In 1930, the Red Army of our Party and the army of the Nationalist Government fought fiercely in the Longgang area of Jiangxi Province. In this battle, our army annihilated the enemy by more than 10,000 people and captured a large number of weapons and supplies, including the radio station of "high-tech goods" at that time. We all know that fighting a war requires timely intelligence and orders, and if there is no timely information transmission, then the army's control of the battlefield is extremely confusing. However, although the radio was captured, there was also a very key problem, that is, no one in the Red Army would use it at that time. In January 1931, a prisoner of war of the Nationalist army introduced himself, and at this moment, this prisoner of war of the Nationalist army did not expect that he would soon be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by a great man, and even directly praised as a "communication grandfather", and after the founding of the country, he was also awarded the title of founding lieutenant general. Unexpectedly, this nationalist prisoner of war not only solved the urgent needs of the Red Army, but also became a key factor in the victory of our Party. So the question is, who is this nationalist prisoner of war? What is the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by the great man? How did he become the key to our party's victory? Why did the great man speak highly of him?
Before this, I hope that you will press the like for 2 seconds and pay attention to it, and move your small hand to make a fortune to give me a support, and it is also convenient for you to receive the latest content.
Mao, a prisoner of war of the Nationalist army, volunteered to solve his problems
Since the beginning of the counter-revolution of the Nationalist government in 1927, Chiang Kai-shek has been exterminating our Party. In the three years of arduous and extremely arduous battles, our party's army has developed ten revolutionary base areas, and the number of people has reached more than 100,000, and its strength has developed so rapidly that old Chiang Kai-shek has deeply felt threatened.
Since 1936, Chiang Kai-shek has been massing a large number of troops in preparation for the so-called encirclement and suppression of our Party's revolutionary base areas. Under the leadership of the great men, the Red Army began to carry out corresponding counter-encirclement and suppression.
Radio work
The anti-encirclement and suppression led by the great man was absolutely successful, and the Red Army troops defeated the strong with weakness, and until the end of 1930, even Zhang Huizhan, commander of the Eighteenth Division of the Nationalist Army, was captured, and the morale of the troops was therefore very high. But while the soldiers were rejoicing, the great man kept frowning, because the Red Army did not have its own radio.
Whether it is watching war movies or understanding the history of war, the importance of radio is absolutely unquestionable. However, why did the great man frown on this, because before the first anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, our Party's army had planned to advance towards Changsha. During this period, the Red Army had two offensives but no good results, the reason was because the technical conditions were not enough, there was no communication equipment, so it led to improper communication between the two regiments, missing the best fighters.
The Red Army had no communications equipment, which meant that it could only rely on manpower to transmit intelligence. In contrast, the Nationalist army only needs a telegram or telephone to convey combat orders. The gap between the enemy and us is very obvious, even if the Red Army has the best fighter plane, if the operational instructions are not delivered in time, they will miss one opportunity after another.
So how did the great man solve this problem?
Due to the victory of the first anti-encirclement and suppression operation, the radio incident was also resolved. At that time, when the Red Army captured the commander of the enemy's Eighteenth Division, it also captured a radio station.
Without guns and cannons, the enemy will build them for us, and although there are radio stations, there are no personnel in the Red Army who can use radios. The great man and Mr. Zhu thought of a solution, looking among the captured Nationalist soldiers to see if there were any people who could use the radio and were willing to join the Red Army.
Guo Huaruo, chief of the General Staff Office, was responsible for the task of educating prisoners of war of the Nationalist army, and under his investigation, nine of the prisoners of war of the Nationalist army could use radio.
Army Officer School
But in order for enemy prisoners of war to serve our Party's troops, it is obvious that the other side cannot be forced, otherwise it would be a great loss to manipulate some important piece of information. So Guo Huaruo, the chief of the General Staff, who had always applied the principle of autonomy to him, said to the nine prisoners of war who could use the radio: "If you don't want to receive the same money to return to your hometown, just don't join the Nationalist army anymore." ”
Such conditions are undoubtedly very humane, and whether it is doing communication work for our party or returning to their hometown, it is not a loss for them. Guo Huaruo originally thought that these nine Nationalist prisoners of war would decide to return to their hometown, but they did not expect that someone really raised their hands to express their willingness.
The first prisoner of war of the Nationalist army to raise his hand was Wu Renjian, followed by Liu Darui, and the two were in a master-apprentice relationship. After some understanding, I learned that Wu Renjian was from Jiangsu, although he was only twenty-one years old, but his "identity" was extremely not simple. This person was not yet eighteen years old when he was studying in Nanjing, and with his own strength, he entered the Huangpu Sixth Radio Department. Then the Nationalist government still had to fight, so it summoned him to the Eighteenth Division and served as a lieutenant operator.
