1955 In the national grand prix, he was awarded the rank of major, and won the third-class medal of independence and freedom and the third-class medal of liberation.
1958 set up a missile battalion, 1959 laid down a Kuomintang plane. In that year, it was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Later, he got off the plane many times, and 1962 was promoted to the rank of colonel. 1964 promoted to senior colonel.
Arguably, with his ability, it is also very possible to award the rank of major general again.
It's a pity that our country abolished the rank system at that time in 65, so he stayed at the level of senior colonel. Although later Yue Zhenhua senior colonel became the deputy chief of staff of the Northern Air Force.
By the time 1988, China started the military rank system again, Yue Zhenhua had retired. He retired in 85. Now it's all back. Then it is impossible to grade again.
