In today's column entitled "A Hundred Years of Struggle To Set Sail on a New Journey, a Number of Popular Figures," we want to recall the red army general who was bold and loyal, heroic, and good at war, who was Wang Erzhuo, who traversed Jinggangshan and made many achievements in battle.
Wang Erzhuo, born in 1903 in Shimen County, Hunan Province, was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1924 and joined the Communist Party of China in the autumn of the same year. In August 1927, Wang Erzhu led his troops to participate in the Nanchang Uprising. At the end of October, the remnants of the rebel army were reorganized into a column, with Wang Erzhuo as chief of staff, and Zhu De, Chen Yi, and others led the troops to fight in Fujian, Guangdong, Gansu, and Xiangbian. In January 1928, he participated in leading the Shonan Uprising. In April 1928, after the Jinggangshan Division, Wang Erzhuo was appointed chief of staff of the 4th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Fourth Army and commander of the 28th Regiment.
He assisted Mao Zedong and Zhu De in winning victories in the battles of Wudoujiang, Caoshiao, and Longyuankou, smashed the second, third, and fourth large-scale "offensives" launched by the Kuomintang army, and made major contributions to the defense and development of the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area. On August 25, 1928, Wang Erzhuo died heroically while chasing traitors at the Chongyi Sishun Ruins in Jiangxi, at the age of 25.
He Xiaowen, deputy director of the Compilation and Research Exhibition Room of the Jinggangshan Revolution Museum: Wang Erzhuo's sacrifice was exchanged for two companies, stabilizing the Red Army and saving the revolution, and he used his life to interpret his infinite loyalty to the party.
