The story of Wang Shusheng and Wang Hongkun is like a mythical legend. In that far-reaching campaign, the brothers quickly rose through the ranks to become the best of the army thanks to their outstanding talents and outstanding performances.
Wang Shusheng successfully served as the commander of the 73rd Division in 1932 by virtue of his victories in many difficult battles; And Wang Hongkun was ordered to become the commander of the 10th Division.
During that period, the Red Army was in a difficult situation, and the Red Fourth Front Army had already advanced into the Sichuan region and was about to deploy the "Sichuan-Shaanxi Base Area." However, their story is only the tip of the iceberg among the many heroes of the Red Army.
Let's talk about Wang Youjun. He joined the Communist Party around the thirties of the last century, and with his outstanding intelligence and hard work, he quickly became the core figure of the revolutionary forces.
Beginning in the first half of 1930, he led his troops to launch a mass movement to "crack down on local tyrants and divide up the land," and achieved great success. Many civilians participated, and his troops grew in size.
Their stories show us that no matter what the odds, with strong faith and courage, miracles can be achieved.
At the first meritorious service awarding ceremony after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the appearance of the Wang brothers attracted widespread attention. The two of them are special"Brother General", fought side by side with his family during the revolutionary years, but it was rare for a brother to go all the way to the end and obtain such a high rank.
It is worth mentioning that the elder brother is four years older than the younger brother, and in that era when ordinary people lived a difficult life, the heroic performance of the two brothers was particularly valuable.
In the "Jute Uprising", the two Wang Shusheng brothers faced the enemy's blockade together, and although they were forced to separate during the breakout, they both survived. Their outstanding performance allowed their superiors to discover their organizational talents, and they were transferred to Xu Shuai's command, and in the many actions that later determined the future of the Red Army, they all made great contributions, and as a result, they continued to be promoted, and finally became the division commander.
However, when Wang Shusheng came to the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, his troops encountered survival problems, and development was even more out of reach.
first thought of his younger brother Wang Hongkun. On their way to the west, the actions of the Red Tenth Division attracted people's attention, and it turned out that their troops were full of white flowers.
After careful consideration, Wang Hongkun made a decision: to carry the silver separately, so as to reduce the burden on the first team, improve the speed of action, and avoid unnecessary losses.
However, this matter was still known to his brother Wang Shusheng. Seeing that his soldiers were not well fed and clothed, Wang Shusheng felt uneasy, he thought of the scene when they broke through together, why did his younger brother get richer and richer, but he was getting poorer and poorer?
He decided to find Wang Hongkun and be honest with him. The two brothers were born and died, and naturally they did not hide what they said. When Wang Shusheng saw Wang Hongkun, the first thing he said was: "Brother, you have made a fortune recently, I understand, should you support us a little?" ”
At that time, I left everything to my superiors except for the necessary living expenses. Faced with this situation, Wang Shusheng felt very helpless, he cared about the soldiers, and his troops were facing difficulties.
However, they are brothers born from the same roots, and Wang Shusheng is full of respect for this brother. They firmly believed that the revolutionary contingent was a family, and Wang Youjun was the person they were looking for.
Wang Youjun showed extraordinary talent from an early age, and his intelligence attracted the attention of local teachers. In order to help Wang Youjun reach his potential, Mr. Jiaoshu decided to charge only half of his tuition.
In the process of studying, Wang Youjun deeply felt the turmoil of the country, and he knew that the knowledge in books alone could not change this situation. Therefore, he resolutely decided to devote himself to the ranks of national salvation and the revolutionary cause.
Wang Youjun's talent was soon demonstrated in the army. In the early days of the revolution, the title of "three main forces" was circulated in the army, including the cooperation between Wang Youjun and another person.
The troops formed by the two of them were known for their excellent night fighting ability and surprising tactics, so Wang Youjun was respectfully known as the "Night Touch General". However, in the second half of 1930, the revolutionary action was under heavy pressure, and ** tried to suppress the revolution by various means, which put the revolutionary cause in a difficult situation.
When Wang Hongkun's troops approached the town of Xiaohekou in the Qinling Mountains, an advance force had already entered in advance to collect supplies for the follow-up large army. They soon made an unexpected discovery, and this discovery was Wang Youjun's.
With his unique insight, he quickly spotted the anomalies in the people around him. After some inquiry, they found out that he was actually a former local tyrant county magistrate, who was about to return to his hometown with more than 40 boxes of oranges and property.
Wang Youjun's material collection ability and combat ability stood out in the Red Army, which made Wang Hongkun full of love for him, lest he be snatched away by others.
Under Wang Hongkun's order, Wang Youjun went to the 73rd Division, hoping that he would be able to solve the plight of his brother's troops. At this point, his skills were put to good use, and he found the problem of this army and began to look for a solution, successfully solving their problem.
What surprised Wang Shusheng even more was that Wang Youjun not only solved the logistics problem, but also showed excellent combat ability, which made Wang Shusheng feel that he had picked up a treasure. So, Wang Shusheng appointed him as the head of the regiment and saw his performance.
Wang Youjun lived up to expectations, and he led the team to become a famous group of heroes. His actions largely compensated for the lack of equipment, he was able to quickly solve the shortcomings, and the concealment was maximized, so that the night battles were fought very beautifully, and many victories were completed by surprise.
In the past, he was young and promising, like an uncarved jade, full of vitality. It was in 1935, and the young soldiers fought bloodily to defend their homeland.
Seeing this, Wang Youjun was furious in his heart, and he set an example, holding the machine gun tightly and fiercely at the enemy. His bravery and fearlessness aroused the morale of the whole division, and everyone rushed to the front one after another.
However, the war was merciless, and a merciless bullet hit him, and at the age of 24, he left us forever.
At the moment of receiving the task, Wang Youjun was full of excitement and hoped to fight a beautiful offensive battle. However, the large army had just crossed the meadow, the physical exertion was enormous, many of them were seriously ill, and Wang Youjun himself was skinny and skinny.
In his hand he clutched a jar of precious ghee, which had been given to him by the squad leader of the traffic team at that time. Today, Wang Youjun has fallen on the steps of the temple, and at a young age he has become a genius general, capturing many batches of supplies for the troops.
Although they succeeded in taking the stronghold, no one cheered, because they knew that they had lost their good division commander. Wang Youjun was buried by the warriors on a hillside near Qiuji Temple, which was then full of wildflowers.
His relict was a bottle of ghee that he didn't want to use.
Xu Shiyou looked up to the sky and sighed, remembering that a large number of oranges were seized from the hands of the county magistrate back then, and the troops had opened a "orange feast", and the sour fragrance still echoed on the tip of his tongue.
Although today's oranges are not unusual, we will never forget that it is the blood and sweat of the martyrs that brought us to our current peaceful and prosperous world.
