The commander of the corps was Peng Dehuai, who was highly respected at that time, and the political commissar was Yang Shangkun, with three divisions and a total of nine regiments. The legion produced many outstanding generals, six of whom later became the founding generals, and their heroic deeds are impressive.

Zhang Zongxun, who succeeded him, later also became the founding general. Huang Kecheng, the political commissar of the Red Fourth Division, was also the later founding general. Among the regiments under the Red Fourth Division, many people later became founding generals, such as the regiment commander Shen Shuqing and political commissar Yang Yong.
Yang Yong, as Peng Dehuai's right-hand man, became the last commander of the Volunteer Army on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. These generals are all Peng Dehuai's right-hand men, and their stories are moving. Next was the Red Twelfth Regiment under the jurisdiction of the Red Fourth Division, and the regiment commander Xie Song was a brave general. Although he successfully survived the war, he was tragically killed in a car accident. Zhang Aiping, the political commissar of the Red Twelfth Regiment, later became the founding general, he was Peng Dehuai's right-hand man, and worked with Peng Dehuai in the Ministry of National Defense.

Later, the Red Seventh Army was merged into the Central Red Army and the Red Fifth Division was formed, and Li Tianyou became the division commander. He later served as the commander of the first column of the Northeast Field Army and became Lin Biao's right-hand man.
