Admiral Wang Jianan: He commanded the battle from his hospital bed. Why didn't anyone come to mourn him after he died at the age of 72?

1September, 955, Wang Jianan was not on the list of 55 generals, which caused various speculations.

Wang Jianan took part in the revolution in his early years and held a high position in the army. From the Agrarian Revolution to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, no one was absent. As for why he didn't appoint a general in 1955, his son Wang Haibo gave the answer.

It turned out that there was an episode that year. When the list of generals was handed to Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao carefully looked at each general and finally circled the name of Wang Jianan: "This man is proud and complacent, and the rank of lieutenant general is just right."

After the selection team saw it, they didn't know what to do. According to the chairman's opinion, there are many people who are inferior to Wang Jianan among the generals. If you don't follow the chairman's opinion, you can have a clear comment.

Finally, we had to wait, so Wang Jianan didn't award 1955 the championship. 1956, the selection team raised this matter with Chairman Mao again and told him the reason. After the chairman knew it, he felt it was reasonable and awarded the general a medal.

As for why Chairman Mao said Wang Jianan was "complacent", it was also because something happened that year.

This matter has something to do with Chen Yi. At a meeting, due to different work opinions, Wang Jianan slapped the table in a rage. As a result, it spread to the central government, which made Chairman Mao have an impression on Wang Jianan.

Wang Jianan was born in the army. Like Xu and others, he led the troops to fight with his own aura. He is very capable and has a big temper, but he always treats things rather than people. As Xu said, "strike a table and scold your mother at the meeting, but never tear it down at the meeting."

Wang Jianan made great achievements in his life. He is upright, strategizing in wartime and going into battle to kill the enemy. After the founding of New China, he was more honest and strict with himself.

However, as the founding general of 1956, he is a household name and enjoys a high reputation. Why didn't anyone come to mourn his death at the age of 72?

This article will show you the deeds of General Wang Jianan, a revolutionary of the older generation. If you are a reader who likes to know about history, you might as well settle down and read it, maybe you will gain something.

Wang Jianan, formerly known as Wang Jianan, was born in Shahe Village, Taohua County, Huang An County, Hubei Province on 10.

Like most founding generals, he came from a poor family and begged in the street when he was young. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, he began to herd cattle for the landlord's family and was repeatedly humiliated, so he had the idea of practicing martial arts. One day, he took a piece of bacon that he didn't want to eat and came to Li Diantang's house of the Boxer in Bajimen, Cangzhou. He joined Li Diantang's apprentice and studied martial arts for several years.

1924, 17-year-old Wang Jianan returned from school. In a rage, he took the land that had bullied him in the past and burned all the landlords' houses. Then he went to Wuhan to join the army. In order to prevent being caught back by the landlord, he changed his name to Wang Jianan in the army.

At that time, he joined the army of direct warlord Wu. Due to the serious habits of the old warlords, Wang Jianan stayed for two years, which was really unbearable. He decided to flee to his hometown and build an armed force of more than 60 people.

Because the team had little influence in Huang An county, they got in touch with local organizations and joined the * * * production party on 1927 to participate in the jute uprising. From this point of view, Wang Jianan is indeed a very qualified general. After all, many founding generals joined the * * * production party after the Jute Uprising.

Since the Jute Uprising, Wang Jianan has participated in many battles, showing courage and great wisdom in leading troops, and was promoted from the squad leader all the way.

1933, at this time, the Long March has not yet started, but he is already the political commissar of the 88th Division of the Red Thirty Army. In the subsequent Xuanda campaign, Wang Jianan led troops to destroy the First Division of Sichuan Army. In the battle, Wang Lieshan, the teacher, died, and Wang Jianshen was both a teacher and a political commissar, and he still accomplished the task brilliantly.

At that time, everyone said that he had "both military and political skills" and was a rare commander.

1935 During the Long March, Wang Jianan repeatedly covered the main forces and blocked the enemy.

After the Long March, the organization sent a large number of cadres to study in the Red Army University, and Wang Jianan was one of them.

Although I haven't read since I was a child, it doesn't mean I can't read. Wang Jianan often stole from school when he was young, and wrote and read whenever he had time. During his stay in the Red Army University, he fully studied military command technology and new revolutionary ideas.

1938, Wang Jianan, a graduate of the Red Army University, was ordered to serve as the detachment leader of the Eighth Route Army 129 Division, and went to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Plain to carry out an armed struggle against Japan.

