After the amnesty, Li Xianzhou saw *** I have questions,years unsolved.
Li Xianzhou revisited Laiwu in 1973, where he was defeated and captured that year. He told the local cadres who accompanied him about a past incident: when the whole army was preparing to break through, Han Liancheng, the commander of the 46th Army, suddenly disappeared a moment before the fierce battle.
This mystery haunted Li Xianzhou for 13 years, until he received *** help in 1960 after he was pardoned. **Tell Li Xianzhou that Han Liancheng's position at that time was the commander of the 46th Division, and the reorganized division was reorganized from the army, although it was nominally reduced by one level, but its strength was stronger.
Han Liancheng was originally the commander of the 46th Army, so it is customary to call him Commander Han. **'s explanation made Li Xianzhou basically understand why Han Lian suddenly disappeared and how to break out.
Although Li Xianzhou didn't go to see Han Liancheng, he had already found the answer.
Han Liancheng, a figure hidden behind the Gui family and Lao Jiang, is known as the "** General". His story was brought to the big screen, showing a legendary and wonderful life.
Han Liancheng is from Guyuan County, Gansu Province, studied in a private school, and later enlisted in the officer training team of the 7th Division of the Northwest Army due to his poor family. His life experience is not only closely related to the CCP, but also has a deep relationship with Lao Jiang and Bai Chongxi, a powerful local figure.
In 1926, Feng Yuxiang swore in Wuyuan to join the National Revolutionary Army, and Ma Hongkui's department was incorporated by Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang's thinking was progressive, and there were many middle-class members in his army, and Han Liancheng also began to contact CCP personnel during this period.
Liu Zhidan was the main founder of the Northwest Red Army, and his conversation with Han Liancheng, who was the platoon commander of the guard battalion, greatly improved his ideological consciousness. Han Liancheng's performance became more and more progressive, and he was appreciated by Liu Bojian, a communist who served as the head of the General Political Department of the Second Group Army.
Liu Bojian talked to Han Liancheng several times and instructed the secretary, surnamed Lin, to strengthen contact with him in the future. On the eve of the Northern Expedition, Secretary Lin handed Han Liancheng a letter of introduction, telling him to contact Wu political officers of the 56th Regiment.
However, Wu was unable to accompany the team on the Northern Expedition due to illness, and Han Liancheng searched for him several times to no avail. Later, Han Liancheng moved to many places and lost contact with the CCP. During the Northern Expedition, Han Liancheng was promoted to the commander of the cavalry regiment and temporarily placed under the command of Bai Chongxi, the former commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army.
Bai Chongxi combined a cavalry regiment of the Gui Department with Han Liancheng's cavalry regiment into a cavalry group, and Han Lian became the commander. The cooperation between the two was extremely harmonious, and Han Liancheng's ability was recognized by Bai Chongxi, and in the future exchanges, the relationship between the two sides became deeper and deeper.
Han Liancheng: The legendary transformation from a high-ranking Kuomintang general to an underground member of the Communist Party of China Han Liancheng is a legendary figure in modern Chinese history, he used to be a senior general of the Kuomintang, but in his life, an important change took place and became an underground member of the Communist Party of China.
Behind this change was his consideration of the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, as well as his belief in communism. Han Liancheng's transformation began in his Northern Expedition career, after the end of the Northern Expedition, he was cut by Lao Jiang in the name of dispatch, which caused dissatisfaction among Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others.
After that, the Central Plains War broke out, and Lao Jiang did not have an advantage in military affairs, but he was good at using silver dollar strategies, and successively bought Feng Yuxiang's old subordinates Han Fuyu, Ma Hongkui and others.
And Han Liancheng also became an important assistant to Lao Jiang in this process. However, at the beginning of the Central Plains War, the old Chiang army was defeated. One day in May, Feng Yuxiang's troops galloped for more than 80 miles at night and attacked Guide Airport.
Lao Chiang's headquarters was nearby, and there were only more than 200 guards around him at that time, and his life was hanging by a thread. In this case, Han Liancheng's status as the head of the regiment allowed him to use his influence to go to the rescue.
He personally led the main force to kill in the direction of the headquarters, and Feng Yuxiang's troops did not retreat until dawn the next day. After that, when Lao Jiang saw Han Liancheng, he praised him, and specially approved him to graduate from the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy to show his favor.
Since then, Han Liancheng's life path has broadened, he has won the appreciation of Lao Jiang, and is trusted by the Gui family, almost becoming the balance point of Lao Jiang and the Gui family.
And Han Liancheng just took advantage of this complex relationship and ran between Jiang Gui. **Among the local factions, Li Zongren is a relatively virtuous figure and can be courteous to Corporal.
At the repeated invitation of the Gui department, Han Liancheng went to work in the Gui army. As an outsider, he was gradually promoted from a brigade commander to the deputy commander of the group army in the Gui family, and some people said that he was no less trusted than Xia Wei, the most popular figure in the Gui family.
