Wang Zhaoxiang: The founding general who walked out of the high slope of the loess was heroic on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, fought bloody battles under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and made great contributions to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people.
In 1933, Wang Zhaoxiang served as the political commissar of the special team, and there were only 7 people in the team. However, in less than a month, the task force had established its prestige among the people.
Wang Zhaoxiang's name also appeared more and more frequently on the list of national ** bounties for his capture, with a bounty of up to 5,000 oceans and a bounty of 3,000 oceans for the deceased. According to his son Wang Yansheng, in order to protect Wang Zhaoxiang's safety, the commander also equipped him with eight guards.
Wang Zhaoxiang was born in 1909 in a peasant family in Shaanxi. Due to his family's poverty, he needed to herd sheep to help the family from an early age.
This is how he spent his childhood. However, his life did not stop because of this, but instead fueled his fighting spirit. He firmly believes that only through education and struggle can he change his destiny.
As a result, he began to study hard, actively participated in social activities, and eventually became one of the important leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. His experience teaches us that with determination and courage, everyone has the potential to change their destiny.
After Comrade Wang Zhaoxiang joined the Communist Party of China, he returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi, and together with a team of seven people, he promoted the solution of the problem of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the quality of life of the local people was significantly improved.
The legend that Wang Zhaoxiang is a "black fox tiger" is spread in northern Shaanxi, and it is said that he descended from the heavenly star "black fox tiger", and ordinary people cannot catch him.
In 1935, the enemy carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Shenfu area, and set up a "suppression group" in an attempt to disintegrate the Red Third Regiment and capture Wang Zhaoxiang and other leading figures.
Despite careful planning, it ultimately did not succeed. At that time, the Red 26th Army and the Red 27th Army led by Liu Zhidan fought successive battles in Shaanxi, Gansu and northern Shaanxi, and at the same time, the people also provided cover, so that the Red Third Regiment could continue to exist.
After Liu Zhidan's defeat, the enemy was anxious to find out and decided to "capture the thief and capture the king first", they thought that as long as Wang Zhaoxiang was captured and the Red Third Regiment lost its leader, then it would be easy to take them.
Therefore, in order to catch Wang Zhaoxiang, Yulin promised a reward of 5,000 yuan for catching the living, and 3,000 yuan for carrying the dead, these rewards were paid with Yuan Datou, as long as Wang Zhaoxiang was carried to the designated place, it could be cashed.
Despite facing a great **, Wang Zhaoxiang was not affected, he still maintained his daily routine, insisted on exercising, and looked for useful information by reading newspapers.
After receiving the news, Wang Zhaoxiang immediately consulted with political commissar Wang Zhaoxiang, and then sent a messenger to get in touch with the party member. The messenger hurriedly set off with the letter and Wang Zhaoxiang's orders.
However, when he arrived at Taihezhai, he found that the party member was out on a business trip. It was only after questioning that he learned about it.
Faced with the secret letter in his hand, the sender was at a loss, so he found the party member's brother through the recommendation of others, hoping that he could help transfer it. After receiving the letter, the elder brother of the party member thought that his younger brother could not come back at present, so he became curious and opened the letter privately.
The contents of the letter shocked him, his face instantly stiffened, his hands trembled, and he began to pace back and forth in the room. "If something happens to him, will I be implicated? ”
After thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to go to the battalion commander Yang Sangzhi and ask for help.
Yang Xiangzhi was very surprised when he received the letter, he quickly skimmed through the letter and laughed, and then read it many more times. He smiled when he handed the letter back, then sat at the table and looked at the letter in his hand, thinking about the 5,000 yuan bonus, he was very happy, and he decided, "I'll be a Communist Party for a few days."
Then, he began to write a reply letter, asking for dozens of taels of tobacco soil as funds for the event. After receiving the reply, the Red Third Regiment did not have too many doubts about the tobacco soil requested in the letter, because they knew that tobacco soil was a hobby of Kuomintang soldiers, and it was understandable for this party member to ask for tobacco soil in a letter.
Mao Fengxiang, as a political commissar, was worried about the dozens of taels of tobacco he received, and he was worried that it would expose their whereabouts. However, Wang Zhaoxiang disagreed with this and insisted on sending people to send tobacco to party members.
After Yang Xiangzhi received the smoke, he was overjoyed and planned to cooperate with Wang Zhaoxiang to eliminate the enemies of Taihe Village. Yang Xiangzhi asked the Red Third Regiment to set a time and asked them to bring more livestock to carry things.
Mao Fengxiang took the letter, and Wang Zhaoxiang nodded in agreement. They decided to have the Red Third Regiment meet the rebels on the hill opposite Taihe Village on the night of October 15.
As a signal, the rebels will first throw three grenades at Taihe Village, and then both sides will tie their left arms with white cloths and wear no hats as a marker.
