Peng was one of the few senior military leaders who supported Mao's suggestions to involve China directly in the 1950 – 1953 Korean War, and he served as the direct commander of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army for the first half of the war ( though Mao and Zhou Enlai were technically more senior ).
