As everyone knows, in the Three Years' Liberation War, our army defeated the Kuomintang's eight million troops and established a new China. However, many people in our army have also sacrificed their precious lives for this purpose, including many excellent commanders and fighters. This article attempts to list ten of them (excluding generals who died before July 1946)
The first one is more famous - Zhu Rui.
Zhu Rui, a cadre of the Great Revolution, studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and the Soviet Artillery School, and is known as the father of our army's artillery. After returning to China, he first engaged in underground work in Shanghai, then transferred to the Central Soviet Region, was the political commissar of the Red Fifth Army during the Long March, and served as the director of the political department of the Red First Army after arriving in northern Shaanxi. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the political commissar of the First Column of the Eighth Route Army, and together with Xu Shuai, he entered Shandong in the east, opening up a new situation in the Shandong War of Resistance. During the Liberation War, he led the teachers, staff, and cadets of the Yan'an Artillery Academy to the northeast, and by picking up the weapons and accessories left behind by the Kwantung Army, he established the artillery corps of our army from scratch, and later served as the commander of the Dongye Artillery Column. If Zhu Rui did not sacrifice, he would probably become the commander of our army's artillery after the founding of the people's republic of China, and he would have won the rank of general at the bottom, which can be compared with General Chen Xilian, the first commander of artillery. It is also possible to shock the General.
The second one talked about Xie Xiangjun, the tiger general of the New Fourth Army.
Xie Xiangjun was born in the Red Fourth Front, and spent 5 years from soldier and platoon leader all the way to the commander of the 96th Division of the Red 32nd Army. In a certain battle, Xie Xiangjun was injured in the leg and unfortunately infected. The doctor decided to amputate the limb, xie Xiangjun begged the commander Luo Binghui to avoid amputation, and finally the wound miraculously healed. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was transferred to the Jiangbei Headquarters of the New Fourth Army and continued to cooperate with his old superior, Luo Binghui. During a Japanese sweep, Xie Xiangjun organized the anti-university members to break through in the dark of night. Unexpectedly, the girls' team went in the wrong direction during the breakout and was intercepted by the puppet army. He personally led the guard company in rapid pursuit, and one by one snatched the girls' team back from the puppet army. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander of the Tenth Column of the Central China Field Army, and personally commanded the battle at the front line during the Lianshui Defense Battle, but unfortunately died heroically. If he did not sacrifice, liu peishan, the political commissar who was with him, was likely to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
The third one talks about Liao Jiyong's general Ma Renxing.
Ma Renxing, a native of Pingshan, Hebei, joined the Northwest Army in his early years. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was the commander of the 28th Regiment of the Nationalist Cavalry Regiment, secretly joined our party in October 1938, and on April 14, 1941, he led his troops to revolt in Lingchuan County, Shanxi Province. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was sent to the northeast as the commander of the Bao 1st Brigade, leading the Bao 1st Brigade to conquer Siping and annihilating 3,000 iron and stone troops with the strongest combat effectiveness in puppet Manchuria. In the Siping Defense Battle, Ma Renxing commanded the Baoyi Brigade and fought a bloody battle with the New First Army for 33 days. Subsequently, the Baoyi Brigade was reorganized into the 7th Column 19th Division of Dongye, with Ma Renxing as the commander of the division. The commander of the column was the famous Deng Hua. Unfortunately, in the Third Siping Campaign, Ma Renxing was shot with stray bullets while waiting for the handover of positions and unfortunately died. If not sacrificed, Ma Renxing is likely to succeed Deng Hua as the commander of the 44th Army after Dongye entered the pass, awarding him the rank of major general, with a certain chance of impacting lieutenant general.
The fourth one talks about Zhang Yuanshou, who is not very famous but has a higher position.
