Editor's note: General Secretary Xi Jinping taught: "A nation with hope cannot do without heroes, and a promising country cannot do without pioneers." "Wang Xiangyi (Wang Huaxuan), a famous martyr in Dongping County, Tai'an City, Shandong Province, and former chief of staff of the Independent Second Brigade of the Central Plains Field Army, is a hero of the Chinese nation with hope and a pioneer of great China with a future. We must profoundly understand that the Red Regime, New China, and Socialism with Chinese Characteristics were not easy to come by. As Comrade Xi Jinping said: "New China was forged with the blood and lives of countless revolutionary martyrs. "The heroic achievements and noble qualities of martyr Wang Xiangyi are earth-shattering and deeply moving, and have set a brilliant example for the future generations of the Chinese nation that is worth learning forever!" We must express our high respect to the revolutionary martyrs, and we will always miss them, remember them, and inherit their red genes. We must always inherit the legacy of the martyrs, learn from the heroes, care for the heroes, and turn the practice of the heroic spirit into an inexhaustible and magnificent force for "rejuvenating the country through hard work, strengthening the country and enriching the people, realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and comprehensively building a socialist modern power"!
Wang Xiangyi (Wang Huaxuan), a famous revolutionary martyr, was former chief of staff of the Second Field Army and the Independent Second Brigade of the Central Plains Field Army. Male, Han ethnicity, born in June 1918 in Tai'an City, Shandong Province, Dongping County, Laohu Town, Jianliu Village, poor peasant family. He was intelligent from an early age, diligent and studious throughout his life, excellent in character and learning, talented, and proficient in literature and martial arts.
He has thick eyebrows, good facial features, very handsome, 1. 85 meters tall and mighty, with a revolutionary will as strong as steel; he looks polite, respects his superiors, and treats comrades and soldiers kindly; he treats the enemy with bitter hatred, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, the world is invincible, invincible, invincible, invincible; he has an extremely strong and strong character, and he has the ability and wisdom to be good at adapting; he also has the legendary special function of flying cornices like General Xu Shiyou (the writer once heard the martyr's 79-year-old nephew Wang Jixiang, His grandson, Wang Xuewen, and Wang Xiangcai, who died in 2016 at the age of 94, who served as a guard for the martyr, have said it many times before his death. Whether Wang Xiangyi did the party's underground traffic intelligence work or joined the local armed forces and the Eighth Route Army, he always strategized superhumanly, was brave and good at fighting, often won battles, and repeatedly built miracles. This is closely related to his attention to learning everywhere since childhood, hard work and hard work, good thinking, outstanding talent, and wisdom and courage. Since the age of 7, Wang Xiangyi has successively read the Four Books and five classics with wang Chuanhe and Wang Yuanyu, the two most learned private school teachers in Jianliu Village, and he has long been able to recite books such as "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic", "Mencius", "Long Wen Whip Shadow" and so on, and he can deeply understand, so that he understands the truth of how to behave uprightly. Under the handwritten demonstration of the two teachers and the enthusiastic teaching of hand-to-hand, he seems to have understood the writing rules since he was a child, and he has practiced a good brush stroke.
