Speaking of the three Yangs in the army, I believe that everyone is more familiar with them, and they are the three generals of our party who fought bravely and fiercely in battle and fought fiercely, Yang Yong, and Yang Chengwu. They were all the best of the founding generals, and at the same time, during the Liberation War, they held the position of commander of the corps, including, and later, they all participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, so they were very famous. Among them, Yang Dezhi and Yang Yong also served as the third and fourth commanders of the Volunteer Army. As a result, later, the three generals Yang Dezhi, Yang Yong, and Yang Chengwu developed well, and also held the posts of chief of the general staff and deputy chief of the general staff of our country, so they became well-known founding generals.
However, in the revolutionary ranks, except for the more well-known military Sanyang. In fact, it is still circulating that the theory of the three Xiao and the two kings is to put it bluntly, that is, in the revolutionary ranks, there are three generals with outstanding military achievements who are surnamed Xiao, and there are two fierce generals who can fight well and are surnamed Wang, so the saying of the three Xiao and two kings is also circulated in the army. So, do you know which five founding generals are referred to by this "Three Xiao and Two Kings"?
All of them are from the Fourth Field Army during the Liberation War, and friends who may be familiar with history know that the commander of the 12th Corps in Siye is surnamed Xiao and named Jinguang. That is, the later famous naval commander Xiao Jinguang, he was also a legendary figure, in the military career only promoted twice, to the top, the rank of general, and concurrently served as the commander of the navy. Such an experience, among all the founding generals, only Xiao Jinguang was the only one. You know, in the position of commander of the Navy, he also created a miracle, achieving the miracle of being a naval commander for one day and a naval commander for life. To put it bluntly, since he became the commander of the Navy, since this moment, there has been no change of people, and Xiao Jinguang has worked directly until retirement.
The second of the three Xiao refers to Xiao Ke, the head of the founding generals, who was originally the chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army, and was also the deputy commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the deputy commander of the Red Second Front, and the commander of the Red Sixth Army. Judging from the positions he held during the revolutionary war, we know that Xiao Ke was also an important figure in the revolutionary war period of our party, and the rank of the post was not low, all of them were the rank of marshals and generals. At the same time, Xiao Ke was also very talented, creating a "Blood Luo Xiao", which won the honorary award of the third Mao Dun Literature Award, and was also a member of the Chinese Writers Association.
The third of the three Xiaos; refers to the famous doll commander Xiao Hua, you know, Xiao Hua participated in the revolution very early, it is said that when Grandpa Mao founded a cadre training class in Xingguo County, at that time, Xiao Hua was the youngest. However, because he was talented and quick to learn anything, he soon stood out among this group of trainees, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility at a young age, when he was the secretary of the county party committee at the age of 14, and became the policy of the International Division of the Young Communist Party at the age of 16, so Xiao Hua's doll commander was also obtained in this way.
It can be said that Xiao Hua was an outstanding political worker of our Party during the revolutionary war years. However, he also served as a column commander, commanded troops to fight, and belonged to a general who was both military and political. He was more adept at literary creation, and during the Long March, he wrote a lot of morale-boosting propaganda discourse. The most famous of these is the Long March Suite, which was later included in the 20th century Chinese classical music works.
The two kings in the army; respectively, refers to two fierce generals who can fight well. It should be known that the Second Field Army, the Third Corps, General Wang Jinshan, commander of the 12th Army, and Wang Bicheng, commander of the 24th Army of the Third Field Army, are all generals who belong to the type of bravery in battle on the battlefield. And they have many similarities, they are the ace generals of these two field armies, and the columns they command are the same as the sixth column. And these two generals are also hubei people. Wang Jinshan was a native of Hong'an, Hubei Province, and Wang Bicheng was a native of Macheng, Hubei Province, and both of the generals threw themselves into the revolution because of the riots of the Jute Uprising, and bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield, died nine times, and lived to the founding of New China, both of which were awarded the rank of founding lieutenant general in recognition of his contributions during the revolutionary war years.
In fact, among the founding generals, in addition to Wang Jinshan and Wang Bicheng, there is also a general surnamed Wang, who is also a hubei Hong'an person, and is a general who can be both military and political. He was General Wang Jian'an, commander of the Seventh Corps of the Third Field Army, a founding general whose style was very low-key, simple, and loved by the people.