Zhang Yuanshou, a native of Yongding, Fujian, was a veteran figure of the Red Army in western Fujian, who was known for his good financial management and logistics in the Soviet Zone, and served as the director of the Supply Department of the Logistics Department of the Central Military Commission. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the station chief of the General Military Station of the New Fourth Army, responsible for the centralized management of the New Fourth Army that would come from all over the country, and rationally arranged funds, purchased a large number of materials from Shanghai, Nanjing, and other occupied areas, and solved the urgent need of the New Fourth Army to march eastward to resist Japan. After the Anhui Incident, he became the chief of staff of the Fifth Brigade of the Second Division, and exerted his outstanding military ability, leading the Eleventh Regiment of the Fifth Brigade to open up the Huaixi regions such as Lingbi and Fengyang.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he served as deputy chief of staff of the Central China Military Region and deputy chief of staff of the East China Field Army. Before and after the meeting of the two Huaixin Fourth Armies and the Shandong Field Army, most of the military supplies remained in Central Jiangsu, and Zhang Yuanshou organized direct supplies so that the supply of military supplies could be transported to the front line of Lunan and Subei. After the Battle of Laiwu, Zhang Yuanshou inspected various battlefields and planned to collect and equip the troops with weapons abandoned by the Kuomintang troops. One day in March 1947, when he arrived at the outskirts of Zhangdian by car, he was suddenly strafed by Kuomintang planes, and he hurriedly commanded his companions to hide, but he himself was shot and killed. If he did not sacrifice, he would probably become the director of the Logistics Department of the East China Military Region after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he would be awarded the rank of major general at the rank of regular army, and according to his seniority and merit, he would probably be awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
The fifth one talks about Wang Jiwen.
Wang Jiwen, a native of Hong'an, Hubei Province, participated in the jute uprising as a teenager, served as the leader of the children's regiment, and served as the leader of the Red Army after the Long March to northern Shaanxi. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was transferred to Shandong as the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Brigade; he commanded the operation very boldly, and was able to quickly implement the intentions of his superiors, and soon became the leader of the first-class main force regiment of the Eighth Road in Shandong, and once ambushed the recalcitrant division headquarters with two companies and annihilated a squadron of the Japanese army with one battalion, and made outstanding military achievements. In 1947, he succeeded He Yixiang as the commander of the Eighth Division, commanded the Eighth Division to attack Tai'an and Luoyang, and became a feared tiger. It is a pity that he died heroically in the Battle of Jinan. If not sacrificed, he would have become the commander of the 22nd Army, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
The sixth one talks about Wu Daming.
Wu Daming, a native of Hong'an, Hubei Province, was born as a propaganda officer of the Red Twenty-fifth Army, and was later promoted to regimental instructor by virtue of his military merits. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander of the independent brigade of the Jiluyu Military Region, and during many counter-sweeps, Wu Daming commanded the troops to suddenly move from east to west, sometimes setting up ambushes and sometimes attacking at night, causing the Japanese army to be dizzy, and was praised by commander Yang Yong as "a commander with flexible command and very good at fighting." After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the 7th Column and 19th Brigade of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army, and died heroically in the battle against Zhang Fengji, and if he did not sacrifice, he would probably be awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
The seventh one talks about Qin Xian'an.
Qin Xian'an, a native of Guangshan, Henan, was born in the Special Agent Company of the Red Twenty-Eighth Army, and was once the commander of the Edong Independent Regiment, and when he was fighting guerrillas in Eyuwan, he once led a small detachment of more than a dozen people disguised as the Twenty-fifth Route Army Einsatzgruppen to lure the enemy into the ambush circle of our army. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the commander of the Seventh Regiment of the Four Detachments of the New Fourth Army, and in the Battle of Zhoujiagang, he was responsible for the two major tasks of blocking and ambushing, and did not fail in his mission and successfully killed the Japanese Army Shaozuo. Jiepai set battle, completely annihilated the main battalion of the Seventh Army of the Gui Army. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the political commissar of the Fifth Division of the Second Column and died heroically in the battle of our army against Nanma. If not sacrificed, the rank of lieutenant general is likely to be awarded.
