The strongest corps in the field army of the People's Liberation Army Welcome to read the 3127th issue of the historical column of Shiyuan, which will be the strongest corps in the field army of the People's Liberation Army. During the War of Liberation, the XPCC played an important role in the Kuomintang and Communist armies, and showed different characteristics and quantitative changes before and after the war.
In the early stage of the Liberation War, our army was faced with the disadvantage of insufficient troops, and the scale of field troops was limited, so the number of corps was small, and no regular numerical numbers were established, but regional titles such as the Northwest Field Corps, the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and the Shandong Corps.
However, with the end of the three major battles in early 1949, the PLA greatly increased its strength, and a total of 16 corps with regular numerical numbers were formed, which were subordinate to the four major field armies at that time. First, let's look at the 1st Field Army. Among the four corps under the jurisdiction of the field army, the strongest is the 19th Corps, that is, the "Yang Luogeng" corps in the former North China period.
The corps was led by General Yang Dezhi and was the main force of the North China Military Region, and then transferred to Yiye to become the first-class main force, with a total strength of more than 120,000 troops, and its overall strength was stronger than that of the other three corps. The 19th Corps was ordered to enter the DPRK in 1951 and became one of the six main corps of the Volunteer Army to enter the DPRK and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Next was the Second Field Army, which had only 3 corps, making it the smallest in number and the smallest number of corps among the four major field armies. In the section.
III. Among the 4th and 5th Corps, the 4th Corps was the strongest, led by General Chen Geng.
During the War of Liberation, Chen Geng commanded the largest number of corps-level chiefs to destroy the enemy, and the troops under his command annihilated more than 500,000 Kuomintang troops and bandits, becoming a well-deserved fist force. Finally, let's look at the Third Field Army, which was known as the "Chen Su Army" during the War of Liberation.
After its reorganization in 1949, the field army consisted of four corps, namely.
VII. The 8th, 9th, and 10th Corps were all divisions capable of conscription and habitual warfare, and their commanders were also of a very high military level. To sum up, among the field armies of the PLA, the most powerful corps are the 19th Corps of the First Field Army, the 4th Corps of the 2nd Field Army, and the 4 corps of the 3rd Field Army.
These corps played an important role in the War of Liberation and demonstrated outstanding combat effectiveness and command skills. The Ninth Corps was a powerful unit under the command of Song Shilun. In the later stage of the Liberation War, the corps undertook the task of attacking Taiwan and was known as the "Sanye Sharp Knife" because of its combat effectiveness. After special reinforcement by Noji, in 1950, the elite parts of the other corps were transferred to the corps and prepared to cross the sea to fight.
However, with the development of the Korean war situation, ** decided to send troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and the Song Shilun Corps urgently went north and went to the front line in December 1950 to participate in the famous Battle of Changjin Lake. As the main force of Sanye, the Ninth Corps deserves its name. The strength of the Fourth Field Army can be described as extremely powerful. Siye was recognized as the most strategically important unit during the Liberation War, with a strength of more than one million at its peak.
There are four main corps, each with more than 200,000 people and four divisions under its jurisdiction, which is the only one among all field armies. After the army reform in 1949, Shino had the first.
Ten. II.X.
The 3rd, 14th and 15th Corps were very balanced in strength at that time, and each corps had an ace army as the backbone, namely the 38th, 39th, 40th and 43rd armies.
However, in the subsequent development process, the 14th Corps was disbanded early to support the construction of the Air Force. By 1950, the 13th Corps was the most powerful and was used to form the Northeast Frontier Army, which later became the number one ace corps of the Volunteer Army in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
The main forces of the three armies and the four fields of the army were all assembled in the 13th Corps at this time, and the commander was also changed from Huang Yongsheng to Deng Hua, and absorbed Han Xianchu and Hong Xuezhi, two tiger generals, so that the corps headquarters reached the highest configuration. Among the entire PLA units, the comprehensive strength of the 13th Corps can also be called the strongest, which is undisputed.
