The Second Field Army is an army led by Liu Bocheng, and was formerly the Central Plains Field Army. In February 1949, after the end of Huaihai Battle , the Central Plains Field Army was reorganized into the Second Field Army, referred to as the "Second Field Army" in accordance with the order of the Central Military Commission. At the end of the War of Liberation, the Second Field Army marched into Southwest , making great contributions to the liberation of the Southwest region. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many generals of the Second Field Army also stayed in to work in Southwest region, and were not scattered everywhere until the mid-1950s.
It is worth mentioning that after the founding of New China, five senior cadres in the Second Field Army made mistakes, and they were all expelled from the party. Among these five, the highest positions even reached the vice-national level. So, who are these five Second Field generals who made mistakes? What mistakes did they all make?
first, Liu Feng
During the Liberation War, Liu Feng served as the brigade commander of the 11th Brigade of the 4th Column of the Central Plains Field Army. In 1949, his troops were reorganized into the Fourth Corps of the Second Field Army. Liu Feng also served as the commander of the 40th Division of the 14th Army. Under the leadership of Liu Bocheng and others, he participated in the battle to march into the southwest. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Feng was awarded the rank of major general and became the founding major general. In 1967, after the Wuhan July 20 incident, Liu Feng was appointed as the new political commissar of Wuhan Military Region .
However, in 1971, during Chairman Mao's southern tour, Liu Feng revealed the content of Chairman Mao's conversation to Li Zuopeng. After the September 13 incident, he was removed from his post and expelled from the party. In 1982, Liu Feng was ordered to retire from active service and hand over to the local area to resettle, and enjoy division-level treatment in his later years.
Second, Wang Jinshan
Wang Jinshan is also a famous general in the Second Field Army. During the Liberation War, he served as commander of the Sixth Column of the Central Plains Field Army, and other positions.

Since then, he followed the Second Field Army to participate in the battle to march into the southwest, making great contributions to the liberation of the southwest region.
After the founding of the country, Wang Jinshan was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, but he filed for divorce from his wife due to emotional problems. At that time, the central government happened to strictly control such issues, and Wang Jinshan was regarded as a typical case and was punished. In 1964, Wang Jinshan was removed from his post and his military rank was demoted to colonel. He was also expelled from the party and transferred to a farm in Henan to serve as deputy director. Before the Ninth National Congress was held, Wang Jinshan wrote a letter to Chairman Mao, proactively admitting his mistake. Since then, he returned to work and not only restored his party membership, but also served as deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region.

After the founding of New China, he was ordered to lead the troops to participate in Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea . However, during his time in North Korea, Yoon Xianbing lived a corrupt life, was addicted to pleasure, and remained unchanged after repeated teachings. In 1956, Yoon Xianbing was expelled from the party, and at the same time, he was also the only commander who did not receive the rank of general or above.

Chen Yunkai's problems were the same as Yin Xianbing, but Chen Yunkai woke up in time and corrected them seriously. When he was awarded the rank of major general in 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general. However, during the special period of ten years, Chen Yunkai made a mistake, which also led to his expulsion from the party.
Fifth, Xie Fuzhi
Xie Fuzhi served as the political commissar of the Third Corps of the Second Field Army during the War of Liberation, and followed the Second Field Army to participate in the battle to liberate the Southwest. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xie Fuzhi mainly worked in the southwest region and served as the first commander of the Kunming Military Region. After that, Xie Fuzhi was transferred to Beijing and served as Minister of Public Security and Vice Premier of the State Council, and was promoted to the vice-national level.
However, Xie Fuzhi, who was in a high position, made serious mistakes, especially after the beginning of the special period of ten years, Xie Fuzhi colluded with Kang Sheng and others to persecute a large number of founding fathers and revolutionary cadres.In 1980, during the review of the "two cases", the task force found out that Xie Fuzhi had created a series of unjust, false and wrong cases, and he was expelled from the party because Xie Fuzhi had passed away for many years at that time, so he was exempted from prosecution.
