Wang Xiangxiong's Anti-Japanese War

In April 1918, a poor baby family was born to a poor peasant family in Caixi Township, Shanghang County. The head of the household was an honest farmer and gave the baby boy a very feminine nameWang Xiang. The Wang family had two men and three women. Due to the distressed family, they sold all three daughters to others as children. Wang Xiang was handsome, smart and clever since he was young. His father, Ke Qin, and frugality, did everything he could to ask his relatives and friends for help. He finally sent him to the elementary school for 2 years. He could nt afford it, so Wang Xiang had to learn halfway. After studying, Xiangxiang Wang became an apprentice at a drug store.

In July 1929, under the tactics of the "Zhu Mao Red Army," farmers in Caixi held an armed riot, established the Soviet regime, beat the local tyrants, divided the fields, and the poor peasants turned to be liberated. Wang Xiang actively participated in the village children's group, happily enrolled in a senior labor elementary school (later changed to Lenin elementary school), and realized his desire to study. He is diligent and hard-working, and has a particularly strong memory. The teacher lectures, can memorize it, and has the highest academic performance. During the school period, he was elected as the deputy head of Caixi District Children's Team. In March 1931, after graduating from Lenin Primary School, Wang Xiang was selected to be an apprentice to Caixi Medicinal Materials Cooperative. Because of his enthusiasm for work and hard work, on the one hand he learned Chinese medicine knowledge and on the other hand he learned pharmaceutical technology. In less than a year, he had mastered more than a hundred medicines. President Huang of the cooperative praised him as "a smart man". Wang Xiang joined the Communist Youth League in 1932 and was elected a member of the Youth League branch. In May of that year, at an enlarged Red Army meeting, Wang Xiang, who was only 14 years old, responded to the party's call and signed up with his fellow Wang Shao and Liu Manxi to join the Red Army of Chinese workers and peasants.

Chairman Su of Caixi Township patted the shoulder of Wang Xiangxiong who became a Red Army soldier and praised, "Wang Xiang, although you are young but ambitious, you will definitely be able to do big things in the future. So, I suggest you name it from now on. The word "Xiong" is added to the back, and the name is changed to Wang Xiangxiong. "Wang Xiangyi heard that Chairman Xiang Su praised himself, although he was not quite sure of the substantial difference between Wang Xiang and Wang Xiangxiong, but he was happy to change the name to Wang Xiangxiong. Wang Xiangxiong's name is still known. After approval, Wang Xiangxiong and three others reported to the Baisha Fujian Military Command. A doctor at the Hongguang Pharmaceutical Factory of the Fujian Military Region heard that Wang Xiangxiong was a rare medical talent, so he asked Wang Xiangxiong for leadership. The headquarters agreed to assign Wang Xiangxiong to work at the Hongguang Pharmaceutical Factory under the Nanyang Tea Tree Military Region, and became a medicine.

In 1933 Wang Xiangxiong was elected to the Political Department of the Fujian Military Region as the leader of the propaganda team and the director of the Freemasonry. Soon, he was sent to the Red Army School to study medicine for 3 months, and then was assigned to work in the Red Capital Hospital of Sidu as a doctor's assistant, and was gloriously changed from a member of the Communist Youth League to a member of the Communist Party of China. In July 1934, during the fifth anti- "encirclement and suppression" period in the Central Soviet Area, Wang Xiangxiong was transferred to the independent front of the 17th regiment as a doctor, and in October he was transferred to the independent 10 regiment as a doctor. At this time, the fifth time against the "encirclement and suppression" failed, the main force of the Central Red Army was forced to evacuate, and a 25,000-mile long march was held. In the spring of 1935, the Kuomintang attacked Changting and Ruijin arbitrarily and implemented a large-scale "encirclement and suppression". The Fujian Military Region authorities and their affiliates were surrounded and dispersed. The wounded and sick of the Red Army Hospital in Sidu were forced to be evacuated to the homes of ordinary people in mountainous areas. Wang Xiangxiong was ordered to evacuate more than a dozen wounded to Wuping, Shanghang and other places, insisting on fighting with the guerrillas. That autumn, Wang Xiangxiong dived home to Caixi. At this time, the Kuomintang reactionary regime set up 22 guarantees in the entire district of Caixi, and the fleeing landlords, gentry, made a comeback, counterattacked, and recaptured the land and washed the village. The Kuomintang Caixi Township Office demolished 35 civilian houses and sent hard laborers for more than 20,000 labor days, extorted more than 10,000 Red Army family members and the masses of Koyo I, and built a 10-acre earth building with a wall thickness of 3 feet. "In the delusion of permanence and peace, the local people secretly cursed it as" Blood of Tears ". The reactionaries, headed by the head of the township, Liu Yihuai, hunted down the Red Army and its family members into the earthen house to persecute them. Witnessing the atrocities of the Kuomintang reactionaries, the leaders of Caixi Underground Party Organization Qiu Qihua (Qiu Yuhua), Wang Quan, Liu Rong and others immediately sent people to contact the Red Army guerrillas of Iwatayama; they were allowed to organize a second armed riot, attack the Kuomintang township office, and rescue Revolutionary comrades detained. Wang Xiangxiong actively participated in secret meetings to discuss and formulate a riot plan.

