The last in the series was Lin Biao!
More facts:
Lin commanded the 115th division of the Red Army during the second United Front and achieved national fame for his victory along the Great Wall. He scored yet another victory ambushing the Japanese convoy, killing and imprisoning almost all of the thousand over men. He forged a strong Communist force that was able to defeat the GMD in Manchuria, a major factor that led to Chiang's fall later on. He was always Mao's man and suceeded in making himself the successor to Mao after the Cultural Revolution. Too impatient to wait for natural succession to Mao's leadership, he planned an assassination of Mao which failed, leading to his flight out of the coutry with his family. He was mysteriously killed in a plane crash, and the incident is now known and the Lin Biao affair.
