In the Second Field Army, Wang Jinshan was a general under the command of Liu Deng. During the Liberation War, he led the 6 columns to carry the Erye Banner, fought many hard and vicious battles, and achieved great success.
When Nino's 9 corps were formed and 3 corps were formed, who would be the commander of the corps?
Chen Geng, Chen Zaidao, Chen Xilian, Yang Yong, and Wang Jinshan were all fierce generals in the war. At present, there are only 3 corps, who is more suitable for the position, so that Liu Deng commander took a lot of hesitation.
As the commander of the corps, you must not only have the ability to fight, but also have the ability to do other aspects, such as unity, foreign affairs, and politics.
Chen Geng, Chen Xilian, Yang Yong, and Chen Zaidao, who had such abilities, all met the requirements. Although Chen Zaidao did not serve as the commander of the corps, he was appointed commander of the Henan Military Region, at the same level as the corps. The only difference is that working in this place belongs to the second-line troops.
Chen Xilian served as the commander of the 3 Corps, Chen Geng served as the commander of the 4 Corps, Yang Yong served as the commander of the 5 Corps, and Wang Jinshan was appointed as the deputy commander of the 3 Corps.
When he saw that the commander of the 5th Corps was Yang Yong, he was not convinced, and said to Chief Liu Deng: "He, by what?" ”
In Wang Jinshan's mind, he and Yang Yong had similar seniority, and fought many battles in the War of Resistance Against Japan, such as the Battle of ShentouLing and the Battle of Xiangtangpu, while Yang Yong participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan. In the 8-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yang Yong attached equal importance to military and political work, and did not have as many achievements as Wang Jinshan.
During the Liberation War, although the 1st Column led by Yang Yong fought many battles and won the commendation of the whole army, it was still weaker than the 6th Column led by Wang Jinshan. During the Battle of Dingtao, Wang Jinshan carried a large banner and leaped thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, with the 6 columns becoming the vanguard; in the Xiangfan Campaign, the 6 columns led by Wang Jinshan annihilated 20,000 enemy troops.
In terms of fighting, Wang Jinshan was "crazy" compared to Yang Yong, and his record was also higher. But Yang Yong was not weak, although he did not fight a battle like the 6 columns as the leader, but he made many military achievements under Liu Deng.
Wang Jinshan fought fiercely, and Liu Deng's chief also agreed. Indeed, there was something unfair to him, and I knew how wronged he was in his heart. Political Commissar Deng said: It is not enough to fight a war, and the commander of the corps needs to have a lot of things. In this regard, Yang Yong's comprehensive ability is stronger than yours. Therefore, Wang Jinshan became the deputy commander.
Although Wang Jinshan did not serve as the commander of the corps, Liu Deng handed over the 12th Army reorganized from the 6th Column to Wang Jinshan and made him the commander and political commissar. For Wang Jinshan, who loves to fight, it is good to be able to command the troops, and he has no choice but to obey as the deputy commander