On the night of May 13, 1936, Wang Xiangxiong, Wang Quan, Qiu Qihua and others led more than 50 rioters and surrounded the township office. Liu Ronghuai, the head of the security guard, was an underground party member and was responsible for the party's instructions. Seeing that the rioters surrounded the township office, Liu Rong immediately tied more than a dozen guns prepared in advance and passed them from the window to the riot team, and hinted that the handymen quickly opened the gate of the township office, and the rioters rushed in. On the spot, Huang Shubing, the financial and grain officer of the township public office, immediately shot Liu Yihuai, the township leader who attempted to hide in the gunhouse, and stubbornly resisted. The rest of the township office jumped off the building and escaped, and the riot team rescued the detained revolutionary comrades. The Caixi riot shocked the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the Kuomintang reactionaries immediately dispatched more than 300 troops from Shanghang County to madly suppress them. The riots were outnumbered and poorly equipped, and the situation was extremely unfavorable. 21 rioters were killed. The riot team was forced to transfer. Wang Xiangxiong, Wang Quan, Qiu Qihua and other leaders led more than ten backbones to evacuate Caixi. They moved around Moyang, Gutian, and Longyan. After hard work, they finally found a superior organization and joined the leadership of Zhang Dingji. Red Army guerrillas.

In the spring of 1937, Wang Xiangxiong got in touch with Zhang Siyuan, Qiu Xiangtian, and other people. He went to Longyan Baisha to participate in the Minxi Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and served as a document in the headquarters of the first detachment. In October of the same year, the Southwest Fujian Red Army guerrillas were reorganized into the Second Division of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Wang Xiangxiong was transferred to the headquarters of the Second Division. In March 1938, more than 2,000 Minxi children in the second detachment of the New Fourth Army bid farewell to the folks in southwestern Fujian, set off on the front line of the anti-Japanese national defense in Jiangsu and Anhui, and entered the great anti-Japanese national liberation war. Upon arriving in southern Jiangsu, Wang Xiangxiong personally directed the Wuhu Guantumen battle in Wuhu, Anhui. He led a detachment of reconnaissance companies, cooperated with the three regiments to advance into the puppet commander Zhang Dehai, captured many enemy documents and maps, and studied the Jiangnan enemy s counterfeiting against the New Fourth Army The situation played an important role. Wang Xiangxiong was praised by Deputy Commander Su Yu.

In the winter of 1939, the first and second detachment organizations of the New Fourth Army merged into the Jiangnan headquarters of the New Fourth Army. Some of the personnel directly under the second detachment's organization formed the New Second Division. Wang Xiangxiong was reappointed as the new second detachment reconnaissance staff. Liao Haitao, deputy commander of the detachment, valued him very much, saying that he was an experienced staff and was familiar with the situation in Jiangnan. Each time he was sent out for reconnaissance, he could complete the task and provide the troops in a timely manner. The situation of enemy's counterfeiting effectively helped the commander to make up his combat determination. On one occasion, Liao Haitao sent Wang Xiangxiong to Tangshan, Nanjing to investigate the enemy s situation. Wang Xiangxiong took 4 scouts to the enemy stronghold, captured a deputy leader of the puppet army, made the situation in Baohuashan clear, and successfully opened up the new two detachments. The traffic line from Jubei to Jiangbei. In July 1940, the headquarters of the Second Division of the New Fourth Army was stationed at Sanmaofeng and Dujiabian. Wang Xiangxiong took the reconnaissance squad leader Chen Guisheng and the scout Tong Jinhua to disguise themselves as local farmers. They went to the cropland next to the Zhenbao Highway to help the common people work, closely observed the enemy's vehicle behavior. After 3 days of reconnaissance, they checked the traffic situation of the enemy vehicles. A Japanese car drives to Baoshui every day and returns early and late, and the speed is not fast, and the speed is less than 30 kilometers per hour. Wang Xiangxiong left the two scouts to continue the reconnaissance, hurried back to the headquarters, reported the intelligence obtained from the reconnaissance to Deputy Commander Liao Haitao, and suggested an ambush. After listening to his report, Deputy Commander Liao said happily, "Okay! We can have a mine on the highway to blow up enemy cars and destroy the enemy." He also instructed Wang Xiangxiong to return to Zhenbao Highway to continue reconnaissance and monitor the enemy trend. As a result, this battle was fought very beautifully, blowing up the enemy's car, capturing two Japanese soldiers, and seizing more than ten rifles and machine guns.

General Wang Zhi recalled in the article "Remembering Several Things of Comrade Wang Xiangxiong": In the years after Comrade Wang Jiangxiong's enemy, he ignored his safety and exhaustion. In order to destroy the enemy and win the battle, he went out of reconnaissance many times, doing everything possible to overcome difficulties. Make the enemy's sentiment, terrain and people's sentiment clear. Every battle victory is inseparable from his careful reconnaissance.

In September 1940, Wang Xiangxiong entered the Taihu area with his troops to launch a guerrilla war behind enemy lines.

