58 people reported Peng: A brief discussion on the general evaluation standard of the forum of the Military Commission in June 1955+0.

At the end of February, 1954+65438, the central government decided to start the army title evaluation again. 1955 65438+ 10/2 the general cadre department issued a work plan for evaluating ranks, in which it was proposed that "the rank of lieutenant general or above shall be determined in advance by the Central Military Commission between 1955 65438+ 10 and February, so that the whole army can queue up according to this standard. According to the plan, on June 4th, 65438+1October 6th+1October 5th+June 4th, 65438+Peng held a forum to discuss the rank and served as the Minister of National Defense. CMC members He Long, Xu, Nie and Luo Ronghuan attended the meeting, while Chen Yi and Ye Jianying were absent for some reason. After two days of serious discussion, the meeting decided on the list of the above-mentioned generals. Regarding the candidates for generals, the forum of the Central Military Commission adopted a preliminary list of 58 people. 1955 65438+ 10/6, Peng and Luo Ronghuan jointly reported the list of general and above personnel evaluated by the Central Military Commission forum to Chairman Mao. Through the list of 58 candidates for the preliminary evaluation of generals reported by Peng, the criteria for the evaluation of generals by the Central Military Commission are explained in detail.

195565438+1October 16, Peng and Luo Ronghuan reported 58 candidates for the initial evaluation of generals, among which the top seven were seven new candidates in the second scheme of the initial evaluation of generals jointly reported by Peng and Luo Ronghuan, namely: Xu, Liu Yalou, Deng Hua, Chen Zaidao, Yang Dezhi, Peng He. Ranked 8th and 9th are Li Kenong and Chen Bojun. From 10 to 58 people, the ranking is: corps level, deputy corps level, quasi-corps level and local administration level 6 cadres. The 58 candidates to be investigated reported by Peng are as follows:

Judging from the ranking of 58 candidates reported to Chairman Mao for preliminary evaluation on June 6th 1955+65438+, the first seven candidates are seven new candidates to be preliminarily evaluated in the second batch of general candidate plan temporarily added after discussion by the Central Military Commission: Xu, Liu Yalou, Deng Hua, Chen Zaidao, Yang Dezhi, Peng,. Of these seven people, five are deputy commanders or volunteers who preside over the major military regions. They were all outstanding military cadres in the army at that time and the famous backbone of our army. Among these seven people, there are two officers in charge of the navy and air force, Liu Yalou and Wang Hongkun. In the initial evaluation, the forum of the Central Military Commission listed seven people as the top seven candidates, which was decided entirely on the basis of their service experience in the army and their contribution to the revolutionary cause. At the symposium of the Central Military Commission, seven of the 22 candidates in the second general plan were temporarily selected as general candidates, and they were also nominated entirely on the basis of meritorious military service. If the Central Committee decides that the list of generals is 22, these seven people are fully capable and capable of holding the title of general rank.

Xu and other seven people were followed by Li Kenong and Chen Bojun as candidates for generals, followed by 26 officers at the corps level. Chen Bojun's rank is only deputy corps level, and at that time, he was only the vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences, while Li Kenong never personally led troops to make contributions to the battlefield. Why do they rank eighth and ninth among the 58 generals reported by Peng, surpassing the 26 military generals who have made great achievements?

This is because at that time, before the symposium of the Military Commission was held, Li Kenong and Chen Bojun were reported by the General Staff Cadre Department as candidates to be assessed according to our military intelligence system and representatives of colleges and universities. 1955 65438+ 10 14 before the symposium of the military commission, the then general cadre department drafted two plans for discussion at the symposium of the military commission. On the basis of the eight generals evaluated by the original 1954, the first general plan put forward by the General Staff Department is to increase seven generals, of which 15 is a preliminary general. The second scheme adds 9 people on the basis of the first scheme, and the total number of candidates is 24. In the second batch of general plans to be evaluated reported by the General Cadre Department, Li Kenong and Chen Bojun are both on the list. Later, the symposium of the Military Commission decided that the second plan for generals was 22, and the plan of Li Kenong and Chen Bojun as generals was rejected and changed to generals. Therefore, after the symposium of the Military Commission, 58 generals reported by Peng were selected, and Li Kenong and Chen Bojun ranked eighth and ninth respectively in the list of reports, ranking behind the seven aspiring generals temporarily added in the plan of reporting generals for the second time and before the 26 officers of the Corps.

Among the 58 generals reported by Luo Peng, 26 officers at the rank of 10 to 35 respectively. Following the 26 corps-level personnel, 20 deputy corps-level personnel reported to the 36th to 55th places in the list of generals. The only quasi-corps-level general, He, the representative of the Red Second Corps, ranked third from the bottom, ranking 55th among 58 reported generals. The last two generals who were reported were two local cadres, one was Yan Hongyan, the representative of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, and the other was Ceng Xisheng, the representative of our intelligence investigation system.

Judging from the list of 58 reserve generals reported by Peng, according to statistics, among the other 55 people, except for three representative quasi-corps-level generals and local cadres, there are 32 people at the corps level (among them, Li Jingquan performs local administrative level) and 23 people at the corps level. At that time, there were 38 corps-level personnel in the whole army. Except Wang Shusheng, Zhang Zongxun, Song Renqiong, Xu Guangda, Xiao Ke and Wang Zhen were selected as the first batch of candidates to be evaluated, the remaining 32 corps-level cadres were all reported as generals. In other words, anyone with corps level in the army was rated as a general, and the other six were reported as generals to be evaluated.

1955 after the rank evaluation began in June, there were 43 deputy cadres in the whole army. Except for one person who was reported as the candidate for the first batch of generals to be evaluated, 23 deputy corps-level cadres were selected from the list of 58 generals to be evaluated, and 20 deputy corps-level cadres were not selected because they did not meet the evaluation criteria adopted by the symposium of the Central Military Commission. Let's analyze the selection criteria of deputy regimental cadres as generals from the following aspects: position, qualifications and representativeness at the time of declaration:

Through the introduction of 23 deputy generals, we can sum up several criteria for the Military Commission to evaluate the deputy generals:

(1), currently the deputy corps level of the headquarters of the Military Commission, and the deputy commanders and political commissars of major military regions can generally be rated as generals.

(2) Deputies of various services and arms, as well as deputy heads of regular corps, who held posts above the division level during the Red Army period, above the column level during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, and above the corps level during the War of Liberation, are generally rated as generals.

In addition to 55 cadres at the corps level and deputy corps level, three other cadres at the corps level and administrative level 6 with special representation were also reported as general candidates after comprehensive balance at the forum of the Central Military Commission. Among them, how to transfer the army to the cadre status represents the Red Second Army Corps, the Eighth Route Army 120 Division and the First Field Hospital system. Although his rank is only quasi-legion, his unique triple identity has made him selected for the list of preliminary generals. As for Yan Hongyan and Ceng Xisheng who can be selected as generals by local cadres, as mentioned earlier, their origins in the Red Army in northern Shaanxi and their intelligence investigation system are unmatched by others. Therefore, after weighing by the forum of the Central Military Commission, they were also included in the list of 58 generals.
