During Kim Il Sung's visit to China, Major General put his arms around his neck. **M.R.: He is not a battalion commander.
Historically, China and the DPRK have maintained close cultural exchanges and deep friendship. Especially after the founding of New China, in the face of US aggression, China stepped forward and sent volunteers to resist US aggression and aid Korea to help restore peace in Korea.
Eventually, the war ended in July 1953 with the signing of an armistice. Just four months later, Prime Minister Kim Il Sung, as the first visiting foreign head of state, paid a goodwill visit to China.
He was given a grand welcome, and the Prime Minister personally accompanied him on a parade of the three armed forces.
In a solemn atmosphere, a man in a military uniform suddenly hugged Kim Il Sung's neck tightly and said, "Old Kim, I miss you so much!" * immediately stepped forward and sternly stopped him, saying: "This person is no longer the battalion commander of the Anti-Japanese Union, he is the head of North Korea, and your behavior is very inappropriate." ”
The soldier immediately apologized, but Kim Il Sung shook his hand with a smile on his face and gave the soldier a big hug. So, who is this "strange man" who can be called a brother and sister to a foreign head of state?
A lonely soul on the snowfield", he is the anti-Japanese hero Wang Minggui, who was Kim Il Sung's comrade-in-arms. Born in the rock of Jilin, he has won the respect of his opponents with his unique combat strategy.
In 1932, he went to Liaoning Province to make a living, when the three eastern provinces had been completely occupied by Japan, and as a gold miner, he worked hard day after day, but he was also bullied by the Japanese overseers, and his life was difficult.
The grinding at the bottom made him deeply understand the suffering of the people, which led him to think about changing the status quo. He understood that to solve this problem, it was first necessary to expel the Japanese, and this goal could only be achieved if the country was strong and the army was strong.
With the determination to resist Japan, Wang Minggui threw himself into the anti-Japanese group with a pickaxe, and he quickly rose to prominence and became a member of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army with his flexible combat awareness and outstanding military talent.
In 1936, Wang Minggui was exposed to the concept of guerrilla warfare for the first time during his training at the military school"The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue"The sixteen-character strategy deeply moved him.
He thought deeply and finally understood the reason why the Japanese army was bound to win the three eastern provinces, that is, the three eastern provinces were strategically located, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and rich in resources, making them ideal places for the Japanese invasion base camp.
In order to stop the ambitions of the Japanese army, Wang Minggui combined the local environment and cold climate, innovated a new type of warfare, he formed a cavalry unit, only one or two hundred people at a time, only to fully grasp the enemy's situation, to ensure that the attack can be quickly resolved, this tactic is called"Small group guerrilla warfare"。
Wang Minggui's cavalry was a nightmare for the Japanese invaders, and they killed with one blow and showed no mercy. The Japanese set up a "crusade team" to try to eliminate Wang Minggui, but they lost their way in the vast snowfield and finally annihilated the whole army.
Wang Minggui is like a "devil", so that the invaders are frightened, they call him "a ghost on the snowfield", his magic did not make the Japanese uneasy day and night, no matter day and night, the Japanese hide behind heavy machine guns, staring at the world outside the wall, the wall has been thickened repeatedly, the gun holes are dense, but Wang Minggui can always surprise and hit them fiercely.
In those dark times, every Japanese invader lived in fear of being killed, and they had to put a pistol under their pillow every night in case they died in their sleep.
Many years later, the Japanese incorporated this fear into their writings, describing the winter days in the Khing'an Mountains as follows: "In the winter of the Great Khing'an Mountains, despite the struggle with the Siberian cold current and wolves, the most fearful thing for the men in the mountains was the presence of Wang Minggui's bandits in the area after the start of the Great East Asian War, disrupting our economy."
Their presence makes the barren mountains in winter feel terrifying, and the personnel working in the field feel extremely nervous. Even in the description, they called Wang Minggui a "bandit."
However, Wang Minggui became more and more courageous the more he fought, and finally attacked a number of military factories and material bases of the Japanese army, resulting in a shortage of materials for the Japanese army, laying a solid foundation for the anti-Japanese struggle in the Central Plains.
In 1940, Wang Minggui faced a major challenge. The heroic sacrifice of General Yang Jingyu dealt a heavy blow to the whole army and even affected the implementation of the battle plan.
However, in order to boost morale, Wang Minggui accepted a new task to take Keshan County. Keshan County is located in the northeastern region and was invaded by the Japanese"Large rear"In the Keshan area, the enemy deployed a large number of troops, including power grids, batteries and other defensive facilities, and the total number of the puppet army and the Japanese army also reached more than a thousand people.
This is a difficult task, but Wang Minggui is determined to outwit Keshan and win glory for the country.
Wang Minggui only has about 100 subordinates, and it is impossible to swallow Keshan in one bite. But with the help of intelligence officers, he spent several months studying the situation in Keshan County in detail and drawing up a simple map.
He applied to the organization for additional personnel to join the battle plan. On 21 September, under the cover of night, he brought the three detachments to the garrison next to Keshan County, where he spent several days explaining his battle plan to everyone and conducting actual exercises.
After everything was ready, on the 25th, the three detachments changed into the clothes of the puppet army, disguised themselves as a squad returning to the city, and swaggered to the gate of Keshan County. "Who are you? ”
The puppet army defending the city did not let them in immediately, but carefully interrogated. However, an unexpected situation arose. At the appointed time, the two rows of street lamps beside the road were lit up in unison, completely exposing Wang Minggui and his soldiers to the enemy's sight.
