During the War of Liberation, our army had two outstanding generals, both of whom were the commanders of the 3rd Column of their respective field armies, they were Han Xianchu, the commander of the 3rd Column of the Northeast Field Army, and the commander of the 3rd Column of the Middle Field Army
In the impression of many military fans, Han Xianchu is nicknamed "Commander Whirlwind", who has defeated Liao Yaoxiang and Du Yuming, and in comparison, ** is much more low-key, however, ** has four absolute advantages, which is more than Han Xianchu, and has been affirmed by the head of the field army.
Han Xianchu and *** are quite related, both of them are from China's first general county: Hong'an County, Hubei, where the most generals were born, and many famous generals are Hong'an people.
Han Xianchu is two years older than ***, and he participated in the revolution earlier. Han Xianchu has no culture, starting from the grassroots soldiers, all the way by virtue of his military exploits, from squad leader, platoon commander, deputy company commander, company commander to the main regiment commander during the Anti-Japanese War.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Xianchu, as a part of the elite, went north to the northeast and developed a base behind enemy lines in the South Manchurian region.
In the War of Liberation, Han Xianchu's troops were the best at sports warfare, they fought bloody battles on Siping Street, attacked Weiyuan Fort, defeated Liao Yaoxiang's corps in the north to reinforce Shenyang in western Liaoning, and captured the famous Kuomintang general Liao Yaoxiang alive, Du Yuming and Chen Cheng were all defeated under Han Xianchu.
After the defeat, Du Yuming bluntly said that among the communist troops in the northeast, Han Xianchu's whirlwind troops were the most difficult to deal with. Han Xianchu was named "Commander Whirlwind" because of this.
After the victory of the Liaoshen Campaign, Han Xianchu followed the army into the pass, fought a bloody battle in Tianjinwei, and won the victory in the Pingjin Campaign, and then followed the troops all the way to liberate Hubei and Hunan until the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong.
At that time, the leaders of Siye had a cautious attitude towards the liberation of Hainan, but Han Xianchu's attitude has always been very resolute, that is, he pursued the victory and took Hainan Island in one go, and finally impressed the marshal ***.
During the liberation of Hainan, it was also Han Xianchu who single-handedly led all the campaigns to liberate Hainan, and Han Xianchu's column forcibly crossed the sea by relying on wooden sailing boats, and it took half a month to liberate the entire territory of Hainan. It can be said that Han Xianchu's military exploits are indeed excellent, and many generals can only fight 1-2 of these exploits in their lives.
Therefore, in many subsequent film and television works, such as "The Great Battle" and "Liaoshen Campaign", the length of the description of Han Xianchu is very large, and Han Xianchu's popularity is also one of the highest among the generals.
So, compared with Han Xianchu, what is the advantage of General Hong'an? The first one is: ** fame is very early. ** joined the party in 1930, the same as Han Xianchu, but *** became famous much earlier than Han Xianchu.
Under the command of ***, ** is known as the "little steel cannon", and he is particularly brave in battle, and at the age of 20, he was trusted by the organization and became the division commander of the Red Army. Han Xianchu has been polishing at the grassroots level for a long time, at first he was just an ordinary soldier, he became famous late, and gradually rose to important positions step by step in the later stage of the Long March.
**The second advantage is: he served as the commander of the four famous regiments of the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War, and was rewarded by Chiang Kai-shek. During the Anti-Japanese War, ** worked in the 129th Division and was the main force in the main force of the 129th Division.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, ** took the soldiers of the 769 Regiment to the front line of the Shanxi Anti-Japanese War, and fought in Yangmingbao, ** led the soldiers to attack the Japanese airfield, blowing up 24 Japanese planes, and wiped out more than half of the Japanese planes in the North China battlefield at once, and the air force suffered heavy losses.
This battle was a good start for the 129th Division, and Chiang Kai-shek was very happy to learn about it, and rewarded the 129th Division with 20,000 yuan of oceans, and the ** 769 Regiment became famous in the first battle and was one of the four famous regiments of the Eighth Route Army.
The third advantage is that the war is extremely stable and the awareness of the overall situation is very good. ** This point makes *** very trusted, when Liu Deng's army marched into Dabie Mountain, every time he encounters a difficult hard battle, **let *** be responsible.
There are quite a few tiger generals in Liu Deng's army, even the famous Wang Jinshan, who admires the combat style of ***. Among the 17 corps leaders of the whole army, ** is the youngest commander, and Wang Jinshan is also willing to be the deputy of ***.
In the Northern Henan Campaign, the headquarters column with not very good command equipment surrounded and annihilated a mechanized brigade of the Kuomintang Army, relying on the strategy of avoiding its edge and luring the enemy into depth. During the Tangyin operation, ** paid attention to the overall situation, waited for the opportunity to join forces with his brother troops, and captured Sun Dianying, the commander of the 12th Column of the Kuomintang.
The last advantage is: smooth handling and excellent relationships. General Song Renqiang once gave *** a nickname: double-faced fox, which means that *** is not only an outstanding military and political cadre of our party, but also a legendary general of our army.
Don't look at *** is not very old, but Nakano's strong generals are very convinced of him, many famous generals such as Wang Jinshan, Zhou Xihan and others are not interested in political commissars and political work, but everyone listens to ***'s words. **Treat him kindly, both superiors and subordinates respect him.
These advantages have also been valued by Deng Gong, Chen Geng and others, who regard them as their right-hand men, and on the Huaihai battlefield, they specially transferred them to the front to confront Liu Zhi Group.
**Live up to the expectations of the old chief, stick to Su County for 10 hours, and destroy the enemy 120,000 people, captured the Kuomintang generals Qian Zhuoyan and Zhang Jiwu alive, effectively relieving the pressure of the PLA in the Battle of Nianzhuang.
In the most critical Shuangduiji battle, ** led reinforcements to appear in time, and Chen Geng's corps surrounded Huang Wei's corps, and finally under the siege of two famous generals, Huang Wei's tens of thousands of Kuomintang elites were trapped and died in the small Shuangduiji, and the PLA soldiers finally captured Huang Wei alive.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was deeply trusted by the old man and became the commander of the artillery of New China, responsible for the training of artillery personnel and the construction of missile bases.
To this end, he ran all over the planning map and more than 20 missile bases in the northwest to select sites for missile tests. He has traveled through deserts and no man's land with experts and fighters many times, and has made great contributions to the missile cause of the motherland. ** Also in the great award, he became the founding general of New China.
In June 1999, ** died of illness in Beijing at the age of 85.
