Since the founding of the Nanchang Uprising of 1881, our army has gone through a period of arduous struggle and development, from the Red First, Red Second, and Red Fourth Front Army during the Agrarian Revolution, to the Eighth Route Army, New Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War, and then to the five major field armies during the Liberation War (1, 2, 3, Fourth Field Army and North China Field Army), from weak to strong, he also witnessed the victory of our party's revolution.
After the founding of New China, considering the national unification situation, the central government ordered the abolition of the field army organization and integrated the six major military regions of Northeast China, North China , Northwest China, East China, Central and South China , and Southwest China.
By 1955, with the end of the Korean War, the international situation further stabilized, and the central government once again re-planned the military region and divided the six military regions in the wartime system into twelve military regions.
where Northeast Military Region is changed to Shenyang Military Region, Northwest Military Region is divided into Lanzhou Military Region and Xinjiang Military Region , North China Military Region divides the Beijing Military Region and the Inner Mongolia Military Region, East China Military Region is divided into Nanjing Military Region and Jinan Military Region , Central and Southern Military Region is divided into Guangzhou Military Region and Wuhan Military Region , Southwest Military Region is divided into Chengdu Military Region , Tibet Military Region and Kunming Military Region.
11956, the situation in the Taiwan Strait was tense. The central government ordered the separation of Fujian and Jiangxi in the Nanjing Military Region and the formation of the Fuzhou Military Region to specifically deal with the military struggle along the coast of Fujian. The number of military regions in my country increased from twelve to 13, which was also the period with the largest number of military regions in our army.
According to the changes in the situation, our army merged the Inner Mongolia Military Region into the Beijing Military Region in 1967, and merged the Tibet Military Region into the Chengdu Military Region in 1969, forming the eleven military regions model that lasted for nearly ten years. It was during this period that our army had an event that was personally proposed and promoted by Chairman Mao and attracted attention at home and abroad - the commanders of the Eight Military Regions were exchanged.
11973, considering the needs of military construction and preparation work, the Chairman said something at the Politburo meeting, which kicked off this major event.
I suggest that we discuss a military issue, and commanders of major military regions across the country will mobilize each other... One person has been in the same place for a long time, but it won't work. After a long time, it's so oily.
Which eight military regions are they? Who are the eight commanders involved?
1. Beijing Military Region Commander Li Desheng and Shenyang Military Region Commander Chen Xilian exchanged
Li Desheng was born in 1916. He participated in the revolution at the age of 12 and led the way, delivered letters and kept watch for Red Army . At the age of 14, he officially joined the army and fought with the Red Fourth Front Army. During this period, he was injured and disabled from his left hand. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he served as the regiment commander in Taihang Military Region. He experienced many battles and led a battalion to defeat a brigade of the Japanese army. When facing the "sweeping-up" of the Taihang base by tens of thousands of Japanese troops, he was ordered to lead his troops to snipe the enemy and successfully cover the breakthrough of the Eighth Route Army headquarters. During the Liberation War, Li Desheng served as regiment commander, brigade commander, and division commander. He participated in major battles such as the Thousand Miles of Leaping into the Dabie Mountains, encirclement and annihilation of Huang Wei Corps, and the Battle of Crossing the River. He served as deputy commander and chief of staff of the Army during the Korean War. In the fifth battle, he led his troops to annihilate nearly 20,000 enemies and achieved major results. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general.
11 In January 1971, Li Desheng served as the commander of the Beijing Military Region. He did not serve for a long time in 1973, but his position changed for the overall situation of "commander transfer", so the chairman also called him "a gangster".
The reputation of founding general Chen Xilian is familiar with everyone. He served as the brigade commander of the 385th Brigade under Liu Bocheng. In fact, the warlords were captured alive in the War of Liberation. Before liberation, he was already the commander of the 3rd Corps of the Second Field Army. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Liberation Army, he was soon appointed as the commander of the artillery of the People's Liberation Army, with a high position.
After serving in the artillery for 9 years, Chen Xilian was transferred to commander of the Shenyang Military Region in 1959, and has served this position for fourteen years, so he was included in the military commander's reconciliation plan.
