Ask Han Liancheng: General or Lieutenant General?
I'm in the middle of headlines
**Personally ask Han Liancheng: Admiral or Lieutenant General? Han Liancheng, the "** general" who had lurked beside Chiang Kai-shek, had an incomparable and unique contribution to the final victory of the Communist Party.
He chose the lieutenant general with firm convictions, because in his heart the communist ideology had long been deeply rooted. So, what kind of legendary story does this "super **" Han Liancheng have in his life?
What kind of contribution did he make to our party? Let's learn about the glorious history of this early Communist Party member.
Han Liancheng was born in poverty, but he has a strong determination to study. Although he grew up in a family full of hardship and hunger, he still wanted to make a difference.
His parents were well aware of the importance of education, and in order to nurture this only hope, they did their best to ** him to study. Despite the difficult conditions at home, Han Liancheng only studied in a private school for a few years, then dropped out of school due to financial pressure, went to the landlord's house to do hard labor, and endured endless toil and humiliation every day.
However, these experiences did not make him lose confidence, but made his will stronger, and his heart burned with a thirst for knowledge and anticipation for the future.
Han Liancheng couldn't stand the oppression of the landlord, so he left his hometown after smashing the landlord's home. In the days that followed, he worked as an apprentice in a small grocery store, but life under the fence was not satisfactory.
Young and vigorous, he didn't want to be suppressed forever, so the idea of joining the army came to his heart. Fortunately, Feng Yuxiang was serving as a supervisor in the Northwest Frontier at that time, and the Seventh Division of the Northwest Army led by his subordinate Ma Hongkui was recruiting instructors in Ningxia.
Han Liancheng's mother was very supportive of his idea of joining the army, so she borrowed his diploma from Han Guizhang, who was of the same clan, from his "Gansu Provincial No. 2 Middle School" and asked her son to apply for the exam.
In this way, Han Liancheng was successfully admitted to Feng Yuxiang's team and began his legendary military career. It just so happened that not long after Han Liancheng joined the army, the first KMT-CCP cooperation began.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party held their respective national congresses, which established the principle that Communist Party members should join the Kuomintang in their individual capacity. Feng Yuxiang actively responded to Sun Yat-sen's new Three People's Doctrine policy and actively invited Communist Party members to work in his troops.
Our party has sent nearly 200 outstanding party members, including Comrade Liu Zhidan, to take up posts in the northwest region. Liu Zhidan served as the political chief in Feng Yuxiang's army and worked closely with Han Liancheng's Fourth Route Army.
During this period, Liu Zhidan not only organized training camps and lectures to vigorously propagate Marxism, but also held dialogues with Kuomintang soldiers in his free time and introduced the Communist Party to them.
And Han Liancheng has long been deeply attracted to communism.
Liu Zhidan had a deep conversation with Han Liancheng, which made Liu Zhidan deeply feel the passion and sincerity in Han Liancheng's heart. Han Liancheng said that he joined the army to change his family's situation and let his parents live a better life.
Liu Zhidan deeply resonated with this and introduced to Han Liancheng the concept and purpose of communism, that is, to let the poor be the masters of the house and let the toiling masses live with dignity. However, just as Han Liancheng was about to devote himself to the communist cause, he encountered an accident and became a Kuomintang general.
Despite the change in identity, Han Liancheng's inner pursuit of communism has not changed.
In 1927, the National *** Army was launched"Purging the party"action, Feng Yuxiang, as a loyal general of Chiang Kai-shek, immediately expelled the Communists in the Northwest Army, including Han Liancheng and Liu Zhidan.
Han Liancheng's desire to join the party was interrupted, and he was even detained as a "red hat" because of his proximity to the Communist Party, and was only freed under the protection of Feng Yuxiang. However, Han Liancheng was not depressed, but showed heroism in many battles and was promoted to regiment commander.
Dissatisfied with the weakening of his power, Feng Yuxiang turned against Chiang Kai-shek, proclaimed himself commander-in-chief, and united with Wang Jingwei, Yan Xishan and others to launch the Central Plains War. However, Feng Yuxiang's subordinate Ma Hongkui rebelled against Feng Yuxiang and defected to Chiang Kai-shek.
At this time, Han Liancheng was serving under Ma Hongkui, so he decided to "throw himself into Jiang and overthrow Feng". Once, Chiang Kai-shek was personally directing the operation in the "Commander-in-Chief Train Camp" at Shangqiu Railway Station, but was surrounded by a night attack by Feng Yuxiang's troops.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had no heavy troops around him to protect him, and only an escort of less than 100 people could temporarily resist for a while.
Chiang Kai-shek's secretary knew that he could not confront Feng, so he contacted the nearest Han Liancheng to ask for support. However, before the secretary could speak, the communication equipment was destroyed by the enemy.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's heart was like ashes, and he seemed hopeless. But at this time, Han Liancheng arrived in time, repelled the enemy army, and successfully rescued Chiang Kai-shek. It turned out that after Han Liancheng received the **, he speculated about what might happen, so he quickly rushed to the rescue.
Hearing all this, Chiang Kai-shek was deeply moved and immediately asked Han Liancheng which cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy he was.
