Wang Cheng, a native of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, 19 14 was born in Shanghai. His father is a small clerk, with five brothers and sisters and a poor family. 1932, after graduating from high school, Wang Cheng joined the anti-Japanese and national salvation activities. 1937 participated in military air defense training. In the same year, he was sent by Jiangsu Province to work at the air defense surveillance post in jiulong town, Qidong. 1in the spring of 938, the Japanese invaders ravaged Qidong. Seeing the tragic situation, Wang Cheng angrily left his post and joined the anti-Japanese volunteers organized by Qudu. At the beginning of 1939, the * * * die-hards plotted to kill the volunteers. At a critical juncture, Wang Cheng and Yao Li led two squadrons to Yan Xiuwu, the fifth detachment of the second vertical of the guerrilla headquarters in the Shandong-Jiangsu-Anhui border region, with Wang Cheng as the captain of the fourth brigade. Soon * * * Jiangbei Special Committee, Subei Special Committee and the Advance Column of the New Fourth Army sent Zheng, Zhou Wenzhai and Bao Zhichun to work in the Second Longitudinal Army. Wang Cheng sincerely welcomes and actively cooperates with Zhu Qun and others to teach and sing anti-Japanese songs in his own brigade and carry out party activities in Wei Min. At that time, the Fourth Battalion was stationed in Yiling, Zhuanqiao and Zita River, adjacent to the resident bridge of the New Fourth Army's forward column. With the support of the underground party. In the name of purchasing materials, he organized class leaders and soldiers' representatives to visit the resident bridge of the New Fourth Army. Wang Cheng was educated and inspired by the New Fourth Army's military discipline, the relationship between officers and soldiers, and the relationship between the army and the people. After returning to the team, he became closer to the comrades of the underground party and borrowed revolutionary books and periodicals from them to report his thoughts. Party organizations made a serious investigation on him and approved him to join China with 1939. 1940 February, the general branch of the underground party was established, the general branch of the four brigades was established, and Wang Cheng was elected as the general branch member of the branch. Since then, Wang Cheng has been more strict with himself, studying and practicing Comrade * * * *' s theory of army building, which has enabled this army to maintain good military discipline in a complex environment.

Yan Xiuwu heard the wind that the Fourth Brigade had too much contact with the New Fourth Army, and transferred Wang Cheng to Taizhou City and then to Xinghua. Soon, Wang Cheng was ordered to lead his troops from the old pavilion in Xinghua to the port. One day at the end of June, Chen Dongsheng, the detachment leader of the Fifth Team, invited officers above the mid-team leader in the name of a banquet. During the dinner, Chen Dongsheng and his gang were nervous and hurtful, framing the New Fourth Army for not resisting Japan and fighting a civil war. Wang Chengcheng had a well-thought-out plan, and Kan Kan said, "We have always supported the commander's resistance to Japan, and no one will agree to anyone who sabotages it! Whoever fights the anti-Japanese troops will resolutely oppose it! " Chen Dongsheng was speechless. After Wang Cheng and others came back from dinner, they decided to hold an anti-friction revolutionary riot overnight in order to disintegrate the die-hards. Wang Cheng led his troops to detain all personnel below the captain of the fifth detachment and disarm the heavy machine gun company and the local security team. Then, troops non-stop into the artillery Guo Cun, into the new fourth army in a column to counter the diehard attack * * *. In the Battle of Guocun, Wang Cheng led the troops to take on the task of blocking the enemy and played an important role in the victory of Guocun's defense war. After the battle, Wang Cheng and the officers and men of the whole brigade were cordially received and praised by Chen Yi and other leaders. Then, the troops were reorganized into a vertical and five regiments of the Northern Jiangsu Command of the New Fourth Army, with Wang as the head.

1940 10 After Wang Cheng led his troops to participate in the decisive battle of Huangqiao, the troops were reorganized into three vertical and five regiments and marched with three columns. 165438+ 10, the standing group of Chongqihai led by Wang Cheng and Li Mao joined forces in Jiangjia Town, Haimen County. These two units were all affiliated to the guerrilla headquarters in fourth area, Soviet area, and were reorganized into the guerrilla third brigade, with Li Mao as the brigade commander and Wang Cheng as the deputy brigade commander and the head of the fifth regiment. In February of 65438+ of the same year, Wang Cheng was transferred to lead a delegation to dig a harbor for garrison. 26, * * * guerrilla commander of the sixth column Xu Chengde assemble heavily, siege. Wang Cheng and Li Mao's vanguard troops and the left-behind troops of the New Fourth Army fought fiercely with Xu Chengde's troops for three days and three nights. Then, he led the troops and the New Fourth Army's three vertical and seven regiments to pursue Xu Chengde's stubborn enemy in the starry night, catch up with Qidong Lianzhen and drive Xu into the sea.

