**What do you think of Xu Shiyou and Han Xianchu?
In the past 70s, Han Xianchu was once evaluated as "two giants in the army, one is Xu Shiyou, and the other is Han Xianchu" because of his strong support.
In December 1973, an order was issued to change the commanders of the eight military regions. Han Xianchu, the general who previously served as the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, was later transferred to the Lanzhou Military Region as the commander.
During his tenure in Fujian, Han Xianchu had to deal with the severe challenge of a real typhoon brought about by natural disasters in addition to dealing with the "typhoon-style" small group of attacks from Taiwan.
The coastal areas of Fujian are hit by typhoons every summer and autumn, and Han Xianchu has long been prepared for this, and asked the troops to establish and improve emergency rescue plans and take precautions.
However, after Han Xianchu left the Fuzhou Military Region and went to the Lanzhou Military Region in the northwest, he still encountered it"Wind"infestation. On the second day of his stay in the Lanzhou Military Region, after listening to a report on the fortification situation in the theater, he was about to go to check it out in person, but he encountered a black wind.
When the black wind suddenly blows, the dry land in the northwest region is instantly swept by sand and stones, and its power cannot be underestimated. People and vehicles are unable to move forward, so they can only seek shelter from the lee.
Han Xianchu even joked whether this was God's test for his new commander. However, he had overcome typhoons at sea, and the black winds on land were no problem.
Whether it is the visible black wind or the invisible black wind, he is fearless. During that special period, Han Xianchu withstood the huge pressure and successfully protected ***
In the summer of 1976, the party committee of the Lanzhou Military Region held a discussion on whether *** needed to be criticized by the troops. However, the outcome of the discussion was not satisfactory and opinions were divided.
In the end, Han Xianchu, the commander of the Lanzhou Military District, was expected to be able to make a decision. Han Xianchu said directly: "* has been removed from all positions, but his party membership has been retained.
So, will there still be counter-revolutionary revisionist Communists?”
He resolutely opposed the movement, whether it was in the Lanzhou Military Region or at the ** meeting in Beijing, Han Xianchu stuck to his position. All localities are required to criticize ***, but the Lanzhou Military Region, where Han Xianchu is located, will never participate.
* Very dissatisfied with this, and even called Han Xianchu and Xu Shiyou the "two hegemons" of the army. In the face of pressure, Han Xianchu did not flinch, he firmly believed that *** was an excellent Communist Party member and would not be defeated by intrigues.
Han Xianchu dared to tell the truth and do the right thing when the political situation was cloudy, thanks to his bold and fearless character and upright and noble personality.
Han Xianchu, born in Huang'an County, Hubei Province, lived in poverty when he was young, and witnessed the cruel oppression of the people by landlords and "parents and officials". This planted the seeds of rebellion in his heart, and after the Jute Uprising, he actively joined the peasant associations and devoted himself to the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle.
He is brave and resourceful, and Xu Shiyou admires the Chinese general the most.
In October 1930, at the age of 17, Han Xianchu joined the Chinese Communist Party and joined the Red Army two years later. Initially, he worked in the transport detachment of the Red XXV, a detachment responsible for transporting and ensuring the supply of ammunition to the front, which they were not equipped with **.
However, during a transfer, Han Xianchu's transportation team was separated from the large army, and unfortunately encountered the local Kuomintang militia regiment. Although there were only a dozen members of the militia regiment, it was a huge challenge for those who had not participated in the fighting, because they only carried supplies, while the people of the militia regiment were armed with **.
At the critical moment of life and death, Han Xianchu calmly issued an order: "Don't be afraid, everyone must stay calm." ”
Han Xianchu took the initiative to ask Ying, pretended to be a commander, and according to his own tactical plan, ordered some of the team members to make a detour from the back of the militia regiment, and he took some of the team members to surround them in front.
The militia regiment was small in number, had no training from regular troops, and was very panicked when it encountered the Red Army. They didn't distinguish the traffic team, thinking that everyone had guns, and Han Xianchu surrounded them again, which made them even more confused.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Han Xianchu shouted: "Rush!."Catch it alive!"The militia group was frightened, and they all put down their guns and raised their hands to surrender. Because of his outstanding performance, Han Xianchu was transferred by army commander Wu Huanxian to the 5th Company of the 225th Battalion of the 225th Regiment of the Red 75th Division as a platoon commander.
