Among the founding colonels of New China, some of them have deep qualifications, high ranks and high achievements, and can be awarded lieutenant generals and major generals, such as Yin Xianbing and Chang Binggui. What did they do that missed the general to be awarded the rank of colonel?
Yin Xianbing, as early as 1930, joined the Red Fourth Front Army in the Eyu-Anhui base area, and successively rose from an ordinary soldier to a platoon commander, a company commander, a battalion commander, and a regimental chief of staff in the army, and followed the main force all the way from the Eyu-Anhui base area to the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as regimental chief of staff, regimental commander, brigade commander and commander of military sub-districts in the Eighth Route Army, and when he was a brigade commander, his deputy brigade commander Qin Jiwei and New China both became lieutenant generals.
During the liberation period, he was promoted from brigade commander all the way to deputy commander of the column, fought many major battles along the way, such as the Battle of Dingtao, the Battle of Crossing the River, etc., and later promoted to the commander of the Erye Army, and the political commissar Wang Huiqiu, who was partnered with him, became a lieutenant general after the founding of New China.
After the founding of New China, he was transferred to Fight in Korea and served as a military commander. Before returning to China to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, why was he finally awarded the rank of colonel? Yoon's personal life has been severely depraved, and he has been associated with many women, and has also led to suicide. Eventually the organization decided to deal with him, from lieutenant general to colonel. In 1983, he was reused and transferred to the deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region, but because of the death of his old superior, he also fell ill and died under the blow.
Chang Binggui, who joined the Red Army as early as 1930, started as a squad leader in the army and rose all the way to platoon commander, company commander, battalion commander, and regimental commander; during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as regimental chief of staff, deputy chief of staff of the column, deputy brigade commander, and commander of a military sub-district (brigade commander level).
During the liberation period, he served as the chief of staff of the column, the deputy commander of the military region, the chief of staff of the military region, and the deputy commander. After the founding of New China, he was also a deputy military officer. According to this rank, at least should be awarded major general, why did he eventually become a colonel. The root cause is the same as Yin Xianbing, caused by the degeneration of personal life.
Yin Xianbing and Chang Binggui had made great achievements in the war years, but they did not control their own bottom line, made mistakes, they could be awarded the title of colonel is already very good, should be satisfied.