Between Taihu Lake and Yonghu Lake in southern Jiangsu and several nearby counties, namely Wujin County south of Ninghu Railway, west and south of Yixing County and Wuxi County, and some parts of Changxing County in Zhejiang Province are called Taiyong Area. This region has beautiful mountains and rivers, fertile land, and rich products. It is a well-known hometown of fish and rice, and it is located in the triangle of the border between Ning, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. It has convenient transportation and an important strategic location. It is a battle between the Japanese, the KMT, and the New Fourth Army. Ground. This area has a good mass foundation. During the Great Revolution, the peasant movement was ups and downs, and they carried out the revolutionary struggle against imperialism and feudalism. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, a vigorous anti-Japanese national salvation campaign was launched under the leadership of the Communist Party. In September 1939, driven by the mass anti-Japanese national salvation movement, Cheng Weixin, a local power faction, organized the "People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army" in Yixing County, and Li Fu also organized the "South Jiangsu People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army". In order to launch mass anti-Japanese guerrilla wars in the Tailan area, the New Fourth Army sent Yang Hongcai into the Taihu area with a main battalion of the Fourth Regiment. In October 1939, Commander Chen Yi of the Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army issued an order to reorganize the above-mentioned troops into the Independent Second Regiment of the New Fourth Army. In April 1941, the Sixteenth Brigade of the Sixth Division of the New Fourth Army was established at the gate of Yixing. The brigade commander Luo Zhongyi and political commissar Liao Haitao belonged to the brigade regiment. The organization appointed Wang Xiangxiong as the commander of the Second Battalion of the Second Independence Regiment. After receiving the order, Wang Xiangxiong felt that he was incompetent. He found his hometown, classmate, and deputy director of the brigade political department, Wang Zhi, and expressed his thoughts directly. He said, "Director Wang, you are familiar with me. I have long been I have nt even worked as a commander or platoon commander in an office. Now I immediately called me battalion commander. I do nt think I have any experience in managing and commanding troops. Therefore, do you come forward and help me to suggest to my superiors to let me continue? As a staff officer. "Wang Zhizhi talked fast and his voice was loud. He smiled and said," You're bad. Why don't you become a battalion commander? After a long period of training in the army, the brigade chief believes you can be a good battalion commander. To To lead a good army, you need to explore from practice, and you will be familiar with the rules of work. Of course, the difficulties you face are some, and they are also very large. The enemy bases in the Taihu area are densely packed, and they are the most in the enemy-to-enemy triangle struggle. In the most complicated and most acute places, the struggle is arduous, and the two independent regiments are newly formed. They are relatively complicated. The regimental leader Cheng Weixin and the First Battalion are both United Front troops. We must pay attention to the Party s United Front policy everywhere. .You may encounter some difficulties at the beginning. You must be fully prepared. "Wang Xiangxiong listened to his words and strengthened his confidence. Wang Zhi also gave Wang Xiangxiong the ancient teaching that" there is no difficulty in the world, but only those who care for you. " It was Chengzhu in the chest, happily obeying the organization assignment, and served as the battalion leader of the second battalion.

Shortly after Wang Xiangxiong's arrival, an accident happened in the Second Battalion, and the instructor Xie Shouhua fled with a gun. After handling the matter, the brigade commander Luo Zhongyi asked Wang Xiangxiong to be replaced as the camp political commissar. I have just become a battalion commander from an office cadre. The bench of the battalion commander has not yet been hot, and he has to change to be a political commissar. The ideological and political work is strange to him. Therefore, Wang Xiangxiong could not help feeling embarrassed. When Brigadier Luo Zhongyi knew it, he talked to him and patiently listened to his report. Then he asked: "Are you a Communist?" Wang Xiangxiong replied, "Yes." He said, "Since you are a Communist, you must obey the distribution of the organization. As a Communist, as long as it is required by the revolution, you must learn everything and do everything. You can never do anything. If you are not familiar with familiarity, and you have learned the truth from practice, you must make up your mind, do not be afraid of difficulties, and do your work well. "Of course, Mr. Luo also told Wang Xiangxiong a lot of encouragement and talked about how to think well. Specific methods of political work. The chief of staff of the brigade staff, Wang Sheng, is also a hometown of Wang Xiangxiong. He encouraged Wang Xiangxiong to say, "In the revolutionary army, it is difficult to separate military and political affairs. Military cadres and political cadres both have to do political work and must direct wars!" Encouraged by the head, Wang Xiangxiong relieved his ideological burden and immediately said that he would listen to the party, study hard, and do a good job.

