Chapter 27 fourth quarter

Wang Jinshan, who is brave and fearless on the battlefield and dares to fight, is known as "Crazy Wang". In daily life, he is a person who cares about others, considers his subordinates, and pays great attention to emotions. In June 1949, Wang Jinshan, who was the deputy commander of the 3rd Corps and the commander of the 12th Army at that time, properly handled the death of his old father in a car accident and the funeral arrangements with a generous mind, which is still unforgettable. Wang Jinshan was born in a poor peasant family. His mother died of illness when he was very young, leaving his father and Jinshan brothers to depend on each other.His father worked for the landlords and brought them up with difficulty. In 1930, young Wang Jinshan bid farewell to his father and younger brother and joined the Red Army. In 1932, he bid farewell to the Dabie Mountains with the army and arrived in the Sichuan-Shanxi base. In 1935, he took part in the Long March and went to the north, far away from his hometown and his father. In August 1947, when Liu and Deng's armies leaped thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains, Wang Jinshan could have met with his relatives, but he was left behind for treatment due to a broken thigh, and this rare opportunity was lost.Although he knew the news that his father was still alive, he fought frequently, one after another, and with the barrier of Guanshan, how could he care about the reunion of father and son.

In June 1949, the Dabie Mountain region, Wang Jinshan's hometown, was liberated, and the liberation of the mainland of China was imminent, and the whole army rejoiced.During the reorganization of the army, the families of some commanders and fighters came to the army to reunite with their relatives one after another.At this time, the organization also sent people to Wang Jinshan's hometown, Taohua Township, Huang'an County, Hubei Province, to pick up his old father to join the army. 19 years away from home!The vicissitudes of time have turned upside down.Wang Jinshan back then has now grown into a senior general who is capable of writing and martial arts, wise and brave, and leads thousands of troops.Thinking of this upcoming meeting, imagining the old and kind face of his father who has gone through all kinds of hardships, even though Wang Jinshan has gone through many battles and went through life and death, his heartstrings are also trembling.He was eagerly looking forward to his father's arrival.

When the two comrades sent to pick up Wang Jinshan's father arrived in Taohua Township, Wang Jinshan's old father was carrying water for someone else's house.Hearing that his son sent someone to pick him up, he was so overjoyed that he couldn't even close his mouth with joy, so he immediately packed up and set off on the road. The old man has never left the valley of the Dabie Mountains in his life. It is the first time he has traveled far and saw many new things that he has never seen before. Seeing the world is really thanks to Chairman Mao and his old man, thanks to the blessing of the Communist Party, and thanks to my son's filial piety!"

He wished he could step over to his son in one step. Just when he was eager to see his son as soon as possible, an unfortunate thing happened. On this day, the old man and his party came to Bengbu Railway Station, Anhui, and were going to take a bus to Nanjing, and then transferred to Dangtu, Anhui, where the 12th Army Department was stationed.The two comrades accompanying Wang Jinshan's father saw that they were about to arrive at the army station, so they were a little careless, so they left the old man on the platform alone, but went shopping elsewhere.The old man had never seen a train before, he only looked at the roaring and speeding trains going north and south, how did he know that he had to stand within the white line on the platform, how did he know that the giant steel dragon was very ferocious, he stood on the platform unknowingly on the edge of...

Tragedy happened.A roaring train passed by, the old man couldn't dodge in time, and was swept under the train by the strong air current. The old man who had worked hard all his life was ruthlessly killed when the moment of happiness was approaching! This fact is too cruel.When Wang Jinshan learned about it, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. The people around Wang Jinshan were both saddened by the old man's unfortunate death and angry at the irresponsibility of the two comrades sent there.The military department immediately sent people to Bengbu to deal with the aftermath, and prepared to punish the two men.

After Wang Jinshan heard about it, he suppressed his inner grief, and called the comrade in charge of the army directly under the army, and said: "This incident should not have happened, and I am also very sad. But it has already happened, and it cannot be undone. Don't worry about it for me. Comrades are punished for personal matters. Although these two comrades made mistakes, they have made their own contributions to the revolutionary war. Now they are wrong. Education, education, lessons, and corrections are all right! They can still do something for the revolution. More work!"

The two comrades were already very ashamed and uneasy in their hearts. Wang Jinshan suddenly suffered a great misfortune. The two of them could not blame them, but Wang Jinshan did not blame him anymore. This kind of generosity is touching.The two said with tears: "We have done something wrong to Commander Wang, and we regret it to death, but Commander Wang still speaks for us, we really can't stand it!" Soon, the 3rd Corps marched to the southwest.The troops went north by car from Pukou one after another, then turned to Longhai Road to Zhengzhou, and then went south to gather in western Hunan and Hubei.The coffin of Wang Jinshan's father was transported back to Hong'an for burial along the way.Thinking of the grief of his neighbors and family members, Wang Jinshan, with the consent of his superiors, took time to personally help the coffin back to his hometown and deal with the aftermath.

