In 1955, a total of ten generals were awarded the rank of General. These ten men were all generals who had contributed to the revolution, and they had participated in the process of creating the people's army. Including, during the Liberation War, the ten generals made outstanding achievements in this battle. Speaking of the most prominent generals in battle, there is no doubt that it is definitely Commander Su Yu. He was the only of the ten generals to be called the Uncrowned Commander. If you talk about the generals who contributed greatly to the victory of the Liberation War, the commander of the millet can be ranked at least within the top five. In 1955, he was ranked first among the ten generals, and later held the posts of Chief of the General Staff and Vice President of the Academy of Military Sciences. In 1973, he was appointed a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission. In 1975, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee and enjoyed the treatment of vice-national level.
General Huang Kecheng ranked third among the ten generals, before General Chen Geng, who was famous in battle. It can be seen that Huang Kecheng was also a founding general who made great contributions to the revolution. During his revolutionary career, he served as a political commissar and focused on the ideological work of the troops. He also served as a military commander and was also a very strategic general, and he was the first to propose to enter the northeast. This was the strategic policy of developing to the north and defending to the south, which was more familiar to everyone later.
Therefore, Huang Kecheng is a general who belongs to both military and political power. After winning the War of Liberation, he first presided over the work of the local government for a period of time. In 1952, he was transferred to Beijing and served as deputy chief of the general staff and director of the general logistics department. After the establishment of the Ministry of National Defense in 1954, Peng was appointed as minister and Huang Kecheng was appointed as vice minister. Although he was suppressed during the special period, after the truth came out, he returned in 1977 and was elected as an alternate member of the seventh term, the eighth member, and in 1978 he was co-elected as a member, the standing secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and other posts, focusing on the unjust, false and wrong cases left over during the special period. Huang Kecheng, who returned in his later years, also held a position of deputy state.
As everyone may know, Tan Zhengda will be an excellent political worker. In his revolutionary career, he focused on propaganda and ideological education in the army. Whether before or after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tan Zheng was engaged in civilian duties. In September 1954, he was appointed as a member of the First National Defense Commission and Vice Minister of National Defense. At the same time, he also served as the first deputy director and director of the General Political Department of the People's Army. During that special period, General Tan Zheng also suffered unequal treatment, but fortunately he was later rehabilitated and resumed his work in 1975, serving as an adviser to the Central Military Commission and a member of the Standing Committee. In 1978, he was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress, and his rank also reached the rank of vice-state.
Xiao Jinguang, the commander of the Navy, was an outstanding military general in the war years. In the early days of liberation, he served as the deputy commander of the Northeast Democratic Autonomous Army, concurrently served as the chief of staff, and the deputy commander of the Northeast Democratic United Army. At the same time, he is also a military general on the northeast battlefield. When the people's army launched a counter-offensive against the northeast, Xiao Jinguang was the commander of the first corps on the front line. At that time, the Northeast Field Army had two corps commanders, one was Xiao Jinguang, and the other was Cheng Zihua.
It can be seen that in the war years, Xiao Jinguang was a great military general. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as commander of the Navy and, in 1954, as deputy minister of defense. Of course, his main work is still engaged in the construction and development of the people's navy, and in this area, Xiao Jinguang has made great contributions to the development and construction of the mainland's navy. In May 1979, Xiao Jinguang was elected vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress. From 1982 to 1985, he was elected as a standing committee member twice, and he was also a general who enjoyed the treatment of vice-state level.
The last one, the founding general who enjoyed the treatment of vice-state level, was General Luo Ruiqing. Friends who may know the history of the Liberation War know that during the Liberation War, he was the political commissar of the 19th Corps, and also the only political commissar of the 19 Corps political commissars on the liberation battlefield who was awarded the rank of great general. At the same time, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Luo Ruiqing was also a very popular figure, serving as the minister of the Gong Ān Ministry, responsible for public security work throughout the country, especially in the capital.
In April 1959, Luo Ruiqing was appointed vice premier, and in September of the same year, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee and Secretary General of the Central Military Commission, the Chief of the General Staff, and the Vice Minister of National Defense. Despite the unequal treatment in that particular era, in 1975 Luo Ruiqing resumed his work as an adviser to the Central Military Commission, and in August 1977, he was reinstated as a member of the Standing Committee and Secretary-General of the Central Military Commission.
The above five generals are all generals who enjoy the treatment of vice-state level after the founding of the people's republic.
