In fact, in the history of our Red Army, some soldiers also experienced two Long Marches, the first time we all know, that was after the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, and the second time was actually in 1944, when the Situation was that the Southward Detachment of the Eighth Route Army broke through the blockade during the period in order to meet the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army led by Li Xiannian, during which it broke through the blockade, and after the Japanese surrendered, they went south again, thinking of meeting the Dongjiang Column, but encountered the sniper attack of the Kuomintang, and in desperation, they went north again to meet the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army again, and waited until the outbreak of the civil war. After experiencing many difficulties again, he returned to Yan'an, and Chairman Mao later praised this southern expedition and the northern war as the "second long march."
The protagonist of our day is General Wang Enmao, the former commander of the Xinjiang Military Region, who personally experienced the "Second Long March" and followed General Wang Zhen in his many military achievements.
General Wang Enmao is a new person in Jiangxi Yongxin, born in 1913, his life is also very legendary, when it really experienced many ups and downs, Wang Enmao's family is not rich, but still is still provided to study, this learning experience is also a good way to improve Wang Enmao's cultural and ideological awareness.
When wang Enmao was in middle school, he came into contact with a lot of progressive revolutionary ideas, which undoubtedly had a good premise for him to participate in the Chinese revolution in the future, and then a major event occurred in his hometown, that is, chairman Mao presided over the Sanwan reorganization, and later Wang Enmao also climbed Jinggang Mountain with the troops.
After all, he was an intellectual, and he was very intelligent and young, and he was soon reused, and his positions ranged from minister of culture of the Yongxin County Soviet Government, secretary general of the county party committee, officer and secretary of the Propaganda Department of the Xianggan Provincial Cpc Committee, and then propaganda officer of the Political Department of the Sixth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
After the great Long March, Wang Enmao can be said to have experienced the test of life and death, when Wang Enmao was seriously ill, almost unable to get out of the meadow, fortunately, the superior General Wang Zhen could not bear to abandon him, so he specially transferred a mule for him, so Wang Enmao successfully walked out of the predicament with the help of mules, and for General Wang Zhen's kindness, Wang Enmao could not forget it for a lifetime.
Before the liberation, Wang Enmao followed General Wang Zhen to Xinjiang, and later Wang Zhen was transferred, and Wang Enmao took charge of this area of Xinjiang, and began to serve successively as commander and political commissar of the Xinjiang Military Region, first political commissar of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and first secretary of the Xinjiang Branch of the CPC Central Committee.
At that time, Xinjiang's problems were indeed very big, but under the leadership of Wang Enmao, earth-shaking changes were realized, and even in difficult times, Xinjiang's grain was dispatched to support the whole country.
Later, Wang Enmao also served as the secretary of the Secretariat of the Northwest Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the deputy political commissar of the Nanjing Military Region, the first secretary of the Jilin Provincial CPC Committee, the first political commissar of the Jilin Provincial Military Region, and was elected vice chairman of the CPPCC National Committee at the Fourth Session of the Sixth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in 1986. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of founding lieutenant general.
During the special period, Wang Enmao also experienced some twists and turns, but was later personally interrogated by Chairman Mao, and thus transferred to the Nanjing Military Region as deputy political commissar.
There has always been a great pain in the heart of General Wang Enmao, that is, his third son, Wang Beixin, who was born in Xinjiang and was later killed by a grenade in 1967. As for Wang Enmao's other children, they are actually very good.
