Su Yu, a native of Ping Village, Huaihua, Hunan, was born in 1907 in a wealthy family with dozens of acres of land. At the age of six, he began his studies in a private school, and a few years later his family moved to the city to protect his family, where he received a new education.
After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Hunan Second Division, where he began to come into contact with and accept progressive ideas, thus embarking on the road of revolution. In 1927, he participated in the Nanchang Uprising and served as the head of the guard squad of the General Headquarters.
On the way south of the rebel forces to Guangdong, the Sanhe Dam became a dangerous barrier that they had to cross. However, they were surrounded by heavy enemy forces and after a hard battle, they were finally defeated.
Su Yu followed Mr. Zhu and ** to Xiangnan, and then went to Jinggangshan. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, Su Yu participated in many anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggles in the Soviet area and made many military exploits.
In the winter of 1934, he first served as chief of staff of the Red 7th Army, and soon after he became chief of staff of the Red 10th Army. In January 1935, the Red Tenth Army was ordered to go south, encountered at Tanjiaqiao and Wang Yaowu's troops, and lost after a bitter battle.
After that, the enemy mobilized heavy troops to surround the Red Tenth Army in Huaiyu Mountain, Su Yu led the leading troops to successfully break through after a hard battle, and served as the commander of the advance division after arriving in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Soviet regions.
**, on the other hand, remained in the Soviet area due to a leg injury during the Long March, the main force of the Red Army, and persisted in the arduous guerrilla war in the south for three years. When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full force, Su Yuhe ** reunited in the New Fourth Army.
At that time, ** was the commander of the first detachment of the New Fourth Army, and Su Yu was the deputy commander of the second detachment.
* The journey of partnering with Su Yu can be said to be a good story in China's modern military history. Together, they experienced the establishment of the Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army and the victory in the decisive battle of Huangqiao, and made important contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they joined hands in Huaye, and Su Yu was in charge of military command and oversaw the overall situation. Although some of Huaye's "old qualifications" were dissatisfied with Su Yu at that time, with the resolute support of the first, Su Yu's military talents were fully displayed, leading Huaye to fight many tough battles and vicious battles, and the Huaihai Battle was to break the enemy army of 800,000 with 600,000, creating a miracle in military history.
This experience not only made them a famous partner to fear their enemies, but also led them to form a deep friendship on the battlefield of blood and fire. Unfortunately, due to physical reasons, Su Yu could not become the first choice for the commander of the Volunteer Army, but this did not affect their status and achievements in military history.
Their stories are an important part of China's modern history and deserve to be remembered forever.
If Su Yu can lead the volunteer army to Korea, then when the title is conferred, he will undoubtedly lock in a marshal seat. After a few years of recuperation, Su Yu's physical condition improved significantly, so he was appointed chief of the General Staff.
* At that time, he held the position of Deputy Prime Minister, and later served as *** Minister. In 1958, an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission was held, and Su Yu became the target of criticism at this meeting, and he had several "crimes", each of which was very serious.
* has been a long-term partner with Su Yu, and knows his personality well, and also knows that many of these "crimes" are imposed on others. But under the circumstances at the time, he could not directly defend Su Yu.
If others are allowed to take the lead in criticizing Su Yu, it is likely that they will follow the tone set by the conference, which is very unfavorable to Su Yu. In the end, he was the first to speak and criticized Su Yu.
However, the content of his speech did not follow the tone set by the conference, but criticized Su Yu's "individualism". Compared with the original "crime", "individualism" is much lighter, and ** wants to use this method to relieve Su Yu.
Su Yu understood the good intentions of ** and was very grateful to him, and then he made a review at the meeting.
Although the first review was not passed, Su Yu was not discouraged and conducted a second review. When this review ended, ** took the lead in applauding, which resonated with many, so that Su Yu's review was able to pass the test, thus avoiding further criticism.
Soon after, Su Yu was removed from the post of chief and he was transferred to the vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences. And ** also suffered an impact at this time and was forced to come to Shijiazhuang to live, and he only returned to Beijing to accept ** after his illness.
* At that time, he was in a difficult situation, but Su Yu did his best to improve his condition, and even visited the hospital many times. In addition, he also married his daughter to the son of **, which was very rare at the time.
The deep friendship between Chen Su is thus reflected.
