During the liberation period, as the fourth field army with the most extensive conquest area, it was definitely an ace field army with the most elite troops and strong generals on the liberation battlefield. According to statistics, the generals who came out of the Fourth Field Army were all famous brave generals in the history of our army's war. The commander of the field army, Lin Zong, needless to say, is definitely a very bullish military expert.
At the same time, the Fourth Field Army also gathered a number of tiger generals, such as Deng Hua, Huang Yongsheng, Han Xianchu, Hong Xuezhi, Li Tianyou, Liu Zhen, Wu Xinquan, Wen Yucheng, Zhong Wei, Wu Kehua, Hu Qicai, Wu Ruilin, Liang Xingchu, Li Zuopeng, He Jinnian, Long Shujin, Deng Yue and other famous generals from the Fourth Field Army.
The Fourth Field Army had in addition to a group of brave generals. During the four-year Liberation War, this unit trained a group of brave and good war troops. Among them, the most famous is definitely the five main forces of the Four Wild Army that are praised by the world on the battlefield of liberation.
The first main force, the 38th Army (renamed from the First Column of the Northeast Field Army). The ace army has a tough fighting style and is a main force known for being good at fighting hard and vicious battles. Generally speaking, there are more difficult combat tasks, and the commander of the field army will let the 38th Army take the lead.
The second main force, the 39th Army (renamed from the 2nd Column of the Northeast Field Army). The ace army is a strong force with strong mobile combat capabilities. It can be thrown into any battlefield at any time, any place, and quickly form a strong defensive line.
The third main force, the 40th Army (renamed from the Third Column of the Northeast Field Army). The combat characteristics of this ace army are also strong mobility, just like the black whirlwind of nature. Therefore, the Fortieth Army has also become a whirlwind army in the hearts of the Chinese people.
The fourth main force, the 43rd Army (renamed from the Sixth Column of the Northeast Field Army). The combat characteristics of this ace unit are both offensive and defensive, under the jurisdiction of the 128th Division has the title of the Tiger Division, under the jurisdiction of the 127th Division has the title of lightning division, rapid, agile, strong attack, become the biggest feature of the 127th Division.
The fifth main force, the 41st Army (renamed from the Fourth Column of the Northeast Field Army). The biggest feature of this main force is that it is good at defense, and the famous Tower Hill Blocking Battle is the best example.
The above five main forces belong to each of their own advantages, just like five fingers, some long and some short, some thick and some thin, but each finger has a great effect, if any one is missing, it is not perfect.
As the fourth field army with the most aces, in addition to the five main forces. There are also three ace troops, which are also the main force, and the commanders of these three ace armies are all well-known tiger generals.
The first ace army was the 54th Army, which was formed in October 1952 after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Strictly speaking, the newly formed 54th Army was not subordinate to the Fourth Field Army. However, the 54th Army was formed by merging the 44th Army and the 45th Army under the fourth field army. You must know that these two armies are the old troops of Shiye, and if you say that the newly formed 54th Army is from the Shiye Army, it seems that it is also possible.
The 54th Army, which was founded at the latest, became the largest dark horse in the ranks of the people after the baptism of war. Together with the veteran 38th Army and the 39th Army, they are called the three aces of our army. As the first commander of the 54th Army, General Ding Sheng is also a well-known tiger general in the history of our army's war.
The second ace unit was the 47th Army, which was renamed by the Tenth Column of the Northeast Field Army. The commander of the tenth column was the famous tiger general Liang Xingchu. It was also he who led the column to drag liao yaoxiang's corps in the montenegro blockade battle, contributing to the victory of the Northeast Field Army in the Battle of Western Liaoning.
In November 1948, the 10th Column of the Northeast Field Army was reorganized into the 47th Army, and the first commander was the tiger general Liang Xingchu. Probably, during the liberation period, the 47th Army was not included in the five main forces of the Fourth Field Army. However, the entire army of the 47th Army fought in a tough style, and successively experienced the War of Liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the Battle of Southern Xinjiang. And in 1985, it became one of the 24 army group armies in the history of our army, and the unit number continued until 2017. In the past 69 years, the 47th Army has successively emerged qiu Shaoyun, Zhang Guofu, Ouyang Hai and other heroic figures.
The third ace unit was the 42nd Army of the Rising Whirlwind Army. The army was reorganized from the only fifth column on the liberation battlefield. It should be known that during the liberation period, the major field armies did not use the Fifth Column, and this name was the only Northeast Field Army.
Frankly speaking, during the Liberation War, the comprehensive performance of the 42nd Army was average, not the main force of the Four Fields Army. The 42nd Army, the strongest ace in terms of fighting style, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea under the leadership of General Wu Ruilin, the second commander of the army.
In this foreign war, the 42nd Army performed very well, annihilating more than 28,000 enemy troops, standing out from the second-rate troops, and becoming one of the ten aces of the Volunteer Army. After returning to China, the 42nd Army was stationed in Guangdong for a long time, guarding the southern gate of the motherland, and was known as the Lingnan Xiongshi.