In March 1938, Wang Xiangyi was introduced to the Communist Party of China by Comrade Wan Li, then secretary of the Dongping County Working Committee of the Communist Party of China. At that time, Japan, with the ambition of annexing China as a wolf, had already invaded dongping, and with the cruel "three lights" policy, burned and plundered everywhere to plague the people; in the midst of the nation's peril, in order to save the country and save the people, he stepped forward, braved the enemy's artillery fire to join the party, and plunged into the arduous struggle to resist Japan and save the country. At first, he took advantage of the idle 3 hall houses of Wang Jifang's family in Jianliu Village to recruit more than 30 teenagers in his village, using "teaching lamp learning" to make illiterate literate people as a cover, and later, inspired by the slogan of "anti-Japanese resistance above all else, everything obeys the war of resistance" put forward by Wanli, it was changed into an "anti-Japanese primary school". He took this as a position to propagate the principle that "the country rises and falls, and the puppeteer has the responsibility," "Defending the territory has the responsibility, and doing his best to serve the country," "A good man must be a soldier, and a good iron must be nailed." He formed an atmosphere of "mothers teach their children to fight in the Orient, and wives send their wives to the battlefield."; propagate the "Ten Programs for the Cpc to Resist Japan and Save the Country" and other party's anti-Japanese and national salvation propositions; teach and sing his own revolutionary songs such as "In the cold and clear in the waxing moon, I send my brother to become a soldier," as well as revolutionary songs such as "The Yellow River Chorus" and "Unity is Strength." In this way, while teaching culture, he cultivated and stimulated the patriotic enthusiasm of young people, and then extensively mobilized the masses, boosted morale, and strengthened the anti-Japanese armed forces. After joining the party, he was actually in the hidden front of the party established by Wanli in Jianliu Village, and he really made a difference. Because Wang Xiangyi read many progressive books and periodicals during his studies in many cultural schools and accepted new things quickly, he read the "Communist Manifesto", "The Spark of a Star Can Burn the Plains", "Why China's Red Regime Can Exist", "The Communist Party of China and China's Revolutionary War", "Struggle for mobilizing all forces to win the victory of the War of Resistance", etc., he immersed himself in seeking the truth of revolution to save the country, so that he understood the truth that if he is poor, he must think of change and want revolution. He had a high level of education, good political and ideological quality, and was very resourceful and flexible, and soon became a backbone member of the "Party's Underground Traffic Intelligence Station" and the "March 8th Party Branch" in Jianliu Village, which wanli established. Because of his excellent work, Wang Xiangyi was recommended by the station manager and secretary Wang Xiangbin to be promoted to deputy station chief of the "Party's Underground Traffic Intelligence Station" and a propaganda member of the "38th Party Branch" in Jianliu Village. As a result of his propaganda and agitation, Jianliu Village soon emerged with a glorious mass upsurge of resistance against Japanese Aggression and the glory of joining the army (the reason why Jianliu Village became a glorious village with 15 revolutionary martyrs and the largest number of revolutionary martyrs in the county during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation was closely related to the propaganda and agitation made by Wanli in Jianliu Village and wang Xiangyi's propaganda and agitation in that year and taking the lead in participating in the local armed forces and the Eighth Route Army). Later, Wang Xiangyi joined the local anti-Japanese armed forces formed under the leadership of Wanli, namely the East (Ping) Wen (Shang) People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, the Dongping Lake West Kunshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force, and so on. Therefore, he was deeply appreciated by Wanli and Zhao Xiaosan and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Under the leadership of Wanli, he burned the anti-Japanese beacon fire in the north of the city in the old Dongping County, the east of the lake in Dongping Lake. In this way, he often went deep into the enemy-occupied areas like a "god of war" to attack the Japanese devils and eliminate the traitorous enemy puppet army.
