When it comes to the post of chief of staff, I believe everyone knows something, and their main responsibility is to assist the military commander in military command and assist in formulating operational plans. Therefore, the chief of staff is a very important post in the army, and if he can serve as the chief of staff in the four major field armies, he is naturally a very good general in the people's ranks. So who are the chiefs of staff of the four major field armies? Which of them is the most prominent?
Liu Yalou once served as Liu Yalou of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army and the Northeast Field Army, and Liu Yalou achieved the position of division commander during the Red Army, so his actual combat experience is also very rich. It is worth mentioning that Liu Yalou was also sent to the Soviet Union for further study during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and his military theory is also very good, so he is a rare all-round talent in our army. Therefore, when Liu Yalou served as the chief of staff in Dongye, he could not only assist Lin Shuai in making strategic deployments, but also command the battle of Tianjin alone. Liu Yalou's performance as chief of staff is undoubtedly beyond doubt, and he can be called the best chief of staff in Dongye.
Dongye was renamed Siye Command, with Xiao Ke and Zhao Erlu as chiefs of staff. I believe that everyone is very familiar with Xiao Ke's name, he was the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army during the Red Army, and before he became the chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army, Xiao Ke was already the deputy commander of the North China Military Region, and his military strength was naturally very strong. Although Zhao Erlu's military talent is slightly inferior to Xiao Ke, Zhao Erlu is a thoughtful person, and the battle plan he formulated is even more impeccable, so he is also an excellent chief of staff.
The chief of staff of the East China Field Army is Chen Shiqu, you must know that Chen Shiqu is a famous general who has been picked up by one hand, whether it is military theory or actual combat command, Chen Shiqu's performance is remarkable. After the East China Field Army was renamed the Third Field Army, Zhang Zhen became the chief of staff of the Third Field Army. In his early years, Zhang Zhen assisted many famous generals such as Peng Xuefeng and Su Yu, and his military ability should not be underestimated.
Li Da served as the chief of staff of the Central Plains Field Army and the Second Field Army, although Li Da was once born in the old army, but later embarked on the revolutionary road of our party, and grew up to be an excellent general in our army. During the Agrarian Revolution, Li Da began to partner with Liu Shuai, and after eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Da also quickly grew into Liu Shuai's right-hand man. During the Liberation War, Li Da followed Liu Shuai to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements.
Let's talk about several chiefs of staff in the First Field Army, the First Field Army was originally the Northwest Field Corps, then renamed the Northwest Field Army, and finally renamed the First Field Army. During this period, Zhang Wenzhou, Yan Kuyao and others successively served as chief of staff. Zhang Wenzhou is a fierce general who came out of the Northwest Army, and his military theoretical level is also very good, and he is also a rare talent in our army.
It is worth mentioning that during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhang Wenzhou also served as the deputy chief of staff of the Volunteer Army, fought under the command of Mr. Peng, and was also a right-hand man under Mr. Peng. Because of his achievements in the revolutionary period, Zhang Wenzhou was awarded the rank of founding major general at the first award ceremony of our army in 1955.
As for Yan Kuo, when he first embarked on the revolutionary road, he was mainly engaged in military movement work, and only later did he get promoted after entering the ranks of the Red Army. During the Liberation War, Yan Kuo became the chief of staff of Nishino by virtue of his outstanding military command skills. Yan Kuo not only possesses a strong level of military theory, but also has a remarkable ability in actual combat, and can be said to be a rare all-round general in our army. In 1955, Yan was awarded the rank of founding lieutenant general, and his contributions to the revolution were affirmed by the party and the people.
To sum up, we find that there are indeed many generals who have served as chiefs of staff in the four major field armies, and each of them has its own unique advantages. However, if we have to say who has made the most outstanding achievements, we think that Liu Yalou should be counted. Liu Yalou not only made great achievements during the war years, but also formed the first air force unit for the People's Liberation Army after the founding of New China. Of course, in addition, Chen Shiqu, Li Da and Zhang Zhen are also very good.
