In 1949, the People's Liberation Army was in full swing, the Nationalist army was gradually defeated and retreated on the battlefield, and the provinces in the country revolted one after another, and Wang Miaoxu, who was then the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Guerrilla Army, suddenly fell into a tangle and wavered between stubborn resistance and defection to our army.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, Mr. Zhu, suddenly called, and Wang Yixu had a conversation with Mr. Zhu, and then decisively revoked the post of commander-in-chief of the guerrillas and sent a telegram to the whole country to announce the uprising, which promoted the peaceful liberation of Chengdu.
What exactly did the two talk about? Why did Wang's political attitude suddenly reverse? The reason for this should also start from Wang Zejun, the son of Wang Miaoxu.
Wang Zejun, born in 1903 in Xichong, Sichuan, is the second son of Wang Shuxu, who attaches the most importance to this son, because both of them like to march and fight, and their temperament is bold and cheerful, so Wang Zixu has always cultivated the second son as his successor.
As a famous general in the Sichuan Army, Wang Yixu once had the support of Chiang Kai-shek and served as the chairman of Sichuan Province, and Wang Zejun had a good life from an early age, resulting in a very violent temperament.
When he was in Xichong, he often relied on his father's prestige to run amok, driving a car on the crowded road, and when he encountered young and beautiful girls, he wantonly insulted and forcibly occupied.
When Wang Zejun's mother was seriously ill, all the doctors were helpless, Wang Zejun listened to the folk remedies, took the liver of the prisoner in prison, and became a medicine for curing the disease, which caused the anger of the people of the province, and they condemned Wang Zejun for his crime, but under the forcible suppression of his father, Wang Zejun did not receive any punishment in the end.
In 1925, Wang Zejun joined the Sichuan Army as a platoon leader, and then fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and gradually rose to the rank of regimental commander by virtue of his military achievements.
In 1928, Chiang Kai-shek established the Nanjing government, and Wang Miaoxu, perceiving the change in the situation, immediately arranged for his son Wang Zejun to study at the Nationalist Officers' School and obtained a background in the Nationalist Army.
In 1937, he was appointed by the Nationalist Army as the commander of the 149th Division of the 44th Army, and during the eight-year War of Resistance, Wang Zejun did make some contributions to the fight against the Japanese Kou.
In July 1938, the Battle of Wuhan broke out, and he led his troops to attack the Japanese army in Susong County, Anhui Province, and seized this transportation point.
In 1944, Wang Zejun was promoted to the commander of the 44th Army, and led his troops to meet the enemy everywhere in the Battle of Changheng, fighting bravely, annihilating more than 3,000 enemy troops, including more than 20 officers, and capturing more than 300 weapons.
However, in order to suppress the enemy, he once ordered the breach of the embankment, resulting in the destruction of more than 30,000 acres of fertile land and the displacement of more than 20,000 people In the early days of liberation, Wang Zejun was obsessed and obstinate, and repeatedly surrounded and suppressed our army.
In September 1948, our army decisively launched a decisive battle, and in November the Huaihai Campaign broke out, Wang Zejun was surrounded by our army in the Nianzhuang area, and after knowing that he was powerless to resist, he chose to give up resistance.
Based on wang Zejun's crimes against our party and people, the organization decided to sentence him to death, but when the news of his arrest reached Sichuan, Wang Yixu immediately published an open letter in the "New New News", expressing the hope that his son could be treated lightly.
After listening to the opinions of many parties, our army took into account that Wang Miaoxu still had 40,000 troops in his hands, and this force would have a certain impact on the war situation, so it changed Wang Zejun's sentence to life imprisonment and detained him in a local prison.
In 1949, when the Nationalist army was gradually defeated and Retreated, chiang Kai-shek and other high-level people planned to retreat to Taiwan, at this time, Wang Miaoxu, who was appointed commander-in-chief of the Southwest Second Road Guerrilla Army, felt very entangled and did not know whether to continue to resist.
At this time, Zhu Laozong, commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, called and advised him to abandon the dark and throw in the light, and not to insist on going his own way on the wrong road.
Subsequently, General Manager Zhu also mentioned Wang Zejun's recent situation, indicating that our army has always kept its promise and given preferential treatment to his son, and this remark became the last straw in Wang Miaoxu's determination, and soon after, Wang Miaoxu announced that he would cancel the post of commander-in-chief of the guerrilla army on his own. On December 14, he sent people to send a telegram of the uprising to the whole country, and on December 27, Chengdu was peacefully liberated.
After the founding of New China, Wang Yixu successively worked in the Western Sichuan Cultural Relics Preservation Association, the Southwest Military and Political Committee, the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and other organs.
The organization hoped that he could make a contribution to the country and the people, but Wang Yixu finally declined the organization's arrangement for him and chose to return to his hometown.
In 1957, our Party launched an anti-rightist campaign against some hidden saboteurs, but Wang Yixu did not understand this, and immediately rushed to Shenzhen, planning to abscond to Hong Kong.
On November 15, our army arrested Wang Miaoxu during his absconding journey. In 1960, Wang died in prison at the age of 74.
After his arrest, Wang Zejun was escorted to prisons in Suzhou, Jinan, Beijing and other places, and finally died of illness in 1974 at the age of 71.
