In 1945, neither the practical problem of people's livelihood fatigue nor the heavy task of reconstruction after the war could prevent the Chinese Communist Party from becoming Chiang Kai-shek's hatred.
As the Kuomintang gathered heavy troops and marched towards the liberated areas of the Chinese Communists, Chiang Kai-shek's sinister intentions were revealed.
At the moment of life and death, an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the Shandong Field Army was placed on the desk of ***. This telegram came from the commander of the Shandong Field Army**.
**Pick up the telegram, although I haven't read it yet, I have already guessed the general content. In the telegram, Comrade **'s tone was unusually angry and fierce. "They are still stubborn and continue to stay in the Central Plains of the Soviet Union! I can't make sense of it! "What made Comrade ** feel that he could not explain the reason clearly was another field army of our army at that time - the Central China Field Army.
The most difficult contradiction for Grandpa Mao to deal with was the disagreement between Su Yu, the commander of the Central China Field Army, and **. Both of them are Grandpa Mao's favorite generals, and when they encounter contradictions, Grandpa Mao is also very helpless, so he can only be peacemakers, persuading both sides.
However, after several persuasions, the effect is not obvious. This disagreement was only the beginning of the contradiction between ** and Su Yu, and two similar disagreements occurred later. It is normal to have disagreements, but it is surprising that this disagreement actually appeared in the old partner who is respectfully called "Chen does not leave Su, Su does not leave Chen".
What caused the rift between the brothers who lived and died? How did it happen? Did the friction strain their relationship?
* The encounter with Su Yu seems to have been destined for a long time. In 1927, on August 1 of that year, the Communist Party of China launched an armed uprising in Nanchang, Jiangxi, starting a rebellion against the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang.
This day is also designated as China's Army Day, which is of far-reaching significance.
* The CCP fighters led by Su Yu fired an exciting "first shot" in Nanchang, but the enemy's counterattack made the victory not last. The CCP evacuated Nanchang according to the original plan and moved to various places in order to meet again in the future.
However, the fierce pursuit of the enemy broke up many ranks of our party and made the implementation of the plan difficult. In October of the same year, the revolting party was exhausted in the mountains on the border with Guangdong, but they did not give up, but continued to persevere.
Here, ** and Su Yu met, and their fate began to change.
After the Nanchang Uprising, our army planned to march towards Chaoshan, but encountered the enemy's "encirclement and suppression". In order to get out of the predicament, the party organization decided to transfer the troops in two ways. Among them, the main team led by Ye Ting and ** successfully occupied Chaoshan; ** led another team towards the Three Rivers Dam.
However, the main forces did not go well in Chaoshan, and soon suffered another defeat. ** of the team is also under pressure to shift. During the transfer, three teams met: the Ninth Army of **, the 25th Division of the 11th Army, and the 20th Army Teaching Regiment where Su Yu was.
* The two teams led by him are the remnants of the retreat from Chaoshan, and the total number of the three teams combined is less than 2,000. After the Nanchang Uprising, ** became the instructor of the 11th Regiment of the 25th Division of the 73rd Army, a position that is actually not important.
When assigning the task, **apologized** because he thought the position was too small for **, but he didn't mind. ** believes that although the position is not large, the task is not simple, which shows *** Thoughtful and trusting **.
* The team led by the later famous "Iron Army" - Ye Ting Independent Regiment, who marched all the way in the National Revolution. However, when he first took office, he faced management problems, because soldiers generally hated the "civilian officers" in the ranks.
In the eyes of the soldiers, "civilian officials" have no real role on the battlefield, only talk empty big truths, and also like to lose their temper with their subordinates. This was a major problem in the ranks of the revolution at that time due to the contradictions between the rank-and-file soldiers and the political governors.
* At the beginning of his tenure, his prestige was greatly affected, and he was even called the "five-skin chief".
"Chief Wupi" :* the contemptuous name of the couple and the political commissar Under difficult conditions, ** and his wife worked together with Comrade Su Yu and undertook the task of transporting supplies.
However, they were not swayed by the scornful title of "five-skinned chief" (a political commissioner who wore leather shoes, leather gloves, a leather whip, a leather bag, and a belt) and persevered in their task.
Their deeds demonstrate their indomitable spirit and tenacious work attitude.
During the difficult transportation task, the migrant workers could not bear the hardships of the march and fled one after another. In order to complete the task, the soldiers had to carry their burdens, and the already heavy supplies on their bodies made it difficult for them to walk.
This is a true portrayal of the battlefield, where the soldiers carried the burden of the country and the people on their shoulders.
In Su Yu's memory, the days of learning the spirit of the Red Army were extremely arduous, and the rugged mountain roads, the merciless sun, and the constant dripping sweat were all deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.
On October 7, 1927, in Shangrao Town, Guangdong, the senior generals of the three teams discussed the future road. At the meeting, two completely different points of view emerged, and some comrades believed that the possibility of breaking through the encirclement of more than 20,000 Kuomintang troops was very small, and suggested that the troops be disbanded and transferred in concealment.
However, another part of the comrades, led by **, insisted that the ranks should be interspersed to the northeast and transferred to Hunan, and that the fire must be kept for the sake of the revolutionary cause.
Under the command of Comrade **, the team embarked on the road to the north, but encountered the enemy's "encirclement and suppression", and half of the comrades**. During the battle on October 17, Comrade ** deployed a team to be responsible for blocking the enemy and covering the transfer of the main forces.
