In 1957, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China sent the most powerful military delegation to pay a military visit to the Soviet Union. Why do you say that the lineup of this military mission is very strong? Because the military delegation to visit the Soviet Union was led by General Peng Da, in addition to Ye Shuai, plus four founding generals, including General Su Yu.
You must know that General Peng Da and Su Yu are both famous founding generals who enjoy the title of God of War in the people's army. With their participation, it is not an exaggeration to say: This military delegation to the Soviet Union is one of the strongest in the history of our country.
The reason why in November 1957, a number of founding generals visited the Soviet Union, in addition to military exchanges, was to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the victory of the "October Revolution".
And this more precious historical old ** was taken on Red Square in Moscow. Standing in the C position was the leader of the delegation, General Peng Da, who was then the Minister of Defense of the People's Army. During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, he repelled the Western powers and became a hero of the Soviet Union in the eyes of the Soviet army.
Leaning on the right of General Peng is Ye Shuai. The great Grandpa Mao commented on him: Lu Duan is not confused about major things, and he is a very capable founding handsome.
Leaning to the right of Ye Shuai is General Liu Yalou, then commander of the Air Force, who studied in the Soviet Union and knows Russian. This visit to the Soviet Union is to have a discussion with the Soviet generals in the field of air force, and the senior air force generals of the two countries will learn from each other and make progress together.
Standing behind Liu Yalou was General Liu Zhen, then deputy commander of the People's Air Force. This time, he followed General Liu Yalou to visit the Soviet Union and carry out military exchanges with Soviet generals.
Standing to the left of General Peng was General Tan Zheng, then director of the General Political Department, and an outstanding political cadre belonging to the people's army.
Leaning on Tan Zheng's left is General Xu Guangda, then the commander of the armored corps in the people's army and also studied in the Soviet Union. During his visit to the Soviet Union this time, Xu Guangda, as the commander of the armored forces, was able to have in-depth exchanges with the generals of the Soviet army who were in a torrent of steel, and he had relevant knowledge in the field of armored forces.
As mentioned earlier, Su Yu, the head of the generals, was also a member of this military delegation. As a very low-key personality, Su Yu did not stand in the front row, but stood behind Xu Guangda and General Tan Zheng. It can also be seen from this that the general Su Yu is very low-key, focusing on military research wholeheartedly, and belongs to a very low-key god of war.
Leaning next to General Su Yu was General Hong Xuezhi, then head of the General Logistics Department of the People's Army, who was hailed as an all-round general in the history of our army.
Admiral Xiao Jinguang is also very low-key, standing behind Ye Shuai, revealing half of his face, it is him. He was also an all-round general in the history of our army's wars, made great achievements in the military field, and was also one of the founders of the People's Navy.