In June 1947, in order to prevent Liu Deng from crossing the Yellow River and counterattacking southward, Chiang Kai-shek's army, in addition to blowing up the embankment at the mouth of the Garden to put the Yellow River water into the old road, causing flooding through the Liangshan area, more than 600 people of the 81st Regiment of the 74th Brigade of the 55th Division were stationed in the village of Eyachang in Liangshan County, and used this as a stronghold to do wrongdoing, harm the people, and resist our army. The 2nd Independent Brigade of the Hebei-Hebei Luyu Military Region was ordered to encircle it on 22 June. During the attack on the walled and bunkered stubborn stronghold of the Japanese and pseudo-Japanese strongholds, there were five machine guns inside the wall, the fire was very strong, and several soldiers were sacrificed during the attack; afterwards, Wang Xiangyi, who was then the chief of staff of the Fifteen regiments, was very sad and angry when he saw the sacrifice of the soldiers; but he quickly calmed down, seriously summed up the lessons learned, and later after careful consideration, he came up with a brilliant plan, and in front of him, he used his own guard Wang Xiangcai to lead two brave liangshan warriors in male and female costumes with "stewed chicken consolation" to his liking. Attracting and confusing the enemy, a "chicken changing guard" came and said that it was too late and fast, and he cleverly and flexibly killed two sentries; behind the wall, he took off his shirt in the hot summer, carried a sharpshooter nicknamed "Clever Ghost" with his bare arms, set up a ladder to show the function of flying cornices and walked the wall, rushed up the wall with lightning speed, used the grapes climbing on the wall to cover the hidden enemy, killed all the enemy machine gunners, and captured several enemy machine guns, boxes of grenades, and many other guns. Since then, the Eighth Route Army and local armed forces have been replenished to overwhelm the enemy from firepower, allowing large troops to pass smoothly. The battle of the goose and duck factory commanded by Wang Xiangyi was fought in Liangshan, and he really had the taste of a hero and a good man of the 108 generals of Liangshan, fighting like WuSong fighting a tiger, no, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain; no, like a fierce tiger with wings, overwhelming the mountains and the sea, unstoppable, invincible to the world! He shouted in the pre-battle mobilization when commanding the annihilation of the stubborn enemy who would not surrender: "Comrades! Comrades-in-arms! Revolution is not afraid of death! Fear of death is not revolutionary! Today we are fighting in Liangshan, and we must carry forward the tenacious fighting spirit of 'Liangshan good man' and 'Wusong fighting tiger'! If someone is greedy for life and afraid of death, he does not kill the enemy heroically, it is a shameful breed! I believe that comrades and comrades-in-arms are 'Wu Song who dares to kill tigers'! They are all 'famous Liangshan heroes'! There is not a single breed that is greedy for life and afraid of death! The time has come for everyone to make meritorious contributions to the country and the people! They all rushed after me! In this way, under the decisive command of Wang Xiangyi zhiyong and courage, with the momentum of being invincible and swallowing mountains and rivers, heroically killed the enemy one by one, and at dawn on June 22, he took away an old nest where the enemy stubbornly guarded the dead and did not surrender, and the battle of the goose and duck factory ended in victory. More than 300 enemy were killed, more than 120 were captured, more than 80 regiments were captured, 2 light machine guns, 8 boxes of bullets were surrendered, and more than 400 rifles were obtained. This time, Wang Xiangyi can be described as a great display of divine might, Rong Lite and other meritorious achievements, directly promoted from the chief of staff of the 15th Regiment of the Independent Second Brigade to the chief of staff of the Independent Second Brigade of the Central Plains Field Army.
Throughout his life, Wang Xiangyi was loyal to the Communist Party of China, loved the country and the people, made selfless contributions, fought heroically for the independence of the nation and the liberation of the people, and made many military achievements. In order to establish New China at an early date, on November 15, 1948, as the chief of staff of the Independent Second Brigade of the Central Plains Field Army, he unfortunately died heroically in the battle to command the Huaihai Campaign to encircle and annihilate the Huang Wei Corps. He was only 30 years old.
As General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "Make good use of red resources and inherit red genes." Pass on the red rivers and mountains from generation to generation. We want to express our high respect to the revolutionary martyrs, we will always remember them, remember them, and pass on their red genes." The lofty legacy and heroic spirit of martyr Wang Xiangyi have been inherited and carried forward by his descendants! His red gene has been inherited, and his sons and daughters and future generations have inherited his legacy, carried forward his heroic spirit, shouldered the mission in different jobs, worked hard, and strived to be upstream, achieved excellent results, and made such outstanding contributions to the party, the country and the people!
The spirit of martyr Wang Xiangyi will be passed on from generation to generation on the land of Dongyuan and become a red kinetic energy to inspire the high-quality development of Dongping! (Wang Yungong)
