In 1955, the whole army launched the activity of conferring military ranks to commend cadres at all levels who had made outstanding contributions to the establishment of New China during the revolutionary war years, and also to strengthen the regularization of the troops.
At the 1955 award ceremony, Nie Heting, deputy commander of the armored corps, was emotional because he was dissatisfied with the fact that only lieutenant general was awarded, and rushed to the office of the head of the general cadre department to make a big noise, ignoring the criticism of ***.
** insisted on the evaluation in accordance with the organizational standards, and emphasized that the evaluation work is complex, the interests of multiple parties must be taken into account, and the overall situation must be obeyed. Nie Heting didn't listen and left directly, which made *** even more angry.
** Knowing that Nie Heting has a lot of qualifications, this is also the main reason why he is dissatisfied with his military rank. So why does Nie Heting have such a rich experience? It turned out that as early as 1925, he devoted himself to patriotism, and then joined Ye Ting's Independent Regiment as a platoon commander and participated in the Northern Expedition.
In the August 1 Nanchang Uprising, Nie Heting served as the platoon commander, while Su Yu was the squad leader of the guard squad under him, responsible for the guard tasks of the general headquarters. As Su Yu's platoon commander, Nie Heting's qualifications should not be underestimated.
Su Yu's deep friendship with Nie Heting has not changed due to the promotion of his position, even after becoming the head of the regiment, Su Yu still affectionately calls him the old platoon leader, fully demonstrating his respect for Nie Heting.
Nie Heting performed well in the Guangzhou Uprising and made great achievements in the capture of Guangzhou City. However, due to the increase of the enemy's troops, the uprising finally failed, and Nie Heting came to Jinggangshan under the arrangement of the party, and was cordially received by *** and others.
He was quickly appointed chief of the operations section of the headquarters of the 1st Red Army Corps and participated in the arduous Long March.
Nie Heting was an outstanding general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, who served as chief of staff of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and made important contributions to achieving brilliant results.
During the War of Liberation, he served as the commander of the Northern Liaobei Military Region and served as the deputy chief of staff of Siye, showing outstanding military talent and leadership. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nie Heting continued to serve as deputy commander of the armored corps and made important contributions to national defense construction and development.
Although his position was somewhat low after the Liberation War, his contribution was indelible. In general, Nie Heting had a brilliant revolutionary experience and held many important positions.
His contributions were not only during the early War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also after the War of Liberation and the founding of New China. He is a people's hero who deserves our respect and remembrance.
The issue of Nie Heting and Wang Ping's military ranks has attracted the attention of ***. ** Knowing Nie Heting's temper and temperament, he believes that Nie Heting will make wrong decisions in some cases.
Taking into account his thoughts and attitude, the Military Commission decided to suspend the granting of the rank of Nie Heting. Although Nie Heting was not awarded the rank in 1955, ***'s understanding and evaluation of him is still pertinent and accurate.
After the Nanchang Uprising, ** had a dispute with ** and left the army, but later proved that **'s decision was correct. In Jinggangshan, he apologized to **. The post of vice chairman of the Military Commission, ** was the first to object, believing that Mr. Lin's qualifications were not enough.
However, ** still respects Nie Heting's qualifications and hopes that he will obey the organization and recognize his mistakes.
Under the patient persuasion and education of ***, General Nie Heting gradually calmed down and made a frank reflection on his impulsiveness and rashness. In consideration of his profound reflection and outstanding contributions, the Military Commission officially awarded him the rank of lieutenant general in 1956, which is the highest recognition of his military career.
