In 1948, Su Yu was reporting wartime intelligence to *** and others, and put forward his own planFaced with such a bold plan, the five secretaries did not dare to make a decision immediately.
In fact, *** had already sent 2 telegrams, but they were all rejected by Su Yu. The surrounding generals also looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, someone finally tried to propose that the replacement of the general be carried out according to the chairman's plan.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said it, he was rejected by **said that no one could take Su Yu's place, otherwise the whole army would be wiped out, what was going on?
Beginning in June 1946, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party deteriorated rapidly, and Chiang Kai-shek once again launched an all-out encirclement and suppression operation against the Communist Party.
At this time, the Communist Party also learned one thing, that is, any more tolerance would only condone the Kuomintang army, and the corruption of the Kuomintang army had reached an intolerable level.
In desperation, the Communist Party had no choice but to carry out an anti-encirclement campaign. At this time, the Communist Party had gone through the precipitation of every battle and had sufficient combat experience, and even if it dealt with the Kuomintang with many times its military strength, the Communist Party was not afraid at all.
After the War of Liberation began, the party leadership drew up a corresponding battle planIn the first stage, our party's combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the Kuomintang, and we could only adopt a conservative defensive offensive.
Luo Rongheng and ** were arranged to Shanhaiguan, while ** was arranged to Shandong and established the Shandong Field Army, the Central China Field Army was reorganized from the original New Fourth Army, and Su Yu served as the commander of the Central China Field Army.
* and Su Yu were already ** partners during the Anti-Japanese WarAfter a battle in the Liberation War, the revolutionary friendship between the two was one step closer at this timeAt the same time, it makes ** more admired Su Yu's combat ability.
At the end of June 1946, ** sent a telegramThe Central China Field Army was ordered to fully cooperate with the Shandong Field Army and jointly win the victory in the battle on the Jinpu Line.
Because of this, Su Yu and ** had different operational opinions, and Su Yu directly sent a telegram to change the combat plan, and ** supported ***'s combat plan.
** Attached great importance to Su Yu's opinion, and ordered Su Yu's Central China Army to stay still for the time being** However, they put forward different opinions, and if they want to win the war in one fell swoop, they can grasp the sovereignty of the negotiations.
After some deliberation by the party leaders, it was decided to fight from the inside line and then to the outside line, and Su Yu followed suit. Soon, Su Yu led the soldiers to win three battles, and when he saw this, he felt that the time was ripe, so he decided to send troops to Huaibei.
Because at that time, the Kuomintang army had already suffered successive defeats in the central Soviet region, and the Kuomintang troops in Huainan and Huaibei needed to suppress their spirit.
After calling ***, ** quickly agreed to **'s request, but at this time,However, Su Yu proposed that this battle plan was inadequate, and that the battle on the inside line should be fought first.
And that's not all,Su Yu also proposed to launch a war of annihilation against the Kuomintang army, and once again emphasized that fighting on the inner line would greatly accelerate the completion of the entire liberation war plan.
This plan is contrary to the battle plan proposed by *** at the earliestOn the one hand, it was still arranged to continue to carry out the external battle, and on the other hand, Su Yu was ordered not to carry out the transfer of troops for the time being.
* Led the army to Si County, at this time, because the battle line was relatively long, the soldiers were still in a state of exhaustion and recuperation after running all the way, which led to the failure of the attack on Si County.
At this time, ** realized that Su Yu had seen the battlefield situation too accuratelyHe also learned that the battle on the outside line was indeed not in line with the current situation, and immediately sent a telegram to Su Yu to support his battle plan.
After that, under the leadership of Su Yu, Su Yu directly led the Central China Army to win 7 battles in succession with a force of 1 to 4This is the famous "Seven Battles and Seven Victories", and Su Yu is known as the God of War.
This great victory annihilated more than 50,000 Kuomintang troops and greatly demoralized the Kuomintang army. After the war, ** reviewed and reflected on the previous failed battles, and at the same time wrote a letter of self-examination and sent it to ***
Seeing the letter written by **, he handed over the command of the battle to Su YuThe general leader was very supportive of this directive, and under the leadership of Su Yu, the communist army won several more victories.
In the middle of 1947, the first phase of the Liberation War came to an end temporarily, and the Kuomintang army's battle plan in Shandong and northern Shaanxi was defeated by the PLA, and ** and Su Yu led the army into the Henan-Anhui region.
Although our army has won a certain victory, it is still far behind the Kuomintang army in terms of materials and armamentsAs a result, the Central Plains Theater was in a stalemate.
In December, after several discussions in order to formulate a new battle planIt was decided to let Su Yu cross the Yangtze River with 3 columns.
However, Su Yu had a different view, at that time, there were three major areas in the Central Plains Theater, and the Kuomintang army intended to arrange the main force of the battlefield in the Central Plains Theater, so as long as a large-scale battle was carried out, it would definitely be able to win the battle.
This strategy may be a blow to the Kuomintang, but it is also a test for the Communist Party. **The proposed plan for crossing the river and the battle plan proposed by Su Yu have their own advantages and disadvantages.
In order to be able to express the combat plan clearly, Su Yu specially wrote a telegram of 2,000 words and sent it to *****After some discussion, the leader still insisted that Su Yu lead the soldiers to cross the Yangtze River south.
