Wang Jinzai knows how to run the army with an iron fist, and he has also infiltrated the style and habits of some typical old warlords, making an independent kingdom and taking care of life and death by himself. At the end of 1939, Wang Jinzai carried out the "integration of military and political affairs" in the administrative area, and established the Biyang County Revolutionary Committee, which was chaired by the Committee and acted as the * * * authority. At that time, Zhu Shulie, the county magistrate, was ordered to do everything for Wang himself, and all important affairs should be handled in the headquarters. However, in that extraordinary period, Wang Jinzai was able to control the territory of six counties for five years with the strength of one division, and he was self-sufficient in defending the enemy before it happened, which was inseparable from his iron fist. & gt Wang Jinzai knows that to consolidate his position, a group of cronies must be willing to work for him. So, in addition to recruiting troops in Hubei, he also sent people back to his hometown in Shaanxi. In the name of "defending central Hubei means defending his hometown in the northwest", he recruited thousands of soldiers from his hometown in Weinan and Lintong and dispersed them to various units. A considerable number of them were promoted to officers at all levels and became the backbone team to safeguard his ruling authority. In addition to recruiting children from his hometown, Wang also recruited soldiers in the area. More than 3,000 people in Honghu area alone were enriched by him to various units. Later, many young people were afraid of pulling young men and cut themselves and became disabled. & gt Wang Jinzai has always asked his subordinates to be professional soldiers and is not allowed to be contaminated with any political color. Therefore, there has been no party affiliation in his army. He abandoned the military dogma of the * * * Army and personally drafted fourteen anti-Japanese war slogans as his action program, among which the highest instruction was "Listen to the teachers and obey their orders! "To reflect his absolute authority. Wang Jinzai has always been a military order, and his words will be carried out unequivocally. Whoever disobeys his instructions will be shot. Besides the Japanese, there are four kinds of people he hates most: smoking, gambling, bandits and traitors. Once these people are caught, they will be given a lighter punishment, severely sentenced to prison, and some will be shot. & gt In promoting officers, Wang Jinzai pursues the standard of "appointing people on their merits", which requires not only the ability to command, but also the spirit of going forward bravely and not afraid of death in the war. The most important thing is to be absolutely loyal and obedient to him. In his army, some junior officers may become soldiers at any time or even lose their lives because of fear of death and poor combat effectiveness; And some soldiers who are obedient and brave to him are likely to be promoted and promoted because of World War I. Within the jurisdiction of 128 Division, Wang Jinzai's words are imperial edicts and military orders, and no matter who they are, they can only obey them absolutely. > In order to change the chaotic public security situation in central Hubei, Wang Jinzai executed a large number of brutal and stubborn bandit landlords in various counties, which was applauded by the masses. Then, he transferred a group of disabled officers and men from the army to work in local areas, helped establish anti-Japanese mass organizations such as agriculture, industry and commerce, and women's schools, and formed a good situation in which Qi Xin was rich and strong in unity and resistance to Japan. Wang also implements the administrative system of agricultural insurance and joint insurance, and collects a small amount of tax from law-abiding industrial and commercial households. For those unscrupulous profiteers who exploit villagers less than two catties, the punishment is very heavy. General property and family property have all been confiscated, and life has worries. By establishing a new order, Wang Jinzai significantly improved the public security situation in central Hubei, and created a local social atmosphere of not closing doors and connecting roads at night. However, some of Wang Jinzai's methods are too cruel, especially killing some unforgivable people, such as people who are addicted to heavy cigarettes and immoral people who gamble and commit adultery. & gt On the vast plain in central Hubei, Wang Jinzai imposed a strict blockade on the administrative area in order to prevent traitors and spies. In