General Wei Guoqing's ancestral home Feng Shui
They also took a group photo with Xu as a souvenir, leaving a new photo. Who are they?
First, the founding general Song Renqiong, a native of Liuyang, Hunan Province, is a general of the Central Red Army. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Xu served as the deputy commander of 129 division, and Song Renqiong also served as the deputy director of the political department in 129 division. In this sense, Song Renqiong is an old subordinate of Xu.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Song Renqiong worked in local organs, served as the secretary of the Supreme Provincial Party Committee, and later went to Beijing as the deputy secretary-general of the Central Committee and the first deputy minister of the General Staff Department. From 65438 to 0978, Song Renqiong served as Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee and Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, so he visited Marshal Xu on behalf of the Central Committee and the Organization Department.
The second from the left is Xu from Wutai, Shanxi. Judging from the group photo, he is wearing cloth shoes, and his clothes are very simple, which makes him amiable and approachable. At that time, Xu was 80 years old and her hair was gray, but she looked hale and hearty.
The third from left is Geng Biao, a native of Liling, Hunan, and a general of the Central Red Army. Geng Biao and Xu have a deep relationship. After the defeat of the marked army, Xu went through all the hardships and broke through from the encirclement. The first Red Army generals he met were Geng Biao and others, who helped the marked army.
Finally, I met my revolutionary comrade. Xu, who survived, was sad and happy, and couldn't help crying. So he was impressed by Geng Biao. Geng Biao is a general with both military and political abilities. He is very successful, but unfortunately he has no rank, because he left the army to do diplomatic work.
1978 Geng Biao served as deputy prime minister of the State Council, and 1979 served as secretary general of the military commission, so he visited Marshal Xu on behalf of the State Council and the military commission. 198 1 In March, Geng Biao succeeded Xu as the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China.
The fourth from the left is the founding general Wei Guoqing, a native of Donglan, Guangxi, and a general of the Seventh Army. Later, the Seventh Army joined the Central Soviet Area, and Wei Guoqing became a member of the Central Red Army. He served as the battalion commander of the special branch battalion in the Central Cadre Corps.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wei Guoqing worked in Guangdong and Guangxi for a long time. He also served as the first secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and was a local leader. From 65438 to 0977, Wei Guoqing served as the director of the General Political Department, and his term of office lasted from 65438 to 0982. Therefore, he came to visit Marshal Xu on behalf of the General Political Department.
The fifth from the left, that is, the one on the far right, you may be familiar with it. He is the founding general Yong Yang, one of the famous Sanyang, a native of Liuyang, Hunan, and a general of the Central Red Army. In the revolutionary war years, we had an intersection with Xu Xian.
Xu was the commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Army and the general of the Red Third Army in Peng. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Xu was appointed as the deputy commander of 129 Division and the general of Lin Biao 1 15 Division. During the war of liberation, Xu was in North China and in the army. They are all commanders of the legion.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Yong Yang served as commander of major military regions for a long time, especially the Beijing Military Region. From 65438 to 0977, he served as deputy chief of staff, so he came to visit Xu on behalf of the General Staff. At that time, the chief of staff was Yang Dezhi, but he didn't come.
Song Renqiong, Geng Biao, Wei Guoqing and Yong Yang, three of the four generals are from Hunan and three are founding generals. In fact, with Geng Biao's revolutionary qualifications, it can also be awarded to the general. He is an uncrowned king.
During the Red Army period, they were all generals of the Central Red Army. Since then, they have not been under Xu's leadership, but they all respect Marshal Xu very much. Xu is good at commanding large groups, and he is definitely their teacher in military command.
On the other hand, Xu is one of the vice-chairmen of the Central Military Commission and the first of the four of them. Old coaches never take credit for their life, do not fight for power, are highly respected, humble and low-key, and will always be their role models.
The four generals came to visit Xu on behalf of the Central Committee, the State Council and the Military Commission. This is a very high courtesy and respect for Marshal Xu.
1983, Yong Yang died at the age of 70. He was the first to die in the photo, and he also had the shortest life. 1989, Wei Guoqing died at the age of 76. 1990, marshal Xu died at the age of 89. In 2000, Geng Biao died at 9 1.
In 2005, Song Renqiong died at the age of 96. He is the last and the oldest of the five people who took a group photo. Pay tribute to the five founding fathers of the older generation in the photo. This photo is worthy of our eternal treasure.
