In 1954, the construction of the Yingxia Railway began, and Mao Zedong appointed Wang Zhen as the commander of the railway troops, and ordered him to supervise. During this operation, Wang Zhen inspected in plain clothes, but he ate a closed-door soup in the hands of the local county magistrate, who saw that he was dressed simply and thought that he was a peasant who had come to make trouble, and actually had Wang Zhen handcuffed.
Then, in the face of such a city-dwelling county magistrate, how did Wang Zhen respond?
One
Wang Zhen, born in 1908 in a peasant family in Liuyang, Hunan Province, entered a private school at the age of 6 and learned martial arts with his uncle at the age of 7. However, Wang Zhen's path to study was not smooth, and after he finished his private school, he began to work at the age of 13 because his family could no longer afford to provide him with education.
In 1923, the famous Beijing-Hankou Railway strike broke out. At that time, Wang Zhen, who was only 16 years old, under the leadership of the strike leader Guo Liang, also participated in the strike movement and witnessed the powerful power of the mass movement. The following year, Wang Zhen was appointed captain of the workers' picket and later elected as an executive member of the Changsha Workers' Branch.
After this, Wang Zhen closely followed the revolutionary wave, and he was present in almost every major mass movement. And he also met the person who could make him follow him for a lifetime during this time- Mao Runzhi. In January 1927, Wang Zhen joined the Communist Youth League of China under the influence of Mao Zedong and became a member of the Communist Party of China in May of the same year.
In the impression of most readers and friends, Wang Zhenshi is a "martial artist", but in fact, he is not, because he is familiar with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is also very good at using tactics when fighting.
In the autumn of 1934, the Second and Sixth Armies would set out from Qiandong and attack western Hunan. When the Hunan warlord He Jian learned of this information, he immediately dispatched 10 corps to attack Yongshun County, where Wang Zhen's Second and Sixth Armies were stationed.
At that time, He Long decided to take the initiative to withdraw his troops from Yongshun, swing a false shot, and set up an ambush at the hanging well rock north of the city in an attempt to annihilate the troops sent by He Jian in one fell swoop. However, what everyone did not expect was that He Jianbu, as if he knew He Long's plan, actually stationed his troops in Yongshun City and did not pursue them.
The next day, He Long issued another order to retreat another 60 miles and set up an ambush at Longjiazhai. Unexpectedly, He Jianbu still repeated the same technique, stationing the soldiers and horses behind the hanging well rock, and did not chase them.
At this time, many people began to offer advice to He Long, saying that the three drums were exhausted and could not retreat any longer. He Long took into account the situation of the troops, and then linked to the current situation: the strength of the frontal attack was too disparity, and if he retreated, he could not afford to spend time with the enemy, and there was really no plan in his heart. Therefore, He Long went to Wang Zhen and asked him what he thought about this.
After thinking about it again and again, Wang Zhen replied: "Shake a shot in the air, lose the battle, sell a flaw, let the enemy plan, and then return the carbine." ”
After He Long listened, he asked, "Do you want to retreat?" ”
Wang Zhen replied, "Retreat! ”
He Long asked, "Where to fight?" ”
Wang Zhen said, "Lying in the sand and tower." ”
Hearing of Wang Zhen's plan, He Long was very happy and readily agreed.
Therefore, Wang Zhen, who had been ordered, led his troops to the area of Gaosha and Ta wo on the same day and began to conduct on-the-spot investigation. However, what Wang Zhen did not expect was that these two places were too flat and did not have many bunkers, which was really not suitable for ambush operations.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Zhen decided to re-select the land and lead his troops to the 100,000 Ping area. 100,000 ping is a narrow valley, the valley is flanked by hills, and on top of it are short and dense tea trees, which are both conducive to concealment and attack. In the end, Wang Zhen decided to set up an ambush here.
