In 1977, the situation in the country gradually stabilized, and the posts of Deputy Chairman of the Military Commission and Chief of the General Staff were restored. After returning to work, he still has many problems to face at this time, and one of the most important problems is the reorganization of the people's army.
At that time, the situation of aging within the army was somewhat serious, and many important positions in the army still did not have the shadow of young people. In order to train the cadres of the army, he named and promoted a young general, this person is named ***
At that time, ***, who had just received an appointment from ***, was a little confused, and he was going to serve as deputy chief of the general staff, which was something that no one expected. You must know that at this time, the General Staff had a number of founding fathers, and several deputy chiefs of the General Staff were mainly Li Da and others, who were either founding generals or lieutenant generals, all of whom had sufficient qualifications.
In contrast, the experience of ** was much worse, so he was not prepared in his own heart.
So, in the face of this rare opportunity, he repeatedly asked for refusal, but did not approve it. Many people around me have certain concerns about holding such a position.
Considering his concerns, I took the initiative to talk to him. This time, *** said to him cordially: "Don't worry, in the future, there will be many comrades like you in the cadres of the central department." I called you here to share the burden for us "old guys"! ”
These words dispelled ***'s concerns, so why did *** choose ***?
** At the age of 16, he joined the Eighth Route Army, and after entering the army, he never gave up studying, and later worked in the Jiaodong Military Region. ** Not only has a cultural foundation, but is also extremely heroic on the battlefield.
In the Battle of Shanghai, ** once led two soldiers and captured more than a thousand enemies, which made the commander of the 27th Army look at this young man with admiration. Since then, ** has become a famous hero in the army, experienced the test of the Liberation War, and ** has become a more mature soldier.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, ** set foot on the battlefield with the troops, and in the famous Battle of Changjin Lake, ** took the lead and led the troops to capture many enemy positions in a row. At that time, the fighting environment of the Volunteer Army was very harsh, and most of the soldiers were frozen to death and frostbitten on the battlefield.
As a northerner, ** has experience in dealing with the cold, and he imparts his experience in frost prevention and frostbite treatment to the soldiers below. Under his leadership, the number of non-combat attrition of the troops was greatly reduced, and the combat effectiveness was well maintained, which led the troops to make more achievements. On the Korean battlefield, ** once again became a hero in the army. Since then, the young hero has become the focus of tissue training.
Although *** is a prestige that is fought by real swords and guns on the battlefield, he does not rely only on bravery, he was well educated in his early years, and he has never given up learning. In the army, he attaches great importance to political work, he is very good at this work, and has made use of good political work ability on the battlefield many times to fully enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. Later, ** devoted himself to the construction of the army, and he has been improving himself through learning.
In the process of modernizing and reforming the troops, ** has made great contributions. This is the main factor in choosing him, whether it is the past experience or the ability shown in the work, ** has proved himself. With the support of ***, ** entered the General Staff and served as the director of the Political Department. Although his qualifications are not enough, he has won everyone's recognition by relying on his work ability.
Since then, as the older generation of revolutionaries have withdrawn from front-line posts, a large number of young generals have begun to hold important positions in the army. ** Undoubtedly, one of these young men is the most outstanding, and during his tenure, he led a series of modernization reforms in the military, which have had a huge impact on the development of national defense. ** He also attaches great importance to the ideological work of the army, and his previous many years of political work experience have been fully applied to practical work and have achieved good results.
Over the years, ** through their own achievements, it has proved that the vision of ***. He took over the mantle of his predecessors and became more and more senior in the army. In 1987, he officially served as the chief of the General Staff, and eight years later, he became the vice chairman of the Military Commission.
The former combat heroes have become the pillars of national defense, and the promotion of young people was for the future of the army. If there is no platform and space to play, it will be difficult for young people to grow up, and the army cannot always rely on the elderly to develop, so that more young generals can grow up and support the people's army, which is extremely important for the country.
