In fact, he has made outstanding contributions in the army, trusted by his comrades-in-arms, admired by his subordinates, and in terms of his personal ability and many outstanding achievements, even if he was selected as a general at the first award ceremony after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, in the end, he was not elected, although this is a bit regrettable, but he himself does not care about this, no matter how outstanding his resume is for him, he hopes that the people can really get the freedom, democracy and stable and happy life they want, and this is also the original intention that a communist should always adhere to.
More and more people are collecting information and wanting to know more about him, and in the process, they unexpectedly discover his magnificent life of selfless dedication to the motherland and the revolutionary cause.
During the war years, he initially devoted a lot of time and energy to the work of military transportation in the army. While striving to accomplish various important tasks assigned by the organization, he constantly summed up his experience, reflected on himself again and again, and made his military quality stronger, which played a key role in many battles.
Through his efforts again and again, he unleashed more talents on the battlefield and became famous in the army, becoming a very trusted combat partner and an important organizational figure for his comrades-in-arms. But every time the fruits of victory did not make him lose his way, but continued to maintain a modest attitude, concerned about his subordinates, the people and the overall situation of the country, while taking care of his comrades-in-arms, he quickly improved his personal ability, so far, he was successively entrusted with important tasks by the organization, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he became one of the first members of the seven major congresses of our party. Behind this, it is the result of his countless days and nights of struggle.
Compared with some of the founding generals at the 1955 award ceremony, his status was higher than theirs, and the speed of development was faster than theirs, after all, some people were only among the alternate members at that time, and it was clear which was higher and which was lower. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, so the war in which the *** participates, the opportunity to perform and the pressure to bear are also greater.
He had been a military and political partner with the "fourth general" Chen Geng, and in the later stage of the Liberation War, he also cooperated with ***, and at that time his identity was very prominent, serving as the political commissar of the Taiyue Column and the political commissar of the North China Military Region. In addition to these, he also received the guidance of "nobles".
In 1945, he served under the command of Liu Deng's army, they were all marshal-level tasks, and later achievements and fame were well-known, at that time he was serving as the deputy political commissar of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, and followed the two leaders, learned a lot of valuable knowledge, further tapped their own talents, and laid a solid foundation for the follow-up in the fields of politics and the military.
To sum up, the best army is rich in qualifications, and is loved and trusted by everyone, it is not surprising that his name is on the list of selected generals, if he can be selected, it is reasonable and reasonable.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was transferred to other posts, and his contacts with the army became less and less, and his focus was gradually placed on the economic construction of the motherland.
It is also because of the remarkable achievements made in this area that many people gradually changed their attention and evaluation to the political and economic fields, but they did not know that his own military ability was very good, not only on the battlefield where he needed to throw his head and shed blood, but also in the rear of the enemy, he could do his best to ensure the completion of the task.
Among them, many people must have heard of Yan Xishan, the first big man in Shanxi, and the person who checked and balanced him at that time was *** During the period of non-constant mediation, he integrated the anti-Japanese forces in Shanxi and established the foundation of the regime and the people's army. It can be seen from this that his overall view and coordination ability are extraordinary.
In order to strengthen the revolutionary troops and unite the masses to resist the war, he also took the lead in founding the "Youth Anti-Enemy Death Squad" and introduced the "political commissar system" in management. During the War of Liberation, he effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Kuomintang army, instigated the Gao Shuxun uprising, and greatly improved the morale of our party and our army in winning the fruits of victory on the battlefield. From this, it can be seen that his organizational and political talents are outstanding.
** He can be described as an all-rounder, and he has many outstanding points in the army. Unfortunately, he was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang reactionaries, so that in 1931-1936, when he was imprisoned and his life was not known whether there was a way to save it, what he could do was limited, and it was for this reason that he had no choice but to miss the opportunity to participate in some important events in the Long March and the Agrarian Revolutionary War.
From this point of view, there is indeed a certain gap between him and the generals who were shortlisted later, and he is not a military chief in the traditional sense, but there are no absolutes in everything, and Tan Zheng, a pure political cadre, is an exception.
