"The fragrance of the flowers in the flower basket, listen to me sing a song, sing a sing, come to Nanniwan, a good place in Nanniwan, a good place..."
As soon as they hear this song, every Chinese will flash a picture in their minds, many soldiers and civilians ploughing the fields and spinning cotton, and the core figure is Wang Zhen, the brigade commander of the famous 359th Brigade.
Wang Zhen was one of the first 57 generals to be awarded the title after the founding of New China, and he was brave and good at fighting, and his military achievements were outstanding. In particular, it is worth mentioning that he led the troops to rely on themselves in Nanniwan, develop large-scale production, and build Xinjiang and develop the Northern Wilderness after liberation.
Most people relish his exploits and do not know anything about his family life. In fact, his family life is also legendary.
<h1>To the division commander " to increase the strength of the troops</h1>."
It was also in 1937, when Wang Zhen, as the commander of the 359th Brigade, came to the 120th Division headquarters stationed in Goulan County to attend a military and political meeting.
After the meeting, the other cadres immediately returned, but Wang Zhen still refused to leave without saying anything.
The division commander He Long saw the strangeness and took the initiative to inquire: "If there are any difficulties and needs, just say it."
Wang Zhen said, "I want to increase my strength. ”
Elder He couldn't help but point out and said, "Your king beard is so greedy, your 359th Brigade has more than 12,000 people, are you still not satisfied?" ”
Wang Zhen said: "Of course, the more soldiers, the better, especially most of my soldiers are uncultured, we need to add some intellectuals to us, teach everyone, and improve and improve the cultural level." ”
Mr. He smiled and looked at the 29-year-old and mighty general, and the deputy political commissar Guan Xiang said: "Xiang Ying, Wang Beard needs to supplement intellectuals, so let's pick a good choice, not only to be able to teach soldiers, but also to be able to 'teach' brigade commanders, then it is a match made in heaven." Guan Xiang nodded in understanding.
General Manager He then said: "A group of intellectuals who have just come to join the army from the division headquarters are all baby bumps, and many troops have come to grab them, so of course I must first consider your wang beard and recommend the most suitable ones to you." ”
Wang Zhen asked while it was hot: "Then I will lead back the troops." ”
Guan Xiangying couldn't help but smile and said, "Wang Beard, you are a bare stick marrying a daughter-in-law, are you impatient?" ”
Wang Zhen said embarrassedly: "I really need to replenish cultural people. ”
He Long
Mr. He stopped teasing him and said:
"These intellectuals came from Beijing, the northeast, Tianjin and other places, there are more than 40 of them, they have been tossing and turning, dodging the guns of the devils, so that they can not come to our 120th Division of the North Eighth Route Army to settle down." Among them, a female college student is now a cultural teacher in the Ministry of Democracy movement, Wang Jiqing, a native of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, whose father died when she was a child, followed her mother into exile in Beiping after the September 18 incident, and was admitted to Peking University after graduating from middle school. She has been actively involved in anti-Japanese activities, has been tested, and became a member of the Communist Party two years ago. Today we have bravely moved from the front line of the student movement to the front line of our anti-Japanese armed struggle. The girl looks quiet and beautiful, 24 years old this year, five years younger than you, how about being a daughter-in-law? ”
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "College student? Can you look at me as a big boss? ”
Guan Xiangying said, "Actually, we have learned about it beforehand, Wang Jiqing has long heard of your name and admires you!" How do you feel? ”
Wang Zhen was naturally happy: "Everything listens to the leaders." ”
Close to the response
On the same day, Wang Zhen changed into a new military uniform, rode a horse, and went to find Wang Jiqing.
Wang Jiqing gracefully stood to greet him, smiling shyly.
The two soon developed a good feeling. A few days later, the division held a wedding for them.
The wedding was held in a simple farmhouse on the banks of the Kolan River. Guan Xiangying, who served as the wedding officiant, said enthusiastically: "As soon as like-minded people see the same, they have this 'romantic' on the battlefield." ”
Wang Zhen, the groom on the side, interrupted this kind of crepe crepe: "Mozi 'Tik', this is called 'quick battle and quick decision'!" Consistent with my fighting style. ”
After the wedding, Wang Jiqing told Wang Zhen in detail about his family, study and experience of resisting Japan and saving the country, indicating that his honest heart was handed over to him.
Wang Zhen said very movingly: "You, a female college student who looks at the weak and weak, has come to this arduous anti-Japanese front line thousands of miles away, which makes people very impressed. This is also a fate that we can come together, and I will cherish it..."
The day after the marriage, Wang Zhen had to return to the 359 Brigade.
He Long deliberately teased Wang Jiqing: "Comrade Ji Qing, now that you are a member of the 359 Brigade, do you want to go with Wang Beard, or do you continue to stay in the division headquarters?" ”
Wang Jiqing replied sheepishly, "Since I am a member of the 359 Brigade, I will go to the 359 Brigade." ”
<h1>Give your wife a "verbal warning."</h1>
Wang Jiqing followed Wang Zhen to the 359 Brigade and served as a cultural instructor at the brigade headquarters, teaching the soldiers to learn cultural knowledge.
At this time, the Japanese army often invaded the base area, and the 359th Brigade relied on the geographical advantage of Hengshan mountain to counterattack the Japanese.
Once, the main force of the 359th Brigade was engaged with the Japanese army in the Lingqiu area of Shanxi, and Wang Jiqing and several young college students who had just joined the army wanted to help the front line of the battlefield, so they followed a surprise platoon to the position.
Fortunately, it was discovered by Wang Zhen, who was organizing a counterattack at the top of the hill, and the death squad was ordered to rescue it with fierce firepower, and after a battle, the enemy was finally repelled.
