Since Han Kuo-yu lost to Tsai Ing-wen, the KMT has almost become a puddle of mud. Although the Kuomintang has been constantly replacing new presidents, it is still to no avail. As the mainstream ruling party in Taiwan, it is really sad that the Kuomintang ended up like this.

Ever since Han Guoyu lost to Tsai Ing-wen , the Kuomintang has almost become a puddle of mud.

Although the Kuomintang has been constantly changing new chairmen, it still does not help.

As the mainstream ruling party in Taiwan, it is really sad that the Kuomintang ended up like this.

As a member of the Kuomintang, Han Guoyu once served as the mayor of Kaohsiung City. He was once a influential figure in Taiwanese politics. His father Han Jihua was also a famous anti-war hero.

"Han Baldy" Han Guoyu

Han Guoyu has been ups and downs in Taiwan's political circles for many years. In front of the Taiwanese people, he always laughs at himself as a "bald man" and a "vegetable seller" .

Han Guoyu was born in 1957. His ancestral home is located in Shangqiu, Henan Province. He is the second generation descendant of a veteran of the Kuomintang.

When the Kuomintang was defeated in the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Han Jihua fled to Taiwan with his family. Han Guoyu's family lived in a military village in New Taipei , ranking sixth in the family.

When he was a young boy, Han Guoyu's grades plummeted. He skipped classes and got into fights every day. When Han Jihua saw that his son was not interested in studying, he sent him to the Republic of China Army Officer School in Kaohsiung.

A year before he was discharged from the army, Han Guoyu suddenly decided to work hard due to an accidental opportunity, so he decided to pick up his textbooks and read at night. Finally, he was admitted to the English Language Department of Soochow University and was honorably discharged with the rank of major.

Hanguo Yu also said with a smile, "Since the year when I started studying seriously, my hairline moved back more than ten centimeters, and eventually I became bald."

After graduating from college, Hanguo Yu continued his studies at National Chengchi University, where he studied for a master's degree in law..

With such a resume, it seems that Hanguo-yu's image is completely consistent with that of a "highly educated" elite. However, Hanguo-yu continues to make some vulgar and unrestricted remarks in front of the public, which is really shocking.

In 1990, Hanguo Yu began his ups and downs political career.

He first became a councilor in Taipei City, and then, with the support of the Huang Renaissance Party, he was successfully re-elected as a public opinion representative in Taiwan for several terms.

It was also during the past few years that Hanguo-yu gradually became familiar with the organization of Taiwan's legislative body, and his work attitude was also well received.

In Han Guoyu’s early years, his career in politics was bright and smooth.

Especially when he defeated Chen Qimai and was elected mayor of Kaohsiung City, it can be said to be the highlight moment of Han Guoyu's political career.

In 2018, Han Guoyu specially moved his household registration to Kaohsiung in order to run for mayor of Kaohsiung City.

Kaohsiung City is a solid green camp gathering place with a deep-rooted public base. Even the Kuomintang has no hope that a bright blue voter like Han Guoyu will come here to run.

Besieged on all sides, South Korea's Yu has very little financial assistance.

Unexpectedly, Hanguo Yu finally succeeded in breaking out from the hands of the Democratic Progressive Party and won the post of mayor of Kaohsiung City with his down-to-earth image and goal of "serving the people and promoting the economic development of Kaohsiung" .

However, the good times did not last long. After taking office, Hanguo-yu failed to drive the economic development of Kaohsiung City as he had promised before. Instead, he made the citizens of Kaohsiung City resentful.

In 2020, more than a year after Han Kuo-yu was elected mayor of Kaohsiung, his political career finally came to an end with a recall case.

Revealing the secret of Han Jihua, Han Guoyu's father

Han Jihua, Han Guoyu's father, was born in 1920. His ancestral home is in Yucheng County, in eastern Henan. This area is a well-known "poor mountainous area" in the local area.