The eighth one talks about the second in command of the Qiongya Column- Li Zhenya
Li Zhenya, a native of TengXian County, Guangxi, participated in the Baise Uprising in his early years and served as the commander of the first battalion of the cadre regiment during the Long March. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he now taught in the Nanyue Guerrilla Training Class, and was later ordered to serve as the chief of staff of the Dongjiang Column. In order to strengthen the leadership of the anti-Japanese struggle in Hainan, in 1940, Li Zhenya was transferred to the Qiongya Column as chief of staff, and on March 12, 1947, he was promoted to the first deputy commander and the first commander of the Qiongya Column. On September 27, 1948, Li Zhenya led five detachments from Baoting County to the east into Lingshui, and unfortunately was shot and killed. If he did not sacrifice, in the case of Feng Baiju's transfer to local work, it is likely that he would receive the rank of lieutenant general as a representative of the Qiongya Column.
The ninth one talks about Yin Shaoli, political commissar of the Second Column and Fourth Division.
Yin Shaoli, a native of Xinxian County, Henan, joined the Red Army at the age of 16, and was ordered to persist in the struggle after the Red Twenty-fifth Army of the Red Fourth Front left the base area one after another, and was arrested and imprisoned by the Nationalist army for injuries, and was released after the outbreak of the War of Resistance. Later, he joined the Fifth Detachment of the New Fourth Army and served as the director of the Political Office of the Fifteenth Regiment. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he led a regiment to hold on to Tianchang, and a division of the Blood Warring States Army lasted five days and five nights. In January 1948, he was promoted to commander of the 2nd Column 4th Division. In the Battle of Yilin, the Second Column won a complete victory and annihilated three regiments of the Nationalist army, but in order to choose a breakthrough for the troops to attack, the division commander Yin Shaoli personally visited the front position of Dongxuzi to inspect the terrain and unfortunately died heroically. If not sacrificed, as one of huaye's first-class main divisions, the division commander will most likely be awarded the rank of lieutenant general after the founding of the people's republic of China, and his subordinate, Hu Wei, the director of the political department of the fourth division who joined the party in 1938, is the founding major general.
The last one, Han Liansheng, who sacrificed relatively late but was relatively senior, was also the only general among the ten people who did not sacrifice on the battlefield.
Han Liansheng, a native of Pingxiang, Jiangxi, the founder of our army's engineer cause, worked in the Anyuan Coal Mine in his early years, followed the Anyuan coal miners to participate in the February 7th Strike and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, ran to other places as coal workers after failure, joined the Red Army in 1930, and became the first engineer company commander of the Red Army. The most famous thing is that during the Long March, he personally commanded the engineer troops to erect pontoon bridges at the fastest speed on the Wujiang, Jinshajiang, and Chishui rivers, and in a short period of time, the main forces of the Red Army were freed from the pursuit and suppression of the Nationalist army. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as the director of the engineers of the 129th Division, studying the use of existing materials in the base areas to manufacture explosives and bullets.
During the Liberation War, Hua Ye set up a special column, and Han Liansheng did not care about personal gains and losses, took the initiative to apply for demotion and demotion, and gave chen Ruiting, who was a rebel officer, to assist him as the head of the special column engineering corps. On the eve of the Battle of Huaihai, he was promoted to chief of staff of the special column. Our army was trapped by insufficient firepower and made slow progress toward the twelve corps entrenched in the double pile, and the Korean League took the initiative to ask for help, and together with Nie Peizhang, an engineer expert in Nakano, developed a famous flying explosive package, commonly known as the unconscionable cannon. Unfortunately, during the test, an explosive package did not explode, and Han Liansheng quickly came forward to check the cause. As he approached the explosive package, he sensed from experience that the explosive package was about to explode, and immediately ordered everyone to evacuate quickly. As soon as the words fell, only a loud noise was heard, and the heroic sacrifice was made. If there is no sacrifice, it is very appropriate to confer the rank of lieutenant general on the basis of his old qualifications and his contribution to the cause of our army's engineers.