Wang Zhen asked with a grim face, "Who told you to run here without permission?" ”
Wang Jiqing honestly replied, "It's me." ”
Wang Zhen said: "Your duty is to lead everyone to learn culture well, which is more important than your personal participation in the battle." In the future, you can't run to the position at will, considering that you are a first-time offender, give a verbal warning first. ”
<h1>"Lao Tzu has a son under his belly!" </h1>
In September 1938, Wang Jiqing gave birth to a boy while Wang Zhen was engaged in a battle with the Japanese army on the front line. When a staff officer next to him informed him of the good news, Wang Zhen just responded, "Oh, I know." "Keep going into the fight.
After the battle, Wang Zhen suddenly asked the staff officer, "Have you reported anything?" ”
The staff officer said, "It has been several days since Instructor Wang bore you a son. ”
Wang Zhen listened, patted his chest and laughed: "Great, give Lao Tzu more troops, just call Wang Bing." ”
On the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, according to the arrangements made by his superiors, Wang Zhen led his troops to march south and open up new base areas. Before leaving, Wang Jiqing knew that Wang Zhen was going to be dangerous and unpredictable, so he tucked two pairs of sheepskin knee pads into his luggage: "Your injured leg is the most difficult to put down." ”
Wang Zhen comforted his wife: "Don't worry, we are now the 'Family of Soldiers' (the three sons are named Wang Bing, Wang Jun, and Wang Zhi), and Lao Tzu has sons under his stomach!" Besides, the organization will take care of you. ”
Wang Jiqing waited in anxiety, giving lessons to the soldiers during the day and spinning threads in the cave at night.
At this time, Wang Zhen went all the way south, first meeting Li Xiannian's troops in northern Hubei, then crossing the Yangtze River and returning to Hunan to establish an anti-Japanese base area in central Hunan. In the process of advancing to northern Guangdong, Japan announced its unconditional surrender and received an urgent order from the central government to quickly return north.
On the way, they were surrounded and blocked several times by the Kuomintang troops. Wang Zhen led his troops to fight, died nine times, and returned to the Central Plains with hardships and dangers.
It was not until one day in February 1946, when a special plane marked with the United States landed at Nanguan Airport in Yan'an, that Wang Zhen came out, and he was a negotiator of the Central Plains Military Region and participated in the Hankou Executive Group of the Military Investigation Department. This time, he passed through Yan'an and reported to the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao.
After debriefing his work, he went home. After seeing his wife, he said, "I will soon take a special plane to Beiping again, and you will follow suit." ”
Wang Jiqing was puzzled: "What am I going to do in Beiping?" ”
Wang Zhen said: "You can go back to your alma mater to lead teachers and students to engage in propaganda and expose the wolf ambitions of the Kuomintang in the fake peace and real civil war." Moreover, the Military Investigation Department has US representatives, you know English, you can do translation work for us. ”
The three sons, who are only 8 years old, 6 years old and 4 years old, are very unhappy and look forward to their father's safe return every day. Now Dad has just returned and is leaving again, and he has taken Mom with him.
In June 1946, negotiations broke down. Chiang Kai-shek tore up the "Double Tenth Agreement" and mobilized more than 300,000 troops to besiege the Central Plains Military Region. Wang Zhen quickly returned to Eyuwan and assisted Li Xiannian in successfully commanding the famous Central Plains breakthrough. He also commanded the 359th Brigade to kill and return to Yan'an in victory.
The southern expedition to the north and the breakthrough of the Central Plains lasted more than 600 days, traveled to eight provinces, fought more than 300 battles, created another miracle in the history of China's revolutionary war, and was praised by Chairman Mao as the "Second Long March" by Chairman Mao.
<h1>"Happy birthday to my wife"</h1>
On February 6, 1993, this day is the Lantern Festival, but also Wang Jiqing's birthday, the sky is beautiful, sunny and warm as spring.
Dragging the sick Body of Wang Zhen, the client bought a large cake with the words "Happy Birthday to His Wife" on it, and his descendants made a lively 80th birthday for Wang Jiqing.
Wang Zhen boasted that his wife did not look like 80 years old, but very much like a 60-year-old.
Wang Jiqing was very happy, and in turn, he praised the boss as if he were 60 years old, and the children and grandchildren gave a burst of warm applause and laughter.
More than a month later, on March 12, Wang Zhen died of illness in Guangzhou at the age of 85, completing a life of 56 years with his wife.
In accordance with Wang Zhen's last wishes, he donated his cornea and scattered some of his ashes in the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang.
On December 24, 2007, Wang Jiqing died at the age of 94 at the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Beijing.
They had no daughters in their lives, and they had three sons, all of whom achieved extraordinary things!
The eldest son, Wang Bing, once founded the China Ocean Helicopter Professional Company, served as the chairman of the board, and made outstanding contributions in the field of national marine helicopters and general aviation. He died in 2014 at the age of 76.
The second son, Wang Jun, had great achievements in the business field, and worked with others to establish an investment company, and later became the chairman of CITIC Investment Group, and later served as the chairman of Shenzhen Management Group. He died in Guangzhou in 2019 at the age of 78.
Wang Zhi, the youngest son, is the inventor of China's first electronic computer and the chairman of China Great Wall Computer Group Corporation. Led the team to develop a small enterprise with only 3 million creditors into a well-known high-tech enterprise group in China. He is known as the "godfather" of China's IT industry, and has been called "the first Chinese that made Bill Gates stop" by foreign media.
So-called, the tiger father has no dog, and Wang Zhen's three sons have also written legends!