Since Japan's full-scale invasion of China, there have been more and more domestic anti-Japanese forces. When the Japanese invaded Shandong, the armed uprising in Shandong actually developed into a team of 40,000 people. In order to command the anti-Japanese armed forces in a unified way as soon as possible, Wang Jianan served as deputy commander after the establishment of the Eighth Route Army Lu Column.

The Japanese army seems to have realized this, so it mobilized troops from the frontal battlefield and frantically "mopped up" the base areas behind the Eighth Route Army in Shandong. In the face of their own enemies, Wang Jianan and other leaders always insisted on fighting on interior lines and scattered their main forces on exterior lines to attack the Japanese army. The two sides exchanged fire more than 20 times, eventually forcing the Japanese army to give up the "sweeping" of the anti-Japanese base areas in Shandong.

194 1 year, the Japanese army assembled 50,000 troops and attacked Yimeng mountain area on a large scale. At that time, bodies were everywhere, and houses and fields were in ruins.

In order to restore the anti-Japanese base areas in Shandong, Wang Jianan personally led the army to carry out a counterattack. The fighting between the two sides lasted for more than 20 days, and finally captured 14 enemy-occupied points, annihilating the Japanese army 1000 people.

In August of the same year, Shandong Column was changed to Shandong Military Region, and Wang Jianan was appointed as deputy commander and chief of staff. Although he was the deputy commander, there was no commander in the Shandong Military Region at that time, so Wang Jianan was responsible for the military work of the entire military region.

Under the guidance of Wang Jianan, he tried to sabotage Japan many times, but he never thought that he would be surrounded by Japanese puppet troops. In 8000 days, the puppet troops fought harder than the Japanese.

Wang Jianan didn't expect this sudden siege. He remained calm in the face of danger, pondered for a while, and immediately ordered: hold on first, and then wait for an opportunity to break through. I took the guard battalion to the top of the mountain to see the terrain, and then organized a breakthrough, so it was difficult to break through under the bombing of the plane.

From noon to 4 pm, Wang Jianan personally picked up the bayonet and fought with the Japanese puppet troops. As night fell, when Wang Jianan saw that the time had come, he immediately ordered the battalion commander to lead the soldiers to stop the enemy and retreated with his own government troops. This government army is the backbone and thorn in the side of the Japanese army.

When he left, Wang Jianan said to the battalion commander, "Be flexible. After we retreat for half an hour, you will retreat quickly and don't entangle with the enemy. "

Under the sniper of the battalion commander, Wang Jianan successfully broke through and the Japanese plan was defeated again. Only after the breakthrough, Wang Jianan was injured on a steep cliff while conducting, and it took several months to recover.

1943 In March, Wang Jianan was appointed as the commander of the Luzhong Military Region. Since then, he can be seen everywhere in the Luzhong base area. For example, almost all people of the older generation know Wang Jianan, saying that he has protected the local Shandong people.

1944, in order to uproot the puppet troops and Japanese strongholds in Shandong, he led six regiments and other troops to attack Wu Faqi, the main force of the puppet troops in Shandong, which was very tenacious and was annihilated after only fighting with our army for more than 20 days.

Since then, Wang Jianan has attacked Yishui and Mengyin counties, wiped out the Japanese puppet troops in one fell swoop, and completely connected the five liberated areas in Shandong.

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, China held peace talks, and soon Chiang Kai-shek unilaterally tore up the agreement and launched a civil war.

Wang Jianan accepted the task of his superiors and took part in the battle of Ji-Xu section of Jin-Pu Railway, which successfully crushed Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to split the liberated areas in central Shandong.

In 65438+February of the same year, Shandong and Central China merged to form the East China Field Army, ready to launch the Battle of Lunan. After receiving the order, Wang Jianan went by car. In order to race against time, he accelerated the opportunity and the car overturned. Fortunately, the speed was not too fast and there was no danger to life, but Wang Jianan was seriously injured.

Ji Pengfei asked him to go to the hospital for treatment first. Wang Jianan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter to me. Fighting matters!"

In this way, with the help of Ji Pengfei, Wang Jianan walked into the command post, endured severe pain, and lay in bed commanding troops to fight. In this scene, his old men also recalled that Wang Jianan was so desperate!

1947 February 15, Xu led two divisions, responsible for ambushing the 77th division of Kuomintang ace Li between Boshan and Laiwu.

Wang Jianan surveyed the terrain in advance and decided to set up an ambush on both sides of Hezhuang and Immobile Village. The terrain here belongs to high mountains and deep valleys, which is very suitable for ambush.

So, after discussing with Xu, I decided to attack in the morning 1 1. Li's 77th Division was suddenly ambushed, and it was difficult to adjust for a while. After five hours of fierce fighting with our army, most of the soldiers were wiped out.

