The generals command the battle, and we often say: "In the midst of planning, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away." Generally speaking, generals are responsible for overall command. When you need it, charge again. However, most of the founding generals of New China were born in the grassroots, and their meritorious deeds were all fought by their lives in a down-to-earth manner. However, rushing in the first place is definitely a minority. But General Wang Jinshan was one of those few. General Wang Jinshan is very similar to Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms period, and is naturally brave and fierce. General Wang Jinshan is the typical kind of person who is addicted to fighting, and as soon as a fight starts, the general cannot sit still.
First, angry superiors jumped to their feet
Unlike General Wang Jinshan's gentle, charitable appearance, there is the general's fiery temper and personality, as well as the momentum of fighting a war. It is not easy to train an outstanding general, and General Wang Jinshan's leading troops to fight is undoubtedly very good, and Chairman Mao once said to Wang Jinshan: "Liu, Deng, and Xu are the first generation of commanders, and you are the second generation." "It can be seen that General Wang is excellent. Of course, the superiors also broke his heart for him.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Wang Jinshan was famous. This is inseparable from the general's daring to fight, as long as there is a battle to be fought, he will definitely rush forward, no matter how dangerous it is. The general fights with a fierce force that erupts from his body, and in order to win, the general can rush directly to the enemy's position. Because of this, the enemy often lost his temper and was eventually captured by the general. However, at the same time, he also made his superiors worry about him. When the general was under general Xu Qianqian, he often made General Xu Qianqian jump to his feet in anger. Because the general does not listen to the command at all. Once, in a confrontation with the Japanese army, General Wang Jinshan did not control his temper and directly rushed into the enemy's position to fight the enemy at close range. The battle, of course, was won without suspense. However, in the end, not only was he not praised, but he was ideologically educated. Let him know that the important thing as a leader is not to charge forward, but to protect himself and consider the overall situation.
However, the general was assured in front of his face that he would forget it as soon as he turned around. It belongs to the typical kind of person who "admits mistakes faster than anyone, but does not change when they are killed". In the next battle, the general rushed straight up again, and the last guarantee had long been forgotten beyond the cloud of nine clouds. Because the general repeatedly taught and did not change, Xu was so angry that Xu jumped forward to the general's feet. Once, in the early hours of the morning, when a charge was launched, General Wang Jinshan directly rushed in with his own men. This time, because of Wang Jinshan's unexpected attack, the enemy was unprepared, and the battle ended quickly. General Wang Jinshan was again called over by his superiors and conducted criticism and education. This has basically become the norm for generals, to be criticized, to admit mistakes, to make mistakes, to criticize and to admit mistakes. That's it, it keeps looping. As the leader of the general, without a strong heart, he simply could not stand these operations of the general.
Second, the superior actually assigned the general 6 guards
Later, the general was transferred to the command of General Chen Geng, who had heard about the general's style earlier. But it is better to be famous than to see it. Previously, General Chen Geng thought that it would be a good thing to have a fierce general coming, but after a long time, General Chen Geng knew how powerful this one was. Once, general Chen Geng was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "Wang Jinshan, I don't want a guy like you, if you continue to fight like this, sooner or later you will have to see Marx." Seeing that General Chen Geng was really angry, General Wang Jinshan patted his chest and promised: "Leader, never commit a crime again, never commit a crime again." "
However, once the battle was fought, it was impossible to control it at all, and rushed up again, which directly made General Chen Geng laugh. Finally, General Chen Geng thought of a way: "People stare at people." Thinking that a person could not look at Wang Jinshan at all, he sent six guards to keep an eye on him, and as long as Wang Jinshan wanted to rush forward, he would catch him. We know that a regimental commander with 6 guards is not in accordance with the regulations. At that time, General Chen Geng had only 2 guards, and the other regimental commanders also had only one guard. It is enough to see how helpless General Chen Geng is in order to keep an eye on the general. At that time, as soon as the matter came out, the general's comrades-in-arms all laughed and said, "Wang Jinshan, this boy, is more pompous than the leader." "
Moreover, General Chen Geng also directly gave death orders to these guards: "Even if you tie up, you must tie Wang Jinshan to the command position, if he dares to threaten you, you will directly say that I said it, and I think he will turn the sky upside down." General Chen Geng really knew Wang Jinshan enough and knew all his paths, and the situation was better. After Xu Xiangqian learned of this, he laughed and said, "To deal with barbarians, you still have to use brute methods." Hearing this, the people around them smiled and nodded, which showed how "disgusting" General Wang Jinshan's set of "riot operations" was.
Just when everyone thought that using such a method could finally cure Wang Jinshan, another thing happened. Let everyone understand how eager Wang Jinshan is to fight. Even if the 6 guards watched, he still wanted to rush forward and hit and kick the guards.