Wu Renjian became a lieutenant in the nationalist army at the age of twenty-one, and he was absolutely a first-class talent in both theoretical knowledge and practical operation.
His apprentice, Liu Darui, was only one year younger than him, although he did not enter the Huangpu Radio Department, but his head was flexible, he only studied for a few months, and he also mastered the radio technology almost completely.
When these two men joined the army, they wanted to carry out revolution, just to serve the motherland and dedicate their own strength. It was only after joining the army of the National Government that he found that this was not the army he had in mind, so he had no confidence in it for a long time.
After the two men were captured, they learned that the Red Army was a benevolent division serving the people, and they had the idea of joining. The Red Army gave them the opportunity to re-select these prisoners of war of the Nationalist army, and Wu Renjian and Liu Darui's disciples chose to join without even thinking about it.
However, these two people were afraid that the Nationalist government would persecute their families, so they decided to change their names, Wu Renjian changed to Wang Yi, and his apprentice changed his name to Liu Yin.
The Long March of the Red Army
Employ people without doubt, doubtful people do not use
Just as the so-called "employing people is not doubtful, suspicious people are not used", our party's army has always been so for talents and prisoners of war, as long as you have talent and are willing to be loyal to our party, then you will absolutely have a heavy responsibility and believe in you.
In order to welcome Wang Yi's joining, the great man even personally received him, which made Wang Yi also feel a feeling that he did not have in the National Government, and he was secretly determined to serve our party's army well, but there were also bigger problems.
When the great man took out the radio station captured in the battle, Wang Yi saw that the radio station had been greatly damaged. Under normal circumstances, a well-functioning radio station consisted of a transmitter and a receiver, but unfortunately suffered losses during the battle, and the transmitter part was completely unusable. Wang Yi also made it clear that although the engine part could not be used, the receiver could continue to be used, and it was still possible to receive information from the enemy army.
Hearing Wang's words, the warriors discovered that the original radio station was at most half a station. Faced with such a situation, the great man did not lose heart, comforted the two masters and apprentices, first used the receiver, and the remaining enemies would be sent over. In order to let these two people experience unique care, the Party Central Committee specially distributed special technical subsidies, and Wang Yi and Liu Yin received thirty oceans every month.
Later, Wang Yi's master and apprentice learned that their "salaries" were higher than those of other warriors, so they said that they could not accept so much money, and the two reported together that they hoped that they would be treated the same as ordinary soldiers.
Under such circumstances, Wang Yi relied on this damaged radio to establish the first communication system of the Red Army. In the ensuing battle with the enemy in China, the Red Army once again captured a radio station to be truly perfected.
Wang Defamation
In the second anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, lao Chiang at this time did not know that the Red Army had its own communication system, so the enemy did not set any passwords for transmitting information to each other, which also gave Wang Yi the opportunity to intercept the intelligence of the Nationalist army.
In May 1931, while intercepting enemy intelligence, Wang Yi suddenly learned that the 28th Division of the Nationalist Army stationed in Tomita was about to arrive in the Donggu area. After intercepting the intelligence, Wang Yi immediately found that something was wrong, because the direction of Donggu was the territory of our party's army at that time, so he immediately informed his superiors of this situation and let the troops be prepared.
The situation reported by Wang Yi was very much believed by both the great man and General Manager Zhu, and immediately arranged for friendly troops in the direction of Donggu to deploy a defensive system. When the Nationalist Government arrived in Donggu, it was directly encircled, and our Party's army had already occupied a favorable position and defeated them. In this battle, our army wiped out all the Twenty-eighth Divisions of the National Government.
After this defeat of the Nationalist army, old Chiang Kai-shek was also angry and found that there may be a problem with his communications. Immediately after the third encirclement and suppression campaign, Lao Chiang personally served as the commander to supervise the battle, directly gathered more than 300,000 troops, and decided to wipe out all of our party's army.
However, this time it was very difficult to intercept the enemy's intelligence, and the enemy changed his contact information for this reason. Fortunately, Wang Yi's skills were excellent, and with his superb skills, he still intercepted the telegram sent by Old Jiang to He Yingqin.
It can be said that this information intercepted by Wang Wei is related to the survival of the revolutionary base areas in the Soviet Union, and the content of the information is that the enemy army intends to directly attack the Red Army's Gannan base area when the main force of our Red Army is in western Fujian. The great man also used this intelligence to make direct deployments: to evade the main forces of the National Government and attack the weak points of the enemy army. Therefore, in the third anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Nationalist army still suffered defeat.
Chiang Kai-shek
In the ensuing campaigns, Wang Yi and the communication system he established again and again minimized the Losses of the Red Army. After years of fighting, the various units of the Red Army knew the importance of communication equipment, and the troops began to build a wave of radio teams.
