At the end of 1949, the War of Liberation was coming to an end. Due to the needs of actual conditions, the party, government and military institutions in various places were gradually reformed. In February of the following year, on the basis of the six administrative regions, the central government established six major military regions, Northeast China, North China, Central and South China, Central and Southwest, and each military region is responsible for the construction of national defense projects in its region.
Although the main force of the Kuomintang had been defeated at that time, there were still sporadic wars in some local areas, so a major responsibility of the six major military regions was to protect the peace under it.
Among these six military regions, except for the Northeast, the commanders of other military regions were all marshals, and eight marshals worked in these six military regions back then. What are their positions? What jobs are there with the other two marshals doing?
Among the six major military regions in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the only one who did not serve in the position of marshal was Northeast Military Region . Many people may refute this when they see this, what about General Lin, Luo Shuai and others?
Indeed, the strength of the Northeast Military Region during the War of Liberation was obvious to all. However, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the army of Fourth Field had already moved south, and Mr. Lin and others were no longer in the Northeast. At this time, the commander and political commissar of the Northeast Military Region was Gao Gaoshangang, the deputy commander was He Jinnian , and the deputy political commissar was Li Fuchun.
In fact, the list of marshals who were originally intended to be awarded in 1953 was Gao Gaoshangang. at that time vice chairman of the Military Commission at that time included Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Peng Dehuai, Lin Biao, Gaoshangang. Later, seven new people were added: Liu Bocheng, He Long, Chen Yi , Luo Ronghuan, Xu Xiangqian, Nie Rongzhen, and Ye Jianying. The list of
is very intuitive. Liu and Zhou took the initiative to humblely refuse to participate in the awarding of the title. The rest are all marshals except the tall hills. Don’t go to the misunderstanding here. At the beginning of , the marshal did not specify the number of people. It was just that the ten people were selected in the end, so that we were familiar with the top ten marshals.
If the tall hills were still alive, maybe he really had a chance, but he died in August 1954. In 1955, the main body of the Northeast Military Region was reorganized into the Shenyang Military Region.
North China Military Region is the earliest established among the six major military regions. It was formed in May 1948 by Jinchaji Military Region and Jinji Shandong-Hebei Military Region . The commander of is Nie Rongzhen, the former commander of the Jin-Chaji Military Region. In addition to Marshal Nie, there is also a marshal in the North China Military Region, which is deputy commander Xu Xiangqian.
Xu Shuai 's ability is beyond words. In the late stage of the Liberation War, only a small number of troops were able to liberate half of Shanxi without heavy weapons, showing a strong military level.
After the central government entered Beiping , the North China Military Region was mainly responsible for defending the security of the central government. In 1955, the main body was reorganized into the Beijing Military Region.
East China Military Region was established relatively early, and many wars were also experienced during the Liberation War. For example, Huaihai Battle was carried out with troops under the East China Military Region as the main force. Military Region commander was Marshal Chen Yi, and the deputy commander was Su Yu , the first general, which was also amazing.
In fact, the military region political commissar Rao Shushi also had a high status at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but later he fell into a tangle and fell silent. Of course, he has already changed his politics, and even if he is successful, he will most likely not participate in the awarding of the title.
1955 The main body of the East China Military Region was adapted into Nanjing Military Region .
The strongest among the six major military regions is the Central and South Military Region, which is basically the old foundation of the Fourth Field Army. The four major corpses under their command have nearly 1.5 million people, from Baishan and Black Water to the southern island. This unit has made great achievements and this military region has a super strong lineup, with three marshals alone.
The commander of the Central South Military Region is General Lin, the political commissar Luo is Marshal Ye Jianying, and the deputy commander is Marshal Ye Jianying. After pacifying the Kuomintang army, they also experienced a difficult war to suppress bandits. For example, the famous Guangxi bandits suppression and Xiangxi bandits suppression and Xiangxi bandits suppression and were all led by the Central South Military Region.
1955, the main body of the Central South Military Region was adapted into Guangzhou Military Region .
Northwest Military Region was established quite early. In February 1949, He Long served as commander. However, after , after the founding of New China, General Peng served as commander, and political commissar Comrade Zhongxun was also a very powerful figure.
Objectively speaking, the land in the northwest region was barren at that time, and it was difficult to maintain the logistics of a huge force, so the overall strength of the military region was relatively weak. But the enemy they faced was the hundreds of thousands of Central Army direct troops of Hu Zongnan , and the pressure they were carrying was no less than that of other regions.
And they used a small number of troops to restrain a large number of elite national troops, which in itself is a great contribution. In 1955, the main body of the Northwest Military Region was adapted into Lanzhou Military Region .
Southwest Military Region was formed by the merger of the Second Field Army and the Northwest Military Regional Organization where the 18th Corps entered Sichuan. The main force of liberating the Southwest Army mainly came from the Second Field Army. However, the commander of the Southwest Military Region was not Liu Bocheng, the commander of the Second Field Army, but He Long.
He Long led the 18th Corps to participate in the battle to liberate the southwest, and also made a lot of contributions. At that time, the commander of the Second Field Army Liu Bocheng had other plans in his mind. , the southwest region, , also needed a senior general to take charge, so He Long was allowed to serve as the commander of the military region, which can be regarded as the regret of CEO He not being able to become the commander of the field army.
The political commissar of the military region is also Deng Gong, and they have made great contributions to stabilizing the situation in southwest . In 1955, the main body of the Southwest Military Region was adapted into Chengdu Military Region .
From the above content, we can know that there were two marshals who did not serve in the major military regions at that time: Liu Bocheng and Zhu. Liu Bocheng also made outstanding contributions in the war years, but after a series of wars, he keenly realized that our military cadres were lacking in military level.
In order to enable the People's Liberation Army to complete modernization and regularization as soon as possible, Liu Shuai took the initiative to ask to establish Nanjing Military Academy to cultivate more talents for the army.
Since November 1950, Liu Shuai has become the dean and political commissar of Military Academy . His focus is here, so he naturally did not serve in the military region.
, and Mr. Zhu has been the soul of the People's Army since the Red Army period. From the founding of the army to the victory of the revolution, he has always been in an important position.
Since the Eighth Route Army period, in addition to going to the military region several times to boost morale, General Zhu spent most of his time in charge of the central command. With him, the whole army will feel at ease.
On the day of the founding of New China, Zhu De was appointed as Vice Chairman of the Central People's Government and Vice Chairman of the People's Revolutionary Military Commission, and continued to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the People's Liberation Army.
is precisely because of this irreplaceable and important role. Mr. Zhu always doesn’t specifically serve in any military region. He is the one who gives orders, and the commander of the military region is the one who executes the orders. Mr. Zhu's transcendent status is unmatched by the entire army.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that other marshals are not important. Each of them is the top talents of that era, and everyone plays a unique role in history.
pays tribute to the top ten marshals who have made outstanding contributions!
