In the 1930s, Japan launched a terrible war of aggression against China, which brought great harm to China, and the people of Chinese immediately began to resist with all their might. The troops of the Red Army were also all reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, respectively, and rushed to the forefront of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
At that time, all the Red Army units were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and all the officers in the unit were ready to be demoted, such as Chen Guang changing from the original division commander to the brigade commander, and Li Tianyou from the original division commander to the regimental commander.
Other military positions were also all demoted in the army, and many of the original grass-roots company commanders were even directly demoted to soldiers. But there were three people whose positions were not only not demoted, but also promoted.
This was a very rare situation in the environment at that time. Many people may feel that these three people are certainly not simple when they see this, and it is estimated that they have made a lot of contributions in the war.
These three people are indeed like this, and many of their stories in the war are very clear Chinese, they are:
Yang Chengwu, born in Fujian, served as the political commissar of the Red 4 regiment during the Long March, and his team was always at the forefront of the entire long march, thus opening the way for the Red Army. Many classic wars are his masterpieces, such as the bloody battle of Loushan Pass, climbing snowy mountains over meadows and many so on.
When the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, he also changed, and he served as the commander of the independent regiment, under the direct command and leadership of the division commander. During the battle at Loess Ridge, he killed norihide Abe, the commander of the Japanese army, eliminating more than 900 enemy men, capturing 5 cannons, and receiving a lot of ammunition and supplies.
Yang Dezhi, born in Hunan, served as the regimental commander of the 1st Regiment during the Long March, and was also a typical representative of brave combat, and was also a pioneer in the long march, and also participated in many well-known battles.
After the reorganization of the Red Army, he served as the commander of the 685th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and during the Battle of Pingxingguan, he was responsible for directing the whole regiment to stop the head and keep the Japanese dead in the encirclement. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he commanded the 19th Corps to carry out many large-scale attacks on the US army, and later took over as the commander of the volunteers.
Liang Xingchu, born in Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, should be the most impressive thing for everyone to see him when he resisted US aggression and aided Korea; in fact, when he was still in the Red Army, he was already a powerful general.
During the Long March, he served as the company commander of the reconnaissance company, responsible for walking at the front of the line, and for the other units of the Red Army to explore the way and detect the enemy's situation, he was able to complete the task perfectly every time.
When they were conducting reconnaissance of the enemy situation in Hadapu, Gansu, they brought back the newspapers of the local post office and gave them to the Red Army, knowing at that time that there was even a red base area in northern Shaanxi, this news was very important, and it was also from this time that they decided to go north to join Xu Haidong.
When the Red Army was reorganizing, Liang Xingchu was appointed battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 685th Regiment, a position half a rank higher than the company commander of the reconnaissance company.
What Liang Xingchu is really known to everyone is that in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, at that time he served as the commander of the 38th Army, and his reputation was also very large, he was called "Long Live the Army" by everyone, and he was also one of several Chinese military commanders who the US army felt very afraid.
