In the War of Resistance Against Japan, there was a Kuomintang general who was famous for killing, he was not only decisive in killing, but also bold, after the Xi'an Incident, he served under Yang Hucheng and suggested killing Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, he bluntly said: "If Chiang Kai-shek does not die, China will not be at peace for a day." This person is Wang Jinzai, a famous anti-Japanese general born in Shaanxi.
Wang Jinzai was originally a tiger general under Yang Hucheng, under Yang Hucheng, every time he fought, Wang Jinzai charged ahead, eliminated many enemies with his martial arts, and made many achievements.
After the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng was imprisoned, and Wang Jinzai's suggestion to kill Chiang Kai-shek also reached the ears of Chiang Kai-shek, who was very displeased with Wang Jinzai, so he wanted to deprive Wang Jinzai of his military power through Mingsheng and secretly surrendering.
Although Wang Jinzai fought bravely, he was not brave and unscrupulous, even if he saw through Chiang Kai-shek's intentions. Wang Jinzai knew that he and Chiang Kai-shek already had a contradiction, so he turned his heart on the side and went to the central Hubei region alone to develop anti-Japanese forces.
Wang Jinzai, who came to central Hubei, can be said to have nothing, but he relied on his own strength to raise anti-Japanese forces in central Hubei. In the past six years, Wang Jinzai has successively established nine independent brigades, cultivated troops with strong combat effectiveness, and led the troops to victory in battles with the local Japanese army many times, creating a miracle of resistance against Japan in central Hubei region.
The reason why Wang Jinzai's troops are so powerful is inseparable from his decisive character, in the army, as long as someone disagrees with Wang Jinzai, it is one word, kill. Wang Jinzai asked the tailor to make bullet bags for the troops, but the tailor did not meet the standards, Wang Jinzai did not say a word, and killed; the staff adjutant of the 49th Division of the National Army entered his territory, but Wang Jinzai did not listen to the explanation and killed; his own cousin did not open fire in time, delaying the fighter, Wang Jinzai did not show mercy, and killed.
It is this style of killing the army that makes everyone in the army respect and fear Wang Jinzai, his orders are said in the troops, no one dares to disobey, Wang Jinzai let the soldiers rush up and fight with the Japanese, no one dares to hesitate a step, how can such a force not be strong in combat effectiveness.
As Wang Jinzai's troops continued to grow, the Kuomintang was jealous of him, and all the high-level leaders of the Kuomintang knew that Wang Jinzai and them were not all the way at all, don't look at Wang Jinzai now fighting the Japanese so desperately, once one day, Wang Jinzai defected to the Communist Party, it would be a major threat to himself and others.
However, at that time, it was the period of resistance against Japan, and the top leaders of the Kuomintang did not dare to risk the world's condemnation and attack such an anti-Japanese hero as Wang Jinzai.
Although the Kuomintang high-level was not prepared to attack Wang Jinzai for the time being, Chen Cheng, the nearest Kuomintang Sixth War Zone to the central Hubei region where Wang Jinzai was located, could not sit still, and he was very afraid that Wang Jinzai would suddenly do something to him, so he decided to strike first and get rid of Wang Jinzai.
Chen Cheng didn't dare to do it himself, so he thought of a way, he sent someone to contact Gu Dingxin, the commander of the 382nd Brigade under Wang Jinzai, and promised the other party that as long as the other party could get rid of Wang Jinzai, he would guarantee him to sit in Wang Jinzai's position after the matter was completed.
Although Gu Dingxin was moved, he knew that Wang Jinzai was terrible, and he didn't dare to do anything to Wang Jinzai, and in the end, Gu Dingxin weighed the pros and cons and took the initiative to hand over the secret letter that Chen Cheng gave him to Wang Jinzai.
Gu Dingxin never dreamed that his move would bring trouble to himself, Wang Jinzai became suspicious of Gu Dingxin after receiving the secret letter handed over by Gu Dingxin.
Wang Jinzai's idea is very simple and reasonable, since Chen Cheng can find Gu Dingxin, he must think that he can say that he can move Gu Dingxin, although this time, Gu Dingxin resisted the temptation, but who can guarantee that he can not be moved, rather than waiting for Gu Dingxin to do it to himself in the future, it is better to strike first and eradicate this threat in advance.
Wang Jinzai said that he would do it, he called his heralds and wrote an order to get rid of Gu Dingxin, asking the heralds to hand over the order to the commander of the 38th Brigade.
But what Wang Jinzai didn't expect was that the herald didn't distinguish between the 38th Brigade and the 382nd Brigade because he was confused for a while.
Looking at Wang Jinzai's order to get rid of himself, although Gu Dingxin was afraid of Wang Jinzai, but at this time, the other party had already started to get rid of himself, and he definitely couldn't sit still. So, Gu Dingxin didn't stop doing anything, chose to take refuge in the Japanese, and expressed his willingness to help the Japanese get rid of Wang Jinzai.
For Wang Jinzai, who has opposed himself many times in the central Hubei region. The Japanese are also very hateful. The Japanese admired Wang Jinzai's bravery, and once sent an envoy to woo Wang Jinzai, but what the Japanese did not expect was that Wang Jinzai not only did not agree, but also ordered to shoot the envoy he sent on the spot.
At that time, the Japanese were very angry after learning the news, so they sent troops to encircle and suppress Wang Jinzai, but what they didn't expect was that Wang Jinzai's troops were extremely strong in combat, after three days of fighting, the Japanese not only failed to get rid of Wang Jinzai, but also were wiped out by the other side 1800 Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese have always wanted to get rid of Wang Jinzai, but they have no chance, and now, seeing Gu Dingxin coming to take refuge, the Japanese immediately appointed Gu Dingxin as the division commander of the puppet army, and let him lead the troops to fight against Wang Jinzai.
In order to assist Gu Dingxin in getting rid of Wang Jinzai, at the beginning of 1943, the Japanese army gathered 100,000 troops and sent 50 planes to attack Wang Jinzai's troops.
In the face of Japan's strong troops, Wang Jinzai was not afraid at all, he led the troops to fight bravely against the Japanese army, but unfortunately, he was finally defeated and captured by the Japanese.
After the Japanese captured Wang Jinzai, they still held illusions, hoping to persuade Wang Jinzai to surrender, so they did not execute him immediately.
Later, Wang Jinzai found an opportunity to escape from the Japanese, ran out of troops, and with nowhere to go, he chose to join our party's troops.
