In February 1949, the main forces of our army were reorganized and 16 corps were formed. This played a key role in the later stages of the War of Liberation, especially in the strategic pursuit stage, such as the liberation of the northwest, the liberation of the southwest, the liberation of central China, and the liberation of southern China. The success of these important battles was inseparable from the tasks completed by the 16 main corps.
The commanders of these main corps, in 1955, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, were awarded high military ranks. Among them, Xu Guangda, commander of the Second Corps, Chen Geng, commander of the Fourth Corps, and Xiao Jinguang, commander of the 12th Corps, are the three generals with the highest military ranks, and they were awarded the rank of general.
Friends who know history know that the military ranks of these three generals are not only a recognition of their heroic battles, but also a praise for their outstanding performance on the battlefield. Most of the other 13 corps commanders were awarded the rank of general. However, the situation of Cheng Zihua, commander of the 13th Corps, was a bit special, he transferred to local work after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was not awarded a military rank, becoming the only corps commander without a military rank.
Looking at the military ranks conferred by the commanders of these 16 main corps, most of them are generals, and only a very few (Xu, Chen, Xiao) have been awarded the rank of general because of their outstanding achievements and qualifications. According to the 1955 evaluation criteria, the award of the rank of general to a general at the rank of corps commander is a proper reflection of their military achievements.
At the same time, as a general with the rank of commander under the Corps, most of them were awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955. A small number of army commanders with outstanding military achievements, such as Han Xianchu, Liu Zhen, Huang Yongsheng, He Bingyan and other main ace commanders, enjoy the honor of the rank of general.
However, not all generals with the rank of corps commander received the rank of lieutenant general. Some army commanders were awarded the rank of major general, while the commander of the 16th Army, Yoon Xianbing, had the rank of colonel. This difference reflects their different contributions and performances in the war of liberation.
What is even more peculiar is that there is a corps under the jurisdiction of four commanders, all of whom were awarded the rank of major general and lieutenant general in 1955. Such a phenomenon was not common during the liberation period, especially for the corps with four corps.
Taking the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Corps under the jurisdiction of the Third Field Army as examples, among the four commanders under the jurisdiction of the three corps, Wu Huawen, Zhang Kexia, and He Jifeng were not awarded military ranks. This is unique among the 16 main corps and shows the peculiarities between the different corps.
In addition to the first. VII.
The Eighth and Ninth Corps, as well as the Tenth Corps, also had the establishment of four corps. The 10th Corps was commanded by the famous general Ye Fei, and in the early days of its establishment, it had three armies under its command, which were commanded by Zhu Shaoqing, Hu Bingyun, and Zhou Zhijian. However, in the battle to liberate Fujian in the southeast, the higher authorities transferred the 32nd Army to the 10th Corps, giving it four corps.
Coincidentally, all four commanders of the 10th Corps were awarded military ranks in 1955. Zhu Shaoqing and Hu Bingyun received the rank of major general, while Zhou Zhijian and Tan Xilin, commander of the 32nd Army, received the rank of lieutenant general. This alternation of the ranks of major general and lieutenant general is not common among the 16 corps, highlighting the unique establishment and combat contribution of the 10th Corps.
Overall, these generals performed well in the war of liberation, and their military ranks were awarded both in recognition of their individual heroism and in recognition of the outstanding contributions of the entire unit. Their achievements and honors constitute a historical chapter in the heroic battle of the squadron and have made great contributions to the cause of the country's liberation.
