The reason why Wang Bicheng was called "Tiger General" was because he won consecutive battles in southern Jiangsu and became famous for the Maoshan War of Resistance.
In 1938, after the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese army did everything evil everywhere it went, the Kuomintang fled one after another, the social order in southern Jiangsu was greatly damaged, thieves rose up everywhere, traitors came into being, fish and dragons were mixed, and the people of southern Jiangsu were in deep trouble.
The 2nd Regiment of the 1st Detachment of the New Fourth Army was ordered to enter the Maoshan area, and soon established its prestige in the southern Jiangsu region and won the trust and support of the people. After Wang Bicheng took over as the regimental commander, he commanded the 2nd Regiment to fight many beautiful battles...
Wang Bicheng, born in 1912 in Macheng, Hubei Province, joined the local Red Guards in 1928, joined the Red Army in 1929, joined the Communist Party in 1930, and served as a service soldier.
Squad leader, company commander, instructor, battalion commander, deputy regimental commander, regimental commander, regimental political commissar, after the War of Resistance Against Japan, served as the chief of staff and regimental commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Detachment of the New Fourth Army, because of its bravery in combat, the 2nd Regiment was praised by the people of Jiangnan as the "Tiger Regiment", in 1940, with Chen Yi and Su Yu to cross the Yangtze River, participated in the creation of the Northern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese Base Area, after 1941 served as the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army, the commander of the 1st Column of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region, and in 1946 the deputy commander of the 6th Division of the New Fourth Army. In 1947, he served as the commander of the 6th Column of the East China Field Army and participated
Laiwu, Menglianggu, Shatuji, Eastern Henan, Huaihai and other battles. In 1949, he became the commander of the 24th Army.
He was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955 and died in Nanjing on March 13, 1989.
Wang Bicheng led the 2nd Regiment to report frequent successes in southern Jiangsu, and Chen Yi praised the 2nd Regiment as the "Tiger Regiment" and called Wang Bi the "King Tiger". Chen Yi demanded that Wang Bicheng attach importance to summing up tactics, and stipulated that under normal circumstances, the "Tiger Regiment" should establish a system of studying tactics every day and apply the things to be studied to military training, especially field training.
In practice, Wang Bicheng has formed his own set of basic tactics, namely
One dozen, two battles, two fights, three fierce, two speeds.
The Japanese army compiled a book of tactics against Wang Bicheng
The booklet "Operational Research on the 2nd Regiment of the Communist Army" reads: "If you do not engage in close combat with the old 2nd regiment of the communist army, as long as you can avoid close combat, the other tactics of the old 2nd regiment of the communist army will lose their effect." It can be seen that they were afraid of Wang Bicheng's 2nd Regiment, and they adopted a variety of countermeasures, even passive countermeasures: "When the basic tactics of the communist army can play a role, the imperial army must not be in love with war, and it is necessary to shrink rapidly, retreat to villages, hills, river ditch embankments, houses and other available terrain features, and hold the position with absolute firepower superiority to wait for reinforcements." ”
However, no matter what countermeasures the Japanese army took, how to study the tactics of Wang Bicheng's 2nd Regiment, they still lost one after another...
The enemy has been defeating, and he is more afraid of the "Tiger Regiment", which is in various counties in southern Jiangsu
Post a reward of 10,000 for the ocean to capture Wang Bicheng, but they themselves went around Wang Bicheng. Later, they even secretly sent people to ask Wang Bicheng for peace, asking his men to be merciful.
In March 1943, Wang Bicheng received information that about two or three hundred Japanese troops and puppet troops, with artillery, were sweeping, and Wang Bi set up horses and ordered the troops to begin to intercept the ambush, and he himself moved with the 1st battalion.
When Wang Bicheng arrived at the ambush position, he found that the enemy was carrying their "booty" with great swagger, including
Chickens, ducks and other belongings are heading south.