addition to setting up military posts, he also set up sentry posts at major traffic arteries, intersections and ferries. Each post is equipped with local chief Garbo and ordinary people, and any suspicious stranger will be arrested and interrogated immediately. Wang Jinzai often sends headquarters pickets to these posts for secret inspections. Once, he hid a pistol in a broken bamboo blue and asked an old woman to take it to a sentry post for testing. At first glance, the people at the post looked like an old lady with white hair, but they let her go without checking. Later, everyone in this post was ordered to be shot on the spot by Wang Jinzai, which was really cruel. & gt Wang Jinzai took great pains to safeguard his rights, and his six relatives denied him, even his cousin. In a battle, Li, the cousin of Wang, the head of the 767th regiment, shot two minutes later than the stipulated time. After the war, Wang Jinzai was accused of "no conscience". He put on a show that the Central Military Commission had punished a group of generals who failed in the Anti-Japanese War, and he would also carry it out. In this way, Li became a victim of his authority. Teacher Wang even killed his cousin, which made his subordinate Abala dare not disobey his orders from now on. & gt because Wang refused to accept the military cadres sent by * *, the fifth war zone stopped paying salaries and guns for the 128 division. Wang Jinzai had to collect taxes by districts, which increased the burden on the people. With the continuous expansion of his own army and huge expenses, Wang began to levy taxes. First, he taxed the land at 40% per mu and paid in kind, such as wheat, grain and oil. Second, checkpoints are set up everywhere to collect business tax. In the past, businesses had to collect 10% land tax. In addition, Wang Jianli Arsenal was self-sufficient in making bullets, and frequently attacked the Wang Puppet Imperial Association troops stationed in Hanyang, stopped the Japanese commissary fleet on the Xianghe River, and seized many trophies. In order to put pressure on the authorities, Wang sent troops to cross the river and ate the troops of the fifth regiment of the seventh advance column of the Jinyiwu guerrillas in the fifth theater, forcing the Central Committee to restore the normal establishment of the second brigade and the fourth regiment. Wang's behavior caused strong dissatisfaction among some people. On February 1939, the Party and Government Committee on the battlefield wrote to the Central Military Commission: Wang Jinzhai Division 128, and the guerrilla seventh column of Jinyiwu Division robbed and set up checkpoints on the battlefield, and the place they went was worse than the disaster. With the aim of reorganizing the army, Wang Jinzai formulated the strategy of "defending the position on the south bank of Dongjing River with the peak of Honghu Lake as the center, developing guerrilla warfare, containing and destroying the Japanese army in Hanchuan, Qianjiang and Jianli, and using the land barrier of rivers and lakes to fight a protracted war with the Japanese army". From Zhoulaozui in Jianli to Xiaoshakou in Honghu, 753 fire-fighting earth castles have been built continuously. In addition to building these earthen castles, a mound is built every 10 meter, and trenches up to 2 meters deep are dug everywhere, criss-crossing and reaching the headquarters, which is called the "cross-wall barrier" to resist the Japanese tank attack. Building fortifications and Abatis need a lot of trees. Wang Jinzai ordered the felling of trees in the area under his control. In some places, all the trees have been cut down, and even the ancient temple and city wall in the old city of Mianyang have been demolished, not to mention the trees in the homes of ordinary people. According to Wang's report to the commander of the Fifth Theater, the masses donated more than 7 million yuan to build an official camp and mobilized more than 50,000 civilian workers every day. & gt 128 division was previously located in Miancheng, Xiantao. With the change of the war situation, after the Japanese army occupied Miancheng on 1939+02+ 10, Wang Jinzai moved his division to the tuyere of Honghu and Baiziqiao successively. & gt1on July 25th, 940, the 68th United Front of the Japanese army took advantage of the dark night to attack Cuijiaguai in Xierenkou Township, and fought fiercely with the officers and men of 3rd Battalion, 767th Regiment, Rosty Yi128th Division stationed here, killing more than 80 people under Japanese Chief Chuan Dao Saburo. Subsequently, under the command of the battalion chief Yoshihiro Nomoto, the Japanese army stormed Cuijiaguai again, and was constantly reinforced by the puppet troops stationed in Mianbei, which led to the collapse of the Tubo Group. 