This battle became the most thrilling of Su Yu's life, bullets shot in from the ear and from the other side, blood kept gushing out, and he fainted to the ground in an instant. Before he fell unconscious, he heard the company commander take his shell gun and tell him in a trembling voice.
When Su Yu struggled to wake up from the pile of dead men and found that the troops were no longer in place, he gritted his teeth and vowed to catch up with the team. On the way, he met some stragglers, who quickly helped him with his wounds and then pursued the team together.
By the end of October, the three teams had finally gotten rid of the Kuomintang's "encirclement and suppression," but many high-ranking cadres had left one after another, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the team that had suffered repeated setbacks.
After the commander of the 11th Division and several regimental commanders of the 25th Army left one after another, several company commanders could not sit still, and they found the instructor Comrade **.
If we are defeated by a group of rich landlords, then what is the use of the regular Kuomintang army not defeating us? We had to change into plain clothes and rush to Shanghai as soon as possible. ”
At that time, the number of the three teams had dropped from more than 2,500 to more than 900. ** Hold on to the faith, he said that during the march, every day people with weak ideas left the ranks, and his perseverance gathered faith for the remaining fighters.
In 1929, ** began to be responsible for "expanding the red", and Su Yu has been following comrades *** and **, and has become the chief of staff of the corps step by step in the main force.
During the Anti-Japanese War, ** and Su Yu served as the commander of the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army respectively, and the two began to work together again. Later, the first and second detachments were merged into the Jiangnan Command, with ** as the commander and Su Yu as the deputy commander.
They were both literate and military, focusing on political work, while Su Yu was in charge of military operations and training, and the complementary advantages of the two were brought into full play. Therefore, there is a saying that "Chen does not leave Su, Su does not leave Chen", and their relationship during this time is very close, just like wearing the same pair of pants.
In 1940, the decisive battle of Huangqiao became a classic battle in which they cooperated, and it was also a rare battle in the history of our army in which the weak defeated the strong. In this battle, Chen Su commanded 5,000 fighters under his command, successfully annihilated more than 11,000 enemy troops, and even captured the commander of the enemy's 33rd Division alive.
Under the rapid offensive of our army, the commander of the enemy's army fled in a hurry, and even fell into the water and drowned. It was this battle that opened up the glory of our army in the battlefield in Central China, and every detail of this victory was carefully planned by the military commander Su Yu.
The two battlefield partners have left a good story in the party's history, however, they also had three strategic differences. The first disagreement occurred when there was a huge disparity in the strength of the Kuomintang and Communist armies, and ** was forced to let Liu Deng's army and **'s Shandong Field Army besiege the Kuomintang army on the outer line and march south, while the Central China Field Army led by Su Yu on the inner line was sent to respond.
However, Su Yu had a different view from ***, and he firmly believed that it was more appropriate for the Central China Field Army to stay in the base area to fight the enemy. Through in-depth discussions, Su Yu's experience and judgment were recognized, and he was able to stick to his own ideas.
However, Comrade ** always adhered to the original plan and firmly believed that fighting on the inner front would not work. Therefore, during this period of time, the Shandong Field Army, the Central China Field Army and the ** command headquarters continued to adhere to their own views and did not back down.
In view of this, ** can only mediate in person, but the effect of mediation is not obvious. Just when the two sides were arguing, Su Yu's side reported frequent good news, winning more with less, and defeated the Kuomintang army in Central China, which had four times the strength of our army.
When the news came, ** clapped his hands and immediately sent a telegram, demanding that the whole army learn from Comrade Su Yu and take Comrade Su Yu as an example.
In the confrontation with the enemy, the side of ** suffered setbacks and lost more than two thousand soldiers. Afterwards, he conducted a deep reflection and expressed his complete approval of Comrade Su Yu's strategic decision.
However, then in the battle of the two Huai, there was a second disagreement between ** and Su Yu. **personally instructed** to learn strategy and tactics from Su Yu, but in the actual battle, **misjudged the direction of attack of the enemy's main force.
During this period, Su Yu repeatedly provided advice and suggestions, clearly stating that the enemy's targets were Huai'an and Huaiyin. Despite this, ** still had its own considerations, but it suffered another defeat, which made the war situation in East China passive.
Mao Anying's sacrifice hit ** deeply. At the post-event meeting, Comrade ** openly admitted his mistake and stressed that it was incredible that this setback had struck again.
After the defeat of the Lianghuai Operation, according to the chairman's instructions, ** and Su Yu fought side by side again, the two armies were merged, Comrade ** served as commander, and Su Yu was the deputy commander.
However, the contradictions after the merger have not been alleviated, but have intensified to the peak. Although the two armies were nominally merged, they were still separate in practice, and Su Yu advocated that the forces of the two armies should be combined to deal with enemy attacks.
Su Yu** was eager to return to Shandong, and proposed two plans side by side or separately. **This move aroused the dissatisfaction of the senior generals of the Central China Field Army, who believed that he deliberately went against the grain, so he complained directly to his superiors.
**Immediately criticized**, emphasizing that ** leading the two armies, all major decisions must be decided by all members together, and Su Yu is responsible for "military strategic command".
In fact, the three disagreements between Su Yu and ** were later hyped by some as evidence of their discord, but this is not the case. In the following battles, Su Yu led the two armies to many victories, and he was also completely subdued.
Whenever a battle is won, ** will be happy to chant a poem.
Chen Su was at odds"This view is untenable. The Chinese Communists promote progress with self-denial and self-improvement, and this kind of broad-mindedness and courage are essential qualities for them.
Once or two disagreements are considered"Discord"It's ridiculous.
