Wanmu Frost is red,
The Celestial Soldier was furious.
Fog full of Longgang Thousand Hills dark,
In unison, Zhang Huizhen was caught in front of him.
This was when Mao Zedong won the first victory in the Red Army's anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, and he was full of vigor and wrote the famous poem "Fisherman's Pride. The famous sentence in the "Anti-First Great Encirclement and Suppression" is well known to the world today.
Among them, wang Liang (martyr), the red army general who directly commanded the Red Army troops to capture Zhang Huizhan alive, was not known to people with the circulation of Chairman Mao's poems because of his long age, and this famous general in the early days of the Chinese revolution flowed quietly in the long river of history, silently.
Wang Liang
Wang Liang, also known as Hua Yan (化陔), was born on August 5, 1904, in Sanhuaiba, Yongfeng Township, Qijiang County (present-day Qijiang District, Chongqing). Gifted and intelligent, at the age of six, he began to learn at home, and then entered the Qijiang County Higher Primary School. At the age of twelve, he was admitted to Chongqing Huaying Middle School (a church school at that time), and thus developed a strong interest in Chinese literature and English.
Former residence of Wang Liang
In the autumn of 1924, Wang Liang was admitted to the newly founded Shanghai Zhizhi University (which was once a famous school in Shanghai, but was discontinued during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for 19 years).
Wang Liang's Alma Mater Zhizhi University (College)
At that time, under the influence of his uncle Wang Qiyue (a member of the Youth League in Europe, an early member of the Communist Party of China, and an early senior cadre of the Communist Party of China), he read progressive publications such as "Guide" and "Chinese Youth". He accepted the enlightenment of the Red Revolution and was dissatisfied with the educational environment in Shanghai at that time when it was semi-colonial and semi-feudal.
Martyr Wang Qiyue
In 1926, he was admitted to the fifth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, first learning the infantry (soldier) section and then transferring to the riding (soldier) section.
In 1927, the bloodiest year in China's modern history, the Kuomintang raised a butcher's knife against the CCP, and blood and corpses paved the way for Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship. It was in August of that year that Wang Liang resolutely joined the CCP.
Immediately, Wang Liang was sent by the organization to Hunan to participate in the autumn harvest uprising led by Mao Zedong, and followed Mao Zedong to become one of the founders of the famous Jinggangshan base area in the middle section of the Luoxiao Mountains. He successively served as platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander and other positions.
In 1929, he served as the captain of a detachment of the first column of the Red Fourth Army, moved with the army to Gannan Province, advanced into western Fujian, opened up the Central Soviet Region, and participated in the famous battles in the early Red Army operations, such as ambushing Dabaidi, capturing Tingzhou, three battles Longyan, and conquering Shanghang. Heroic and good at fighting, and has made many achievements in battle.
In October 1930, he became the commander of the 10th Division of the Red Fourth Army.
In November 1930, the Kuomintang military clique headed by Chiang Kai-shek launched the first major "encirclement and suppression" of the Central Soviet Region, and Chiang Kai-shek mobilized more than 100,000 troops and adopted the tactics of combining "simultaneous advance and long pursuit" and "division and combined attack". An attempt was made to strangle the Central Red Army in the midst of lofty mountains.
Wang Liang led the Red Tenth Division to resolutely implement the operational policy of "luring the enemy to go deep" put forward by Mao Zedong at the Luofang Conference, and led his troops to quickly cross the Ganjiang River in the east and retreat into the Soviet line to engage the enemy in battle.
At the end of December 1930, in the famous Longgang counterattack, he led his troops to march in the rain, skillfully detoured to the side of the Kuomintang army, took the lead in firing at the enemy, and in coordination with the friendly red twelfth division Shawke (general in 1955) and Zhang Chinan (martyr) department, completely annihilated the headquarters of the kuomintang eighteenth division and two brigades in one fell swoop, and did not miss one man and one horse, capturing nearly 10,000 enemy troops. During the search to clean up the battlefield, several soldiers of the Tenth Division of the Red Fourth Army came to a large maple tree. When they saw that the thatch on the edge of the pit had just been pulled by someone, they went forward and picked it up with a gun, and the person hiding inside revealed that the kuomintang officer who was hiding was the commander of the 18th division of the kuomintang army. In the first "Great Encirclement and Suppression", Zhang Huizhan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the right column front of the Middle Road. In this way, he was captured alive by Wang Liang's Red Tenth Division soldiers.
Therefore, Mao Zedong's famous poem "Fisherman's Pride. Anti-first great "encirclement and suppression".
Replicas of Wang Liang's relics, pens and pocket watches
Moreover, Wang Liang was praised by Mao Zedong and Zhu De, and a pocket watch of Zhang Huizhan became a prize. After liberation, in 1959, his old comrade-in-arms Luo Ruiqing donated this pocket watch entrusted by the martyrs. Today, as a "witness" of the Chinese revolution, it has become a famous revolutionary cultural relic, which is collected in the Chinese Military Museum.
In the second and third anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns that followed, Wang Liang continued to lead his troops to fight, participating in a series of battles such as Futian, Liantang, Liangcun, and Huangpi.
In March 1932, the Red First Army of the Central Red Army was reorganized, and Wang Liang became the commander of the Red Fourth Army and political commissar Luo Ruiqing (1955 general) of the only two armies of the Red First Army at that time (later assigned to the Red Third Army and the Red Twenty-first and Twenty-second Armies that had once joined).
In April 1932, he led his troops to participate in the Fujian Campaign, under the personal deployment and command of Mao Zedong, in close coordination with the brother troops, with a rapid attack, long drive, eliminated nearly two brigades of the Fujian warlord Zhang Zhen at that time, captured more than 4,000 enemies, and captured a large number of military equipment, and then recaptured Longyan and captured Zhangzhou. The beginning of the establishment of a revolutionary regime and the raising of funds for grain lay the foundation for the fourth victory against "encirclement and suppression" in the future.
However, when the victorious class returned to the Gannan base area, on June 13, 1932, when Wang Liang led his troops through Dahe Township, Wuping County, Fujian Province, they were intercepted by the bandit Lan Qiguan and the bandits in Tuweizi. When Wang Liang was a pioneer soldier, when he approached the reconnaissance, he was unfortunately shot by bandits, shot in the head, and died heroically, at the age of twenty-eight. (The Blue Bandits remained active until 1950, when they were captured and executed in public trial by the People's Liberation Army.)
Zheng Rong's bloody body died first, and the hero's tears were long. The Red Army painfully lost an excellent general, and Qijiang painfully lost an excellent Junjie. On the third day after Wang Liang's death, the Red Fourth Army held a solemn memorial service for its commander. Chairman Mao Zedong said at a meeting of cadres of the Fourth Red Army: "Comrade Wang Liang is a good cadre. ”
Many of the men in Zhang Huizhen's army, who had been captured by the Red Tenth Division led by Wang Liang and his friendly neighbors, joined the Red Army, three of whom later became the founding generals of New China, including Lieutenant General Liu Jinxuan, Lieutenant General Wang Zheng, and Major General Li Zhi.

As the commander of the Red Fourth Army, Wang Liang's comrades-in-arms who were alive around him wore golden shining generals one by one after the founding of the country. History has no possibility, but as an early military leader with outstanding military achievements, if you think about it, General Wang Liang should also be the one who shines brightly in the stars of the new China.
Bow and salute all the old predecessors who have made arduous treks for the Chinese revolution and paid their blood and lives for the establishment of new China!