After Wang Xiangxiong served as the political commissar of the Second Battalion, in May 1941, he led the Second Battalion to one of the seven districts of Wujin County, namely Minghuang, Qianhuang, Nanxiashu, Lijiaqiao, and Banjia, to carry out armed struggle behind the enemy. At the time, it was a model area of pseudo-paradigm. The Communist Party is relatively weak here, the masses have not yet started, and the counterfeiting and counterfeiting struggle is very sharp, complicated and fierce. On June 5, Wang Xiangxiong led a company with the Second Battalion and joined the armed forces led by Zhu Zhen, the 7th District Self-Defense Forces guide. When he entered the village of Datangli, northwest of Lijiaqiao, he was suddenly surrounded by a puppet army. Intelligence, the fierce enemy came to the village and was not found. Wang Xiangxiong commanded the troops in a hurry to fight, because the enemy was weak, and the situation was unknown, he had to fight and withdraw. However, Zhu Zhen, who was doing mass work in the village, was too late to be transferred, and was unfortunately captured by Sheng Jiran's puppet army. After Zhu Zhen was arrested, he was unyielding and righteous. Before he was killed by the enemy, Comrade Zhu Zhen propagated to the puppet army who wanted to release the gun: "I died for the resistance against Japan. One day, the people will avenge me. "" Conscientious Chinese don't help Japanese devils kill their compatriots! "After Comrade Zhu Zhen's sacrifice, the local people deeply missed her and buried her body on the mound near Zhangjiaqiao. Zhu Zhen is from Qiqiao, Wujin County. He has a strong personality. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he resolutely joined the revolutionary team and joined the party. He grew up into an outstanding young female cadre in the practice of revolution. Wang Xiangxiong deplored the sacrifice of Comrade Zhu Zhen. Later, he suggested that the democratic government of Wunan County erected a tombstone for Zhu Zhen. The inscription was engraved with a poem: Saving the People and Saving the Country actually urged the mountain and generously became a beneficiary. Men talk about how ambitious men are, and who say women are not heroic. Qingshan buried his faithful bones today, and his history is still upright. The boiled beans were burning and crying, and the rivers and mountains were half-blooded.

After the battle in Datangli Village, Wang Xiangxiong led his troops and moved to the Yixing Zhakou area. There are 3 enemy bases around here. The southwest is Heqiao, a squadron and gendarmerie of the Japanese army, and a puppet army. There are three companies, and the seven and eighty men and a puppet army of the Permanent Army of Yuqiao. The northeast of Battalion 3 is Yuncun, with eighty or ninety Japanese troops stationed, and a puppet company. The enemy attempted to bring down the independent Second Regiment of the New Fourth Army. After besieging the military with no help, they sought a breakthrough in Cheng Weixin, the commander of the Independent Second Regiment. Cheng Weixin is a local faction. He is nominally the head of the Independent Second Regiment of the New Fourth Army. He maintains an affiliation with the organization. In fact, he is a fancier. Therefore, the enemy's puppet leaders and men sent out to express their affection for Cheng Weixin. The captain of the Japanese invaders, Nakano, pretended to be Cheng Weixin, showing an atmosphere of reconciliation. Not only did he stop "sweeping", he also proposed to Cheng Weixin: Do not invade each other. The willingness of "friendly fellowship" expressed willingness to negotiate with Cheng Weixin. Cheng Weixin, who was weak in revolutionary will, could not withstand the temptations of enemies and counterfeiters, secretly colluded with the Japanese invaders, and secretly renamed the New Second Army's Independent Second Regiment as the "Self-Defense Regiment". He also designated the gate area as his garrison. After Wang Xiangxiong knew this, he immediately reported to the Taihu Prefectural Committee. Chen Liping, the secretary of the Taihu Prefectural Committee, directly asked Cheng Weixin to talk to Fengjiatang. After all, Cheng Weixin was guilty of concealment and concealed the truth of the facts. He called it "a clever combination of the fighting wisdom and fighting strength of the enemy. It is an expedient measure to preserve and develop strength." But Cheng Weixin did not dare to act boldly. Cheng Weixin stationed the troops of the Independent Second Regiment and the First Battalion and the Third Battalion in the Shijiazhuang area southwest of the gate, and no longer moved to other places.

