Wang Yizhe was born in Binxian County, and graduated from the Eighth Military Division of Hebei Military Academy. He trained many military talents for the Northeast Army. At that time, Wang Yizhe was the captain of the corps guard. He suggested to Zhang Xueliang to train military talents and set up military education institutions. Zhang Xueliang adopted his suggestion and entrusted Wang Yizhe to handle the matter. With the efforts of Wang Yizhe, the seventh Beiping branch of Jiangwu Hall of Northeast Army was established, which added new strength to Zhang Xueliang's military service. In addition, he also paid special attention to military training, enhanced the combat capability of the army, established a strict military system, and rectified the bad atmosphere in the army. In a word, Wang Yizhe made great contributions to the military strength of the Northeast Army and trained many excellent military generals for Zhang Xueliang.
In fact, Wang Yizhe was not only an excellent general of the Northeast Army, but also a loyal member, and even gave his life for the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. At that time, in order to force Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng detained Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, which angered Chiang Kai-shek.
After the Xi Incident, Zhang Xueliang was detained on the way to send Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing. Wang Yizhe hoped to rescue Zhang Xueliang through negotiation, which led to Zhang Xueliang's murder. At that time, Sun Mingjiu, Ying Detian, Zhang and others opposed the peaceful rescue of Zhang Xueliang, hoping to save Zhang and Zhang peacefully and offended them. Yingdetian even thought that Zhang Xueliang should be responsible for the arrest.
