As we all know, he is the head of the founding generals, and his life achievements are impressive, and he directly eliminated 800,000 enemies in the later period of the Liberation War.
However, at the beginning, there were three people who were not convinced by Su Yu, and all three of them were later the founding generals of our country.
Who are the three of them?
Xu Shiyou was born in Hubei Province (now Henan), his family was very poor, and Xu Shiyou was very able to eat since he was a child, and his family had no money to support him, so when Xu Shiyou was eight years old, he was sent to Songshan Shaolin Temple.
Later, in order to fight the grievances, the landlord's son was killed by mistake, Xu Shiyou had no choice but to leave the Shaolin Temple, and Xu Shiyou decided to sign up for the army in order to have enough to eat.
In the army, Xu Shiyou came into contact with our party, and our party people felt that Xu Shiyou was a talent who could develop, so they began to do ideological work for Xu Shiyou, and later Xu Shiyou found that our party was sincerely serving the people, so he joined the Chinese Communist Youth League in 1926.
In 1927, Xu Shiyou left the army and returned to his hometown, and a few months after the coup d'état by Lao Chiang, Xu Shiyou joined our party, and then participated in the Jute Uprising.
Since then, I have been following our party.
In the Red Army, Xu Shiyou fought well, and every time he bravely took the lead in raising the morale of the troops, so his position has been rising. In 1932, Xu Shiyou was already the commander of the main division of the Red Army, and his boss at that time was Chen Geng, the founding general of the same name as Su Yu.
When the enemy encircled and suppressed Hubei, Henan and Anhui, Xu Shiyou served as the captain of two death squads, rushed to the enemy, and finally caused himself to be seriously injured.
Later, because of Xu Shiyou's outstanding performance, he was promoted to the commander of the 25th Division in 1933 and the commander of the part-time Red 9th Army, he led the troops to participate in many battles, in a battle Xu Shiyou faced the enemy's four brigades of troops, and took advantage of the chaos at night to attack with a broadsword, and held the position and withstood the enemy's attack for three months.
This also reflects that Xu Shiyou is good at fighting tough battles.
After that, Xu Shiyou participated in the Long March, and Xu Shiyou's performance during the Long March was also extremely good, so he was appreciated.
1937 year. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, many soldiers went to the front line to resist the war, so Xu Shiyou asked *** to go to the front line.
Later, Xu Shiyou was appointed as the deputy commander of the 386 Brigade to assist Chen Geng in the operation.
At that time, Xu Shiyou was not convinced when he heard that he was the deputy brigade commander, until someone told Xu Shiyou that the brigade commander was Chen Geng, and Xu Shiyou realized that he was wrong.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xu Shiyou dared to fight and rush, led the troops to carry out guerrilla warfare with the enemy, and was later sent to Shandong, where he established an anti-Japanese base and vigorously developed, and in the later stage of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression he liberated many cities.
During the Liberation War, the Shandong Field Army and the North China Field Army merged to form the East China Field Army, with Su Yu as the deputy commander, but Xu Shiyou was not convinced.
The two of them were actually about the same during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Su Yu was the deputy commander of the second detachment, and Xu Shiyou was the deputy brigade commander, but Su Yu was later the commander of the first division, and the seven division commanders of the New Fourth Army at that time were all at the rank of general.
Xu Shiyou was convinced of Chen Geng because of Chen Geng's ability, but he didn't know Su Yu, so he was not convinced, and later quarreled with Su Yu in **, and in the end, it was Mr. Chen who calmed Xu Shiyou.
Su Yu and Mr. Lin are the same troops of the Nanchang Uprising, but there are some reasons that they can't catch up, so some people are not convinced, although Mr. Lin doesn't like to talk, but he is very majestic, and he says nothing in the army.
However, Su Yu later showed his military talent, which made Xu Shiyou completely convinced, although Xu Shiyou was hot-tempered but not a brainless person, and later after the Huaihai Campaign, Xu Shiyou already respected Su Yu very much.
The second is Chen Shiyu, who was born in Hubei, and like Xu Shiyou, he came from a poor family, and dropped out of school and went home after a few days of school.
When he grew up, Chen Shiyu decided to go out, but because he had no knowledge, he could only do some chores, and he was later introduced to work in a store.
Here, Chen Shiyu was treated unfairly.
During Chen Shiyu's time as an apprentice, he did all dirty work, and Chen Shiyu was only a teenager at that time.
Later, he was introduced to Wuchang and joined the Youth League of our party, and under the introduction of our party, he entered the military training class to study, and then he was incorporated into the guard regiment. Here, Chen Shiyu vowed to follow the party.
In 1927, Lao Chiang launched the "412", and our party was attacked by the enemy.
Chen Shiyu left the army, and then participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by ***, after the reorganization of Sanwan, Chen Shiyu admired *** very much, he was a soldier, and knew that the reorganization of Sanwan directly reborn the troops.
After arriving in Jinggangshan, Chen Shiyu joined the party, where he appreciated how powerful the military command was, and then he claimed to be a student.
During the Red Army, Chen Shiyu participated in most battles, especially in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations.
