Huang Kecheng returned to Beijing, Wang Fuzhi apologized, and Huang said, You did the right thing
FigGeneral Wang Fuzhi once asked the staff around him: "Where is Wang Fuzhi now?" At this time, Wang Fuzhi had served as the secretary of the provincial party committee in Shanxi for five years.
Wang Fuzhi has a very rich revolutionary experience, on September 23, 1923, he was born in Zizhou County, Shaanxi Province, Sanyanquan Loutou Fujia Xinzhuang, in 1935 to participate in the revolution, when he was only 12 years old, was just a child.
Due to poverty, Wang Fuzhi dropped out of school at a very young age, and in order to make a living, he had to work in a wolf-infested place in the wild. Fortunately, the Red Army led by Liu Zhidan was often found near his hometown, and Wang Fuzhi found that the Red Army troops were different from the warlord troops because their soldiers often carried water for the common people.
One day, Wang Fuzhi took the initiative to find the Red Army and asked to join them. When the cadres of the Red Army saw his childish face, they asked him how old he was. Wang Fuzhi said confidently: "Look how big I am." ”
The cadre looked him up and down for a moment and said, "You're sixteen or seventeen years old, aren't you?" Wang Fuzhi was very happy in his heart, because he found that his estimate was very accurate.
So, he joined the Young Communist Battalion of the Red 26th Army and became a member of this team. The soldiers of this young communist battalion were all sixteen or seventeen years old, and Wang Fuzhi was about the same age as them.
At that time, on the red basketball court in the Shaanxi-Gansu base area, there was such a teenager, he was tall and strong, and he was the main player of the basketball team. In a battle, the Red Army decided to use the method of besieging the city to send reinforcements, and Wang Fuzhi's Young Communist Battalion also made great contributions.
In battle, armed with a shuttle dart, he leaped up to the neck of an enemy, so frightened that the enemy let go and the gun slid down. This is Wang Fuzhi back then, a tall, mighty, brave and warlike Red Army soldier.
FigThe first gun captured by Wang Fuzhi at the site of the Battle of Laoshan was the beginning of his military career. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the reorganized Red 15th Army became the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and Wang Fuzhi served as the head of the Surveying and Mapping Unit.
and Huang Kecheng's fate Huang Kecheng was appointed as the political commissar of the 344 Brigade, which is accidental and inevitable. During his revolutionary career, he served in the Eighth Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the ** Red Army, but was demoted for repeatedly opposing the "left-leaning" policy of blind activism, and was not reused again until northern Shaanxi.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Kecheng served as the head of the Organization Department of the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, he found that the people did not allow the Eighth Route Army to set up a political commissar, and the disadvantages of abolishing the political commissar system were obvious, and he immediately suggested to ** after the Battle of Pingxingguan to restore the political commissar system, and after consideration, it was decided to appoint Huang Kecheng as the political commissar of the 344 Brigade.
Thanks to his efforts, the morale of the troops was improved and he also established his prestige. Under his leadership, the 344 Brigade grew from more than 6,000 people to 250,000 people, strong soldiers and horses.
Huang Kecheng, the teacher, needed an assistant to accompany him due to his myopia, so Wang Fuzhi became his special driver. Wang Fuzhi rode a bicycle, not only carrying the division commander Huang Kecheng, but also carrying his personal notes, maps and other tools, and even shuttling around the battlefield to observe the enemy's situation.
This fate began with a bicycle captured in a battle, and the regiment commander said to Wang Fuzhi: "You are of great use." Later, I found out that his "great use" was to carry Huang Kecheng to the troops for inspection.
This is the interesting story between Master Huang Kecheng and his "full-time driver" Wang Fuzhi.
Wang Fuzhi reported the problems of the 22nd regiment to Huang Kecheng, who agreed with his views and put forward suggestions for rectification. Subsequently, Huang Kecheng published a critical article in the magazine of the Third Division, hoping that the 22nd Regiment could change itself.
Wang Fu has been following Huang Kecheng since then, from the Third Division of the New Fourth Army to the Northeast, and his position has also changed in the reorganization of the army.
In 1981, when Zhang Aiping, then chief of the General Staff, went to Xinjiang to inspect the work, he met Wang Fuzhi, who was the deputy commander of the large military region, and praised him for his many meritorious achievements in the southern and northern wars during the war years.
In the general attack on Tianjin, Wang Fuzhi was hit in the thigh by a bullet during the operation of the commanding troops, but he refused to leave the front-line command position and insisted on not carrying out the ** until the afternoon when the troops fully conquered Tianjin.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Fuzhi served as the commander of the 115th Division ** of the 39th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and the defensive position of the division led by the division was east of the Imjin River.
During a meeting to study frontline operations, Wang Fuzhi's cave was buried in sand and gravel shattered by the enemy, including himself, staff officers and Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Ming.