3 1 day, 128 division organized a counterattack, killing more than 300 Japanese puppet troops and forcing the Japanese to withdraw from Zhangjiagou and other strongholds. & gt1in the summer of 940, the Japanese aggressors assembled 30,000 men to attack128th division. In order to reduce casualties, Wang Jinzai gave up his first position in Mianyang and set fire to Miancheng to fight against Japan. Retreat to Taojiaba, Fengkou Town, Honghu Lake on the second line, under the command of the front-line king. In this battle, the Japanese invaders used planes, artillery and tanks, and the firepower was so fierce that the officers and men of the 128 division could not lift their heads. Seeing the critical situation, the Japanese army began to charge. Wang Jinzai grabbed the bayonet and ran to the front position, shouting, "Shit, so many birds shit in the sky, why don't they pull it on my head?" "Don't be afraid of the plane, give me a good beating. The officers and men were encouraged to see that the teachers were not afraid of death. At that time, their morale was greatly boosted and they fought closely with the Japanese army. Wang Jinzai grabbed the bayonet and personally fought with the enemy. This battle lasted for three days and nights, and 128 division wiped out more than 100 people 1000, forcing the Japanese army to withdraw to Wuhan. & gt The Japanese once wrote an article in Hankou Daily, arguing that the * * * army in central Hubei was vulnerable except Wang Jinzai's department. I think 128 division is a tough nut to crack. Taro, commander of Wuhan garrison, once sent four traitors with personal letters to surrender Wang Jinzai, promising that Wang would be the commander-in-chief of Hubei 200,000 Imperial Association Army. Wang Jinzai was furious when he read the letter, because he was very keen on the Japanese. His sister was raped and killed by the Japanese army and beheaded and roasted. Wang wrote the word "death" at the back of the letter and drew a bayonet to let a traitor take a message back: "My watch by Wang Jinzai is a bayonet. "The other three traitors were chopped by his knife. & gt 194 1 on February 5, 2000, nearly ten thousand Japanese troops attacked the position on the south bank of Dongjing River in five ways. 10 On June 5, Wang Jinzai saw that the situation was unfavorable, ordered the tuyere to be burned and the division moved to Baiziqiao. By March, the 128 division had smashed the Japanese spring "mopping up" and recovered the lost land on the south bank of Dongjing River, such as Fengkou, Fuchang and Shijiagang. & gt6 on June 24th, 194 1, the Japanese army concentrated 15000 troops, with 200 million puppet troops, and once again invaded Shijiagang, a division defense area in central Hubei128th. Wang Jinzai has carefully transformed the fortifications. The bunker was built with several layers of big trees, and then covered with straw mats and thick soil. Tunnels were dug between the bunkers to support each other. The Japanese army used nearly 30 planes and a large number of artillery and tanks to bombard the positions of the 128 division day and night, but did not cause much damage to these bunkers. When the Japanese army launched a charge, officers and men of the 128 division fired with various light and heavy weapons from the bunker, and the Japanese army screamed. The battle lasted for six days. Although the Japanese army occupied some positions with poison gas and suffered heavy casualties, it was still unable to defeat the king's department and finally ended up withdrawing troops. The Japanese commander Akuma Noban had to admit: "The enemy128th Division relied on the fortress to resist stubbornly, which caused our department to fight fiercely for six days in the hot summer, and even a team leader and two squadron leaders were injured. The development of the situation made the military feel that it agreed to go back to Xiantao for repair. & gt1At the beginning of May, 942, the Japanese army gathered more than 5,000 people to "mop up" the area around Mian Nan Guo Kou, adopted the tactics of "encircling the array by point size", and also dispatched planes and armored motorboats to release toxic gas. After five days and five nights of fierce fighting, the Japanese army had no choice but to blow up Huluba when the Dongjing River rose, trying to drown 10. The local people immediately organized looting and heightening dikes, so that the Japanese army failed in its attempt to drown the main force of 128 Division. 