Our army has a total of 57 founding generals. If divided according to the position level at the time of the title, it includes the general at the corps level, the general at the deputy regiment level and the general at the quasi-corps level.

Our army has a total of 57 founding generals. If divided according to the position level at the time of the title, it includes the general at the corps level, the general at the deputy regiment level and the general at the quasi-corps level. There is only General He Bingyan at the quasi-corps level, which is largely selected to balance the mountain. Therefore, the main ranks of the founding generals and the deputy rank are the main ranks of the founding generals, among which there are 19 generals at the deputy rank. Among the 19 deputy regiment-level generals, who is the one with the highest military achievements?

There is no doubt that this general is the "Tornado Commander" Han Xianchu . Among the generals at the deputy regiment level, Han Xianchu has outstanding military achievements and command ability. Those who are close to him are Li Tianyou, Liu Zhen, Hong Xuezhi and others, but Han Xianchu is recognized as the "God of War". There has always been a rumor among the people: Han Xianchu should have been awarded the rank of lieutenant general, but the chairman named him as general because he saw his outstanding military achievements. This statement is very absurd and I don’t know where it comes from. Because it was normal for the founding general to be awarded as a deputy regiment-level general, the span of the deputy regiment-level general mainly includes the general and the lieutenant general. With Han Xianchu's military achievements as a perfect general, there should be no such thing as a leader who specially promoted him to a first-level military rank.

General Han Xianchu's main achievements were during the War of Liberation and Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea . In the early days of the Liberation War, he facilitated the first time our army in Northeast China to force the enemy to surrender a whole division. Later, Han Xianchu led his troops to annihilate the division-level troops of the National Army, such as the Xinkailing Battle and the Weiyuan Fort Battle. He was very brave and tried and tested in the long-distance raid style. Because his soldiers were very fast, Han Xianchu was called "Tornado Commander" by his feared enemy and felt extremely frightened by his Three Zong of Dongye. Han Xianchu was a subordinate or deputy in the War of Liberation, and "commanded" his superiors to be determined to win the battle. If you weren't skilled and brave, you wouldn't be able to do this.

Of course, what people talk about most is the great achievements of the Hainan Battle in 1950. If Han Xianchu's courage and persistence are gone, it will leave historical problems for the country. This is almost a consensus in the historical community. Han Xianchu's outstanding military literacy and resolute character traits have created a legendary general who dares to offend and only wants to win battles, and has a keen sense of being superior to commanders of the same level and elevated to the strategic level.

And during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Han Xianchu was one of the earliest deputy commanders of the Volunteer Army, and gave President Peng great tactical support on the Korean battlefield. In the later stage, Han Xianchu directly commanded the 19th Corps and was on the front line of combat during the strategic stalemate. Among the nineteen deputy regiment-level generals, Han Xianchu has the highest record. Even at the corps-level general, few people can compare their military level and battlefield contributions with him. By the 1960s and 1970s, Han Xianchu was the most capable general in the entire army, which was almost an indisputable fact within the army at that time. General Chen Geng died in 1961, and General Su was hiding for many years due to anti-individualism criticism.

Chapter 0, why is such a powerful general Han Xianchu just a deputy regiment-level general? Shouldn't it be at the level of a corps? After all, when he resisted the U.S. aggression and aid Korea, he was already the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. One thing to be noted here: there was no clear definition of the level of the Volunteer Army in the early 1950s, and it was not that the status of the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army must be high. Because in the 13th Corps that entered North Korea in the early days, Han Xianchu and Hong Xuezhi were both deputy commanders of the Corps, and the Corps Command was directly transformed into the Volunteer Army Command, so this is how his status as deputy commander of the Volunteer Army came about.

So strictly speaking, Han Xianchu was really just a deputy regiment-level general in the early 1950s, and the officer grading was completed in 1952. During the War of Liberation, the highest position he served as deputy commander of the Corps. During the Hainan Battle in 1950, Han Xianchu was nominally Deng Hua's deputy, and was sent to North Korea shortly after the victory of the battle. The main reason why Han Xianchu's military achievements were so high but his improvement was not very fast was that he had been studying in Yan'an in the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan and missed a lot of wars, which affected the promotion speed.When it comes to , the Red Army , his start is also different from some famous generals. He has not reached the level of the Red Army's division commander, and he is a late bloomer. In principle, the founding generals need to match the qualifications of the Red Army's division commander or above, so it is reasonable that Han Xianchu was designated as the deputy regiment-level general.