As the saying goes, you can eat mountains if you rely on mountains, and you can eat water if you rely on water. However, as far as you can see here in Yucheng County, there is only the barren sandy land left by the diversion of the Yellow River.

In the early years of the Republic of China, there were wars and bandits here, and the local people were in dire straits. Almost all the young and middle-aged people who could run away, leaving only some old, weak, women and children still staying in the village, and life was even more difficult.

Han Jihua has lived in this mountain nook since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child.

Later, after the Nationalist Government formally unified China, the Republic of China began to enter the so-called "golden decade" construction period, and Henan began to regain calm, and then ushered in the dawn of the economy.

With the support of the local government, Henan began to build a large number of normal schools to cultivate teacher talents.

Han Jihua followed the trend and also studied in a normal school for several years.

If nothing unexpected happens, Han Jihua will become a teacher after graduation. However, the Japanese invasion of China directly changed Han Jihua's entire life trajectory.

In 1938, at the time of the Anti-Japanese War, gunfire broke out many times and people fled in all directions.

18-year-old Han Jihua trekked from Zhengzhou to Hunan alone and was admitted to the third phase of the tank student team of the Army Mechanization School that moved to Changsha.

Under normal circumstances, Han Jihua could have chosen the closer Xi'an Central Military Academy.

Han Jihua's yearning for tanks made him come here at the expense of the near and far.

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, there were very few combatants on both sides of China and Japan who knew how to use tanks.

China's armored corps, which was just established, did not have perfect combat strategies and usage methods. When it charged directly into the Japanese position, the entire army was quickly annihilated.

After learning from the experience of failure, our troops used Han Jihua's hometown as the battlefield and launched a series of experiments related to tank power. Han Jihua also joined the third phase of the mechanized school tank student team, and was later fortunate enough to be transferred to India to receive American training.

The instructors in the combat vehicle training class at that time were all elite talents specially selected from the U.S. Armored Forces School. A total of 182 trainees were trained in the first batch.

In July 1943, after Han Jihua graduated, the training team he was in was directly reorganized into a tank battalion, and the commander at the time was still an American.

A poor boy who came from a remote mountain ravine suddenly saw so much of the world at once. Han Jihua's heart was filled with excitement. He was also enthusiastic and tireless when he studied every day. He pretended to be a strong thirst for knowledge, and at the same time he pretended to be ambitious and determined to protect his family and country.

After graduating from the training period, Han Jihua was assigned to the First Battalion as the deputy platoon leader.

Since then, Han Jihua has lived a life filled with bullets and fear.

Although the tank is very lethal, when it comes to fighting on the front line, the huge tank is also very limited.

When a tank attacks, the infantry should clear the way in front, and the tank should shoot the enemy from a long distance behind.

But if they encounter a virgin forest, it will be difficult for the infantry to keep up with the chariot, and the chariot will have to go deep alone. Only when it reaches a certain distance can the chariot truly understand the enemy's situation. At this time, the enemy has probably discovered the existence of the chariot at the same time.

Han Jihua once told Hanguo Yu that the power of the chariot is very powerful.

“When we discover the enemy, it also means that the enemy has already come to us.”

“At that time, when we saw the Japanese during the war, we would step on the accelerator of the tank to the bottom, and then rush forward with all our strength, crushing the Japanese fortifications, or directly crushing the Japanese’s body."

" It is a very cruel thing to watch live people being run over by chariots. In fact, it is just hand-to-hand combat. "

"Sometimes some Japanese soldiers kneel down and surrender, begging us not to kill them, but we have no choice because there is no support behind us. If they overturn, we will be the ones who die, or if we let him go, these Japanese soldiers may also kill more Chinese people, so my comrades and I reached a consensus that no one should be spared alive. "

" After every chariot war, the roadside is full of enemy limbs and broken arms, and the tracks of the chariots are still stained with the enemy's flesh and blood. It is very bloody, but thinking that these people also killed people like crazy during the Nanjing Massacre , then we cannot be so helpless, not to mention that war is a terrifying thing. "

Varuban, Mengguan, Nayuhe...