15 night, 128 division reinforcements arrived, annihilated more than 500 Japanese troops and forced the enemy to retreat. At the end of 1942, the Japanese army dispatched 22,000 troops, 5,800 horses and 24 chariots, and launched more than 50 attacks on the position of 128 division. 128 division has only 100 troops and its military equipment is at a disadvantage, but the officers and men are United as one, stubbornly resisting and fighting. & gt1Winter Solstice of 9381February of 943, 128 Division fought with the Japanese puppet troops in central Hubei for more than 100 times, repeatedly thwarting the Japanese crazy attacks and repelling the Japanese puppet troops for more than 80 times. Some major battles, such as Mianyang Xinlirenkou blocking war, Chahekou tough battle and Cuijiajiao defending war, are all very fierce battles. Every battle, Wang Jinzai personally commanded, sometimes at the front, and sometimes by telephone at the headquarters. After paying the price of blood, 128 division suffered heavy losses from the enemy. In this area, the Japanese army has invested four divisions and seven brigades in the war, with more than 10,000 troops 10, more than 6,000 war horses, thousands of light and heavy machine guns, more than 200 guns, more than 200 chariots 100, more than 70 planes, 5 warships and more than 500 motorboats. Through these battles, although the Japanese army occupied part of southern Hunan, it never realized the attempt of the 18th Brigade Command to "solve the Miannan China Army within three months". According to the statistics of Yokoyama Yong, the commander of the No.11KLOC-0/Japanese Army, there were more than 8,000 wounded and sick people and busy Japanese puppet troops in Miannan battlefield alone (incomplete statistics). & gt defeated and captured > Not only the Japanese want to remove the nail of Wang Jinzai, but also Chen Cheng, commander of the Sixth Theater. He secretly ordered the brigade commander of the 382nd brigade of 128 Division to get rid of Wang Jinzai. After the job was done, Gu was appointed as a teacher. In order to avoid suspicion, Gu gave the secret order to the king to show his loyalty. Wang Jinzai, who is suspicious by nature, praised Gu's loyalty on the surface, but secretly became suspicious of Gu, thinking that those who were turned against him must have the possibility of turning against the Lord. So, he issued a wanted order to Pan, the brigade commander of the independent brigade, ordering Pan to closely monitor every move of the ancient brigade and annihilate it with a camera. I didn't expect such a confidential order to be known. Gu was frightened and wanted to vote for Japan. I had to wait for the opportunity because I was afraid that my subordinates would not accept it. & gt the opportunity has finally come. Soon, two ancient regiments with lax military discipline played with cloth clothes and refused to pay for dinner in a restaurant, suing Wang Jinzai, who thought it was an opportunity to weaken the ancient tour. He immediately ordered the two regiments to shoot their adjutant, and then ordered Gu to shoot them. Gu immediately took advantage of this opportunity, and he * * * troops, crying bitterly, told Wang Jinzai's brutal autocracy, incited officers and soldiers to revolt, followed him to the Japanese army, and was appointed as the new sixth division commander of Wang Puppet Army. His troops will be stationed in Yunmeng Luqiao Uprising in September of that year anyway. & gt The ancient surrender book made the Japanese aggressors a treasure, and they almost knew everything about the military deployment, firepower equipment and the actual situation of the defense zone of 128 Division. 1in February, 943, the Japanese army launched the "jiangbei annihilation war" codenamed "Niudao Tactics", and dispatched more than 20,000 people from 13, 58th Division, 40th Division 16 Division, and 80,000 people from the puppet army * * 65438+ 10,000 people. The troops were divided into seven roads and stormed 65438. After 27 days of bloody battle with the enemy, the king was outnumbered and had no friendly support, and almost all the troops were wiped out. On February 27th, led by the traitor Gu, the Japanese army broke into the weak defense zone of128th Division, and took the128th Division to the headquarters of Baiziqiao in Daijiachang, Honghu. Wang fled to the embankment of Xiaoguan Lake alone, but was unfortunately captured. Its officers and men died 8604 people and were captured 232 14 people, but nearly 2000 troops stationed in Anlu still fought bloody battles until the * * * army launched a large-scale counterattack. When the>128th Division was besieged, the * * Army refused to provide assistance, but instead used it as bait to concentrate a large number of troops, including