As the saying goes, a hero does not ask the source, do not deceive the young and poor. In China's modern history, countless young heroes have emerged, perhaps from poor families or from rich families. But they all have a common goal, that is, through their own efforts to struggle, and actively serve the country by example. They enthusiastically joined the party organization, and eventually they all became manly men who stood tall in the sky and became the pillars of our country. The same is true of the revolutionary ancestor introduced to you today, who fought with Chen Geng and was brilliant, and was regarded by the soldiers as a "treasure connoisseur" in the army, known as "Zhuge Liang in modern times". Who is he? He was the founding father of New China, General Wang Xinting.
In 1908, Wang Xinting was born in a small village in Xiaogan County, Hubei Province. My father was a small local farmer, and at the same time he also had some small crafts, and he would make some baskets to buy at the market on weekdays to subsidize the family, and he was loyal and honest. The mother was a housewife and was responsible for the living of a family of ten. Wang Xinting attended a private school as a child and later entered primary school. At the age of 12, he began to work in the fields in order to reduce the burden on his family, and then learned his craft in a small workshop, but Wang Xinting was not willing to spend his life in such an ordinary way.
In the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, Wang Xinting participated in the resistance movement organized by the workers and peasants. In the course of the movement, he learned a lot about the party, felt the foresight and pattern of the party's thinking, and decided to join the organization. In 1930, Wang Xinting was recruited into the party organization because of his excellent work and reliability. After becoming a member of our party, Wang Xinting did not dare to slacken off, became more diligent and conscientious in his work, and performed well in many battles.
Initially, as a rare "intellectual" in the army, Wang Xinting was arranged by the company commander to take up a clerical position. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to deputy squad leader soon after. How clever is Wang Xinting? In a campaign at the end of 1930, our troops captured Xinzhou City and obtained a large amount of military supplies, but also collected some fine silver dollars.
Many warriors did not care about these gadgets, but at this time Wang Xinting stepped forward, and he classified these things and sold them as public expense. It turned out that this skill was learned when he was a primary school apprentice, and everyone was impressed by Wang Xinting and felt that he was not only a cultural person, but also a "treasure connoisseur".
Although Wang Xinting was a man of letters, he did not delay him in charging into the battlefield at all; it should be said that he was a talent capable of writing and martial arts, who could bravely kill the enemy when fighting, and who also knew how to apply military theory. In many battles, he had his platoon deployed, using psychological tactics to break the opponents one by one, and finally won a big victory. Thanks to his help, our troops avoided a lot of unnecessary attrition and loss. Therefore, in just three years, he has grown from an ordinary party member to an indispensable pillar in the army, and his position has also been promoted to a military-level cadre, and this promotion speed is still beyond people's reach.
Speaking of the story of Wang Xinting and Chen Geng, we must also mention the 386 Brigade that they led together. How strong is this team? The Japanese army was defeated in the course of the confrontation, and the angry And demoralized Japanese army even threatened to destroy the 386 Brigade to reassert its morale. However, with the cooperation of Chen Geng and Wang Xinting, the Japanese army could only retreat one after another and repeatedly lost. When foreigners visited the regiment, they praised the 386 Brigade, and Chen Geng always said that the achievements of the 386 Brigade were indispensable to Wang Xinting's credit, and Wang Xinting was therefore more recognized.
During the Liberation War, the Jin-Hebei Luyu Field Army led by Wang Xinting made great contributions to the victory of the Liberation War. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Xinting continued to shine in his post and made outstanding contributions to the army building of the motherland, and in 1955 he was awarded the rank of general.
The motherland can have the great achievements it has today, and it is inseparable from the selfless dedication of countless revolutionary ancestors like Wang Xinting. We young people should learn from these meritorious ancestors and make unremitting efforts for a better tomorrow for the motherland!
