Wang Jixian

(1907-1967)

Wang Jixian was born in 1907 in Erdaochuan, ChaoyangWan, Weichang County, Hebei Province.

His father, Wang Guyu, went to Beijing to study when Wang Jixian was two years old, and then joined Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, taking medical work, and served as the chief of military medical departments and the dean. In 1917, Wang Jixian entered Huiwen Middle School as the son of an officer in the Northwest Army. In 1928, Wang moved with his family to Kaifeng, Henan, where his father worked, and was admitted to the Northwest Military Academy (principal Zhang Lanfeng) in August. In the winter of 1929, Feng Yuxiang transferred Wang Jixian, Zhang Gonggan (a communist) and others from the officer school as his second lieutenant retinue. Since then, Wang Youzhang gonggan has read many progressive books and periodicals, and has a preliminary understanding of what class is and class exploitation. In March 1931, when Wang Jixian was serving as the captain of the second officer school in Shanxi and Fenyang, he was introduced by Zhang Gonggan to join the Communist Party of China, and was dispatched by the Shanxi Military Commission of the Cpc to the 17th Regiment of the Jin Army to carry out military movement work. Soon after, he was forced to leave the Prussian army because of his betrayal and betrayal, and he lost contact with the party organization.

In 1936, Wang relied on Zhang Lanfeng, who had already served as a senator of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, and returned to the army. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Wang witnessed the "Qingshan Massacre" created by the Kuomintang and clearly recognized the ugly features of Chiang Kai-shek's false anti-Japanese and real anti-communism. In October 1940, Wang Jixian was appointed as the commander of the first battalion of the Special Service Regiment of the First Army of the Peace Salvation Army, stationed in Shangqiu City. In August 1941, he was transferred to the regimental commander and stationed in the area of Longqu, Gaotai and Yangmiao in Taikang, and the regiment headquarters was located in Longqu Town. At this time, this was the SuiqiTai Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Zone, and outside Longqu Town there were military facilities such as the Shuidong Independent Regiment's clothing factory, ammunition depot, and gun repair center, and the town had an underground hospital of the Shuidong Independent Regiment. The arrival of Wang Jixian's regiment was obviously a great threat. Wang Yanqing, vice president of the hospital, is a member of the Communist Party of China and a doctor, and he has managed to contact Wang Jixian for a long time, the two sides have mutual understanding, and the conversation has become deeper and deeper. Wang Jixian talked about his experience, expressed his reluctance to fight with the Communists, wanted to connect with the leaders of the New Fourth Army, and so on. On the basis of Wang Yanqing's report and the war situation at that time, the Shuidong Independent Regiment decided to send Tang Shaoyu, chief of the enemy's engineering section, and yang kun and Wang Qiahui, officers, to do the work of winning Wang Jixian's uprising.

In the spring of 1943, after being introduced by Wang Yanqing, Tang Shaoyu and others interviewed Wang Jixian as representatives of the New Fourth Army. Wang Jixian said: After the troops arrived here, they were restrained from harassing the common people, not to fight the New Fourth Army, and not to arrest people from the New Fourth Army. Then, Wang gave a detailed account of his experience and asked Tang to contact the party on his behalf. Tang agreed, and gave Wang some newspapers and documents from the Liberated Areas for him to read, encouraging Him to revolt early. After accepting the party's task, Wang Jixian felt that the current uprising was difficult, but he still actively worked according to the party's hopes and requirements. In July 1943, Zhang Lanfeng's unit was reorganized into the pseudo-Second Army. In the winter, in coordination with the Japanese army, the second "strengthening law and order" campaign was carried out against Weibu. During a "sweep" of sesame wawa, Wang Jixian sent a letter to the Shuidong troops in time, so that the troops could be quickly transferred and avoided a major loss. Once, the 6 personnel of the Jiluyu Military Region who had sent money to the Shuidong Independent Regiment were detained by Wang Tuan's sentry and handed over to the regimental headquarters, and Wang Jixian falsely claimed that they were intelligence officers personally sent by Zhang Lanfeng, and immediately released them and escorted them out of the country. In recalling this history in 1982, Tang Shaoyu wrote: "In this period, his troops did not hurt the local people, did not fight the New Fourth Army, did not damage our people, but instead sent us intelligence and sent people to escort us. Not only that, at that time, our base areas lacked guns, ammunition, medicines, and other materials, so he tried to send people to buy them for us and hand them over to Wang Yanqing to the Liberated Areas. Because Wang Jixian did this, we were able to safely carry out the great rear under the eyes of the enemy and promote the development of the anti-Japanese resistance. ”

In March 1944, when Wang Jixian was about to be transferred away from Longqu and Yangfu, he made four requests to the party organization through Tang Shaoyu: (1) to re-enter the party; (2) to help him get in touch with Zhang Gonggan; (3) Continue to maintain contact with Party organizations; (4) Standby uprising, please organize to assist. Tang Shaoyu accepted Wang's request on behalf of the party organization and made a report to the Shuidong Independent Regiment.

