In the later stages of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the diehard Kuomintang elements headed by Chiang Kai-shek tried to sabotage the anti-Japanese cooperation agreement of the Kuomintang and the Communists again.
In the spring of 1943, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Kuomintang troops stationed in the Hongze Lake area to attack the troops of the New Fourth Army in the area west of the area in order to destroy the Anti-Japanese Base Area in Huaibei established by our Party.
Under the compulsion of this grim situation, the CPC Central Committee decided to spontaneously resist the Kuomintang contingent and defend the anti-Japanese base area in Huaibei.
At this time, Han Deqin, chairman of the Nationalist government's Jiangsu Province, who was retreating due to the sweeping of the Japanese puppet army, also took the opportunity to lead the Kuomintang troops to occupy the garrison area of the New Fourth Army.
In order to smash the conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries, our army, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, fought shoulder to shoulder with the masses of the people and successfully captured Han Deloitte, a senior Kuomintang general.
However, when General Chen Yi asked the Yan'an Central Committee how to deal with Han Deqin, Chairman Mao instructed that the man be mixed up in captivity and released.
Born in 1892 in Jiangnan Township, Jiangsu Province, Han was sent to nanjing army elementary school in his early years to study military theory and command.
During his time at school, Han Deqin got to know Gu Zhutong, a fellow villager in the Huaiyin area with him, and because the two had very similar temperaments and characters, their personal relationship was also very close, and even once it was rumored that the two worshiped each other and became brothers.
After graduating from school, Han Deloitte was assigned to serve in the Beiyang Army at that time, and was successfully mixed with the post of regimental deputy.
However, as the people's resistance to the Beiyang government continued to increase, its Beiyang army also became thinner and weaker, approaching the sunset. At this time, Han Deloitte did not want to accompany the lonely Beiyang government to the funeral, so he returned to his hometown in Jiangsu after a certain injury.
However, Han Deqin did not want to end his military career in this regard, and then live a life of mediocrity. Han Deloitte, who sneaked back to his hometown, inquired many times and learned that his former friend Gu Zhutong was already an important member of the Kuomintang government at that time.
So after several twists and turns, Han Deloitte successfully took the relationship of his friend Gu Zhutong and served as the deputy director of the newly organized Twenty-first Division of the Nationalist Army.
In 1937, Gu Zhutong was appointed by the Nationalist government as the commander of the Ninth Army of the Nationalist Army, and cooperated with the Northern Expedition to capture the city of Nanjing.
Of course, Gu Zhutong, who had been promoted to a high official position, had not forgotten his good brother Han Deloitte and promoted him to be the chief of staff of the army, hoping that Han Deloitte would make a difference in this vigorous National Revolution.
Perhaps, Gu Zhutong, who had been a soldier all his life, had never imagined that his brother Han Deloitte actually had no combat talent, and even in the battles he had experienced in his life, he had almost repeatedly lost battles.
After the defeat of the National Revolution, Han Deqin was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek, the reactionary president of the Kuomintang at the time, to lead his troops to participate in the third encirclement and suppression of the Communist base areas.
In 1931, when Han Deloitte led the Kuomintang Fifty-second Division to encircle and suppress the party Central Committee's base area, it was ambushed by the main force of the Red Army, because the road was rough at that time, the troops could not be deployed, coupled with Han Deloitte's own improper command, the Fifty-second Division collapsed in an instant, and was taken down by the Red Army troops in one fell swoop.
Due to the excessive number of prisoners at that time, Han Deloitte secretly mixed with the Red Army's captives and finally received two silver dollars before absconding all the way back to Nanjing.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was then the president of the Nationalist government, after learning of this battle, scolded Han Deloitte as a "rice barrel general", but in the end, he saw the face of his friend Gu Zhutong and only gave Han Deloitte a demotion.
After accepting the punishment of the Kuomintang, Han Deloitte knew that he had made a big mistake and could not be recovered, so he began his current work in peace.
However, after a few days of stability, Han Deqin once again missed the life of the soldiers who led his troops to kill the enemy. Therefore, Han Deqin once again asked Gu Zhutong to dredge up relations for him, so that he could return to the military headquarters.
Under Han Deloitte's many pleadings, Gu Zhutong had no choice but to pull down his face and intercede with Chiang Kai-shek. Eventually, with the help of Gu Zhutong, Han Deloitte was able to go to the Jiangsu region with him.
