Today's beautiful life is bought by the sacrifices of countless martyrs, from the founding of the Communist Party of China on July 23, 1921 to the founding of New China on October 1, 1949, 28 years of revolutionary career, many outstanding revolutionaries have stood out from it and become senior generals of the republic.
In 1955, the whole army was awarded a large number of titles, and more than a thousand senior generals participated in the awarding ceremony at Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, which was an important step in realizing the regularization of the army. Among the more than a thousand senior generals in Huai Ren Tang, many of them were beloved generals cultivated by the chairman, and their ability to achieve such a high level of achievement was inseparable from the chairman's cultivation and trust.
There are many love generals of the chairman, and there are two more special ones, they are Han Xianchu and Pi Dingjun. Han Xianchu and Pi Dingjun had many things in common, having served as commanders of the Great Military Region and were specially promoted and valued by the chairman.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the chairman gave the two generals a promotion </h1>
In 1955, when the whole army conferred the title, when Luo Shuai handed over the list of appraisal titles to the chairman for review, the chairman deliberately gave instructions: "Pi has meritorious service, less promotion to the middle", according to comprehensive qualifications, Pi Ding, who was originally only awarded major general, was promoted to lieutenant general under the instructions of the chairman. Han Xianchu's situation was similar to that of Pi Dingjun, and it was rumored that Han Xianchu had originally been awarded lieutenant general, but under the instructions of the chairman, he was awarded the title of general.
The chairman has always strictly demanded his subordinates, so why did he make an exception to promote the ranks of two generals, Pi Dingjun and Han Xianchu? The main reason is that both generals have special military achievements. Special military merits were treated specially, and both Han Xianchu and Pi Ding received special "care" from the chairman.
At the beginning of the Liberation War, Lao Jiang sent hundreds of thousands of elite troops to attack the Central Plains, and the enemy moved quickly, encircling the Central Plains Military Region with 50,000 people. After Li Xiannian, commander of the Central Plains Military Region, reported to the central authorities, he decided to carry out a breakthrough in order to preserve his living forces. Pi Dingjun was the brigade commander of the first brigade, and the military district decided to leave him behind and cover the breakthrough of the main force.
According to the breakthrough plan, Pi Dingjun's first brigade broke through to the east in the opposite direction of the main force, to put it bluntly, to attract enemy fire, sacrifice themselves, and complete the main force. Pi Dingjun knew what this meant, but he had no hesitation and took on the arduous task of assuring the military district that even if the first brigade was the last man left, it would attract the enemy's main force.
From here, it can be seen that Pi Dingdu has a spirit of self-sacrifice, and can give up his small family for everyone, and the soldiers of the First Brigade are very brave and have a very high party spirit, which is very rare. What is even more rare is that in the breakthrough of the Central Plains, Pi Dingjun, who covered the main force of the breakthrough, circumnavigated with the enemy, not only attracted the enemy's main force, but also successfully broke through the heavy encirclement, retaining the complete structure of the troops, and the number of casualties was not large.
After a tempering exercise, Pi Dingjun's first brigade became a strong main force and made great contributions to the later liberation war. The chairman remembered Pi Dingjun's special merits and felt that it was too low to award him major generals, and that those who had meritorious service should be promoted out of the ordinary, which was a way to motivate the generals of the whole army.
The chairman gave Han Xianchu a military rank, and the statement "Han Yougong, Zhongjin Shang" is only a popular saying at present, and whether there are relevant records of historical facts cannot be found for the time being. Like Pi Dingjun, Han Xianchu was also a general with special military achievements, liberating Hainan Island, and Han Xianchu was the first to do so.
Hainan Island has a special geographical location and is the second largest island in China after Taiwan Island. In October 1949, our army lost the Battle of Kinmen Island, the morale of the whole army was affected to a certain extent, and the lack of corresponding conditions for landing on the island was one of the main reasons for the defeat of this campaign.
With the lessons of the past, the top brass of our army in liberating Hainan Island was cautious and cautious, and strived to make steady preparations before landing on the island. Han Xianchu felt that the liberation of Hainan Island must be fought quickly and quickly, and that the delay in time may change, and that the international situation is unclear, so he made use of the existing conditions to overcome difficulties and strive to liberate Hainan Island as soon as possible.
In order to persuade his superiors, Han Xianchu learned that Deng Hua and other front-line senior officials were cautious, and decided to report it beyond their ranks, and the telegram was sent directly to the Central Military Commission, explaining the reasons for liberating Hainan Island as soon as possible. After reading Han Xianchu's telegram, the chairman and the Central Military Commission felt that it was very reasonable and agreed to his request.
At that time, the liberation of the whole country was imminent, and new China had been established, and many soldiers felt that there was no need to sacrifice and shed blood, so they were not very willing to be the vanguard of the troops landing on the island. Han Xianchu was an "adventurist", as one of the main commanders of the liberation of Hainan Island, he personally went to the front, drove a wooden boat, and under the fierce artillery fire of the enemy, led the leading troops to seize the beachhead position, inspiring the soldiers to strive forward.
Han Xianchu did not care about life and death, and bravely went forward, such courage is really admirable. Before landing on the island, Han Xianchu could not swim, he was a "dry duck", but for the victory of the revolution, he knew that someone must shed blood and sacrifice in order to exchange for a good day of peace for tomorrow.
The liberation of Hainan Island was only a shining point in Han Xianchu's military career; he had never been defeated in his life; he fought from the northeast to Hainan and experienced countless dangers; the enemy called him "General Whirlwind," and he was a well-deserved victorious general of our army. Generally speaking, no matter whether the chairman said the six words "Han Yougong and Zhongjin Shang" in history, han Xianchu was truly deserved just by liberating Hainan Island.

In terms of age, Pi Ding, born in 1914, was one year younger than Han Xianchu. During the Red Army period, Pi Dingjun served in the Red Fourth Front, and Han Xianchu served in the Red 25th Army. It is worth mentioning that the two generals were both revolutionary generals who came out of the Dabie Mountains and from the Eyu-Anhui Soviet Region, who had undergone many tests and were loyal to the party and the leader.
Like Han Xianchu, Pi Dingjun also had a "spirit of adventure", they all dared to sacrifice themselves for victory, and sacrificed the revolutionary spirit of the small family for everyone. In terms of military command talent, both generals were outstanding, and Han Xianchu was slightly superior.
After the founding of New China, both Han Xianchu and Pi Ding served as commanders of the large military regions, and both served in the two major military regions of Fuzhou and Lanzhou. The two major military regions of Fuzhou and Lanzhou are geographically important and require generals who can recruit good warriors to sit in the seats. On the Lanzhou side, it is necessary to guard against the former Soviet Union in the north and fuzhou, and it is necessary to guard against the counterattack of Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan, and the pressure and responsibility are not small, and the chairman can hand over these two major military regions to Han Xianchu and Pi Ding to sit in, and the trust in them is naturally not low.
Both Han Xianchu and Pi Ding did not live up to the expectations of their superiors, scrupulously fulfilled their duties during their term of office, and devoted themselves to defending the security of the frontier. Both generals are the pillars of the country and the president's favorite generals.
