In December 1973, under the first order, the transfer of commanders of the eight military regions officially beganThe commanders of all military regions were very shocked by such a major policy decision concerning many military regions, but the commanders of most military regions quickly adjusted their mood, listened to the first arrangement, and began to make preparations for the transfer.
But there are always exceptionsHan Xianchu, the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, was very dissatisfied with this matter, if it was someone else, I am afraid that he would only complain in private, but he was straightforward and found ***
In the face of the menacing Han Xianchu, ** avoided talking about the reversal, but calmly chatted with him about family life.
**Laughing:"I, I have a tooth problem recently, maybe I am old, the doctor always recommends that I go for an operation, do you think I need to fill this tooth? ”
Han Xianchu said without thinking"It's natural, if something goes wrong, of course we have to make up ......for it”Before he finished speaking, he was stunned in his heart, looking at the meaningful smile, he immediately understood the chairman's intentions.
It was originally a matter of one sentence, why did you want to go around that big bend with Han Xianchu? In the face of ***'s good intentions, what will Han Xianchu do?
In 1913, Han Xianchu was born in Hong'an County, Hubei Province, and he couldn't afford to go to school because of his poor background, so he became a cattle herder on Dabie Mountain at a young age.
After experiencing the hardships of life, he deeply realized that only the courage to fight can completely change the reality of the oppression of the poor, so he took the initiative to participate in the local Jute Uprising in 1927In 1930, he signed up for the Red Army and officially embarked on the road of revolution.
Because of his bravery, Han Xianchu made rapid progress in the army, and he achieved excellent results with his desperate strength, and was soon promoted from an ordinary Red Army soldier to a battalion commander, regiment commander, and even division commander.
In 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, under the unified deployment of the first country, Han Xianchu led the troops to go deep into the southeast of ShanxiUnder his command, the officers and men of the regiment stubbornly resisted the Japanese, successfully repelled seven frantic counterattacks by the Japanese army, annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese troops, and won many praises from the superior leaders.
In order to improve his military theoretical level, Han Xianchu entered Yan'an Kang University in 1941 to study, and after systematic and scientific study, his military command ability has made a qualitative leap, especially in the theoretical study of the operation of the large corps.
In 1945, with the comprehensive victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Han Xianchu also officially returned from his studies, and he was ready to show his skills on the battlefield, and he immediately went to the Northeast and became a main cadre in the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army.
At that time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had just ended, and the whole country was looking forward to peaceful reunification, but the Kuomintang tried in vain to implement it, and they took the rich Northeast as the priority target to conquer.
In order to achieve the real liberation of the country, we formulated the operational policy of occupying the northeast one step ahead of the enemy, and ordered the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army to pay close attention to the movement of the Kuomintang army and ensure that the northeast is foolproof.
And in the process,As deputy commander of the 4th Column of the South Manchurian Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, Han Xianchu gave full play to his command and combat talents, participated in and commanded many battles, and not only successfully captured several important towns, but also ruthlessly thwarted the enemy's arrogance.
At the beginning of October 1946, in order to reverse the situation of the war, the main force of the Kuomintang army began to launch an attack on the liberated areas of South Manchuria, including the 25th Division of the Kuomintang Army, known as the "Thousand Miles of Horses".
At this critical moment, Han Xianchu led the troops to rush back day and night, and he rushed to the battlefield in time like a whirlwind, and under his command, the whole army finally reached the determination to fight.
Faced with a situation in which the enemy was strong and we were weak, Han Xianchu and others adhered to the operational policy of luring the enemy into depth, concentrated superior forces to defeat the strong enemy, and finally succeeded in annihilating the 25th Division after a difficult fierce battle.
After the war, he was not only commended and rewarded by the ** Military Commission, but also his prestige as "Commander of the Whirlwind" was also widely spread in the Kuomintang camp, and his troops were also recognized by the Kuomintang generals as the most difficult "whirlwind force" in the northeast.
In the following war of liberation, Han Xianchu's whirlwind never stopped, and he commanded the troops to blow from the northeast to Wuhan, and then from Wuhan to Changsha, making great contributions to the founding of New China.
On April 16, 1950, under the strong suggestion of Han Xianchu, the battle to liberate Hainan Island began ahead of schedule; From July 1952 to April 1953, Han Xianchu was appointed deputy commander of the Volunteer Army and went to Korea to continue fighting.
It is because of these immortal exploits,In 1955, Han Xianchu was awarded the rank of general in the army's great award, and two years later, he was officially appointed as the supreme commander of the Fuzhou Military Region.
In the face of the Fuzhou Military Region, which is strategically located, Han Xianchu devoted all his body and mind to the construction of the military region, and comprehensively adjusted and upgraded all management systems at all levels of the military region.
Sixteen years have passed, Fuzhou has become Han Xianchu's second hometown, and he has long been deeply in love with this land and the old folks who live on this land.