In the subsequent battle, Li was captured, seven divisions of the Kuomintang were annihilated, with more than 56,000 people, and the three liberated areas of Bohai, Luzhong and Jiaodong became one.

1948, Taiyuan was liberated soon. At that time, Wang Jianan, deputy commander of the First Corps of North China Field Army, went to Xibaipo to meet Chairman Mao. At this time, Chairman Mao was recuperating from overwork.

When Wang Jianan came in, Chairman Mao motioned him to sit down and stood up and said, "Comrade Jian 'an, the central government decided to liberate Jinan first. In order to fight this battle well, we should not go to the First Corps of North China, but to the Shandong Corps, with Xu as the commander and you as the deputy commander. What comments can you make? "

Wang Jianan stood up and gave a military salute: "No problem, listen to your command! Comrade You and I are old partners, please rest assured! "

Later, the two chatted while eating. Chairman Mao said: "The soldiers who attacked Jinan were basically from Shandong. Xu has prestige in Jiaodong. You are famous in Luzhong and Lunan. You Qi Xin will work together to fight this battle. "

Although the operational plan had been drawn up at that time, Chairman Mao thought that Wang Jianan was good at fighting tough battles and could always defeat the enemy, which can be proved by breaking Yishui, downhill and Fengcheng, so he was asked to go to Zhou Enlai for more advice.

Later, Zhou Enlai asked him: "15 days is enough time to break through Jinan?"

"If you continue to fight, the problem is not big."

See Wang Jianan have answers, Zhou Enlai also have a bottom in my heart.

In fact, the pressure of Wang Jianan to attack Jinan still exists. After all, the Yugoslav capital of Jinan has always been strong and heavily guarded. If you can't know yourself and yourself, it's hard to succeed. Even the Kuomintang general Wang boasted: "Jinan is impregnable, and the first line of defense on the periphery can block the * * * army for three months!"

In view of this, Wang Jianan ordered that no mistakes should be made in every step, from reconnaissance to communication, from command to coordination; On the other hand, he personally mobilized troops before the war, encouraged soldiers to be prepared for hard fighting, and proceeded in an orderly manner according to the battle plan.

At that time, although Xu was the commander of Shandong Corps, he was recovering from illness. Back at the command post, I hurried to report my work and said with a smile, "Commander Xu is here. I'm going to make a job."

Xu Youshi held Wang Jianan's hand tightly and said, "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the situation here. You have to play the leading role. "

When the Battle of Jinan broke out, Wang Jianan braved the bullets and personally went to the front line to command for fear of an accident. Under the strong attack of the Eastern Front Group, Wu, the commander-in-chief in charge of the reorganization of the 96th Kuomintang Army, directly led an uprising of 20,000 people and left the battlefield.

The Wu Uprising did make our army attack a lot smoother, but the soldiers guarding the city led by Wang still stubbornly resisted. Our army attacked the city for seven days and seven nights in a row, with heavy casualties. At this point, the atmosphere in the combat meeting room was quiet, and everyone's expression was serious. They don't know whether to stop to rest or continue to storm.

Wang Jianan suddenly stood up: "The battle has reached this point. Although there are many casualties and great difficulties, Wang is more difficult than us. "

Xu Youshi agreed to Wang Jianan's suggestion. At this time, Nie and at the other end also called, and they also insisted on continuing to attack the city without stopping.

After the order was given, the soldiers were full of enthusiasm because they knew that Jinan could only be captured if they continued to attack the city. If they want to have a rest, they must end the battle.

The two sides fought fiercely until the 24th, when Jinan was finally breached and the defenders were wiped out in eight days. At that time, western countries reported that "even cities like Jinan have been breached, and the * * * army is strong enough to capture any city north of the Yangtze River."

In this battle, Wang's platinum revolver was also seized, and it was not handed over to the military museum until his death.

After the Battle of Jinan, Wang Jianan took a short break and led his troops to take part in the command of the Huaihai Campaign. After the Huaihai Campaign, Wang Jianan served as the commander of Shandong Corps (the Seventh Corps) and joined in the battle of crossing the river.

Throughout the war of liberation, Wang Jianan never stopped for half an hour. Basically, he meant fighting wherever he went and never flinched.

1950, when the Korean War broke out, Wang Jianan was ready to enter the DPRK, but he was not sent to direct the operation at that time. It was not until 1952 that Wang Jianan entered the DPRK as the commander and political commissar of the Ninth Corps of Volunteers.

1953, Wang Jianan led soldiers to launch a summer offensive, which shattered the American plot to undermine the armistice negotiations.

