Yang Yongsong (simplified Chinese: 杨永松; traditional Chinese: 楊永松; pinyin: Yáng Yǒngsōng; July 1919 – 1 September 2022) was a Chinese military officer, who was a founding major general in the People's Liberation Army. Born in Baihou in Dabu County, Guangdong, he joined the Communist Youth League of China and served in the Red Army from 1931. Yang fought in the fifth counter-encirclement campaign during the Chinese Civil War and was a participant in the Long March. He was present at the 1937 Battle of Pingxingguan and Battle of Xinkou during the Second Sino-Japanese War and was a representative at the 1945 7th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. After the war, he was promoted to major-general as one of the "founding generals" in 1955. He was the last surviving general appointed in that year.
