There are many reasons for people's lack and distortion of understanding of the general group, including gaps and deviations in academic research today and various reasons caused by history. Generally speaking, there are mainly the following aspects:
1, many senior officers of the China Army who died in the Anti-Japanese War were originally equivalent to the generals of the Kuomintang army, but they were not awarded the same rank.
1937 On August 22nd, the Military Commission of the National Government announced that the main force of the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with three divisions, each with 15000 people, two brigades and two regiments.
On June 1937, 10 and 12, the Kuomintang authorities announced that the Chinese Red Army guerrillas and the Red 28 Army in the border areas of Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Hubei, Henan and Anhui were reorganized into the New Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with four detachments under their jurisdiction. Due to the reduction of the military establishment, many senior officers of the * * * army have actually been demoted several levels.
Some people later died on the anti-Japanese battlefield, but history did not "clear their names" and restore their due status as generals.
2. In order to restrict and prevent * * *, the Kuomintang did not give equal treatment to the generals of the * * * production party.
During the Anti-Japanese War, in order to win people's hearts and strengthen their own strength, the National Government tried to weaken the * * * production party and enjoy the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. It honours Kuomintang generals and even some bandits who harm the people, but it is extremely harsh on senior generals of the * * * production party.
For example, 1943, Ma Bufang, a bandit from Gansu province, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 40th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and 18, in May of 65439, he was appointed as the acting military and political chief of the northwest. At the same time, he won the ranks of lieutenant general and general.
3. During the Anti-Japanese War, the China Army did not form a systematic system and management system in the rank system.
In the whole of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the military ranks of China did not form a systematic system and management system, which is an important reason why the troops led by China Army did not have a unified rank during their stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and even the ranks of officers were not increased and recognized after their sacrifice.
China's troops were treated equally from the early days of the Anti-Japanese War to the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. After the July 7th Incident, in order to cooperate with China and promote the formation of the national united front, and because the Kuomintang army had a rank at that time and had a relatively complete rank system, the China army raised the issue of rank at this time.
Since then, some China generals have been awarded the rank of Lieutenant General, such as He Long, then the first division commander, and Xiao Ke, then the deputy division commander. In fact, only a few people were awarded ranks in the Central Army during this period, and the rank system was not really widely implemented in the Central Army.
1On April 24th, 942, the CPC Central Committee made the decision that "the military ranks and ranks are not stipulated for the time being", which marked the end of the first entrusted work of the Central Army.
After the first trial run, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China conducted two pure temporary trial runs. On one occasion, in September of 1945, the CPC Central Committee conferred ranks on six dispatched personnel temporarily sent to the Soviet Union.
The other time was 1946, which was granted a temporary title in order to facilitate the representatives of military mediation offices sent by the China Army to work on an equal footing with the representatives of the Kuomintang. However, after the Kuomintang launched a full-scale civil war, this part of the general's rank was automatically cancelled.
4, * * * in the army has not been in accordance with international practice, additional War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression sacrifice in the rank of general.
During World War II, both the National Government, the Soviet Union and the United States rewarded the soldiers killed in the war and generally increased their ranks, even the Japanese army that harmed the country was no exception. But for the generals who died in the anti-Japanese troops led by Zhong * * *, so far, they have not been given ranks.
5. 1955 when the rank was first awarded, it was only awarded to the generals who survived the war.
Since then, the China People's Liberation Army has its own Marshal 10, General 10, General 57 and so on. The officers and men who died in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression were only regarded as martyrs, and there was no additional rank, which delayed the best opportunity for the generals who died during the Anti-Japanese War in China to add ranks, leaving a historical regret.
Extended data:
It is of great significance to identify and research the China generals who died during the Anti-Japanese War.
Undoubtedly, all anti-Japanese parties, all anti-Japanese classes and strata have made their own contributions to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Among them, the people's army led by Zhong * * * undertakes the fighting task of the battlefield behind the enemy lines in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the guerrilla warfare carried out by the people's army behind the enemy lines has a great strategic role. In the meantime, many China generals gave their precious lives.
Look from the position, they have a plenty of teachers, brigade commanders and heads, but their contribution to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory is enormous. A comprehensive orientation of this group is conducive to further understanding the role of China as a mainstay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the role of the People's Army led by China.
Internationally, the number of generals killed in a country's war is usually regarded as one of the important data to examine its contribution in the war.
Textual research and identification of China generals who died during the Anti-Japanese War can change the prejudice that China generals sacrificed fewer people in the Anti-Japanese War in the decades after the war, restore the true colors of history, and help people understand the position of China people War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the world anti-fascist war to a certain extent, that is, China people War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression made great national sacrifices for the victory of the world anti-fascist war.