However, Han Liancheng's life in the Gui army did not last long, and Lao Jiang transferred him to the National Defense Research Institute in 1942 to study, trained him as his own, and kept him by his side as a staff officer after graduation.
Serving in the center, Han Liancheng saw the corrupt side of the Kuomintang's top leaders. For example, Chongqing secretly approached Japan to negotiate the terms of surrender. Chongqing has direct ties with a number of big traitors.
Some of the puppet armies that defected to Japan were also helped, and Chongqing attempted to use them to attack the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. At the same time, Han Liancheng came into contact with a large number of real materials about the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army sent from the front.
I learned that they were struggling to survive under the frantic "sweep" of the Japanese army, that they were really resisting Japan, and that they were also welcomed by the people in the base areas. The comparison between the two made Han Liancheng, who has a sense of justice, more eager to join the CCP.
In the summer of 1943, Han Liancheng contacted *** through a friend and the two met secretly. Han Liancheng told *** about his experience and expressed his admiration for the CCP.
But at that time, he did not agree to let Han Liancheng join the party, which was a decision based on the overall situation: first, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were still in a state of cooperation at that time, and the policy of the Kuomintang was to establish an anti-Japanese national united front.
If he openly poachs people from Lao Chiang's side, it will not be conducive to the relationship between the two sides, and it will also allow him to find an excuse to attack the CCP. Second, there is a saying about the hidden front work of the ** leader called "idle chess and cold sons", that is, to first plant chess pieces, gain the trust of the enemy, and then let them play a role when necessary.
Therefore, ** encouraged Han Liancheng to stay in the Kuomintang and work. Since then, Dong Biwu, Wang Ruofei, Li Kenong and others have also met with Han Liancheng, and the relationship between them has become closer.
However, Han Liancheng's transformation did not stop there. In 1944, the Battle of Guiliu was defeated, and Lao Jiang finally found an excuse to use his knife against Gui. He got rid of many generals of the Gui department in one go, and revoked the numbers of the 16th Army and the 31st Army.
The 46th Army of the Gui Department was originally going to be revoked, but the American General Stilwell thought that the combat effectiveness of the army was not bad, and was willing to give some American weapons and asked to keep the army.
However, Lao Jiang did not let Han Liancheng go, he transferred him from the Gui army and sent him to Kunming to serve as the governor of Yunnan. However, Han Liancheng did not give up his belief in communism because of this, and he still actively looked for opportunities to join the CCP.
In the end, Han Liancheng's efforts paid off. In 1946, he successfully joined the CCP and became an underground member of the CCP. After that, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, he actively engaged in the struggle against Chiang and made important contributions to the cause of China's liberation.
The former front-line anti-Japanese soldiers, the army commander was dismissed, and who was the new army commander became the focus. Both sides did not agree with the candidate proposed by the other party, and they were deadlocked for a long time, and finally chose Han Liancheng, who was recognized by both parties.
He returned to the Katsura clan as a military commander. **When he saw Han Liancheng, he asked: "I heard that your accent is like a northwesterner, why did you run to Gui to lead the soldiers?" Later, ** faced off against Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng was deceived by **.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Lao Chiang provoked a civil war in disregard of domestic peace calls and launched a full-scale attack on the liberated areas, but it was extremely unsmooth in the East China battlefield. Lao Jiang decided to win a big battle, sent his henchman Chen Cheng to replace Xue Yue, and formulated the "Battle of Lunan Battle" plan.
The 46th Army led by Han Liancheng was transferred to Shandong and placed under the command of Wang Yaowu. Before going to Shandong, Han Liancheng found Dong Biwu in Shanghai to report the relevant situation, and then instructed the East China Bureau to send someone to contact Han Liancheng.
Han Liancheng met with Shu Tong, director of the Political Department of the East China Military Region, and the two sides discussed the ways of cooperation and contact methods, and sent the information on the important deployment of the East China Military Region to the East China Military Region, which provided an important reference for the East China Military Region to formulate a plan to meet the enemy.
* The number of troops reached 310,000 and the equipment was advanced, while the Huaye army was only 270,000 and the equipment was relatively backward. In the face of a menacing enemy, how will Commander Huaye respond?
During an important military operation, **was instructed by ***. The core idea of this directive is to lure the enemy deeper, but also to give up certain places if necessary.
* After careful consideration of this, a new plan was proposed: to draw the main forces to the north and first annihilate the relatively weak enemy forces on the northern front. This plan is very clever, because it takes into account that the enemy and our troops on the southern front are equal in number, and the hard fight is not only costly, but also uncertain of victory; The enemy forces on the Northern Front were not only relatively weak, but also had complex internal relations.
In addition, if the enemy forces retreat after discovering our intentions, our army can also take the opportunity to attack Jiaoji Road and open up the connection between Luzhong, Jiaodong, and Bohai. This plan skillfully deployed the troops, created an illusion, and successfully made the enemy scheming and achieved the goal of attacking from the north and south.
