He was the longest-serving commander in the history of the Shenyang Military Region, and succeeded Deng Hua in this post after the Lushan Conference in 1959 and served for 14 years until 1973, when the commanders of the eight military regions were transferred.
Famous generals can cultivate famous generals, and they can also create famous generals. During his tenure in the Shenyang Military Region, the general successfully trained 3 deputy commanders, all of whom later took up the leadership positions of commanders of the large military region.
Who are they? The first is the founding lieutenant general Zeng Siyu, who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and was cordially received by ***. Zeng Siyu is a general of the Red Army, and he is a general of the Red Fourth Front Army, although they have little intersection in their careers, they are all generals with outstanding ability.
When *** came to the Shenyang Military Region as commander, Zeng Siyu was the deputy commander and chief of staff, and he came earlier than *** and was more familiar with the situation of the Shenyang Military Region. As the chief of staff, Zeng Siyu is the most relied on assistant.
** When I first arrived, I needed to understand the situation, and I wanted to go to the military region to survey the terrain, Zeng Siyu accompanied him throughout the whole process, and he was almost a northeast pass. While walking, Zeng Siyu explained the terrain characteristics and fortification points, ** was very satisfied, and jokingly called him Master Zeng.
In 1961, the Shenyang Military Region successfully shot down a plane of Chiang's bandit army, and the chief of the General Staff came to the military region to check it.
Zeng Siyu and *** went to the airport to greet *** and congratulate them on their victory. ** Without exclusive credit, he praised Zeng Siyu's outstanding performance in person and said that Deputy Commander Zeng had made significant contributions.
In 1967, Zeng Siyu was promoted to commander of the Wuhan Military Region, and in 1973, he participated in the transfer of commanders of the eight military regions together with ***. Major General Xiao Quanfu is another comrade-in-arms of the Red Fourth Front Army.
Although he had a lower military rank during the war, he served as the commander of the 46th Army in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and his outstanding performance was praised by ***. **I also took a photo with Xiao Quanfu in person.
After returning to China, after a period of study, Xiao Quanfu came to work in the Shenyang Military Region and served as deputy chief of staff, responsible for operations and training. In 1969, he was promoted to deputy commander and chief of staff of the military district, responsible for the day-to-day work.
History has proved that Xiao Quanfu was an excellent general, he defeated the American devils on the Korean battlefield and fought against the Soviet army in the northeast. The most famous of these was the 1969 Treasure Island Self-Defense Counterattack.
In the face of the constant provocations of the Soviet army, our side is ready to resolutely fight back.
**Under the needs of the country's political and diplomatic struggle, Xiao Quanfu, deputy commander of the military region, was asked to command the self-defense counterattack on the front line, and at the same time stressed the need to obey the orders of the Central Military Commission.
Xiao Quanfu did not disappoint ***, he carefully deployed, was good at using troops, successfully taught the Soviet army a lesson, repelled the enemy, and achieved reasonable, advantageous and modest, which not only won a military victory, but also achieved political results.
Later, Xiao Quanfu was promoted to commander of the Urumqi Military Region and became the last commander of this large military region. And Jiang Yonghui, as the deputy of ***, also successively served as the deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region and the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region.
** A lifetime of military service, personal achievements are quite great, to see that 3 of his deputies have also taken the leadership position of the commander of a large military region, I must be very gratified.
