Chen Geng and Su Yu are both famous generals in history, the two established immortal feats during the war, although both of them are commanding battles on their respective battlefields, but there are many similarities, their tactics have the characteristics of adapting measures to local conditions, flexible and changeable, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two were awarded the founding generals, Su Yu is also the head of the generals, which shows the outstanding military talent of the two. Chen Geng's personality is very cheerful, leaving a humorous and witty impression, few people see him lose his temper, but in 1955, he didn't take into account the feelings of his old comrades-in-arms and angrily scolded Su Yu's secretary, why is this?
Compared with Chen Geng, Su Yu joined the revolution later, on the one hand, he was 4 years younger than Chen Geng, and on the other hand, he did not have Chen Geng's family background from Jiangmen. When Su Yu participated in the revolution, Chen Geng was already the commander of the infantry section of the Whampoa Military Academy, and they fought in their respective teams, and both later participated in the Nanchang Uprising, when Su Yu was the guard squad leader, and Chen Geng was the battalion commander, one was under General Ye Ting, and the other fought side by side with Mr. He. Although they both participated in the Nanchang Uprising, they did not cross paths because they were not in the same army.
In the later years of the war, both men showed excellent command and combat skills, when both were already famous generals in the army, and both had heard of each other's big names but had not had the opportunity to get acquainted, and at that time they were still commanding different armies to participate in battles, and they did not meet for the first time until 1947. At that time, Chen Geng was the secretary of Chen Geng's corps, and Su Yu was the deputy commander of Huaye, Chen Lao was always the commander at that time, but Huaye's military commander was actually Su Yu.
In September of this year, Su Yu led his troops to the Central Plains on the way, and found an abnormality in the Kuomintang army, and he judged from the enemy's frequent troop movements that the enemy wanted to concentrate his forces to fight Liu Deng's army first. ** Approved the battle plan, under the command of Su Yu and the cooperation of Chen Geng, the two armies annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops in one fell swoop, and took more than 50 important military towns.
After this battle, Chen Geng admired Su Yu's military talent very much, and when someone questioned Su Yu's ability, Chen Geng directly said, "Su Yu can't fight?" So who will still fight, please stand up! Through this passage, it can be seen that Chen Geng's maintenance and support for Su Yu. And Su Yu also admires Chen Geng's command ability very much, the two can be said to cherish each other, and then recall the incident of participating in the Nanchang Uprising together 20 years ago, so that they have become old comrades-in-arms who hate to see each other late, and the two of them also have amazing similarities in tactical arrangements.
During the Huaihai Campaign, when Su Yu besieged Huang Baitao's corps, in the face of the enemy's Zimu Fort Group, Su Yu did not hesitate to change his tactics, changed the strong attack to a close operation, dug out a communication trench 30 to 50 meters away from the enemy's position, and then quickly broke through the enemy's impregnable Zimu Fort Group. Coincidentally, Chen Geng also encountered the same situation when encircling and annihilating Huang Wei's corps, and he also adopted the tactics of close coercion and took the enemy's position in one fell swoop. It can be seen that both of them are flexible and changeable military commanders, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they also took on the important task of military development.
In 1955, Su Yu served as the chief of the General Staff at that time, and Chen Geng was the deputy, and later during Su Yu's recuperation, most of the work was taken care of by Chen Geng, Chen Geng was experienced and worked hard, but he also made mistakes. On one occasion, the Xinhua News Agency asked the War Department of the General Staff Department to examine and commend the draft of a division, and at that time, the head of the War Department was carrying out the work of a foreign guest of the Soviet Union, and it was inconvenient to work, so he asked him to send this document to Chen Geng for examination, but when the document was sent to Chen Geng, it was already midnight, and Chen Geng was woken up from his sleep.
In the end, this draft was sent out, but there was no matter of commending a division of the army at all, at this time, the Military Commission was held accountable, and at this time, the Minister of Operations and Chen Geng knew that there was an oolong, so the two admitted their mistakes and took responsibility, and at this time, Su Yu, who was recuperating, knew that he was the chief of staff and also took responsibility, and through this matter, he could see the friendship between old comrades-in-arms, and the spirit of daring to take responsibility.
Since then, Chen Geng has worked more seriously and carefully, but he was still criticized by Mr. Peng, the reason is that Chen Geng wrote a report, Mr. Peng was very angry after reading it, and Chen Geng was also surprised when he saw this report, he clearly did not write this report, but the positive payment was his own name, and he could only go back to check the truth. Chen Geng asked his secretary around, but no one knew about it, which made Chen Geng more and more annoyed, and then Su Yu's secretary came over and timidly admitted the matter.
Chen Geng held back the fire in his belly, and at this time he vented it on Secretary Su Yu, angrily reprimanding him for "it turned out to be a good thing you did", and then criticized him for being bold. Chen Geng, who has always had a kind personality, got angry at this time for many reasons, at that time, he was under great pressure at work, his physical condition was also very poor, and he often couldn't sleep well, plus he was criticized by Mr. Peng, so he couldn't help but get angry. It can be seen that the general is also a mortal, and it is this that allows the world to see the flesh-and-blood General Chen.