The outside world knows nothing about the situation in the cave.
When the commander of the Volunteer Army learned that Wang Fuzhi and other subordinates were trapped in a cave, he immediately ordered an all-out rescue, and even said that even if he sacrificed, he would transport the body back to the motherland for burial.
Although the bombing of enemy planes made rescue work difficult, the commander of the engineer company noticed that flies were flying out of the gap in the hole and decided that there was still a possibility of survival. In the end, with the concerted efforts of everyone, Wang Fuzhi and other three people were successfully rescued, but Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Ming and several other division staff officers died in the **.
Wang Fuzhi and others, who were buried under the rubble in an instant, were not injured, but how to get out of danger became a problem. They spent 3 hours digging each other by hand and planned to use outside forces, but were unsuccessful.
With no water, they even had to collect each other's urine to stay alive. Fortunately, the people outside did not give up on them and eventually succeeded in rescuing them all.
FigGeneral Wang Fuzhi and his comrades-in-arms took a group photo in front of the bombed mountainside Wang Fuzhi and his staff officers, who had experienced the test of life and death, hugged each other tightly and burst into tears at the moment they were rescued.
They will never forget that year in the hole, two flies flew out and saved their lives. General Wang Fuzhi was always full of gratitude to the flies, regarded them as benefactors, and never harmed them.
In September 1955, Wang Fuzhi was awarded the rank of colonel and was promoted to major general in 1964. In 1968, he was transferred to the General Staff and participated in the command of the Zhenbao Island Self-Defense Counterattack and the Xisha Naval Battle.
In 1973, Wang Fuzhi personally led the personnel to inspect the Shandong Peninsula and other places, and drew up a battle plan, which was praised by the people. In his life, there is another important event worth mentioning, that is, his apology to the old chief Huang Kecheng.
When Wang Fuzhi was transferred to Shanxi, Huang Kecheng had been the vice governor of Shanxi for 10 years, and he expressed his apology to Huang Kecheng and won Huang Kecheng's understanding and acceptance.
When Huang Kecheng received the news that he was appointed as vice governor of Shanxi, he was very happy and in high spirits. He splashed ink and wrote a poem: "Looking back on the past, all things have become dreams, and all things are competing for beauty; There is no other thought about going west, and I wish to take effect as much as possible. ”
Before leaving, Yang Shangkun made a special trip to greet Huang Kecheng on behalf of ***, brought *** greetings, and encouraged him: "After arriving in Shanxi, you just have to do it boldly and with confidence." ”
However, what he didn't expect was that in 1975, Wang Fuzhi was transferred to Shanxi and served as the commander of the Shanxi Provincial Military Region and secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee. Although Wang Fuzhi was close to the old chief Huang Kecheng at that time, and often missed him and worried about his situation, he did not take the initiative to visit the old chief during his five years in Shanxi.
This is because Wang Fuzhi is worried that because of his own situation, it will bring greater difficulties to the old chief. Until 1977, Huang Kecheng was transferred to the first military commission adviser, Wang Fuzhi and most of the leading cadres of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee, saw off the old chief at the Jin Temple.
General Wang Fuzhi apologized to the old chief, Huang Kecheng, because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Huang Kecheng, so he did not go to see him. Huang Kecheng understood Wang Fuzhi's situation and expressed his gratitude for his concern.
Huang Kecheng was later transferred to Beijing to work as an adviser to the Military Commission, and was elected as a member of the Committee and the Standing Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission at the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee in December 1978.
Despite his poor physical condition, he shirked several times due to the importance of the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but finally decided to accept the position. He made an outstanding contribution to the prosperity of the motherland.
In 1980, Wang Fuzhi left Shanxi under the care of *** and was transferred to the deputy commander of the Xinjiang Military Region.
In 1986, Wang Fuzhi returned to Beijing for a meeting, and when he heard that Huang Kecheng was seriously ill, he immediately went to the hospital to visit. When Huang Kecheng was dying, he held the old chief's hand, and Huang Kecheng opened his eyes with difficulty and recognized Wang Fuzhi.
At the end of the year, Huang Kecheng died of illness, and Wang Fuzhi was deeply saddened.
Although General Wang Fuzhi's life was full of challenges, his later life was very peaceful. In 1986, he moved his family to Dalian, which became the spiritual sustenance of his later life.
General Wang Fuzhi also served as a member of the Seventh and Eighth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in his later years, and did not retire until 1988. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China in 2021, General Wang Fuzhi, as a veteran party member who joined the party, personally inscribed the four characters of "not forgetting the original intention", encouraging each other with the staff around him, and not forgetting his original revolutionary intention.
As of April 2022, General Wang Fuzhi is one of the only five remaining founding generals, and his inscription in his later years is still praised by the world.
