In 1955, why was Wang Jian an, who had great achievements, absent from the award? There are several

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-12

General Wang Jian'an was born in the 4th Front Army, and Wang Shusheng, Xu Shiyou and others are like brothers, during the War of Resistance and Liberation, he led his troops to fight on the front line, and has made a lot of achievements. It stands to reason that a cadre like him, who has profound qualifications and outstanding military achievements, should be awarded at least the rank of general after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but surprisingly, he did not participate in the 1955 award, and was not re-awarded the rank of general until 1956.

Let's turn the clock back to 1936, when the Long March had just ended, and the Red Army had finally gained a foothold in Yan'an, negotiating with the Kuomintang while criticizing Zhang Guotao's erroneous line. Originally, the criticism was still within a controllable range, but with the addition of Wang Ming, the criticism gradually "changed its taste", and under Wang Ming's call, ** began to list all the officers and soldiers of the 4th Front Army as the target of criticism, which caused huge psychological pressure on Wang Jian'an and others, Xu Shiyou was so angry about this, and some cadres even wanted to raise their guns to cut themselves off.

Later, some comrades of the 4th Front Army were really humiliated, so they decided to leave Yan'an and go to Sichuan to lead a team to fight guerrillas. After Wang Jian'an learned of this, he immediately responded, and was the first to sign up for "joining the gang", but that night, before going to bed, he thought about the matter carefully and felt that doing so was tantamount to betraying the revolution, so he secretly reported the relevant situation to *** and took immediate action to isolate all the comrades who wanted to leave Yan'an for review.

Later, although the matter was properly resolved, the comrades of the 4th Front Army also had opinions about Wang Jian'an, and for a long time, everyone tacitly stayed away from Wang Jian'an and deliberately isolated him. Until around 1948, Xu Shiyou, Nie Fengzhi and other talents released their suspicions with Wang Jian'an, and everyone reconciled as before.

In the early days of the Liberation War, Wang Jian'an served in the Shandong Field Army, and the commander of the mountain field at that time was Mr. Chen, who suffered some losses in the process of fighting against the Kuomintang army because he was not familiar with the situation in Shandong, which caused Wang Jian'an's dissatisfaction, and he complained several times, and his words were all about the denial of Mr. Chen's military ability. This is a serious "following offense" behavior, which has violated the discipline of the People's Liberation Army, ** After learning of this incident, he immediately criticized Wang Jian'an and ordered him to correct it immediately.

In 1954, Gao Gang and Rao Shushi were identified as "anti-party" behaviors, and were immediately listed as negative examples and were seriously criticized by the party. Wang Jian'an used to be a capable general under Rao Shushi, and he still respected Rao Shushi, so he was reluctant to criticize Rao Shushi. The matter quickly spread, and *** immediately made a "proud and complacent" characterization of Wang Jian'an.

At the subsequent work meeting, some people suggested that this matter should be used as an opportunity to suppress Wang Jian'an and demote him as a punishment. ** Recognized this, and personally set the tone and awarded Wang Jian'an the rank of lieutenant general. Luo Shuai still admired Wang Jian'an, so he secretly helped Wang Jian'an, mediated between the two sides of the Military Commission, and finally succeeded in persuading *** to cancel the original decision, and still awarded Wang Jian'an the rank of general, but he could not participate in the 1955 award, and needed to wait until 1956 to make up the award.

In 1955, seeing that Xu Shiyou, Nie Fengzhi and other old comrades-in-arms wore new military uniforms and won many awards, Wang Jian'an was very envious, and at the same time, he also reflected on himself and wrote a letter to *** to review his mistakes. In 1956, the Military Commission held a relatively simple ceremony for Wang Jian'an, and he entered the ranks of PLA generals. However, the Military Commission has always been uneasy about him, so it has not arranged any important work for him, and has always let him be the deputy commander of the large military region.

In 1975, Wang Jian'an suddenly missed his hometown, so he took his wife back to Hong'an. Seeing this, Wang Jian'an took the initiative to greet the villagers and shook hands with everyone one by one. However, because Wang Jian'an still had official business, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he only stayed in his hometown for 2 hours this time and left in a hurry. In 1979, Wang Jian'an returned to his hometown to visit relatives again, this time he stayed in his hometown for 3 days, visited every corner of his hometown, and also ate the hometown meal that haunted his dreams.

But who would have thought that this farewell would be forever, Wang Jian'an suddenly fell ill after returning to Beijing, and was forced to be admitted to the hospital for recuperation, in early 1980, his condition deteriorated, and the doctors were unable to return to heaven, so they could only use drugs to delay his life. In late July of that year, he died of illness, and his ashes were sent to his hometown and scattered in the mountains of Hong'an.