Wang Minggui calmly pressed the pouch of the gun and responded calmly: "Those who go out are their own brothers, can the bandits still stand here?" Hurry up and open the door, the brothers are going back to relieve their fatigue! ”
The night was dark, and the team led by Wang Minggui deliberately dispersed their positions, which made most of the puppet soldiers in the city believe them when they saw their clothes. Although the puppet army heard their dissatisfaction, they did not get angry and opened the city gate directly.
Wang Minggui led the team into the city in a grand manner. In order not to startle the snake, Wang Minggui kept the team loose and slowly moved along the street. Thanks to the previous detailed information, they quickly found the location of the pseudo-legion headquarters.
At this time, there was a sentry standing guard outside the door. Wang Minggui winked, and the two warriors rushed up to restrain the sentry. "Don't move, don't talk, we're the Anti-Coalition Army!
If you don't resist, you have a way to live. The sentry trembled with fright and offered to hand over the gun to the warrior. Wang Minggui waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately rushed into the base camp of the puppet army, occupying the favorable terrain, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the puppet army that had not yet reacted.
They quickly seized the puppet army's ** and put the important ** into a bag. The heavy ** was set up at the door, ready to meet the Japanese army at any time.
At this time, a group of valiant warriors rushed to the artillery battery of Cross Street, quickly eliminated the enemy troops, and successfully seized control of the artillery. Wang Minggui immediately rushed to the county office and the police academy, however, the enemy was fully prepared for defense, and when they saw our soldiers rushing towards them, they did not hesitate to carry out a fierce counterattack.
Faced with this dilemma, Wang Minggui ordered the soldiers to throw a large number of grenades, and at the same time mobilized the heavy ** of the puppet army warehouses to carry out endless bombardment of the enemy.
In the fierce battle, the Japanese and the puppet army were extremely heavy, and after only 20 minutes, they had completely lost the ability to fight. At this time, Wang Minggui quickly opened the prison next to him and released more than 300 "prisoners".
They saw the warriors moving forward bravely, and they all picked up the enemy's ** and joined the battle. Together with the soldiers, they advanced smoothly all the way, Wang Minggui had basically controlled the entire Keshan County, while the Japanese invaders' troops were belated.
The soldiers waiting at the west gate saw two trucks rushing towards them and immediately attacked them fiercely. The Japanese troops who charged several times were beaten in disarray, and in desperation, they had no choice but to announce the abandonment of Keshan.
This surprise attack on Keshan lasted only more than two hours, but a large number of guns and ammunition were harvested, and our army won a complete victory. Wang Minggui's bravery and resourcefulness changed the Japanese invaders' complexion, and also greatly boosted the morale of our army, allowing them to regain trust in the coalition forces.
After the Battle of Keshan, Wang Minggui became the commander of the third battalion of the 88th training battalion of the Soviet Union, and met Kim Il Sung, who had experienced a hundred battles. Although they come from different countries and peoples, they share the same goal - to liberate their compatriots and defeat the aggressor.
The friendship between the two developed rapidly, and in order to continue to stabilize the situation in the northeast, Wang Minggui was often sent back to the northeast to reconnoiter the enemy situation and interfere with the actions of the Japanese army.
Wang Minggui and Kim Il Sung discussed the battle plan together and accumulated a deep friendship between comrades-in-arms. After Japan's surrender in 1945, they decided to stay in the three eastern provinces to help China solve the Japanese problem once and for all.
In August, the Soviet Union gathered a million-strong army into the northeast region and fought the Japanese Kwantung Army in its final battle. After a short battle, the Soviet army was victorious, and the Japanese army fled back to their homeland, but the Japanese immigrants who remained were burned and looted by the Soviet army, suffering heavy casualties.
In this battle, Wang Minggui also participated, and on the 19th, he led his troops to capture Qiqihar and became the deputy commander of Qiqihar. He was finally able to return to his country and fight for its liberation.
Faced with the first difficult question before them, which was how to deal with Japanese immigrants, some fighters, out of hatred for the Japanese, called for their blood to avenge their fallen brothers.
However, Wang Minggui has a different view on this. He understood the sacrifices of the war and believed that the Japanese immigrants were just as much victims of the war as we were. In order to express their gratitude, the Japanese people sealed Wang Minggui's name in their clothes, they cherished this hard-won peaceful life, and always taught their children and grandchildren to remember General Wang's kindness.
Next, Wang Minggui set about purging the reactionaries in Qiqihar, and he led a coalition of parties to actively propagate our party's ideas. He also set up the Nenjiang Command and openly recruited soldiers from the public.
With the replenishment of the materials left over by the Japanese army and the support of **, the conscription activities were in full swing. Wang Minggui formed a powerful armed force and made great contributions to the liberation of the northeast region.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Minggui was promoted to the founding major general and assumed the post of deputy commander of the Heilongjiang Military Region. However, his original intention has not changed, and he wholeheartedly works for the welfare of the people in the Northeast region and makes unremitting efforts for social development.
Wang Minggui and Kim Il Sung have been comrades-in-arms for 14 years, and although Wang Minggui's identity is different now, he still remembers his former comrades-in-arms. When receiving the head of state, he couldn't help but hug Kim Il Sung, forgetting the identities of the two and only feeling that Kim Il Sung was still the battalion commander who fought with him.
They hugged each other, with only a simple sentence: "Here comes Lao Jin, I miss you!" ”
After returning home, Kim Il Sung still remembered this old comrade-in-arms and took great pains to present two wagons of apples, which were Wang Minggui's favorite fruit and symbolized the eternal friendship between them.
