In the war years of hard struggle of the Chinese sons and daughters, there are many unforgettable revolutionary comrades-in-arms, especially around the people around them, and there are many perfectly coordinated comrades.
For example, "Mao Zhou" of "planning things is in Mao, and things are done in Zhou", and "Zhu Mao" of "no Zhu, where is Mao". In addition, there is another person who has a deep relationship with the chairman, and he is the general Su Yu.
Li Yinqiao, the chief of the guard, was interviewed in his later years and shared his high praise for Su Yu, including"Talent"、"Generals"with"Handsome"。
However, these words of praise have never been known, raising doubts about their deep friendship.
Why is Chairman Su Yu's thinking and achievements often overlooked? What important battles did he go through hand in hand with *** and showed a deep comradeship? Does he belong to that kind of teenager who became famous, or is he a late bloomer?
What kind of inspiration does his success bring to us?
In 1929, when the Red Army had gone through a difficult period of ten years, ** was not elected at the Seventh National Congress of the Red Fourth Army, and because of overwork and malaria, he had to temporarily go to the village deep in the Jinfeng Mountains in Yongding County to recuperate.
During this time, Su Yu was temporarily transferred to the head of the guard regiment, and his duty was to ensure the safety of the chairman. When he received the order, a little expectant expression appeared on his serious face.
Su Yu was born in 1907 in a small village in Huaihua, Hunan. When he was a teenager, he studied in a private school and was admitted to Hunan Second Normal School at the age of 17. Although he is not a brother in the same school, he has a very clear understanding of the heroic deeds of the chairman when he was young, and thus has a yearning for the revolution.
In November 1926, Comrade Su Yu joined the Chinese Communist Youth League, and then showed outstanding courage and sincerity in revolutionary activities, burning blood for the revolutionary cause.
During the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, he followed steadfastly, showing military talent that he had never had before. Such a wonderful military career is very rare and precious in our army.
Therefore, after the uprising ended, Comrade Su Yu directly joined the army and came to Jinggangshan to join the army.
On the road of revolution, ** has experienced countless bloodshed and sacrifices, but his original revolutionary intention has never wavered. His admiration for *** grew stronger and stronger, and he would even ask other comrades for the chairman's operational command skills.
However, at that time, *** did not take Su Yu, a little-known fellow, in his eyes, nor did he notice his military talent. However, just like the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, it takes an opportunity to become a "bosom friend".
**When the chairman arrived at the convalescent residence, his heart was filled with sadness and helplessness. In order to dispel this emotion, he often writes poems with his pen and uses words to express his sorrows.
And Su Yu, as the head of the guard regiment of the chairman, he knew the leader's worries, so he divided his subordinates into two parts, one part was responsible for guarding the neighborhood, and the other part was close to guard, just to reassure the chairman.
You must know that the person who served as the head of the guard regiment in the early days of the chairman of *** will generally be entrusted with important tasks. However, Su Yu was quiet and never bothered him attentively, but made the chairman pay special attention to him.
His low-key and attentive attitude made the chairman have deep trust and respect for him.
Su Yu: Returned to the ** army, went to the countryside with ***, made great achievements, and was promoted to the commander of the Red 64th Division.
Su Yu and ** appeared frequently in combat deployments, and their relationship was so close that Su Yu called the chairman "teacher" until the end of his life. In the anti-"encirclement and suppression" war, Su Yu skillfully used the chairman's military strategy, combined with his own opinions, formed a unique tactical plan, and lived up to the cultivation of *** and **.
In December 1930, Chiang Kai-shek led the army, with Jiangxi Provincial Chairman Lu Diping as the commander, and Tan Daoyuan of the 50th Division and Zhang Huizan of the 18th Division as junior officers to launch ** against Jinggangshan.
Despite the fact that the enemy was menacing and far superior to our troops in terms of military equipment and other aspects, after analysis, we realized that frontal resistance was not advisable, so we chose to adopt the strategy of roundabout operations.
Zhang Huizhan is a competitive guy who thinks very highly of himself, and we should take advantage of this to lure the enemy deep and break each one. * agreed, and asked Su Yu if he had any concrete ideas for implementation.
