At that time, the above rankings were mainly found in resumes and reports, and I generally understood them, but they were not widely implemented. Only a few commanders have worn this rank. For example, Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, wears the rank of lieutenant general. * * The military museum still has photos of him wearing the rank of lieutenant general to give a report in the New Fourth Army. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to deal with the * * * army conveniently, some comrades engaged in United front work in our army also wore ranks. [Author: Warriors]
