After being released from prison after the amnesty, Wang Yaowu only made one request: he wanted to see General Su Yu.
Capture the capital and capture the emperor alive". "After I was released from prison, I longed to meet General Cao Cao. ”
Before the founding of New China, Wang Yaowu was captured by our army because he was an enemy of the people, and was sent to Gongdelin for reform. During the next decade-long period of rehabilitation, he became one of the first people to be pardoned and released from prison because of his active cooperation in rehabilitation.
Everyone thinks that the first people Wang Yaowu wants to see after he is released from prison should be his wife and children, but the people he wants to see most after being released from prison are General Su Yu.
1. The Birth of the Anti-Japanese Iron Army Wang Yaowu was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek when he was young and vigorous, and received a school education, believing that soldiers should take obedience to orders as their duty and be loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1941, the Battle of Shanggao in Jiangxi broke out, and Wang Yaowu was ordered to meet the Japanese army. The Japanese army attempted to completely destroy the squadron along the Ganjiang River by capturing Poyang County, and then taking Shanggao, Gao'an and other places.
The 19th Route Army and Wang Yaowu fought side by side to resist the Japanese attack.
Company Commander Fan Fengchun faced the enemy on the front line, and in order to prevent enemy planes from bombing our camp, he led his soldiers to bravely move forward under the cover of mortars and start a white-knuckle battle with the enemy.
With the assistance of Wang Yaowu's troops, he successfully annihilated the enemy army and occupied Jigongling.
In this battle, we were victorious, paying the price of 500 enemies, and Company Commander Fan Fengchun died heroically. The terrain advantage of Jigongling laid the foundation for the victory of our army.
On March 24, the Japanese had committed 3,000 troops, and there were hundreds of planes overhead as cover.
In the face of the wanton and indiscriminate bombing of enemy planes, our army held its position in Baimao Mountain, swore not to retreat, and countless soldiers died bravely, successfully delaying the enemy's offensive. In the end, with the support of Wang Yaowu and the soldiers of the 74th Army, our army repelled the enemy army and annihilated nearly 2,000 enemy troops, which greatly delayed the enemy's retreat plan.
The entry of Wang Yaowu's troops allowed the enemy troops on the south bank of the Geum River to be completely cleared. On March 27, the Japanese army, supported by aircraft, counterattacked the encirclement of the squadron and tried to break through.
In the previous days of fighting, the squadron had successfully completed the encirclement of the Geumhe area.
The Japanese army threw poison gas bombs, and our soldiers were not afraid of life and death, bravely moved forward, launched a fierce attack, and desperately left the Japanese troops behind. In the end, in the battle on March 28, the main forces of our army successfully surrounded the Japanese army.
Wang Yaowu commanded the 57th Division and launched an attack on the Japanese army in Guanqiao Town. As the battle gradually heats up, the two armies in the town engage in fierce street fighting. It was not until late evening that the town of Guanqiao was successfully recovered, and all the Japanese troops in this area were annihilated.
In this battle, we managed to eliminate nearly 20,000 Japanese troops, including two Japanese commanders, Major General Iwanaga and Osaku Hamada. In addition, we shot down ten enemy planes, captured nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers, and captured a large amount of war materiel and ten mortars.
The 25-day Battle of Shanggao came to an end, and our army won the victory with an overwhelming advantage, and General He Yingqin praised this battle as "the most wonderful battle". After the war, General Wang Yaowu was awarded the highest honor "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal" by Chiang Kai-shek for his outstanding contributions, and the 74th Army was also awarded the "Flying Tiger Banner" for his heroic performance.
Second, Wang Yaowu's fierce rival "Su Yu", although he has never met his family and friends, he often meets his rival. How did they get to know each other?What about the relationship between the two?
What kind of secret is hidden behind this?The first meeting between the two generals was in the Battle of Tanjiaqiao, Wang Yaowu, as a famous general, was born in the Whampoa Military Academy, left a strong mark on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and personally cultivated the 74th Division, one of the five aces.
He was awarded the "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun" by Chiang Kai-shek, and was the most outstanding military strategist and war commander in the Kuomintang army. He showed outstanding talent in his first command, and was highly appreciated by his superiors, and since then he has been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a captain company commander.
In 1934, Wang Yaowu participated in many encirclement and suppression battles against the Red Army, and in November of the same year, in the Battle of Tanjiaqiao, he met General Su Yu for the first time. In this battle, the supply brigade led by General Su Yu encountered the Red Tenth Regiment led by General Su Yu on the way.
In the initial encounter, Wang Yaowu led his subordinates to behave very cautiously and did not attack rashly. In the process of fleeing, Su Yu's troops saw the supply brigade chasing after them, so they immediately counterattacked.
However, he underestimated the strength of the supply brigade led by Wang Yaowu. As a result, **, with the advantage of sophisticated equipment and full state, he waited for work at ease and caught Su Yu's troops off guard.
At that time, the command of the troops was not in Su Yu's hands, which led to improper command, and finally the troops were defeated by Wang Yaowu.
This passage tells the story of two warriors who formed a bond in battle, with Su Yu saying that he would be buried at Tanjiaqiao after his death to commemorate the dead heroes. And Wang Yaowu was praised for his excellent performance.
In this battle, only Su Yu survived, and both the regiment commander and the political commissar died in the battle.
In the process of retreating, Comrade Fang Zhimin unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy. However, this did not stop General Su Yu's rise to prominence, but instead became a catalyst for his growth.
After this breakout, he rebuilt an advance division and began his military career. From then on, General Wang Yaowu also began to notice Su Yu's talent. The two commanders observed each other, and each felt the other's power.
