In the TV series "Bright Sword", the protagonist Li Yunlong commanded the "Battle of Cangyun Ridge" to kill Captain Sakata with one shot, which was based on the killing of Norihide Abe in the Battle of Huangtu Ridge in November 1939.
The prototype of Li Yunlong in the TV series is Lieutenant General Wang Jinshan, who is known as "Crazy King" on the battlefield. A few days ago, a reporter from Fawan had an exclusive interview with Wang Jinshan’s daughter Wang Yuanyuan. She recalled her father’s military life.
My father is more handsome than Li Yunlong
Wang Jinshan is my father. His life is full of legends - he was born in Huang'an (now Hong'an) County, Hubei Province in 1915. He joined the Red Army at the age of 15 and became the young leader of the Red Army at the age of 20. He was later known as the "Zhukov" of the second field. He is good at fighting hard and vicious battles, spilling blood on the battlefield many times, dying and resurrecting, and even leading troops into the dynasty with crippled hands and legs...
After the TV series "Bright Sword" became popular across the country, many people said that the protagonist Li Yunlong The prototype is the heroic, powerful and legendary Wang Jinshan back then. The story of the Anti-Japanese War in "Bright Sword" is mostly based on the 129th Division. It is indeed related to my father by blood. My father participated in several beautiful battles of the 129th Division, especially such as "Destroying the Japanese Battlefield Tour Group" The battle is his classic example.
But in the eyes of our brothers and sisters, there is still a big difference between Li Yunlong and my father. Li Yunlong is unkempt, but my commander father is handsome, free and powerful. Sometimes we chat and say that it is strange that many generals of the older generation were born in poverty. In the raging war, what made them majestic and temperament? Another difference is that Li Yunlong is a man in his forties. The leader of the regiment is 20 years old, and his father became the regiment leader at the age of twenty. In 1930, my father was only 15 years old when he joined the Red Army.
The Legend of the “Crazy” Dad
My father was born in a poor mountainous area in 1915. He lost his mother when he was very young. At the age of 9, he started working as a long-term laborer for the landlord, herding cattle.
My father was only 15 years old when he joined the Red Army. He once said that he would never forget that when he was a company commander (16 years old), there was a comrade of the same age as him who was there before the battle started. We drank and chatted together, yearning for a happy life in peaceful times. Later, they went to the battlefield together, but the comrade did not come back alive. From then on, he fought bravely to avenge his fallen comrades.
In a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy, he slashed with a knife and bit with his teeth until he hugged the enemy soldier and rolled down the cliff together. When people saw him, he was seriously injured and thought he would die. Unexpectedly, he miraculously survived, earning him the reputation of "Crazy King".
During the Anti-Japanese War, my father composed the "Anti-Japanese War Trilogy" that shocked China and the world.
In mid-to-late October 1937, in Qigen Village in the Niangziguan area of ??Shanxi Province, within three days, the commander’s father successfully carried out two overlapping ambushes, annihilating more than 400 invincible Japanese troops and capturing A large number of weapons, ammunition and equipment.
The second part, in 1943, on the way to Yan'an to form the new Fourth Brigade, the commander's father "accidentally encountered" and completely annihilated the Japanese army in Hanlue Village, Shanxi Province, and "observed the battlefield" group". This team, composed of senior officers from the infantry school and other units, including a major general brigade commander, six colonel commanders, and more than 100 squadron leaders, were all wiped out. The commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, Okamura Neiji, was furious and shouted: "If we sacrifice two more companies, we will eat this Japanese army!" Dad had already expected that the Japanese army would retaliate, and adopted hit-and-run tactics, which resulted in Okamura Neiji's "iron rolling three-tier new tactics" was aborted.
In the third part, as early as late July 1945, in order to defend Yan'an, Dad captured Yetai Mountain in one fell swoop in the Battle of Yetai Mountain in Chunhua County, northern Shaanxi, and completely defeated Hu Zongnan's army that invaded Yan'an, effectively defeating the enemy. The safety of Yan'an was ensured and he was received by Chairman Mao again.
Chairman Mao said: "Comrade Wang Jinshan, people say you are 'Crazy Wang'. I don't think that is called madness, that is called revolutionary heroism. In this battle, you almost drove General Hu Zongnan crazy!"
"There is only one company left, I will be the company commander!"
During the Anti-Japanese War, the commander's father successively served as the commander of 4 brigades: the 386th Brigade, the 38th Brigade The fifth brigade, the new fourth brigade, and the new eighth brigade are also very rare among senior generals in the army. In the early days of the Liberation War, the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu field troops formed six columns, and my father was the commander of the column. In the Battle of Dingtao, during the bloody battle at Dayang Lake, the commander's father issued a military order on behalf of the sixth column: "If there is a brigade left, I will be the brigade commander! If there is a regiment left, I will be the regiment commander! If there is a company left, I will be the company commander! The entire column will be destroyed. We are worthy of the Party and the folks from the Taihang Mountains who nurtured us!" Nowadays, many war-themed film and television dramas often regard this shocking sentence as a classic sentence. In fact, this is the patent of my father, the commander!
Anyone who has fought with my father has told me that my father has a habit, that is, wherever he is, there will be red flags flying. When the red flag is there, one flag soldier falls, and another rushes up to take the flag and continue to move forward. As long as there is a red flag, you can find Wang Jinshan!
Dad never lives for fame and fortune
Actually I have two fathers. Wang Jinshan is my biological father, also called "Commander Dad". Later, my father gave me to his driver before I was born, and I called him "Driver Dad". Commander's father is not only strong-willed but also soft-hearted, so-called chivalrous and tender-hearted. He and his driver Zhu Tiemin, who had a tacit understanding of each other, had gone through hardships and hardships in several battles of the Liberation War. The relationship between them had long gone beyond the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and was even closer than that of biological brothers.
The commander’s father lived his life not for fame or profit. As a soldier, he did not pursue those prominent official positions and power. He was loyal to his beliefs.
2015 is the 100th anniversary of my father’s birth. Although my father has been away from us for more than 30 years, no matter what we do, we always think that we are Wang Jinshan’s descendants, and we can only do things worthy of him. , We must not disgrace him. This is the unanimous voice of all our children.
I will follow his example and always learn from his excellent character of perseverance, perseverance, insistence on justice, and defense of the truth, and I will be down-to-earth and honest in my future life. .
