At the same time, 1955 attracted more attention from both China and the world, because this rank ceremony is a fundamental affirmation of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement of the people across the country, and it is also a reward for those revolutionary patriots who led the working people forward in the revolution.
1955 award ceremony
At the 1955 award ceremony, each general and the ranks were rated Major General, General, Lieutenant General, Marshal, General, General and other military ranks according to their respective grades and experiences. Everyone was expected to be. , but there was a person's military rank that caused a lot of controversy at the time. He was Han Xianchu .
Everyone believes that according to Han Xianchu's resume of joining the Communist Party, his past experience and current position, he can only be rated as a lieutenant general at most, but the final award ceremony awarded him the honor of general.
In the face of the doubts of relevant people, the Party Central Committee gave a very convincing statement: Han Xianchu is also the only general who fought from the northernmost part of China to the southernmost part of China, and he has never lost a war in his life, and even his various war cases have been written into the history of the United States. Han Xianchu was a well-known and victorious general, so his rank of general deserved.

So why is Han Xianchu so capable of fighting? What kind of resume does he have?
1. Amazing military talent
Since ancient times, people have said that "three points are destined by heaven, seven points are determined by hard work." General Han Xianchu's later efforts seemed to be even more shocking without his talent. Because when he was young, he was able to show his super high military talent , and even stunned the people around him for a while.
html At the beginning of the 120th century, Han Xianchu was born in a low-level peasant home. At that time, China's mountains and rivers were broken, the social system was defeated, various warlords fought in melee, people were starving everywhere, and war was burning everywhere in the land of China. Han Xianchu has never had enough food since the day he was born, and has not gone to school to provide systematic education.

What he saw during his growth was all the scenes of landlords bullying the tenant farmers , and also saw the various oppression of the local tyrants and gentry on the farmers. So, he, unwillingly, joined the peasant association when he was 14. This association gathered a group of working people to sum up their strength to fight against the big landlords who bullied them.
And his military talent was also initially revealed in the fight against the landlords. Back then, a huge landlord was struggling with two or three wealthy businessmen and tyrant bullies to oppress the farmers, while Han Xianchu led the members of the peasant association to start a battle with the enemy.
He first organized these farmers into a team in groups of three or three, and then sent a team to reconnaissance the situation of the landlords. At that time, most of the landlords' homes had guns.

After obtaining a series of intelligence, Han Xianchu inferred that landlords would trick most of the farmers into the ambush circle they had prepared long ago in the name of inviting and talking, killing all the . Even if the enemy's actions were inferred, he did not feel timid. Instead, he adopted the method of attacking the west and , asking the landlord to give up the encirclement he had set up, and he organized the farmers to accidentally knock out the guns in the hand of the landlord.
Just like that, a 14-year-old child actually led the local farmers to beat the landlord bully who was several times more numerous than theirs.
Later, when people from the peasant association asked Han Xianchu if he would lead troops to fight, he shook his head regretfully, saying that he had never read and did not know what military means. So at that time, a farmer suggested that he could join the Communist Party. The Communist Party set up a free night school to teach people how to learn. If he had talent, he could show his strength.

