Xu Shiyou, Huang Yongsheng, and Li Tianyou are all famous founding generals, and they are all invincible tiger generals with outstanding military achievements. There is a veteran who is the commander of the military region, and they can only be subordinate to the deputy commander and become the deputy of the veteran.
Who is this veteran?
He is Zhang Yunyi. At the beginning of 1949, the Huaihai Battle ended victoriously and the new Shandong Military Region was established, with Xu Shiyou as the first deputy commander and Yuan Yelie as the second deputy commander. The commander is Zhang Yunyi, and the political commissar is Kang Sheng.
During that period, the Shandong Military Region sent telegrams to the East China Military Region and **, often signed by 4 people, namely Zhang Yunyi, Kang Sheng, Xu Shiyou and Yuan Yelie. Zhang Yunyi took the lead, and Xu Shiyou's name came last. Zhang Yunyi became Xu Shiyou's top boss.
Why is the commander of the Shandong Military Region not Xu Shiyou, but Zhang Yunyi? Zhang Yunyi's revolutionary credentials are too old. He is 14 years older than Xu Shiyou, more than one round. When Zhang Yunyi participated in the Huanghuagang Uprising, Xu Shiyou was still a doll at the foot of the mountain in Xinxian County, Henan.
The military headquarters of the New Fourth Army was rebuilt, ** served as the acting commander, and Zhang Yunyi was the deputy commander. There is also an East China Military Region coexisting with the East China Field Army, and the commanders are all **. The deputy commander of the East China Field Army was Su Yu, and the deputy commander of the East China Military Region was Zhang Yunyi.
Zhang Yunyi and Su Yu are at the same level and are Xu Shiyou's chiefs. Therefore, after the liberation of Shandong, Zhang Yunyi served as the commander, and Xu Shiyou and others were the deputies. It was not until Zhang Yunyi was transferred away that Xu Shiyou took over as commander of the Shandong Military Region.
In 1955, Zhang Yunyi was the general, and Xu Shiyou was the founding general. It is rumored that Xu Shiyou wants to compete for the general, but he is not qualified at all. His top boss Zhang Yunyi is an old qualification, and he can only rank seventh among the top ten generals.
At the end of 1949, the Fourth Field Army marched into Liangguang, Guangxi was about to be liberated, and the Guangxi Military Region was established. There are as many as three deputy commanders, the first deputy commander is Huang Yongsheng, the second deputy commander is Li Tianyou, and the third deputy commander is Peng Mingzhi.
They were all tiger generals on the Northeast battlefield back then, but they were willing to hold deputy positions together. Who can deter these tiger generals? It was Zhang Yunyi. Zhang Yunyi was appointed commander and political commissar of the Guangxi Military Region.
During the Liberation War, Zhang Yunyi and Huang Yongsheng had little intersection, Zhang Yunyi always fought in the East China battlefield, while Huang Yongsheng was in the Northeast. Even during the War of Resistance Against Japan, they had little to do with each other. Li Tianyou is Zhang Yunyi's old subordinate of the Red Seventh Army.
During the Red Army period, everyone was the general of the Red Army, Huang Yongsheng and Li Tianyou were both division-level generals, and Zhang Yunyi was the commander of the Red Seventh Army.
Guangxi was mainly liberated by the Fourth Field Army, Huang Yongsheng led the 13th Corps all the way to the pass, and Liu Zhen led the 39th Army to plant the red flag to Zhennan Pass. However, after the liberation of Guangxi, neither Huang Yongsheng nor Li Tianyou and Liu Zhen served as commanders, and their qualifications were insufficient.
Only Zhang Yunyi is the most suitable candidate. At the beginning, when Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi Gui warlords ruled Guangxi, Zhang Yunyi was engaged in revolution in Guangxi. In 1929, Zhang Yunyi led the Guangxi Baise Uprising together with ***, and many generals of the Red Seventh Army were from Guangxi, such as Wei Guoqing, Li Tianyou, and so on.
Back then, Zhang Yunyi led the Red Seventh Army to fight out of Guangxi, and now that it is liberated, they have fought back. Many fathers and elders in Guangxi still remember Zhang Yunyi's name, so Zhang Yunyi served as the first commander of the military region.
After 1955, Xu Shiyou and Huang Yongsheng both took the leadership positions of commanders of the large military region, and they served as commanders of the large military region for a long time, and their positions were extremely prominent. At that time, Zhang Yunyi was unable to work for a long time because of poor health, and was recuperating and recuperating.
No matter when, Xu Shiyou, Huang Yongsheng and others saw Zhang Yunyi, and they had to respectfully call out to the old chief.
