The commander of the Yibei Military Region was named Qian Jun, who was later awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
Speaking of this commander Qian Jun, he is a personal figure.

In 1929, he joined the Red Army, and when he was the captain of the pistol team in the Eyu-Anhui Border Special Zone, he also captured an enemy plane, which caused a sensation in the base area at that time.

He was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955 and died on 13 April 1990 at the age of 85.
The political commissar of the Yibei Military Region, his name was Huo Shilian, so where did he go later? Why aren't military ranks awarded?
This Huo Shilian is a native of Xinzhou, Shanxi, born in 1909, has been reading books for many years, he longed for revolution when he was in school, he was a civil servant of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee of the Kuomintang, and at the end of 1935 he came to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, and successively served as the chief of the propaganda section of the Guanzhong Special Committee in northern Shaanxi and the secretary general of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border (Special) District Committee.

At the beginning of 1948, Huo Shilian was transferred out of the Yishan area, so where did he go later?
Originally, the organization considered that the large army was about to cross the Yangtze River and liberate a large area of rich land in the south of the Jiangnan, which required a large number of cadres going south, so he was sent to organize a working group of cadres going south to make preparations for the liberation and takeover of Zhejiang Province and the allocation of leading bodies at all levels.
From September 1949, Huo Shilian began 16 years of administrative work in Zhejiang, successively serving as the main leadership position of Zhejiang Province and the president of Zhejiang University, making important contributions to Zhejiang's economic construction and social development. Later, he was transferred to Shaanxi, Ningxia, the Ministry of Agriculture, Shanxi and other places to hold major leadership positions, leaving in 1992 and dying in 1996 at the age of 87.
