The road of life is long, full of thorns and ups and downs. No one knows what he will encounter on the road ahead. But brave people are fearless of potential dangers and will only bravely rush forward, overcome obstacles and open up a path to victory.
Our beloved great man also experienced hardships during the revolutionary years, and his political status was once suppressed. However, he was never discouraged and kept fighting for the goal in his heart, eventually leading the Chinese Red Revolution to the final victory. The man I am going to talk about today also fought side by side with great men, and also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Autumn Harvest Uprising. With such a high starting point, why did he disappear into silence after liberation, and was even imprisoned for nearly 15 years? ?
can only say that the Autumn Harvest Uprising was the pinnacle of his revolutionary process and the turning point of his revolutionary life, and this person was Han Jun.
Join the revolutionary cause
In 11893, Han Jun was born into an ordinary peasant family in Huanggang, Hubei. Although the family was poor, the ancestors of the Han family had been scholars for generations. The family followed the ancestral precepts and taught Han Jun to read and write since he was a child. They lived frugally and saved money to send Han Jun to Xinzhou Higher Primary School so that he could receive a new type of education.
Han Jun knew that this opportunity to study was hard to come by, so he studied hard and was successfully admitted to the county middle school. Three years later, he came to Beijing and became a student at the Railway Management School of the Ministry of Transport.
After years of studying hard, the harvest season finally came. After graduating from the management school, Han Jun returned to his hometown and became a teacher in the primary school affiliated with the Provincial Normal School.
A comfortable job and a stable income were the living conditions that most people of that era dreamed of. However, based on his admiration for the founding father Sun Yat-sen, Han Jun resigned from his official position and rushed to Guangzhou, where he was employed by the Guangzhou Military Government and became an inspector of the Department of Finance. In the past few years, he has worked in many places in Guangdong.
During this period, he worked in the Guangdong Xijiang Rehabilitation Supervisory Office as a clerk in the Military Affairs Section. Because of his working relationship, he met Deng Yanda, who was then the commander of the Second Regiment of the First Division of the Guangdong Army. The two had similar temperaments and have always had a good relationship.
After the establishment of Huangpu Military Academy in 1924, Deng Yanda served as the deputy director of the Lesson Department. At this time, he thought of his good brother Han Jun and recommended him to apply for the Huangpu Military Academy. Soon Han Jun successfully passed the exam and became a member of the third team of the first phase of Huangpu. Shortly after entering the military academy, Han Jun joined our party and began his short revolutionary life.
The first batch of Huangpu brought together elite talents from all over the country. Many years later, among the ranks of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, many Huangpu first batch students were in high positions. Being able to become alumni of the same period with them shows that Han Jun's ability is also very outstanding.
In the past few years, Han Jun participated in two Eastern Expeditions. In 1925, he was sent to the Soviet Union as a training subject and entered the Red Army University for further study. After returning to China, he was caught up in the Northern Expedition. He once again wore military uniform and rushed to the front line to command the battle. After the Northern Expedition, he was promoted to the commander of the training battalion of the 11th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising
In June 1927, the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army established a guard regiment in Wuchang. Han Jun was ordered to be transferred to the chief of staff of the guard regiment. The leadership team with him included regiment leader Lu Deming and political instructor Xin Huanwen. .
Please note that these three people are not only members of our party, but they are also not ordinary people.
Although Xin Huanwen was not a graduate of Huangpu, he was an old party member in 1923, and his party experience was higher than both of them.
Let’s talk about Lu Deming. He rushed to Guangzhou to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy, but the admission period had passed. However, after being recommended by alliance members Shi Qingyang and Li Xiaoting, he met Sun Yat-sen, successfully passed the interview with the founding father, and was admitted to the second phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. At that time, he was praised by the founding father as "a model for students" because of his excellent academic performance. Although he is Han Jun's younger brother, he should be more famous than Han Jun.
The security regiment led by three outstanding party members will of course firmly support the armed uprising led by our party.
At that time, in order to facilitate management, the three of them placed members of our party in the leadership positions of the security corps, such as Wan Xixian, He Tingying, He Changgong, etc.
htmlOn August 1, when news of the uprising broke out in Nanchang, several leaders of the security regiment discussed together and decided to use the transfer order just sent by Zhang Fakui to transfer the troops out of Wuhan and rush to Nanchang to participate in the uprising.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the guard regiment arrived at Xiushui, they learned that due to the enemy's counterattack, the rebel army had left Nanchang and headed south, and the guard regiment might not be able to catch up. Then a bad news came. In order to intercept the guard regiment and prevent them from going south, Zhang Fakui sent two regiments of troops to rush over.
