Not inferior to the marshal's qualifications and military merits in terms of party age, Chen Geng joined the party in November 1922, and only Mr. Zhu was one month earlier than him among the top ten marshals, and he was also the party introducer of Zuo Quan, deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army. Born in a professional class, Chen Geng graduated from the first phase of Huangpu, and was called the "Three Masters of Huangpu" along with Jiang Xianyun and He Jinhan, and most of the generals in the Huangpu Department had to call him a senior. In terms of military qualifications, Chen Geng joined the Hunan Army in 1916, the same year as Mr. Peng. From the Eastern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Uprising to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, one is even rarer in the army. From the Long March period, to the Liberation War to lead the Corps to take charge of the Army, to resist US aggression and aid Korea as the acting commander of the Volunteer Army, Chen Geng's department has always been the trump card in the army. In terms of representativeness, Chen Geng was in the red during the Red Army period.
1. The Red Fourth Front Army had served in both fronts, and later became the number one general of the Second Field Army. 
Chen Geng's qualifications and military merits, even if they are placed among marshals, will not be too inferior. And even in some respects, a cut above the marshals. But why is such a legendary general, in the 1955 award, he was only rated as a general, and he was also ranked 4th after Su Yu, Xu Haidong, and Huang Kecheng. You must know that when Chen Geng was the commander of the Red Twelfth Division, Xu Haidong was only a regiment commander under him. 
In the 5 years of the hidden front, the disappeared Chen Geng, the famous Chen Geng is a very rare all-rounder, and it can even be said that he is a more real "Yan Shuangying". On August 2, 1925, Mr. Liao Zhongkai was assassinated, and Chen Geng, who was still a student of the Whampoa Military Academy, participated in the investigation of the case under the direct leadership of Zhou Lao. It was also in this incident that Chen Geng fully demonstrated his unique talent and ability on the special front. 
In 1926, Chen Geng went to the Soviet Union to study, returned to China a year later, participated in the Nanchang Uprising in the same year, and served as a battalion commander in the 2nd Army. But later in the Battle of Huichang, Chen Geng was unfortunately wounded and sent to Shanghai**. It was also during this period that Chen Geng's name temporarily disappeared, and there was another person named Wang Yong in the world. 
At 23 o'clock in the evening of November 11, 1929, the special red team, under the leadership of captain Wang Yong, killed Bai Xin, a traitor who betrayed Peng Pai, causing a sensation throughout Shanghai. During the five years from 1928 to 1932, the Shanghai Garrison Command, the patrol houses of various concessions, and even the small leaders of the gangs were all terrified when they heard Wang Yong's name. No one knows who this Wang Yong is, but he is like a chivalrous man in martial arts, punishing adultery and eliminating evil, and he is haunted. 
In 1933, because of the betrayal of a traitor, he was unfortunately ** in Shanghai, and then sent to Nanchang. And when Chiang Kai-shek saw the famous Mr. Wang Yong, he just smiled helplessly, "Chen Geng, you have lost weight." Because he remembered that Chen Geng had saved his life during the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek told his subordinates that Chen Geng must surrender. And this extraordinary "Chen Daxia", with the assistance of many parties, "escaped from prison" unscathed. In October 1934, he followed the Red Army's Long March and began his military career again. The more generals, the better, but Chen Geng has only one If Chen Geng has stayed in the army and has not gone to the special science front, with his qualifications and ability, he will undoubtedly become the military commander in charge sooner, and the chance of becoming a marshal will be greater. But in the 5 years of the hidden front, although it "delayed" a possible Chen Shuai, it created a legendary Chen Geng. 
Chen Geng is the only one who can make great contributions on both the frontal battlefield and the "back" battlefield. His exploits belong to the most special one among the founding generals, the more generals can be, the better, but Chen Geng only produced one. The military rank is just a compliment, but the meritorious service will be remembered forever, and for Chen Geng, he has no regrets.
