introduction
In October 1927, the Nanchang rebel army lost ground in Chaoshan in the south, and the Eighth Route Army, which was carrying out the task of blocking the enemy at Sanheba, was momentarily caught in a dilemma, there was no way forward, there was still an enemy army chasing in the rear, and the Eighth Route Army's various military supplies were seriously insufficient, and the situation was very grim.

Fan Shisheng helped the Eighth Route Army
At this time, the Eighth Route Army was stationed in Anyuan County, Gannan Province, and not far away in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, a unit led by the Kuomintang general Fan Shisheng, who, upon learning of this, generously donated money and did not hesitate to accept the Eighth Route Army and gave help to the Eighth Route Army, which was able to smoothly carry out repairs and survive this difficult time.
Fan Shisheng
In order to conceal, Fan Shisheng temporarily incorporated the Eighth Route Army into the 47th Division of the 16th Army, but when Chiang Kai-shek learned of this, he was greatly annoyed. He ordered Fan Shisheng to disarm the Eighth Route Army, and Fan Shisheng superficially agreed, secretly sending Wang Jiaben to send a secret letter to the Eighth Route Army, and also gave a sum of money to help the Eighth Route Army move to Hunan.
Wang Jiaben defected to Chen Cheng
This made Chiang Kai-shek even more angry, and he reorganized Fan Shisheng's 16th Army into the 51st Division, and later ordered them to disarm and disband. At that time, Wang Jia was the brigade commander of the 151st Brigade of the 51st Division, and when he was angry, he turned to Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng was a general whom Chiang Kai-shek loved very much, and he admired Wang Jiaben so much that he sent him to the third phase of the general officer class of Nanjing Army University for further study. After graduation, Wang Jiaben became the deputy commander of the 98th Division of the 54th Army.
Wang Jiaben
The origin of "hard-fought generals"
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jiaben led the 98th Division to participate in the Battle of Songhu, during which he personally went to the front line to command the battle, advancing and retreating with the soldiers, and then turned to southern Anhui and other places. During this period, he participated in a total of 9 major battles and led his troops to many victories. Every time he fights, he will personally play, and at the end of each battle, he will have countless wounds on his body. Wang Jiaben was therefore also known as the "Hard Battle General".

Heroic sacrifice
In 1944, Wang Jiaben led the army's direct subordinate troops to a small village near Dong'an County, Hunan Province, but was raided by the Japanese army. Wang Jiaben led his men to fight back desperately, but in the end, because they were outnumbered, all the soldiers, including Wang Jiaben, died heroically.
Tomb of Wang Jiaben
When the Japanese army besieged Wang Jiaben, he did not fear, but carried out a final death-defying battle. He first killed several Japanese soldiers with his pistol, and after there were no bullets, he fought with his bare hands, and the Japanese used machetes to slash all over his body, and finally stabbed him in the abdomen. Wang Jiaben died heroically at the age of 43.
The military and the people jointly sacrificed King Komoto
When the rescue forces found Wang Jiaben's body, he was covered with knife wounds and his abdomen had been pierced by bayonets, but his body was still standing against a railing, his eyes still open, looking ahead. Seeing this, the officers and men present could not help but burst into tears. Later, General Wang Jiaben was posthumously awarded the title of General of the Army. He was also awarded the honorary title of revolutionary martyr.