Fighting all the year round is unbearable for an iron body. 1954, Wang Jianan was forcibly sent back to China for treatment due to overwork.

1955 In September, the conferring ceremony of the China People's Liberation Army was held as scheduled. According to Wang Jianan's qualifications and meritorious military service, the conferring general did not run away. But because of the episode at the beginning of the article, the general was really awarded in 1956, when Peng and Huang Kecheng personally awarded the rank of general and three first-class medals in the Ministry of National Defense building.

Since then, Wang Jianan has served as deputy commander of shenyang military area command, jinan military area command and Fuzhou Military Region. As can be seen from these positions, Wang Jianan has always served as a deputy, especially at that time, many of his positions were lower than him, while his previous subordinate positions were higher than him.

But he never complained, and Ye Jianying admired him. He said: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is not easy for you to work hard regardless of your position!"

1In August, 975, Chairman Mao personally appointed Wang Jianan as an adviser to the Central Military Commission, offering suggestions and suggestions for the revolutionization and modernization of China's army.

In peacetime, Wang Jianan put all his eggs in one basket at work. He often goes out to investigate. Because of fatigue and abdominal aortic aneurysm, high blood pressure and heart disease, doctors have long advised him not to walk around and climb mountains, but Wang Jianan has never heard of it.

In his later years, Wang Jianan spent four or five months doing research every year. Over the years, he has traveled all over China, and he has traveled almost every inch of China except Tibet and Taiwan Province Province.

As a senior leading cadre, Wang Jianan gives the impression of being honest and clean. He often criticizes people regardless of occasion and never shows mercy. The more he was criticized by his superiors, the heavier he became, so that someone complained to Ye Jianying later. Ye Jianying teased him and said, "Someone is suing you!"

"It must be the person I criticized."

"You're right, work should be like this. Let's take a picture! "

Those who tell on nature is stealing chickens and costly rice, so in the outside world, Wang Jianan's reputation is quite high, just as the central evaluation of him:

1980 On July 25th, Wang Jianan died at the age of 72. Strangely, no one came to the "memorial service" to mourn. Why?

It turned out that not long before his death, Wang Jianan, his wife Niu Yuqing and some leaders watched TV together and happened to see the funeral of foreign heads of government. He said on the spot: "Now our memorial service is getting bigger and bigger, sending more and more wreaths, wasting too much manpower and material resources. After my death, I will not hold a memorial service or send a wreath, but scatter the ashes on the land in my hometown and fertilize the fields. "

This sentence was not told to everyone at that time. Later, when he was seriously ill, he kept telling his family that he must do what he asked.

At that time, because of his serious illness, his wife Niu Yuqing asked to bring one or two children (with four sons) back to his side for care, but Wang Jianan strongly disagreed. He said, "Children are not our private property. They must serve the country and the people. As long as I am not dead, none of them will be transferred back! "

In fact, after Wang Jianan's death, none of his four sons were at home, and none of them had seen him. After learning the news, they rushed home to accompany their mother in shifts, but it didn't take long for her to die. Similarly, the four sons didn't see their mother for the last time, so it was really the door's home!

After his death, his wife and children held a meeting with their families according to his instructions before his death, forming five "no's":

This is Wang Jianan's last wish. It can be said that he never bothers others. Everything was handled by his family and later published in the People's Liberation Army Daily. This noble sentiment of diligence and thrift has been recognized by the people and touched countless people.

Not only that, son Wang Haibo also said that according to his father's will, after his death, his body was sent to the hospital for medical research. Wang Haibo said with red eyes, "My father didn't go to 30 1 hospital before his death, and he doesn't want to go to 30 1 hospital after his death." .

Just over a month after Wang Jianan's death, some old comrades-in-arms and subordinates were shocked: "When did Comrade Wang Jianan die? Why is there no news? " Some people asked each other, and everyone said that they had not received the news.

So that after the death of General Wang Jianan, no one came to the "memorial service" to offer condolences.

Later, when Li Xiannian went to Wang Jianan's house, he turned around in a big circle and said with emotion, "I didn't expect Comrade Jian 'an's life to be so simple! "

It turns out that the residence in Wang Jianan has always been a modular old house. There is no carpet or sofa in the bedroom. Tables, beds and chairs are all old, especially beds. The boards are all hard boards, and one side of the bed leg is half short, which is leveled with bricks.

This is our founding general Wang Jianan.

I want to use this article in memory of General Wang Jianan. There is no quiet day, but someone has carried a heavy burden for you. Today's happiness is hard-won. Don't forget the martyrs, forge ahead.