So, in 1930, Han Xianchu joined the local guerrillas as a Communist Party member, where he gained first-hand practical experience.
Although he performed well in the guerrillas, Han Xianchu still felt that he seemed to be missing something. He suddenly realized that he had not received large-scale and systematic military training because had not received large-scale and systematic military training, so he was a little overwhelmed when he wanted to make some tricks.
So he began to take the initiative to report to the Party Central Committee and asked to go to school to study. Soon after, he learned advanced military knowledge of the Soviet Union and obtained learning materials for dealing with the National Army.
Han Xianchu
Although he worked very hard and led the way in war, his promotion journey was not smooth. Unlike other leaders, Han Xianchu's path to promotion was steadily moving forward one level after another, and he never skipped the level. In other words, he had served as a captain, platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, and he did not show his strength until later.
2. The ever-winning general on the Long March route
The military political commissar Wu Huan commented on Han Xianchu: "Only Chu has talent, Xianchu is an example."
The reason why he praised so much was because the battle of Dushu Town at that time was really beautiful, and it was Han Xianchu who commanded this battle.
In November 1934, the 25th Army of the Red Army was preparing to pass the Xunan Highway from Dushu Town, , but they did not expect that they would encounter Kuomintang troops ambushed here early. Moreover, there are quite a few people here in , and there are actually a brigade and a cavalry regiment. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek also surprisingly added a support division headquarters to them. This situation fell into the eyes of the Red Army soldiers, which was tantamount to their burial place.
KMT troops
However, if the Red Army soldiers did not go from here, they would go around a long way and even unable to catch up with the large army. Therefore, Han Xianchu decided to fight fiercely with the enemy here.
He asked the vanguard to go for reconnaissance, scout report found that the Kuomintang soldiers were moving very slowly. Han Xianchu suddenly realized that it was November now, and the enemy was always a pampered army. Unlike the Red Army soldiers, they had never lived a hard life. Their movement ability is simply not comparable to that of the Red Army. If they can lead the army to charge first, they may catch the enemy off guard. .
So, Han Xianchu began to cheer up his morale. After he made the arrangements, he began to charge forward with his troops. Just when he dispersed the enemy troops, he found that the enemy troops were planning to encircle them from both wings and tried to surround them in the middle. Han Xianchu was fighting freely inside and shouting: "It's a party member to me! There are no cowards among the Communist Party of China."

Although these inspiring commands are shouting in the hearts of the soldiers. Everyone found that can even take the lead immediately. Can you still retreat? In an instant, the Red Army soldiers around them swept away their original low morale and fought bravely one by one to fight with the enemy.
After a brief victory, Han Xianchu led the remaining troops to cross the Fenghe River to seize the nearby commanding heights, and attacked and suppressed the enemy. The main force successfully left under their cover. Han Xianchu not only successfully completed the task of covering the retreat of the main force, but also won a beautiful victory , so the military political commissar praised this.
The battle of Dingbian two years later once again confirmed Han Xianchu's reputation as the "eternal victory general".

At that time, the large army of the Red Army had just passed by Dingbian, and General Peng also gave a death order: "Dingbian is too difficult to fight. Although it is a piece of fat, the resources there can give the Red Army an urgent need, but if it is a strong attack, it may cause huge casualties, so Dingbian cannot fight."
But after Han Xianchu's reconnaissance by the vanguard, he found that Dingbian was a fat meat to the enemy, and a treasure pot for the Red Army. If the Red Army could take Dingbian, it would benefit a lot, not only could it occupy the commanding heights of Dingbian and observe the enemy's movements.
"They will not be able to bear the fate of the foreign army." This is what Han Xianchu replied to General Peng. After receiving his reply, General Peng was angry, but after getting angry, General Peng placed his appreciation eyes on the telegram sent by Han Xianchu.
Peng Dehuai
He said: "I want to see if this Han Xianchu can show his power." What Han Xianchu, who is already planning to make arrangements on the front line, doesn't know that in fact, General Peng is also secretly supporting him.
In fact, after not receiving the call from President Peng for a long time, Han Xianchu was in a state of ease. He didn't know whether he could really take the detachment and whether he could really take on the responsibility of defeating the battle. So he thought about it and prepared to launch an attack the next day.
Just as dawned, Han Xianchu had already assembled the troops. He shouted to all the soldiers: "You must set the side! It is beneficial to our army to set the side. If you can't fight, I will bear all the responsibilities."