Han Jihua went to India and participated in many anti-Japanese wars, and the Japanese army was almost intimidated by the tanks and was unable to resist.

Until later, the Japanese learned to directly use anti-tank guns to attack tanks. Han Jihua had several times He watched helplessly as his comrades were burned alive on the chariot because they had no time to escape.

Until Zhanyi Battalion fought its final battle with the Japanese army in Bhamo, China ushered in its final victory.

In July 1945, Han Jihua, who had distinguished himself in combat in northern Myanmar, was first appointed as the training director of the Chinese Army's Tank Training Division in India, and was later promoted to the commander of the First Tank Company.

However, after being born Han Jihua, who had been in death for many years, could not integrate into the officialdom of hypocrisy and coercion. This also made Han Jihua's career stagnant for a time, with no hope of promotion.

In 1948, Han Jihua was promoted to captain.

However, before there was time to be happy, another great change occurred within the Kuomintang.

At that time, the domestic liberation war had come to an end. During the protest stage, after successive defeats in Nanjing, Chongqing, and Guangzhou, the Kuomintang troops were still defeated.

Faced with this situation, Chiang Kai-shek finally decided to withdraw to Taiwan. He began to plot how to transfer important materials, equipment, enterprises and troops to Taiwan.

In fact, as early as 1947, Chiang Kai-shek had already prepared for the worst and found a way out for himself.

During the civil war years, Chiang Kai-shek had secretly moved a large amount of gold and silver treasures, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings to Taiwan, and also specially drew up a list of people who would follow the Kuomintang to retreat from Taiwan.

On December 10, 1949, Chiang and his son flew to Taiwan. It was also on the same day that Han Jihua and several colleagues flew from Chengdu to Hainan. The South Island was deployed and arrived in Taiwan a month later.

In that year, nearly two million Kuomintang soldiers and civilians crossed the sea and moved to Taiwan.

In order to accommodate these soldiers and civilians who came across the sea, the Taiwan government built houses in various places, and military family members lived together according to different military commanders. These communities all over Taiwan became the later "military villages".

The fate of the generals who came to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek was very different. Some were reused, some were entrusted with false posts, and some were even placed under claustrophobic house arrest.

Han Jihua has four brothers and sisters in his family. He is the eldest son and the only one in the family who left his homeland and settled in Taiwan.

After this, Han Jihua never saw his brothers and sisters again. htm When l5

first came to Taiwan, the place where Han Jihua lived was very simple. Even the chairs were made of the simplest bamboo .

At that time, everyone was convinced that they would not stay in Taiwan for long, and the Kuomintang would soon return to the mainland.

Han Jihua's wife is his childhood sweetheart and a teacher.

A few years later, Han Guoyu was born in the military village, and Han Jihua's heart gradually settled down in Taiwan.

It was not until 2001 that Han Jihua returned to the mainland to visit relatives and built graves and erected monuments for his deceased relatives.

Two years later, Han Jihua also passed away. Memorial services were held for Han Jihua in both Taiwan and his hometown.

Comrades of Han Jihua: Armored Corps of the Chinese Expeditionary Force

Ramgarh is an inconspicuous town located on the plains of northeastern India, and it is also an existence that is easily ignored on the map.

While the Anti-Japanese War was in full swing, a large number of Chinese soldiers gathered here to receive the most advanced equipment and training from the United States, preparing for the final fight with the Japanese army.

The instructors at the Ramgarh base are all Americans, and they also adopt American training methods. All soldiers who have been trained personally feel that the teaching methods of the US military are very effective.

Take Han Jihua’s tank school as an example. Their learning courses are diverse. In addition to the most basic tank driving skills, they also need to learn radio, shooting, tank tactics, etc. Some technical officers even need to learn the structure of a tank. Various obstacles are set up on the

driving field, simulating various complex terrains that may be encountered on the actual battlefield.

Only after each student passes a stage of examination can a course be truly completed.