After the enemy approached, Wang Bi set up a horse and issued an order to attack, under the blows of the New Fourth Army, the puppet army collapsed, and the Japanese army tried to resist, but under the double attack of the New Fourth Army, it could only collapse. Wang Bi set up a horse to command the troops to pursue, but the enemy had cannons that were showing their might, and the battle was very fierce, at this time
Deputy Commander Rao Huitan arrived with two mortars and 6 shells from a small artillery platoon.
Wang Bicheng handed the telescope
Dai Wenhui
，
Dai Wenhui immediately shouted excitedly when he saw it: "Cannon! cannon! ”
Wang Bicheng confidently said to him: "When I called you here, I wanted to hit his cannon with a small cannon, and I was only allowed to shoot 3 shells. ”
Dai Wenhui did not have a scope, he fired the cannon completely by his own experience, visual inspection, but Dai Wenhui still nodded very confidently, prepared, and asked Wang Bicheng to give orders...
Wang Bicheng saw that he was ready, waved his right arm, and shouted loudly: "Fight! ”
The first shell exploded only three or four meters away from the Japanese army, and the guizi fell several times, and Wang Bicheng gave Dai Wenhui a thumbs up and shouted again: "One more shot!" ”
This time the shell hit the war horse next to the cannon, and the enemy man turned over on his horse, and the frightened war horse rushed down several enemies alive, and the enemy ran around like a headless fly.
Wang Bicheng saw the enemy running around, and he resolutely ordered: "Comrades, rush! ”
After more than an hour of fighting, the New Fourth Army was victorious and captured the gate
Type 92 infantry gun and three shells.
The Type 92 infantry gun is a flat-firing cannon and is the best weapon for attacking bunker turrets. The Japanese were furious when they got the news, and on the same day ordered that the artillery should be taken back at all costs.
To this end, the enemy dispatched more than 4,000 people and launched a frantic search. Wang Bicheng had already anticipated this, and on the same day he transferred the cannon to the coal mountain area, but the mountain road was rough and the movement was slow, so he dismantled the cannon and played hide-and-seek with the enemy in the mountains.
Wang Bicheng took the cannon body and three shells with him, and buried all the rest. When the Japanese army heard that the New Fourth Army did not take away the cannon, it guessed that the cannon was buried on the mountain, and every day it followed the new Fourth Army to dig all over the mountain, exhausted and did not even find a shadow.
Seeing that it could not be found, the enemy offered a reward of 200,000 French currency everywhere, but those who knew did not love money, and those who loved money did not know...
The Japanese army racked its brains and could not find it, so it had to send a letter to Wang Bicheng: We are very sad to lose the cannon, please return the cannon to us, what your army needs me to do, as long as we can do it, everything is negotiable.
After reading the letter, Wang Bicheng laughed and said, "I will reply to him with a letter, the cannon is here, if he wants it, he will ask him to take it himself, as long as he has the ability, he will come and take it!" ”
The guizi cannon was not obtained, but left a laughing stock for the New Fourth Army.
In 1944, the New Fourth Army began a counter-offensive in the north and south of the great river, Wang Bicheng sent people to dig out the cannon, on August 23, when Wang Bicheng attacked Changxing, there was a stronghold that could not be attacked, and Wang Bicheng set up a horse shouting: If you do not surrender again, you will bombard the stronghold with cannons.
The enemy said indifferently: "What bulls are the New Fourth Army bragging about, if you really have cannons, we will surrender, but your cannons have not yet been built!" ”
Wang Bi saw that the enemy was so arrogant, and waved his hand: "Push out the cannon to give them insight." ”
As soon as the Type 92 infantry artillery was launched, the enemy inside the stronghold was frightened and rushed out to surrender...
Attacked the next day
When the strongholds in the south and north of the town were in the south and north of the town, Wang Bi became a reducer of casualties, transferred the Type 92 infantry artillery over, and directly bombarded the stronghold of the north of the town with a large hole, and when he was about to fire the second cannon, the enemy was frightened and quickly came out to surrender...
Lasted 3 days
The Battle of Changxing destroyed more than 60 enemy forts of the enemy and annihilated two regiments of the enemy puppet army...
For this reason, the people of Changxing gave Wang Bicheng a large pennant with four big characters shining gold on it: National Savior.
