In 1986, Han Xianchu was critically ill, and the old chief Chen Yun came to see him. At that time, Han Xianchu was 73 years old, which was a hurdle that many people could not pass. Han Xianchu did not step forward in the end. How old was Han Xianchu's old chief, Chen Yun? He is 81 years old. Big Brother came to see the last side of the little brother, and that scene must have been quite emotional.
At the Seven Daojiang Meeting, Chen Yun watched Han Xianchu disappear into the snow and wind, saying, We need such people too much
Chen Yun is a native of Shanghai, a general of the Central Red Army, who once served as a representative of the Central Committee of the Fifth Red Army and the political commissar of the column of the Central Military Commission. Han Xianchu was a native of Hong'an, Hubei Province, and a general of the Red 25th Army. Do the two of them have any intersection? Their first dealings should have been in the Northeast Battlefield.
It was the cold winter of 1946. Xiao Jinguang led the third column and the fourth column to hold nanman. The situation in southern Manchuria was so dangerous that the Kuomintang army launched a large-scale attack and the base area was shrinking day by day. What to do? Does Nanman want to insist on it in the end?

At the critical moment, Xiao Jinguang asked Chen Yun, secretary of the South Manchuria Branch, to come and make a decision. Late that night, everyone held a meeting in Qidaojiang. Chen Yun braved the snow to rush over. The meeting was very hotly debated. There are many people who advocate abandoning southern Manchuria and withdrawing their troops to northern Manchuria, leaving the green mountains behind, not afraid of running out of firewood.
Of course, there are also people who advocate holding on to Southern Manchuria, such as Xiao Jinguang, commander of the South Manchuria Military Region, and Han Xianchu, who insist on staying behind and fighting. Whether they were in favor of staying or advocating evacuation, they were deeply impressed by Han Xianchu.
Han Xianchu's position at that time was not high, he was only the deputy commander of the fourth column, but he had a clear banner and dared to take a stand, Chen Yun admired Han Xianchu from the bottom of his heart, and finally made a decision, no one was allowed to leave, and everyone insisted on southern Manchuria together. The meeting decided that two columns, one to stay in charge of the house, to block the enemy head-on, and one to jump to the outside line, to undertake the arduous task of roundabout combat.
Obviously, it is more difficult to jump to the outside line. The meeting fell silent. It was Han Xianchu who broke the silence and said let's go to the fourth column. At that time, the commander of the Fourth Column, Hu Qicai, fell ill and recuperated, and Han Xianchu, the deputy commander, provoked the girder.