Old Jiang was determined to wipe out the East China Liberation Army, but his subordinates did not buy it. Wang Yaowu had been on the battlefield for a long time and did not believe Chen Cheng's intelligence at all, and he judged that the East China Liberation Army had not suffered a major blow at all and it was impossible to withdraw.
He made many suggestions to Lao Jiang, but they were all rejected. In the end, Lao Chiang could only command three armies south with Li Xianzhou, deputy commander of the second appeasement zone. The order of the march was: Han Liancheng's 46th Army was at the front, the 73rd Army was in the center, and the 12th Army was at the rear, forming a long snake formation.
At this time, Huaye's main force was also secretly heading north, but due to poor traffic, the pace of progress was very slow. In order to complete the encirclement of the enemy forces on the northern front, Han Liancheng could only try to delay time.
Han Liancheng stops and goes, and he can drag it out. On the way, when there were occasional attacks by local troops, the advance was immediately halted. The PLA Southern Front troops abandoned Linyi on February 15, 1947 after completing the blocking mission.
After Chen Cheng occupied an empty city, instead of doubting it, he strengthened the idea that the PLA wanted to avoid the war, so he asked Wang Yaowu to command the troops to accelerate the southward march to encircle the PLA.
However, Wang Yaowu was still skeptical of Chen Cheng's decision, and personally flew to the air to reconnoitre, and sure enough, he found that a large number of PLA troops were heading north. Contacting the southern front, Chen Cheng captured Linyi without much effort, and he judged that it was likely that the main force of the People's Liberation Army was going north to eat Li Xianzhou's three groups.
Wang Yaowu did not ask Lao Jiang and Chen Cheng for instructions, and immediately ordered Li Xianzhou to shrink on all fronts. Soon, Lao Jiang was furious when he learned of the situation and still ordered Wang Yaowu to continue his southward advance.
In this way, Li Xianzhou's group sometimes went south, sometimes contracted, and became exhausted. On February 19, Huaye's main force had completed the encirclement of Li Xianzhou Group.
It was only at this time that Chen Cheng woke up like a dream and discovered the true intentions of the PLA, so he immediately ordered the Li Xianzhou group to shrink to the Laiwu area again. The 46th Army was responsible for defending the mountains south of Laiwu at this time.
On the evening of February 20, the People's Liberation Army bypassed the 46th Army and attacked Laiwu from the east, west, and north.
So far, the three armies of the enemy army have been put into the pockets of the People's Liberation Army. The supply channel of the army is cut off, what to do? Wang Yaowu believes that it is necessary to break through the siege immediately for three reasons: First, the PLA is good at the tactics of encirclement and reinforcements, and from past experience, it is difficult to break through after being surrounded, and the reinforcements are often completely annihilated.
Second, the besieged army was so large that it was difficult to meet the needs of air supplies alone, and without strong reinforcements, they would eventually be wiped out. Third, at that time, Jinan had no troops to send, and if the People's Liberation Army besieged Laiwu without attacking it and directly attacked Jinan, then the problem would be big.
Li Xianzhou convened his subordinates to discuss countermeasures, and everyone thought that they should break through: "This is a matter of responsibility, if you don't retreat, you won't be able to win, and you can't afford to take responsibility if you lose." ”
Li Xianzhou decided to break through, but Han Liancheng felt that he needed to wait for the troops to close. In the end, everyone agreed to wait a day before setting off. When the troops were about to leave, Han Liancheng suddenly disappeared.
Li Xianzhou sent several people to look for him, but none of them were found. They finally decided not to wait for Han Liancheng and started to set off. In the process of advancing, they were flanked by the PLA on three sides, Li Xianzhou was wounded in the leg, and the various units also lost contact.
He could only escape with a few guards, but was eventually captured by the PLA. **The whereabouts of senior general Han Liancheng are unknown, Cao Zhengduo, the commander of the newly formed 36th Division, fled back to Jinan, Tian Junjian, the commander of the 77th Division, committed suicide, and the rest of the personnel were all captured.
Wang Yaowu sighed: "If you put 50,000 pigs there, you won't be able to catch them in 3 days." ”
Where did Han Liancheng go?It turned out that this was a plan planned by him and Hua Ye - to delay time, give up command, and make the troops leaderless. After leaving Li Xianzhou, he hid in a bunker in the city with a guard platoon and Huaye's traffic officers.
After the liberation of Laiwu, Han Liancheng was taken to the Huaye Headquarters and met with **. What's even more amazing is that he has not been revealed at that time, and he intends to continue to lurk in **.
After that, he led two Huaye traffic officers from Qingdao to Nanjing, and was even appointed by Lao Jiang as a senior staff officer in the chamberlain. After that, he provided a lot of intelligence to the PLA.
Until 1948, a traitor in Huaye** and confessed Han Liancheng's identity, and he returned to the liberated area in desperation. In 1955, Han Liancheng was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
