After the outbreak of the Liberation War, the Central Plains Military Region was established and had 7 second-level military regions under its jurisdiction. In addition to the commander, there are political commissars and two deputy commanders. When they were awarded titles at the founding of the country, except for the political commissar who did not confer titles, the other three were all awarded titles, one was a general, one was a general, and the other was a colonel. Why is the gap so large?
The commanders of the Eyu Military Region are: Wang Shusheng as commander, and Guo Tianmin and Chang Binggui as deputy commanders.
Wang Shusheng and Guo Tianmin were both veteran Red Army veterans, and they had already held very high positions during the Red Army period, so we will not say more, why was Chang Bingguizhi awarded the title of Colonel?
Chang Binggui joined the Red Army in 1930 and soon became a squad leader. He was promoted one rank the year after that, to platoon leader in 1932, and to 1936 he was a regimental commander.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as chief of staff of the 115th Division, deputy chief of staff of the column, deputy brigade commander, and commander of the military sub-district (brigade commander level).
During the liberation period, he was the chief of staff of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army Column, and was later delegated to serve as a brigade commander; after the establishment of the Eyu Military Region, he served as deputy commander and became Wang Shusheng's deputy, and another deputy commander was Guo Tianmin. It should be known that Wang Shusheng and Guo Tianmin were awarded the title of general and admiral when they founded the country, and why Chang Binggui was awarded the title of colonel.
At the time of liberation, although Chang Binggui served as the deputy commander of the military region, he was soon changed to the chief of staff and brigade commander of the military region, and only became the deputy commander in 1949. In fact, although this post is a deputy military rank, the founding of New China may also be promoted, such as Wang Shangrong, Kong Shiquan, Li Yao, Yu Qiuli, Yang Xiushan, etc., before the founding of New China, they were all deputy military ranks, and later made many contributions and were awarded lieutenant generals.
The reason why Chang Binggui's promotion is slow has a lot to do with his record and personal life. First of all, he did not fight many major battles, and although he served as deputy commander of the military district, he did not last long. When Chang Binggui was previously a brigade commander, his political commissar and former subordinates were awarded the rank of major general, but he did not award the title of general because of personal corruption and degeneration, and eventually did not have the opportunity to be a general.