After Wang Zhen arranged the ambush, He Long arrived, and when he saw that Wang Zhen had suddenly changed his position, he immediately became angry: "Why did you bring your troops here?" ”
For He Long's rebuke, Wang Zhen gave his own answer: "The terrain of the sand and tower lying is not suitable for ambush, and more enemies can be annihilated here." ”
After listening to Wang Zhen's explanation, He Long also had a number in his mind after carefully observing the area around 100,000 Ping, and finally ordered: "Good, just fight here!" ”
In the battle, under the leadership of He Long, Wang Zhen, and others, our army struck hard at the enemy army and won the final victory in the battle. During the campaign, our army annihilated a total of 1,000 enemy personnel, captured more than 2,000 people below the chief of staff of the enemy brigade, 10 machine guns, and a large number of bullets, horses, and military supplies, which boosted the morale of our army. As a result, Wang Zhen showed his superior strategy to the comrades of our army and changed his image of "a warrior."
In the years that followed, Wang Zhen participated in the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation. In his heroic battle, he made indelible contributions to the founding of New China.
Two
After the founding of New China, Wang Zhen was appointed by Mao Zedong as the commander of the railway troops and became the commando team of China's railway construction.
In 1954, as soon as China's decision to build the Yingxia Railway was finalized, Mao Zedong found Wang Zhen, who was still engaged in production and construction in the frontier, chatted with him about the importance of the Yingxia Railway, and hoped that he could go as a commando and supervise the construction project well. Wang Zhen readily agreed to this.
After being appointed commander of the railway troops, Wang Zhen came to Fujian with an army of 100,000 troops.
When he first arrived, Wang Zhen quickly mingled with the railway workers with his simple style. In Wang Zhen's body, he could not see the leader's style at all, and he ate and lived with the workers, as if he were an ordinary citizen. It is no wonder that later the people would say, "We can't tell which ones are officials and which are ordinary soldiers." ”
Soon, the railway project began. But as the project unfolded, the workers encountered difficulties. Because the construction of the troops was temporary, the local government had no time to build dormitories for the workers, and could only make simple shacks out of thatch and mud, not even a decent bed board.
After Wang Zhen discovered this problem, he sighed deeply: The workers have worked very hard every day, how can such a bed make people rest well?
So Wang Zhen decided to try to communicate with the government, hoping that they could send some decent bed boards over. However, because Wang Zhen worked day and night, he simply did not have time to do this time-consuming thing, so he finally gave this task to his secretary.
However, what Wang Zhen did not expect was that the secretary he sent out would actually eat a closed door soup at the local county magistrate. At that time, the secretary replied to Wang Zhen like this: The county magistrate saw that I was only a major, and he was still at the same level as himself, and did not want to take care of me, so he was not very enthusiastic.
As we all know, Admiral Wang Zhen is a person who is jealous and hateful, who dares to love and dare to hate. After listening to the secretary's report, when he had a temper tantrum, how could the parents and officials not serve the people? Therefore, Wang Zhen decided to go and see for himself.
On that day, Wang Zhen dressed in an ordinary overalls and set off with a car driver. When the jeep was about to arrive at the county government, Wang Zhen asked the driver to stop the car and walk to the door of the county government.
At the main gate of the county government, the doorman of the communication room received Wang Zhen. After the doorman learned that the person in front of him was looking for the county magistrate, he took a few careful looks at Wang Zhen, saw that the man was wearing tattered overalls, and said to him: "The county magistrate is not there, you will come back later." ”
After Listening, Wang Zhen said that he could wait until the county magistrate returned. However, before Wang Zhen could finish speaking, the doorman became impatient and then said to him, "I told you that the county magistrate has gone out, and you are still waiting here for something." ”
Wang Zhen did not give up, after all, he had come such a long way, if he came back in the future, it would be a bit too much to lose. So Wang Zhen decided to sit and wait.
Waiting and waiting, a cadre-like person suddenly stepped out of the county government, and in front of Wang Zhen, he got into a car and went out. Seeing this, Wang Zhen was a little curious, so he looked outside, and just saw that there was an old man outside the transmission room cleaning up his things, so he asked him: "Old man, did you see the county magistrate today?" ”
When the old man heard someone asking, he stood up and looked at Wang Zhen with strange eyes: "The person who just went out is the county magistrate!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Zhen suddenly lost his temper and then asked, "He is a county magistrate who originally served the people, and now that someone is looking for him, why should his guards say that he is not there?" ”
When the old man heard this question, he couldn't help but smile: "Not all the officials who are officials are like this, they must have gone out again to engage in crooked and evil ways." ”
Hearing this, Wang Zhen was a little curious, he wanted to know what the county magistrate had done when he went out. So he pulled the old man to sit on the ground and chatted. However, before we could talk, the car that had gone out before drove back. Seeing that the county magistrate had returned, Wang Zhen immediately stood up and walked forward quickly, and before the county magistrate could get out of the car, he pulled the county magistrate out of it.
