Before the Huaihai Campaign, the Kuomintang army established the "Xuzhou Suppression General", and at that time Xue Yue was eating at home and asked his nephew who was the commander-in-chief of the "Xuzhou Suppression General"? The nephew said that it was Liu Zhi, and Xue Yue sighed and said, "It's over, half of the country will be gone." Xue Yue asked who the deputy commander-in-chief was, and his nephew said a name: Han Deqin, Xue Yue listened, directly dropped the chopsticks, and said: "Old Jiang is digging his own grave!" ”
There is a principle in Chiang Kai-shek's employment of people, "It is better not to fight a war than to be disobedient." Xue Yue once commented on Chiang Kai-shek's use of personnel, saying: "It is better to use slaves than talents!" So much so that people like Liu Zhi, Chen Cheng, and others often lost battles, but they still held high positions. It is really strange that there is even a general who has been captured twice by our army and has lost countless battles for more than twenty years, and has actually risen all the way, and this person is Han Deloitte, a Kuomintang general with little fame but a very high official position, who often serves in key departments.
Comparing Liu Zhi with Han Deloitte, it may be a little inappropriate to use fifty steps to laugh and take a hundred steps, but one thing can be confirmed, Han Deloitte has no great talent, nor does he have a great strategy, which is even more chicken rib than chicken ribs. Han Deqin is not very famous, but his uncle is very famous. His uncle Han Hui led troops to rescue Chen Jiongming in time when he rebelled, and the credit is beyond words, but then the 35-year-old Han Hui was killed by Qi Xieyuan, which made Dr. Sun Yat-sen grief-stricken, and finally posthumously awarded him a general. It can be said that the reason why Han Deloitte has a high career is that his uncle Han Hui sprinkled all the afterglow on his head.
As the commander-in-chief of the Huaihai Campaign, Liu Zhi thanked Dai De and said: "If you want me to be an official, you can't obey orders; if you want me to work hard, you can't resign!" As a result, under the undue command of him and Han Deqin, all 550,000 troops who participated in the Huaihai Campaign were annihilated, and many of Chiang Kai-shek's Huangpu generals were either killed or captured.