In the autumn of 1944, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army expanded the liberated areas in the local counter-offensive, and the west of Huaibei Road and the Suiqitai base area were gradually connected. In September, Zhang Lanfeng secretly accepted the Kuomintang's appointment as commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, but on the other hand, he was afraid of the power of the Communists, and asked to contact the New Fourth Army of the Eighth Route Army and step on two boats. To this end, Li Subo, director of the Yulu Office of the Jilu-Yu Military Region, went to Shangqiu as a representative of the Eighth Route Army to negotiate with Zhang Lanfeng. After that, Zhang sent Wang Jixian as a liaison representative to accompany Li Subo on a visit to the Jiluyu Liberated Area. In the Liberated Areas, Wang was received by Yang Yong, commander of the Military Region, and other leaders. What he saw and heard in the Liberated Areas made Wang Jixian deeply educated and strengthened his determination to lead an uprising. In order to avoid Zhang Lanfeng's suspicions, Wang Jixian bought more than 80 acres of land in Zhang Lanfeng's hometown of Zhecheng County, indicating that he would "take root" in eastern Henan and "follow" Zhang Lanfeng forever.

In March 1945, Wang Jixian's regiment was transferred to the area of Wuqiang in Shangqiu County, near the Huaibei Second Sub-district (later renamed the Eighth Subdistrict of Central China) where the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army was stationed, and the Fourth Division quickly connected with Wang Jixian. Liu Tingliang, head of the Fourth Division's office in Xueshanghao, Wang Ziguang, director of the Enemy Engineering Department of the Fourth Division, and Liu Lumin and Liu Qinchu, staff members of the Enemy Engineering Department of the Second Prefectural Committee, went to WangBu many times to convey instructions, assign tasks, and help them prepare for various uprisings. Wang Jixian also often sent guns and ammunition to the New Fourth Army, provided intelligence, and covered the staff of the New Fourth Army. In the early summer of 1945, with the approval of the Huaibei Second Prefectural Committee, Wang Jixian rejoined the Communist Party of China, and his introducers, Wang Ziguang and Liu Tingliang, were assigned by Wu Zhipu to go to the Lei Floor to sue Wang Jixian.

On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the victory of the fourteen-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Chinese people ended. However, Chiang Kai-shek plotted to launch a civil war in disregard of the peaceful aspirations of the people of the whole country. In order to crack down on Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy and follow the instructions of the party, Du Xinmin, commander of Zhang Lanfeng's Eighteenth Division and a member of the Communist Party, led his troops to hold an anti-civil war uprising in Yongcheng and defected to the People's Liberation Army. Zhang Lanfeng also became suspicious of Wang Jixian and immediately dispatched a regiment to monitor him. In order to dispel Zhang's suspicions, Wang immediately went to the headquarters to meet Zhang, pretended to be extremely indignant, and demanded his resignation, pointing out that Zhang's arbitrary suspicion of subordinates would bring more serious consequences. In October, Zhang had no choice but to appoint Wang Jixian as the deputy commander of the 55th Division by means of a bright ascension and a secret surrender, and led his troops to garrison xiayi county. Wang seized the opportunity that the commander of the division had not yet arrived at his post and actively prepared for the uprising. At this time, the Party Central Committee called for the launch of the "Gao Shuxun Movement", and in order to implement this call, in December, the Jiluyu Military Region sent Li Subo to Shangqiu to mobilize Zhang Lanfeng's uprising, and Wang Jixian was in Shangqiu at this time, that is, he reported to Li the fact that Zhang Lanfeng had stubbornly defected to the Kuomintang. According to this, Li decided not to see Zhang again, and then held a meeting with Zhang Gonggan, Jia Ziyi, Guo Yongzhao, Zhang Min, and others who were doing zhangbu uprising work in Shangqiu at Wang Jixian's house, and Wang Jixian also attended the meeting. At the meeting, Li first conveyed the instructions of the Yingluyu Military Region that before the "armistice agreement" was issued, it was necessary to deal a powerful blow to the joint and pseudo-communist conspiracy activities of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the heavier the blow, the greater the possibility of promoting peace. For this reason, those who can insurrection immediately revolt, and those who cannot insurrecte continue to hide. At that time, only Wang Jixian was a party member, and the organizational foundation was poor, but the officers and men were greatly dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's exclusion of dissidents, and the anti-civil war sentiment was relatively strong; at the same time, Wang Jixian's prestige in the army was relatively high, and he initially united a group of backbone cadres who pursued progress and had a sense of justice, and the possibility of success of the uprising was still very great. Therefore, it was decided to overcome all kinds of difficulties, and the 55th Division led by Wang Jixian revolted in Xiayi County on January 7, 1946. After the meeting, Li Subo and Zhang Min went to the Eighth Sub-district of Central China at the same speed to study the issue of receiving troops with commander Zhang Taisheng, political commissar Wu Zhipu, and deputy political commissar Shou Songtao. After the agreement, Li et al. first went to Xia Yi to jointly arrange the uprising with Wang Jixian, and then went to Shangqiu City to pick up Wang Jixian's family. However, shortly after Li left, Wang Jixian received a notice from the Eighth Sub-district of Central China: The Kuomintang's Liu Ziren department stationed in Bo County went to Xia Yi on the 7th to change defenses, and the uprising must be mentioned

