Han Xianchu, the founding general, the commander of the whirlwind, and the victorious general. He was undefeated in his military career, captured Liao Yaoxiang in the northeast, liberated Hainan Island and drove out Xue Yue, Bai Chongxi and Yu Hanmou, fought all over the field to resist US aggression and aid Korea, shelled Kinmen, was the third commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress.
During the Agrarian Revolution and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, his performance was mediocre, but he became famous in the War of Liberation and showed outstanding military talent. After returning to China to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he shone in many positions, but his political career was relatively dull and he never entered the highest organ of power.
Han Xianchu has spent his whole life in the army, he is a veteran and has loved his career all his life. His military and political careers can be said to be coincidental, and he always failed to catch up with the best time.
But he chose a path of his own, always adhered to his beliefs, served as a soldier all his life, and loved his career all his life.
Han Xianchu, who was born in a poor family in the Dabie Mountains, was once a cattle herder, but his life was full of legends. After he joined the party in the guerrillas, although his knowledge level was low and his enlistment level was low, his courage and perseverance allowed him to serve on many important combat missions during the Long March.
In the Battle of Dushu Town, he led his warriors to successfully break through the enemy's defense line and win the battle. His command skills are recognized, and his famous quote "Comrades, follow me" has inspired many people.
His legendary experience is not only his disobedience to orders from his superiors and his repeated victories, but also his courage and faith, and he has always been steadfast in his chosen path.
Han Xianchu continued to show great military talent after the Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi,** and launched attacks in several directions in order to expand his base area. On the Shaanxi-Gansu border in 1935, Zhang Xueliang's 109th Division and a regiment of the 111th Division of the Northeast Army tried to seize territory, but Han Xianchu led his troops to successfully block the retreat of the remnants of the 109th Division and killed Niu Yuanfeng, the lieutenant general of the 109th Division of the Northeast Army, in the town of Zhiluo.
This battle not only successfully smashed the enemy's third "encirclement and suppression", but also prompted Zhang Xueliang to change his thinking from the "suppression of the communists" in the civil war to the joint resistance against Japan. After the war, Han Xianchu was appointed commander of the 15th Division of the 75th Army of the Red Army for his merits.
During this period, due to the seriousness and brutality of the struggle, there were often "left-leaning" moves within our army, which made Han Xianchu experience ups and downs in the positions of battalion commander and company commander, but fortunately, he was unscathed.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Han Xianchu proved himself to be a scholar who was delayed by the old society. In 1941, he came to Yan'an from the anti-Japanese front to study, studied at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, accumulated enough theoretical knowledge, and also shined in the later war.
Many people will say that it is better to study with social practice when they feel bored in reading, but this is actually overestimating themselves. When a person can calm down and learn in the face of the complexity and excitement of society, then he will not care whether he learns or practices first, no matter what he does, he is outstanding.
As a scholar and a combat maniac, Han Xianchu profoundly comprehended the essentials of "integrating theory with practice" and significantly improved his professional military knowledge. During his studies, Han Xianchu met his life confidant, Liu Zhi.
He is a winner on the battlefield and a winner in marriage. The two have been in love with each other and have gone through a long life hand in hand. Compared with those generals who have experienced many marriages, their happiness is undoubtedly indescribable.
Everyone who watches TV may know the "258th Regiment" regulation, which means that those who have reached the age of 25, have eight years of military experience, and hold positions in the regiment or above, can get married. However, this is only a partial interpretation of the policy of the time.
In fact, the "2857th Regiment" is the real policy requirement, that is, cadres at the age of 28, five years of party age, seven years of military age, and cadres at or above the regiment can apply for marriage. At the same time, local cadres who have reached the age of 28 and have been in the party for five years, and at the county or section level, or above, may also apply for marriage.
Prior to this, the army and local organizations did have similar regulations, such as the "258th Regiment", "285th Regiment", "358th Regiment", and so on. Han Xianchu had already reached these standards during the Kang Da period.
