Speaking of the headquarters in the history of our army, many people will think of the General Political Department and the General Staff Department; at that time, the People's Liberation Army had eight major headquarters and one headquarters, which did not exist for a long time, but its status was higher than that of the General Political Department, second only to the General Staff Department, which was the Training Director Department.
From its establishment in 1955 to its abolition in 1958, the history of the Existence of the Training Directorate was only 3 years, but it left a very brilliant mark in the history of our army. The training director department has a high status, and the cadre staffing is also quite high.
The first minister to be appointed was Marshal Liu Bocheng, the fourth-ranked marshal, who was in a higher position than Luo Ronghuan, director of the General Political Department. Unfortunately, Liu Bocheng did not arrive at the post, and he served as the director of the military academy in Nanjing, and he could not get out of his body at all. The position of Dean had to be replaced by someone else.
The acting minister was also a marshal, and he was Ye Jianying. The Director of Training Department and the Acting Minister are all marshals, and there are 6 deputy ministers who are also the heads of 6 departments. Of these 6 vice ministers, all of them are founding generals.
The first deputy minister, who also served as the head of the Combat Training Department, was Xiao Ke, the first founding general of the people's republic of China. Xiao Ke graduated from the Huangpu Ivy, has a very old revolutionary qualification, participated in the Nanchang Uprising, served as the commander of the Red Sixth Army during the Red Army, and was the deputy commander of the 120th Division during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
During the Liberation War, Xiao Ke fought in the North China Battlefield for a long time, serving as deputy commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, deputy commander of the North China Military Region, and deputy to Marshal Nie Glory. At the end of the Liberation War, Liu Yalou changed to the commander of the corps and went to the front line to lead the troops to fight, lin Biao invited Xiao Ke to serve as the chief of staff of Siye and went south with the Siye army.
Xiao Ke has both a high level of military theory and rich experience in commanding operations, and he is well deserved to serve as the head of the Combat Training Department.
The second vice minister, who also served as minister of planning and supervision, was Li Da, the second founding general of the People's Republic of China. Li Da was also the vice minister of national defense, and as the chief of staff of Liu Deng's army, Li Da had excellent military qualities, resourcefulness, hard work, and good at formulating various combat plans.

The third vice minister, who also served as the director of the school management department, was Zhang Zongxun, the third general of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and a high-caliber student of the Whampoa Military Academy, who participated in the autumn harvest uprising led by Chairman Mao and had very old revolutionary qualifications. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhang Zongxun was one of the six brigade commanders of the Eighth Route Army.
In the liberation battlefield, Zhang Zongxun was always the deputy of Mr. Peng, and served as the deputy commander of the Northwest Field Army and the First Field Army, and his status was comparable to that of Su Yu. Zhang Zongxun was also deputy chief of the general staff and Su Yu's deputy.
The fourth vice minister, who also served as the minister of science and ordinance, was one-armed general Peng Shaohui. Peng Shaohui was the old subordinate of General Manager Peng, serving as the commander of the column and the main army commander in the northwest battlefield, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Northwest Military Region.
Although he only has one arm, Peng Shaohui has carried out his work conscientiously with superhuman perseverance and has done a great deal of work for the regularization of our military's scientific regulations.
The fifth vice minister, who also served as the director of the Ministry of Military Training, was General Zhou Shidi. The Department of Military Training is mainly responsible for the military training of students, and this Zhou Shidi is the best at it; he graduated from the Huangpu Phase I, has a strong level of military theory, and has served as chief of staff in the army for a long time, and is known as a master.

The sixth vice minister, who also served as the minister of military publications, was General Guo Tianmin, who graduated from the sixth term of the Huangpu period. Throughout his life, Guo Tianmin not only led soldiers on the front line, such as serving as the commander of the Red Army division, but also the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Chen Geng Corps, and also served in the central organs.
At the beginning of the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Guo Tianmin served as the director of the Operations Bureau of the Central Military Commission and was an important senior counselor of Chairman Mao. For the publication of military publications and books, he can strictly control from a professional point of view.
Careful readers and friends have seen that 4 of the 6 deputy ministers of the training director department are high-caliber students of the Whampoa Military Academy. The function of the army in the war years is to fight wars, and when it has entered a period of peace, it is mainly to engage in training if it does not fight a war.
You have to use professional people to do professional things. Whether it is Liu Bocheng, Ye Jianying, or the 6 vice ministers, they are all senior talents majoring in military theory, and they are gathered together, and the status of the training director department is of course high.
