There was a famous general in the Fourth Field Army of the People's Liberation Army who was brave and decisive and daring to take risks in battle, and he was even able to stand shoulder to shoulder with General Su Yu, who was known as the "God of War" at that time. It's just that this general's combat experience is not as rich as Su Yu's, and his official position is not very high, so he is often ignored, but if the story of his "boldness" is mentioned, it should have been spread to the streets and alleys.
There are many discussions about the army in the mouths of the people, one of which is that it is rumored that the army has "two hegemons", one is Xu Shiyou, and the other is Han Xianchu. However, someone once asked Xu Shiyou, "Among the many Chinese generals, who do you admire the most?" Xu Shiyou replied: "Han Xianchu." When asked why, he replied, "Because he is brave and resourceful." ”
The general who can be revered by the generals and the people at the same level is Han Xianchu, who is known as the "Whirlwind Commander". He acted vigorously and resolutely, and made countless feats, so that many soldiers were impressed, and even the Kuomintang officers who stood on the enemy side had to praise Han Xianchu - "It is indeed the most difficult person to deal with." ”
On the battlefield, Han Xianchu not only dared to "disobey" the orders of his superiors; In life, he often made the feat of "pulling out a knife to help when the road is uneven".
Such a flesh-and-blood general with clear love and hatred has indeed left a lot of anecdotes for future generations, and even in the evaluation of military ranks after the founding of New China, Han Xianchu was rated as the "founding general" by not having enough qualifications.
February 1913. Han Xianchu was born in a poor peasant family in Huang'an County, Hubei Province, and similar to the childhood experience of most great people, Han Xianchu also picked up the burden of the family early.
In a difficult living environment, in order to make a living, Han Xianchu did a lot of hard work, and it was these hard experiences that made him see many distressing phenomena. He hated being bullied because he was weak, and he hated the oppression of landlords and the aggression of foreign enemies.
In the raging flames of revolution, Han Xianchu, who was only 16 years old, resolutely participated in the peasant revolutionary struggle, he joined the peasant association in his hometown, participated in the anti-imperialist alliance, and also served as a Soviet land commissar, and he wanted to do everything in his power to make some contribution to the people.
It was not until October 1930 that Han Xianchu finally joined the Communist Party of China and began his military career.
When it comes to Han Xianchu's invincible glorious deeds, we have to talk about a very interesting phenomenon, because he often only served as a deputy to participate in large-scale battles because of his lack of official position, but he always "forced" his superiors to fight according to his orders, and what is even more interesting is that as long as he listens to his orders, he can win the battle.
Han Xianchu's unique military insights, although he achieved his own good story of winning a hundred battles, also brought "embarrassing" pressure to his superiors. With such a talented and "disobedient" subordinate, whoever stands in front of him has to pinch a cold sweat, and Hu Qicai, commander of the Fourth Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, has a deep understanding.
In the Xinkailing Battle in 1946, Hu Qicai and Han Xianchu cooperated to command the battle. Hu Qicai is also a powerful general, and in terms of combat experience and command level, he far surpasses Han Xianchu. However, since the Liberation War, Han Xianchu has also set many achievements, and he has moved forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner.
In the Battle of Xinkailing, the 25th Division, the powerful ace unit of the Kuomintang army, occupied favorable terrain ahead of our army, and their reinforcements were also on their way.
After analyzing the battle situation, Hu Qicai thought that he could no longer confront the 25th Division of the Nationalist Army, so he wanted to order the withdrawal of the army, but this decision was opposed by Han Xianchu.
For a time, the headquarters was in trouble because of the dispute over "whether to withdraw or not to withdraw", the strength of the 25th Division should not be underestimated, and there were powerful reinforcements coming soon.
At the critical moment, Han Xianchu led the 10th Division of the column to rush back from 200 miles away day and night, saw the rescuers, and the soldiers also strengthened their determination to continue the attack, and Hu Qicai also agreed to Han Xianchu's combat policy.
In the end, the four columns led by Han Xianchu gritted their teeth and fought this battle, and the 25th Division was annihilated. The victory in this battle was actually unexpected by everyone, and the most powerful unit of the Kuomintang army did not expect to be easily annihilated by our army. Hu Qicai also said that the main credit for the victory of this battle lies in Han Xianchu, the "deputy commander".