So Han Xianchu started to deploy troops that day and was scheduled to attack that night. As a result, in less than 24 hours of , he really took Dingbian down, and the Red Army's casualties were not large, which was a very big victory. After General Peng learned that Han Xianchu was so capable of fighting, he praised Han Xianchu for his reputation as the "eternal victory general".
With systematic and theoretical military theory learning and practical combat experience on the battlefield, Han Xianchu's military theory and command talents are increasing day by day. All these laid a solid foundation for his future wars.
At this time, he was no longer just a victorious general, his other title, "Tornado General" , also began to appear in the public's sight.

3. The "Tornado General" written in the history of the United States
Han Xianchu's Long March has accumulated valuable experience for his future operations, and he shined even more on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.
In April 1938, facing the 30,000 Japanese troops' "Nine-Road Siege" , Han Xianchu not only led his regiment headquarters to fight with the Japanese army five times, but also actively helped other besieged troops escape. Moreover, the local villagers who were protected by him all asked Han Xianchu to stay here to establish a base.
From this we can see that Han Xianchu's combat ability is obvious to all. In that month, Han Xianchu led a large army to liberate five or six nearby counties and districts one after another, directly opening up a new situation in the anti-Japanese base in southern Hebei Province.

Such a record made Han Xianchu become a well-known figure in the Eighth Route Army. His path to promotion also unfolded, until 1940, he had become the brigade commander and could have the sole command of a certain army.
1946, the War of Liberation had begun in full swing. Han Xianchu was appointed as deputy commander of the 4th Column of the South Manchuria of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army. At this time, he was ordered to be in danger because the Shaling Battle at that time caused heavy losses to our army, so Chairman Mao asked him to lead our army to return the front to our advantage to avoid letting the enemy infiltrate again.
So he started to rush forward with his troops and led the large army to directly attack Anshan . After winning the victory in Anshan in all respects, Han Xianchu led his army to attack day and night, and won the victory of Xinkailing Battle .

Wiyuan Fort Battle is a battle that firmly sat in his name as "Tornado General". In this battle, Han Xianchu insisted on a long-distance raid. After reaching the target, he directly carried out dangerous moves. He achieved a complete victory in less than 30 hours.The Kuomintang officer in charge of this battle, Du Yuming, was also transferred from the Northeast by Chiang Kai-shek because he said that Han Xianchu's whirlwind troops would never be able to deal with it.
Liberation of Hainan was also won by Han Xianchu Binggui's quick style.

As expected, the People's Liberation Army boarded Hainan Island in April and liberated all Hainan in less than a month.
When everyone thought that the general would rest after liberating Tainan, he led his troops to North Korea . After the founding of the country, the situation in North Korea was very anxious. Han Xianchu took the lead and blew his whirlwind to North Korea.
At that time, Liang Xingchu's troops were criticized by General Peng because of their previous defeat in the battle, so everyone's morale was very sluggish, and Han Xianchu's arrival made everyone feel a hundred times more energetic in an instant. Because all the soldiers knew that he was a famous and victorious general, so under his encouragement, the Tokugawa battle started.
Liang Xingchu
On November 25, 1950, the People's Volunteer Army led by Han Xianchu wiped out all the South Korean troops who were guarding Tokugawa in less than one day.
This record not only stunned the People's Volunteer Army, but also made Chairman Mao and others in China very excited. Even his record this time was personally investigated by MacArthur . Because his whirlwind troops were very good at long-distance raids and combat, and the US military had never seen this style of play, so Chu won many times on the Korean battlefield, while the US military was always irresistible.
Later, Han Xianchu's combat method was also written into US Military History , and his own combat cases also allowed many US officers to learn .
Han Xianchu in conversation with Chairman Mao
MacArthur recalled in his later years: Han Xianchu's combat method was something he did not expect. If President Peng's iron-fisted methods made him frightened, then Han Xianchu's whirlwind troops made him extremely anxious.
From this we can see that Han Xianchu's name is well deserved, and General Tornado is truly worthy of his name. Whether in the snowy Northeast, Hainan with waves, or on the road to the Eastern Expedition, or on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Han Xianchu used his life to practice his true nature as a soldier.
