In the winter of 1944, Chen Shan, director of the Shangyu Office of the New Fourth Army, received a special IOU. The author of this IOU turned out to be Wang Dingshan, a well-known local bandit leader, who borrowed 400,000 rounds of ammunition from the New Fourth Army. What is the story behind this request? Why did this bandit leader reach out to the enemy, the New Fourth Army? Let's go behind the scenes of this story and learn about the experience of a legendary figure. Wang Dingshan was born into poverty and suffered a lot from an early age. In order to survive, he decided to leave his hometown and go to the rivers and lakes. He learned martial arts, practiced chivalry and righteousness, and gradually gathered a group of loyal and righteous people and became a bandit leader.
However, unlike other bandits, he did not covet wealth or oppress the people, but only attacked corrupt officials and landlord bullies. He robbed the rich and helped the poor and won the respect of the people. Sheng County is a paradise for bandits, and the bandits run amok and are countless. Among the many bandits, Wang Dingshan is different, he is a knight who fights for money. However, there is also a gang of bandits in Sheng County, who collude with the Japanese army and become a major scourge in the local area. In order to eliminate this gang of bandits, Chen Shan, as a special commissioner of the New Fourth Army, infiltrated Sheng County with a group of daredevils and got to know Wang Dingshan.
Chen Shan discovers that unlike other bandits, Wang Dingshan is a benevolent and righteous person who is willing to help him complete his mission. So, they worked together and successfully eliminated the bandit and traitor forces. After the mission was completed, Chen Shan had to leave Sheng County, but he formed a deep friendship with Wang Dingshan. Chen Shan invited Wang Dingshan to join the New Fourth Army, but Wang Dingshan hesitated. He was worried that as a green forester, he would not be able to integrate into the ranks of the New Fourth Army. Ultimately, he says, there's something to think about. By the end of 1944, the situation was even more chaotic. The War of Resistance came to an end, the Japanese army became even more frantic, and the Kuomintang decided to shrink its strength.
The bandits around Sheng County defected to the Japanese army or the national army, but Wang Dingshan saw through their true colors. He did not take sides, but led his men to maneuver between the two forces. However, the Kuomintang expressed dissatisfaction with his non-cooperation and decided to eliminate him. Wang Dingshan's weapons and materials in his hands were limited, and when he was exhausted, he thought of asking Chen Shan for help. After receiving Wang Dingshan's IOU, Chen Shan decided to gamble and trust his friend after thinking. Although the New Fourth Army could not provide 400,000 rounds of ammunition, it was willing to assist Wang Dingshan outside. After receiving the reply, Wang Dingshan understood the sincerity of the New Fourth Army and decided to join them.
Chen Shan and Wang Dingshan had a deep friendship, and he left Wang Dingshan's camp alone to wait for his appearance, regardless of his personal safety. Wang Dingshan saw Chen Shan's trust and decided to join the New Fourth Army. As a result, Wang Dingshan's unit was renamed the "New Fourth Army Anti-Japanese Special Unit" and became a member of the people's army. He was transformed from a bandit leader to an anti-Japanese general. This is a story of invincible friendship, but also a story of heroic resistance to the enemy. Looking back on the whole story, we see Wang Dingshan's legendary experience, and also feel Chen Shan's trust and friendship for him. In that chaotic era, Wang Dingshan chose justice and resistance to Japan, and his decision deserves our admiration.
However, the story also raises some questions. Why in that era, some bandits were able to become heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance, while others chose to join the Japanese army or the national army? What are the reasons behind their choice? It is worth thinking about and discussing. As an editor, I think this story vividly shows the characters and events of a special period. Wang Dingshan's decision reflects one's conscience and sense of justice, while Chen's trust and friendship with him highlight the emotional bond between people. This story teaches us that regardless of identity and origin, with a sense of justice and courage, everyone has the opportunity to become a true hero.
Finally, I would like to ask readers a question: In that era, would you choose to become an anti-Japanese hero like Wang Dingshan? Why? Please leave your comments to share your thoughts and opinions with us.
