After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the first troops to enter the war in Korea were the Northeast Border Defense Army, which was formed by the 13th Corps of the Fourth Field Army, and was the first unit to enter the War in Korea. For example, the 38th, 39th, 40th, 47th, and 42nd ace units all participated in the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The generals who served as the commanders of the various armies were also the ace generals from the Fourth Field Army. Tiger generals such as Liang Xingchu, Wu Xinquan, Wen Yucheng, Cao Lihuai, and Wu Ruilin are all famous generals of the Four Wilds. There were also Liu Zhen, commander of the Volunteer Air Force, who was also a famous general from the Fourth Field Army; Xie Fang, chief of staff of the Volunteer Army; Wan Yi, commander of the Volunteer Army Artillery; Duan Suquan, deputy commander of the Air Force; He Jinnian, commander of the Railway Corps; and Huang Yongsheng and Ding Sheng, who entered the Korean War in the later period, including Zeng Zesheng, commander of the Fiftieth Army, who revolted on the northeast battlefield, and other famous generals, all came from the camp of the Fourth Field Army.
It is enough to see that after the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, many famous generals of the Fourth Field Army did enter the DPRK to participate in the war. In fact, in addition to the above famous generals, there are three famous generals from the Fourth Field Army, who serve as deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army.
When it comes to the commander of the volunteer army, everyone will think of Mr. Peng, yes, he also led the volunteer army to repel the attack of the Western powers on the battlefield. It is also the first time since the Qing Dynasty that it has repelled the attacks of Western countries militarily in the past hundred years, opening a new page in history. In addition to the commander, the volunteers also had deputy commanders. Three of the first generals to be appointed deputy commanders were generals from the Fourth Field Army.
The first was General Deng Hua, who assisted Mr. Peng in launching five campaigns at the base camp of the Volunteer Army, and was one of the deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army, who also served as the commander of the 13th Corps. I believe that everyone knows that General Deng Hua is a famous general from the Fourth Field Army, in the Liberation War, he successively served as the commander of the Seventh Column, the commander of the 44th Army, the commander of the 15th Corps and other positions, commanded and participated in many classic battles, and also made great achievements. It may be that General Deng Hua has experienced more battles and accumulated rich combat experience, which has greatly improved his military command. So much so that on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he became a good military helper for President Peng. It was precisely because General Deng Hua was appreciated by General Peng that he became the first volunteer general to replace General Peng as deputy commander of the Volunteer Army.
The second was General Hong Xuezhi, commander of the Logistics Department of the Volunteer Army, who was also the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. You know, whether it is the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, logistics is a very important department. The ancients said that the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first, so it can be seen that logistics is a very important post for war. Therefore, Mr. Peng personally appointed Hong Xuezhi, deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, to be responsible for the logistics of the Volunteer Army. You must know that General Hong Xuezhi was not a logistician during the Liberation War. Instead, he was a general who led troops to fight, successively serving as the commander of the Sixth Column and the commander of the 43rd Army, and the logistics were still at the beginning of the war to aid Korea.
However, Mr. Peng has a keen eye for heroes, and General Hong Xuezhi, who has never done logistics. In the logistics work, it is necessary to do a good job, not only to avoid the bombing of enemy aircraft, but also to ensure that logistics materials are delivered to the front line on time. In this regard, General Hong Xuezhi can be said to be racking his brains, trying everything to avoid the enemy's bombers and establish a steel transportation line that is constantly bombarding and cannot be broken.
The third was Han Xianchu, the tiger general of the Volunteer Army, who had no specific job assignment, but was also the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. The specific work should be the commander of the front line, which belongs to the kind of person, where the front line is tight, General Han Xianchu will be transferred to where to act as the fire brigade leader on the battlefield to aid the DPRK. For example, in the second campaign, General Han Xianchu sat under the command of the 38th Army, interspersed in place, cut off the enemy's retreat, and made great contributions to the victory of the second campaign. In addition, on the first front line of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he commanded the units of the Volunteer Army to fight to the 38th Line, stabilized the war situation, and made certain contributions to the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
It seems that the three deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army are all famous generals from the Fourth Field Army. General Deng Hua commanded at the base camp, General Hong Xuezhi managed logistics, General Han Xianchu commanded at the front, and the three generals combined could be described as the best combination. Of course, later, Chen Geng, a famous general of the Second Field Army, and Song Shilun, a famous general of the Third Field Army, also served as deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army.
