The Northeast Field Army has dozens of main columns, but when it comes to the column with the strongest combat effectiveness, different people will have different opinions.
The first column led by Li Tianyou, the third column led by Han Xianchu, and the sixth column led by Huang Yongsheng can all be called ace columns.
However, who has the fastest promotion and the most brilliant achievements of the commissar of the column?Undoubtedly, the answer is the seventh column.
Before it was officially reorganized into the Seventh Column of the Northeast Field Army in August 1947, the column was known as the Liaoji Column.
The commander of the column, Deng Hua, came from Chenxian County, Hunan Province and had a prominent reputation.
Why is he the fastest to be promoted?In 1949, when the serial numbers of the four major field armies were formally established, among the column commanders of the Northeast Field Army, only Deng Hua was promoted to the commander of the corps.
In contrast, Li Tianyou, Han Xianchu, Hong Xuezhi and Huang Yongsheng were all deputy commanders of the Corps at the time.
Although Huang Yongsheng later became the commander of the Corps, he was later than Deng Hua.
Therefore, Deng Hua was the first person among all the column commanders of the Northeast Field Army to be promoted to corps commander, and it can be said that his promotion speed was the fastest.
In 1954, Deng Hua succeeded as the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army, and became the first and only one of all the column commanders of the Northeast Field Army to serve as the top leader of the Volunteer Army.
At the same time, Deng Hua was appointed deputy chief of the General Staff, and was the first of all the column commanders of the Northeast Field Army to enter the General Staff, and only Han Xianchu could be compared with him.
In 1955, Deng Hua served as the commander of the Shenyang Military Region, becoming the first person to serve as the commander of the large military region among all the column commanders of the Northeast Field Army, and only Huang Yongsheng could match him.
Therefore, it can be said that Deng Hua was the fastest promoted person among the commanders of the Northeast Field Army columns.
The Seventh Column was full of talents, and its political commissar Tao Zhu, although he did not have a military rank at first, was later promoted to the rank of Zhengguo and became the most accomplished figure among all the political commissars of the column.
Tao Zhu, from Qiyang, Hunan, fought with Deng Hua in the Liaoji Military Region after going to the Northeast in 1946, and also served as the secretary of the Liaoji Provincial Party Committee.
The front line needs to fight, the rear needs to be built, Tao Zhu has devoted a lot of effort to the construction of the base area and the distribution of land reform, working day and night, and even caused lung disease**, a large number of **, but still refuses to rest.
Rewrite: Considering the needs of the organization, someone proposed that Zeng Zhi's wife take care of him, but Tao Zhu resolutely refused.
He believes that the development of the new area needs cadres like Zeng Zhi who have rich experience in the struggle.
Therefore, Zeng Zhi has been engaged in the struggle against the enemy in the marginal areas.
Tao Zhu was not only a political general with a high degree of literary accomplishment, but also had poetic feelings in a difficult struggle environment.
Once, he recited a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Jin Changxu: "Fight the yellow warbler, and the Mojiao branch cries."
When crying, the concubine dreamed, and did not get Liaoxi.
Tao Zhu said proudly: "Who said that you can't get Liaoxi?"We're still in the west of Liaoxi!In 1947, Deng Hua led his troops to participate in the Siping Battle, and in the smoke of the war, he suddenly found that several people were crawling in front of the position.
The guards guided them over, but were surprised to find that it was Tao Zhu and others.
Deng Hua was very surprised and asked, "Why are you risking your life here?"Tao Zhu replied indifferently: "Your secrecy work is quite good, I inquired about the location of the command post all the way, although I was always told that I was in the front, but I was not told the specific location, and almost let us go to the enemy's position."
Tao Zhu then pointed at Deng Hua and said, "You look like a command post here, the enemy is right under your nose, it's really unsafe."
Deng Hua said with great emotion: "Alas, our political commissar Tao, you came to visit us at the risk of enemy artillery fire, and you put your own safety at risk, and you are still worried about us.
Tao Zhu continued: "If you are not moved, you will be born in the south, and it will be difficult to migrate, and you will be more ambitious.
How can I put your lives at risk at this critical moment of life and death?This is the revolutionary sentiment of the Communists!The adventurous behavior of Commissar Tao inspired the officers and men of the Seventh Column and stimulated their fighting spirit, and finally captured the position in one fell swoop, and our army captured Chen Mingren's younger brother Chen Mingxin, but unfortunately failed to capture Siping.
In 1949, the Fourth Field Army was established, Deng Hua became the commander of the Corps, and Tao Zhu was promoted to deputy director of the Political Department of the Field Army and became Tan Zheng's deputy.
The Siye Army went south, and Tao Zhu served as the director of the Political Department of the Central South Military Region and the fourth secretary of the South China Branch.
In 1955, Tao Zhu succeeded *** as secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, and later served as the first secretary of the Central South Bureau.
In 1965, Tao Zhu became the vice premier and became a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, and finally reached the national level.
Among all the column leaders of the Northeast Field Army, Tao Zhu's achievements can be said to be the most prominent.