Wang Xiangxiong led the Second Division and the Second Battalion of the Second Independence Regiment to the Zhakou area, rested in Yaoqiaotou, Zhushuxia, Yinjiatang, and replenished ammunition and supplies. On the evening of the 3rd, Wang Xiangxiong planned to insert his troops into the Nanzhai area in order to work in Xixi. Because he had not received the enemy s enlistment and operational intelligence beforehand, he was a bit paralyzed. On the afternoon of the day, it rained heavily and the march was inconvenient. Political commissar Chen Liping and chief of staff Yang Hongcai agreed to leave the troops there. Unexpectedly, the Japanese mobilized troops on the same day to recruit more than one person, and they ran from Changzhou and Wuxi on a long distance to surround the Zhakou area. At dawn on the 4th, the Japanese army had completed the siege of the question area. The land route north controlled Yuncun, Yanqiao, Wanshiqiao, Heqiao and the main intersection along the highway, and the north controlled the Yuncun to Yangqiao line. In the west, gunboats blocked the Tanghe River from Zhongxi to Heqiao and the line from Zhongxi to Yangqiao, and scored the road towards the independent Second Regiment Forces (Regiment Headquarters and First and Third Battalions) led by Cheng Weixin, which were fierce in Shijiazhuang and Oujiatang. attack. The second battalion led by Wang Xiangxiong was not attacked by the enemy at the time. When he heard the gunfire, he immediately discussed the countermeasures with the regimental committee member Chen Liping and the chief of staff Yang Hongcai. The committee member considered that although Cheng Weixin had two-faced behavior, he had not yet fully sold his soul. The point of turning his face with me should still focus on the overall situation. When he encountered a serious and dangerous situation, he supported him, and ordered the four companies to attack in Shijiazhuang in order to respond to Cheng Weixin's breakthrough. The two platoons of six companies were responsible for cover. Chen Liping, Yang Hongcai and the staff of the prefectural Party committee broke through at Nanzhai, and the other one of the six companies was alert to Guimeiqiao. Wang Xiangxiong personally led five companies to seize Xiaowandu to cover four companies and attack. However, Cheng Weixin's regiment and a battalion were unprepared for battle. Under the sudden siege of several days by the puppet army, they only partially resisted and were quickly defeated by the enemy. Cheng Weixin himself only brought a short gun squad and some security personnel northward. Break through. Between Wuping and Shenjiaping, Cheng Weixin was wounded by the enemy's grenades. He was rescued from the danger by the local people. In the afternoon, Wanfu in the gap between the enemies broke out westward. After hearing the gunshot, Liu Menggen, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion in Shijiazhuang, did not take the initiative to meet the enemy and broke through to Fufeng District. The second battalion of the Second Battalion commanded by Wang Xiangxiong entered the vicinity of Hang Qiaotou and encountered the enemy. They immediately seized the commanding heights and engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy. The Japanese forces found new targets and rushed to the fourth company position. After Wang Xiangxiong's Wulian occupation of Xiaowanduqiao, he heard sparse gunfire in the direction of Shijiazhuang, and the four guns attacked densely. Wang Xiangxiong immediately judged that the Chengwei Reformation Corps and a battalion had been defeated. The Japanese attacked, and Wang Xiangxiong immediately sent two correspondents to convey the order of withdrawal to the four companies. The four companies were ordered to fight and withdraw, crossing the Xiaowan Bridge and converging with the five companies. In a situation where the enemy is strong and weak, Wang Xiangxiong commanded the four companies to be the defenders and the five companies to be the defenders, retreating in the direction of Mazhuang Bridge. During the fierce battle between the Xiaowan Bridge and the Japanese army, the five company commander Liang Ahu sacrificed heavily. When Wang Xiangxiong commanded his troops to retreat, the Japanese army relented, blocked the retreat of the six companies, and surrounded the four companies and five companies from the east, north, and south. The situation was very critical. Wang Xiangxiong commanded calmly and blocked the enemy with some forces to cover the rest. The troops continued to retreat northward. When they wanted to cross the Qiaoqiao River, they found that Tan Jiahao and the north bank of the Qiaoqiao River were occupied by the Japanese, and immediately ordered the troops to break out west. When the troops reached Qian's home, they were again blocked by the river. Before this, there was a critical moment when the river was blocked, followed by a troop chase. Wang Xiangxiong's old landlord, Deng Huaiyin, drew a boat and appeared magically in front of Wang Xiangxiong. Wang Xiangxiong was nervous. His mood spread out, and a smile appeared on the dark face smeared by the smoke. Deng Huaiyin risked his life to accept the troops to cross the river. In order to gain time, under the command of Wang Xiangxiong, in addition to the soldiers who crossed the river by boat, the soldiers who could swim jumped down the river and swam to the opposite bank. Some people also had a clever move and found wooden feet. The canoe finally made the troops throw off the enemy's pursuit. When the enemy rushed to the river, they could only sigh at the river.

On the afternoon of the same day, Wang Xiangxiong led the troops to Yang Tieli near the water diversion pier. It was Ye Liping, the political commissar and Yang Hongcai's chief of staff, who also led the troops to Yang Tieli. The two units merged successfully. This battle lasted a whole day with the enemy, hurting more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops, and the New Fourth Army also paid a large price. More than 20 commanders and soldiers, including Yi Ning County Party Secretary Sun Ning and the Five Company Commander Liang Ahu, were killed and injured more than 20 people. After Cheng Weixin broke through and was wounded, he moved to Shanghai to heal the wounds. After the wound was healed, he packed up the remnants and turned to the Kuomintang.

In October 1942, Wang Xiangxiong was ordered to lead the Second Battalion to destroy the enemy stronghold of the Zhaiqiao. To the west of the Zhaiqiao is Yong Lake, a platoon force of the puppet army Zhang Laisheng lingers here, running across the country, the fish and the people, and the people's teeth grieving. In order to eliminate this puppet army, expand the anti-Japanese armed struggle in the Wunan area, and open up the passage between Wunan and Yonghu and from Wunan to Zhakou area, Wang Xiangxiong was ordered to contact the Wunan County Party Committee and Ding She District Party Committee to send scouts to sneak into enemy strongholds and buy a puppet army. The deputy platoon leader and a squad leader found out the strength and equipment of the enemy stronghold, and agreed on the time and method. On the night of November 28, Wang Xiangxiong, together with Yang Gufang and Qian Mengwu, commanded the troops to quietly reach into the enemy's stronghold, killing the enemy platoon leader on the spot, and the rest of the puppet army stayed like a chicken, surrendering and surrendering. In this battle, because Wang Xiangxiong and others adopted a tactic of taking wisdom, they spent only one particle bomb and destroyed the enemy stronghold. At this point, there are no enemy strongholds in the lakeshore area of the Wunan area, which has created good conditions for expanding the anti-Japanese armed struggle.