The defeat in the Battle of Tanjiaqiao made Su Yu realize that Wang Yaowu was a difficult opponent to deal with. In the days that followed, Su Yu's office was filled with information about Wang Yaowu, and he was determined to get to know the formidable foe.
He foresaw that there would be a fierce duel between the two in the future, and General Su Yu had always regretted Tan Jiaqiao. Wang Yaowu's performance in the aftermath was highly praised by Chiang Kai-shek, and he was sent to the rich northeast.
With his outstanding military command skills, Wang Yaowu won many victories, quickly accumulated a large number of military merits, and finally became the commander of the 66th Division of the Kuomintang Army. In the days that followed, he continued to achieve numerous victories on the battlefield with his military prowess.
Based on the supply brigade, General Su Yu single-handedly built the best elite division - the 74th Army. Unlike Wang Yaowu, General Su Yu always buried it deep in his heart after suffering this defeat.
Even on his deathbed, he asked his son Su Rongsheng to scatter his ashes near Tanjiaqiao. All this shows how hard the defeat of this campaign hit General Su Yu, but he quickly picked himself up from the loss.
General Su Yu relied on the advance division he formed single-handedly and established a great reputation in the war. Known as one of the four main forces of the Red Army, this Red Army is known for its heroic performance of invincibility and invincibility.
General Su Yu was known as the "Victorious General" because of his excellent command skills and flexible tactics, and he was good at winning by surprise. However, the two generals did not fight in the same area, one was sent by Chiang Kai-shek to the northeast, and the other was engaged in guerrilla warfare in the Jiangsu region.
After the Battle of Tanjiaqiao, there was not much intersection between them. However, the second meeting between the two old enemies took place in the Northeast Theater.
3. The old enemy reunited, Wang Yaowu was captured In 1946, on the battlefield of Shandong, Su Yu led the army to go on the expedition, and after hearing that the first general in the northeast was Wang Yaowu, he was very cautious, knew himself and the enemy, and won all battles.
Before the war, he discussed strategies with General **, commander of the East China Field Army.
During the discussion, we decided to adopt the strategy of attacking the east and the west, going deep behind enemy lines and destroying Zhang Lingfu's troops first. Zhang Lingfu held the trump card of the 74th Army in his hand, with no one in his eyes and an arrogant attitude.
The fall of Zhang Lingfu and the 74th Division was like losing his right-hand man for Wang Yaowu. In the confrontation with Su Yu, Zhang Lingfu did not take him seriously, Chiang Kai-shek expected a decisive victory, while Zhang Lingfu hoped to delay for a while, wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and wipe out the East China Field Army in one fell swoop.
However, Zhang Lingfu's arrogance sent him directly to Huangquan Road, and when the 74th Army was besieged, it was still unable to break through despite having the top equipment in the United States.
In the Battle of Menglianggu, Zhang Lingfu was surrounded by the East China Field Army because of his eagerness to make meritorious contributions. He began to realize his dangerous situation, but the incompetence of the reinforcements made the situation worse.
Huang Baitao's troops were quickly defeated after making contact with our army, and Li Tianxia's troops also looked down on Zhang Lingfu, and symbolically fired a few shots after encountering the enemy's resistance, and then reported that they could not advance in an ambush.
Zhang Lingfu, who received the report, was very anxious, he knew that the general situation was gone, and left a suicide note hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would treat his wife and children well.
The battle of Maoling Mountain began on September 17, 1948, and after fierce fighting, the two heights of Maoling and Yanchi were captured by our army. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole city of Jinan.
At this time, Wang Yaowu's troops had been holding on for 8 days and 8 nights, and had done their last bit in the face of internal and external difficulties. However, Wang Yaowu was unable to return to the sky, and was ready to disguise himself and escape back to his hometown in the crowd.
The reason for Wang Yaowu** is laughable, he was reported by his fellow villagers for using toilet paper. At that time, the people in that poor and remote area did not even have such high-end items as paper paper, so they used soil and hay to solve their problems.
After discovering this situation, the villagers reported it to the local People's Liberation Army, and our soldiers finally succeeded in capturing Wang Yaowu after careful searching. Subsequently, Wang Yaowu was imprisoned in Gongdelin and began his career as a prisoner of war.
In 1959, the Supreme People's Court decided to release a group of high-ranking Kuomintang officers who had been actively reformed in prison, including Wang Yaowu, under the impetus of Chairman ***.
After being released from prison, Wang Yaowu was asked who he wanted to see the most, and many people thought that he would choose his wife and children, however, it was General Su Yu who he wanted to see the most. It turned out that Wang Yaowu and Su Yu were old acquaintances, and in the early years, Wang Yaowu had heard Su Yu's evaluation of him: "In the Kuomintang army, the two strongest generals in command of operations are none other than Wang Yaowu and Du Yuming.
Compared with Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu is more stable, even in adversity, he can remain calm, deal with it calmly, and not fall behind. ”
After Wang Yaowu was released from prison, he was always concerned about meeting General Su Yu. They already have a good heart, and if it weren't for the different camps, they might be able to become close friends.
Wang Yaowu took his loss to General Su Yu for granted.
In the war, the two were opponents, but after the war, they sat together, raised a glass and drank together, laughed and grudges, and let the past grievances go away with the wind. During the war, many generals deviated from the right path and went their separate ways, but their contributions will not be forgotten and will always be remembered.
After the official founding of the People's Republic of China, the state gave them the opportunity to start over, and we insisted on treating others with generosity, but we could not be bullied by others because of our kindness.
