The Central Plains Field Army, referred to as Nakano, was also one of the five main field armies during the Liberation War, although in terms of numbers, Nakano was not as numerous as the East China Field Army and the Northeast Field Army, including the number of columns owned by others. It should be known that the East China Field Army has 10 columns, plus a special forces column, while the Northeast Field Army has 11 columns, as well as various types of artillery, cavalry, railway troops and so on. During the Liberation War, the Central Plains Field Army only had the strength of seven columns, don't look at the small number of Nakano columns, but the quality is very high, each column is the main column of Nakano, they are invincible on the battlefield. In particular, the commanders of the column were all famous generals who were shocked and alone.
For example, the commander of the first column is General Yang Yong, one of the famous three Yangs, who is a famous general who makes the enemy feel frightened and threatens the four sides on the battlefield. In terms of military command, Yang Yong is definitely a well-known and independent military general. In participating in the Central Plains Field Army and fighting with the enemy on the battlefield several times, Yang Yong made many achievements on the battlefield and defeated the enemy army. Especially in the campaign to liberate the southwest, the Fifth Corps led by him liberated Guizhou, joined hands with the brother corps to defeat the Song Xilian corps, eliminated Chiang Kai-shek's most important corps in the southwest campaign, and made great contributions to the victory of the southwest campaign.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the commander of the Guizhou Military Region, during which Time General Yang Yong commanded the troops, cleaned up the bandits and Xiangma in Guizhou, and gave the people of Guizhou a peaceful life. Later, he participated in the Campaign to Aid Korea, served as the commander of the Volunteer Army, and was also the commander of the last batch of Volunteers to return to China.
The commander of the Second Column is Chen Zaidao, a well-known and courageous general of our Party during the revolutionary war years. Chen Zaidao was a Red Army general who fought very well in the Red Army period, and because of this, he was praised by Grandpa Mao and Boss Peng, saying that Chen Zaidao was really a brave general.
Chen Zaidao, who fought bravely during the Red Army period, after experiencing the baptism of eight years of the War of Resistance, in the period of the Liberation War, was also a general who was famous and shook all directions and stood alone. He also served as the commander of the 2nd Column in Nakano, and participated in the command of the Battle of Handan, the Battle of Juye, the Battle of Southwest Lu, the Battle of Dabie Mountain, and the Battle of Huaihai. However, it is a pity that after the reorganization of the troops, the brave general Chen Zaidao was arranged to serve as a local commander in Henan, did not participate in the later Battle of Crossing the River, the Battle of Liberating the Great Southwest, and served as the commander of the Wuhan Military Region after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The commander of the third column was Chen Xilian, who was also a well-known general of our Party during the revolutionary war years. Chen Xilian's revolutionary experience was rich and colorful, he did not go to school, nor did he go to a military academy, but he was born as a cattle herder. But it was such a Chen Xilian who came out of the lowest level of society, and after participating in the revolution, he became an excellent and qualified military commander, and he was very outstanding.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander of the 129th Division, and led his troops to sneak attack yangmingbao airfield, blowing up all the Japanese planes parked at Yangming airport, effectively supporting the battles of Xinkou and Taiyuan. It was also because of this battle that General Chen Xilian's great name became a well-known hero of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the Eight Townships of Ten Miles. In the later period of the Liberation War, General Chen Xilian was also a big color, and made many meritorious achievements in the battle, known as the two golden flowers of Nakano, and the other was the crazy general Wang Jinshan.
After the victory in the revolutionary war, General Chen Xilian served as the commander of the artillery, and after more than 20 years in the position of commander of the Grand Military Region, he became the commander of the Grand Military Region with the longest term of office among the founding generals.
The commander of the Fourth Column was the well-known and well-known General Chen Geng in the world, who was considered to be one of the more prominent military commanders in military command among the founding generals, and had received good military education, and was one of the three masters of the Whampoa Military Academy. In the camp of the Central Plains Field Army, General Chen Geng's command ability was second only to that of commander Liu Shuai. More importantly, the fourth column under his command was a military combat unit operating alone in Nakano, under the direct command of his superiors. And once with the East China Field Army, the Central Plains Field Army jointly through the Central Plains, the three sides of each other's character-shaped strategy, mutual support.
At the same time, on the battlefield of liberation, General Chen Geng fought many victorious battles on the battlefield and made certain contributions to the victory of the liberation war. It should be known that his capable general Zhou Xihan was the fierce general who captured the most enemy generals among all the founding generals, and it can also be seen from this that the battle commanded by General Chen Geng belonged to the victory of the battle.
The commander of the Sixth Column was Wang Jinshan, a well-known general of the Central Plains Field Army, who claimed to be the first fierce general of the Central Plains Field Army, and he was gnawing the hardest bones and fighting the most vicious battles on the battlefield. It is precisely because the sixth column has strong combat effectiveness, generally speaking, the main offensive task on the battlefield, commander Liu will be handed over to Wang Jinshan to complete. For example, when Liu Deng's army advanced into Dabie Mountain, it was chased and blocked by Gui Xibai Chongxi, and in this emergency, Wang Jinshan led the sixth column to resist the enemy's success, cover the main retreat, and then successfully get rid of the enemy army. Even Deng Deng, the political commissar of the Central Plains Field Army, once said that all the vicious battles and hard battles in Nakano were handed over to Comrade Wang Jinshan. It can be seen that General Wang Jinshan was a very brave general of our party during the liberation war.
The commander of the Ninth Column was Qin Jiwei, who was also a tiger general from the Central Plains Field Army, and it was possible that on the battlefield of liberation, General Qin Jiwei's reputation was not as good as the above five, but in the campaign to aid Korea after the victory in the Liberation War, General Qin Jiwei served as the commander of the Fifteenth Army of the Volunteer Army. In the Battle of Shangganling, he commanded the army to fight the most splendid battle on the battlefield of aiding Korea in this battle, which increased the chips for later negotiations and made great contributions to the end of the campaign to aid Korea.
It was because of this battle that General Qin Jiwei became a well-known hero in the country, and later his official fortunes soared, his fame was loud, and he also served as the minister of national defense.
The above six column commanders were all from the Central Plains Field Army during the Liberation War, they were well-known, and they were also great generals who could fight good battles, be famous in all directions, and stand alone. In fact, in addition to these six, Nakano also had Wang Bingzhang, the commander of the 11th Column.
