General Guo Huaruo was one of the few cultural people among the founding generals. He held an important position during the Red Army, but he was snubbed for 6 years because of the "Trotskyist" problem.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the chairman made him the chief of staff of the division, but he did not do it, and in Yan'an for 8 years, he started to work as a staff officer and a military academy.
Speaking of Guo Huaruo, from the perspective of his educational background, he attended the Whampoa Military Academy and later studied at the Moscow Artillery School. After returning to China, he was heavily used in the ranks of the Red Army.
He served as chief of staff of the Red 1st Army, chief of staff of the Red 1st Front, and acting chief of staff, assisting Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu in their work.
After 1931, chairman Mao was expelled from the leadership of the Red Army, and he was also excluded. For a while, he served as Chairman Mao's secretary, and his relationship was also very close.
In 1932, he was framed as a "Trotskyist" and, after being expelled from the Party, went to the University of the Red Army as a faculty member. During the Long March, he worked in the cadre regiment, and when the troops arrived at Maogong and the Red Fourth Front, he went to the Red Army University as the director of the training department and the chief of education of the infantry school of the Anti-Japanese Red Army University.
At that time, he was wearing a "Trotskyist" hat, which had not been reused, and he was engaged in military education.
It was not until 1937, when the War of Resistance broke out in full swing, that the main force of the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and Chairman Mao asked him to go to the 115th Division as the chief of staff. He has some concerns, one is that his historical problems have not been clarified, and the other is that he is physically ill and wants to ease up.
At that time, the main force of the Red Army was downsized into 3 divisions, and the cadres had many posts and fewer posts, resulting in many commanders becoming non-staff personnel. By the time he hesitated, the 115th Division had a new candidate. He regretted that he had not been able to go to the front line of the War of Resistance.
In 1938, his historical problems were rehabilitated and his membership in the Party was restored.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he stayed in Yan'an for 8 years, initially serving as a high counselor, and then engaged in military education in the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
It was not until the Liberation War that he went to the front line, served as deputy commander of the column, political commissar, and political commissar of the corps, and became the military commander of the front-line troops.
