Who were the top ten generals in the early days of New China?
General Su Yu (1907- 1984), one of the top ten generals in People's Republic of China (PRC): Su Yu, a native of Huitong County, Hunan Province. His military attainments and achievements are second to none in the whole army, even surpassing Lin Biao in many aspects. But he served as Chen Yi's deputy for a long time. After the founding of New China, he briefly served as chief of staff, but he was not in this important position when he was awarded the title, and his qualifications can only be compared with that of Luo Ronghuan. Chen Yi and the position of marshal of the New Fourth Army have been decided, while Sue only has the aggrieved share. General Xu Haidong (1900- 1970): Xu Haidong, a native of Huangpi county, Hubei province. As a representative of northern Shaanxi, his rank of general is completely typical of factional balance. During the Red Army's Long March, in addition to the three front armies, an independent Long March army first arrived in northern Shaanxi, namely the Red 25th Army. Xu Haidong is the surviving commander of this unit. After co-editing with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, Xu Haidong became the head of this unit. As mentioned in Si Nuo's Red Star over China, Chiang Kai-shek called Xu Haidong "a great harm to civilization". Due to a serious lung injury in the war, he could not work soon after he started in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and he was in a state of rest until his death in 70. Liu Zhidan, a representative of northern Shaanxi, was killed and Jeremy goldkorn committed suicide. Xu Haidong is the tallest figure in this school. He has always been honest and kind, and never struggles with the world. Giving him a general won't cause imbalance. General Huang Kecheng (1902- 1986): Huang Kecheng, a native of Yongxing County, Hunan Province. He is the representative of the Fourth Field Army. Compared with others, his resume and qualifications are debatable, but his position at that time was the chief of staff and secretary-general of the Central Military Commission, which should be an important factor for him to win the rank of general. General Chen Geng (1903- 196 1): Chen Geng, a native of Hu Quan Village, Longdong Township, Xiangxiang County, Hunan Province. He is the representative of the Second Field Army. 1932, Chen Geng was tortured and indomitable after his arrest. Chiang Kai-shek tried his best to lure him in, but Chen Geng refused. After that, he managed to save himself and escape tactfully. At that time, he was the commander and political commissar of the Third Volunteer Army to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Although Chen Geng's military attainments and achievements are not outstanding, he is famous, and he is the best among the first-phase graduates of Whampoa Military Academy. In the famous "Three Heroes of Huangpu", Jiang Xianyun died in battle and went to Taiwan Province, leaving Chen Geng alone. General Tan Zheng (1902- 1988): Tan Zheng, a native of Xiangxiang County, Hunan Province. He served as the director of the General Political Department, consistent with the situation of Marshal Luo Zhong Rong Huan, and was the representative of the work of the General Political Department. His capture of General Street also means that the characteristics of China's army have nothing to do with factional balance. Xiao (1903- 1989): Xiao was born in Changsha, Hunan. He is another representative of the Fourth Field Army. The position of naval commander is an important factor in his obtaining the rank of general. Of all the marshals and generals, only he studied naval business in the Soviet Union. In terms of qualifications, this is enough. In those days, there was a hat named after him in the inner-party struggle in Jiangxi Soviet area, which was called "small-scale right opportunism" General Zhang (1892- 1974) Resume: Zhang, a native of Wenchang County, Guangdong Province. He is another representative of the Third Field Army besides Su Yu, and it can almost be considered that his rank of general is entirely due to his qualifications. He is the oldest general and the only one who has participated in protecting the country and begging for Yuan. In the baise uprising, Guangxi, he served as the commander of Heqi Army. After leaving the team, Deng Xiaoping led He Qijun to fight hard and entered the Central Soviet Area, where Ren Hongjun served as deputy chief of staff. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, his rank in East China was always higher than that of Su Yu. Ye Ting served as the commander of the New Fourth Army, and he served as the chief of staff and commander of the second detachment; Chen Yi is the commander and he is the deputy commander. Hua Ye was founded and successively served as deputy commander and chief of staff. No one can compare with others in these positions. General Luo Ruiqing (1906- 1978): Luo Ruiqing, a native of Nanchong county, Sichuan province. He is a representative of the North China Field Army. His military performance and command ability are relatively average, and his qualifications are not outstanding. He was a controversial figure when he won the general public. At that time, he was the commander of the public security army and the minister of public security. His work was of a special nature and directly related to the highest level. He was a rising star in the military circles within the Party at that time, and it was he who took over Huang Kecheng's chief of staff and secretary general of the Military Commission after the Lushan meeting. General Wang Shusheng (1905- 1974): Wang Shusheng, a native of Macheng County, Hubei Province. He is the representative of the Red Fourth Front Army. Consistent with the situation of Marshal Xu, although there was no impressive record in Wang Shusheng War, and even his position in the War of Liberation was lower than that of most generals, being the deputy commander of the Red Fourth Army alone was enough to guarantee his rank as a general. When he was appointed, his position was the same as Chen Geng's, and he was both the Deputy Minister of Defense. General Xu Guangda (1908- 1969): Xu Guangda, born in Changsha, Hunan. As a representative of the Red Second Army generals, he is the last and most controversial figure among the top ten generals. His position, qualifications and resume are obviously lower than others. He only serves as a teacher in the Red Army and is not enough to represent the Red Second Front Army. Due to the limited number of senior generals produced by the Red Second Army, Li Da, chief of staff, was excluded from the general because of his limited qualifications. Xiao Ke, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Red Army, is the most qualified candidate, but he supported Zhang's route in the Long March, which is incompatible with Peng, who is in charge of the Military Commission at this time. In addition, his position as deputy director of the General Staff Supervision Department and minister of the Army Training Department is low, so he didn't get the position of general. An important factor in awarding the rank of General Xu Guangda is that China is building its own armored forces with the help of the Soviet Union. In order to negotiate on an equal footing, China's armored commander should have the same rank as that of the Soviet Union. As the commander of armored forces, Xu Guangda naturally won the rank of general and became a special case among the chief officers of various services and arms.
