After the "918" incident, Japan began to invade northeast China and looked at north China. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek did not think of confronting foreign invaders, but continued to launch attacks against the Communist Party of China, and even after the establishment of the "Anti-Japanese National United Front", Chiang Kai-shek often made small moves behind his back and provoked incidents against the Communist Party on many occasions. For example, Chiang Kai-shek had a "rice bucket general" under him, Han Deloitte, who was defeated by the Japanese army every time, and always took advantage of the new Fourth Army to fight with the Japanese army to "trick the ghost" behind his back, but general Chen Yi let him go after capturing Han Deloitte.
Born in Jiangxi in 1892, Han Deloitte entered the Army Primary School from an early age and then entered the Military Academy when he grew up. However, at the military academy, Han Deloitte did not learn any real skills in marching and fighting, but he met his nobleman, Gu Zhutong, the first general of the Kuomintang Army, and the two of them saw each other as they were, and they also worshipped the handle.
After coming out of the military academy, Han Deshun joined the Beiyang Army, and later came to the Sichuan Army several times, where he also served as the deputy commander of the First Regiment. After that, Han Deloitte returned to his hometown for a period of recuperation due to injury. On the other hand, Gu Zhutong, because of his heroic performance on the battlefield and his help to Chiang Kai-shek to prepare for the construction of the Whampoa Military Academy, Gu Zhutong's position rose all the way up, and by 1926, he had become the deputy division commander.
When he learned of the current situation of his brother Han Deloitte, Gu Zhutong immediately wrote to him and invited Han Deloitte to join his camp. At first, Han Deloitte did not want to continue to join the army, but could not resist Gu Zhutong's invitation, coupled with the advice of his friends, Han Deloitte decided to go to Guangzhou to find Gu Zhutong. Seeing Han Deloitte come to join him, Gu Zhutong was very happy and immediately arranged an official position for him.
However, if you want to talk about luck, Han Deloitte can be regarded as a "lucky person", if you really talk about marching and fighting, Han Deloitte has hardly fought a few victories, and it is precisely because of this that Han Deloitte has been ridiculed by posterity as a "rice bucket general". With Gu Zhutong's help, Han Deloitte was on a steady footing, and within a few years he became a division commander. Because Chiang Kai-shek was a man with strong bureaucratic ideas, his cronies around him all held important positions, and Gu Zhutong was even more a "big red man" around Chiang Kai-shek, it is not difficult to understand why Han Deqin was able to rise so quickly.
During Chiang Kai-shek's third "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army, the Kuomintang troops began to retreat because they failed to achieve the set goals, but Han Deqin chose a narrow mountain road to retreat when retreating. As a result, he did not go far into the encirclement of the Red Army, Han Deloitte did not know how to be good, and finally his unit was quickly defeated by the Red Army, and he was also captured by the Red Army. But considering that Han Deloitte was a senior general, he was let go again.
Even so, Han Deqin did not receive any punishment, but under the care of Gu Zhutong, his official position rose faster and faster, and by 1938 he had become the chairman and commander of Jiangsu Province.
On the anti-Japanese battlefield, Han Deqin was repeatedly defeated, and even when his army was five times larger than the Japanese army, he could not win. Han Deloitte himself also knew that such a record not only embarrassed himself, but also made Gu Zhutong, who had been promoting himself, know that he also had no face. Thinking of this, Han Deloitte suddenly thought of a good way, since it could not defeat Japan, it was better to turn the gun to deal with the Communist army.
At that time, Han Deloitte and Chen Yi's New Fourth Army were fighting against the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu. Han Deloitte took the lead in fighting the Japanese army, and the result is conceivable that Han Deloitte's army was defeated. Later, in the name of jointly resisting the Japanese invaders, he also led his troops to the garrison where the New Fourth Army was located, and asked the New Fourth Army for a large amount of military supplies.
When General Chen Yi saw Han Deqin's rout, he knew that the Japanese army would definitely focus on dealing with the New Fourth Army and painstakingly prepare for the battle with the Japanese army. Not long after the New Fourth Army and the Japanese army began, Han Deloitte took the opportunity to occupy several bases of the New Fourth Army. The New Fourth Army was extremely angry when they learned of this, but considering the anti-Japanese situation, they did not go directly to Han Deloitte to settle the account.
After some engagement with the Japanese, both sides suffered heavy losses and began to withdraw to the rear, trying to gain a chance to breathe. At this time, General Chen Yi decided to go to Han Deloitte to "settle the account". Han Deqin was also complacent because he had put the New Fourth Army together, thinking that the New Fourth Army was busy fighting the Japanese army and had not even set up basic defensive facilities in the garrison. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, Han Deloitte found himself surrounded by the New Fourth Army Regiment.
After capturing Han Deqin, General Chen Yi received orders from his superiors to properly deal with this person, and General Chen Yi did not dare to be careless, so he met with Han Deqin privately and skillfully handled the matter.
General Chen Yi was both soft and hard, and also signed a secret agreement with Han Deloitte, not only releasing Han Deloitte, but also giving him a lot of benefits, and Han Deloitte only needed to promise not to fight against the New Fourth Army. Knowing that this was the result, Han Deloitte, who thought he was doomed, was overjoyed and quickly confessed his mistake to the New Fourth Army, and the New Fourth Army has never fought against it again.