He was convinced that a person who had both courage and resourcefulness and was extremely loyal to the leader would be a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy. However, Han Liancheng replied: "I am not a student of the Whampoa Military Academy, and I am currently only a petty officer under Ma Hongkui. ”
However, Chiang Kai-shek praised Han Liancheng's bravery and decisiveness, so he immediately ordered Han Liancheng to become a student with official enrollment in the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. The Whampoa students were the most valued lineage of Chiang Kai-shek at that time, and they had a bright future.
Because of this incident, Han Liancheng was honored as a legendary figure who "appreciates wearing a yellow coat", and he has also become the birthplace of super **.
Although within the Kuomintang, Han Liancheng's career was like a fish in water, and he was promoted to lieutenant general in a short period of time, he also clearly saw the darkness and corruption within the Kuomintang.
With the war of resistance against Japan imminent, Han Liancheng found that Chiang Kai-shek did not have the well-being of the people at heart, but was keen to plan a civil war and eliminate the Communists. At this time, he remembered what Comrade Liu Zhidan once said to him: Communism can realize that the people are the masters of the country.
Therefore, he made the decision to join the Communist Party.
He once expressed his yearning for the Communist Party through his close friend Zhou Shiguan, and then through Zhou's son-in-law, he successfully met with Prime Minister ***. As early as 1937, at the highest national defense conference of the people, Han Liancheng had a relationship with ***, and he affectionately called *** "Teacher Zhou".
Therefore, during this meeting, Han Liancheng directly expressed his willingness to join the party, although he introduced his background and views on the current domestic situation in detail.
Said to him cautiously: "I'm glad you have such thoughts, but we must note that the KMT and the CCP are now in a very sensitive period.
If you join us now, it may cause unnecessary speculation and criticism. Han had anticipated before he came that he might be rejected because of his position in the ranks of the Kuomintang.
However, when he heard ***'s words, he still felt very lost. Just when he thought that his party membership and ideals were about to be shattered, ** suddenly asked him if he knew someone named Han Guizhang when he joined the army in the northwest.
Han Liancheng said excitedly: "I am Han Gyuzhang." It turned out that after Comrade Liu Zhidan left the Kuomintang, he reported his experience with Han Liancheng to *** Under the recommendation of Liu Zhidan, Han Liancheng successfully joined the Communist Party of China and became a secret general with a single line of contact.
By the time of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Liancheng had become one of Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted generals. As he rose through the ranks, his tasks became more daunting.
In September 1945, Chiang Kai-shek sent Han Liancheng to garrison Hainan Island, ostensibly to accept the surrender of the Japanese army, but in fact to destroy the Communist Qiongya guerrillas on Hainan Island.
After Han Liancheng learned of this conspiracy, he immediately managed to get in touch with ***. Before crossing the sea, he received a secret letter from ***, asking him to protect himself while minimizing the ** of the guerrillas.
After getting the task, Han Liancheng first carried out tactical delays, got in touch with the guerrillas, and took the risk to solve the puppet army troops led by Zhan Songnian, and successfully completed the task assigned to him by our party.
Han Liancheng was a great revolutionary general, and his bravery and wisdom enabled the preservation of our party's Qiongya guerrillas on Hainan Island.
Han Liancheng used his position to save our army from danger many times and made great contributions to the final victory of the Communist Party. Although he acted extremely cautiously, it still aroused the alarm of members of the Kuomintang.
In the famous Battle of Laiwu, he skillfully designed to help our army annihilate more than 50,000 Kuomintang troops, and even the enemy commander Wang Yaowu had to praise: "More than 50,000 people, it only took three days to be wiped out, even if 50,000 pigs are put there, they can't be caught in three days." ”
Although Han Liancheng's previous performance was outstanding, it did not arouse Chiang Kai-shek's suspicion. Soon after, however, Du Yuming accidentally captured a rebel cadre from Huaye. When talking about the Battle of Laiwu, the cadre pointed out several suspicious things about Han Liancheng.
Du Yuming and Han Liancheng have always been at odds, but this time he finally grabbed Han Liancheng's handle and decided to directly hand over his ** evidence to Chiang Kai-shek. After getting the news, Han Liancheng pretended to be a photographer named "Xu Bing" from Kunlun Film Company, and successfully escaped to Hong Kong under the cover of Zhou Shiguan.
A month later, Han Liancheng was sent to the Northeast Liberated Area, and after some tosses, he came to the Xibaipo Liberated Area in Hebei Province, and was cordially received by *** and others.
After leaving the Kuomintang, Han Liancheng once again showed outstanding talent and achievements. In 1949, he served as deputy chief of staff of the First Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, a member of the Northwest Military and Political Commission, and officially became a member of the Communist Party of China in May of the following year, realizing his long-held dream.
In 1955, the first investiture ceremony after the founding of the People's Republic of China was held in Zhongnanhai. Before the ceremony began, ** deliberately found Han Liancheng and asked him: "Do you want to get the rank of general or lieutenant general?" ”
Han Liancheng said that he does not care about fame and fortune, hopes to achieve peaceful nationhood, and believes that his success and retirement is the best choice. He stressed that he had always fought for the Communist Party, and that the victory of the Communist Party of China was his ideal and the dream of the toiling masses.
It is precisely because of the countless heroes who have devoted all their efforts to the cause of communism that we have a beautiful life now.