This is also the first time that Han Xianchu "disobeyed" the orders of his superiors, this battle made him famous, and several Kuomintang army commanders who sat in the northeast commanded called Han Xianchu "Commander of the Whirlwind", and even Du Yuming, the commander of the Kuomintang Army, mentioned Han Xianchu with sincere admiration.
In his later military career, Han Xianchu often disagreed with his superiors, but his "opposition" brought correct guidance to the army. Therefore, instead of being offended, his superiors praised him.
If Han Xianchu is so "reckless" because his military rank is not much different from his superiors, then you must not think that he even dared to disobey the instructions of the *** commander.
But afterwards, instead of punishing him for acting without authorization, he admired and admired Han Xianchu very much, and said: "If you were worried at that time, it would affect the entire combat operation, and thanks to Han Xianchu, our army did not pay a painful price." ”
In fact, every "opposition" of Han Xianchu was carefully considered, he had a shrewd mind and extraordinary talent, he was decisive in killing, and understood the importance of timing on the battlefield, and it was precisely because of his courage to be the first that he added a lot of glorious history to the history of our army.
In 1953, Han Xianchu, who originally showed his skills on the Korean battlefield, had to retreat to the background because of a sudden stomach ulcer, and due to the impact of his illness, he soon returned to China from North Korea.
Han Xianchu, who returned to China, was also unable to be idle for a day, and he came to the Nanjing Advanced Military Academy to study and improve his knowledge and horizons.
In 1957, Han Xianchu, who successfully graduated, found General ***, he said: "I can't wait for a moment, let me go to a place where I can fight!" ”
The general replied to him: "The situation in Fujian is very tense now, and the Kuomintang authorities have been ready to move the mainland and continue to harass the coastal areas of Fujian. In this case, you should go to the Fuzhou Military Region to serve as the commander, which is just right for your appetite. ”
In this way, Han Xianchu came to Fuzhou and served as the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, and at the same time the first secretary of the Party Committee of the Military Region.
Soon after arriving in Fujian, Han Xianchu commanded the People's Liberation Army to launch an artillery bombardment of the Kuomintang troops in Kinmen and Matsu, which is also known as "823 Kinmen Artillery Battle".
This artillery battle was not only Han Xianchu's personal fighting style, but also a decision made by him after carefully considering relevant political issues. At this time, Lebanon was opposing the aggression of the United States, and the Kuomintang was the first faction, and our army's "shelling of Kinmen" was also a support for the anti-American actions of the Lebanese people from the side.
In 1962, Taiwan's Kuomintang made a wild statement: "Its actions are not constrained by the United States, and it is independent of the mainland." ”
When Han Xianchu heard the news, he said: "They are putting gold on their faces, just like a typhoon, and it will pass in a while, but if they use the Golden Horse Defense Force and the pirates to sneak attack the coastal front line at night, and then engage in the tactic of fighting and leaving, then we have to guard against it." ”
Sure enough, the Kuomintang army sent a small number of men to make constant disturbances along the coast, but Han Xianchu had already thought of a plan to deal with them.
Under the command of Han Xianchu, in the following 11 years, the forward troops of the Fujian Military Region repelled more than 90 interferences by the Kuomintang army, and annihilated more than 1,000 people in total.
After Han Xianchu came to Fujian, the coastal areas were obviously much more stable, and the Kuomintang's harassment of the mainland also decreased.
In May 1966, Han Xianchu served as the secretary of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In May 1967, he was appointed director of the Fujian Provincial Military Management Commission.
In August 1968, he was appointed director of the Fujian Provincial Revolutionary Committee.
Han Xianchu, who is famous in Fujian, suddenly became the "king of Fujian" in the mouth of the people, and Han Xianchu has always kept up with the pace of the party, and his work in Fujian has always been diligent and conscientious, and he has not made any mistakes.
General Han Xianchu inspected the work on the streets of Fuzhou City, and in order not to cause trouble to the people, Han Xianchu and the accompanying guards were wearing civilian clothes and behaving in a low-key manner.
When it was time to eat at noon, Commander Han said that he could just find a nearby restaurant to make do with it, so they came to a restaurant to eat.