Through the training, the soldiers not only quickly mastered the operation essentials of the tank, but also gradually accepted the modern way of thinking and war theory, which is extremely beneficial to them in future operations, thus greatly improving the quality and training results of the Chinese army.

Qian Jianmin was born in troubled times and experienced the cruelty of war. When he was 24 years old, he became blind because of the war, and even his jaw was half knocked off by a bullet.

Even so, Qian Jianmin still lives tenaciously.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Qian Jianmin returned to his hometown in Jiangsu and remained anonymous for more than ten years.

Later, it was not until a trophy of the Japanese 18th Division customs defense seal was discovered by the children that people learned about the disabled old man's lifelong military career.

Qian Jianmin was born in 1922. He began to join the military camp when he was eighteen years old. After joining the army, he was admitted to the Army Mechanization School with excellent results and learned skills such as tank command and tank driving in the tank team.

In March 1942, China's first batch of expeditionary force troops launched the Yunnan-Burma Road Operation in Myanmar. However, due to the delay of the British army, the expeditionary force fell into a tight siege by the Japanese army, ultimately resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people.

In March 1943, Qian Jianmin, who had just graduated from the military academy, was transferred to the expeditionary force and went to Burma, where he once again started a bloody battle with the Japanese army.

The tank used by Qian Jianmin at that time was the T26B fast tank purchased from foreign countries.

Qian Jianmin was highly skilled, and he and the tank almost reached the point where "man and vehicle are integrated into one". He also won many battles in a row when fighting the Japanese army.

After wiping out the Japanese 18th Division, Qian Jianmin also made great military exploits and had a bright future.

Later in 1945, Qian Jianmin was ordered by his superiors to go on a mission in Guizhou. On the way, he encountered bandits robbing refugees. While fighting the bandits, Qian Jianmin was shot in the chin and his eyes were scratched by glass. In the end, because he did not receive timely treatment, he unfortunately lost his sight.

After that, Qian Jianmin returned to his hometown to marry a wife and have children, and lived an ordinary life of poverty and peace of mind.

On February 9, 2018, this veteran of the Anti-Japanese War of the Expeditionary Force passed away at the age of 96.

After the fall of Shanghai, the Japanese war gradually spread to Nanjing. In order to allow the Kuomintang troops to master tank skills as soon as possible, while accepting Soviet aid for the National Government tanks, Chiang Kai-shek spent a lot of money to purchase Soviet tanks and invited a Soviet advisory group for guidance. Later, these Soviet tanks were also allocated to Du Yuming.

These tanks were later organized into the 200th Division of the Army. Du Yuming was appointed as the major general commander. This was also the first mechanized division of the Kuomintang.

200 The first task after the division was established was to learn how to use tanks.

In 1939, the 200th Division was reorganized into the "New 11th Army" and the "5th Army".

In 1942, Du Yuming led the 5th Army Chariot Corps to enter Myanmar to fight. Due to the lack of cooperation of the British army, the national army entering Myanmar suffered a disastrous defeat and suffered great losses during the retreat.

In 1944, the Chinese Expeditionary Force began to counterattack the Japanese army from western Yunnan . As the main force participating in the war, the armored troops cooperated to capture many Japanese strongholds such as Yulong, Bangda, Longling, and finally opened up the Yunnan-Burma Road.

In February 1945, the 5th Army returned to Kunming from Myanmar for rest and recuperation. At the same time, the tank regiment also updated its equipment and replaced it with more advanced American tanks. The "5th Army" was also renamed the Tank Corps "First Regiment" .

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government used the Japanese tanks it received and the American tanks it had previously owned to establish tank corps in Tianjin, Beiping, Shenyang, Harbin and other places.

At this point, the Kuomintang army had six tank corps, reaching its highest peak.

The tank corps can be said to be the most elite part of the Kuomintang's military equipment, but later on the battlefield, the performance of these armored units of the national army was lackluster. Due to the scattered configuration, no obvious results were achieved, so the impact was very limited.
