Since the founding of New China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has carried out five large-scale disarmaments, many of which have been revoked, including many of the troops of the founding generals. However, although the number of one unit has been changed several times, it has never been cut, and what is even more surprising is that this is the only rebel unit of the Nationalist Army that has not been laid off, which has made a miraculous contribution in the Korean battlefield, and the commander has been awarded the founding lieutenant general!
This unit is now the 52nd Mountain Brigade of the Tibet Military Region, and the earliest predecessor of the 52nd Mountain Brigade was the Provisional 21st Division of the 60th Army of the Nationalist Army, which is a very old Dian Army unit, and the commander of the 60th Army at that time was Zeng Zesheng. During the Liaoshen Campaign, Zeng Zesheng was keenly aware of the general trend of national liberation, so he led his troops to revolt and accepted the reorganization of the People's Liberation Army. This uprising played an important role in the situation in the northeast, and Zeng Zesheng was also affirmed by the central government, and after the 60th Army of the Dian Army was reorganized into the 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army, Zeng Zesheng continued to serve as the commander of this team.
During the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 50th Army also followed the troops to the Korean battlefield and made many miracles here. This unit had completely annihilated the British ace tank battalion, and even more successfully liberated Seoul, successfully launched the name of the volunteer army, so that the United Nations army had to fear this army.
In the Fourth Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 50th Army cooperated with the then ace 38th Army of the Volunteer Army and served as a blockade task on both sides of the Han River. Although the 50th Army was not the main force, in this battle, the highlights they showed were not inferior to the main force, and even the 38th Army had to be admired. At that time, the 50th Army was facing more than 40,000 Un Troops led by the United States, who were quite well-equipped and covered by aircraft artillery along the way. However, the 50th Army did not flinch when it saw the situation, and with their flesh and blood, they firmly nailed the UNITED Nations army to both sides of the Han River, making it difficult to move. In the end, the 50th Army, with its incredible combat effectiveness, perfectly completed the task of blocking the attack, assisted the brother troops to achieve a complete victory in the battle, and they once again made a miracle on the Korean battlefield.
It is also by virtue of his outstanding military achievements on the Korean battlefield that Zeng Zesheng, commander of the 50th Army, was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, which is also the glory of the 50th Army. In the later years, the 50th Army changed its name many times, and finally after being incorporated into the Xinjiang Military Region, it was reorganized into the 52nd Mountain Brigade, becoming a unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness in the Xinjiang Military Region!