This is the first time Wang Jinshan has returned to his hometown after 19 years away from home.Who would have thought that he would return with his father's coffin.The warm family affection in childhood, and the bloody fight back then, all come to my heart, and I can't help feeling a lot of emotion.After Wang Jinshan returned to his hometown, the villagers rushed to tell each other, and the house was packed with welcome and condolence people: "Jin Shan, you're back, your father misses you so much! It's a pity he didn't see you!" "Although you have become a senior cadre and have seen a lot, your father's life is not easy. We have to follow the old rules of our hometown. Stop coffin for '37' for 21 days and choose a tomb with good Fengshui. Bury your father and mother together."

Wang Jinshan thanked the folks for their love, but he could not stay in his hometown for a long time because of heavy responsibilities.He said emotionally to the villagers: "The military situation is urgent. How can I wait until March 7th to go back? Don't follow the old rules. The old man will be buried early. Good morning. If we follow the old rules in everything, how can we have today?" Turn over and liberate? My mother has been dead for many years. When her old man was buried, she didn’t even have a coffin. She was buried with a mat. Now it’s hard to tell if the bones are there. Where can I find them? Don’t disturb her old man again. Now. Bury my father next to her, and the two elders will be companions."

Relatives and friends refused to agree at first, but after repeated persuasion by Wang Jinshan, they finally agreed.Since then, two tombs have quietly stood side by side among the green mountains and green waters of the Dabie Mountains.The people in the tomb raised Wang Jinshan, a famous general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The long-term war life and hard work made Wang Jinshan sick from overwork. In 1974, he was admitted to the hospital because of vomiting blood. After examination, he was diagnosed with cardia cancer.After the operation, his life continued for another 4 years.