General Su Yu was wise and brave, and cleverly devised a plan to lure Zhang Huizan to the Longgang area and set up a large main force to ambush, successfully annihilating him. After the implementation of this plan, the chairman couldn't help but sigh: "It's really wise and brave, Su Yu has a way." ”
If such an evaluation can be given many times, then General Su Yu, with his outstanding military talent, will definitely be able to break through the limitations of seniority and become a general at the military or corps level.
However, as ill-fated as he did, his military career hit a low point. However, in the face of adversity, he showed extraordinary courage and general's bearing, and we are proud of him.
In 1932, he lost his post as political commissar of the Red Army and fell into the predicament of the Red Army. In particular, during the Fourth and Fifth Anti-"Encirclement and Suppression" struggles, several campaigns were at a disadvantage.
In this case, Su Yu was under tremendous pressure. However, in October 1933, Su Yu, who was the chief of staff of the Red Seventh Regiment, was given an important task.
He needed to reorganize the Red Seventh Regiment into an "anti-Japanese advance team", go to Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda, promote the development of the anti-Japanese movement, and finally establish a base area and wait for the convergence of large forces.
Su Yu knew that the Red Seventh Regiment was a new force, with no more than 6,000 in number, and lacked actual combat experience, and the equipment was also very scarce, so it could not break through the enemy's blockade line.
Although Su Yu reported the situation to his superiors, Bogu and Li De had already taken control of the operational command of the Red Army, and in order to carry out the "great retreat", they decided to "sacrifice the ego and take the overall situation into account", and refused to consider Su Yu's suggestion, insisting that the Red Seventh Regiment march north.
In the period of history before the "Long March", there is a little-known heroic deed. Su Yu led the Red Seventh Regiment, although even they did not know the true purpose of this mission, but for the victory of the revolution, they embarked on the journey without hesitation.
On July 30, they arrived at the Min River, the turbulent river was like the tragedy of crossing the Yi Shui when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, but they knew that only by putting them to death and resurrecting could they achieve the final victory.
In the face of the encirclement and suppression of Chiang Kai-shek's 49th and 87th Divisions, Su Yu fought alone. Although he wanted to retreat, the task required him to move on. In this case, he can only strive for the greatest victory with the least sacrifice.
After fierce fighting, the Red Seventh Regiment was finally merged with the Red Tenth Army led by Fang Zhimin and reorganized into the Red 10th Army. In this process, Su Yu's outstanding military talents were deeply appreciated and reused by Fang Zhimin.
The source network superior erroneously instructed the Red 10th Army to take the initiative to attack, but Su Yu at this time was resolutely opposed, he proposed, "With the existing equipment situation, it is impossible to fight the enemy hard", and it is recommended to stop the loss in time.
However, his suggestion was not adopted, resulting in heavy losses for the whole army on the way back to the Sujiang region, and nearly 2,000 main troops died at Huaiyushan.
Fang Zhimin, the founder of the Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Soviet regions and the Red 10th Army, once praised him as "an ambitious, courageous and talented military strategist". He admired Su Yu very much, and after successfully breaking through, he firmly said to Su Yu: "Evacuate first and carry out the order." ”
This is the most correct order Su Yu has received since the Red Seventh Army set out. However, Fang Zhimin is not only concerned about his own safety. After making arrangements, he chose to return alone to prepare for the evacuation of the large army.
However, this decision of his ultimately led to his betrayal by traitors and his unfortunate death. Despite the great difficulties and dangers he faced, he remained at his post until the very end.
In 1935, the Zunyi Conference was held to restore the leadership of the party. After the end of the Long March, he was determined to find his comrades-in-arms who remained in the south to fight, and made a special mention of Su Yu: "Who of you knows the whereabouts of my little fellow? ”
Despite the search for many organizations, Comrade Su Yu still unfortunately died, just like Comrade Fang Zhimin. The chairman bowed his head, his face full of sadness: "There are always sacrifices in revolution, and dead people often happen. ”
In May 1937, Yan'an convened a national conference of representatives of Soviet regions, but Su Yu's name appeared in the list of martyrs. However, no one knew that at this time he was at the grassroots level, wholeheartedly working for the welfare of the people.
