sent 7 telegrams to Su Yu in a row, but Su Yu was slow to move his troops, why is this?
The incident happened on August 4, 1947, and from this day on, a total of 7 telegrams were sent to Su Yu, ordering Su Yu to lead the army into southwest Lu. It stands to reason that when the first telegram was sent from ***, Su Yu should have complied with the order and led the army into southwest Lu. However, the fact is that Su Yu did not lead his army to southwest Lu until early September.
Although in the end, Su Yu still followed the order and led the army to rush to southwest Luxi, but after all, it took so long, so *** was still more or less dissatisfied with Su Yu's behavior. At this moment, ** stood up and helped resolve the embarrassing situation between the two.
*What exactly is used to resolve it? At the beginning, 7 telegrams went straight down, why did Su Yu delay in not moving troops?
Click on it and uncover the hidden truth behind "7 telegrams did not mobilize Su Yu".
The command is sudden
Let's look back againAugust 4, 1947
On August 4, Su Yu received the first telegram from *** asking him to lead his army into southwest Lu. From the moment Su Yu saw the first telegram, he was puzzled, so he did not immediately follow the order.
And the reason why Su Yu is puzzled by this is also very simple.
After the division of troops in July, the East China Field Army was divided into three parts. Ye Fei's 1st Column and Tao Yong's 4th Column advanced into Lunan; He Yixiang's 3 columns, Wang Jian'an's 8 columns, and Song Shilun's 10 columns were led by Chen Shiyu and Tang Liang and advanced towards Luxi; Wei Guoqing's 2nd Column, Wang Bicheng's 6th Column, Cheng Jun's 7th Column, Xu Shiyou's 9th Column, and Chen Ruiting's Special Column were commanded by Chen Sutan and the three of them to fight in Luzhong.
Among them, the several columns commanded by Chen Sutan are also known as the "Huaye Outer Line Corps", and the other two parts are the "Huaye Outer Line Corps".
It is true that it is not difficult to see from the name that before August 4, 1947, Su Yu received orders to lead the army to fight and annihilate the enemy on the inner line.
It was only after the division of troops in July that the strength of the East China Field Army was also greatly dispersed, and judging from the results of seven battles and seven victories in the Soviet-Chinese Campaign, the achievements of the East China Field Army at this time were really not enough, and even the defeats in many wars also caused great losses to the entire East China Field Army.
No matter how good a general is, there will still be times when he loses.
The dispersion of troops also gave Su Yu the biggest defeat in his life - the Battle of Nanlin. Even in the course of the battle, the enemy's vulnerability opportunity was seized in time, but the huge gap in numbers still made it extremely difficult to win. The battle of Nanlin also became a sore spot that Su Yu did not want to recall.
However, even if the battle was lost, Su Yu never questioned the strategy of dividing his troops, but racked his brains to find a way to recover the disadvantage, and according to what *** said in the telegram on July 12: The more the enemy on the Jinpu line, the better.
It's just that before Su Yu could think of a safe way, on August 4th, **'s order suddenly changed! **Let Su Yu hurry to southwest Lu and cooperate with Liu Deng to fight.
Before Su Yu could recover from the information of this telegram, in the next six days, ** sent 6 telegrams in a row, all of which urged Su Yu to act quickly, and immediately rushed to southwest Lu with his troops to fight with Liu Deng. Even later, the content of the telegram changed to the troops led by Su Yu, and they had to accept the command of Liu and Deng!
There were a total of 7 telegrams before and after, all of which were urging Su Yu to act quickly, and his tone was becoming more and more urgent. But even if the tone of the telegram was anxious, Su Yu still didn't understand what kind of reason was behind these 7 telegrams.
Judging from the bright side alone, Hua Ye and Liu Deng are two completely different teams. Let's not talk about Huaye's division of troops, it was already a little difficult, but now it is necessary to move Huaye's strongest combat force led by Su Yu to southwest Lu and obey Liu Deng's command.
If, according to the order, Su Yu led his army to rush to southwest Lu, then what should happen to the original Luzhong? Moreover, the two comparable armies now all have to obey Liu Deng's orders, even if Su Yu, who is a general, doesn't care about this at all, but what about the soldiers in Huaye?