Before. In this way, Wang Jixian's family could not rush to Xia Yi before the 6th. At the critical moment when personal interests and revolutionary interests clashed, Wang Jixian resolutely put revolutionary interests first, obeyed the organizational decision, and decided to revolt on the 6th.

At 4:00 a.m. on January 6, 1946, Wu Zhipu led two regiments to Xiayi, and combined with the Xiayi County Headquarters to undertake the task of receiving. First, the plainclothes team went into the city to change the sentry, and then, in coordination with Wang Jixian's guards, detained the reactionary leader of the Kuomintang local security regiment and the reactionary officials of the county government. Then Wang Jixian, in the name of changing defenses, urgently assembled cadres at and above the camp for a meeting. At the meeting, Wang Jixian solemnly announced the uprising and affirmed: Our uprising is to follow the people's road and follow the Communist Party, and those who do not want to follow the uprising can go home, and those who agree to follow the Communist Party should raise their hands. Led by the backbone elements, the participants in the meeting all raised their hands. At 8 o'clock, Wang Jixian gathered troops at the large playground in the south of the city to explain the significance of the uprising, and then led his troops to the area around Yongcheng Baoan Mountain in the Liberated Area, including two regiments, a special service battalion, and nearly 4,000 personnel of the divisional organs, as well as family members (there was no uprising in the Xingzong Han regiment stationed in Yangji). On the 8th, Wang Jixian's family, under the supervision of Li Subo and others, also arrived safely in the Liberated Areas after several twists and turns.

The rebel forces were reorganized and merged with the Eastern Henan Column led by Wei Fenglou in Juye, with Wang Jixian as deputy commander of the column. Since then, under the leadership of the party, this unit has gloriously participated in the great struggle to liberate all of China.

After Wang Jixian's uprising, the Xiayi County Headquarters and part of the main force of the sub-district surrounded the Kuomintang Xiayi County Government and the County Security Regiment, leaving them in a desperate situation of complete isolation and helplessness. The Xiayi County CPC Committee and the county people's government, in accordance with Wu Zhipu's instructions, persuaded the enemy to surrender. Under the situation that the Chinese communists were facing the city and were bound to die in battle, and the powerful political offensive, the Kuomintang Xiayi County Government and its officers and men were forced to lay down their weapons and surrender, and evacuated Xiayi City with the main force of the sub-district. The county seat of Xiayi was liberated for the first time. After the liberation of the county seat, the Kuomintang district and township regimes quickly collapsed, and the entire territory of Xia Yi was liberated. Subsequently, eight districts and one town in the county successively established people's power, and a good situation of "one piece of red" appeared. This also had a greater impact on the revolutionary situation in the eighth sub-district of central China as a whole.

In August 1947, Wang Jixian commanded the troops of the Yuwan Su Second Sub-district to assist Liu Deng's army in crossing the Huangpan area and leaping into the Dabie Mountains. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Jixian served as the deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Immigration and Reclamation Bureau, and died in Jinan on June 5, 1967, at the age of 60 due to ineffective medical treatment.
