In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lieutenant General Wang Jinya of the Nationalist Army was a controversial person and an admirable person, who in 1938 actually led a division of people to break away from the command of Lao Chiang kai-shek and establish his own independent kingdom.
For what reason did he break away from Lao Jiang's command? It happened in 1938. At that time, in the famous Battle of Taierzhuang, he was the commander of the newly formed 35th Division, and after learning that General Li Zongren was besieged by the Japanese army, he led his troops to block the Japanese army that pursued and killed Li Zongren's troops, and finally enabled General Li Zongren to escape safely. This battle, in the history of the Nationalist Army's War of Resistance, was called the Battle of Caozhou.
As soon as old Chiang Kai-shek was happy, he awarded him the "1.28" Medal of Honor for the Songhu War of Resistance, renamed his newly formed 35th Division the 128th Army Division, promoted him to lieutenant general, and handed over his troops to the command of Tang Enbo. That is, you have become the main force of the national army. However, the new 35th Division was originally the Northwest Army, not the concubine of old Chiang Kai-shek, and Tang Enbo was certainly not welcome to see such a unit, and during the Battle of Wuhan, Commander Tang did a bastard thing, and he transferred the 382nd Brigade, which still had combat effectiveness of the 128th Division, to enrich other units, so that the remaining soldiers of the 128th Division, together with light and heavy soldiers, totaled less than one regiment, and ordered them to drive to the Xianning and Puxi areas of Hubei Province to rest and replenish themselves.
Although unwilling, but the military order is difficult to violate, moreover, Wang Jinya brain work, think, Hubei Xianning, Puxi area is the Jianghan Plain, the economy is relatively rich, after arriving there, you can recruit their own troops to buy horses. With this intention in mind, he took less than one regiment of troops from southern Hunan and inserted himself into the Qiuyang area behind the enemy, and by extraordinary means, quickly ate several armed forces such as Zhou Xing, Guan Zifang, Zhou Ganchen, and Pan Shangwu, and in less than a year, he developed the troops of less than one regiment into nine independent brigades of more than 20,000 people.
So he went crazy, he said: "When the country is in trouble, who is the hero?" There are only three and a half in China today, one is Chiang Kai-shek, the second is Mao Zedong, the third is Wang Jingwei, and half is Yu Jinya. I Wang Jinya do not buy anyone's account, I want to learn from Hitler, act alone, and go forward! Moreover, he did what he said, and whoever invaded his independent kingdom would be beaten, and the regular and wandering troops of the Kuomintang wanted to invade Ezhong and were unceremoniously beaten by him. Even the main force of the Einsatzgruppen Jin Yiwu was also eaten by him; the 4th Regiment of the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army was attacked by him at Tianmen, and the two sides fought a fierce battle. Wait a minute.
However, his main energy was to fight the Japanese army. From 1938 to 1943, when the army was defeated and captured, Wang Jinya's troops fought against the local Japanese army for five years, killing and wounding thousands of Japanese puppet troops, and once set a brilliant record of killing 1,500 Japanese soldiers in a battle of position warfare. In the end, if it were not for the defection of his main brigade commander, he might have been able to hold out until the victory of the resistance.
