On the rivers and lakes, forget each other in the world.
In May 1940, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was divided into nine brigades, each of which was named after the word "new".
The qualifications of these nine brigade commanders varied, three of them died in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression when they were awarded the rank in 1955, two were awarded the title of founding general, the other two were awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and the other two were awarded the rank of colonel, which is particularly special.
Yi Liangpin, Gui Gansheng and Fan Zixia were three young brigade commanders who died young.
Yi Liangpin, the commander of the new 7th Brigade, was the commander of the 4th Army Corps of the Red Army and the commander of the 31st Army of the Red Army. During the Anti-Japanese War, he successively served as the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, and later became the brigade commander of the new 7th Brigade and the commander of the 6th Army Division in southern Hebei. In March 1943, he was martyred in Zaoqiang, Hebei Province, at the age of 33.
Gui Gansheng, who was the commander of the New 9th Brigade, served as the political commissar of the regiment and the 91st Division of the Red Army during the Red Army.
After joining the Eighth Route Army, Gui Gansheng held a number of important positions, including senior staff officer of the 129th Division, commander of the guerrilla detachment of the 129th Division, commander of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan 2nd Division, commander of the new 9th Brigade, and commander of the 4th and 1st divisions of southern Hebei. Unfortunately, he died when he was transferred to the New Fourth Army in June 1945 at the age of 34.
Fan Zixia, the brigade commander of the new 10th Brigade, studied at the Northeast Army Camp School and served as the commander of the Northeast Army.
Fan Zixia was dissatisfied with the policy, so he resigned angrily and joined the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army, taking the position of regiment commander. With the outbreak of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he organized the 2nd Jicha Guerrilla Division, which was later reorganized into the Pinghan Guerrilla Column of the 129th Division in June 1939 and incorporated into the Eighth Route Army.
In February 1942, the then 34-year-old Fan Zixia died heroically in the encounter with the Japanese army in Shahe.
Yang Dezhi and Han Xianchu were respectively awarded the honorary title of Founding General in 1955.
Yang Dezhi is the brigade commander of the New 2nd Brigade, he served as the commander of the Red 1st Regiment during the Red Army, and the commander of the 685th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division during the Anti-Japanese War.
Yang Dezhi was known as the "lucky general", after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he led the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu 1st column to the northeast, but because Shanhaiguan was cut off by the enemy, he had to stay in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region to continue fighting. A year later, the 1st Column returned to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, but Yang Dezhi was left behind.
In the early days of liberation, Fu Zuoyi and Ma Jiajun jointly defeated the Jin-Cha-Ji and Jin-Sui coalition forces, resulting in the loss of face for Mr. He and Mr. He. Then, Mr. Zhu, who was sent by the chairman to North China for "guidance", conducted investigation and research, and finally appointed Yang Dezhi and Yang Chengwu as commanders of the Corps, successfully reversing the unfavorable situation in North China.
Yang Dezhi served as the commander of the 19th Corps during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was promoted to general in 1955.
During peacetime, Yang Dezhi successively served as commander of the Jinan Military Region, the Wuhan Military Region, and the Kunming Military Region, for a total of 25 years. At the beginning of the Vietnam War, Yang Dezhi, who was 68 years old, was entrusted by Deng Gong to be ordered to succeed Wang Bicheng in commanding the operation in the direction of Yunnan on the Western Front, and launched a counterattack against Vietnam with Zhang Gongxiu.
Yang Dezhi is the head of the famous "Three Yang Kaitai" in the army, and his achievements are also the most outstanding among the three.
He was the battalion commander of the Red 25th Army, and also served as the deputy commander of the Red 78th Division during the Red Army.
The Red 25th Army had a well-known "general squad", the squad leader Chen Xianrui was promoted to lieutenant general after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and two of his soldiers, Han Xianchu and Liu Zhen, both became founding generals. During the Anti-Japanese War, Han Xianchu served as the deputy commander of the 688th Regiment of the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division and the commander of the 689th Regiment.
In the spring of 1940, in order to circumvent the restrictions on "establishment", the 129th Division disguised itself as a "new" brand. Interestingly, Han Xianchu served as the commander of the new 3rd Brigade for a few months, and then he was transferred to the 115th Division as the brigade commander of the 7th Brigade, and jumped from the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Military Region to the Shandong base area at once.
However, during the Anti-Japanese War, although Han Xianchu showed his edge and made many military exploits under the leadership of Mr. Lin, Chen Guanghe, he still played the role of "supporting role" and "partial teacher" most of the time, and did not fully exert his true strength.
Han Xianchu really became famous in the Northeast Battlefield after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. He performed well during his tenure as deputy commander of the 4th Column, and formed the 3rd Column "Whirlwind Force", which demonstrated the national prestige on the 38th Parallel, so he was praised by the US military as "the best front-line commander".
In 1955, Han Xianchu was promoted to general. In peacetime, he served as commander of the Fuzhou Military Region and the Lanzhou Military Region for 23 years, and made important contributions to containing the enemy in the southeast and the great northern power with a million-strong army stationed in the great northwest region.
