The general fought more than a thousand battles, was awarded major general in 55 years and promoted to general many years later
In the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the four-year War of Liberation, there were many generals of our army who fought hundreds of battles, and it was impossible for them to become generals without so many military achievements. However, among the more than a thousand generals who were awarded the title in 1955, there was a general who was very powerful, and according to his secretary's statistics, from the beginning of his joining the army to the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, this general fought 1308 battles in his lifetime.
This figure is really very surprising, who is this general? He is Major General Wang Chenghan. Wang Chenghan joined the revolution very early, and at the age of 13, he was a soldier under Xu Xiangqian and was very brave in the battlefield, so he served as a company commander at the age of 17. In the battle of Zhiluo Town in northern Shaanxi, Wang Chenghan once again took the lead.
However, the enemy's firepower was very strong, and it did not take long for the bullet to hit Wang Chenghan's left hand, but he did not retreat, and endured the pain and continued to fight. But what he did not expect was that not long after, his left leg was also shot, and the bullet pierced the leg artery, and a lot of blood was shed for a while.
The comrades-in-arms quickly carried Wang Chenghan to the field hospital and carried him to the operating table. At that time, the conditions were harsh and the number of anesthetics was limited, and Wang Chenghan said that he would give the anesthesia to the seriously injured. The doctor was very surprised and said that your injuries were not seriously injured? But Wang Chenghan insisted repeatedly, took a wooden stick and bit it in his mouth, and survived the 2-hour operation.
The severe pain made him sweat a lot, and after the operation, his clothes could be twisted out of the water, but Wang Chenghan never said a word. After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Chenghan became the leader of an anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment, not only fighting devils, but also doing political work, and winning the hearts and minds of the people in the war.
At that time, the Japanese puppet army deceived the common people and made them think that the Eighth Route Army was a bad person, so they did not dare to contact the Eighth Route Army. Wang Chenghan, on the other hand, wanted to sell grain to the troops, and the task was arduous. He came up with an idea and threw silver dollars into the wall, so that the people could give him as much grain as they wanted.
There is a sweet potato field next to Wang Chenghan, but he does not take the things of the common people. The people were afraid, and the fields outside the city were not taken care of, and Wang Chenghan also helped the people take care of them. Over time, the common people were touched by Wang Chenghan, and they all knew that the Eighth Route Army was a good person, taking money and grain to help the Eighth Route Army, and the guerrilla detachment also opened up an anti-Japanese base area in western Henan.
In 1955, when the rank was conferred, wang chenghan was awarded the rank of major general, but the military career of the general who had fought thousands of battles was not over, and by 1988, Wang Chenghan was promoted to the rank of general, and very few people had this ability, only 7 people in the whole army had such an experience.
Wang Chenghan has been working diligently in his post before retirement, and after retirement, he did not idle at home, and also returned to his hometown to pass on his noble work experience to the comrades below, adding strength to the work of the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich. He also taught his children that money and fame and fortune do not bring death, and the most important thing is spiritual wealth.
How do you make your spiritual world more fulfilling? Their lovers and relatives are the most precious assets, and there are many people who have not understood this simple truth all their lives.
