"Victory or defeat is a common affair of soldiers", no one is invincible, this is the truth played on the battlefield.
However, in China's modern history, there is really a founding general who has never been defeated, and countless people have great admiration for him, even when General Xu Shiyou, who once forcefully recovered xisha, was asked "who is the person he most admired", his answer was always this general.
When New China was just founded, this general was personally promoted to general by Chairman Mao, and people who did not know him would question why he was so young that he could be appreciated by Chairman Mao. Many people are very puzzled, after all, the promotion of military ranks depends on the accumulation of achievements little by little. How could he, who was still in a junior highly qualified, have the merits to match the rank of general?
Under the questioning of General Xu Shiyou, he only uttered four words: "There is courage and strategy."
Can he gain Chairman Mao's favor with courage and strategy? Can the three marshals look at him with courage and strategy? Can you be called one of the two hegemons of the Chinese army alongside General Xu Shiyou by the army at a young age?
It is true that others are impossible, but Han Xianchu must be possible.
Although the young man is young, Ling Yunzhi already has it.
Han Xianchu was born in 1913. Like that era of poverty, weakness and backwardness, he did not have a subsistence life. Eager to go to school, his family's poverty made him have to drop out of school early to help his parents support their families.
Other people's cattleherds follow the rules every day, and the days are at a glance. Han Xianchu didn't want to live such a life, what he wanted was for his family to eat and wear, and he could return to the academy of his dreams again.
In order to realize this dream, Han Xianchu began to work in various places early, worked as a smith, and worked as a short-term worker. The cruelty of reality and the exploitation of the landlords made the teenager breathless.
At the age of fourteen, the Jute Uprising broke out. In the activities of the uprising, Han Xianchu seemed to see the future of the country. He no longer only saw the life in front of him, no longer just thought that his life was going to be better, and began to think about the future of this country, the people of this country.
Later, Han Xianchu joined the peasant associations and helped the peasants resist the oppression of the landlords; he joined the anti-imperialist grand alliance against imperialist aggression and persecution; and even at that time, Han Xianchu had already come into contact with the dawn of China and participated in the Soviet Land Committee.
Han Xianchu practiced his ideal step by step.
The "Ling Yunzhi" of the young man is always full of strength, and this collection of forces is also the driving force for the weak country to persevere.
Young people are strong and have a resounding record
Xu's life as a child was too cruel, and Han Xianchu, who was eager to change, always fought for the motherland with a belief in life and death after becoming a formal member of the Chinese Communist Party.
In the eyes of others, Han Xianchu existed like a "fool". On the battlefield, Han Xianchu never flinched, and he could always be seen becoming the first person to charge at the moment when the charge horn sounded.
At the beginning, Han Xianchu was mainly responsible for the logistics part of the army, delivering grain and grass and weapons to the front-line troops, although he did not directly participate in the battle, but he was honored. In his later interviews, he also mentioned that he had served as a soldier in the second-line troops.
The second-line troops were not all safe, and the insecurity of that time was becoming a new starting point for Han Xianchu's life.
Han Xianchu was carrying supplies with his comrades as usual, but on the way he suddenly encountered a group of enemy troops. The team that had not been exposed to the real battlefield was suddenly a little flustered, how could this be good. Han Xianchu said softly at this time, "Don't panic, everyone, calm down." The other warriors gradually calmed down under Han Xianchu's infection.
In order to avoid casualties, they decided to raid from behind the enemy. The unprepared enemy army surrendered in an instant in the face of the momentum of Han Xianchu and others. Without a single soldier, Han Xianchu and his comrades took the enemy army. Such a legendary story spread throughout the army. As a military commander, Wu Huanxian saw that Han Xianchu was a good seedling to become a soldier, so he transferred him to a promotion, and Han Xianchu became a platoon leader.
The achievements of the battle accumulated more and more, from a small soldier to the famous battalion commander of the independent battalion of the 25th Army of the Red Army. Others thought that Han Xianchu had arrived here, but they didn't know that this was his beginning.
After Han Xianchu became the battalion commander, he led the army to fight many victorious battles and was promoted to division commander. But what really made Commander Peng Dehuai notice him was the successful operation of "defying military orders".
On May 18, 1936, Peng Dehuai was ordered to lead the Red First Army and the Red 15th Army to begin the western expedition and the Long March began. In order to ensure the safety of the large troops, Peng Dehuai ordered Han Xianchu's troops to march directly to the north road. When the troops reached the Dingbian Pass, they were keenly aware that there should be a whole cavalry company of the Kuomintang in the city. However, there was a gap between Han Xianchu's troops and the strength of a whole cavalry company, and besides, this was still on the way to the Long March, in case of failure, it would have a very adverse impact on the entire plan, and Commander Peng's idea was not to attack and take a detour.
