1935 5438+00 In June, the Central Red Army reached Wuqi in northern Shaanxi after difficulties and obstacles, and successfully ended the Long March. 165438+1At the beginning of October, the First Longitudinal Detachment of the Workers and Peasants Red Army resumed the designation of the Red Army. At the age of 28, Lin Biao was appointed as the head of the Red Army. At this time, the Red Army Corps had only the Red Second Division and the Red Fourth Division. According to the "three-thirds system" principle of our army, the Red Army Corps is still short of 1 division.

1936 65438+ 10, the Red Army Corps reorganized all its directly affiliated regiments into Red First Division and five division heads. Chen Geng, the division commander, was awarded a general after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the heads of the four divisions he teamed up with were also great. 1 General, 2 General, 1 Minister of National Defense. Who are they?

First of all, Chen Geng, a teacher, was born in Xiangxiang, Hunan Province in February, 1903. He was born in Huangpu Phase I, Lin Biao's brother, and many famous figures of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, such as Xu, Hu Zongnan, Chen Mingren, Zuo Quan, Huang Wei and Du Fu, were all classmates of Chen Geng. But Chen Geng is better than all of them, because he is known as one of the "Three Masters of Huangpu" and a proud disciple of Chiang Kai-shek, who saved the life of President Chiang Kai-shek.

1925 and 10, the National Revolutionary Army moved eastward and was attacked by warlord Chen Jiongming. After a mountain of defeat, Chiang Kai-shek refused to retreat. Chen Geng only ran a few miles behind President Jiang's back before turning the corner.

As we all know, Chen Geng is a fierce fighter. It can keep pace with Su Yu, and its ability to command a large corps is no less than that of Lin Biao. However, compared with their introverted personality, Chen Geng is a very humorous person. 1943 On a hot summer day, Chairman Mao spoke on the rostrum, and Chen Geng suddenly stood up.

Everyone thought he was going to speak, but he went straight to the chairman on the stage and drank all the water in the chairman's cup at one breath. Then he gave a standard military salute and said, "It's too hot. Please borrow a glass of water from the chairman. " All the people present at the lecture laughed and cried after reading it.

Chen Geng has rich combat experience all his life. Participated in Nanchang Uprising on August 1st, 1927/KLOC-0, then fought against Japanese and Kuomintang troops, fought against French troops in Vietnam, and fought against United Nations troops led by the United States in Korea. If we talk about the meritorious military service alone, Chen Geng can only rank behind Su Yu in the general, ranking fourth. I'm really sorry for his qualifications, but Chen Geng never takes this seriously. Maybe this is a jealous genius. Chen Geng died in March of 196 1 at the age of 58.

Secondly, Chen Geng's partner Yang Chengwu, a native of Changting, Fujian, was born in 19 14, younger than Chen Geng 1 1 year. This shows that he is outstanding as a political commissar of the first division. During the Long March, Yang Chengwu served as the political commissar of the Red Fourth Regiment, shouldering the vanguard task of the Central Red Army, and successively broke through the four blockade lines of the Kuomintang army, fighting bloody battles in Xiangjiang River, Wujiang River and Loushanguan, and was called "Zhao Zilong in the Army" by Chairman Mao.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Chengwu was the head of the independent regiment of 1 15 Division. Because of Yang Chengwu's strong calling ability, the independent group expanded from more than 700 people to more than 7,000 people, and Yang Chengwu was also upgraded to be the independent division commander of the Eighth Route Army.

In the famous Huangtuling ambush, Yang Chengwu commanded the troops to kill the Japanese "Flower of the Famous Star", which shocked the Japanese ruling and opposition parties. Japanese newspapers in Lian Deng published an article entitled "The Withered Celebrity Flowers on Taihang Mountain" for three consecutive days.

195 1 year, Yang Chengwu led the 20th Corps to fight in Korea, and participated in the summer and autumn defense campaign on the eastern front of Korea. Li Xiang, the commander of the 67th Army under his command, was infected with the bacterial weapons dropped by the US military. It was only eight days before and after his illness and death. He was the supreme commander of the volunteers who died on the Korean battlefield.

1955, Yang Chengwu was awarded the rank of general, and later served as commander of Beijing Military Region and Fuzhou Military Region, organizing and directing the shelling of Kinmen. He died in 2004 at the age of 90.

Then there is Yang Dezhi, an assistant teacher, born in191kloc-0/,a native of Liling, Hunan. He and Yang Chengwu are also called "Three Yang", and Chairman Mao even called him "Iliad". 1928 after the uprising in southern Hunan, Yang Dezhi joined forces with Zhu De in Jinggangshan and was assigned to the special company of Gongsijun. At this time GongSiJun commander is Lin Biao. After five counter-campaigns against "encirclement and suppression", Yang Dezhi became the head of the Red League.

Han Xianchu's troops are called "whirlwind troops", and the characteristics of Yang Dezhi's war are the same as his, that is, the soldiers are expensive and fast. Flying soldiers broke through Wujiang River, forced the Dadu River, fought for Qingfengdian and besieged Xin 'an security, all of which were masterpieces of Yang Dezhi's war career. Especially in 1935, Yang Dezhi organized 17 warriors to cross the Dadu River in Anshun Pass, which made the Central Red Army survive again and shattered Chiang Kai-shek's dream of "the second Shi Dakai".

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Yang Dezhi was awarded the rank of general in 1955, and served as the commander of Jinan, Wuhan and Kunming. 1979, aged 68, commanded the western front to defend itself against Vietnam and became the chief of staff of our army after the war. 1994 10, Yang Dezhi died in Beijing at the age of 83.

Then chief of staff Geng Biao, 1909 was born in Liling, Hunan, just like Yang Dezhi. As a teenager, Yang Dezhi worked as a coal digger in Anyuan Coal Mine, and Geng Biao worked as a child laborer in lead-zinc mine. Their cruel exploitation led them to the revolutionary road. 1930, Geng Biao joined the 9th division of the Red Army, with Huang Gonglue as the division commander, Chen Yi as the political commissar and Mao Zetan as the director of the political department.

At the beginning of the Long March, Geng Biao was the head of the Red Fourth Regiment and the political commissar was Yang Chengwu. Both of them paved the way for the Central Red Army, and Chairman Mao wrote many letters to praise Geng Biao. During the War of Liberation, Geng Biao served as the chief of staff of the field army and the Corps. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and did not participate in the conferment of 1955. But in his later years, Geng Biao returned to work in the army and served as the Minister of National Defense. Geng Biao, the oldest of the five, died in Beijing at the age of 9 1.

Finally, Tan Zheng, director of the Political Department, has a close relationship with Chen Geng. Both of them are from Xiangxiang, Hunan. When I was young, I studied at Tan's clan private school and Qixingqiao Primary School. They were classmates for three years, and Tan Zheng later married Chen Geng's own sister. Both of them were awarded the rank of general on 1955.

Tan Zheng 1927 participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising in September, and later worked as a secretary for Chairman Mao. He has a high political theory accomplishment and is an excellent political worker in our army. Chairman Mao spoke highly of him, saying: Tan Zheng is a politician. But in fact, Tan Zheng is both civil and military. During the battle of Meizhou in Guangzhou from 65438 to 0929, Luo Ronghuan was seriously injured. Tan Zheng and his comrades braved the enemy's bullets and carried him off the battlefield. Tan Zheng died on 1988 at the age of 82.

Look at the five members of the head team of the Red First Division after reconstruction. 1955 chose two generals and two generals. Geng Biao became the Minister of National Defense, without a title, and it is no problem to award generals according to their qualifications. This leadership team lineup can be described as a star-studded, quite brilliant and successful.