Han Xianchu, who had a gun, coupled with his guts, quickly came to prominence. The battle of Dushu Town made him famous in one fell swoop. In mid-November 1934, the Red 25th Army broke through the enemy's obstruction in Zhutangdian, crossed the Pinghan Railway that night, and entered the area of Tongbai and Zaoyang.
However, this geographical position was very unfavorable, the range of maneuver was small, and the enemy forces were constantly approaching, so we decided to move to the Funiu Mountains in western Henan. However, to get to Funiu Mountain, you need to pass through hills and plains.
In the cold late November, the commanders and fighters of our army faced a severe challenge to survive. They lack warm clothing and are running out of food. However, it was in such a predicament that the Red 25th Army still faced the enemy's resistance.
They were in the plight of the enemy, the weather was harsh, and many of the warriors' hands were frozen, their clothes were soaked with rain and snow, and some of the warriors' hands were frozen with their guns.
However, at this critical moment, the enemy suddenly attacked. The Red 25th Army was blocked by the enemy in Dushu Town and had to face a fierce battle. Han Xianchu showed great bravery and determination, leading his troops to repel the enemy's attacks many times, and one position after another was saved in his desperate struggle.
Han Xianchu had few bullets left, but instead of retreating, he turned around and drew a big knife from behind the communicator, shouting loudly: "Communists, follow me!.""He led the brave soldiers, fearlessly brandished machetes, and rushed at the enemy in a white-knuckle battle.
After a bitter battle, the Red 25th Army successfully repelled the enemy's attack. After the war, Wu Huan praised first: "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!."In February 1936, Han Xianchu became the commander of the 78th Division of the Red 15th Army.
Since then, his responsibilities have increased. In one operation, he even openly disobeyed the orders of ***.
In May 1936, ** jointly released the campaign plan for the Western Expedition. General Han Xianchu was the commander of the 78th Division of the 15th Army Corps at that time, and when the troops marched to Dingbian Chengguan, they found that the enemy in the city was a cavalry battalion of Ma Hongkui.
Having detected the actions of our troops, the enemy neither fled nor took the initiative to attack. Previously, the troops of the 15th Army Corps had exchanged fire with the enemy in Dingbian, but failed to take it.
Han Xianchu did not act rashly, but rode around the city on horseback, and then sent a telegram to the headquarters and corps, asking for approval for the siege and requesting a reply as soon as possible. On the evening of June 16, the troops entered positions and prepared to attack the city, but the head of the corps suddenly called back and conveyed the instructions of the commander-in-chief, asking the 78th Division to continue to advance and make a detour.
When deciding whether to launch an attack, General Han Xianchu convened a meeting of division and regiment cadres to discuss it. General Han Xianchu advocated that an attack should be launched and believed that victory was possible.
He analyzed the current state of the troops, believing that they were already stationed under the city, were well prepared for battle, had high morale, and could quickly resolve the battle without affecting the continuation of the westward advance.
However, at the meeting, the division's commissioner reminded Han Xianchu three times, instructing him not to take care of the fixed side and continue to move forward. ** Extremely high prestige in the Red Army, which made General Han Xianchu even more determined to launch this battle.
Han Xianchu said that although the city wall is very strong, the height is not high, as long as we prepare the ladder, we can climb it to destroy the enemy. If *** sees such a war situation, he will definitely advocate that we fight.
After thorough preparations, the siege plan was finally implemented in the early morning of June 17. Under the command of General Han Xianchu, after the battle in the east of the city began, the main attacking troops launched a fierce attack from the south, west and north, and successfully broke through.
Subsequently, General Han Xianchu entered the city and commanded the troops to fight. The whole division worked closely together to annihilate the enemy's cavalry battalion and the ** reactionary forces in the puppet county by dividing the encirclement and fighting for each alley, and successfully liberated Dingbian City.
This battle was highly praised by the general manager of the corps. In the battle of Mazhuang in 1938, the commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army found through a telescope that the rhythm of our army's offensive was disrupted by the enemy, and it was difficult to advance for a while.
A short officer, armed with a pistol, led the soldiers forward bravely, which greatly encouraged our soldiers. In an instant, the fighters who had retreated before our army regained their strength and again and again charged at the enemy's positions, surging like a tidal wave, and finally succeeded in capturing the enemy's fortress.
The division commander clapped his hands excitedly and asked, "Who is that short officer?"”