This move is undoubtedly a change of command in battle, and it is a taboo in the army! So what is the meaning behind this move? What else is Su Yu worried about?
Delay the march for January
sent 7 telegrams in a row, urging Su Yu, who was originally in charge of the internal line of operations in Huaye, to immediately lead the army to southwest Luxi, what is the meaning behind this move?
In fact, the meaning behind the ***7 telegrams has been very clear, that is, let Su Yu lead the army and cooperate with Liu Deng's army to advance south. And in addition to Su Yu's side, ** also transferred Chen Geng's corps to Henan, the purpose is still to assist Liu Deng in the war.
Although from our current point of view, ** this move is to use the word "product" tactics to approach the Central Plains from the three-way army, but at that time, before everything was formed, not everyone could see this.
However, if Su Yu, who has always been brave and good at fighting, can't see through this, it's really unlikely. So since Su Yu can understand the deep meaning behind the seven telegrams, why did he delay and hold back?
This is because Su Yu still has three concerns, and before these three concerns are resolved, Su Yu really does not dare to easily lead the army into southwest Lu. So what are these three concerns that hinder Su Yu's march?
First, the build-up of troops is not ideal.
According to the assumption in the telegram, ** wanted to gather the five columns led by Su Yu's subordinates to southwest Lu to contain the Kuomintang. From the general point of view, there is no problem, but from a practical point of view, it is very troublesome to simply assemble five columns together.
As mentioned earlier, the Huaye army, because of the dispersion of its troops, suffered a lot of losses in the confrontation with the Kuomintang, and each lost a lot of troops and columns, and was even chased and beaten by the Kuomintang.
The two-level reversal situation naturally damaged the momentum of our army. Therefore, whether it is to enhance the confidence of the army or to strengthen the already damaged troops, it is now necessary to mobilize a part of the troops and horses to rush to southwest Lu together to ensure the effectiveness of the troop buildup.
And for this point, Su Yu also applied to *** to transfer the 6 columns led by Wang Bicheng to southwest Lu. Obviously, Su Yu's concerns are also reasonable, so *** also approved Su Yu's request.
Second, change the command on the spot.
According to the instructions of the seven telegrams, after Su Yu led his troops to southwest Lu, he was to obey the command of Liu and Deng. For Su Yu personally, he naturally would not recommend obeying the command of Liu and Deng, as long as it can be beneficial to the battle situation and the result is good, then the specific process can not be taken into account.
However, Su Yu's own thoughts and wishes could not represent all the soldiers under him. In the eyes of the soldiers, if you talk about trust, you must have more of the original Huaye command. Even if in essence, whether Liu Deng or Huaye are contributing to the cause of liberation, there will still be bias in people's hearts.
Now that the command is changed on the spot, it will still have an impact on the morale of the army to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Su Yu also applied to *** and transferred ** together. After all, **'s prestige in the army is also unquestionable, and he and Liu Deng have similar qualifications, so the hearts of Huaye soldiers are somewhat settled.
Naturally, this concern is also reasonable, so *** still approves it.
Third, logistical support.
No matter what kind of battle it is, logistics support is always a big issue that cannot be ignored. For this reason, Su Yu also devoted a large part of his efforts to deploy Huaye's logistics problems.
When these three problems were properly solved, Su Yucai and ** embarked on the road to lead the army to southwest Lu. After Su Yu and his party arrived at the designated place, nearly a month had passed since *** sent 7 telegrams.
It is true that judging from Su Yu's deployment in the past month, he did not really want to disobey the orders issued by his superiors, but tried to make all the preparations before taking action. But from the perspective of time, Su Yu ignored 7 emergency telegrams, which seems to be a fact.
Therefore, even if Su Yu finally rushed to southwest Lu, ** would still feel a little uncomfortable. This can also be seen from the content of the telegram that followed.
** of wisdom
None of the 7 telegrams could command Su Yu, so he was dissatisfied, but fortunately** stood up to resolve it.
