When the famous Northeast Field Army was established in 1948, it had only 110,000 people. After more than three years of battle, the East Field Army not only did not reduce its personnel, but its troops grew rapidly, reaching 1 million.

The famous Northeast Field Army was established in 1948, with only 110,000 people. After more than three years of battle, the East Field Army not only did not reduce its personnel, but its military strength increased rapidly, reaching 1 million. Compared with the 100,000 mid-ocean, 400,000 Huaye and 70,000 Nishino in the same period, it is in a leading position in terms of military strength, number of troops, or weapons and equipment comparison, and is a veritable "Ace Division".

When it comes to Higashino, the ones that cannot be avoided are several senior leaders of Higashino. As we all know, Dongye has outstanding achievements in combat, and when the commander and political commissar were awarded the title in 1955, they were both marshals in the first echelon. The third person, Liu Yalou, the chief of General Staff of Higashino, was only awarded the rank of general, and he was one level away from the former second leader. This made many military fans who were familiar with General Liu Yalou stand up for him. Will there be any hidden feelings? What's going on?

When the Central Military Commission decided to assess military ranks for generals who participated in wars in various periods, it was definitely strict and cautious. For this reason, a special evaluation team was established, and the team leader was Shuai Luo. Luo Shuai is Liu Yalou's boss and partner. He has worked together for many years. Whether it is military achievements or nature, it is impossible for Luo Shuai to not understand Liu Yalou. From this aspect, it is impossible for Luo Shuai to deliberately "belittle" Liu Yalou's achievements. Seeking truth from facts and adhering to principles is definitely the only measure for evaluating military rank.

Then analyze from the position held by Liu Yalou, relatively speaking, there is indeed a big gap between the military decision-making, command and management capabilities that the chief of staff can play in the army compared to the commander and political commissar.

If compared with the awarding of several generals of the same level in other field armies, Liu Yalou's rank is higher or equivalent to those of the chiefs of staff. For example, Chen Shiju of Huaye and Li Da from Nakano are both generals, and Yan Kui of Nishino is one level lower and is a lieutenant general.

Let’s take a look at the generals who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, such as the first chief of staff, Xie Fang. Many friends are also familiar with this general who combines wisdom and talent. In 1955, he only won the rank of major general.

Liu Yalou was born in poverty, and his biological mother died of illness the day after he was born. Liu Yalou had to go to the same hometown. In the new family, Liu Yalou received a good private school education and entered a regular primary school.

Liu Yalou did not graduate from Middle School. Later, he worked as a primary school teacher for a period of time. During this period, he gradually received progressive ideas and carried out a revolutionary movement in his hometown. He also organized the establishment of the youth " Iron Blood Group ". In 1929, Liu Yalou joined the party.

Liu Yalou participated in Red Army , and was brave and resourceful in combat. He was once known as "elves" and performed well in all anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns. Later, he participated in Long March . After arriving in northern Shaanxi, he entered Anti-Great University in June 1936. After graduation, he worked in post-war education organization for a period of time.

1939, Liu Yalou was assigned to the Soviet Union to study and participated in the Soviet Red Army. He performed bravely in the Patriotic War and was awarded the rank of major. In 1945, Liu Yalou also entered the Northeast with the Soviet Red Army to fight against the Japanese invaders.

It is precisely because of this experience that after entering the War of Liberation, Liu Yalou continued to stay in the Northeast and participated in the establishment and combat command of Dongye.

But perhaps it was because he had not fought at home for a long time from 1936 to 1945, so he missed an important experience. He must have suffered a little more than other generals who had participated in the Anti-Japanese War in China in when evaluating military ranks.

Whether it is analyzed from Liu Yalou's military experience or compared horizontally with other comrades of the same level as field army , it is quite reasonable and fair for Liu Yalou to obtain the rank of general. We ordinary people cannot guess whether there will be any partiality in this just by relying on their different familiarity with certain generals.

Liu Yalou has worked and studied in the Soviet Union, so he has a series of relatively systematic military qualities and his staff operations are also very systematic.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Yalou became the first commander of our air force, so he was highly famous. After

, Liu Yalou was also elected as a member of the Central Military Commission and served as deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense. Unfortunately, Liu Yalou died of illness at the age of good dedication to our party and our army at the age of 55.
