After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began to cooperate in the war against Japan, and the Red Army and guerrilla units in the eight southern provinces were reorganized into the newly organized Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with a total of 4 detachments and more than 10,000 people. Subsequently, the New Fourth Army rushed to the anti-Japanese front and fought against the Japanese puppet army. However, just as the New Fourth Army and the Japanese were fighting each other, Han Deqin, then deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, did the things that his relatives hated and hated, and repeatedly sent troops to launch attacks on our anti-Japanese base areas. In the end, our army could not bear it, launched a counterattack, and became a small battalion commander in the First World War.
Han Deloitte is a native of Siyang, Jiangsu Province, graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School, and during his studies at the military academy, he became acquainted with Gu Zhutong, the "nobleman" of his life, and married Jinlan. After graduating from the military academy, Han Deqin first served in the Beiyang Army, then entered the Sichuan Army, and it took 7 years to become a deputy regimental commander. In 1925, Han Wasjen was wounded in a battle and was sent back to his hometown to recuperate. Han Deloitte, who felt that his future was uncertain, learned that his brother Gu Zhutong had become a division commander under Lao Jiang, so he set out to surrender.
After Han Deloitte arrived in Guangzhou, Gu Zhutong took great care of him and continued to carry it, and Han Deloitte soared. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Han Deqin first served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 24th Group Army of the Nationalist Army, and soon after became the chairman of Jiangsu Province and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater. At this time, Han Deloitte became a large member of the party, holding more than 100,000 heavy troops, which was very beautiful. However, on the anti-Japanese battlefield, Han Deloitte's performance was very poor. From the spring of 1938 to May of that year, under the attack of the Japanese 101st Division, Han Deloitte lost Nantong, Rugao, Hai'an, Yancheng, Xinxing and Funing, and was defeated again and again.
Old Jiang was very dissatisfied with Han Deloitte's performance, and personally went to the telegram to ask: "The enemy of Cha Funing is less than three thousand, and it is like driving thousands of miles into no man's land, and there is a tendency to peek into the East China Sea to block the Longhai Road." How could the deputy commander-in-chief have more than ten times better troops than the enemy, and if the division is lost, affecting the safety of the main force's flanks and backs, how will it be self-explanatory? Under the repeated rebuke of old Chiang, Han Deqin had to fight a few battles with the Japanese army, but soon after he returned to his old ways.
At the beginning of 1939, the Japanese army launched an attack on Han Deloitte with the strength of 5 brigades, and the Han army fled almost without a fight, losing Siyang, Huaiyin, Baoying, Lianshui and Huai'an, and almost all of northern Jiangsu fell. At the same time that Han Deloitte was defeated in successive battles, the New Fourth Army continued to advance toward northern Jiangsu, successively capturing the Japanese puppet army strongholds such as Gushan, Jijia City, and Xilai Town in the northeast of the Jingjiang River, and establishing an anti-Japanese base area centered on Huangqiao. However, at this time, Han Deloitte, who had fled all the way under the Japanese attack, suddenly became "tough" on the New Fourth Army, and arbitrarily demanded that our army withdraw from the Yellow Bridge, claiming that these "lost lands" should be taken over by himself.
After being refused by our army, Han Deloitte unexpectedly dispatched more than 35,000 people to launch an attack on our army, and as a result, he was defeated in the decisive battle of Huangqiao, and his 89th Army was almost completely annihilated by our army. It is said that after this lesson, Han Deloitte should have woken up to the fact that he was right, but unexpectedly he went farther and farther down the road of hostility with our army, and finally became an accomplice of the Japanese Kou. In July 1941, the Japanese puppet army of 17,000 people carried out a major sweep of the Yancheng area, and the New Fourth Army rose up to resist. When the two sides were engaged in fierce fighting, Han Deloitte suddenly sent troops to launch a sneak attack on the New Fourth Army from behind, and our army was attacked by the enemy in the abdomen and back, and only after the bitter battle did it break through the siege.
In mid-March 1943, the Japanese Kou dispatched heavy troops to "sweep" the anti-Japanese base areas of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu. Han Deloitte believed that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and personally led more than 4,000 people to attack Qingyang Town, the central area of our Huaibei Anti-Japanese Base Area. Our army was forced to launch the Battle of Shanzitou, and after a fierce battle, the Han forces were annihilated, and Han Deloitte himself was captured. In consideration of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, our army did not embarrass Han Deloitte, and General Manager Chen personally invited him to dinner. After the seat, the New Fourth Army returned more than 400 people, more than 300 guns and a radio station to Han Deloitte, and set aside a township in Huaibei for him to garrison. Han Deloitte never imagined that his own grand deputy commander-in-chief would actually become a small battalion commander after the First World War. In 1988, Han died of illness in Taipei at the age of 96.
