In 1977, ** was appointed Chief of the General Staff, however, due to his multi-tasking, he could not devote himself to the work of the General Staff, so he chose 8 deputy chiefs to assist him.
Among the eight deputy chiefs, three were founding generals, three were founding lieutenant generals, as well as a comrade with more seniority and a 48-year-old young man. Although this young man is not as good as the other 7 deputy directors in terms of personal resume, he was *** selected, why is this?
New copywriting: Yang Yong, Li Da and Peng Shaohui are the three founding generals of the People's Republic of China, witnesses of history, and they each have unique contributions and statuses. Yang Yong, as the executive deputy general chief, presided over the specific work of the General Staff Headquarters, and had been following the southern expedition and the northern war during the war years, and the understanding and friendship between them were also deepened.
**After the disaster, Yang Yong has been thinking about him, and working hard for his comeback, this appreciation of superiors and subordinates and gratitude between friends makes their relationship even more special.
Li Da is an old comrade-in-arms, he served as chief of staff for a long time during the war years, and he was invincible and contributed to Liu Deng's army. Peng Shaohui's identity is somewhat special, he has outstanding performance in different positions and has made significant contributions to the country.
The heroic deeds and outstanding contributions of these three founding generals deserve to be remembered and respected forever.
Peng Shaohui is a one-armed general who has made great achievements in the Liberation War under the leadership of Mr. Peng for a long time, so he deserves the post of deputy chief of general staff.
The three lieutenant generals, Wang Shangrong, Zhang Caiqian, and Wang Zhen, also have their own characteristics. Wang Shangrong came to work in the General Staff as early as 1952 and was promoted to deputy director by virtue of his outstanding talents.
Zhang Caiqian previously served as deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region"913 Incident"Later, he came to Beijing as deputy chief of the General Staff, when the chief of the General Staff was vacant, and he became the de facto leader who presided over the day-to-day work.
Wang Zhen is different from other deputy commanders, although he is also a lieutenant general, he has never led troops to fight.
The reason why Wang Zhen was able to become the founding father of the Republic was because he made outstanding contributions to our army's radio industry. ** He was praised as "the originator of the communications work of the Chinese People's Liberation Army".
Based on this evaluation, it is reasonable for Wang Zhen to be elected as the deputy director. The other other comrade with more seniority is Wu Xiuquan. Wu Xiuquan is indeed the most senior among these deputy chiefs, and it is worth mentioning that he participated as an interpreter at the Zunyi Conference, which had a far-reaching impact in the history of our party.
Although Wu Xiuquan did not participate in the awarding of titles after the founding of the People's Republic of China, his status in our army is still very high. After understanding these three generals, three lieutenant generals, and this veteran comrade Wu Xiuquan, we can understand the qualifications for becoming deputy chief at that time.
Only one deputy commander stood out from the seven, he was only 48 years old, and the most surprising thing was that he was only a colonel in the first major award of our army in 1955.
So, what made him win the appreciation of *** and be promoted to deputy director? He is *** Although ***'s qualifications are not deep, he only joined the Eighth Route Army in 1945, and on the eve of the liberation of New China, he was just a company-level instructor.
However, the reason why he was able to be appreciated later may be related to his excellent performance, especially in the Battle of Shanghai.
After the Battle of Crossing the River in 1949, Sanye was ordered to liberate Shanghai. Among them, ** was a company instructor of the 27th Army, who showed extraordinary courage and wisdom in the battle of May 25.
At that time, the 27th Army had already captured the main block south of Suzhou Creek, but the Kuomintang troops relied on high-rise buildings such as the Broadway Building, the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications Building, and the Sixing Warehouse to block our army.
Since the higher authorities did not allow the use of heavy ** in Shanghai, the two armies had been holding each other for more than 10 hours, and the results of our army were not obvious. At this critical juncture, it was decided to take bold action.
He took two fighters through the sewers to the enemy's four-line warehouse, solved the sentry, and then went to the enemy's division headquarters. With their wit and bravery, they frightened their enemies.
The enemy colonel told *** that the division commander was not there. So, ** put the gun against the colonel, and asked him to give the order to withdraw the team under the bridge and let them down**.
This heroic act finally helped our army successfully solve the enemy's resistance and successfully liberate Shanghai. **'s wisdom and courage and fearless spirit have deeply influenced us.
Xiao Xiqian observed the cowering of the defenders on the opposite bank, keenly seized the opportunity, and quickly rushed through the defensive line. In this battle, ** led only two people, captured thousands of enemies, so he became the most decorated soldier.
After the war, Zhong Xidong, director of the Political Department of the 27th Army, appreciated his courage and said to him: "I plan to change your name and call you Brother Daring in the future." Since then, ** has been appreciated by his superiors, first trained on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and was sent to the Military Academy for further study in 1958.
However, to his surprise, when he graduated two years later, his superiors suddenly told him that he was ready to let him go to the embassy as a military attaché. ** was very dissatisfied with this, and he hoped to be able to return to the 27th Army.
So, he called Zhou Guanwu, head of the Cadre Department of the Nanjing Military Region, and asked for assistance.
In the 27th Army, the outstanding soldier Zhou Guanwu personally reported to the commander Xu Shiyou in order to retain ***. After hearing this, Xu Shiyou resolutely said that if someone digs up his soldiers, he will let *** return to the original army, and said that this is what he said.
Xu Shiyou's protection enabled *** to successfully return to the army and served as the director of the Political Department of the 27th Army Division and the deputy director of the Military Political Department. In 1973, he was transferred to the deputy political commissar of the Beijing Military Region and came to the capital from the local area, starting a new chapter in his revolutionary career.
In 1977, the post of deputy chief of the general staff was arranged for ***, and this sudden appointment was like a bolt from the blue for *** himself.
However, he was not bound by this position and threw himself into his work. When you find out, encourage him to let go of his work and not have any concerns.
This statement gave *** confidence, and he began to reform drastically. **One of the reasons for choosing *** as the deputy chief is to promote the rejuvenation of cadres, and the other reason is that *** is from Sanye, not Erye.
This appointment is also a message to the outside world: as long as you have excellent ability, you can take on important responsibilities.
**Discerning people,**After taking office, he acted vigorously and resolutely, and won praise from his superiors and subordinates. After Yang Dezhi took over, he became the chief of the General Staff after years of experience. ** In 1988, he was awarded the rank of general, and later promoted to vice chairman of the Military Commission, which was deeply admired.
**I chose *** and there was nothing wrong with that.
