The Central Military Commission is the highest military body that oversees the armed forces of the whole country, and if you can become the head of this department, you must be an outstanding military strategist or national leader.
In May 1927, the Central Military Commission was formally established, and at that time it was known as the Central Military Department (also known as the Military Department), and the first minister was Premier Zhou, an outstanding military strategist and statesman. In addition, Wang Yifei, Gu Shunzhang, Yan Changyi, He Chang, Luo Yinong and others served as military commissars.
In 1930, the Military Committee was reorganized, and its main members were composed of 9 people, including Premier Zhou, Guan Xiangying, and Zeng Zhongsheng.
After that, Xiang Ying, Mao, Zhu and others successively served as the chairman of the military committee.
After the Zunyi Conference in 1935, the Central Military Commission with Chairman Mao as the core was officially born, and Premier Zhou, Wang Jiaxiang, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu were all important members of this department, and they were also the highest military decision-makers during the Long March.
In 1937, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and in order to better unify management, the institutional management of the Central Military Commission was readjusted. Of course, the leader is still Chairman Mao, Zhu, and Tuesday is the vice chairman. At the same time, eight more were members of the Military Council.
In August 1945, an enlarged meeting of the Politburo was held in Yan'an, and in order to adapt to the current situation, the personnel of the Central Military Commission were readjusted. In that year, 12 key members of the people's army entered the highest military body and became members of the military council.
So, in 1945, who were the 12 members of the highest military body?
The readjusted military committee is still headed by Chairman Mao, who, after all, has been leading the construction of the whole army for a long time and is the best suitable candidate.
Prior to this, Premier Zhou and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, who had served as vice chairmen of the Military Commission for many times, were still vice chairmen of the Military Commission. At the same time, in the year, two deputy chairmen were added to the Military Council.
One is General Peng Da, who is known for his military expertise, and the other is Comrade Shaoqi, an outstanding proletarian revolutionary and outstanding political worker.
Mao, Zhu, Zhou, and Liu were all important members of our army's base camp during the War of Liberation, and it was they who led the war of liberation throughout the country and made great achievements for the founding of New China.
General Peng Da is an outstanding military strategist and tactician, a military commander who has been trained step by step in the war, and is very good at leading troops. Therefore, on the most important battlefield of liberation, he did not sit in the base camp, but threw himself into the northwest front, commanding the troops to eliminate the reactionaries and liberate the northwestern provinces.
In 1945, the members of the Military Committee were: Mr. Chen, Mr. Nie Rongzhen, Mr. He, Mr. Xu Xiangqian, Mr. Liu Bocheng, Mr. Lin, and seven comrades, including Jianying.
These were all key members of the people's army at that time. Chen Lao was always the commander of the New Fourth Army and an important military leader in East China. On the battlefield of liberation, the East China Field Army under the command of General Chen was the backbone of the elimination of the reactionary military group.
Comrade Nie Rongzhen is the supreme person in charge of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Base Area and is a military and political chief who is in charge of his own affairs. Soon after, he led the liberation of North China and successfully defeated Fu Zuoyi's military group militarily.
Mr. He was also one of the important leaders of the people's army at that time. During the liberation period, he was responsible for the logistics support of the northwest region.
On the battlefield of liberation, Xu Xiangqian served as the deputy commander of the field unit of the North China Military Region, commanding a corps to eliminate the Yan Xishan military group that Chiang Kai-shek could not handle.
Liu Bocheng was the commander of the 129th Division during the Anti-Japanese War, and established the Taihang Mountain Base Area, which played a key role in strengthening the revolutionary armed forces. At the same time, in the later period of the War of Liberation, Comrade Bo Cheng was also one of the main commanders in the elimination of the reactionary military clique.
In 1946, just after the War of Liberation began, Comrade Bo Cheng achieved brilliant results in three battles and three victories, and then led his troops to advance into Dabie Mountain and fired the first shot of the strategic counteroffensive.
Such a capable and courageous military commander should have entered the highest military apparatus in 1945.
Mr. Lin was the commander of the 115th Division during the Anti-Japanese War and participated in the command of the famous Battle of Pingxingguan. Later, due to being accidentally wounded by friendly soldiers, he went to the Soviet Union to recuperate under the arrangement of the organization. Therefore, in the next anti-Japanese battlefield, we did not see the figure of this famous general.
Although Mr. Lin was absent from the War of Resistance Against Japan, he had strong military ability, and became a member of the Military Council in 1945, and was soon sent to the Northeast Battlefield by his superiors to become the military chief of the military and political shoulders.
Presumably friends who know history know that in the Northeast Battlefield, the people's army led by General Lin under his leadership grew stronger and stronger, especially after the Liaoshen Campaign, the number of soldiers in this army was about 1 million, becoming the largest main field army at that time.
During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Comrade Jianying served as the chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, and later assisted Premier Zhou in doing united front work in the national control area, and had strong coordination ability. At the same time, Comrade Jianying was also one of the important members of the base camp during the liberation period.