When Wang Jinshan was critically ill in April 1978, he frequently asked his family members: "Has Zhang Lisan not come yet? I must see him." Who is Zhang Lisan?He is also an old Red Army. He participated in the revolution in 1931. When the 4th Red Army moved westward in 1932, he and Wang Jinshan worked together in the 30th Regiment of the 10th Division of the 4th Red Army. When Wang Jinshan was the head of the regiment in 1933, he was the captain of the regiment health team.For the next 20 years, he stayed with Wang Jinshan.He successively served as the director of the health department of the 6th vertical and the health minister of the 12th army.Although Wang Jinshan has served as the chief officer of the 6th Vertical and the 12th Army for a long time, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates when he and Zhang Lisan are together.Sometimes when Wang Jinshan got angry, the comrades around him hurriedly invited Zhang Lisan, and the two of them had a chat, and Wang Jinshan's anger subsided. Wang Jinshan, who is all-powerful and stern on the battlefield, pays great attention to feelings for comrades and comrades-in-arms.When he knew that he was hopeless and was about to die, he wanted to see Zhang Lisan, an old comrade in arms who had been in love with him for decades. Zhang Lisan arrived, and as soon as the two met, they clasped their hands tightly and burst into tears.Although Zhang Lisan is an experienced doctor and knows that serious illness should not be overly excited, who can restrain the deep affection of this comrade-in-arms! At this moment of life and death, what can the two comrades in arms say?After being silent for a long time, in order to relax the unbearable atmosphere, Zhang Lisan completely forgot the common sense that smoking is not allowed in the ward, took out a cigarette, and was about to light it, when Wang Jinshan saw it and said in a weak voice: "You don't want to smoke anymore!" It turned out that Wang Jinshan didn't smoke, but Zhang Lisan smoked a lot.Wang Jinshan tried to persuade him to quit smoking repeatedly but failed.At this time, Zhang Lisan said excitedly: "You didn't see me quit smoking while you were alive, I will quit smoking in front of you today!" Zhang Lisan threw away the cigarettes and lighter. From that day on, Zhang Lisan completely quit smoking. At the farewell ceremony for Wang Jinshan's body, an old Red Army soldier with a medium build and a crew cut stood in front of the body for three hours. He sometimes burst into tears and sometimes meditated.He said to Wang Shaofeng, Wang Jinshan's son: "On the Long March, I was sick. Your father can throw away anything you want, and you must take Wang Yunqi away. At first he rode a horse, and I walked by the horse's tail. Later, he let me go. Riding a horse, he pulled the horse's tail and walked. Your father was the deputy division commander at the time!" The narrator was Wang Yunyi, Political Commissar of the Logistics Department of the Nanjing Military Region at that time. Wang Yunzu joined the Red Army in 1931. In 1935, served as secretary in the 10th Division of the 4th Army of the Red 4th Front Army.At that time, Wang Jinshan was the deputy division commander, and Wang Yunzu and Wang Jinshan worked together and forged a deep friendship. In October 1935, after the Red 4th Army crossed the grassland for the second time, it continued to move south.The 4th Red Army dispatched from the Dangba area and forcibly crossed Dajinchuan.On a moonlit night, use the darkness to cross the river.Wang Jinshan arrived at the assault platoon of the assault regiment and went ahead with the team.Because the ethnic minorities in the area used cowhide boats for ferrying, which was inconvenient for combat, the 4th Army built 4 wooden boats for the transition.Wang Jinshan originally crossed the river with the third boat, but the first boat was discovered by the enemy as soon as it set off and opened fire on our army.He was in a hurry, and immediately jumped into the second boat, trying to cross the river as soon as possible to control the troops and command the battle. The current in Dajinchuan was turbulent, and the first boat failed to land several times and was washed away by the rapids.The second boat that Wang Jinshan took became the main target of the enemy's shooting.Under the rain of bullets, the boss of the ship was killed, the platoon leader and many soldiers died, leaving six or seven people on the ship.Due to the choppy waves and the bumping of the boat in the water, it was difficult to shoot at the target. Wang Jinshan dragged the machine gun and asked the soldiers to carry it and shoot at the enemy.They advanced while fighting, and when they approached the shore, the ship was leaked by enemy bullets and sank sharply. At this time, the third boat that Wang Yunqi and the head of the 28th regiment were on board avoided the firepower of the enemy's beachhead and approached the shore from the upper reaches;Wang Yunzu shouted: "There are enemies here, fight!" Wang Jinshan heard from the boat below, and also shouted: "The voice from Secretary Wang is from above. They have already landed. Let's attack quickly!" Our troops attacked from both sides and wiped out the enemy on the shore.Wang Yunqi ran quickly with the soldiers and rescued Wang Jinshan and several soldiers ashore. Within a few minutes, the boat sank into the water and was swept away by the rapids. This time, Wang Yunzu rescued Wang Jinshan from his dead mother. Afterwards, some people criticized Wang Jinshan. As the deputy division commander, he should not have taken such a big risk with the assault platoon.Wang Jinshan smiled. In November 1935, the Red Army attacked Tianquan.Tianquan is the channel of Chuankang. Liu Xiang was afraid that the Red Army would capture Tianquan and force Chengdu to the west, so he deployed his elite "model teachers" to defend inside and outside the city.Relying on their excellent weapons and dangerous terrain, the enemy clamored that "Even if there are tens of thousands of Red Army troops, it will be difficult to fly across the sky."The 4th Red Army deployed 3 divisions to attack Tianquan County.While the 11th and 12th divisions were attacking the enemy from the east, Wang Jinshan, who was attacking from the west, led a regiment to quietly climb up to Dagangshanzui at dawn, go around behind the enemy, and attacked the enemy defending on the hill outside the city. 1 regiment, killed the enemy regiment leader.When the remnants of the enemy broke up and fled to the city, Wang Jinshan led his troops with machine guns in an emergency. With the cooperation of his brother troops, he took advantage of the situation to attack the city, wiped out the enemy's pistol battalion, and captured Tianquan County. Wang Yunzu followed Wang Jinshan in this battle.Wang Jinshan ran so fast that the troops behind couldn't catch up. Some even lost their hats and shoes.Wang Yunzu also rushed into the city barefoot. In December 1935, the 4th Red Army captured Yingjing County, and was subsequently attacked by heavy troops from the Xue Yue Department of the Kuomintang. Under the leadership of Chen Xilian and Wang Jinshan, the principal and deputy division commanders, the 10th Division fought hard against the enemy in Jizigang.The troops retreated while fighting, and the situation was very tense.Chen Xilian ordered Wang Yunzu to lead a platoon of the traffic team to block the enemy, and Wang Jinshan personally fired machine guns in a fortification to cover the actions of the platoon. After dark, Chen Xilian was about to report the situation to the military headquarters, and shouted: "Wang Yunzu, come and write a letter!" Due to the exposed terrain, Wang Yuanzu was shot by the enemy's machine gun on his way home, broke three ribs, and fell to the ground. In the field.Wang Jinshan immediately organized personnel to carry out rescue, and finally carried Wang Yunzu to a house in the middle of the mountain. At this time, Wang Yunqi was dying, he refused to drag his comrades down, and asked them to leave him.Wang Jinshan walked into the house, couldn't help explaining what happened, and ordered two messengers around him to carry Wang Yunzu away.After walking 2 miles, the two young messengers couldn't move anymore and sat on the ground crying.After Wang Jinshan saw it, he ordered the troops to resolutely stop the enemy. He ran barefoot to Chen Xilian, mobilized 12 strong cooks and breeders, and took turns to quickly carry Wang Yunzu to the rear hospital for emergency rescue. This saved his life. Standing in front of Wang Jinshan's body, Wang Yunqi said in tears, "Jinshan, you saved my life!" After Wang Jinshan's death, Deng Xiaoping, Liu Bocheng, Xu Xiangqian, Xu Shiyou, Li Desheng, Chen Xilian and other leaders all sent wreaths.The scale of the memorial service was originally planned for 500 people, but more than 1,000 people attended.Many of Wang Jinshan's comrades-in-arms and veterans traveled all the way to Nanjing to attend the memorial service and express their condolences for Wang Jinshan.
