In 1941, Su Yu unusually promoted Wan Haifeng, who had no independent combat experience, and promoted him to four levels in a row. This made everyone dissatisfied and puzzled, but they didn't expect that 47 years later, Wan Haifeng was awarded the rank of general.
Wan Haifeng was born in an ordinary family in Henan in 1920. His grandfather was a poor talent, and his father was a small landowner.
Because of the four walls of the family, Wan Haifeng's family has been bullied by the big landlord since he was a child. Wan Haifeng had the idea of breaking the old society, full of enthusiasm, and resolutely joined the army to fight at the age of 18.
In 1941, the Japanese army frantically attacked our army. One cold night, Su Yu presided over a military meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to immediately reverse the current situation, actively attack, and turn the passive into the active.
Su Yu saw Wan Haifeng, who was sitting in the back row, and asked him to speak.
Although Wan Haifeng did not independently command the campaign, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I believe that the key to the victory of this campaign lies in improving the overall combat effectiveness of the troops. We need to give full play to each fighter and let them do their best when it matters most. ”
Su Yu was very satisfied with Wan Haifeng's answer, and had a bold idea in his heart: to promote Wan Haifeng to the battalion commander and give full play to his strengths.
As soon as this order was issued, everyone was in an uproar, and the other officers were not satisfied and puzzled. A hairy boy with no experience actually became a battalion commander, which is simply an exceptional promotion.
Even Wan Haifeng himself was surprised and uneasy. Wan Haifeng was worried from the bottom of his heart that he would not be able to be the battalion commander and thus live up to the expectations of the organization.
* After the battle began, the battalion led by Wan Haifeng fought actively and bravely. Within three days, they successfully annihilated more than 600 enemies and won two beautiful battles. Suddenly, the morale of the whole army was high, and everyone was brave and invincible.
This battle successfully proved Wan Haifeng's ability, and also impressed other officers who were dissatisfied and puzzled.
In the later War of Resistance Against Japan, Wan Haifeng became an outstanding military talent in the wars again and again.
In 1988, at the age of 68, Wan Haifeng was awarded the rank of general.
From 1941 to 1988, Wan Haifeng spent 47 years creating one miracle after another. This also proves that Su Yuli's decision to rule out the crowd is wise.
Su Yu is Wan Haifeng's Bole, and he saw Wan Haifeng's potential ability and promoted him exceptionally. He is also an excellent leader, who knows and employs people accurately.