Although Su Yu later escaped the pursuit of the Kuomintang and entered the Fujian-Zhejiang border region, the difficulties he faced were not small: he had no troops, no base areas, and no way to get in touch with the organization.
However, it was these adversities that made Su Yu grow into an outstanding leader. Drawing on the experience of Jinggangshan, he gradually grew up the ranks of revolutionaries and waged guerrilla warfare against the enemy one after another.
After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War in 1938, Su Yu led the guerrilla corps to southern Anhui, became a member of the New Fourth Army, and re-established contact with ***. The chairman spoke highly of Su Yu, believing that this man who had grown up as a guard would be able to command 400,000 troops in the future.
** With a unique eye and a deep understanding of people, Su Yu's outstanding performance on the battlefield was achieved. Whether it was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, he grew up from adversity and was good at winning more with less.
Su Yu showed his military talent in the "Weigang Ambush" and successfully fired the first shot of the New Fourth Army in Jiangxi to resist Japan; In the seven battles and seven victories between the Soviet Union and China, the army led by him annihilated a total of 5 enemies70,000 people, and their heroic performance was highly praised by the highest level.
At that time, Su Yu became the most dazzling military figure in the Southeast Theater with his outstanding military exploits, and his successive victories also made him more determined to fight against Chiang Kai-shek.
In the battles of Lunan, Laiwu, Menglianggu and other battles, Su Yu showed the military talent of "taking the head of the general directly in the ten thousand armies", and was appointed as the acting commander and political commissar of Huaye, and became famous in the first war.
In June 1948, the Central Plains was full of gunsmoke, and a fierce war was being staged, which was the famous "Battle of Eastern Henan". This was the first large-scale military battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Central Plains, and it was also a rare surprise battle in history.
Before the outbreak of the Eastern Henan Campaign, Su Yu took the initiative to put forward his own idea to ***, believing that a large-scale war of annihilation could be launched in the Central Plains. Spoke highly of his ideas and told him that if there was an emergency, he could make a decision without reporting to himself.
General Su Yu used it in the face of the disparity in strength between the enemy and us"Open the seal first, and then destroy the enemy"The battle strategy successfully exchanged our 30,000 people for the enemy's 90,000 people, and finally won the victory.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the process of liberating Kaifeng and withdrawing from Kaifeng, General Su Yu temporarily changed the battle plan twice, and with his flexible tactics, the Kuomintang army was dizzy and laid the foundation for our party's victory.
Su Yu is a military genius who is good at being flexible and seizing critical moments. His strategy of "impermanence" has won decisive victories in many wars, so he has been highly appreciated by the chairman and appointed with a heavy responsibility.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea was grim, and the chairman originally planned to let Su Yu take command, but because he was recuperating from his injuries in Qingdao at the time, he had to give up this idea.
However, Su Yu will always remember the grace of this encounter of the chairman.
Although Su Yu has been criticized by ***, this has not affected his status in ***'s heart. When Montgomery visited China in 1961, the chairman proudly said: "One of my comrades-in-arms is very good at commanding battles, and he is Su Yu.
He's from Hunan like me. Although Su Yu himself has not heard of ***'s high opinion of himself, and even the outside world has speculated that the chairman is dissatisfied with Su Yu, this is because at the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission held in 1958, ** criticized Su Yu's "dogmatism".
However, this does not mean that the deep comradeship between the two will be erased.
A guard named Han Fuyu once accompanied *** in his later years, and his name was composed of two Chinese ** scholars, Han Xin and Su Yu. When the chairman learned the news, he smiled and said, "This name is good, it contains two great military strategists of China, and you are happier than them." ”
In addition, ** had hoped to give Marshal Su Yu the rank of military rank, but he politely refused. In this regard, ** deeply regretted and praised: "Su Yu resigned three times, and his insight and talent are indeed extraordinary. ”
Li Yinqiao listed ***'s evaluation of Su Yu one by one, and said: "I'm worried that if I don't say it, the world will never know ***'s admiration for Su Yu and love for talent." ”
General Su Yu, a hero who always has his original intention and fights for the country, the people and the world. He does not fight for fame and fortune and personal future, but he has achieved remarkable feats and can be called the "God of War".
His greatness lies not only in his military exploits, but also in his loyalty and responsibility.
