Among the founding lieutenant generals of New China, many of them joined the Red Army at a very young age and fought on the battlefield. In the war years, they were not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of hardship, heroic struggle, and finally opened up a new world. Although the cultural quality of these people is not very high, they are bold and loyal, and they have made great achievements.
Today, let's talk about the founding lieutenant general Wang Bicheng. The general was very personal. Born in 1912 in Macheng, Hubei Province, he joined the peasant movement at the age of 14 and joined the Red Army at the age of 17 as a service soldier and a messenger. At the age of 19, he served as a company commander in the Red Fourth Front. In him, there are too many stories to sing and cry, and listen to the editor one by one.
01. Tiger Regiment
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Bicheng was promoted to regimental commander. He led his troops to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle behind enemy lines in southern Jiangsu. He has a strong fighting style and fights tirelessly. From 1938 to 1939, he led his troops to more than 200 large and small battles with the Japanese and Japanese puppet armies, with an average of one battle every two days. At that time, the people of southern Jiangsu called Wang Bicheng "Wang Tiger" and the regiment led by Wang Bicheng "Tiger Regiment".
02, how to get a "dead" word
General Wang Bicheng is famous in the army, that is, he loves to use the word "death" to give orders. The order came out of his mouth, either "fighting to the death" or "sticking to it", either "shooting" or "killing the head". Or it's "head up to see you."
In April 1943, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 12 regiments and nearly 20,000 men and horses to approach the Liangli area in a vain attempt to encircle and annihilate the 16th Brigade of the New Fourth Army there and create a second "Anhui Incident" in southern Anhui.
At that time, Wang Bicheng was the brigade commander of the Sixteenth Brigade, and Jiang Weiqing was the political commissar. At a meeting, political commissar Jiang Weiqing conveyed the breakthrough order to the regiments. After the transmission, Brigade Commander Wang Bicheng made a speech. Only to see him stand up and say in a loud voice: "Political Commissar Jiang said that if the task cannot be completed, the regimental commander and political commissar will be dealt with by military law." I said that Commissar Jiang was too polite to complete the task, and the regimental commander and political commissar came to see him! Meeting! ”
The words are concise and concise. The warriors were all in awe.
03, stand still
In February 1945, Wang Bicheng, who was the commander of the first column of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region, personally visited the forward position of the Tianmu Mountain Battlefield and commanded the battle. At that time, Wang Bicheng's position was only two or three hundred meters away from the enemy. Only bullets were heard hitting the canopy of trees, and leaves fell one after another. The warriors urged Wang Bicheng to hide, but he did not move. After a while, another bullet flew by, and Wang Bicheng remained motionless. At the fierce battle, the deputy squad leader of the guard bansun was shot and fell, and everyone advised Wang Bicheng to withdraw to safety, but he still stood still. Still not moving. When the soldiers saw this, their morale soared and they charged forward.
04, a blanket with life
Wang Bicheng has a blanket that has been covered for forty-nine years, this blanket is beige, and there are more than ten patches overlapping and overlapping, which is the relic of Xu Xukui, the commander of the Ninth Regiment of the Second Column of the Northern Jiangsu Headquarters of the New Fourth Army, after his death on September 6, 1940. Before Xu Xukui died, he asked the guards to give the blanket to Wang Bicheng. Wang Bicheng was only 25 years old at the time. In order to commemorate his comrades-in-arms, he has always put blankets around him, draped on his body to resist the cold when it is cold. This blanket accompanied Wang Bicheng day and night until his death.
05, the tutor is extremely strict: once stipulated that "five are not allowed"
After liberation, General Wang Bicheng's tutoring was also very strict. He went down to the troops to inspect, and he did not participate in any banquet with big fish and big meat, which caused quite a lot of "strike and banquet storms." He strictly demanded the staff around him and the families of his children, and stipulated the "five no-nos" for the family, that is, they were not allowed to participate in politics, they were not allowed to go to the secretary's office to read documents, they were not allowed to do anything in his name, they were not allowed to take the cars assigned to him, and they were not allowed to engage in specialization.
