**10,000 Fan Incentive Plan Awarded titles in the army is a very important and not easy thing to get, in the early days of the founding of New China, my ** team encountered a lot of difficulties in awarding titles. On September 27, 1955, an important award ceremony was held in Zhongnanhai Dehuairen Hall, which was the first award ceremony of our army.

There were many hiccups in the awarding of the ranks, such as the fact that nearly 3,000 of the Red Army winners were not awardedAnd these are the old Red Army. The relevant personnel who awarded the title told *** about this matter and thought about it for a while, and only said 5 words, and the problem was solved. How is it solved? What five words did he say?

The 1955 award was the first award after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the scale and number of people were quite large, even the later award ceremony could not catch up with this time. More than 1,600 people were awarded the title of major general, and these major generals fought on the battlefield in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation and made contributions to the motherland.

What does military rank mean for military personnel? That can be said to be higher than life, the supreme honor, and the embodiment of the value of his own battles for so many years. The higher the rank, the greater the contribution and the higher the corresponding remuneration. And the families of military personnel who have received military ranks can also be treated well and have better living conditions, which they deserve.

What kind of person can be rated as a military rank is also very strict, seniority is the most important, followed by military age, if he has entered the army as early as the revolutionary period, then his military rank must be high. A special reminder is that the longer you stay in the army, the higher your rank, and it also depends on what important battles you have participated in and what military exploits you have made, which is also the criterion for evaluation.

The military rank awarded by the state is not satisfactory to everyone, there is a major general named Zhong Wei, who has made a lot of contributions in the army, and also rushed to the front line to fight, and he is not very satisfied after being named a major generalSo he wanted to fight for himself and reacted to his superiors, in addition to him, there were many generals who had fought for their military ranks. There are also many generals who even feel that the reward is too high and ask for organizational demotion.

When the title was conferred in 1955, the whole country implemented an administrative-level salary systemThe salary corresponding to the rank of marshal is 500 yuan, and the salary of the general is 450 yuan, and the difference between each rank is 50 yuan.

The process of conferring military ranks was not so easy, and in 1939, in order to facilitate the transfer of personnel, the state issued a directive on the establishment of a hierarchical system** and Ye Ting and other generals were awarded lieutenant generals, but at that time because of the unstable situation, so it was shelved.

Later, in 1945, just in time for the Soviet Union to march into the Japanese army in the northeast, Duan Zijun and Peng Zhen and others made meritorious contributions and were awarded the ranks of colonel and lieutenant general respectively. However, with the outbreak of the Korean War, the conferment was once again put on hold.

After the victory of the Korean War, the country needed to send people to negotiate with the United States, but Deng Hua, the representative at that time, was a person who did not have any military rank, so how could he negotiate with the United States, so *** and *** planned to start the military rank awarding ceremony.

Before the award, the commission for the award of the title drew on the experience of the Soviet Union, and waited until *** and others reported to *** on the plan for the awardHowever, he refused to give him the title of generalissimo, believing that wearing the rank of generalissimo would be very unchanging, and he also proposed that those who worked in the local area would be better off without the rank.

Before the official start of the title conference, many people came to *** and asked him not to confer titles on themselves, including General Su Yu, General Su Yu's position in the army is high, he has repeatedly made military achievements, and he is still the commander of many major battles, he is eligible for the title of marshal, in addition to Su Yu and Xu Guangda, he once wrote to ***, telling *** that his merits are not up to such a high rank, ** replied that he has not yet reached the time of awarding the title, and the man has tears and does not flick.

Many generals think that they don't deserve such a high rank and treatment, and Xu Shiyou once found *** to "complain" to him about the awarding of military ranksHe compared himself to a dog's tail grass, saying that this military rank is hung on the dog's tail grass, which is really ashamed, General Xu Shiyou has considered the people all his life, even if it is his family, he has told him many times not to act with special treatment.

In addition to these problems, during the Great Awards, some of the old Red Army, which had a very long military experience, followed the ranks during the agrarian revolutionThey have been in the army for decades, and it is a miracle that they have survived until now.

