No wonder Li Yunlong was given the title of major general, they felt aggrieved, depending on what rank their subordinates had
"Bright Sword" tells the story of the arduous eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Arduous Struggle of the Eighth Route Army against the enemy in northwestern Jin. Li Yunlong was the leader of the independent regiment, in fact, he was the leader of the new regiment before, because Kong Jie lost the battle with the independent regiment, which made the boss angry, so he removed Kong Jie from his post. At that time, Li Yunlong was also dismissed and was sewing clothes by a garment factory in the border area of the Eighth Route Army? Just as Ding Wei came to report and took over Li Yunlong's new regiment, Li Yunlong was transferred to Kong Jie's independent regiment as the regimental commander.
To say that this Li Yunlong, ah, is a very troublesome "thorn head", mud-legged born, always have some unexpected ideas, in the Red Army period many times disobeyed military orders, was punished by the above to raise a horse back over the pot, the Red Army was a regimental commander, to the War of Resistance was still a regimental commander. In fact, with Li Yunlong's qualifications and ability, it is no problem to serve as a brigade commander. Mainly because Li Yunlong always caused trouble and stabbed Lou Zi, which made his superiors very uneasy, he always let him be the leader of the regiment.
Although during the Liberation War, he was made a division commander, in fact, at the beginning, the superiors were ready to let him be a deputy division commander first, but Li Yunlong was unwilling, and there was no way to make him a division commander, which was enough to prove that the superiors were very uneasy about him. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in the northwestern region of Jin, the Eighth Route Army had a very famous combination, that is, the "Iron Triangle in Northwest Jin", which refers to Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. All three of them contributed a lot to the neutrality of the War of Resistance.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, those who had made meritorious achievements in the war were awarded titles, and Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie were only awarded the rank of major general. What makes many people wonder is that the iron triangle in the northwest of Jin has made outstanding military achievements, and Li Yunlong alone cannot count them, so why only give him a major general? When all three of them knew that they had been wronged, they expressed their dissatisfaction with this, and deliberately did not wear new military uniforms to protest.
Why is this the case? Look at their military position to know! The abilities of the three of them are very clear, especially Li Yunlong, who is a general of our army who is very good at fighting. Li Yunlong joined the revolution when he was in the Red Army, and became the commander of the regiment, the enemy he defeated, the hard battles he fought, and the number of vicious battles he fought could not be counted, and after the war, he was appointed acting commander of the C Army. Ding Wei's skills were even more powerful, he was already the commander of the column during the Liberation War, and he led a division to chase after one of Liao Yaoxiang's troops.
Speaking of Kong Jie, he was the one with the least words among the three, and he was also the most calm, otherwise the above would not have sent him to fight with the US army, and he was also a military commander. From this point of view, before the award of the title, the three of them were already at the rank of regular military. The rank of regular army can be awarded to major general or lieutenant general, depending on personal qualifications and military achievements. Li Yunlong served as the commander of the main force and the commander of the main division, Ding Wei was also the commander of the column of Dongye, and Kong Jie led the 38th Army to fight with the US army, and the qualifications and battle achievements were up to the standard, and it was reasonable to be awarded a lieutenant general, after all, the division commanders under them had already been awarded major generals. Who has a subordinate who confers the same rank as his superior? After analysis, the Iron Triangle of the Northwest Jin Dynasty was awarded the Major General, which is indeed a bit low, no wonder they all feel aggrieved!
