After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country awarded the ranks of marshal, general, general, lieutenant general, major general and other military ranks to those generals who had made great achievements in battle, followed by the size of their meritorious service and their contributions to the revolution. However, most of these founding generals were from civilian origins, and they embarked on the revolutionary road because they could not live any longer. It is only by studying war in war and growing up in artillery fire that they have forged a group of fierce generals who can fight good battles.
Although few of the founding generals received formal military education, several of them graduated from regular military academies. Like Mr. Zhu, Mr. Ye Shuai, Mr. Peng, and Nie Shuai are all graduates of regular military academies. Among the founding generals, the largest number of students graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, mainly because the Whampoa Military Academy was jointly founded by two parties, so there are many generals in both the Chiang Kai-shek clique and our camp who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. This is also why some people later said that during the Liberation War, there was a war between classmates, because the senior generals on both sides graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.
Ye Shuai
So, today Xiaobian will introduce to you how many people in the founding marshals, generals, and admirals have graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy!
Four of the ten marshals came out of the Whampoa Military Academy, but please note that two of them taught at the Whampoa Military Academy and were not graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy. The first was Nie Shuai, who was serving as a secretary and political instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy at the time, and was not a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy. Another was Ye Shuai, who graduated from the Yunnan DaowuTang and was later sent to the Whampoa Military Academy as an instructor, and was also appreciated by the principal Chiang Kai-shek, who awarded him the rank of major general and tried to win Ye Shuai over many times, but failed. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the 412 Incident, Ye Shuai completely broke with Chiang Kai-shek.
There are only two students who actually graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and became the founding marshals. The first was Marshal Xu Qianqian, who graduated from the first phase of Huangpu, who was a Huangpu graduate of the Eight Classics, who performed mediocrely in the military academy and was not favored by the principal Chiang Kai-shek. However, it must be said that Chiang Kai-shek's vision is indeed not very good, And Xu Shuai, who graduated from the Huangpu Phase I, did not find out, and said that this student (Xu Shuai) will not have much success in the future.
Xu Shuai
However, during the period of land reform, Xu Shuai was the best of the ten marshals, commanding many battles with fewer victories, and later due to physical reasons, he participated in fewer battles, but during the Liberation War, he still added a wonderful page to his military career. Destroying the Yan Xishan military group with 60,000 troops made an important contribution to the liberation of Shanxi.
The second was Lin Zong, who graduated from the fourth term of Huangpu, and Chiang Kai-shek missed Xu Shuai and lin zong, because Lin Zong's grades at the Whampoa Military Academy were very ordinary, so he did not attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention. However, during the later Liberation War, Lin Zong became a gravedigger of the Chiang family dynasty, Chiang Kai-shek called him the devil of war, and he also proved himself with his military talent and actions, defeating the seniors and apprentices.
However, among the generals, three graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. The first is General Chen Geng , probably among all the founding generals , as long as he graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy , he is the most famous, one of the three masters of the Whampoa Military Academy, Chiang Kai-shek's beloved general. However, The military ability of General Chen Geng is also one of the best among the founding generals, and it is indeed outstanding, and it is no wonder that Chiang Kai-shek loves him so much.
Luo Ruiqing
The other two are Xu Guangda, who graduated from the Fifth Phase of Huangpu, and Luo Ruiqing, two senior generals, who are both students of the Fifth Phase of Huangpu. In fact, most of the famous generals in this period were later generals of our camp, while there was only one Zheng Tingdi in the Camp of Chiang Kai-shek of the Nationalist Army, who was later captured during the Liberation War.
Among the 57 founding generals, 7 also graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, namely Zhou Shidi, Chen Mingren, Zhang Zongxun, Yang Zhicheng, Song Shilun, Chen Bojun, Guo Tianmin and other generals. Among them, This Chen Mingren revolted in the Liberation War and was later awarded the rank of general. Although these seven have received formal military education, among the founding generals, these are not the best generals. Generals like Ye Fei, Deng Hua, Liu Zhen, Han Xianchu, Yang Dezhi, Yang Yong, Yang Chengwu, and Chen Xilian, although they had never attended a regular military academy, they were no worse off than the seven generals who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. Therefore, the actual combat experience of war is more important than military theory.
However, among the lieutenant generals and major generals, there are also those who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, namely Yan Yiyao, Peng Mingzhi, Chang Qiankun, Tang Tianji, Zeng Zesheng, Ni Zhiliang, Guo Huaruo, Tan Xilin, and Wang Yi. There were also 8 major generals, including Yuan Yelie, Cao Guanghua, Li Yimin, Fang Zhong, Flood, Liao Yunzhou, Zhang Kaijing, and Zhou Wenzai.