Chen Yun asked with a look of approval,
Are there any difficulties?
Han Xianchu replied,
Just solve the cold cotton coat.
Everyone pieced together and equipped the soldiers of the fourth column with some cotton coats, and on average two people could be given a coat or a blanket.
When the meeting was adjourned, Han Xianchu did not leave immediately, and he went to Chen Yun again, stating that Nan man must hold firm and could hold out. Between the words, Chen Yun felt that Han Xianchu was more anxious than anyone else, and he was afraid of giving up Nanman, just like giving up his own child.
Chen Yun asked Han Xianchu to rest assured, saying that he would not go anywhere, and would sit in Southern Manchuria and coexist and die with Southern Manchuria. Han Xianchu left with confidence. Watching Han Xianchu's back disappear into the snowstorm, Chen Yun said to Xiao Jinguang with emotion,
We need such people too much.
Chen Yun and Xiao Jinguang broke with the norm and let the deputy commander Han Xianchu unify their command
Chen Yun and Xiao Jinguang are the principal responsible persons of the South Manchuria Military Region, and they are the decision-makers, and whether or not the policy decisions can be implemented and whether the established strategic objectives can be achieved depends on generals like Han Xianchu. After all, victory is made with the barrel of a gun.
(Han Xianchu)
The two columns cooperated inside and outside, three battles and three victories, and the situation in southern Manchuria was very good. Soon, the enemy mobilized 100,000 troops to invade southern Manchuria for the fourth time. Later, many people studied the history of the northeast war and said that the three rivers in the south of the jiangsu and the four bao linjiang were like climbing the mountain, which was the most difficult period in the northeast, and as long as the mountain was climbed, the descent was much smoother. The same is true of the facts.
The sign of climbing to the top of the mountain is the fourth battle of the river. Chen Yun and Xiao Jinguang attached great importance to this campaign, and specially sent Han Xianchu, deputy commander of the fourth column, to the third column to cooperate with Commander Zeng Kelin in coordinating operations. However, in the study of specific playing styles, Han Xianchu and Zeng Kelin had a dispute.
Han Xianchu advocated taking the enemy by surprise and hitting the strong enemy first, while Zeng Kelin's opinion was relatively safe, fighting the weak enemy first. Both opinions were reported to the South Manchuria Military Region. Chen Yun and Xiao Jinguang received the telegram, quickly studied it, and agreed that Han Xianchu's opinion should be adopted.
(Major General Zeng Kelin)
In the reply telegram to the third column, Chen Yun and Xiao Jinguang particularly emphasized a sentence, and Han Xianchu unified command of the third column and the fourth column. This is a very out-of-the-box approach. Han Xianchu was only the deputy commander of the column, and it was unreasonable for him to command Zeng Kelin, the commander of the column.
Special cases are treated specially. This sentence is full of Chen Yunxiao Jinguang's high trust in Han Xianchu, and they have high hopes for Han Xianchu. Of course, the later fact is that Han Xianchu became famous in the First World War. But don't forget, The back of Han Xianchu's fame in the first battle was Chen Yunxiao Jinguang's strong support for him. If the superior chief did not support him, It would be difficult for Han Xianchu, a thousand-mile horse, to stand out.
Of course, Han Xianchu knew this. He was grateful to Chen Yunxiao Jinguang for his support and trust in him. In 1947, Han Xianchu was promoted to commander of the Third Column. This was the decision of the Headquarters of the Northeast Field Army, and there should also be Chen Yun's recommendation.
The commander of the Tangtang Fuzhou Military Region personally accompanied Chen Yun to the hospital for physical examination
The grace of knowing the encounter, toothless unforgettable.
(Admiral Han Xianchu)
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Han Xianchu also participated in the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After returning from North Korea, as long as he went to Beijing, Han Xianchu often visited Chen Yun. Once, Han Xianchu lived in Beijing for more than a year, and he had to visit Chen Yun's house almost once a month.
In that special era, Chen Yun suffered setbacks and went to Nanchang Qingyunpu to work. Jiangxi Province is also under the jurisdiction of the Fuzhou Military Region. At that time, Han Xianchu was the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region. After he received the news, he immediately sent someone to take charge of Chen Yun's life and safety guard work.
Then, Han Xianchu quickly rushed over to see Chen Yun in person. Soon, Han Xianchu sent a special train to take Chen Yun to Fuzhou and personally accompanied Chen Yun to the hospital to examine his body and arrange treatment. Chen Yun was not accustomed to drinking Qingyun Spectrum's water and was a little allergic. Han Xianchu then ordered someone to find some barrels and cans filled with water for Chen Yun to send back. This made Chen Yun very grateful.
Chen Yun said to Han Xianchu, you will not die, Han Xianchu said, I decided not to do surgery
Han Xianchu fought all his life, and in his later years his health was very bad, and he had many diseases. He suffered from gastrointestinal problems for many years. In 1974, he got a kidney stone, and Wu Jieping personally operated on him and successfully removed the stone. In 1980, hepatitis was diagnosed, which later developed into cirrhosis and eventually liver cancer.
(Chen Yun and Han Xianchu)
A generation of famous generals Han Xianchu, known as the whirlwind commander on the battlefield, fought the enemy powerlessly. Unfortunately, in the last years of his life, he was plagued by illness. In the process of fighting the disease, Han Xianchu underwent many surgeries and finally did not survive.
Chen Yun was very concerned about this old subordinate, and when Han Xianchu was treating his illness in Xishan, Beijing, Chen Yun went to see him and said to him,
You're not going to die, you can't die.
Chen Yun also wrote a poem by Li Bai, "From the Army" to Han Xianchu,
The battlefield of a hundred battles was shattered, and the south of the city had been encircled. The raid camp shot and killed General Hu Yan and led the remnants of the army to return on horseback.
Li Bai wrote the story of a famous Tang Dynasty general who fought against the Xiongnu. The lone hero, surrounded by the enemy, but killed the siege and retreated with his whole body. Han Xianchu deserved this poem. In the northeast battlefield of that year, Han Xianchu repeatedly created the miracle of war under the situation of the enemy and the enemy.
Chen Yun also wrote a poem from Lu Xun to Han Xianchu,
Horizontal eyebrows cold to the thousand fingers, bowing down to the cow.
This is a high praise for Han Xianchu's character in life. In his lifetime, Han Xianchu dared to uphold the truth and was not afraid of power, but he had a pure heart for the common people.

When Han Xianchu was critically ill, on October 1, 1986, Chen Yun came to the hospital to see him and shed tears. They all know that this is the final farewell, a farewell to life and death. At that time, Chen Yun was 81 years old and in poor health, but he insisted on going to the hospital to see Han Xianchu for the last time. He couldn't help but go.
Seeing that the old chief had come, Han Xianchu was also in tears, he had a lot to say, but he couldn't say too much anymore. Holding the old chief's hand, Han Xianchu said,
I wasn't so good, I vomited blood and blacked out, I decided not to have surgery, someone in my 70s.
This was Han Xianchu's last words to Chen Yun. He knew that death was approaching, and he was going to report to Marx. Everyone is a materialist. There was nothing to fear, he was calm at heart and ready to die. In the early morning of October 3, a generation of famous generals Han Xianchu passed away.
