"Wang Bicheng's matter should be resolved by himself to come to me personally. How could he be compared to Ye Fei?
In the early days of the founding of New China, in order to promote the modernization of our army and meet the actual operational needs, it was decided to implement the military rank system.
In 1955, a world-renowned award ceremony was held in Zhongnanhai, which was the first time in the history of the People's Liberation Army to implement the military rank system. "
In the award ceremony, Wang Bicheng and Ye Fei were awarded the rank of lieutenant general and general respectively. Wang Bicheng was very dissatisfied with this result, he said that his combat experience was almost the same as Ye Fei's, why did Ye Fei's military rank be higher than his?
In this regard, Luo Shuai, who was rated as the title, said directly to Wang Bicheng: "Can you compare with Ye Fei? So, why did Luo Shuai say that? What is the reason why Ye Fei was rated as a general, and Wang Bicheng could only be rated as a lieutenant general?
Wang Bicheng, a Red Army general born in 1912, joined the revolution as early as a teenager and joined the Chinese Communist Party the following year.
His military career was full of bravery and combat experience, and he participated in many anti-"encirclement and suppression" battles and the arduous 25,000-mile Long March.
His bravery and good fighting, always rushing to the forefront, made him promoted from a small squad leader to a regimental political commissar. With the end of the Long March, he had already served as the deputy commander of the 30th Division of the 89th Army of the Red Army.
Ye Fei was only the political commissar of the division during this period, and he did not participate in the most important 25,000-mile Long March of the Red Army. In contrast, Wang Bicheng participated in far more wars than Ye Fei, indicating that during this period, Wang Bicheng's achievements were higher than Ye Fei's.
With the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ye Fei and the guerrillas led by him were reorganized and became the Sixth Regiment of the Third Detachment of the New Fourth Army, with Ye Fei as the commander.
Under the command of Marshal **, Ye Fei led the regiment to Jiangsu, and began to fight behind enemy lines with all his might, develop and expand the ranks, and establish an anti-Japanese base area.
On that hot summer night, Ye Fei led his subordinates to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese puppet army, and all the enemies were wiped out before they could react.
In order to prevent the enemy from reacting immediately, Ye Fei also ordered his men to demolish the railroad and houses, which resulted in the train being forced to stop running for three days.
Ye Fei led the team to Changshu and discovered an excellent anti-Japanese base to establish a place.
At the same time, Wang Bicheng was also serving as the commander of the regiment, and the team he led was the guerrilla force left over from the Long March of the main Red Army.
After the end of the guerrilla warfare, they once again set foot on the battlefield and fought bloody battles in the Maoshan area to establish an anti-Japanese base area.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, they were all regiment commanders, and they all led the team to victory in many battles.
However, it was in their later actions that the gap really came to light.
The indissoluble bond between Su Yu and Ye Fei The acquaintance between Su Yu and Ye Fei can be traced back to the three-year guerrilla war. At that time, Ye Fei was the commander of the Mindong Independent Division, and he had been leading guerrilla warfare in the Fujian region.
However, the strong strength of the Kuomintang army made it difficult to get in touch with the various guerrilla areas, so many misunderstandings arose.
In addition, there were some traitors who betrayed each other, which caused the guerrillas to start to suspect each other, and even triggered a civil strife called the "Nanyang Incident".