After that, General Chen Xilian also served as Vice Premier of the State Council. After the death of the Chairman, he once replaced Marshal Ye to be responsible for the work of the Military Commission , and there were rumors that he wanted to "seize power", but Comrade Xiaoping's words relieved him of the pressure: "Chen Xilian has no ambition."
2. Yang Dezhi, commander of Jinan Military Region, and Zeng Siyu, commander of Wuhan Military Region, switched
Founding General Yang Dezhi participated in the revolution as early as in the Hunan-South Uprising. After joining the troops with the troops, he fought bravely and performed outstandingly. He served as the commander of the Red Second Division at the age of 25. During the War of Liberation, he served as commander of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Field Army, commander of the 19th Corps. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, he also served as commander of the Volunteer Army, commander of the Shangganling Battle.
1955, he was appointed as the first commander of the Jinan Military Region. This took 18 years, which was longer than Chen Xilian's position as commander of the Shenyang Military Region, so it was time to have to change it.
Later, General Yang Dezhi served as commander of the Kunming Military Region and commanded the counterattack against Vietnam. Since then, he has served as deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense and chief of general staff, and devoted his life to the construction of our army.
Commander Zeng Siyu is a founding lieutenant general. It is worth mentioning that he has served under General Yang Dezhi for a long time. He has served as commander of the Fourth Column of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Field Army, commander of the 64th Army of the 19th Corps, and deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. The two have a close relationship. In 1967, he was transferred from the deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region to the commander of the Wuhan Military Region. He served in the Wuhan Military Region for nearly 7 years, so he also participated in this position transfer.
General Zeng Siyu was not greedy for power. He voluntarily retired from his leadership position at nearly 70 years old. Later, he fell in love with painting and fishing, and cultivated his character. He died of illness in Dalian in 2012 at the age of 102.
3. Nanjing Military Region Commander Xu Shiyou and Guangzhou Military Region Commander Ding Sheng
The legendary General Xu Shiyou does not need to introduce too much. He is the first commander of the Nanjing Military Region. Before being transferred to Nanjing Military Region, he had served as the deputy chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army and was deeply trusted by the central government. During his tenure as commander of the Nanjing Military Region, he also served as deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense and secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee.
After serving for 18 years, he was transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region where he commanded the combat operations in the Guangxi direction during the counterattack against Vietnam, and since then he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission. In 1985, General Xu Shiyou died in Nanjing at the age of 80.
Commander Ding Sheng joined the army at the age of 17 and served as the flag bearer in Central Red Army . He is called "Ding Dabang". Even Chairman Mao praised him when he saw it:
It turns out that this is the Jiangxi cousin who has a good flag resistance!
and he was also the first founding major general to serve as the commander of military region . In 1969, he was promoted to commander from the deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region. After serving for four years, he was transferred to commander of the Nanjing Military Region. In 1999, Commander Ding died of illness in Guangzhou at the age of 86.
4. Fuzhou Military Region Commander Han Xianchu and Lanzhou Military Region Commander Pi Dingjun
"Tornado General" Han Xianchu was invincible on the battlefield and had never lost. He fought from the Northeast to Hainan and served as deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. His reputation in the army is well known.
1957, Han Xianchu was transferred from the Central South Military Region to the Fuzhou Military Region, replacing Ye Fei, who had just served for one year, as commander. He has served for 16 years since then, and is also the key target of this change.
There is a saying related to the rank of Lieutenant General Pi Dingjun. I think everyone must have heard of it: "Pi has made merits, and he is young and has been promoted to the top." The 200,000 troops of the National Army were confronted with 7,000 troops to cover the breakout of the Central Plains Military Region, and it can also ensure that it does not suffer any major losses. This battle can be said to have shocked the entire army and passed down through the ages.
General Pi served as the commander of the Lanzhou Military Region for four years. After being transferred to the Fuzhou Military Region, he strictly carried out military training and made a lot of preparations for war.
It is a pity that in 1976, while commanding a military exercise, the helicopter he was riding in unfortunately crashed, and General Pi Dingjun and his entourage were all killed at the age of 62.
or above is the commander of the eight military regions who immediately left the troops they had served for many years after the orders of Chairman Mao and the Central Committee, and went to work in a new position. Their exchange further promoted the process of our army's construction, and had a far-reaching historical impact on our army, ensuring the party's absolute leadership over the army.