When the county magistrate came out, he saw the rustic clothes worn by the people holding his hands, thinking that they were farmers from nearby villages, so he was very angry and shouted: "What are you going to do?" You old bastard. At the same time, the government doorman also rushed over and forcibly pulled Wang Zhen away.
However, before Wang Zhen could speak, the county magistrate continued to shout and scold: "Look at me and let the police station people arrest you!" ”
When he arrived here, Wang Zhen had the opportunity to speak, and he said politely: "We want to solve the housing problem, you were obviously there before, why did the guards say that you are not there?" ”
"If you want to solve the housing problem, go to your unit and ask, what are you doing here?" The county magistrate had no intention of solving the problem.
Seeing that the other party had played a rogue, Wang Zhen suddenly lost his temper, but before Wang Zhen could speak, a police car suddenly drove in front of the county government. What Wang Zhen did not expect was that the policeman who got out of the car did not even ask a question, and then handcuffed his handcuffs. At this moment, Wang Zhen was completely angry and shouted, "You untie it for me!" ”
But the county magistrate did not have the intention of unraveling, and even waved to the police, indicating that he would quickly take the man away. However, at this time, Wang Zhen's driver drove over, because he estimated that the chief's affairs should be almost done at this point in time.
However, what the driver saw when he came over was the scene of the police handcuffing Wang Zhen. At this point, the driver was in a hurry, quickly stopped the car, came down and shouted: "Let go of our chief." ”
But the county magistrate and others did not pay attention to it, and still went their own way, because he knew all the big officials here, and he had never seen this so-called "chief", so he concluded that this must be a lie made up by the other side.
At this time, a small car drove in outside the door again.
When the county magistrate saw this car coming, he hurriedly greeted him, because in this car was Commissioner Xu who had come to look for him. Soon, Commissioner Xu got out of the car under the greeting of the county magistrate. However, what everyone did not expect was that Commissioner Xu, who was originally smiling, lost his mind for a moment after seeing the "old farmer" who was chained at the door.
He quickly ran over to stop the policeman who was dragging people, and quickly helped Wang Zhen out of the police car, and quickly apologized, saying: "Commander Wang, let you suffer." ”
Hearing these words, the county magistrate's face suddenly changed dramatically, although he had long known that commander Wang Zhen would be sent to build the railway, but he did not expect that the other side would come so quickly. What he didn't expect was that people of Wang Zhen's level would actually come here to find themselves. Thinking of this, his hands were already trembling, and a smile more ugly than crying appeared on his face: "I, I didn't know that you were coming." ”
For the change in the attitude of the county magistrate, Wang Zhen immediately snorted coldly: "You did not shoot me, even if I Wang Zhen's life is big, thank you county grandmaster for your mercy!" ”
Subsequently, Wang Zhen told Commissioner Xu the reason why he came to the county government. After listening carefully to Wang Zhen's words, Commissioner Xu hurriedly said: "The provincial party committee also called us to tell us about this matter, the housing conditions of the cadres on the construction site are not good, we need to coordinate, we can support as much as we can, please rest assured." ”
Hearing the other party's reply, Wang Zhen knew that this matter could be solved, but he still had more important things to do. After uncuffing the handcuffs, Wang Zhen went directly into the county magistrate's office and dialed Ye Fei's phone with the phone on his desk, telling him everything that had happened today.
After listening to Wang Zhen's words, Ye Fei immediately gave a reply: "Directly remove this county magistrate, and thank you Commander Wang for doing a great thing for our province!" ”
If you want to ask Wang Zhen what kind of a person he is, I want to say that he is a person who dares to love and dare to hate, and who has a clear love and hate. As soon as he saw the evil winds and evil tendencies, he would fiercely criticize and fight fiercely, and there would be no room for mediation.