In the face of such an order, Su Yu was also worried about whether he would misestimate the situation on the battlefieldFor this purpose, we deliberately found**carried out**.
After listening to Su Yu's ideas, I felt that Su Yu's ideas and **'s orders were suitable for the current battle situation, and it was also very difficult for me to do so, and I didn't know whether to support it.
It happened that the two of them learned that *** happened to pass through Puyang, and the two of them could go to pay a visit***I would like to hear if there is a more appropriate opinion on ***.
**After listening to Su Yu's battle plan, he also understood the reason behind Su Yu's plan in detail, and praised the two of them again and again.
And *** directly suggested to Su Yu, and sent a telegram again, proposing a battle plan. **Received a telegram from Su Yu,This is the third time that Su Yu's request has been received, which also makes *** attach great importance to it.
* The leaders saw Su Yu's determination and paid attention to the battle plan againImmediately sent a telegram to ** and Su Yu, asking them to report to the base area immediately.
**After seeing Su Yu, I was very excited, not only because Su Yu had made a Humvee contribution in the army for so many years, but more importantly, Su Yu had escorted *** for a period of time 17 years ago.
At that time, *** was seriously ill, and he could only go to Yongding in order to **Because this ** plan is very important, it needs to be carried out secretly along the way.
In order to complete this task, the leader specially arranged for Su Yu to escort himOn the one hand, Su Yu did his best to complete the task, and on the other hand, under the guidance of the first, he studied Marxism and the guidance of the first-class battle at a deeper level.
I was even happier to see Su Yu again this time, and I hope to get guidance from *** again, and after a simple lunch, I convened a number of leaders to discuss the battle plan and strategy.
In order to be able to convince the leader, Su Yu put forward his ideas in detailThe first is to analyze the river crossing plan issued by **, although the river crossing plan can deplete the enemy's troopsHowever, it was difficult to completely solve the offensive of the Kuomintang army and relieve the pressure on Liu Deng's army.
In order to stop the victory over Liu Deng's army in one fell swoop, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized several important armies to the frontThis was extremely stressful for Su Yu's operation.
The second is the analysis of this battle, the PLA at that time had about 100,000 people, and if they crossed the river directly, they were inserted into the center of the Kuomintang army.
In this way, it will be strongly counterattacked by the Kuomintang army, which will directly cause more than half of the soldiersAs a result, the number of troops will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to confront the Kuomintang army.
Although it can attract firepower after crossing the river, it is difficult to destroy the enemy on a large scale, and it will also have an impact on the later operations.
If it is according to Su Yu's plan, it will mainly be a large-scale battle in the Central Plains. The reason why a large-scale battle was considered was because the Kuomintang army was still outnumbered by the PLA by a large margin.
The battlefield was most suitable in the Central Plains, which was not the main area of domination of the Kuomintang army. On the battlefield of the Central Plains, there were dozens of large and small armies of the Communist Army, which were ripe for large-scale battles, and could also get the support of the common people, making it easier to transport supplies and armaments.
Finally, the terrain of the Central Plains is more suitable for the PLA, and the enemy can be concentrated first and then eliminated togetherAs long as a certain amount of Kuomintang troops are lost in the plains, there will be no more threats in future battles.
Su Yu finished describing the whole plan, and the leaders paid more and more attention to itBegan to raise doubts and possible problems about Su Yu's battle plan one by one.
Su Yu also answered the corresponding questions, and also explained the details of the plan in more detail. affirmed Su Yu's idea, and indeed the probability of winning the plan to cross the river is not very highBut the crisis of Liu Deng's army also needs to be resolved.
but suddenly said that he wanted to change the generals and carry out the words according to the original planSu Yu heard ***'s words, and did not answer immediately, but just looked at the chairman quietly.
**It is directly proposed, and it is not the most suitable choice to change the generalMore importantly, Su Yu was able to keep a part of his troops by carrying out the plan to cross the river, and if others led the troops, the entire army might be wiped out.
*'s words were like a punch, slamming into everyone's hearts, and the whole conference room fell silent for a while, and after a while, ** suddenly laughed again, and offered to discuss it again, ** and Su Yu were ready to leave.
Before leaving, *** confirmed to Su Yu that he was willing to stick to his battle plan even if he couldn't lead the troops? Su Yu said that he was willing to obey the arrangements of his superiors, but he still advocated the implementation of the battle plan he proposed.
At this time, *** has decided to implement Su Yu's planHowever, it was only after discussion with the other four secretaries that the order could be issued.
Su Yu and ** waited anxiously, and finally waited for the news of ***. ** smiled and gave Su Yu the order to fightSupported Su Yu's plan, transferred troops to the Central Plains theater north of the Yangtze River, and annihilated the main force of the Kuomintang army in the Central Plains.
Sure enough, this battle was as Su Yu expectedfirst annihilated the troops of the Guoming Party District Shou Nian, and then defeated the armies of Qiu Qingquan and Huang Baitao.
In the end, Su Yu led the People's Liberation Army to win the Battle of Eastern HenanThe entire situation in the Central Plains has been determined and has become a new process.