Xu Shuai personally matched him, so that he started a happy life. In August 1937, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army and went north to resist Japan, and Han Xianchu served as a regiment commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
On the battlefield of resistance against Japan, Han Xianchu experienced many vicious battles and battles, and always led the troops to appear when and where they were most needed. He successively participated in the establishment of the anti-Japanese base area in southern Hebei and the anti-Japanese base area in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border, and served as the commander of the new 3rd Brigade and the commander of the 3rd Army Division of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region.
These are all territories that have been snatched back from the hands of the devils, and they can hold these territories under the noses of the devils.
Han Xianchu led the first brigade of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to advance into the northeast, and the enemy was short-handed, liberating the whole northeast within three years, and at the same time obtained Pingjin and North China as trophies.
With his military wisdom and practical experience, Han Xianchu led his troops, killed the enemy all the way, and became famous for the whole army. He was called "Commander of the Whirlwind" by the Kuomintang army because his troops moved as fast as the wind, making it impossible for the enemy to ** their whereabouts.
Han Xianchu's troops won a complete victory in the Battle of Xinkailing, crushed the enemy's 25th division, captured the enemy's division commander Li Zhengyi, and greatly boosted the morale of our army. On the Northeast Battlefield, Han Xianchu and his troops wrote a glorious history with their courage and wisdom.
Although it does not have its name in the trump card of the Kuomintang, the 25th Division is definitely the top unit of the Kuomintang in the northeast. During the Anti-Japanese War, it played an important role in the Great Wall War of Resistance.
First, the division commander Guan Linzheng led the troops to repel the Japanese army, and then under the leadership of the acting division commander Du Yuming, he fought fiercely with the Japanese army, making more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers **, and seven warriors also emerged.
Later, in the Battle of Taierzhuang, under the command of Guan Linzheng (at this time, Guan Linzheng had been promoted to the commander of the 52nd Army, under the command of Zheng Dongguo's 2nd Division and Zhang Yaoming's 25th Division), participated in the siege of the Isoya Division, and together with other troops, he severely damaged his Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment.
Due to the outstanding performance of the 25th Division, it was praised by Jiang Jun as the Thousand Miles Horse Division. The following years were Han Xianchu's combat teaching performances. In the days in the Northeast, Han Xianchu first stayed in South Manchu to attract the enemy, and he became a sharp knife inserted into the enemy's internal organs, and this sharp knife also stabbed the enemy's throat.
Meng "quasi-enemy Liaoxi Corps advance command post, captured Liao Yaoxiang alive, so that the enemy lost the command center and quickly destroyed; After the battle of crossing the river, Han Xianchu led a large army to sweep through the south of the Yangtze River and directly hit the Leizhou Peninsula; The liberation of Hainan Island was imminent, and Han Xianchu strongly advocated taking advantage of the situation to recover it, and the chairman strongly supported Han Xianchu and recognized his views.
Han Xianchu led his troops to overcome all kinds of difficulties, attacked and captured more than 400 ships, and made full preparations for the liberation of Hainan Island. At 18:30 on April 16, 1950, Han Xianchu set off with the first echelon to land on the island, starting the battle to liberate Hainan Island.
In the face of the powerful People's Liberation Army, Xue Yue, the commander of the Wanjialing Campaign, was unable to control the 100,000 enemy forces on Hainan Island, including the troops of Bai Chongxi, Yu Hanmou, and Chen Jitang.
They refused to obey Xue Yue's command, and eventually caused 70,000 enemy troops to flee by boat, and only Xue Yue, Bai Chongxi, and Yu Hanmou and others were defeated and retreated to Taiwan. Xue Yue must have regretted it before he died, if he could die in battle on Hainan Island or become a prisoner, he would not have been prosecuted for not being able to pay the rent in Taiwan at the age of ninety.
In June 1950, when the Korean War broke out, the U.S. Seventh Fleet entered Taiwan and organized our army to recover Taiwan. If Han Xianchu's plan had not been followed at that time, but had chosen a safe plan, the people of Hainan Island might still be living in the "white zone" like Taiwan.
