In the autumn of 1955, our army held the first large-scale award of titles in history to commend the generals who had made great contributions to the Chinese revolution and the founding of New China. However, there were three special generals who did not participate in the war of liberation, but were awarded the rank of general, general and major general. Why is there such a difference?
Xu Haidong, a native of Dawu County, Hubei Province, was born in 1900, and his poor family did not stop him from joining the revolution. Xu Haidong joined the National Revolutionary Army in his early years and participated in the Northern Expedition. But after the defeat of the Revolution, he returned to his hometown to organize the peasant self-defense army and participate in the Jute Uprising. In guerrilla warfare, his bravery attracted attention and eventually joined the ranks of the Red Army.
In the Red Army, Xu Haidong rose to prominence, became the commander of the Red 27th Division, and persisted in the armed struggle in the Dabie Mountains to relieve pressure on other Soviet areas. During the Long March, he led the Red 25th Army and created a miracle of "no attrition, no base area". After the establishment of the Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base in northern Shaanxi, Xu Haidong became the commander of the Red 15th Army Corps and provided valuable support for the Red Army.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Xu Haidong showed great support and trust, and even borrowed money from the ** Red Army during difficult times. His performance moved him very much and praised him for "making great contributions to the Chinese revolution". However, due to the aggravation of his illness, Xu Haidong missed the Liberation War, but in 1955, he was awarded the rank of general, ranking second among the top ten generals.
Zhang Aiping, a native of Daxian County, Sichuan, was born in 1910. He embraced progressive ideas in middle school and joined the revolution at the age of 16. In the Red Army, he participated in a number of battles, becoming the commissar of the 11th and 13th regiments of the 3rd Army Corps of the Red Army. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he held important positions in the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the anti-Japanese base area in northern Jiangsu.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Aiping served in the Central China Military Region, personally commanded the joint operations of the army, navy and air force, and successfully liberated a Jiangshan Island. Despite his absence from the Liberation War, his qualifications and exploits earned him the rank of general in 1955.
Tang Duo, a native of Yiyang, Hunan, was born in 1904. He began to study at a young age, went to France at the age of 15 to work and study, and later joined the Red Army. During his studies in the Soviet Xi Union, he became a mechanical engineer, received the rank of major in the Soviet Army, participated in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, and performed heroically.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tang Duo returned to China and served as the director of the Air Force Engineering Department. Despite not participating in the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army and the People's Liberation Army, his experience in the Red Army of the USSR and his outstanding performance in the Great Patriotic War of the USSR led him to the rank of Major General in 1955.
The reason why these three generals received different military ranks in the 1955 Grand Conferral was mainly based on their seniority, position, and military exploits in the course of the revolution. Xu Haidong's many performances in the Red Army, especially the miracles he created during the Long March, earned him the rank of general. Zhang Aiping's important contributions to the establishment of the anti-Japanese base area and the Anti-Japanese War made him a general. And Tang Duo's performance in the Soviet Red Army, as well as his heroic deeds in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, earned him the rank of major general.
The fate of these three generals was intertwined in the course of the Chinese revolution, and although they did not directly participate in the War of Liberation, their heroic performance on different battlefields and their contributions to the revolutionary cause enabled them to receive the honor they deserved after the founding of New China. The Great Conferral in 1955 was a tribute to these heroes, and it was the immortal legend of this revolutionary history that was remembered.
This article details three generals who made great achievements in the course of the Chinese revolution, and although they did not directly participate in the Liberation War, they were awarded the rank of general, general, and major general in the great awards after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which aroused people's curiosity about the mystery of this military rank. The explanation for this is mainly based on the seniority, position, and military exploits of these three generals in the course of the revolution.
First of all, as a member of the Red Army, Xu Haidong created amazing miracles during the Long March, led the Red 25th Army to maintain a record of unreduced personnel throughout the whole process, and even established the Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base on the way, which played a pivotal role in the Red Army's Long March. His failure to participate in the war of liberation was mainly due to illness that prevented him from personally participating in the battlefield. However, his tenacity and determination during the Anti-Japanese War and the Long March led him to the rank of general in the Great Conferral Awards, which fully demonstrated his outstanding contribution to the Chinese revolution.
Secondly, Zhang Aiping, as an important general during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, played a key role in the establishment of the anti-Japanese base area in northern Jiangsu. Although he returned to China at the end of the Liberation War, his position in the Central China Military Region and his command performance in the liberation battle on Yijiangshan Island earned him the rank of general. This also shows that for the heroes of that era, their contributions on different battlefields were fully considered and reflected in the Grand Awards.
Finally, although Tang Duo did not participate in the War of Liberation, his experience in the Soviet Red Army and his heroic deeds in the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union earned him the rank of major general. This decision took into account not only his outstanding performance in the Soviet Red Army, but also his position and contribution to the Kazakh military industry. Tang Duo's experience shows the figure of the Chinese revolutionary heroes on the international stage and makes important contributions to the world anti-fascist war.
The article vividly depicts the heroic deeds of these three generals in the course of the Chinese revolution, but also raises a thought-provoking question: why did they differ so much in rank when they were not directly involved in the war of liberation?This may be a historical mystery that deserves our in-depth excavation and consideration.
Overall, the stories of these three generals are not only an important part of China's revolutionary history, but also a model for contemporary people to learn Xi and inherit the heroic spirit. Through this article, readers have a deeper understanding of the deeds of these heroes, and they also have more respect for the loyalty, bravery and sacrifice of the Chinese people. I hope that we can draw strength from these heroes and contribute to the prosperity and peace of our country.
