In 1948, the East China Field Army underwent a major adjustment, forming the first corps with the first column, the fourth column, and the sixth column as the core, and went south to participate in the campaign, with Su Yu, the god of war, as the commander, so the corps is also known as the Su Yu Corps. At the same time, the 7th Column, the 9th Column, the 13th Column and the Bohai Column formed the 2nd Corps, which was responsible for internal combat missions, also known as the Inner Line Corps.
The trump card of the East China Battlefield: the glorious history of Xu Tan's Corps.
The commander of the Inner Line Corps was General Xu Shiyou, who was praised by Grandpa Mao as "playing the eastern half of the sky" during the liberation period, and the political commissar was the founder of the western Fujian base area.

The generals of the five columns: a gorgeous stage for heroic generals.
The commanders and political commissars of the Second Corps of the East China Field Army were all outstanding generals in the history of our army's revolutionary war, so the Second Corps was also widely known as the Xu Tan Corps. In its heyday, the Xu Tan Corps had five columns and was the backbone of the Shandong battlefield and made great contributions to speeding up the liberation of the entire territory of Shandong.
The First Column: The Ninth Column, which fought valiantly and bloodily.
The first column of Xu Tan's corps, the ninth column, originated from the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong base area. On the battlefield in Shandong, this group of brave people's soldiers grew up in the flames of war after bloody battles, and became the most tenacious trump card force in the East China battlefield. Xu Shiyou, the first commander of the Ninth Column, was an iron-blooded general who had experienced a hundred battles. When he became the commander of the Inner Line Corps in 1948, General Nie Fengzhi served as the commander, and he was also a brave general who had experienced a hundred battles. In 1955, Xu Shiyou was awarded the rank of general, and Nie Fengzhi was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
The second column: the legendary journey of the iron-blooded tiger general Zhou Zhijian.
The second column of the Xu Tan Corps, the 13th Column, was established in 1947 and was formed by the troops of the Jiaodong Military Region. Although they were founded relatively late, they were fortunate to have an iron-blooded general, the tiger general, General Zhou Zhijian, as their commander. Zhou Zhijian performed well in the Huaihai Campaign, was General Su Yu's right-hand man, and stood out with his outstanding combat experience and brave fighting spirit. In 1949, the 13th Column was reorganized into the 31st Army, and Zhou Zhijian became the first commander of the army, participating in the battle of crossing the river and liberating Zhangzhou, Xiamen and other important cities. In 1955, Zhou Zhijian was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and the 31st Army became a heroic unit guarding the southeast of the motherland.
The third column: the seventh column led by Fu Qiutao.
The Seventh Column was formed by merging the Seventh Division of the Shandong Field Army and the troops of the Luzhong Military Region in the early days of liberation, and its commander was General Cheng Jun. Cheng Jun was a native of Shishou, Hubei, and began his military career after joining the Red Army. He was brave and warlike, made many meritorious contributions, and became a founding lieutenant general with great military achievements. Cheng Jun also made remarkable achievements in the field of the Air Force, becoming deputy commander of the Air Force, and made important contributions to the homeland air defense system and surface-to-air missiles.
The two generals of Xu Tan's corps: Yuan Yelie and Fu Qiutao.
The other two columns of Xu Tan's corps were the Bohai Column and the Luzhongnan Column formed in July 1948. Although these two columns were inferior to the Ninth and Seventh Columns in terms of staffing, their commanders had considerable backgrounds. The commander of the Bohai Column, Yuan Yelie, was a very old founding general who participated in the Nanchang Uprising and the Kyushu Uprising, and was the superior of General Lin and Commander Su. Although Yuan Yelie was awarded the rank of major general after the victory of the Revolutionary War, his qualifications among the founding generals were the oldest, comparable to those of the US dollar commander. Fu Qiutao, the commander of the Central and Southern Column of Lu, was a founding general who contributed to the revolution, was capable of both military and political affairs, and made great achievements in the revolutionary war years. Therefore, Fu Qiutao was awarded the rank of general after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