After Commander Han entered the private room, he sat calmly on the stool and tasted the tea that the waiter had just made. Unexpectedly, before he had taken two sips of tea, someone suddenly kicked open the door of the private room, Han Xianchu looked up and saw that more than a dozen untidy and angry little ruffians were standing in front of him, and one of the leaders said to Han Xianchu: "Hey, you group of people, you have entered the wrong private room!" ”
The person in front of him was very arrogant and unreasonable, Han Xianchu was angry when he saw it, he signaled the guards around him not to make a move first, and said to the leader, "Are you a staff member?" How did we know we were in the wrong room? ”
The leader not only did not have a good attitude of speaking, but raised his toes, he said: "You still dare to ask me, uncle, I am happy today, don't worry about you, I tell you now, this is my special place to eat and relax, I can't sit anywhere else, no matter who it is, as long as I come in, you have to give me a place." If you know each other, you can quickly move the place and leave, if the movement is slow, I will be unhappy, and it will not look good when I move. ”
Hearing this, Han Xianchu thought to himself, "It turned out to be an unreasonable ruffian hooligan", he also pretended to be a hippie smile, and said to the leader: "It turns out that I want to make way for the uncle, you can make room, you can come over for a while." ”
When the unknown leader heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he staggered forward and said as he walked: "If you know where to make room, leave quickly, and call me over?" I'd like to see what you're going to do, if you're getting impatient. ”
As soon as he walked up, Commander Han stretched out his hand without warning, "* Two times, firmly flung on the leader's face, these two slaps went down, everyone in the private room was stunned, the leader had two obvious handprints on his face, and there was even a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
When the leader regained his strength, he said angrily to the followers behind him: "Brothers, this guy actually dares to beat me, all of them will copy the guy for me and kill him!" ”
When these dozen or so people heard the order, they immediately took out daggers and machetes from their bodies, and stepped forward as they moved, seeing that they were about to pounce on Commander Han. At this time, Han Xianchu's guards immediately took out their guns, and the chief of the guard pointed a gun at them, and then shouted: "Put down the murder weapon in your hand, whoever dares to move again will shoot!" ”
When the gangsters saw the gun in front of them, although they didn't know whether it was true or not, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move for a while, and obediently put down the knife in their hands, and the guards quickly stepped forward to collect the murder weapon and control the gangsters.
I thought that Han Xianchu would order to be escorted to the public security department for processing, but he didn't expect him to order the guards, "Let's beat these ** first." So the guards punched and kicked the gangsters, begging for mercy and crying bitterly. Commander Han saw that the fight was almost over, so he asked them to stop.
Han Xianchu stepped forward to pull out this leader and scolded him: "What are you all a bunch of? Usually so domineering, what do you want to do? He dared to act recklessly and oppress the people. Today, I ran into me, if it were someone else, I would let you be bullied? ”
The leader hurriedly begged for mercy, but he didn't know Han Xianchu's identity, he said: "Big brother, my brother doesn't know Taishan with eyes, and I don't know the origin of the eldest brother, you can spare the younger brothers this time, and we will all follow you in the future!" ”
Han Xianchu snorted and continued: "I'm not from the underworld like you, you don't care who I am, but I want you to know that as long as you dare to do evil and oppress the people, I won't let you go!" How can you do such a thing all day long at a young age, can ordinary people withstand such a toss from you? I have to teach you a lesson before you remember! ”
After a meal of "education", Han Xianchu asked the guards to call the public security organs and asked them to escort these ruffians back for trial, and they knew that it was Han Xianchu, the general who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more.
After the trial, it turned out that this group of thugs were some unemployed homeless people in the local area, who were idle all day long, ran rampant, and lived by forcibly collecting protection money from the people. After being sent to the Public Security Bureau, they received the punishment they deserved, and the people who were oppressed by them also sank their hearts.
Since then, the streets and alleys of Fujian have spread the story of "Commander Han angrily fanning the gangsters", which not only allows the people to live a down-to-earth life, but also stops some unscrupulous young people who want to do evil. When encountering such a "street fighter" who does whatever he wants, the people can also bravely resist, because they know that there is such a "Fujian king" who supports them behind their backs.
Comrade Han Xianchu devoted his whole life to the cause of China's revolution, construction, and reform; he was not greedy for fame and profit, and he regarded death as his home and dared to be the first no matter whether he worked or fought; He does not put on an official show, and puts the happiness of the people first. His immortal feats will forever be recorded in the annals of the Chinese nation, and his stories that have been passed down among the people will also become legends and good stories.
