1955 was a special year for many Chinese military experts. This is because after several years of development, our army's modernization and regularization construction has a solid political and material foundation. As a result, the military rank system was born, and after the sixth meeting was adopted, it was decided to award the title for the first time in September of that year. Among them, there are 10 marshals, 10 generals, 57 generals, 177 lieutenant generals, and 807 major generals, so who is the first among so many outstanding generals?
First of all, the number of major generals is relatively large, and the first major general should be the solution. He was a graduate of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, had joined the Northeast Army in his early years, and had become a member of the Red Army in 1936. The Xie side has the ability to argue, but also the talent of planning, all the way from the War of Resistance to the War of Liberation and then to the Korean Battlefield. Speaking of eloquence first, the most outstanding one should be on the Korean battlefield, where a clever mouth makes the US military dumbfounded. Not to mention the plot, every time Commander Peng encountered a major event that was hesitant to decide, he would shout to the communicator zhuge Liang to come. This Zhuge Liang is the solution, in addition, Peng always likes to train people, but the solution is an exception every time.
The first lieutenant general should be counted Xu Liqing, who joined the Red Army in 1929 and has since participated in successive campaigns such as anti-encirclement and suppression, long march, anti-sweeping, yan'an defense war, and liberation of the northwest. It is said that Xu Liqing is not only meritorious, but also very modest, able to seek perfection. For example, he once gave way, gave way, and gave way, and in 1950 he was responsible for the rating work, but he took the initiative to downgrade his main corps rank to deputy corps level.
In 1955, he presided over the conferment of the title, voluntarily ceded the rank of general to lieutenant general, and then considered the body several times and proposed that he could go to the local or provincial deputy post. His open-mindedness was admirable, and he was a model for leading by example at the time, and everyone knew him to be fair and decent.
The first general, Xiao Ke, was once a student of the fourth phase of Huangpu, and his life can be called experienced in hundreds of battles. From the Northern Expedition To the Liberation War, it witnessed most of the history of modern wars, and was among the top among the famous generals in the four fields. At that time, young generals could also be ranked among the ranks, 24-year-old as a military commander, 27-year-old leading the Red Sixth Army to advance the western expedition. Not only was he able to use martial arts, but he could also write, and after liberation, he led more than a hundred experts and scholars to compile the "General History of Chinese Culture". In fact, his rank could have been higher, and when Xu Guangda let the marshal, he also specifically mentioned his name.
The first general, Su Yu, began the revolution in 1927, participated in the Nanchang Uprising, and entered Jinggangshan. During the Long March, guerrilla warfare was organized in the south, and during the War of Resistance, it was in the Jiangnan Headquarters and the Northern Jiangsu Command, and liberation participated in the Battle of Gaoyou, the Battle of Menglianggu, the Battle of Huaihai, and so on. Similarly, there were countless military achievements, and he originally evaluated the rank of marshal, whether it was seniority, prestige or battle merit. But General Su resigned, and still thought that the generals were tall enough, and the great man had personally said that General Su must be the head of the generals.
Finally, the First Marshal Zhu Laozong, who graduated from the Yunnan Daowu Hall, also made great achievements in battle. In the early years, he was one of the main people in the Nanchang Uprising, and in 1928, he went to Jinggangshan with General Chen, laying the foundation for the main force of the people's army. It is said that when he went to Jinggangshan that year, the great man also deliberately changed into a new military uniform in order to see him neatly. He participated in the revolution for seventy years, experienced many tribulations and dangers, and made immortal contributions to the cause of liberation.
