Or the old rules directly into the theme, today we will talk about the story of the founding general Han Xianchu, it is said that the founding general Liu Zhen in the Red Army at first was only a cook, his squad leader was Chen Xianrui, and later promoted to the founding lieutenant general, in a troop transfer, Chen Xianrui with the cooking class and the troops set off together, others fight are shoulder long guns, waist bullets, but Liu Zhen's back is a marching pot.
When the troops passed through a forest, Liu Zhen saw someone coming out of the grass, talking while walking, and asked: Comrade brother, comrade brother, which unit are you from? Pull me along.
As the visitor shouted, Liu Zhen began to be alert, and after interrogation, he found that his name was Han Xianchu.
Born in 1913, Han Xianchu's hometown is located in Hong'an County, Hubei Province, when he was 14 years old, the jute uprising broke out, he joined the local peasant association, and at the age of 17, he joined the local guerrilla group in Xiaogan and joined the Communist Party, and han Xianchu has been insisting on guerrilla struggle there ever since.
In April 1933, Han Xianchu's independent regiment was reorganized, and he became the deputy company commander of the 224th Regiment of the Red 25th Army.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Han Xianchu's unit had an encounter with the enemy, he had to run to the forest to hide, and as a result, when the enemy retreated, he also lost contact with the troops, and it happened that Liu Zhen's brother troops passed through that mountain forest, and Han Xianchu followed him when he saw that it was a Red Army team.
Liu Zhen heard Han Xianchu call him "comrade brother", and learned that he was missing from the army and was still a fellow hubei countryman, so he wanted him to carry the marching pot for himself (in fact, because the marching pot was too heavy), he consulted with the squad leader Chen Xianrui, and left Han Xianchu, so Han Xianchu carried the pot all the way to the camp and made food for everyone.
Speaking of this, let's briefly mention Liu Zhen's revolutionary resume, Liu Zhen is two years younger than Han Xianchu, as a Hubei Xiao touching person, he joined the Red Guards in 1930, and then joined the Red Army in September 1931, was assigned to the Red Army guerrilla brigade in Pixiao County as a soldier, and in August 1932, he joined the Communist Party.
Liu Zhen entered the Red 25th Army about a month later than his compatriot Han Xianchu, and his position was several levels lower than That of Han Xianchu, when he was also the deputy squad leader of the first detachment of the Red 25th Army Pistol Regiment, but in 1955, Liu Zhen and Han Xianchu were both awarded the rank of general at the same time, and Chen Xianrui, the head of the cooking squad, was also awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
Han Xianchu fought decisively and bravely, and even Boss Peng dared not listen to his words
Just chatted about an interesting story between Liu Zhen and Han Xianchu, let's return to the theme, in the spring of 1936, our army marched east to Shanxi, then Han Xianchu, who was already the commander of the Red 75th Division, sent two battalions to cooperate with the local guerrillas to surround Shilou, and also preemptively controlled the Yellow River crossing, successfully covering the headquarters of the central organs.
After that, Han Xianchu fought a victorious battle near shuangchi town without orders from his superiors, annihilating no less than a hundred enemy battalions and local militia regiments, and he was also directly promoted to deputy commander of the 78th Division.
In May of the same year, Mr. Peng led the Red First Army and the Red Fifteenth Army to the west, when the Red Fifteenth Army soldiers marched west in two ways, and it was the Red 78th Division commanded by Han Xianchu who was in charge of the north road.
The troops marched in a hurry for two days and arrived at Dingbian Chengguan, at which time Han Xianchu received a report from a scout that there was a cavalry battalion of the Kuomintang Ma Hongkui's department in the city, and when he heard that it was a cavalry battalion, Han Xianchu's eyes lit up, and he came to his strength, directly ordering Wang Derong, the commander of the 232nd Regiment, and Liu Maogong, the political commissar, to study the plan to attack the cavalry battalion, and at the same time asked the chief of staff to report to Peng Laozong and the Red Fifteenth Army Headquarters.
The chief of staff summed up 24 words in the telegram: The enemy is afraid of our annihilation, siege the city of Keke, our division decided to annihilate the enemy in Kecheng, and looked forward to quickly checking and reviewing.
For this battle, Han Xianchu was already confident, but He expected that if He could not attack the fixed side, it might affect the overall combat operation, so he did not agree to this battle plan, and also instructed Han Xianchu to continue to detour forward.
Han Xianchu received the order at this time, and began to hesitate, whether to fight or not to fight, it was too much to pity not to fight, and when the enemy was ready to fight again, it would certainly pay a heavy price.
Based on the attack on Dingbian City, he was out of two considerations, one was that when the Red 25th Army rushed to cross the Malian River, a bloody battle broke out with the enemy cavalry battalion, and even the deputy commander Xu Haidong was almost trapped here, or Han Xianchu desperately took the initiative to attack with the whole battalion, tearing open an opening in the encirclement circle with powerful firepower, before covering Xu Haidong to kill a bloody road.
Seeing the enemy's cavalry battalion this time, Han Xianchu immediately thought of the blood feud of the past, so how could he watch the enemy slip away from under his eyes.
Second, the enemy cavalry battalion had obviously discovered the Red Army troops, but they did not move according to the troops, and it was clear that the troops were empty and did not dare to act rashly, so Han Xianchu resolutely ordered the 232nd Regiment to concentrate its forces to surround and annihilate the enemy cavalry battalion, and sure enough, it won a complete victory.
Han Xianchu's credit during the Liberation War
Regarding the War of Liberation, Han Xianchu also fought many victorious battles, such as the Battle of Xinkailing in October 1946, and in 1947, Han Xianchu and political commissar Peng Jiaqing fought against the enemy more than 50 times in the Fengcheng and Kuandian areas where the enemy was heavily defended, pulled out more than 40 enemy strongholds, and annihilated more than 6,000 enemy personnel.
After that, in the campaign to liberate Hainan Island in 1950, Han Xianchu made another great contribution, he vigorously defied the consensus of the people, let the corps headquarters and Siye postpone the general offensive time, until April 10 issued the order for large-scale forced crossing operations, on April 16, our side officially launched a general offensive, and Han Xianchu led more than 30,000 soldiers to forcibly cross the sea.
At that time, Xue Yue did not expect that his elaborate defensive line did not work, and as a result, it was quickly breached by the People's Liberation Army, and Hainan Island was successfully liberated, so until the end of the Korean War, Han Xianchu sat in Fuzhou as the commander of the military region, and was not transferred out until 1974.
