In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in that year, because of the aggression of the Japanese devils, many military talents sprang up everywhere, and they dedicated themselves to the revolution, including an old general, and we want to tell his story today.
His name was Wang Shusheng, and he was named a founding general in 1955. In 1973, the commanders of the eight major military regions were transferred, six of which were his subordinates during the Red Army. They are Chen Xilian, Qin Jiwei, Wang Bicheng, Li Desheng, Xu Shiyou and Han Xianchu.
General Wang was born in 1905, a native of Magang, Hebei Province, and his family was very ordinary, but his parents hoped that he would find a way out through studying, so in his early years, he was also studying hard every day, and when he was in school, because the voice of revolutionary new ideas gradually grew, he was also deeply affected, so he embarked on the road of revolution.
At that time, when he was in school, he founded a society to publicize new ideas, and with his own efforts, the spread of his revolutionary ideas, there were many like-minded and good friends, at that time, his leadership ability was reflected, it can be said that he led the early revolution.
Later, he held many student movements, and later joined the army, participated in the agrarian revolution, the War of Resistance, and the War of Liberation, and within a few years, his reputation in the army grew.
He was a commander who was good at using soldiers, and after the failure of the Western Expedition, he withdrew to northern Shaanxi overnight for the sake of the soldiers' lives, but on the way back, he encountered bandits, and it was late at night, when the bandits came to rob their guns with a large number of people.
At that time, the fighters all said that they wanted to fight, but Wang Shusheng did not think so, he felt that the revolution just needed talents, and he could not let these fighters worship and send them to death, so he gave up his dignity, knelt down to the bandits, and told the soldiers, these bandits want money and no one, for the sake of the future revolution, sure enough, these bandits only need money and guns, and then let them go.
Although he knelt down, but his practice seemed very high, he retained the seeds of revolution, he could bend and stretch, not only that, after he became the founding general, as before, still hard and simple, when the conditions of the country were good, he was ready to equip these old revolutionaries with vehicles and build new dwellings.
Unfortunately, in 1974, when he died of illness in Beijing, a solemn memorial service was held in the auditorium of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