At the beginning of September 1947, Su Yu finally led his troops and felt the southwest of Lu, at this time, nearly a month had passed since the order of ***7 emergency telegrams.
On September 3, shortly after Su Yu arrived in southwest Luxi, he received another telegram. In this telegram, ** also accused Huaye of relying too much on the problem of logistical supplies, and hoped that Huaye would be able to make adjustments quickly.
Of course, this is just a simple summary of the content of the telegram, but it is not difficult to see from it that ** is still more or less dissatisfied with Su Yu's delay in his trip for nearly a month.
Su Yu can naturally see it, but he has always been bad at explaining. For Su Yu, the best thing he could think of was to prove through the final result that he did not mean to delay in the first place, nor did he not want to follow orders.
Therefore, after Chen Su and the others arrived in southwest Luxi, they also quickly integrated the army and launched a surprise attack on the Kuomintang. The effect of this battle is also obvious. In the end, it took only 3 days for our army to defeat the Kuomintang army, annihilate 57 of them, and capture the division commander Duan Linmao.
Such a victory not only dealt a huge blow to the Kuomintang, but more importantly, it washed away the shame of the repeated setbacks suffered by the Huaye army in these days, greatly improved the morale of the soldiers, and established the confidence for our army to achieve victorious results when the two armies intersected later.
It's just that when the whole army was jubilant, ** frowned.
Although he won a battle, Su Yu still delayed for nearly a month to arrive in southwest Lu under seven urgent telegrams, and he finally had to come up with an explanation.
Although judging from the previous situation, Su Yu's time for a month was not deliberately delayed, but in order to ensure that he could prepare foolproofly when fighting with Liu Deng, the relationship between *** and Su Yu became a little awkward because of this.
Su Yu has always been not good at explaining, but many things can't help but take the initiative to explain. Originally, in essence, the starting point of the two was for the sake of the overall situation, so there was really no right or wrong, so if the relationship between the two became rigid because of this, it would not be beneficial for the future liberation cause.
Since Su Yu is not that kind of person, then the matter of resolving the embarrassing situation has to be worried about by **.
However the explanation is a door technical work. If he bluntly called *** and said that Su Yu was not in vain about the 7 telegrams, but in order to better complete the task, so it took nearly a month to prepare, and I hope the chairman doesn't mind how to do it, then it will inevitably have the opposite effect.
Therefore, if you quietly give each other a step, it has become a very brain-intensive job, in other words, how to use the art of language!
Obviously, ** is a very talented person in this regard.
On September 17, 1947, after the victory in the Battle of Shatuji, ** and Su Yu also sent a telegram to **.
Although this telegram was ostensibly sent by Chen Su and the two together, in fact, it was mainly **. The main purpose of sending this telegram is not to simply report the situation of the Shatuji Battle, but the most important thing is to resolve the small suspicion between *** and Su Yu.
In this telegram, ** secretly expressed three attitudes towards resolving the embarrassing relationship between the two.
First, the main delivery unit of this telegram is not only **, but also the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu** Bureau. What does this mean? This is ** in a statement, they are acting in full accordance with the instructions of the great man and accept Liu Deng's command. This is also the first reassurance given by **.
Second, it showed that there was a determination to defeat the Kuomintang army in southwest Lu. This point is also a statement, and it also shows that they will strictly follow the previous instructions and fight in southwest Lu. This is the second appeasement given by **.
Third, to put it bluntly, the Huaye West Corps needs to be disciplined and rectified. Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, this point is not about the troops, but about the people, and it is reviewing the ****.
From these points, it is not difficult to see that ** really has a firm grasp of what is the art of language. He did not mention why Su Yu had to delay his arrival in southwest Lu in January, but he showed that Su Yu did this for a reason, and Su Yu did not ignore your orders in vain, and now he also knows that he is wrong, I hope that you will not remember the villain and expose this matter.
And after this telegram, the awkward atmosphere between ** and Su Yu is indeed gone.
Of course, we will not comment on the rights and wrongs of this matter, just saying that the art of speaking is very worth learning. Sometimes, not directly arguing but giving the other party a step down is the key to resolution.