When he learned that General Han Xianchu was in command at the front line, he praised him again and again for his courage and tactics. In the Liaoshen Campaign, Han Xianchu, as the commander of the column, repeatedly set up the headquarters in the enemy's forward positions, even less than two miles away from the enemy's nose.
Once, the enemy's rout ran near his headquarters, and he called the guards to catch it. This command of Han Xianchu successfully destroyed the front command of the enemy's westward advance corps and the military headquarters of the new 6th Army.
During the interrogation of prisoners after the war, Liao Qihai, commander of the enemy's westward advance corps, learned that Han Xianchu was commanding the battle in Hu's shack, and said with a sigh: "If I had known that General Han was on the front line, I should have fired a few more shots."
In the battle to liberate Hainan Island, General Han Xianchu personally jumped off the command ship, waded waist-deep water with the soldiers, rushed to the beachhead, and commanded the troops to charge.
When the commander of the advance regiment saw that the commander was leading the charge, he was shocked and immediately ordered a company to protect the safety of the commander. However, the soldiers, seeing that the commander was by their side, rushed forward one by one, and finally succeeded in occupying the beachhead and quickly advanced to the enemy's deep position.
General Han Xianchu would make a review at the party group meeting after each battle, and one of the contents of the review was unchanged: the command was too far ahead. He was "bold" not only on the battlefield, but also politically.
He is not afraid of the play of power, sticks to his beliefs, and regards protecting *** as his mission. Han Xianchu's integrity and courage run throughout, whether on or off the stage, before or after, he always insists on telling the truth, telling the truth, not falling into the trap, not following the crowd, only pursuing the truth, and not succumbing to crooked reasoning, this spirit is admirable and worthy of deep thought.
Han Xianchu went on a business trip to Beijing, and his old superior** was also there, but he was recently ostracized and deserted. Han Xianchu wanted to visit, but was turned away. He knew that ** didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he didn't see him, not because he didn't miss the old love.
So, Han Xianchu decided to put on a posture of not seeing or leaving. The guards felt very strange, since the old chief had an incident, his former good friends had stopped coming, but Han Xianchu had to see him.
Han Xianchu replied that no matter what, it was what he should do to visit the old chief. He also told the guards that if it was inconvenient for the old chief to see people or talk, he would just glance at the old chief and would not make small talk.
Sure enough, after seeing **, the general gave a standard military salute, then turned around and strode away.
Han Xianchu practiced calligraphy in his later years, showing his noble integrity and perseverance. He had a keen interest in calligraphy at a young age, but his revolutionary career left him with no time to take care of it.
However, he was still full of confidence in his sixtieth year, and began to practice Xi in his spare time. He pays attention to basic training, using a neutral Shanlianhu pen, ink made of high-quality carbon black and animal glue, ordinary rectangular stone inkstone, as well as rough-edged paper and nine-square grid.
He writes slowly and steadily, strictly follows the law, and often says: "Do things step by step, and the same is true for practicing calligraphy." ”
He focused on writing, his eyes were focused, his palms were one, and there were no distractions in his heart. Once, when his secretary entered his bedroom and study to retrieve his belongings, he was unaware of it, showing that he was completely immersed in his writing, and that no outside sound could disturb him.
Even though he was seriously ill, he still insisted on practicing Xi writing for more than 100 minutes every day. This tenacity and perseverance also reflect his personality.
No matter where he goes, he will bring the four treasures of the study, whether he goes out to inspect or is hospitalized due to illness, he must continue to practice Xi calligraphy.
He was obsessed with the willow body and copied it repeatedly, striving to master its strokes and structure. In the end, his willow characters are strong through the back of the paper, strong and powerful, delicate and elegant, and full of fun.
Despite his physical weakness, he continued to practice Xi every day, which he believed was not only a love for the art of calligraphy, but also a way of health preservation. "I've become addicted to writing calligraphy, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't write for a day," he says.
Therefore, he practiced day and night, Xi as the best way to recuperate and exercise. Han Xianchu's experience of practicing calligraphy is very instructive.
Han Xianchu was brave and fearless on the battlefield and was known as one of the two hegemons of the army, and was praised for his courage and flexible way of thinking. He dares to challenge authority and insists on his best judgment even when orders from his superiors are counterintuitive.
In peacetime, he always insisted on justice, and no matter what difficulties he faced, he would lend a helping hand to those who truly contributed to the party and the people. Even when the political situation was turbulent and he needed to see the situation clearly and follow the general trend, he was able to stick to his faith and get out of the mud without being stained.
