As a result of Chiang Kai-shek's tearing up of the Double Tenth Agreement and Chiang Kai-shek's pressing on the Liberated Areas of our Communist Party, it eventually led to the inevitable outbreak of the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War in 1946. The Nationalist government army under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, although corrupt and incompetent, was also a regular army, and also received millions of Japanese military equipment and countless AMERICAN aides. Therefore, although Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang army was unpopular and unruly, it still had combat effectiveness that could not be underestimated in the early days of the War of Liberation. The Kuomintang army in 1946 can be said to be a period when the soldiers were strong and morale was relatively high. In 1946, our People's Liberation Army had to carry out strategic defenses. The year 1946 can be said to be the hardest year our army fought, and it was also the year in which our army sacrificed the most. In 1946, a total of 7 generals of our army were martyred, three of whom could become marshals with almost no objection, and a well-known heroic general was also martyred on the eve of the dawn of liberation.
Three of them are plausible plaus generals at the division level. The first was General Huang Shide, who was then the commander and political commissar of the Ewan Subdistrict of the Central Plains Military Region. In August 1946, he was martyred in a war to defend the Liberated Area of Puchun. The second was General Wu Daming, who was then the brigade commander of the 19th Brigade of the 7th Column of Nakano, whose actual position was equivalent to that of a normal division commander. In October 1946, General Wu Daming personally inspected the battlefield, but unfortunately was hit by snipers of the Nationalist reorganized 11th Division, and died on the spot. The third was General Xie Xiangjun, who was then the commander of the Tenth Column of the Central China Field Army. General Xie Xiangjun was martyred in October 946 in the Battle of Lianshui.
Although these three generals at the level of division commanders are not very famous, they all sacrificed their precious lives for the founding of New China, and they also sacrificed their lives for the country, and they are destined to leave their names in history and be admired by people.
The other three generals, all veterans of hard work and meritorious service, all made special and outstanding contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Commander of the Red Army, and the War of Liberation.
The first of these was General Li Zhaolin, who had gone to the northeast during the anti-Japanese battlefield and insisted on resisting the war behind enemy lines for more than ten years, and was also one of the main founders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. It can be said that General Li Zhaolin is not only a loyal defender of our Party, but also a national hero of our country. After Yang Jingyu and Zhao Shangzhi were successively killed by the Japanese Kou, General Li Zhaolin and General Zhou Baozhong became the banner of the Northeast Anti-Japanese League and the main leader of the Northeast War of Resistance, but unfortunately, General Li Zhaolin was assassinated by Kuomintang agents in March 1946 and died before the dawn of liberation.
The second was General Guan Xiangying. General Guan Xiangying was an old Red Army soldier with a high prestige in the army. It is a pity that General Guan Xiangying died of illness in Yan'an on July 21, 1946, on the eve of liberation. General Guan Xiangying, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, also went behind enemy lines and actively participated in the war against Japan. For a long time, General Guan Xiangying and General He Long had equal prestige, and if General Guan Xiangying did not die, the post of marshal was almost uncontroversial.
The third was General Luo Binghui. General Luo Binghui served as a regimental commander during the Red Army. In the Red Army to which General Luo Binghui belonged, Lin Biao, Nie Rongzhen and Peng Dehuai were all marshals. General Luo Binghui was the commander of the Red Ninth Army during the Long March. During the anti-Japanese period, in the New Fourth Army, General Luo Binghui's status was comparable to that of Chen Yi. In terms of seniority and merit, General Luo Binghui is in the forefront of the rankings. If it were not for the sudden illness and death of General Luo Binghui on June 21, 1946, on the battlefield, There would have been almost no objection to General Luo Binghui conferring the post of Marshal on marshal.
The most special of these 7 sacrificial generals is the well-known hero, General Ye Ting. General Ye Ting is very senior, participated in the Northern Expedition and the War of Resistance, and it can be said that almost no one in the army can match him. General Ye Ting was a hero and resolute in resisting Japan, but he was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang government. On April 8, 1946, General Ye Ting, his wife Li Xiuwen, as well as Qin Bangxian, Deng Fa, and Wang Ruofei, who had been freed, unfortunately crashed and died heroically. And everyone thinks that if General Ye Ting can return safely, perhaps the appointment of marshal is a high probability event!
How many new Chinas were poured with blood, how many people with lofty ideals failed to live to the bright day of the founding of New China. However, I hope that new China is now as prosperous as these heroes wish! Hats off to them!