At that time, our army's radio stations were all "sent" by the enemy army, and the radio personnel all relied on teachers to teach them by hand. In order to implement the radio team to each unit, Wang Yi's master and apprentice often rushed to the troops to teach hand in hand, and finally the radio station was completed, and the communication between the various units was really barrier-free.
Something that Wang Yi could not forget in his lifetime
In 1934, because of the wrong command of Bogu and the two men, they did not follow the correct policy of the great man, resulting in the failure of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. Therefore, Wang Yi began to carry out a strategic shift with the main force of the Red Army and embarked on a long march of 25,000 miles.
At that time, our Party's army had only two radio stations, so the links between the various corps were all maintained by these two parts. At that time, the Liaison Office had to ensure that at least one radio station was functioning properly during the twenty-four hours.
For this reason, Wang Yi took one of the radio stations with himself, and his apprentice brought another. At that time, the radio station was not the kind we all saw in film and television dramas, in fact, he was very bulky and very troublesome to carry. At that time, in order to protect Wang's two apprentices and the radio station, the Red Army sacrificed the lives of many soldiers.
Such an incident occurred in the Battle of the Xiangjiang River, which Wang Yi could not forget for the rest of his life.
Soldiers of the Nationalist Army
During this battle, Wang Yi was seriously wounded in order to protect his comrades and the radio, and fainted. When Wang Yi woke up, he found himself placed on a bamboo row, he could not move because of his injuries, and saw that the Red Army soldiers were all pushing the bamboo row in the water, and under the fierce attack of the enemy, the soldiers sacrificed a total of seven soldiers in order to protect him and the radio.
As a big man, Wang Yi did not cry when he was captured, but when he saw the Red Army soldiers like this, he also cried uncontrollably. From this moment on, Wang Yi knew that his life was not only his own, he also had to live for his comrades-in-arms, and his life was given by the party.
After Wang Yi recovered from his injuries, he began high-intensity intelligence work again. At that time, the central government attached great importance to special talents and specially equipped him with a horse, but Wang Yi asked him to bring only equipment and no people.
During the 25,000-mile Long March, Wang Yi and the radio station were the "mobile communication center", helping the Red Army to turn the tide again and again. Wang Yi also became the "guardian spirit" in the minds of his comrades-in-arms, and everyone took great care of him.
It was not until the Red Army of our Party entered the Yunnan area that the Liaison Bureau was attacked by the air raids of the Nationalist army. At that time, the enemy bombed almost indiscriminately, and the Red Army could only hide in the mountains and forests. After the Nationalist government fighters left, they quickly marched to the destination, but when the number of people was counted, everyone found that Wang Yi was missing.
The news of Wang's absence soon made his superiors aware, and Mr. Zhou directly and urgently mobilized a platoon of troops, away from returning to look for Wang. After everyone searched around, they couldn't find anything, and there was no trace of Wang Wei.
If Wang Yi was unfortunate enough to die, he would definitely find the body, and if he was still alive, he would definitely catch up with the troops. For an instant, some people in the troops wondered if Wang Wei felt that the Long March was too arduous and found an opportunity to escape.
However, Wang Yi's disciple did not believe such a statement, patting his chest and saying, "As long as the master does not sacrifice, he will definitely catch up with the large army." After three days, Wang Yi returned to the large army intact. It turned out that when the Nationalist warplanes bombed before, Wang Yi was stunned and immediately chased after the large troops when he woke up. Just in the time of pursuit, I encountered a friendly unit, and I happened to be injured, and I was healed by the friendly troops, and now I returned to the unit.
National Government Army
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Wang Yidu made great contributions. In the communications work of the Liberation War, the prime minister once praised: "The command only needs to send a telegram every day to defeat the Nationalist army." ”
Leaders and commanders of our party can sit in Yan'an and command the overall situation, no doubt because they have special talents like Wang Yi. According to relevant data, in the three major battles alone, the great man has read thousands of telegrams.
Dedicate your life and youth to the motherland
In October 1949, the founding of New China immediately established the Communications Department of the Central Military Commission, and Wang Yi became a minister, and his own apprentice also became a vice minister.
However, shortly after the founding of New China, war broke out in Korea, which seriously affected the security and sovereignty of the mainland. In April 1951, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was in the decisive stage, Ridgway had just taken MacArthur's position as commander. After Ridgway took office, he immediately discovered the shortcomings of the volunteer army, and he dispatched bombers to bomb the logistics and transportation lines of the volunteer army indiscriminately, and at the same time used electromagnetic waves to jam, so our army's radar could not be used.