At this time, the guard regiment was in a dilemma. After the three people discussed it, Lu Deming returned to Wuhan to find the party organization to explore the next step. The guard regiment, under the leadership of Han Jun and Xin Huanwen, incorporated several local farmers self-defense forces and scattered After the soldiers died, and after negotiations with Zhu Peide, it was reorganized into the temporary First Division of the Jiangxi Defense Army.
has a place to rely on, and this revolutionary force is temporarily preserved.
Later, after Lu Deming contacted the comrades of the Provincial Party Committee in Wuhan, he received instructions from his superiors and arranged for them to go to the Hunan and Jiangxi border to participate in the uprising.
Not long ago, the great man put forward the slogan "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun" for the first time in the "August 7th Meeting". This meeting decided to launch the Autumn Harvest Uprising in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and this is where Han Jun's department went. .
The troops participating in this uprising were mainly composed of two parts. One was the local peasant army and workers' armed forces of Anyuan Coal Mine, and the other was the guard regiment that did not participate in the Nanchang Uprising.
At that time, the rebel army was designated as the First Division of the First Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, with commander-in-chief Lu Deming, deputy commander-in-chief Han Jun, and political instructor Xin Huanwen, totaling more than 5,000 people in the army.
The rebel army had insufficient soldiers and lacked combat experience. The march had not been smooth, especially in Luxi Town, Pingxiang, Jiangxi. The rebel army was attacked by the enemy. At a critical moment, Lu Deming led his troops to cover the main force's retreat. Although everyone got out of trouble , but hundreds of people were lost in this battle, and commander-in-chief Lu Deming also died.
Later, on the way back to Jiangxi, he again exchanged fire with the militia. During the battle, Xin Huanwen died and Han Jun became a prisoner.
learned that the captured officer was actually a first-year student in Huangpu. The enemy did not give him any trouble, but reported the situation to his superiors. As his own student, Principal Jiang also hopes that Han Jun can change his beliefs and be used by him again. In addition to Jiang's disregard of past grievances and the persuasion of Huangpu classmates, Han Jun finally gave up his original intention and joined the National Army.
Battle of Laiwu Captured
Although Han Jun completely broke away from our party, Chiang Kai-shek would not completely trust him and only let Han Jun hold some nominal titles, such as section chief of the Salt Affairs Office of Guangdong Beihai and political instructor of the Central Military Academy , Director of the Political Training Division of the 41st Division, etc.
In fact, Han Jun had no real power in the army because he refused to participate in the "Encirclement and Suppression of Red Bandits". However, in general, Chiang Kai-shek treated him well. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Jun was already a major general in the army.
The Anti-Japanese War broke out and the national crisis was at the forefront. Experienced generals were needed on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. Han Jun finally had the opportunity to show his military talents. During the Anti-Japanese War, he held the highest position of lieutenant general and participated in the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Changsha. He was also a patriotic general who contributed to the great cause of the Anti-Japanese nation.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek once again ignited the war for his own dictatorship.
In 1947, the national army concentrated more than 300,000 people to attack the southern Shandong area. In view of this situation, our army went north and wiped out more than 50,000 Li Xianzhou troops in Laiwu in just three days. The then commander of the 73rd Army Army Commander Han Jun also became a prisoner.When
was captured at that time, he took the initiative to identify himself to the People's Liberation Army and said that he was too tired to run. In the end, the People's Liberation Army arranged a stretcher and took him, a senior official of the national army, to see the leader of our army!
Han Jun left our party because he did not run away. Decades later, he was captured by our army, or because he could not run away. Is it a cause and effect cycle?
Conclusion
After Han Jun became a prisoner, he first studied in the Weifang People's Liberation Officers Training Corps, and later was arranged to enter the Gongdelin War Criminals Management Center for reform until he was amnesty and regained his freedom in 1961.
Among those who participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising with him, many became founding generals, such as Marshal Luo Ronghuan. During the Autumn Harvest Uprising, he was only a party representative of a special agent company. Tan Zheng, who was awarded the rank of general, was only a general at that time. Company headquarters clerks, and many generals and lieutenant generals.
Han Jun's status was high back then, but now it is incomparable. After
received amnesty, the organization made appropriate arrangements for Han Jun. In his later years, he served as a member of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. On September 7, 1989, Han Jun died of illness in Wuhan at the age of 96.
