What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Among the more than 1,000 founding major generals, there was a general, who was praised by Zhang Xueliang and General Manager Peng because he was too outstanding, and this general was jointly praised by Zhang Xueliang and General Peng, saying that he had the ability to debate and strategize, and he was a very outstanding general, he was the first general of the founding major general, General Xie Fang, and Zhuge Liang in the eyes of General Peng, which may be the highest evaluation of him.
Xie Fang, a native of Xiaoping Town, Dongfeng County, Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, was not illiterate and did not receive formal military education like too many founding major generals, but Xie Fang received good military studies; he initially joined the Northeast Army, and because of his good performance in all aspects, he was praised by Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal of the Northeast Army at that time, praising him as "young and promising, with a promising future," and also guaranteed him to study in Japan to study at the Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, which allowed Xie Fang to get greater improvement in the military. You must know that in the history of the Republic of China Army, there are many big figures who graduated from the Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, how to ying Qin, Tang Enbo, Yan Xishan and so on.
After returning to China, Xie Fang was even more powerful in the Northeast Army, and he was also very appreciated by Zhang Xueliang, and served as Zhang Xueliang's aide-de-camp, with the rank of general at least, and when he later joined our party, in 1955 he was also a major general, so Xie Fang was also known as a double "double major general".
And he joined our party is one of the late founding generals, at home in 1936, you must know that many founding generals joined the Red Army in 1920 to make revolutions.
Although Xie Fang joined the party late, he made good progress, had a certain military knowledge, and has been engaged in staff work since joining the Eighth Route Army, and in this position Xie Fang has been working for several years, from the staff officer of the Anti-Japanese War Regiment to the deputy chief of staff and chief of staff of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army during the Liberation War.
After making certain contributions to the liberation of northeast China, after the reorganization of the Fourth Field Army in Dongye, Xie Fang served as the chief of staff of the 12th Corps, assisted Xiao Jinguang in leading the southern expedition together, made meritorious achievements, liberated the whole country, and launched the Hengbao Campaign of Life and Death War with the Gui clan, which defeated the Gui clan and lost its armor and armor, and was no longer able to compete with the Siye army.
The xiefang was praised by General Manager Peng, saying that he had the ability to debate and strategize, and that he was in the battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea. We all know that the commander-in-chief of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is the great General Manager Peng, and there are two staff officers, one is Xie Fang, and the other is also Li Da, who is also a well-known staff officer of our army, who has assisted five marshals successively and is recognized as a good staff officer.
In the five campaigns successively launched to aid Korea, General Xie Fang also put forward many valuable opinions, becoming a good military helper for General Peng Laozong, a competent chief of staff, and Zhuge Liang in the army.
In addition to giving Mr. Peng a lot of help militarily, the solution side is also very good at negotiating. When the two sides locked the front line in the area of the 38th Line, negotiations were held, and the chief of staff of the xiefang side was one of the main negotiators, and at the negotiating table he was a bit of a group of people, not giving the enemy the opportunity to take advantage of it, and making a great contribution to the success of the negotiations.
In fact, according to xiefang's merits in the revolutionary battle, it should be possible to award a lieutenant general, but in 1955, Xie fang was awarded major general, and his heart was a little low, which may be related to the time he joined the party, fortunately he is the head of more than a thousand major generals.