the 22nd Army, 20th Army and 6th Army, on the anti-encirclement campaign against the Japanese puppet troops, resulting in13718th casualties, more than 5,000 prisoners and the killing of the head of the 58th Japanese Division. After the battle, an unrecognizable body was found in Wang's headquarters. * * * thought that Wang Jinzai died for his country. In order to meet the needs of propaganda, the second-class general of the army was posthumously awarded, and the first-class medal was awarded, which was received by his son Wang, and Wang was promoted to the new 45th Division 125 Deputy Brigadier. & gt In fact, after Wang Jinzai was captured, he surrendered to the Japanese army for his rights and interests, and was named the 43rd division commander of Wang Puppet. Soon after, he led an uprising and launched guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. After the troops dispersed completely, he returned to Kangpo village to live in seclusion for a period of time. 1945 After the defeat and surrender of the Japanese army in August, Wang Jinzai planned to go to Yan 'an, because the * * * authorities learned that Hu Zongnan sent someone to trap him in Xi 'an and then escaped. /kloc-in the spring of 0/946, Wang Jinzai crossed the Weihe River in the north, defected to the revolution, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi self-defense column. 1948, the Central Northwest Bureau approved him as a * * * special party member. 1949, Wang was transferred to the deputy commander of Weinan Military Division. After the founding of New China, Wang Jinzai left the army and was transferred to the position of director of Shaanxi Provincial People's Counselor's Office. Later, he served as a member and member of the Standing Committee of the first and second CPPCC in Shaanxi Province. During the Cultural Revolution from 65438 to 0968, Wang was criticized and died in An at the age of 72. & gt time flies, more than 60 years have passed. Wang Jin-zai's merits and demerits have always been commented and controversial. As far as the coffin is concerned, Wang Jinzai's defection to Japan is the biggest stain in his life, although in that special era, * * * also took the initiative to let some troops go to Japan to "save the country by curve"; However, it is an indisputable fact that Wang Jinzai, the division commander of * * * 128 who won the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Medal of Honor in Songhu, has brought shame to the Chinese nation. In addition, in order to maintain his dominant position, Wang took almost cruel measures, such as killing too many people, paying too much taxes, recruiting soldiers cruelly, banning the activities of chambers of commerce, burning Miancheng and causing people to be displaced, which left him some notoriety in Hubei. In particular, on 194 1 February 1 1 February, Wang Jinzai commanded to set fire to the tuyere and carried out a "scorched earth war of resistance", which caused heavy losses and led to the decline of the town's industry and commerce. At 1949, there are only two slate streets with a population of less than 3000. Objectively speaking, as far as its determination and will to fight against Japan alone are concerned, it does not lose the demeanor of a generation of anti-Japanese brave generals. Wang Jinzai, a division of a brigade, held the throat in central Hubei for five years, with his back to the Yangtze River, refused the Japanese invaders to fight on the battlefield, drew a battle table to play the Japanese chieftain, guarded the southwest gateway, and fought against many puppet troops such as the Yellow Army, the Dingguo Army and the Pseudo-Chivalrous Army. His contribution to the Anti-Japanese War is also obvious. In particular, he carried out various forms of anti-Japanese war activities in his area, set up an anti-enemy propaganda team, established an anti-enemy literary and art society, and published the 32nd issue of Anti-enemy. Respect teachers and attach importance to teaching. 52 primary and secondary schools have been built, with more than 3,000 students and 247 teachers, including 63 middle school teachers. Purchase more than mu of land 10, and build the "No.1 Cemetery of Chinese Army Division 128" (located in Fengkou Town, honghu city, built in the twelfth lunar month of 1940, which lasted for half a year and was later destroyed by two floods 1948 to 1949). Refused to carry out Chiang Kai-shek's "* * *" instructions, and concluded a friendly agreement on non-aggression with the troops of the New Fourth Army in northern Hunan. They stubbornly resisted Japan and gained a lot, which made great contributions in the history of Hubei-China War of Resistance. & gt
