第三十五军在人民解放军历史上是一支颇有意思的部队。这不仅在于它长期被认为是曾被国人痛骂为汉奸的吴化文的起义部队,而且在渡江战役中解放了国民党反动政府的老巢南京却一直未得到应有的宣传;更重要的是,三十五军是在解放战争后期进行全军统一编制和番号时被中央军委明确命名的第一个军。如此殊荣,却一直默默无闻,远没有体现出其在军史中的特别地位。那么,第三十五军的番号是怎么确立的呢? The 35th Army is an interesting force in the history of the People’s Liberation Army. This is not only because it has long been regarded as an insurgent force of Wu Hoo-wen who was once abused by his countrymen but also has not been able to get the proper publicity when he liberated the KMT’s hometown of reactionary Kuomintang troops during the cross-river campaign. More importantly, The 15th Army was the first army unequivocally named by the Central Military Commission when carrying out unified formation and designation of the whole army in the latter part of the Liberation War. Such honor, but has been obscure, far from reflecting its special position in the history of the military. Well, the thirty-fifth army’s emblem is how to establish it?
