to the station of the Red Third Army led by Mr. Peng, and the two elite regiments urgently escorted the leader.
However, due to the fact that the Red Army had only 20,000 men after the Long March, including the wounded and non-combatants, the ammunition was also limited. In contrast, the Red Fourth Front Army was strong in strength and was at a clear disadvantage. The best solution is to get in touch with the Red Second Front led by **, Xiao Ke, **Guan Xiangying and others as soon as possible. This task fell on the shoulders of the radio brigade. Wang Zhen personally used the radio to send a telegram and tried to contact the Red Second Front.
However, it didn't go well at first, Wang Zhen was surrounded by the nervous ** chief, and the atmosphere was solemn. He patiently adjusted the frequency, but it took two hours and he still couldn't get in touch. Wang Zhen also began to feel anxious. Comfort him on the side: "Don't rush, patience is the guarantee of success." Wang Zhen was deeply encouraged, carefully overhauled the radio station, and finally received a signal from the Red Second Front, and all the leaders breathed a sigh of relief. **Praise Wang Chen's performance: "Great, Comrade Wang Chen, very good!."You have made great achievements for the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and history will always remember your contributions!Wang Zhen intercepted and declassified the Kuomintang's secret telegrams many times, won the strategic initiative for the Red Army, and quickly got in touch with the Red Second Front Army hundreds of miles away. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and he made great contributions.
