The Fourth Field Army during the Liberation War was a unit led by the outstanding military commander Lin Zong. Because Commander Lin was always a general of our party in the revolutionary war years, the comprehensive combat ability was relatively strong. Therefore, under his command, the Fourth Field Army also made many achievements in the liberation battlefield, becoming the strongest unit of the four field armies during the Liberation War. From the northeast of the motherland all the way south, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, driving the enemy troops out of the mainland and fleeing to Hainan Island. Along the way, north China, central China, south China and other regions were liberated successively, and great contributions were made to the victory of the liberation war.
As the commander, Lin Zong was naturally the first person of the Fourth Field Army, who had the greatest merit and the best record. However, in the Fourth Field Army, which was full of famous generals, in addition to the commander Lin Zong, there were also many generals who could fight well. For example, Liu Yalou, the first commander of China's Air Force, was from the Fourth Field Army, and Xiao Jinguang, China's first naval commander, was also from the Fourth Field Army. There were also the first commanders of major military regions, such as Deng Hua of the Shenyang Military Region and Huang Yongsheng of the Guangzhou Military Region, all of whom were famous generals of the Four Wilds.
In addition to the above famous generals, the Fourth Field Army also went out with a general with a very distinct personality. Perhaps this general is not the first person in the Fourth Field Army, but he is definitely the most personality and distinctive general of the Fourth Field Army, and at the same time, he has created three firsts in his military career.
Such a legendary general is the well-known general Han Xianchu
General Han Xianchu can be said to be the most individual general of the Fourth Field Army, and as long as he is sure of everything, he must carry it out, even if he disobeys the orders of his superiors, he must carry it out to the end. For example, in the Battle of Xinkailing on the northeast battlefield, the fourth column was ordered to block the ace of the Nationalist army in the Xinkailing area. After a fierce battle between the two sides, the fourth column was never able to make a breakthrough on the battlefield, and the enemy reinforcements were coming. The commander of the Fourth Column suggested retreating, but Han Xianchu, as his deputy, insisted on fighting the battle. He said, "If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw, I will not withdraw, I will not destroy this enemy, and I will not give up."
It was at the insistence of General Han Xianchu and the courageous killing of the enemy by all the officers and men of the Fourth Column that they finally broke through the enemy's position, won the victory in the Battle of Xinkailing, and created a record of annihilating the enemy's ace in the northeast battlefield for the first time, which greatly boosted the morale of our army. If it were not for the insistence of General Han Xianchu, I am afraid that there would be no victory in the Battle of Xinkailing.
In his future military career, General Han Xianchu has always adhered to such a personality and a keen sense on the battlefield, as long as he is accurate, the battle to be fought, generally speaking, can be won. Because of this, he was able to shine on the northeast battlefield, and even received praise from the famous generals of the Nationalist army, Du Yuming, Wei Lihuang, Liao Yaoxiang and others, saying that the troops led by Han Xianchu were like a whirlwind. This is also the origin of The Commander of Han Xianchu's whirlwind, looking at the famous generals of the Fourth Field Army, the only general who can get the praise of the enemy generals is Han Xianchu. At the same time, this is also the first first he created, which was praised by the famous generals of the national army.
The second first was in the campaign to liberate Hainan Island, where he was as sensitive to naval warfare as land warfare. Presumably, everyone knows that Deng Hua, the commander-in-chief of the liberation of Hainan Island, postponed the general attack on the liberation of Hainan Island. Only Han Xianchu single-handedly supported him, advanced the time of the general attack to liberate Hainan Island, and crossed the level to report to Grandpa Mao who was visiting the Soviet Union. After Grandpa Mao saw Han Xianchu's report and the battle plan, he immediately agreed to Han Xianchu's plan. In order to boost morale, Han Xianchu, as a military commander, personally came to the front line and led the 40th Army to drive a wooden sailing ship to attack Hainan Island. It cooperated with the Qiongya column on the island to break through the land, sea and air defense line established by Xue Yue and completely liberated Hainan Island.
The liberation of Hainan Island also became the first naval battle in Han Xianchu's military career, the first naval battle in which our army ended in victory, and the first general of the Fourth Field Army to succeed in naval warfare. Therefore, the liberation of Hainan Island also became the second first created by General Han Xianchu.
The third first, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the commander of the Grand Military Region for 23 years. It should be known that there are many famous generals in the Fourth Field Army, all of whom served as commanders of military regions after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the only one who has worked in this position for the longest time is Han Xianchu. Therefore, General Han Xianchu, who served as the commander of the Grand Military Region for 23 years, also became the first person in the Fourth Field Army.