Wei Jie, the commander of the new 1st Brigade who had participated in the Baise Uprising, was later sent to the Soviet zone and joined the Red Third Army.
During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the head of the Special Service Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and later became the head of the 344th Brigade 688th Regiment. During the War of Liberation, he followed Liu Deng, Mr. Peng and Mr. He to fight in the north and south, and participated in the fifth campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea. After the defeat of the 60th Division of the 180th Army led by Wei Jie, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
Xu Shenji, the commander of the New 4th Brigade, participated in the Jute Uprising and was the commander of the Red 91st Division during the Red Army.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Shenji served as the commander of the 771st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, he was attacked by the Japanese army at the stone gate on the side of Niangzi Pass, resulting in the loss of more than 30 people. Because this negligent battle was criticized by the chairman as a typical example of "arrogant soldiers will be defeated", the division commander *** also conducted a review.
After the establishment of the new 4th Brigade, it was engaged in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments. At the beginning of 1941, Xu Shenji led the brigade south to aid the New Fourth Army, but due to the sudden Southern Anhui Incident, he was forced to stay in place in the Luxi area. Therefore, Xu Shenji missed the perfect opportunity to show his talents in the New Fourth Army like Huang Kecheng, Liu Zhen and others.
Xu Shenji was appointed commander of the Southern Hebei Military Region during the liberation period and participated in the Liberation War.
However, Xu Shenji's misfortune did not end there: in 1948, when our army was transferred to the big **, due to overwork, he was transferred from the front line and went to the rear of the North China Military Region to serve as a deputy chief of staff who was not very important after the merger of Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and Jinchaji.
Xu Shenji was promoted to lieutenant general in 1955, which was a great blessing in misfortune.
Wei Han Zhang. Two of these nine brigade commanders were promoted to colonels, which is exactly what "every family has a scripture that is difficult to read."
Zhang Weihan, who once served as the commander of the 10th Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment and the commander of the 2nd Column of the 6th District of Shandong, has now become the brigade commander of the new 8th Brigade.
After Fan Zhuxian was martyred in Liaocheng, Zhang Weihan was the commissioner of the sixth district of Shandong. The new 8th Brigade was formed by the combination of Zhang Weihan's Zhuxian Column and Li Jukui's 129th Division's Advance Column, with Zhang Weihan as the brigade commander and Li Jukui as the political commissar. Although Li Jukui received the rank of general, Zhang Weihan was only a colonel.
The rank of colonel was awarded to the chief officer, while the partner was awarded the rank of general, and this rank gap may be the largest pair.
In 1955, Zhang Weihan was only awarded the rank of colonel, although considering his position and contributions to the Anti-Japanese War, he could be promoted to major general or even lieutenant general.
On the one hand, Zhang Weihan participated in the revolution relatively late, and in his early years, he studied at the 16th Mixed Brigade Children's School founded by Feng Yuxiang. In 1936, he became acquainted with Fan Zhuxian, and the following year he joined the organization through the introduction of his classmate Peng Xuefeng, which is in line with the typical situation of participating in the revolution after 1937.
Another glorious moment for Zhang Weihan was in the first three years of the war, when he and General Fan Zhuxian reorganized the armed forces of 60,000 and established anti-Japanese regimes in 29 county-level areas. In 1939, Zhang Weihan led more than 10,000 people to join the Eighth Route Army and served as the commander of the new 8th Brigade.
Third, Zhang Weihan performed well in the Anti-Japanese War, but was later investigated because of his family background, which made him unfortunately seriously ill when he was preparing to re-lead the army. In the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the 9th Division of Shanxi, Hebei, Shanxi and Henan.
Zhang Weihan basically did not adjust his rank during the Liberation War, and until the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he still held the post of commander of the Handan Military Division.
After the baptism of the Liberation War, Yang Dezhi, Han Xianchu, Li Jukui and other old comrades-in-arms have become senior generals who are in charge of their own affairs. In 1952, Zhang Weihan was examined again for problems related to his second brother, and was eventually awarded only the rank of colonel, although he originally enjoyed higher honors.
Yin Xianbing. Yin Xianbing, the brigade commander of the New 11th Brigade, served as the chief of staff of the regiment during the Red Army, and during the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the chief of staff and regiment commander of the special service regiment of the headquarters and the deputy commander of the guerrilla in western Hebei, and later became the commander of the Taihang 1st Division of the Eighth Route Army. During the liberation period, he served as the brigade commander and deputy commander of the 1st Vertical and 2nd Brigade of Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu, and Henan, and was also the commander of the 16th Army of Erye.
Yin Xianbing led the 16th Army, the first synthetic army of our army, to participate in the war during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which greatly surprised the US military.
In 1955, nine of the 10 military commanders in Nino were awarded the title of founding lieutenant general. If you add Liu Jinxuan, the commander of the 19th Army, and Kong Qingde, the commander of the 58th Army, who were once attached to Erye, then a total of 11 army commanders in Erye have been awarded the title of founding lieutenant general, and only one 16th Army commander, Yin Xianbing, has been awarded the rank of colonel.
The reason why Yin Xianbing was appointed to a high position and Zhang Weihan was assigned to a low position was different from their "family background" and was entirely due to "personal problems".