In one battle, Wang Jinshan led his troops to attack the city. As soon as the horn sounded, everyone began to charge. However, the battle was not as smooth as expected, and it could not be attacked for a long time. Not only were the warriors impatient, but Wang Jinshan was even more impatient. I saw the city in front of me, but I was always hindered. General Wang Jinshan hurriedly went back and forth in the commanding ground, making several guards very nervous, afraid that if they did not pay attention, they would rush up again. In fact, General Wang Jinshan already had this intention, if it weren't for these few people looking at him, he would have rushed up long ago, and He Shu would not have been able to attack. However, the general knew that he could not do 6 people alone, so he gave up. Later, it still did not come down, and the stalemate lasted for a long time. At this point, the general could not control it at all, and directly rushed out, personally carrying a ladder to prepare for battle. As a result, he was stopped by 6 people who rushed out immediately. At this moment, General Wang Jinshan directly caught fire. Before, the general had always had a fire in his heart, and when he saw that they still wanted to stop him, he jumped like thunder. General Wang Jinshan got angry and didn't care about anything, kicking and biting at the guards, making several guards cry and laugh.
General Wang Jinshan is such a "spontaneous" person. Seeing him, people knew that there were really people in this world who were so eager to fight, hoping to fight with the warriors. Of course, this spirit of General Wang Jinshan is very commendable. However, as a general, being in a command position is more able to exert his value and save more lives. Therefore, General Chen Geng asked 6 guards to look at him, even if it was a "violation". General Wang Jinshan himself knew that it was wrong for him to do so. But as soon as he sees others playing, he himself does not participate, and his heart is not a taste, and he often forgets. A big reason is that the general is born a general and belongs to the battlefield by nature.
3. In the Battle of Dingtao, the general was ordered to be in danger
It is precisely because General Wang Jinshan has such a personality that often others dare not take on tasks that he dares to take, and he dares to fight vicious battles that others dare not fight, and the bloody battle of Dayang Lake is one of them.
At the end of August 1946, the Kuomintang suddenly launched a war against the Liberated Areas. The Kuomintang mobilized all 14 integrated divisions, totaling 380,000 people. The Liberated Areas only ended the 8-year War of Resistance, and what made our side even more uncomfortable was that the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Liberated Areas only ended the Battle of Longhai. This is almost worse, a big war has just ended. Man is not a machine, not only the armament needs to be readjusted, but more importantly, the soldiers need to rest well. At such a moment, the Kuomintang attacked with an iron heart to strangle the Liberated Areas.
The enemy is coming menacingly, facing such a situation. After deliberating, Liu Deng decided to first besiege the enemy's integrated Third Division before there was a glimmer of life. Otherwise, there is only one thing that Comrade Xiaoping said: "If we don't fight, we will have to pack our backpacks and go back to the Taihang Mountains." "But who's going to fight? This problem becomes a problem. Based on the previous situation, no one dares to say that they can complete the task. At the combat meeting, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and no one spoke, and the meeting was once dull.
At this moment, Wang Jinshan stood up and said loudly: "We have 6 columns to fight, I have made a military order here, and our column and the entire third division are dry!" If there is only one brigade left in the column, I will be the brigade commander; if there is only one regiment left, I will be the regimental commander; if only one company is left, I will become the company commander. The column is all gone, and we are worthy of the party and the fathers and fellow countrymen of the Taihang Mountains! When Deng Xiaoping's political commissar heard this, he stood up excitedly: "Good look! attaboy! Wang Jinshan hello! Marshal Liu Bocheng also stood up and said, "You fight!" You play boldly! "
In this way, General Wang Jinshan led his troops directly to the front of the entire Third Division, and General Wang Jinshan, like a beast out of the cage, went directly to the enemy's headquarters, Dayang Lake. This battle was a matter of life and death, and Liu Bocheng personally went to the front line, smiled and said, "I'll show you your luggage!" Fight with confidence! Liu Bocheng's arrival was a good encouragement to the soldiers of the Sixth Column.
On the night of 5 September, we launched a general offensive. But after all, the enemy is the reorganized Third Division, and this is by no means a joke. After one night of fighting, the ammunition was exhausted, but the battle reached a critical moment, and General Wang Jinshan directly threw all the soldiers of the 6th Column into the battle, including the reserve team. This battle was fought directly until noon on the 6th, and the enemy showed defeat. Dayang Lake is lost, and the reorganized Third Division will undoubtedly be defeated. Immediately, our side quickly organized an attack and ate the entire third division. On September 8, the battle ended, which became the Battle of Dingtao.
In this battle, the name of the "Iron Sixth Column" was famous throughout the country, and the prestige of General Wang Jinshan was further raised. Indeed, generals are born for the battlefield.