In 1942, Wang Xiangxiong led the Second Infantry Regiment and the Second Battalion to fight more than 60 large-scale battles in the Taichung area, destroying 3 enemy strongholds, seizing 12 machine guns, 1 grenade barrel, 107 rifles, and 31 fast-action shell guns. , Wounded 264 people and captured 138 people.

In January 1943, Wang Xiangxiong was ordered to lead five companies to the area east of Huzhou, in response to the fourth company to build the second battalion, the camera destroyed the enemy. When Wang Xiangxiong led his part to the shore of Taihu Lake in the northwest of Nande Town, it was not expected that the puppet army gathered more than 1,000 people from the east and south and rushed to our army. In the face of an enemy attack ten times mys, Wang Xiangxiong and all the commanders and soldiers knew that there was no way back, so they had to fight against the water and swear to fight the enemy to the end. Wang Xiangxiong believed in the ancient soldiers' training that "dead to death". After analyzing the enemy's situation and terrain, he instructed the instructor Chen Yangde to bring a squad and a machine gun to seize the commanding height near a small temple on the east slope to block the enemy on the east. He himself took 2 platoons and concentrated his efforts on blocking the south. enemy. Wang Xiangxiong said to the soldiers: "Everyone must be calm and obey the command. I believe we can win. My crust gun is not fired and no one is allowed to fire. We must wait for the enemy to open fire when we approach our position. We must guard the position. It s the last person to defend the position and cover the troops to counterattack. With his encouragement, he pointed out that the soldiers stood still and the enemy was only tens of meters away from my position. Wang Xiangxiong still had some leisure and took the machine gun squad leader Yu Jinnan's Huang The pipe was smoking, in fact, he was just taking advantage of the smoking machine, not rushing to observe and think. When the enemy entered more than 30 steps away from Wang Xiangxiong, Wang Xiangxiong's shell gun fired a bullet and shouted, "Hit!" The soldiers immediately threw out 50 grenades, and several machine guns fired at the same time, killing the enemy a lot. Wang Xiangxiong shouted, "Fill me!" The soldiers jumped out of the trenches to take a big kick back, defeating the enemy of the Southern Offense, and the enemy of the East hurried back. This campaign wounded dozens of enemies, and seized one machine gun each and more than 10 rifles.

One night shortly thereafter, Wang Xiangxiong and Lin Shengguo, director of the Political Department of the regiment, led the troops to Pingdingshan camp. Pingdingshan is an island by the Tai Lake, with a radius less than one mile. In order to strengthen the vigilance, they divided the two fishing boats on the island into two groups, and sent the party general secretary Huang Guanqiu and the six company instructor Dai Shuzhou to bring six soldiers, disguised as fishermen, and scattered activities on Taihu Lake. At around 11 am the next day, three Japanese patrol boats traveled west of the lake and found two boats. They sped up while they were firing. The yellow crown ball, Dai Shuzhou, and the six soldiers on the ship were brave and calm. , Sail the fishing boat at full speed in the opposite direction of Pingdingshan. The enemy motorboat was chasing after it. When the enemy motorboat approached the fishing boat, the eight warriors on the boat threw a grenade at the same time, killing several devils on the motorboat. The enemy boat suddenly turned around and turned around with more fierce artillery fire. As a result, two fishing boats were sunk. Eight warriors including Huang Guanqiu and Dai Shuzhou sacrificed 6 people, and 2 were out of danger. Wang Xiangxiong and his comrades hiding on Pingdingshan saw the soldiers sacrifice and filled the injustice with injustice, but they had to turn their hatred into tears and endure the tears. Without revealing the targets, the entire army was safely transferred.

On February 5th, the Lunar New Year's Eve, Wang Xiangxiong led his troops back to Wunan to obtain information: Most of the soldiers of Yang Shuyuan's Pseudo-Self-Defense Forces Yan Wenyao and Go Ahuan had gone home for the Spring Festival. Wang Xiangxiong seized the fighter and ordered the regiment's adultery officer Zeng Qingrui to lead the Wunan County short-gun team to attack the pseudo-military base. On the eve of 10 o'clock on New Year's Eve, the enemy stronghold was empty. The short-gun team ended the battle with only 4 shots. 6 people, 8 long guns seized, 1 light machine gun, more than 700 rounds of bullets. In order to celebrate the victory, the democratic government of Wunan County specially held a Zhu Jie conference near Ming Huang to celebrate the Spring Festival with the joy of battle victory.

At the beginning of 1943, the Japanese army further promoted its reactionary policy of "making China by China" and "supporting war by war", deploying "qingxiang" in Wunan and Xixi, strengthening "sweeping" and "encroaching" on Yixing. The Japanese and puppet troops forced the people quickly, along the Xiyi Highway to Lingtai by the lake, and then northward along the Wudong Bridge, Yahe to the west of Changzhou, constructing a bamboo fence as a blockade. In the Wunan New Fourth Army Guerrilla Zone, the north-south 60-meter long and 30-mile wide bamboo fence wall was built for more than 100 li. Eight bridges were set up in Yangqiao, Lingtai, Wudong Bridge, Gangqiao, Temple Bridge, and Wujia Bridge. More than 30 tower-style bunkers were built. Checkpoints have been set up at various levels of water and land transportation, and tightly sealed locks have been deployed, and more than 3,000 Japanese military military tactics have been used for large-scale "sweeping." At the same time, the enemy launched a reactionary propaganda campaign for "Clean Township" and reportedly wanted the leaders of the Second Independence Regiment of the New Fourth Army such as Wang Xiangxiong and Yang Hongcai. They also received rogue and reactionary gang forces and sent a large number of secret agents and armed secret agents. The "Qingxiang" district forced the people to "register the population", "continue to protect themselves," and issue "good people's cards", etc., in an attempt to eliminate the Communist Party and the New Fourth Army in Wunan and Xixi.