But Han Xianchu did not do it, and after seriously analyzing the situation, he still decided to use the cloud ladder to attack strongly, and also forwarded this strategy to Commander Peng. In the end, the outcome of the war did not disappoint Han Xianchu, and he recovered the city with very small losses.
After this thrilling war, Commander Peng had a better understanding of Han Xianchu, and did not even have the punishment of disobeying the military order, on the contrary, Commander Peng also smiled and said: "Han Xianchu has courage and strategy, and he has done a good job!" ”
After that, Han Xianchu's courage and strategy gradually spread, such a war was fought more and more, but the army's battle record was not a single defeat, people gave his army a name "whirlwind", and everywhere he went, there must be no armor left, vividly expressing the admiration of soldiers for Han Xianchu and his army.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in order to realize the reunification of the mainland, the People's Liberation Army continued to attack the north and stuck to the Kuomintang army in the northeast region, and General Lin Biao put forward the operational idea of "fighting hard.", literally, that is, fighting equipment and manpower.
At this time, Han Xianchu was facing the well-equipped Kuomintang 184th Division, which was a somewhat suspenseful war in General Lin Biao's view. Han Xianchu quickly occupied the Meihekou with a flexible and fierce offensive, and the entire armed army of the Kuomintang failed to fill Han Xianchu's resume with a single defeat.
When the good news reached General Lin Biao,it still felt incredible.
In middle age, he was old and spicy, and used soldiers like divine help
After the founding of New China, the motherland was still not reunified. In March 1950, Han Xianchu and Marshal Ye Jianying were ordered to jointly command the campaign to liberate Hainan Island. Throughout previous wars, most of the Communist forces fought inland, had little experience in coastal warfare, and faced the sea, the two commanders were also dazed.
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of his natural geographical advantages — Zhoushan, Hainan, and Kinmen as barriers , with 100,000 troops as defenses — and it was a very difficult battle for anyone to watch.
At this time, Han Xianchu was still thinking about the solution, blind assault was certainly not enough, so he issued an order to the soldiers: "Go to some fishermen who are fishing to understand the situation", while he continued to study the similar Battle of Normandy.
The kung fu paid off, Han Xianchu's decision made the whole battle end very smoothly, and Marshal Ye Jianying also saw Han Xianchu's use of troops like a god in this battle, and could not help but praise: "Old Han dares to fight, dares to charge, is a good general!" ”
Seven months later, Han Xianchu was ordered by Chairman Mao to go to the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. No matter how big the gap between our army and the US army is materially, Han Xianchu always relied on his rich combat experience and control of the scene to make the most correct choice and win victories one after another. Especially in the second campaign, Han Xianchu used his troops like gods, and even beat the US army very angry, defeated and retreated, and even threatened to use nuclear weapons against us. Han Xianchu smiled dismissively and only said, "We must fight a good battle and teach them a lesson!" ”
Han Xianchu had such confidence not only because of his own bravery, but also because his back was protected by Commander Peng. With such a powerful military commander protecting himself, Han Xianchu's heart was full of gratitude. Militarily, it is also more like a sharp blade out of the sheath, a blow, to take Seoul. The war situation of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was reversed in an instant.
The Battle of Seoul, which turned the tide around, caught the American troops by surprise, and the sophisticated equipment could not be used, and the rout was uncontrollable.
In old age, loving and loving
The war finally subsided, and Han Xianchu, the "whirlwind general" who returned from a triumphant victory, was transferred to Fujian to take up a post. At nearly sixty years old, he was still a little worried on the eve of his transfer, because Han Xianchu himself was good at fighting, was very unfamiliar with the civilian side, and was afraid that he would not do a good job and betray the trust of the people. The comrades-in-arms even ridiculed him: "How to go to Fujian to take up a post and make the god of war become cautious?" ”
When the god of war carefully arrived in Fujian and saw the life of the Fujian people, Han Xianchu couldn't help but shed tears, how can we let the Fujian people live a good life? This is the question he thinks about the most in Fujian.
The answer to the question has also been seen in the small days when the people of Fujian are getting better and better, and it is not in vain that Han Xianchu has visited and investigated the people of Fujian for a long time.
In 1986, General Han Xianchu died of illness in Beijing at the age of 74.
Looking at Han Xianchu's life, it can be found that Chairman Mao's favor for him, Peng Dehuai, Lin Biao and Ye Jianying's appreciation of him is all because of Han Xianchu's own outstanding skills, if it were not for his courage and strategy, perhaps Han Xianchu was only a grain of dust in history, but he who could be seen by the world must not be an ordinary person, ling Yunzhi when he was young, was still realized in his old age, standing for 23 years without falling, and the "whirlwind general" will forever remain in history, attracting countless posterity to remember.