In such a situation, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army immediately called the country, hoping to quickly send relevant talents to the Korean battlefield for support, and Wang Yi also took on this arduous task.
After receiving the order, Wang Yi immediately took a train to the Korean battlefield. Under the interference of the enemy, Wang Yi constantly changed the frequency of the volunteer radar, and also installed anti-jamming circuits to conduct "electronic warfare" with the enemy in a difficult environment.
Great
Under The operation of Wang Yi, the electromagnetic wave interference of the US army has no effect, and our fighter planes can also take off into the air for combat, until the end of the war, the Volunteer Air Force has not been interfered with by the electromagnetic waves of the US army.
In 1955, Wang was awarded the rank of founding lieutenant general. In the time that followed, as long as he needed himself, Wang Wei would not hesitate to go anywhere. Wang Yi successively served as president of the PLA Academy of Electronic Sciences and deputy chief of the general staff of the PLA, because of years of travel, his health was not as good as before.
In early 1973, wang, who was already sixty-four years old, was called by the premier to talk. Years of war had made Wang Yi very weak, but the premier had something that could only be handed over to Wang Yi, and only Wang Yi could complete it.
Only to see the premier take out a photo to show Wang Yi and ask him if we can build such a device. It turned out that this photo was obtained when the prime minister visited the United States at that time, and the content on it was a satellite communication earth station. Satellite communication earth station is also the satellite and the earth connection station, without this thing, then the function of the satellite can not be realized. At that time, having such a technical finger could be counted, not to mention that the mainland was not involved in this field.
The premier also said to Wang Wei: "Seeing that you are so busy at work now, I can't bear to give you another task, but no one can complete this matter except you." ”
Wang Yi knew the premier's wish, and without even thinking about it, he estimated the time and issued a military order, saying that he would be able to get the earth station out within three years.
radio station
But this piece of area that is not covered is easier said than done. In the time that followed, Wang Yi often led relevant personnel to the electronics factory and research institute, and established more than 150 relevant units and organs.
During the day he has been in the electronics factory, and at night he discusses problems with researchers. Wang's secretary was afraid that he was too tired to bear it, but he always listened to the wind. In order to develop the Earth Station, Wang Yi only slept for a few hours a day, and sometimes even studied too selflessly for a day without eating.
Finally, at the end of 1975, with the joint efforts of Wang Yi and all scientific researchers, the earth station independently developed by the mainland was successfully born. Wang Yi directly handed over a photo of China's own earth station to the prime minister, and behind the photo was written that the satellite components were all domestic, and the pictures, colors and accompaniment were perfect, and they could receive twenty-four telephone signals. In the three-year covenant, General Wang Yi did not lose faith and successfully built the earth.
In 1977, General Wang Yi unfortunately suffered from cancer, but until the last moment of his life, he still carried out the work for the construction of the country with illness.
In early 1978, Wuhan began to hold electronic countermeasures exercises, which was also the most concerned thing for Wang Yi at that time. At that time, the doctor strictly forbade him not to attend, but he did not listen and insisted on attending. When the soldiers saw General Wang Yi that day, they all commanded with oxygen bags, and he once said: "If you don't do a good job in the country's electronics industry, he will not be willing to die." ”
Because of this attendance, on August 12, 1978, The already weak General Wang Yi's condition deteriorated again. On this day, more than two hundred comrades-in-arms came on their own, wanting to send General Wang Yi on his last journey. On August 13, 1978, General Wang Yi died of illness at the age of 69.
When the news of General Wang's death spread, Ye Shuai was the saddest, and in order to show his respect for General Wang, Ye Shuai, who was already eighty-one years old at the time, decided to personally hold a memorial service for him as abbot.
General Wang's memorial service was held at the Babaoshan Cemetery in the Revolutionary Martyrs' Park, presided over by Ye Shuai himself. At that time, the great man commented that Wang Yi was "the grandfather of China's communications work", and Ye Shuai also commented on him as "the pioneer of China's electronics industry".
Since he was captured at the age of twenty-one, General Wang Yi has chosen the right path and has always been loyal to our Party and has been loved and trusted by our Party and the People. In 1978, General Wang Yi died of illness and was buried in babaoshan Cemetery under the eyes of his comrades-in-arms and the masses. Those who have dedicated their lives and youth to China and the revolution will not be forgotten by the people, and history will not forget.
It is precisely because of heroes like General Wang Yi who do not pursue fame and fortune, and great leaders who know people and make good use of them, that the country and the nation can gradually become stronger, and the Chinese people can be respected by the world, and they are undoubtedly the cornerstone of China.
The birth of the republic is inseparable from many heroes on various fronts, China has today's peaceful days, there are countless heroes and martyrs, with blood and life in exchange, the martyrs are immortal, the motherland will always remember you.
