In the Fifth Five-Year Conferral Title, the outstanding Father Zhou Shidi was awarded the rank of general. Speaking of Zhou Shidi, his qualifications are really amazing, during the Great Revolution, he did the position of the commander of the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the Fourth Army in the Northern Expeditionary Army, the 73rd Regiment, in fact, is General Ye's independent regiment, this army actually controlled by our party, there are countless revolutionary backbones, Zhou Shidi can take on the important responsibility of the regiment commander, which shows his high status. 
In fact, among the founding generals, there were as many as dozens of Zhou Shidi's subordinates, among them, five of the marshals and generals had been his subordinates, and there were a total of 20 marshals and generals, and five of them had been his subordinates, which shows how high Zhou Shidi's status was back then!So, among the marshals and generals, which five people have been Zhou Shidi's subordinates?
The first is Lin Shuai. During the Nanchang Uprising, Lin Shuai's position was the commander of a company of the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army, and the commander of the 73rd Regiment was the famous general Zhou Shidi of the Guangdong Army. After the Nanchang Uprising, Zhou Shidi was promoted to the commander of the 25th Division, Lin Shuai, as the company commander of his subordinates, followed Zhou Shidi all the way south, and finally after the fierce battle of Sanheba, Zhou Shidi left the team, and Lin Shuai stood out in the later war years and became one of the top ten marshals of the people's army. The second is Mr. Chen. After returning to China, Mr. Chen once engaged in military transportation work in the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army, and also served as a political instructor in the Wuhan branch of the Huangpu Military Academy, and was finally organizationally assigned to the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the Fourth Army to assist Zhou Shidi in military transportation work. 
During the Nanchang Uprising, Zhou Shidi was promoted to the commander of the 25th Division, and Mr. Chen did not participate in the first time because he had a task, and when the team went south, Mr. Chen caught up with the troops and was appointed as the political instructor of the 73rd Regiment and became a subordinate of Zhou Shidi. After the battle of Sanheba, Zhou Shidi left the team, Mr. Chen, together with Mr. Zhu and Wang Erzhuo, led the remnants of the Nanchang Uprising to fight bloodily, and finally successfully held a riot in southern Hunan, and successfully transferred to Jinggangshan. And his old boss Zhou Shidi, because he had the experience of leaving the team, was only awarded the rank of general. 
The third is General Tan Zheng. Tan Zheng, an intellectual, was once a classmate of Chen Geng, a famous general of our army. Tan Zheng later participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising as a clerk and grew up to be an outstanding political cadre in our army. However, before participating in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Tan Zheng served in the special service battalion of the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army as a clerk. When the guard regiment was formed, Tan Zheng, as an elite member, was taken to the guard regiment by Lu Deming, so that he could follow the chairman to participate in the Autumn Harvest Uprising in the future. Before entering the guard regiment, Tan Zheng served in the 73rd regiment, and the commander of the 73rd regiment was Zhou Shidi. When the title was conferred, as a former subordinate, Tan Zheng was awarded the rank of general, but Zhou Shidi was only awarded the rank of general. The fourth is General Chen Geng. During the Great Revolution, Chen Geng once served as a battalion commander in the special service battalion of the 73rd Regiment of the Fourth Army. Later, with the upsurge of the revolutionary situation, Lao Jiang was suspicious of the revolutionaries many times, and Chen Geng was forced to leave the spy camp and go to join Mr. He. During the Nanchang Uprising, Chen Geng participated in the uprising as the battalion commander of He Lao's headquarters. But retrospectively, he actually served as Zhou Shidi's subordinate. 
Chen Geng became the founding general of the people's army in the future by virtue of his outstanding military exploits, and his rank was higher than that of his former boss Zhou Shidi. The fifth place is General Xu Guangda. Xu Guangda, during the Great Revolution, served as a Xi platoon commander in the artillery battalion of the 75th Regiment of the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army, and during the Nanchang Uprising, the 75th Regiment and the 73rd Regiment held an uprising in Mahuiling together, and were combined into the 25th Division, with Zhou Shidi as the division commander, and Xu Guangda as the company commander of the 75th Regiment, officially becoming Zhou Shidi's subordinate. 
During the Liberation War, Zhou Shidi served as the commander and political commissar of the 18th Corps, and Xu Guangda served as the commander of the Second Corps. It can be seen that even during the Liberation War, Zhou Shidi's level has always been no lower than Xu Guangda. 
However, at the time of the award, Xu Guangda was serving as the commander of the armored corps, and in order to facilitate communication with the Soviet generals, Xu Guangda was awarded the rank of general, while Zhou Shidi was only awarded the rank of general. In fact, in the division of ranks in 1952, Xu Guangda and Zhou Shidi were both regular corps-level cadres, but Xu Guangda had experienced the four systems of the Hunan-Hubei Western Soviet Region, the Red Second Front Army, the 120th Division, and the First Field Army, which was of great significance, and he was the commander of the armored corps, so he was exceptionally awarded the rank of general, while Zhou Shidi was only awarded the rank of general, which is a bit low in terms of his seniority during the Great Revolution. To sum up, a total of two marshals and three generals have been subordinates of Zhou Shidi, which shows that Zhou Shidi had a high status during the Great Revolution. But because he had left the team, which affected his future rank, Zhou Shidi only became a general.
