Original question: During the War of Liberation, who had stronger fighting capacity, the Fourth Field Army or the Third Field Army? During the Zhang Liberation War, the Third Field Army (East China Field Army) and the Fourth Field Army (Northeast Field Army) were the two most powerful front armies. The former has a maximum of 825,000 troops, while the latter reaches more than 1 10,000 (excluding military units). The performances of the two armies are also different: First, the Third Field Army wiped out the largest number of troops, 2.45 million of the 8.07 million troops, ranking first in the whole army, and wiped out the second of Chiang Kai-shek's five main forces to reorganize the 74th Division and the Fifth Army. In addition, 65,438+10,000 people were sent to assist the Central Plains Field Army (Second Field Army) to annihilate 18 Army; Although the Four Fields only wiped out more than 1.8 million people, they crossed the longest area, hitting Hainan Island from the northeast (most of North China and the Central Plains were old liberated areas, passing by), and at the same time, they also knocked out two new six armies and one new army among Chiang Kai-shek's five main forces. Second, the Third Field Army has four regiments, namely, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth regiments, with a total of 15 people, making it the field army with the largest number of arms. There are four corps under the jurisdiction of the Four Fields: the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th Corps, but only the 12 Corps. Third, after the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the establishment of the field army was abolished, and a military region was established in 1955. The original loose leaf shape became Ning, Fu and * * *; The first four fields formed Shenyang, Wuhan and * * *. 4. The Sanye Theater is located in East China and the Central Plains, in the heart of * * *, undertaking the heaviest tasks, facing the most enemies, and fighting the most vicious battles, including: seven victories in seven wars, the battle of northern Jiangsu, the battle of southern Shandong, the battle of Laiwu, the battle of Menglianggu, the battle of eastern Henan, the battle of Jinan, the battle of Huaihai, the battle of crossing the river and the battle of Shanghai. The four fields war zone is in the northeast, and both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party attach great importance to it. However, after Su Yu of Sanye commanded the Battle of Eastern Henan and the Battle of Jinan, Lin Biao of Siye finally made up his mind to fight Jinzhou and started the Liaoshen Campaign. Fifth, the Third Field was mainly developed from the New Fourth Army, which was adapted from the guerrillas of the Southern Red Army. The fourth field was developed from the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division adapted by the Red Army. 6. The command system of Sanye is very special. The commander and political commissar is Chen Yi, but * * and the Central Military Commission have instructions: "Under the leadership of Chen Yi, the combat command is handed over to Su Yu", that is, Chen Yi is responsible for personnel rights and Su Yu is responsible for combat command; Later, Chen Yi also left Sanye headquarters for a long time. In fact, Su Yu, acting commander and political commissar, presided over the work as deputy commander. The commander of the four fields, Lin Biao, is in full command, with both power and combat command. Seven, commissioned 1955 in September, there was only one marshal Chen Yi in Sanye, and Su Yu, the deputy commander in charge of campaign command, was awarded the first general; There are two marshals in the Four Fields: Lin Biao and Luo Ronghuan. There is no doubt that the fighting capacity of these two strongest troops is unique in the world, and it is hard to say. But an accident seems to mean something. 1 August, 9471day, the East China Field Army (the predecessor of Sanye) set up the Guangdong-Guangxi column on the basis of the Dongjiang column withdrawn northward. The commander Zeng Sheng and the political commissar Lei have jurisdiction over three regiments, with a total of more than 3,600 people. In order to protect this special unit from Guangdong, Chen Yi and Su Yu rarely let this unit participate in the war in the early stage, but mostly conducted education and training. At the same time, it is stipulated that all ministries captured from Guangdong and Guangxi who are willing to participate in * * * will be sent to the Guangdong and Guangxi columns, and no department may intercept them. It was not until the battles in Nanma and Linqu were very tense that Su Yu sent the Guangdong-Guangxi column to the front for the first time. Subsequently, in the Eastern Henan Campaign and the Huaihai Campaign, due to the tense war, Su Yu, acting commander of the East China Field Army, repeatedly regarded the Guangdong-Guangxi column as a general infantry column, making it responsible for blocking aid and tackling key problems. The column of Guangdong and Guangxi also grew up in the battle of blood and fire, and became a strong force under Su Yu. Su Yu, acting commander and political commissar of the East China Field Army, awarded the Guangdong-Guangxi Column Order 1949. In March, the Central Military Commission divided the Guangdong-Guangxi column from the Three Fields into the Four Fields, because the Four Fields were responsible for the operations in Guangdong. At this stage, a misunderstanding happened. According to Yuan Geng, the former head of the artillery regiment of the Guangdong-Guangxi column, director of the Hong Kong office of * * * and secretary of the Party Committee of Shekou Industrial Zone, he later recalled:194910 June/7, the Guangdong-Guangxi column, which had been transferred to the fourth field, was under the command of Wu Qiang, the deputy commander, and encircled the * * *154th Division in Longhua Market, Boluo County, Guangdong Province. After the encirclement was tightened, Zheng Yintong, deputy division commander of 154 Division, sent the head to contact him, saying that they had contacted the South China Branch about the uprising. The Guangdong-Guangxi column immediately ordered him to withdraw from the occupied hill and enter the town to accept the surrender and uprising ceremony. In the process of receiving, the artillery regiment led by Yuan Geng was shot and blocked when it received a hill continuously at night. The company commander immediately commanded an all-out attack, captured the hill in one fell swoop, and captured an "enemy" company and its company commander alive. Unexpectedly, this was a misunderstanding war in which our own people attacked another person: the captured company was not a division of *** 154, but a company of four famous heroes in Tashan's war of resistance, and the captured company commander was also named "the heroic company commander". While apologizing, the Guangdong and Guangxi columns are also very proud of their combat effectiveness. Yuan Geng, former head of artillery regiment of Guangdong and Guangxi columns.
