The obscure political commissar of the 386th Brigade dared to call Chen Geng a cripple, and later became the founding general

Speaking of the 386 Brigade, it is really a hero and a group of heroes. The brigade commander Chen Geng was famous all over the world, and the deputy brigade commander was Chen Zaidao and Xu Shiyou, who were fierce generals who were on a par with the Red Fourth Front. At first, there was also a deputy regimental commander named Wang Jinshan, who was even more intimidating.

There was also the sacrificial commander Ye Chenghuan, who was supposed to be promoted to deputy brigade commander. Their names are thunderous. However, there is a more important figure in the 386th Brigade, but it is relatively unknown, he is Wang Xinting.

Wang Xinting was the political commissar of the 386 Brigade and Chen Geng's most important partner. Later, the Taiyue Military Region was established, Chen Geng served as the commander, and Wang Xinting was still the political commissar, and they worked together for a long time. In the famous battles fought by the 386th Brigade, there was the shadow of Wang Xinting.

For example, once, Chen Geng found that the 771st Regiment was disorganized and disciplined during the march. At this time, if the general grumpy leader had been put aside, he would have been reprimanded long ago. However, Chen Geng did not, and he wrote a letter to the regimental commander and the political commissar together with the political commissar Wang Xinting, pointing out their problems more gently. The 771st Regiment quickly corrected itself.

For example, before the Shentouling ambush battle, after inspecting the terrain on the ground, everyone initially thought that the place of Shentouling was not suitable for ambush warfare, because the road was on the mountain beam, how do you fight his ambush? As a result, Chen Geng was astonishing, and set up an ambush at Shentou Ridge.

It's too risky, everyone is talking about it. At the crucial time, political commissar Wang Xinting spoke. He said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and it is precisely because ShentouLing does not have the general conditions for fighting ambush warfare that it is not easy to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and we just took it by surprise and attacked it unprepared.

As a result, the 386th Brigade, in accordance with Chen Geng's deployment, did indeed fight a major ambush at Shentou Ridge. Obviously, in this process, Wang Xinting's role cannot be ignored, he always persuades everyone to cooperate with Chen Geng and supports Chen Geng's opinion, and is Chen Geng's best assistant.

In fact, Chen Geng and Wang Xinting cooperated very tacitly. Wang Xinting's eyes are highly myopic, there is no condition to wear glasses during the Long March, when he crosses the mountain road, he is carefully touching with his hands, and now with his eyes, Chen Geng also jokes with him: Blind beware, it is going downhill. Of course, Wang Xinting did not show weakness, he struck back and said, Lame man, go fast. Because Chen Geng's leg was injured many times. So Wang Xinting jokingly called him a cripple. Friends who can joke with each other, that's the real friend.

In his work, Chen Geng deployed tactics before the war, while Wang Xinting conscientiously summed up experiences and lessons after the war for reference and reference in the next battle. Chen Geng grasped the military, and Wang Xinting was in charge of politics. It was precisely because of their tacit cooperation that the 386 Brigade won one victory after another, and the devil gritted his teeth in hatred to "fight the 386 Brigade exclusively."

Chen Geng was a general, and Wang Xinting was later a founding general. However, because he has been doing political work for a long time, Wang Xinting has always been a bit obscure. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, during Yang Dezhi's study at the Nanjing Military Academy, Wang Xinting acted as commander and political commissar of the Jinan Military Region for three years. He later served as Deputy Chief of the General Staff.