However, with the continuous development of the domestic political situation, some individual problems have emerged in some military regions, and in order to strengthen the leadership and control of the army, after soliciting opinions from many parties, in December 1973, it was officially decided to transfer the commanders of the eight military regions at that time.
The eight major military regions involved in the transfer were: the Beijing Military Region, the Shenyang Military Region, the Jinan Military Region, the Wuhan Military Region, the Nanjing Military Region, the Guangzhou Military Region, the Lanzhou Military Region, and the Fuzhou Military Region.
Such a large-scale transfer of military regions has naturally aroused widespread concern at home and abroad, and many foreign scholars have also made various comments and speculations, and for the current commanders of the eight military regions, it is even more difficult to put into words what they have in mind, and Han Xianchu's opposition is the strongest.
According to the unified instructions, the commanders of the eight military regions need to rush to their new posts immediately after receiving the transfer order, and complete the handover within 10 days, but Han Xianchu, who was supposed to go to the Lanzhou Military Region to take office, did not arrive as scheduled, but went straight to Beijing"Bold" He wanted to find *** in person to ask for an explanation.
For Han Xianchu's intentions, ** already knew it, so after meeting, he didn't wait for the other party to speak, so he preemptively raised a question:"Recently I had a problem with one of my teeth, and the dentist suggested that I go for an operation to replace this tooth. ”
**The question raised made Han Xianchu confused, but out of common sense, he still replied with a serious face:"If the tooth is sick, of course it has to be repaired, otherwise the hole will get bigger and bigger, and it will be out of control, and it will be too late to make up for it! ”
After listening to Han Xianchu's words, ** nodded approvingly and said with a smile:"You said it very well! I was not wrong! So what are you here for? ”
Han Xianchu blurted out:"I'm here this time to transfer ...... military region”He stopped suddenly, looking at the eyes of *** expectation, he suddenly understood the intention of the chairman to put forward the idea of filling teeth, so he smiled and said with some guilt"Chairman, I'm fine, I'll report to the Lanzhou Military Region immediately! ”
After Han Xianchu arrived at the Lanzhou Military Region, he immediately threw himself into his work, and wanted to personally rush to the border troops to conduct an on-the-spot investigation"Don't you all say I'm Commander Whirlwind? How can this whirlwind rest on the ground? ”
Saying that, the group drove off, but encountered a black wind on the road, which is actually the sandstorm we are familiar with, because most of the Gansu region is a high mountain terrain, it is very easy to form sand and ups and downs.
At this time, the staff on the side proposed to avoid the wind before leaving, looking at the flying sand and rocks in the sky, Han Xianchu said with a smile:"It doesn't matter, as early as when I was in Fuzhou, I often encountered typhoons, and now I have come to Lanzhou, isn't this wind also coming? I'm not afraid of typhoons, and this black wind can't scare me! ”
Although it was a joke, Han Xianchu also made up his mind to do a big job in Lanzhou from this moment, That's itHe adhered to a red heart and devoted all his energy to the construction of the Lanzhou Military RegionJust like in Fuzhou back then, it is deeply rooted here and silently dedicates everything.
UntilIn 1980, Han Xianchu officially submitted his resignation application to *** due to personal health reasons, After leaving the military region, he did not choose to spend his old age in peace, but proposed to go back to his hometown to see.
After thousands of miles of arduous trekking, Han Xianchu finally returned to his hometown - Hong'an, standing on the land of his hometown, he couldn't help but recall what he looked like when he joined the army.
After the villagers learned of Han Xianchu's arrival, everyone ran to tell each other, and spontaneously came to the entrance of the village to greet him, looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Han Xianchu felt extremely warm, he shook hands with the villagers cordially and talked, not feeling strange at all.
In the midst of this bustle, suddenly an old but familiar voice came from the crowd:"Zubao! "Zubao! ”
Hearing this call, Han Xianchu was stunned for a moment, and then tears welled up, The villagers were calling for no one else, it was his name.
The time to get together is always short, and when it comes to separation, the villagers look at him reluctantly, although Han Xianchu is also full of reluctance, but he still pretends to be relaxed and says"It's a long time coming, I'll always come back, let's take a picture together! ”
In this way, under the big maple tree at the entrance of the village, Han Xianchu fought side by side with the villagers, leaving a precious group photo in a group of harmony.
However, Han Xianchu, who has always kept his promises, broke his promiseOn October 3, 1986, Han Xianchu died of illness in Beijing at the age of 73, forever placed in the Hong'an Martyrs Cemetery, the boy who left home finally returned to his roots.
Whether it was during the arduous War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or in the face of severe political realities, General Han Xianchu was like a never-ending whirlwind, commanding the soldiers to be invincible and invincible, and made immortal contributions to the cause of the Chinese revolution.