In early April, Wang Xiangxiong was ordered to lead a team of more than 20 people from the Wunan County Guard Company to return to Wunan. Together with the short gun squad of the county party committee secretary Wang Zida and deputy county chief Chen Cheng, he launched a tit-for-tat struggle with the enemy and insisted on anti- clearing the countryside inside . At that time, the environment was difficult and the struggle was sharp and complicated. The enemy searched and arrested people day and night. Wang Xiangxiong and others led the army to emerge day and night, flexibly interspersed in the enemy's gap, and waited for the opportunity to attack the enemy. They sometimes change camps in several places a day. During the day, the sentry disguised as a peasant and the people working together in the field to observe the enemy's situation; at night they hide in the people's homes and receive the care and support of the masses. Many people, as soon as they hear the arrival of the New Fourth Army, actively give up their houses to the New Fourth Army camp, send out guards for the New Fourth Army, and do everything possible to raise food and food for the New Fourth Army. Leaders such as Wang Xiangxiong carried out anti- "clearance of the countryside" and anti-counterfeit education to the masses wherever they went, helping them build the confidence that the Japanese army would lose and the war of resistance would win. Under the correct leadership of the county party committee and county government, under the scientific command of Wang Xiangxiong and others, more than 5,000 people were mobilized several times, and by July, the enemy s bamboo fence was burned for more than 170 miles.

One day between May and June, Wang Xiangxiong led more than 20 soldiers to camp in Xiaoyu Village, with only 10 families, south of Yancheng. In the morning the next day, he encountered a caffeine soldier who entered the village for more than one day to "sweep". The enemy conducted a condescending search from the south, and Wang Xiangxiong's troops were trapped by the enemy and could not be transferred. At this critical juncture, Wang Xiangxiong relied on the masses resolutely and directed the masses to stage an "empty city plan" to let families and families open their doors and tell everyone not to panic. To deal with the enemy calmly, Wang Xiangxiong gathered more than 20 soldiers to hide in the landlord Chen Lanying. In the inner kitchen of everyone, everyone wore a bayonet, opened the grenade cover, and prepared to fight the enemy. When they were concealed, more than 20 devils and puppet troops came into the village, and Bali wowled into the private house, and a group of devils entered Chen Lanying's house. Wang Xiangxiong could see the faces of the devils through the door gap, suggesting that the soldiers would hold Tight arms ready to squeeze. At this critical moment, Chen Lanying and other people greeted the devils with enthusiasm and enthusiastically, saying "Taijun, there is no New Fourth Army in my house!" And actively opened the room door for the devils to check and wait. When the devils touched Wang Xiangxiong's concealed house, several people opened chicken cages and duck cages to drive the chickens and ducks out, and deliberately enticed the devils to catch the chickens and ducks. The greedy devils ran out of the house to catch the chickens and ducks. The New Fourth Army turned danger into danger. After the devils left, Wang Xiangxiong led the soldiers to transfer safely.

Soon, Wang Xiangxiong led a row of soldiers and Wunan County short gun team to intersperse in the camp of Fujiaqiao Village at the junction of Zhengping and Nanzhai Township. The president of the village peasant association Guan Peirong and Zhuang Jiuyong reported that 13 Japanese troops stationed at Qiaoqiao and more than 20 "Qingxiang" policemen from the South House went to the countryside to "sweep" and passed the Huadu Bridge near here. Wang Xiangxiong seized this fighter and decided to choose an advantageous terrain to ambush the Japanese and Puppet Army. He personally led a whole row of soldiers to ambush in a bamboo garden to wait. When the Japanese puppet entered the ambush zone, Wang Xiangxiong ordered the machine guns, rifles, and grenades to fire at the same time, and launched an assault. The Japanese puppet troops were wiped out except for two ghosts, and more than 20 rifles were seized. This ambush battle was neat and neat. The New Fourth Army sacrificed only one soldier in the short-gun squad. Although it was a small battle, it had a great impact in the fight against "clearance of the countryside" in the Wunan area, and the Japanese and Puppet Army no longer dare to go to the countryside easily.

One day in mid-September, Wang Xiangxiong led a camp in Sangshu Village between Niutang Bridge and Hutang Bridge, and the people also reported that there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers coming to the countryside in civilian clothes. Wang Xiangxiong personally led the troops to ambush on the side of the road. When the Japanese entered the ambush circle, they fired fiercely, killed several devils on the spot, and captured the Japanese army, Okamoto, and the rest of the Japanese fled in the direction of Changzhou. The New Fourth Army did not have any casualties.

