"The train runs fast because of the headband."
During the revolutionary period, people used this phrase to express their support and respect for the leadership of the party organization, and at the same time, it also reflected the unity of the party and the people on the mainland.
Looking back from today, in the long and turbulent period of revolution.
The revolutionary forefathers experienced more than several thousand battles, large and small.
And our new China,
But the conduct of the war, after all, is not the same as the development of politics.
The banner of one party and one government can be condensed into a powerful force with the aspirations of the people.
But in war,
In this way, the famous saying that the locomotive drives the train does not seem to apply here.
However, in fact, this is not the case, and in the revolutionary army of the modern period on the mainland, there was indeed an army contingent that could be called the "head of the whole army."
This contingent was not only one of the main forces of the whole army during the revolutionary period.
It is also a human resource incubation base for other units of the same army to provide general talents.
For this reason, we call this unit the head unit that pulls the combat strength of the whole army.
In the early stage when our party officially embarked on the road of armed revolution, there were four future founding generals in this army at the same time - two generals and two generals.
So today, I will tell you about one of the modern revolutionary periods in the mainland.
The main force personally formed by the leaders of our party at that time - the 1st Red Division.
The commander of the first division of that year and the future founding general
However, due to the war and other reasons, a large number of historical materials about this unit were lost, and there was no time to take care of the subsequent data replenishment work in the environment at that time.
This led to a vague compilation of the predecessor of the Red First Division.
But indisputably.
In 1933, the 1st Red Division was established.
As the first division of the First Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, it was the main division.
Within its team, there are many heroes.
Let's talk about the commander of the Red First Division at that time.
This person was General Chen Geng, one of the founding generals of the future New China, who responded to the call of the revolution and led the team to participate in the south
The first group of armed revolutionaries in the Chang Uprising.
After the Nanchang Uprising, General Chen was in charge of intelligence in Shanghai.
Three years later, he led the Red Fourth Army to fight on the front line.
Then the Anti-Japanese War.
General Chen Geng's figure in the front-line war of resistance and commanding the battle,
He made great contributions to the success of the Anti-Japanese War and the revolutionary cause.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China
General Tran rushed to the battlefield in Vietnam as a member of the central delegation.
As a military adviser, he helped the liberation of Vietnam, and on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, he relayed Mr. Peng and completed the combat mission excellently.
The second founding general and political pillar Tan Zheng
In this process, the Red First Division, which had the most combat experience and had the most contact with the types of battles, also accumulated the most rich combat experience.
The 1st Red Division, as the big brother in the main force.
Its original troops, as well as the bloodline troops that were separated from the 1st Red Division.
It has always been the weapon that threatens the enemy the most.
However, the outstanding combat capability was not the full embodiment of the quality of this unit of the 1st Red Division;
- You know, on the road of revolution.
Armed struggle is only a necessary way and means to carry out the revolution.
And the 1st Red Division, the core combat force of the revolution.
And this is closely related to the second backbone of the Red First Division that we are going to introduce.
This person's name is Tan Zheng.
Like General Liu, he is one of the top ten founding generals of the mainland.
But unlike everyone's consistent impression of the "general" in their hearts,
General Tan is highly educated.
At that time, such talents were relatively rare in our army.
So under the recommendation of General Chen Geng, Tan Zheng decisively chose to join the army.
In 1927, he took the opportunity of the Autumn Harvest Uprising to join the revolutionary cause of the Party organization.
Since then, General Tan has been mostly engaged in party work.
Work compared to the front line of the battlefield.
Although it is less dangerous to face the smoke of artillery fire, it bears a higher risk and more serious consequence of the mission - escorting the ideological path.
In the course of the revolution, deviations in ideology can easily cause huge negative effects.
If the correct line of defense is not maintained at all times, the revolutionary cause will lead directly to defeat and collapse.
And General Tan was in the revolutionary ranks, turning the tide many times.
Armed to the teeth, two "Admiral Commanders"
If General Chen is concerned, he was the operational brain of the 1st Red Division at that time.
General Tan is the ideological pillar.
Then the next two to be introduced are the left and right fists used by the Red First Division to hit the enemy.
They were the two commanders of the Red First Division and the two founding generals of New China - General Yang Dezhi and General Yang Chengwu.
Regiment commander, as a middle position in the unit.
It is an important intermediate link in accepting combat orders from higher levels and issuing orders for combat in accordance with the command.
How powerful a unit can perform.
A large part of the reason is the quality of the weight from this intermediate link.
They can understand the command instructions of their superiors to the greatest extent and quickly grasp the details of the situation.
And the combat styles of these two are also very brave.
It has greatly promoted and helped in improving morale and combat quality.
And these two regiment commanders served in the Red 1st Regiment and the Red 32nd Regiment of the 1st Red Division.
After years of polishing and training, they have finally become a generation of generals who can take charge of themselves and shoulder the mission of combat command.
The 1st Red Division is the honor and pride of the party and the guardian of the country and the nation.
