Chairman Mao personally instructed Liu Lin and Peng Su to fight, but Xu Xiangqian was ignored

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

Known for his exceptional foresight, he was also able to provide vital guidance at the strategic level to commanders such as Liu Deng Lin Peng, who were adept at commanding large armies. Observing history, it can be found that in the command of key battles such as Liu Deng and Lin Peng, we can get a glimpse of the leadership of ***. ** will communicate their understanding of the battle situation to the front-line commanders in the form of telegrams, and these commanders often benefit from ***'s guidance when they encounter difficulties and resolve the situation. Throughout the War of Liberation, the number of telegrams sent to these commanders was quite numerous, as many as hundreds. According to this logic, ** should have similar guidance for every senior commander, but there is a special case, and that is *** to *** telegraph guidance is minimal, almost none, why is this?

The author studied the relevant information, looked for the answer to this question, and finally found a clue in the development experience of ***. In the evaluation of later generations, the ability to command operations is extremely high, and it can be ranked in the top three of the top ten marshals, and this recognition of *** is really reasonable. In July 1947, at a critical moment in the War of Liberation, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) underwent a brutal test in that year, with the Kuomintang army attacking fiercely and almost every military region facing tremendous pressure. After Liu Deng's army took away almost all the main forces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, he was ordered to serve as the deputy commander of the Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Military Region, which can be said to be ordered in danger.

** This time to serve in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, he took the initiative to apply to the organization, he was well aware of the situation of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region at that time, and the main military and political organs and main forces were transferred, so that the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region no longer has the combat effectiveness of the past. In that case, why do you want to do it?Because he is confident that he can rejuvenate the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region again. Frankly, it wasn't easy to achieve this, but *** still chose to step up. After arriving at the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, he immediately began to preside over military training and train personnel of military organs. At the same time, he also needs to select and train candidates from among the existing personnel who have the ability to tackle tough problems and can command hard battles. ** The Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region under its leadership is facing an embattled dilemma.

If you can't defend yourself against enemy attacks, you won't be able to buy time for training and development. In this case, the best defense is offense. ** Always with an enterprising spirit, his goal is not simply to survive, but to annihilate the enemy. Xu Shuai has such courage, if other people are in his situation, just seeking self-preservation and fighting for survival space is already a great ambition. ** It is necessary not only to be responsible for combat command, but also to deal with logistical support and other issues, which can be imagined in terms of difficulty and difficulty. Although the ability of *** is very outstanding, the combat effectiveness of the troops trained in a short period of time will be relatively weak. However, ** did not plan to slowly hone this new team, but directly led them to a hard-fought battle.

** Led the troops to attack the city of Linfen, the defenders of the city were in a very special situation. Linfen City is a major transportation route, so it has become a battleground in times of war. Hu Zongnan occupied the city of Linfen, but the appearance of ***'s army disrupted his plans. Chiang Kai-shek originally planned to hand over the city of Linfen to Yan Xishan and let him engage the troops of ***, but due to some special circumstances, **'s attack broke this assumption. **When the army attacked Linfencheng, the defending enemy was divided into two parts: Yan Xishan and Hu Zongnan. Both of these troops were ordered to defend the town, and they were well-equipped, with more than 25,000 troops and nearly 600 artillery pieces. In the face of such a strong enemy, ** did not retreat, but was determined to attack the city. However, it is not easy to attack the fortification under the disadvantage of equipment, but ** is full of confidence, why is it so?

It turned out that before the outbreak of the war, Hu Zongnan tried to evacuate Linfen City, but was blocked by ***. Why did you prevent Hu Zongnan from evacuating?Facts have proved that ** has a unique vision, and he realized that after Hu Zongnan's troops left, Yan Xishan's troops would obey their orders, and it would be difficult for the two to cooperate when they stayed behind, bringing more favorable opportunities for the siege. In the end, Linfen City was conquered, and the first skillful use of diversified offensive methods achieved brilliant results. This victory not only demonstrated the talent of the army, but also became a reference case for the siege of Changchun, which is amazing. From this point of view, it is reasonable that there may be no need to send telegram guidance to ***. The marshal showed outstanding performance in the process of liberating Shanxi, and highly appreciated his development strategy and command skills.

** Not only in terms of command ability, but also in the expansion of base areas, the training of cadres, and the building of troops. Therefore, ** has full trust in *** and gives him the opportunity to make the most of his talents. For these reasons, **turn your attention to other battlefields, and rarely send telegrams when directing***.