While carrying out the armed struggle against "qingxiang", Wang Xiangxiong also actively cooperated with local anti-Japanese organizations in carrying out political struggles, suppressing reactionaries and striving for middle forces. With the approval of his superiors, Chen Cheng, deputy head of Wunan County, used the gang activities in the areas along the south of Wunan to compete with the puppet army and the Kuomintang army for "apprentices" and "dry sons." The personnel, the township and the head of the army, won the centrists, united patriotic and anti-Japanese people from all walks of life, and promoted the struggle against "clearing the countryside."

From March 1943 to the fall of the "anti-clearance" struggle, a team led by Wang Xiangxiong grew from more than 20 to more than 70 people with the formation of a company. Fighting in Wunan and Xixi areas more than 20 times, 4 machine guns, 4 shell guns, more than 30 rifles were seized, 1 Japanese army was captured, more than 100 puppets were killed, and more than 30 spies were killed. The victory of the struggle against "qingxiang".

After the victory of the anti- "clearance" struggle in the Wunan area, the Kuomintang attempted to steal the fruits of the victory. The Bao Jiu Brigade sent Sun Zhihan to lead a regiment from Yixing to Wunan. Relying on its social and fake relations, it falsely called it "friendly" "Get along with each other" and "non-aggression against each other" under this guise, gradually squeezing the center of the New Fourth Army's anti-Japanese guerrilla zone in the center of Wunan, and then capturing the New Fourth Army's traffickers and local cadres, deliberately creating friction. The enemy and our two swords are out of control. A friction and anti-friction struggle is inevitable. For this reason, the Sixteenth Brigade of the New Fourth Army instructed Wang Xiangxiong to give a severe blow to the enemies who came. On February 9, 1944, Qian Dirong, the battalion leader of the battalion Sun Zhihan's subordinate battalion, led more than 150 soldiers to return to his hometown of Zhujiatou, Tongzhuang Township. After Wang Xiangxiong and Yang Hongcai got reports from local party members and army scouts, they led two companies of the Second Battalion, the company company of the Wunan County Guard, and the chief of the district Qian Mengwu led the short gun team and the Dingshe district brigade. From Li to Zhujiatou, surrounded the enemy on three sides. After 3 hours of fighting, except for the leader of the army camp, Qian Dianrong took a few guards to escape, and most of them were annihilated, and 5 machine guns and 70 rifles were seized. The New Fourth Army Sacrifice 1 vice platoon leader and 5 fighters. The victory of Zhujiatou's battle greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the anti-Japanese military and civilians. However, after the stubborn army Qian Dianrong's battalion was annihilated, its regiment Sun Zhihan was unwilling to fail. On the one hand, the army was prepared to find a decisive battle with Wang Xiangxiong. On the other hand, it further compromised with the Japanese army, swooping towards the center of Wunan, and capturing the place frantically. Cadres, the anti-Japanese masses, and the backbone of the local masses burned and plundered everywhere, threatening to "destroy the Second Independent Corps and take revenge for Qian Dianrong." In order to further combat the anti-Communist flames in Jintan County, reconnaissance officers were assigned by Jintan County to track the whereabouts of Sun Zhihan's Ministry. Wang Bicheng, head of the 16th Brigade of the New Fourth Army, and Jiang Weiqing decided to deploy a main battalion of the 48th Regiment to cooperate with the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Independent Infantry Regiment and the guards of Jintan County. The company annihilates the recalcitrant army. On February 19, Wang Xiangxiong was informed that Sun Zhihan was camping at Xiazhuang Bridge in Gaze and immediately commanded the troops to attack the rebels in three consecutive nights. Fighting overnight, until the end of the early morning battle, the two battalions of Sun Zhihan's battalion and Liu Menggen's battalion were wiped out, and more than 100 people including Captain Zhao Weimin were captured, 17 machine guns, 300 rifles, 40 short guns, and a large number of ammunition. And other military supplies.

In January 1945, Su Yu, a division commander of the New Fourth Army, led a division to the Taichangdi area and joined the 16th Brigade to form the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region. In February, the main force of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region marched toward Mogan Mountain and Tianri Mountain. The two independent regiments were ordered to participate in the battle. Wang Xiangxiong participated in the Tianmu Mountain battle. In mid-August, the Second Independence Regiment returned to the Taiyong area, and Wang Xiangxiong led a battalion to return to Wunan to perform the task of accepting the surrender of the puppet army, annihilating the puppet army in Yangshuyuan until the liberation of the entire Wunan region.

Under the direct leadership of the Taichung Prefectural Committee, Wang Xiangxiong led the Second Independence Regiment to fight the Japanese and Puppet Intractable Army in an extremely difficult and complicated environment, so that the Second Independence Regiment grew into a main force of more than 2,000 people. Made a great contribution. Wang Xiangxiong was calm and scientifically analyzed in the perilous situation of "the enemy is under siege." He broke through the envelopment of the enemy again and again, shattering the enemy's delusion of trying to destroy the independent two regiments. Since then, Wang Xiangxiong, an excellent commander known as the "Dwarf Battalion Commander", has been widely acclaimed in the Taiman area.

In August 1945, Japanese imperialists surrendered unconditionally, and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japan achieved a complete and complete victory. In October, the New Fourth Army was ordered to cross the Yangtze River north.