Han Xianchu fought bravely in the third battle, commanding 4 corps and 6 artillery regiments, as well as the 1st Army Corps of the Korean People's Army, successfully repelling the enemy forces and ordered the march to Seoul.
However, the battle failed to massively annihilate the enemy's living forces, mainly because of the rapid withdrawal of enemy troops. In the fourth battle, Han Xianchu was ordered to command the army and the 1st Corps of the People's Army to form a blocking corps, which successfully resisted the enemy's attack.
He summed up various defensive tactics and flexibly applied them according to the situation on the front. After the fifth battle, Han Xianchu returned to China due to health reasons, but he was still concerned about the front line during the ** period, and even tried to sneak back to the Korean battlefield.
Eventually, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the South-Central Military Region and was awarded the rank of General in 1955, thanks to the special care of the chairman.
Han Xianchu, an outstanding military commander and statesman, demonstrated outstanding military prowess during the bombardment of Kinmen and Matsu in September 1957. The artillery battle lasted for almost two months, until 1979, and continued in a "single-to-double" manner.
With his outstanding leadership and political wisdom, Han Xianchu succeeded in making it impossible for Taiwan to give up Kinmen and Matsu and smashed the sinister purpose of the United States to demand Taiwan.
In the political field, Han Xianchu was co-opted as an alternate member at the Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee in 1958. In 1961, he became a member of the East China Bureau of the Communist Party of China and began to serve as a local officer.
After that, his job title changed every year, from the first secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee to the director of the Fujian Military Management Commission, and then to the director of the Fujian Revolutionary Committee. In these positions, Han Xianchu won the respect and trust of the Fujian community with his firm stance and resolute actions.
There is a small story circulating in the market, which tells the story of Han Xianchu beating up the local hooligan ruffian. Although the authenticity of this story cannot be verified, the meaning contained in it is obvious: Han Xianchu is a good official who punishes adultery and eliminates evil, and is deeply loved by the common people.
Whether in the army or in the locality, he has demonstrated his outstanding leadership skills and noble personality with practical actions.
In 1966, the unrest in Fujian was triggered by Xiamen. Han Xianchu, the commander of the Fuzhou Military District, took action to take over important sites, successfully suppressing the first conflict.
However, Han Xianchu realized that he was not suitable to participate in the political struggle, so he asked Ye Shuai for sick leave in 1967. However, due to the dismissal of the secretary and the guards during the conversation, we can only guess at the exact content of the conversation.
Han Xianchu's integrity and fortitude made it difficult for him to adapt to the political struggle, so he took sick leave to no avail. However, he was still appointed head of the Fujian Provincial Revolutionary Committee in 1968, a position he held for five years.
In 1969, the Ninth National Congress was held, and Han Xianchu's status as an alternate member was officially confirmed. Although it took him ten years to be regularized, it was not unusual for him, especially given his request for an escape from illness in 1967.
As a person close to the chairman, he tried to stay away from politics, and his contradiction made his choice even more difficult. Eventually, he chose to return to the military and pursue what he was most passionate about.
Whether it was uncomfortable with politics or dissatisfied with the complicated world, he did not hesitate to join the army. In contrast to other founding generals who entered the Politburo in the early stages, he has always voluntarily distanced himself from the political core.
General Han Xianchu dedicated his life to the military cause, and he was a bright star of the squadron. His fate was full of twists and turns, but he was always able to get through it unscathed. He spent most of his life on the front lines, studying hard to win the war, and was seriously wounded several times, even despite his physical injuries.
His partner Du Ping recalled that he was a very anxious person and would lose his temper, but it was this impatience that made him refuse the opportunity to change jobs offered by Luo Shuai after the liberation of Hainan Island, and chose to continue to stay in the army and stick to his favorite military career.
Such a choice, although he missed the possible peak, but also avoided some disputes, perhaps for a veteran who grew up in the army and grew up in the army, this is the most suitable choice.
General Han Xianchu's military career was full of ups and downs and setbacks, but he always adhered to his beliefs and made outstanding contributions to the development of the squadron. He is a hero of the Chinese people and the pride of the squadron.
