History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
General Xu Shiyou was famous for his bravery in battle, and few people could match him. But in that glorious history of our party, there is also a founding general who is equally famous as Xu Shiyou, and he is General Han Xianchu. Xu Shiyou was once asked who he admired the most, and he said that he admired Han Xianchu the most. General Han Xianchu was not only brave and strategic, but more legendary was that he had participated in countless wars of all sizes and failed once in his lifetime, which was a very remarkable thing.
When Han Xianchu was a teenager, he led a group of friends in the village to join the army to serve the motherland, and as soon as Han Xianchu entered the team, he let him serve as the deputy squad leader, which frightened him, and he would not be a good squad leader, but the leader said to him: Just by virtue of the fact that you can bring more than a dozen people to join the army, it means that you have a certain leadership ability. It turns out that the leader's vision is correct. In a later battle, the guerrilla group was scattered in a very short period of time because it had just been formed and had no combat experience, at this time the captain lost his command ability in a panic, followed the team members and ran backwards, or Han Xianchu did not see it right, stood up and shouted that he could not run, who ran and killed whom. The guerrillas reacted quickly, reorganized their fire, and repelled the enemy.
Han Xianchu was full of guts, and even the god of death seemed to be afraid of him, and during a battle in northern Shaanxi, he was hit in the head by a bullet and almost died. During the Long March, a grenade thrown by the enemy fell into Han Xianchu's clothes, and he listened to the fuse already burning, he did not struggle quietly waiting for death, but fortunately a dud bullet, so he picked up another life.
Although his fighting style was bold and radical, and he did not want to die in battle, he was not the kind of person who had courage and strategy, on the contrary, he was very scheming, in the Battle of Weiyuan Fort in the Liberation War, he proposed a long-distance attack to raid the main force of the enemy, and finally the headquarters decided to adopt Han Xianchu's strategy, and finally annihilated all the enemy's 116th Division, and achieved a great victory, which is enough to see that such Han Xianchu is indeed a rare military wizard.
The founding general, who had never been defeated in his life, and Xu Shiyou, was called the two hegemons in the army, and became a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission at the age of 70. Later, a writer wanted to write a biography of him, and after studying him, he found that he fought countless battles in his life, but he never lost, which was amazing!
Although he was known as Han Bold in combat, he was a very delicate person in life, and when he was ordered to go to the northeast to carry out a mission during the liberation period, Chen Yun proposed to provide them with equipment, but Han Xianchu gave up his weapons to win a cotton coat for the soldiers, and such a general who always cared about the soldiers was bound to be loved by the soldiers.
And when he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, he saw that the villagers were living very hard, and the clothes they wore were all tattered, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so he used his own money to buy some new clothes for the villagers, so that they could be happy for the New Year. At the age of 70, he took up the position of a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission and continued to contribute to the country.
