Wang Jinshan was a famous general of the Red Fourth Front, a general cultivated by Hong'an, Hubei Province, the first general of China. During the Red Army period, Wang Jinshan served as the commander of the main Red 28th Regiment, and at the age of 21, he was promoted to the commander of the 93rd Division.
So, what about Wang Jinshan during the War of Resistance Against Japan? Many eighth route army generals have served in one unit for a long time, but Unlike Wang Jinshan, he has served as a brigade commander or deputy in several units, trained in many posts, and eventually grown into a rare general.
The Eighth Route Army was originally formed, with Wang Jinshan as the deputy commander of the 772nd Regiment, which was subordinate to Chen Geng's 386th Brigade. Being able to serve as a general under the command of the great general Chen Geng was the luck and glory of Wang Jinshan's life. We know that the 129th Division had a beautiful ambush in the village of Qiqi.
In the first ambush, Chen Geng asked Wang Jinshan to lead a battalion plus a special agent company to successfully ambush the Japanese army. Once too embarrassed, the 129th Division decided to ambush the Japanese army again at the village of Qiqi, and Chen Geng again entrusted the ambush task to Wang Jinshan, who once again won the victory. Master Liu Bocheng said that it was a good battle fought by Wang Jinshan.
Soon, Wang Jinshan was seriously wounded in the battle and had to come to the rear hospital for treatment, coincidentally, he and Chen Xilian were hospitalized at the same time. Wang Jinshan and Chen Xilian were known as the "Two Wild Flowers", not only were they very handsome, but they were also very good at fighting, and they were famous generals in Liu Deng's army.
Therefore, after his injuries were healed, Wang Jinshan went to the 385 Brigade, where Chen Xilian served as the brigade commander, served as the commander of the main 769 Regiment, and later served as the deputy political commissar of the 385 Brigade. Wang Jinshan and Chen Xilian fought side by side, and repeatedly ambushed the Japanese army, and repeatedly won.
Wang Jinshan has not attended much school since he was a child, and his level of knowledge is very limited. By 1940, he had the opportunity to study at the Party School for a few months, and had made great progress, basically able to read general books. After the study, Wang Jinshan came to Ji'nan.
With the growth of the troops, four new brigades were established, with Wang Jinshan as deputy brigade commander in the New Eighth Brigade and later acting as brigade commander. Wang Jinshan took the New Eighth Brigade to participate in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.
By 1942, Wang Jinshan returned to the old 386 Brigade as a brigade commander. He was the second brigade commander of the 386th Brigade after Chen Geng. The 386th Brigade was the brigade that made Little Japan most afraid, on the one hand they were afraid of Chen Geng and on the other hand, they were afraid of the mad king Jinshan.
In 1943, the little devils continued to "sweep" the base areas behind our enemy lines, and the Kuomintang also took advantage of the fire and looting to send heavy troops to besiege our Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. At that time, shaanxi and Gansu-Ningxia had very few troops, and the situation was very critical, and Chen Geng ordered Wang Jinshan to take a regiment to defend Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia.
Chen Geng specially instructed the king to approach the mountain, and if he encountered a ghost on the road, he should not fall in love with war, and it was important to defend Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ning. However, Wang Jinshan still fought a beautiful ambush battle on the road. After coming to Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, Wang Jinshan served as the brigade commander of the newly organized Fourth Brigade. This is also a newly formed brigade.
Therefore, in the later stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wang Jinshan fought in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia until the final victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. In the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jinshan basically did not solve the saddle, and served as deputy political commissar of the 385 brigade, deputy brigade commander and acting brigade commander of the new Eighth Brigade, brigade commander of the 386 brigade, and commander of the newly organized Fourth Brigade.
