During the Anti-Japanese War, Song Shilun served as the commander of the 716th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and led his troops to the area north of Yanmen Pass to open up an anti-Japanese base area, and then led his troops with Deng Hua and others to participate in the Eastern Hebei Rebellion.
During the War of Liberation, Song Shilun served as the commander of the 10th Column of Huaye, he was very good at blocking, Shangcai Blockade, Taolingang Blockade, Xudong Blockade, etc., the battle was wonderful, and won the reputation of "the platoon artillery does not move, it must be the 10th column". When the Huaye Army was reorganized, Song Shilun served as the commander of the Ninth Corps.
The Ninth Corps is under the jurisdiction of the 20th, 27th, 30th and 33rd Armies. The commanders of these three armies had already made a name for themselves before the Liberation War, and all of them were fierce generals who could fight well.
Liu Fei, commander of the 20th Army.
Liu Fei is also a fierce general, he participated in the Jute Uprising, fought very fiercely, and was already a division-level cadre during the Red Army, and was a member of the tiger general. During the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Fei went to the New Fourth Army and began to cooperate with Ye Fei, focusing on political work.
In 1939, Ye Fei's 6th Regiment marched east to southern Jiangsu to join the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteers, which was changed to the Second Road of the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteers, and Liu Fei served as the director of the Political Department. Liu Fei was wounded in a battle and sent to the rear hospital of Yangcheng Lake. In the face of the enemy's frantic encirclement and suppression, the large army retreated, and the 36 wounded led by Liu Fei waged an indomitable struggle against the Japanese puppets in the reeds of Yangcheng Lake. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this experience was written as "Shajiabang", and Liu Fei was the real-life version of Guo Jianguang.
In the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Fei was promoted to the commander of the 18th Brigade and the commander of the First Army Division of the Soviet-Chinese Military Region, and began to take charge of himself. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Fei still fought in East China, served as the deputy commander of the column, and served as the commander of the 20th Army in 1949.
In 1955, Liu Fei was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Nie Fengzhi mainly fought against Japan in Shandong, and served as the commander and political commissar of the 13th Regiment of the Jiaodong Military Region, the commander of the Jiaodongwei Naval Division, and the commander of the 5th Brigade. During the Liberation War, Nie Fengzhi served as the commander of the 5th Division of the Jiaodong Military Region, the chief of staff, deputy commander, chief of staff and commander of the 9th Column of the East China Field Army, and the commander of the 27th Army of the Third Field Army.
In 1955, Nie Fengzhi was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
Xie Zhenhua, commander of the 30th Army.
Xie Zhenhua participated in the revolution in 1930, during the Red Army, he mainly played the role of political commissar, responsible for the political work of the army, served as the political commissar of the 14th Regiment of the Red Fifth Division, during the Anti-Japanese War, Xie Zhenhua served as the political commissar of the Special Service Group of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, in 1940, he was supposed to be sent behind enemy lines in Shandong, and unexpectedly stayed in the fifth column of the Eighth Route Army of the old chief Huang Kecheng. After the Southern Anhui Incident, the New Fourth Army was rebuilt, and Xie Zhenhua served as the commander of the 24th Regiment of the Eighth Brigade of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, and later served as the political commissar.
During the War of Liberation, Xie Zhenhua did not go to the northeast with the troops, but stayed in Central China to persist in the struggle, mainly serving as the political commissar of the military sub-district. Behind enemy lines, he successively served as deputy political commissar, deputy commander, and commander of the 12th Column. And when he was 33 years old, he became the commander of the 30th Army of Sanye. In 1955, at the age of 39, Xie Zhenhua was awarded the rank of major general.
In 1985, the ** Military Commission decided to disarm one million, and the Kunming Military Region, where he was the political commissar, was also abolished. Originally, he could have been a political commissar at the Academy of Military Sciences, but unfortunately he refused, but insisted on standing on the last shift and doing a good job in the aftermath of the former Kunming Military Region.
In fact, he still had the opportunity to raise his rank again in 1988. In 1988, the military rank system was reinstated, and another major award was carried out, and many of the former founding major generals were promoted to generals. It is a pity that Xie Zhenhua was willing to give up his seat to a younger comrade and missed out on the general.
