In the middle of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Hao, the political commissar of the 129th Division, was in poor health and recuperated due to illness, and Political Commissar Deng was appointed as the political commissar of the 129th Division and partnered with the division commander Liu Shuai. From this time on, until the end of the Liberation War, Liu Deng has always been the best pair, and the troops under their command are also known as Liu Deng's army. The 129th Division won a series of victories in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, such as Changshengkou, Changle Village, Xiangtangpu, Yangmingbao, and Qiqian Village, and was the strongest anti-Japanese record among the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army. 
During the War of Liberation, Liu Deng's army leaped thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains, surrounded and annihilated the Huang Wei group at Shuangdui, crossed the Yangtze River, swept across the southwest, annihilated more than 2 million enemies, and defeated the reactionary army to the point of losing its armor and abandoning its armor. In these battles, Liu Deng's army emerged countless outstanding generals, and the author selected the five with the strongest combat performance, called the five tiger generals, and everyone judged who had the strongest military ability. Fifth place: Wang Jinshan. Wang Jinshan, nicknamed Wang Madman, is brave and tenacious in battle, not afraid of sacrifice, and often personally leads the charge, and is a brave general. Everyone knows that Li Yunlong is the protagonist of Liangjian, and Li Yunlong's historical prototype is General Wang Jinshan. In 1955, Wang Jinshan was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and in terms of his qualifications and military exploits, it is also possible to be awarded the rank of general. Fourth place: Wang Hongkun. Wang Hongkun, an old revolutionary who participated in the Jute Uprising, was a famous general with outstanding achievements in the grass-roots stage of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region, and was also the cousin of General Wang Shusheng. Wang Hongkun was brave and strategic, he became a commander during the Red Army period, and was one of the highest-ranking generals of the Red Fourth Front Army. 
During the War of Liberation, Wang Hongkun commanded the Xiangfan Campaign, using the Black Tiger to dig out the heart of the strategy to take Xiangyang City, the famous Sichuan Army General Guo Xunqi directly beat Meng, fully demonstrated his outstanding military ability, in 1955, Wang Hongkun was awarded the rank of general. Third place: Yang Yong. To evaluate Yang Yong's characteristics, one word is the most appropriate: military and political excellence. Yang Yong was originally a political cadre, but he began to engage in military affairs during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and he made a name for himself and established countless military exploits. During the Liberation War, when Erye formed three corps, Yang Yong was one of the three corps commanders. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Yang Yong served as the deputy commander and commander of the Volunteer Army, and was the last commander of the Volunteer Army, and his position was very important. In 1955, Yang Yong was awarded the rank of general, and in 1958, Yang Yong led the soldiers of the Volunteer Army to return to his hometown. Second place: ** He was only 13 years old when he joined the Red Army, and Zhan Caifang, who personally recruited him into the army, saw that he was too young and asked him to be a guard for himself. 
After a period of training by Zhan Caifang's side, ** began to serve as a front-line commander and grew into an outstanding general during the war years. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led his troops to attack Yangmingbao and played the majestic style of the 129th Division, and during the War of Liberation, he became one of the three corps commanders of Erye together with Yang Yong and Chen Geng. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of general for his outstanding military exploits. It is worth mentioning that Zhan Caifang, the former old chief, was only awarded a lieutenant general, and his progress was so fast that he surpassed his old chief, and people have to admire his genius military command ability. First place: Chen Geng. Chen Geng, only 16 years old left home to serve as a soldier in the Hunan Army, joined the party in 1923, and then was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, the top student in the first phase of the Whampoa cadet, one of the three heroes of Whampoa. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, Chen Geng worked in Shanghai as a special department, a regiment commander, a division commander, and a chief of staff of the front army in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region, and as the principal of the Pengyang Military Academy, the head of the cadre regiment, and the division commander in the ** Red Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Geng led the 386 Brigade of the 129th Division to win a series of battles such as Xiangtangpu and Changshengkou, and the 386 Brigade led by him also played a reputation as the first brigade in the world. 
During the War of Liberation, Chen Geng led the Taiyue Column from the Battle of Wenxia to fight on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, making outstanding contributions to the victory of the War of Liberation. Chen Geng participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the War to Resist France and Aid Vietnam, and the War of Resistance Against Japan. In 1955, Chen Geng was awarded the rank of general. To sum up, I think that among the five tiger generals of Liu Deng's army, the strongest military ability must be Chen Geng, whether it is combat exploits or ability, he is the best.
