Under the impetus of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the united front of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the ** Red Army in northern Shaanxi was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with the ** and Marshal serving as the chief and deputy commanders respectively.
At the same time, the Red Army guerrillas in 13 southern regions were also reorganized into the newly organized Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with Ye Ting as commander, Xiang Ying as deputy commander, and Zhang Yunyi as chief of staff.
With the reorganization of the ranks of the Red Army, generals at all levels were also awarded the corresponding military ranks by the national ** in accordance with the principle of the establishment of the National Revolutionary Army. So, do you know how many generals of our army wore the rank of major general or above during the War of Resistance Against Japan?
Who has the highest military rank?
* is the only general of our army who was awarded the rank of general during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and he is known as the father of the Red Army. **In his early years, he followed General Cai Ye to participate in the Patriotic War, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the Beiyang Army.
During the Great Revolution, he was appointed as the party representative of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the director of the Political Department of the National Revolutionary Army, and was successively awarded the rank of lieutenant general and general of the National Revolutionary Army.
After the reorganization of the ranks of the Red Army, he served as the deputy commander of the Second Theater and the commander-in-chief of the 18th Army, and was once again awarded the rank of general by the people.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the people conferred the rank of lieutenant general on a number of our generals, including Ye Ting, Xiao Ke, Guo Moruo, and Xuan Xia's father.
Among them, ** was awarded the rank of lieutenant general during the Great Revolution, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general again for his position as deputy director of the Political Department of the National ** Military Commission.
**The excellence and talent of the early years were already known, so both this position and the rank of lieutenant general received as a result reflect Chiang Kai-shek's desire to envelop him.
Chiang Kai-shek treated the prime minister and the marshal differently during the Anti-Japanese War. For ***, he not only specially awarded him the rank of general, but also handed over all the salaries he received every month as party dues, which became an important fund for our army in wartime.
However, despite the generous salary, ** still insists on the same supply system as other comrades. As for the marshal, Chiang Kai-shek heard that he had been dug up by He Jian, and in order to envelop him, he directly signed a check for 50,000 yuan.
**The marshal was concerned about the plight of the bloody battle of the Eighth Route Army at the front, and hoped that the people would be able to give actual military salary support. Although Chiang Kai-shek provided a check of 50,000 yuan, Marshal *** resolutely rejected Chiang Kai-shek's kindness because of the actual situation at the front and left angrily.
Marshal and Ye Ting were awarded the rank of lieutenant general during the Great Revolution, and during the Anti-Japanese War, they were again awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the nationalists. Marshal and Marshal were awarded the rank of lieutenant general and general during the Great Revolution, and during the Anti-Japanese War, they were awarded the rank of lieutenant general as the commander of the 129th Division and the commander of the 120th Division of the 18th Group Army.
Xuan Xia's father served as the general staff of the 18th Group Army with the rank of lieutenant general, and he was the only general in our army who received this honor as deputy division commander. Compared with the common rank of major general of other deputy division commanders, Xiao Ke's achievement is particularly prominent.
In addition to the above, our army also includes the literary and artistic worker Guo Moruo, who was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. During the Anti-Japanese War, the only person awarded the rank of general was **, and ten people were also awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
In addition, 28 revolutionary ancestors were awarded the rank of major general during the Anti-Japanese War.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many outstanding generals of our army were awarded the rank of major general by the people, including Zuo Quan, Xu Haidong, Huang Kecheng, Chen Geng, Chen Zaidao, Zhou Kun, etc.
In addition, Xiang Ying, Zhou Suyuan, Tong Lusheng, Zhang Kewei, and Peng Xuefeng of the New Fourth Army were also awarded the rank of major general. Li Kenong, Zhang Yunyi, Qian Zhiguang and other workers in the literary and artistic circles also played an important role.
The heroic deeds of these generals and workers deserve to be remembered and studied forever.
Zhang Aiping, Nie Heting, and Bian Zhang, who worked in the national control area.
5. Luo Binghui, Zhang Jingwu, Li Tao and others were temporarily awarded the rank of major general.
General Chen Geng's background in the first phase of Whampoa and the fact that he saved Chiang Kai-shek's life during the Eastern Crusade made Chiang Kai-shek attach great importance to this student. Therefore, although Chiang Kai-shek regretted that he could not use Chen Geng, he showed his importance to Chen Geng in all aspects such as military rank, in order to express his affection for Chen Geng.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although General Chen Geng was in danger and faced the test of life and death, his revolutionary will was firm and unwavering, and he would never give up the revolutionary cause because of a small military rank.
In addition, there are many generals of our army who were awarded the rank of major general by the national ** during the Anti-Japanese War, and even some people who were temporarily awarded the rank of major general and literary and artistic workers, etc., and the total number of people who were awarded the rank of major general and above reached 46.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were 46 generals in our army who wore the rank of major general and above, of which the highest rank was general**. He is not only the only outstanding general in our army who has been awarded the rank of general by the people, but also the only senior general in modern history who has commanded both the national and communist armies.
However, ** did not attach importance to the rank of general conferred by the people, and he fully expressed his attitude towards the rank in a couplet.
This couplet is the title of the soldiers' room, reflecting that he shared weal and woe with ordinary soldiers on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and there was no difference in clothing, food, housing and transportation. This couplet vividly depicts the current situation of equal class treatment within our army, and also points out the problems existing within the army.
It is this spirit of working together as one and helping each other in the same boat that enabled our army to win the war of liberation. Although ** is not keen on the rank of general, this does not mean that all the generals of our army are like this.
There was once a brigade commander who took the initiative to hand out a business card with the rank of major general awarded to him by the national ** during a meeting with ***.
Once, ** saw a man whose business card said "Major General Brigade Commander", although he was dissatisfied, he did not immediately get angry. Instead, he asked this "major general brigade commander" some questions about the army.
If his answer satisfies ***, then *** may let go of the anger in his heart. However, this person's answer did not meet the standards of ***, so *** angrily rebuked: "What Major General Tahini? ”
Afterwards, after the award ceremony in 1955, General Chen Geng, an insider, was asked by the child, "Dad, what title did you bestow?" He humorously replied, "Tahini." ”
Although the people once conferred the rank of member of our army, in the eyes of our army's ancestors who had a strong revolutionary will, these false names were not important. What they really pursued in their hearts was the realization of communism, and they did not care about the empty military ranks, and they never forgot their original intention of joining the revolution and fighting to save the country and the people.
The military rank conferred by the national ** plays an important role in its essence, especially during the cooperation of the national ** team, which provides convenience for the command.
