He was Wang Jinshan's direct superior, and he had distinguished himself in battle, and he died during the War of Resistance, and if he did not sacrifice, he could be awarded the rank of general
The image of Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent regiment in "Bright Sword", is very popular, has a distinct personality, dares to act boldly, can win battles, and is an excellent military general of our army.
Many readers of Wang Jinshan's story know that although he was given a lieutenant general, which is one level higher than Li Yunlong's major general, everyone seems to think that the rank conferred on him is somewhat low.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and Wang Jinshan served as the deputy commander of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Many people are curious about who is the person who made Wang Jinshan the leader of the regiment?
To be able to become Wang Jinshan's direct superior, he must be a very capable person, what rank did he finally obtain? This person is Ye Chenghuan. Yes, he died before he was awarded the title, to be precise, at the age of 24.
During the Red Army period, Ye Chenghuan was a very good talent, he joined the Red Army at the age of 15, and then his military position was promoted all the way, and he served as the political commissar of the division at the age of 22. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the 772 regiment, and in "Bright Sword" The blind man was the regimental commander.
In the 772nd Regiment, deputy regimental commander Wang Jinshan and chief of staff Sun Jiguang were both awarded lieutenant generals, so if the regimental commander Ye Chenghuan had not sacrificed, he would certainly have been awarded a general.
Before Ye Chenghuan's sacrifice, he made a lot of military achievements. When the Japanese attacked Niangziguan, the Nationalist army could not resist it in a few clicks, but after the 772nd Regiment was on top, it inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army was completely unaware of the tactics of the Eighth Route Army, and Ye Chenghuan led the 772nd Regiment to ambush the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was blown up by grenades. Only a few days later, Ye Chenghuan and the 772nd Regiment set up an ambush circle in the village of Qiqi, and the logistics troops of the Japanese 20th Division fell into the ambush circle.
After Ye Chenghuan ordered the attack, the Japanese logistics unit only had more than three hundred infantry, and after being covered by the firepower of our army, there was no time to counterattack at all, and it was impossible to transport military materials out of the fire range of the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese army thought that the Eighth Route Army would quickly withdraw after the ambush, so it sent a unit to clear the battlefield. What the Japanese army did not expect was that Ye Chenghuan and the 772nd Regiment did not go far and turned back, which caught the Japanese troops who cleared the battlefield by surprise, and hundreds of Japanese troops were completely annihilated.
After suffering heavy losses under Ye Chenghuan continuously, the Japanese army was very angry. In April 1938, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of troops to sweep Wuxiang County, unfortunately Ye Chenghuan fell seriously ill, but he insisted on taking the sick command and once again achieved beautiful results.
However, the reinforcements of the Japanese army continued to increase, and Ye Chenghuan could only retreat first to preserve his strength. And the battlefields where our army has fought are still scattered with trophies such as guns and ammunition, which is exactly what our army needs.
Although the company commander You Taizhong resolutely opposed, Ye Chenghuan still led his troops back to clean up the battlefield and clean up the booty, who expected that he was hit in the head by a bullet and immediately fell unconscious. Ye Chenghuan's injuries were too serious, and he died the next day, heroically sacrificing.
He is only 24 years old, and if he had not sacrificed, he would have made a lot of military achievements in the future, which is a pity.
