Su Yu started in Ye Ting's 24th Division training troops, and since then, General Su Yu has magically been inextricably linked with the number "three" in the years of Rong Ma Xuan, and this article only introduces a small part, in order to commemorate this great founding general who made great contributions to New China.
1. General Su Yu's three most.
General Su Yu is good at "immortal battles", often win more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, he is good at seizing the opportunity, turning the disadvantage into an advantage, turning the defense into an attack, the famous "seven battles and seven victories" is a classic.
However, Su Yu is not only passionate about war, he also has many personal hobbies, and his three favorite things are horseback riding, driving, and "nibbling" a map.
Although Su Yu was born in a literati family, he admired the heroic posture of a high-headed horse and a dragon since he was a child, so he learned to ride since he was a child, and as long as he had time, he always liked to ride on a horse.
How is General Su Yu's riding skills? The author gives an example here, from which we can see how good General Su Yu's riding skills are.
During the arduous War of Resistance Against Japan, Su Yu had repeatedly gone deep behind enemy lines to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army, and long-distance marches and frequent transfers were commonplace for him, so many of General Su Yu's battles were held immediately.
The scene of the immediate meeting was a bit funny, Su Yu took the lead, and the other generals rode their horses to follow, followed behind, followed behind, only General Su Yu, who presided over the meeting, sat on the horse, facing the generals, Su Yu sat on the horse, although the mountain road was difficult to walk, but it did not affect his command.
General Su Yu also has a hobby, which is driving cars.
During the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek, the "chief of logistics," had "sent" many American vehicles to General Su Yu. With his own car, Major usually doesn't ride a horse.
General Su Yu preferred to drive himself rather than himself. Under the guidance of a professional driver, General Su Yu quickly learned how to drive the "Iron Pimple".
When he went out, Su Yu often excitedly got into the cab, asked the driver to sit down next to him, and drove away by himself.
This happened from time to time, because of this incident, the general's driver was blamed by many leaders. Fortunately, Su Yu would come out to explain to him every time, so that he could suffer less sin.
One of General Su Yu's three hobbies is that he likes to "gnaw" on maps.
General Su Yu's favorite thing is maps, he not only reads maps, but also likes to collect and collect maps, legend has it that all generals who are good at fighting have such a habit.
For every major battle, Su Yu always had to stay in front of a map for a long time, which he called "gnawing on the map", and the best record of "gnawing the map" was to stare at a map for three consecutive days, until he memorized the river, the bridge, the mountain, and the road.
General Su Yu once said to the generals below: "In the hearts of the soldiers, it is on a picture."
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Su Yu was still a person who loved paintings, and on the walls of his residence, there were Taiwan, North Korea, India, the old Soviet Union, and Vietnam.
2. The "Three Nos" principle put forward by Su Yu in the Huaihai Campaign
General Su Yu's "heirloom work" - the Huaihai Campaign, under the leadership of Su Yu, from Huang Botao to Huang Wei, and then to Du Yuming, a total of three steps, seven days and seven nights without sleep, tired and sick.
Su Yu, like many veterans, also wrote his own memoirs of the Anti-Japanese War, but in his autobiography, there is no record of the Huaihai Campaign, which makes many people feel unbelievable. General Su Yu and his wife Chu Qing happened to talk about the events of this period, and he said that there were three battles that brought him unprecedented pressure, namely "Subei", "Eastern Henan", and "Huaihai Campaign".
Su Yu also told his wife Chu Qing that on the issue of the Huaihai Campaign, he adhered to the "three nos" principle, first, not to read any books related to the Huaihai Campaign, and second, not to read any books about the Huaihai Campaign; TV series and movies about the Battle of Huaihai are not seen; About the Battle of Huaihai, there is no writing. How so?
The author believes: First, in the Huaihai Campaign, 600,000 people defeated 800,000 people, which is an amazing fact, and it is also for this reason that General Su Yu, who has always kept a low profile, does not want to make himself too loud.
Second, when later writers wrote dramas, films, and television works about the Huaihai Campaign, they failed to seek truth from facts, objectively and impartially reproduce them, so that they exaggerated and distorted the true face of the Huaihai Campaign, and he felt that by doing so, he was failing the tens of thousands of compatriots who died in the Huaihai Campaign, which was disrespectful to history and the greatest disrespect to the martyrs.
Third, Su Yu has fought many victories in his life, among which the Huaihai Battle is the most brilliant, but "one will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither", there are also thousands of young People's Liberation Army, Su Yu, military career, "chivalrous and soft", every time it is mentioned, it can always remind people of the sad past of those deceased comrades, which makes people sigh.
Therefore, in Su Yu's memoirs of the Anti-Japanese War, there is no record of the Huaihai Campaign, but his wife Chu Qing is a careful person, she still remembers a few words about the old chief, and after her memories and sorting, she wrote a book "Su Yu Talks about the Huaihai Campaign" to fill this gap.
Let us remember history, remember the martyrs who shed blood and sacrificed for the sake of New China, did not forget their original intentions, and fought hard for the strengthening of the country!