In order to avoid accidents, Wang Zhaoxiang decided to convene a meeting of cadres and stressed that when performing tasks, he could not be directly called by his name or the title of regiment commander. Yang Xiangzhi, who received the letter, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, because he seemed to see "5,000 yuan" beckoning to him.
He first came to the prison and arranged a cell for Wang Zhaoxiang, and then easily went to the location of Wang Zhaoxiang's relatives.
Looking at Wang Zhaoxiang's relatives, Yang Xiangzhi said with anticipation: "Soon you will be able to reunite with Wang Zhaoxiang here." Ignoring the hostility of the people in the prison, he calmly departed.
In order to successfully capture Wang Zhaoxiang, Yang Xiangzhi mobilized six companies of troops and arranged around Taihe Village. They prepared three liters of grenades as a signal, ready to gradually compress the stockade, encircle and destroy the enemy.
After Yang Xiangzhi finished arranging the plan, he called his cronie Captain Cui to his side and said to him, "This time I will put you in a cage and wait for the tiger." If Wang Zhaoxiang escapes, you will come to me with his head!" ”
Captain Cui nervously assured: "Battalion commander, don't worry, I will bring you good news." On the same day, Wang Zhaoxiang led the team to the west mountain of Taihe Village, and ordered a company and three guerrilla detachments to occupy the hill for alert, waiting for the signal to be released.
However, in the middle of the night, the sound of three grenades came from Taihe Village, and there was no other movement. Although Wang Zhaoxiang felt a little strange, he guessed that it might be because the operation was successful, so he took two companies down the mountain to prepare to respond.
As soon as they were halfway down the mountain, they saw thirty or forty men coming from the opposite side, all with white cloth wrapped around their left arms, without hats, and carrying spears and spears on their backs.
Wang Zhaoxiang asked them, and they just said that they were all finished, and there was no need to clean the battlefield, and they shouted to find the regiment commander. At this time, Wang Zhaoxiang felt a little strange, and when he was about to ask more, Zhang Dechao and Gao Yucai, who had come from this company uprising, ran over, "Regiment leader, these people are all good people, and I am in the same company as them." ”
Wang Zhaoxiang nodded, and then ordered the two to gather the soldiers, but not to reveal his identity. The two carried out immediately, and when they returned, they reported that the soldiers had asked to see the regimental commander. In desperation, Wang Zhaoxiang agreed.
He carefully examined the man in front of him, then extended his hand to shake his hand and welcomed them into the Red Army. However, Wang Zhaoxiang found that this person's eyes were always fixed on the gun in his hand, which made him immediately alert, let go of his hand and took a few steps back.
The man then shouted: "The one in the white hat is the regimental commander!" As soon as the words fell, the gunshot rang out, and Zhang Dechao immediately fell to the ground. Wang Zhaoxiang took off his hat and roared angrily: "I was deceived! ”
The gunfire around him told him that he was surrounded and that there was no way out. He quickly calmed down and began to probe his surroundings.
There is a temple over there, and if there is an ambush in the temple, we must act at night, even if it costs a huge amount of **, we must rush out. After completing the deployment, Wang Zhaoxiang led the troops to rush out quickly before Yang Xiangzhi's ambush arrived.
The next day, Wang Zhaoxiang gathered the team, counted the first personnel, paid tribute to the sacrificed soldiers, and hammered the trunk hard, Yang Xiangzhi on the side knew that his plan did not work, he was very angry, and scolded his cronies.
In July of the same year, the Kuomintang was planning how to arrest Wang Zhaoxiang. At this time, in order to obtain the latest information of enemies and traitors, Wang Zhaoxiang and Yang Wenmou secretly moved to Cailin Village on the edge of the Yellow River.
However, their actions were leaked to the enemy by traitors. Before dawn, the enemy had already surrounded Cailin Village. After receiving the order, Wang Zhaoxiang immediately gathered his troops and quickly retreated to the north mountain.
However, the enemy has pressed over. In the face of the enemy's dense artillery fire, Wang Zhaoxiang ordered that those soldiers who had lived by the Yellow River since childhood and were good at turning danger into danger should break through first.
This action caused people within the Kuomintang to begin to spread the legend that Wang Zhaoxiang was a "black fox tiger", and this story was widely circulated among the people of northern Shaanxi. In 1955, when Wang Zhaoxiang served in the Logistics College, he was awarded the rank of Major General, the Order of Eighty-One of the First Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Second Class, and the Order of Liberation of the First Class.
Honor is a reward for life, and at the meeting in 1935, there were 8,000 people in the Red Army, and in the end only 23 were awarded the rank of general. "The shepherd general and instructor, with gray hair, waved his pen and raised his gun, and hurried away. "
This is Wang Zhao's summary of himself.