In 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Gu Zhutong, due to his busy military affairs, ordered Han Deloitte to act as the chairman of Jiangsu Province and deputy commander of the Third Theater.
In 1943, after the War of Resistance Against Japan entered the third stage, the Japanese army began a purge strategy. At this time, the northern Jiangsu region where Han Deloitte and his troops were stationed were also affected by the Japanese army's sweep, and at this time, Han Deloitte launched a cooperative tactic of joining forces with the New Fourth Army troops stationed in another area of northern Jiangsu to resist the enemy.
In line with the sincerity of the joint War of Resistance, the CPC Central Committee actively cooperated with Han Deloitte in fighting and attacking the Japanese army. After the defeat of Han Deloitte's troops in battle, the New Fourth Army took the initiative to open up the garrison areas for them to take refuge and rest, and even received grain and grass from Han Deloitte's department to help them replenish ammunition. The spirit of righteousness of the New Fourth Army also made many officers and men of the Kuomintang grateful.
What the New Fourth Army did not expect was Han Deloitte, not a heroic figure who valued national righteousness, but a complete villain.
While the New Fourth Army and the masses of the people were uniting to resist Japan, Han Deqin led his troops to quickly seize the main base area of the New Fourth Army's Huaihai district, and even mobilized all the troops overnight in an attempt to capture the entire northern Jiangsu region.
Subsequently, Chen Yi, then commander of the New Fourth Army, hurriedly convened a new operational meeting after receiving a report from Han Deloitte's troops on the front line on the seizure of our army's garrison.
At the meeting, Zhang Yunyi, then deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, indignantly scolded Han Deqin for his rebellion and treachery. Subsequently, several people drafted a new battle plan and sent it to Yan'an for instructions.
After receiving Yan'an's approval, Chen Yi and several others quickly began to plan their battles. Han Deloitte, who originally thought that the victory was in hand, did not have the vigilance of the soldiers, but snored in the heavy rain, and at this time, the team of the New Fourth Army was braving the rain to move forward, racing against time to climb in the direction of the mountain head.
Finally, on March 18, 1943, the New Fourth Army launched a final counteroffensive against Han Deloitte's forces.
Due to Han Deloitte's lax management of his subordinates, the Nationalist troops had not yet reacted from sleep when the New Fourth Army attacked. After only half an hour of fighting, the Han Deloitte Department was almost completely annihilated.
At this time, the panicked Han Deloitte did another thing that made all the soldiers ashamed, and when the rest of the Kuomintang soldiers struggled to resist, Han Deloitte said that the Communists gave preferential treatment to the prisoners, so with the idea of staying in the green mountains, even if there was no firewood, Han Deloitte once again pretended to be an ordinary soldier who was captured, trying to pass the pass in a confused manner.
However, Han Deloitte's ideas this time were penetrated by Marshal Chen Yi, who had a poisonous eye, but at this time, Ren was in the period of the Kuomintang's anti-Japanese resistance and the disturbance was large, so Marshal Chen Yi sent a telegram to the direction of Yan'an again, which probably meant that Han Deloitte's department was almost completely annihilated, and Han Deloitte was captured again, how should it be handled.
Soon after, Chairman Mao of the Yan'an area called and considered putting the country and the nation first, so he preached that Han Deqin should be placed in captivity and released.
Han Deloitte, who successfully returned to Nanjing again, completely lost face to Chiang Kai-shek and Gu Zhutong, but Han Deloitte, who was devoted to Chiang Kai-shek and Gu, was soon reused by the old Chiang.
During the Liberation War, Han Deqin was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou. As we all know, the so-called Battle of Xuzhou was the second major battle in China's Liberation War, the Battle of Huaihai.
At that time, when Xue Yue, a senior Kuomintang official, learned that Han Deloitte had been appointed deputy commander, he scolded Chiang Kai-shek's nepotism method of warfare.
Of course, after the Battle of Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek, who had lost 800,000 troops of the Kuomintang, was completely disappointed in Han Deloitte, and Gu Zhutong no longer had the face to intercede for this good brother, so Han Deloitte completely ended his military and horse life, and in 1949, he retired to Taiwan with the National Government in Nanjing.
As a commander, he had no vigilance, no military talent to command the whole army, and countless soldiers' lives. As a soldier, he only wanted his own life, and he did not hesitate to take his life as a prisoner. As a Chinese, he did not have national righteousness, and when the country was alive and dead, he betrayed his faith and pointed the gun directly at the alliance.
It is a miracle that such a Han Deloitte can survive again and again without any danger!