194 1 year 1 month, Wang Chengtuan was changed to the New Fourth Army 1 Division 3 Brigade 8 Regiment. After the Battle of Hong Kong, Wang Cheng led his troops to carry out the pro-democracy movement work in Wuxu Township, Qidong County, and the tenant farmers near the residence were bankrupt because of the heavy rent and exploitation of the big landlords. Wang Cheng said to the tenant farmer's representative, "Heaven and earth have changed. Today, with the support of the New Fourth Army and the anti-Japanese democracy, you can boldly sue! " Anti-Japanese democracy quickly accepted the case. In the people's court, the poor peasants sued the big landlords, and people rushed to tell each other: "I didn't expect this white-faced scholar to be the head of the team and devote himself to us poor people!" "This is our own * * *!" "Go, be the New Fourth Army!" As a result, the construction of base areas has developed rapidly by reducing rents and interest rates and joining the army to expand the army.

1in the spring of 942, Wang Cheng went to study at Suzhong Party School. At the beginning of 1943, Wang Cheng was appointed as the head of the Southeast Guard Corps. At that time, it was time for the Japanese puppet troops to plan "clearing the countryside" in northern Jiangsu. Facing the worried Japanese puppet troops, Wang Cheng and Hongze, secretary of the county party committee, focused their work on mobilizing the masses and strengthening local armed construction. Some of the guards were transferred to the outer lines to fight, some were sent to strengthen the district teams, and some class cadres returned to their hometowns to start work and became the backbone of the rural militia. Wang Cheng also specially selected 18 classes and platoon cadres with high military and political quality to form a martial arts team, and opened up new areas in the heart of the enemy, the Third Factory and Qinglong Port. In this way, he personally established an armed system combining county regiments, district teams and rural guerrillas, and insisted on armed struggle in the enemy's "Qing Xiang" circle. 1In September, 943, Wang Cheng issued an order in the name of the Southeast People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps to launch guerrilla movements throughout the county. In half a month's time, Wang Cheng commanded more than 2,800 district teams and militiamen in the county, surrounded enemy strongholds 10, and fought 8 times1time, thus forming a massive "anti-Qing township" struggle. Wang Cheng is good at grasping fighter planes and winning strategic initiative in commanding operations.

1944 After the summer offensive began, according to the geographical position of Shuhe Town and the protection of the puppet troops, it was decided to attack the stronghold of Shuhe Town, putting the enemy in a strategic passive position. He personally commanded the troops to use a combination of political offensive and military offensive to force the enemy to withdraw from the stronghold, and then launched an autumn offensive to uproot the 12 enemy and puppet stronghold. In the unpredictable situation of war, Wang Cheng can often save the day. On one occasion, the troops were surrounded by the enemy near the collapsed nose shop in Zhong Yi town. In the battle, Wang Cheng was injured in his right arm, but he kept a straight face and continued to command the troops to break through. When the troops moved safely to Hainan, they met the enemy again. With the cooperation of the militia, Wang Cheng sent four combat teams to create a "maze" to make the enemy lose his mind and retreat hastily. At the beginning of 1944, Wang Cheng was still the director of the Southeast Administrative Office. After winning the trust of the party and the people, he worked harder. Wherever the regimental headquarters and the party and government organs are transferred, he will investigate and understand the work of the district team and militia. On weekdays, he seized every opportunity to make friends with people of insight from all walks of life and attached importance to their positive role.

Wang Cheng loves soldiers like brothers. Usually care about soldiers politically and in life. When marching, he took special care of his sick comrades, helped them carry guns and backpacks, and sometimes gave them horses to ride. When the troops were resting, he took time to teach everyone to sing and play games, mingle with the soldiers, drive away fatigue with singing and laughter, and inspire fighting spirit. Whenever a comrade-in-arms dies, he always handles the aftermath himself. In order to make the soldiers bleed as little as possible in wartime, destroy the enemy and save themselves, he pays more attention to training on weekdays. According to the operational characteristics of the water network area, he asked every soldier to learn two skills: swimming and punting.

On the morning of February 26th, 1944, 19, the regimental headquarters, the county party committee and the administrative office were stationed in the town. As the radio station was discovered by the enemy, the Japanese and puppet troops attacked our radio station in three ways. When Wang Cheng and political commissar Bao Zhichun inspected the enemy's situation in the field, they were unfortunately hit by the enemy and sacrificed at the same time. They were only 30 years old at that time. In order to commemorate these two martyrs, the people of Qihai named the areas and towns where they died as Wangbao District and Wangbao Township.