The existence of the old Red Army is the core of the whole team, they have rich combat experience, and they have paid too much for the victory of New ChinaThere are many reasons why the old Red Army was not awarded, some of them left the team because of injuries, and some of them were not awarded titles because they did not go to school and stopped on the road to promotion, and their positions were not highForcibly conferring titles, they did not meet the conditions, and some people had to go another round, so the staff who conferred the title made it difficult and reported it.

** Soon noticed this problem, if you look at how many merits you have made and what major battles you have participated in, there is no way,What's more, the old Red Army also has a family, and they also have to live, what these old Red Army members have paid for the country cannot be measured by military rank, and they can't make them chill.

There was a meeting on this matter, in which he said:"Don't let these old Reds chill their hearts. ”Many people also nodded again and again, but in the final analysis, how to deal with it, everyone lowered their heads and didn't know what to do. At this time, the voice of *** came:"The Red Army does not go to colonel. ”

This opinion is good, ** in just five words to solve this matter,These five words mean that the rank of the old Red Army is not lower than the rank of major,In the heart of ***, these old Red Army members have status, and for those old Red Army, this is very good, and it is also a guarantee, and there is no problem with pension. As soon as this matter was resolved, more than 3,000 old Red Army soldiers were very excited, and they shouted "Long live".

The old Red Army has a long history, they also grew up watching New China, in 1927, with the Nanchang Uprising, our army began to carry out armed resistance, at that time there were not many people, and they had to face Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression, in this processUnder difficult conditions, our party defeated the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang, and in the fifth battle, our party suffered more than half of the casualties and suffered heavy losses, so it was forced to go on a long march.

led the Red Army soldiers to climb Liupan Mountain,With a trumpet, the Long March officially began, on the evening of October 10, 1934and the Red Army led the 135th ** Regiment with a total of 80,000 people to set off in Fujian and other places.

The Red Army's Long March experienced many very difficult moments, such as the skillful capture of the Jinsha River, but in the process of crossing the Chishui River to the south and crossing the Wujiang River four times, our army did not lose a single person, and on the way also captured the Kuomintang military vehicles, on which there were many ham sausages and special products, etc., and there were more than 20 military maps in the two suitcases, which was a great harvest and a great gift for the Red Army to enter the Yunnan region. Under the leadership of ***, the Kuomintang army was thrown far away by our troops, the Jinsha River was defenseless, the Red Army reached the north bank of the Jinsha River, and the entire operation to cross the river did not lose a single person.

Later, he encountered the difficulty of the Dadu River, at this time the ferries on both sides of the Dadu River were destroyed by the enemy, and the pursuers immediately chased after them, and Lai Zhizhong thought that the Red Army could not come, so he left a wooden boat for himself, and it was also because of this wooden boat that the Red Army survived in a desperate situation. The Red Army crossed the river with it for seven days and seven nights, and by the time the enemy reached the shore, the Red Army had broken the ship and closed the river, leaving only the enemy to find no trace of the Red Army.

The battle of the Xiangjiang River in the Red Army's Long March can be called the most tragic battle, the enemy launched a fierce attack on the Red Army that was crossing the river, in order to cover the Red Army to cross the shore safely, the Red Army on both sides of the strait and the enemy came to a life-and-death contest, the enemy also used a strong tendon, the Red Army soldiers who were bombed were bloody in their noses and mouths, and halfway through the battle, both sides of the Xiangjiang River were full of blood, and it was red, and it was also because of this battle that the Red Army was sharply reduced from 80,000 to 30,000.

The Red Army survived many difficulties one by one, but there were still people who died in the course of the Long March, which had 180,000 men at the beginning, and after the Long March, only 30,000 remained. After the Red Army's Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began, and these 30,000 people quickly joined the ranks of the War of Resistance against Japan.

After the 8-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, only 3,000 of these 30,000 people remained, and although these 3,000 people could not remember their names, they knew their contributions to the revolution and the sacrifices they made for the nation.

Among them, there is a veteran, who has lived to be 110 years old, when recalling the experience of the army in those years, he said that his life has long been the country and the party, he can survive the rain of bullets, and also witnessed the rise of China.

Although the 3,000 Red Army soldiers did not have a high degree of education, the party and the people did not forget them, they devoted their lives to the revolutionary cause, and the state also had the responsibility to provide them with a living guarantee. We should cherish peace, cherish the world fought by these martyrs, and cherish their memory.
