In the photo, the far left is the outstanding political general General Xiao Hua. /kloc-joined the red army at the age of 0/2 and became the youngest red army soldier in the team. Before Xiao Hua joined the revolution, he was the son of an ordinary peasant, who had never been to school or military school. It was after joining the Red Army that he was arranged to study in the Red Army School and became the youngest student.
1933, General Xiao Hua, who was only 17 years old, became the division political commissar of the International Department of the Communist Youth League of China. This position is equivalent to a divisional general. With him is the famous Red Army general Chen Guang. They are all excellent Red Army generals, Xiao Hua is an excellent political general and Chen Guang is an excellent military general.
Xiaohua is not only good at ideological work in the army, but also very talented. The famous Long March Suite is his literary classic. In the later wars of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and liberation, General Xiao Hua was engaged in political work in the army. At work, he worked with generals such as Luo Shuai and Xiao Guangjin.
On the right of General Xiao Hua is the famous General Deng Hua. He is an excellent tactical commander in the history of our army, and at the same time, he is also a very successful general in transformation. In fact, during General Deng Hua's military career, he was also engaged in political work at the beginning. He served as the political commissar of the Red Army Corps, the political commissar of the Red 2 Division, and the political commissar of the Red 1 Division. Including the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Deng Hua was still engaged in political work and served as the director of the Political Department of the 685th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division. At this time, the person in charge is Yang Dezhi.
When was that? Deng Hua became an independent military general. 194 1 autumn, Deng Hua, who performed very well in all aspects, was appointed as the fourth division commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region by his superiors, leading the Eighth Route Army soldiers to fight in the base areas and repeatedly breaking the "occupation" and "mopping up" of the Japanese puppet troops. That is to say, from this moment on, Deng Hua will be the military commander of our army for the rest of his life.
During the liberation period, General Deng Hua's military career reached its first peak. He served as commander of the seventh column, commander of the 44th Army, and commander of the 15 Corps, and led the Corps south to participate in the liberation war to liberate Central China and South China. Just after the victory of the Liberation War, General Deng Hua's military career reached a new peak, and he became the first deputy commander of the Volunteers to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. During this period, he participated in and directed five battles, including Shangganling Campaign and Jincheng Counter-offensive, and made great contributions to the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
On the right of General Deng Hua is General Gansiqi, who is also an excellent political general. During the ten-year Agrarian Revolutionary War, Gan Siqi was one of the important members of the headquarters of the Red Second Army, mainly responsible for the propaganda and organization of the Red Second Army.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Gan Siqi was still engaged in his old job, responsible for the propaganda and organization of the Eighth Route Army. During the War of Liberation, Gan Siqi participated in the Northwest Liberation War with Zhang Zongxun, Peng Zong and others. During this period, Gan Siqi served as deputy political commissar and director of the political department.
The lady on the right of General Gansiqi is his wife, General Li Zhen. At the same time, she was also the first female general in the history of our army (/kloc-0 was awarded the rank of major general in 955). During the revolutionary war years, Li Zhen and General Gan Siqi became revolutionary husband and wife and joined the revolutionary cause together.
I believe many people know that in 1955 after the victory of the revolutionary war, Xiao Hua, Deng Hua and Gan Siqi were all awarded the rank of general, while Ms. Li Zhen was awarded the rank of major general.
