He was the fastest promoted in the military, and it took him three years to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to a military cadre
In the war years, if you want to make great military achievements after joining the army, you must go through many cruel battles. Unless your ability is particularly strong, ordinary soldiers can only achieve the position of regimental commander for most of their lives.
However, there are exceptions to everything, in the history of our army, there is such a person, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a military cadre, in just three years, his promotion speed is even faster than Lin Shuai.
Who is he? He is Wang Xinting, who was awarded the rank of general in 1955. When Wang Xinting was born, his family was supported by handicrafts, although not very wealthy, but his parents were very far-sighted, saving money to let him go to school.
In the middle is Wang Xinting
Because of his knowledge and culture, Wang Xinting was able to become a political commissar in our army later. In 1930, at the age of 22, he signed up for the Red Army. After joining the army, Wang Xinting was brave and courageous in the battle, and was quickly appointed as the deputy squad leader.
Wang Xinting was an intellectual, so he quickly shone among ordinary soldiers and was appointed as a company clerk. In the ensuing battle, the company instructor was sacrificed, and Wang Xinting naturally became the new instructor.
In the ensuing battle, the enemy's troops surrounded Xu Xiangqian, and Wang Xinting quickly sent troops to attack, launching a fierce battle with the enemy at the first time, successfully delaying until the reinforcements arrived, and finally jointly destroying the enemy. After this battle, Wang Xinting and Xu Xiangqian met and became friends.
A year later, after the Red Army launched the "anti-encirclement and suppression" battle, Wang Xinting made another great contribution. During the battle of Sujiabu, when the enemy resisted stubbornly, refused to surrender, and was about to destroy the enemy, Wang Xinting went to order the battle to stop.
Wang Xinting offered preferential treatment to the ocean and let them go home, and persuaded the enemy to successfully surrender. Although our army lost some oceans, it also reduced unnecessary losses for the Red Army.
Through this battle, the superiors saw that Wang Xinting had a strong ability to work politically. In 1933, Wang Xinting became the director of the political department of the Red 12th Division. Only a month later, his superiors appointed him as the director of the political department of the newly formed Red 9 Army.
Wang Xinting was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a military-level cadre of our army in only 3 years, and he was the fastest promoted in our army. After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and Wang Xinting served as the director of the Political Training Office of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and was the political commissar of General Chen Geng.
Chen Zaidao, deputy commander of the 386th Brigade, and Li Jukui, chief of staff, were at the same level as Wang Xinting, so they were both awarded the rank of general when they were awarded the title in 1955, so Wang Xinting was also a general.
The 386 brigade also produced many excellent generals, such as General Xie Fuzhi and Lieutenant General Wang Jinshan, saying that the 386 brigade was the most powerful of the 6 brigades of the Eighth Route Army, which is not an exaggeration at all.
In the War of Liberation, Wang Xinting was promoted to a military post, became the political commissar of the 18th Army, and became a regimental cadre of our army, and there were only a very few people in the entire army.
Since then, Wang Xinting's military position has not been promoted again, and his family style is very severe. He had 6 children, 5 children were soldiers like him, but never relied on his father's fame, when his children joined the army, the father's name on the data was written Wang Jin, and the position was a small staff officer.
And Wang Xinting's real position is the deputy chief of the general staff, his children have not failed him, with their own ability to become a colonel, even when the general, many people do not know that the general Wang Xinting is their father.
