After the reorganization of the army, Ceng Kelin took part in the military parade in Beiping. Lin, commander of the four fields, talked to him and said bluntly, the army will set up a chariot division and transfer you to be a teacher.
Although he was adjusted many times during the war of liberation, he felt a little sudden about the sudden personnel transfer.
1945 after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Ceng Kelin led his troops to Shenyang in the northeast, becoming the first person to pass customs. In his later military career, he served as the deputy commander of Liaodong Military Region, then transferred to the commander of the third longitudinal military region, then transferred to the commander of Liaonan Military Region, and then changed to the deputy commander of the seventh longitudinal military region and the deputy commander of the 44th Army.
It is not easy for ordinary people to suddenly change from deputy commander to teacher. Mr. Lin also dispelled his concerns and retained his treatment as an army cadre. In other words, it is the position of the teacher and the treatment of the deputy teacher.
When it comes to chariot division, it can also be called armored force, because tanks are the main ones.
1945 12. The Northeast Army seized five tanks from the enemy to form a tank brigade. At 1946, the enemy was also frightened by more captured battlefields. 1947 10, the tank brigade was expanded into a chariot regiment and participated in the later Liaoshen Campaign and Pingjin Campaign.
1949 In February, the Tank Division was established, which was also the first tank division in the history of the People's Liberation Army. This is a glorious task, with great responsibility and great pressure.
So Ceng Kelin was ordered to bid farewell to the 44th Army and come to Tianjin to form an army. The Chariot Division has two armored regiments, one chariot regiment and one antiaircraft artillery regiment, with a total of 180 armored vehicles and 120 vehicles of various types, with more than 6,500 personnel.
However, Ceng Kelin only worked in the Chariot Division for a few months before being transferred to the Air Force. In order to master flying skills, he studied in the First Aviation School of the Air Force.
After several months of theoretical study, they only practiced in the cockpit, and in the process of learning, they overcame the problems of vomiting and airsickness. He studied 1 for many years and graduated smoothly, becoming the first batch of generals in New China who mastered flying technology.