In the Zunyi Conference, Chen Shiyu resolutely supported *** In the subsequent four crossings of Chishui, he paid for the security of the whole army.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, he was appointed chief of staff of the 343 Brigade, and the commander of the 115th Division at that time was General Lin.
However, Chen Shiyu was also very good at fighting, and in a certain battle, Chen Shiyu led the troops to ambush the Japanese army, and destroyed more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers at that time.
Later, he served as the commander of the 115th Division, and he was still convinced by Chen Shiyu, he and *** both participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and when the troops entered Shandong, Chen Shiyu was promoted to the chief of staff of the 115th Division.
After Japan's surrender, Chen Shiyu served as chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region, and later after the merger of the two field armies, he served as chief of staff of Huaye.
His code name is 504, only under Chen, Su, and Tan (**, he was the only one of the four people from the Shandong Military Region at that time, and he may have disagreed with the three, and Chen Shiyu reported directly to *** at that time
After that, Chen Shiyu went to the front line to fight, he served as the commander of the Eighth Corps, and he changed instantly after he went to the front line.
After coming to the front line, he realized how good Su Yu's military command was.
At that time, Chen Shiyu also deliberately studied Su Yu's strategy and tactics, and found it extremely subtle, and then his opinion of Su Yu changed significantly.
At the time of the Huaihai Campaign, he was already completely convinced of Su Yu, and after ** was transferred to Zhongye, Su Yu already had absolute prestige to command Huaye's army.
However, Chen Shiyu's disagreement with Su Yu was not a personal grudge, he had no selfish intentions, and after learning about Su Yu's excellent command, he completely obeyed Su Yu's command.
Song Shilun was born in 1907, the same age as Su Yu, and is also a native of Hunan like Su Yu, and Song Shilun went to school.
Song Shilun received a good education at school, and in order to save the motherland, he decided to abandon his pen and join the army from Rong, when he went to study in Wu Peifu's teaching team.
Later, I heard that the Whampoa Military Academy was recruiting, so he went south to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy, and later he was successfully admitted to Whampoa, and was a student of the fifth phase, where Song Shilun learned about our party.
In 1927, Song Shilun joined our party.
In 1929, Song Shilun joined the guerrillas of our party, and later became the leader of the guerrillas because of his outstanding performance, and soon this guerrilla unit was incorporated into the Red Sixth Army.
Song Shilun also officially joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and a year later he graduated from Whampoa and became a division commander with excellent combat excellence, and has been holding important positions in the Red Army since then.
Later, Song Shilun participated in the Long March, and after arriving in northern Shaanxi, he became the commander of the 30th Army.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Song Shilun became a regiment commander under the command of the 120th Division, and in the confrontation with the Japanese army, he not only defeated the Japanese army, but also opened up an anti-Japanese base area.
In 1940, Song Shilun was called back to Yan'an, and after arriving in Yan'an, he was arranged to study in school, where he not only learned Marxism-Leninism, but also learned military ability.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, ** went to the Shandong Military Region to replace *** Song Shilun and was sent to Shandong.
After Lao Chiang tore up the peace agreement, China fell into a civil war, when Song Qingling was the chief of staff of the Shandong Field Army, but after the merger of the two field armies, Song Shilun was transferred from chief of staff to the commander of the 10th column, which also made Song Shilun have some temper, but he still agreed with this decision.
However, after the merger into Huaye, Song Shilun and Su Yu had different opinions, when Song Shilun began to publicly contradict Su Yu, and this matter was known by *** at that time, ** severely criticized Song Shilun.
In the Battle of Jinan, Song Shilun was angry, so he was ready to withdraw, ** Thunder was furious after knowing it, and removed Song Shilun, Su Yu reported *** to intercede for Song Shilun, and then deal with Song Shilun after the Battle of Jinan.
Later, Song Shilun performed well in the Battle of Jinan and was not dismissed, and he also knew that Su Yu interceded for him, which made Song Shilun sigh Su Yu's magnanimity. Later, he learned about Su Yu's military ability, completely obeyed Su Yu's command, and performed very well in the Huaihai Campaign.
After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Song Shilun fought the Battle of Changjin Lake, which made Song Shilun completely famous.
The first three are all old Red Army, and they performed very well during the Red Army period, even better than Su Yu, and they all participated in the Long March, and they were all the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Although Su Yu is also very qualified, during the Red Army period, Su Yu was not as dazzling as Mr. Lin, nor did he participate in the Long March, but fought a guerrilla war in the south for three years, and was a unit of the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
It can be seen that they do not know Su Yu. They were convinced** because ** himself was one of the leaders of the Red Army and had a high prestige, while Su Yu had a very low start, and he really showed his military talent until the War of Liberation.
On the contrary, ** knew Su Yu very well and knew that Su Yu's military ability was very strong, so he ceded the military power of Huaye Capital to Su Yu and let Su Yu be responsible.
Later, *** directly made Su Yu the acting commander and political commissar, responsible for all the affairs of Huaye, which shows how much *** trusts Su Yu.
Su Yu is not the same as the three of them, how can he be a fierce general, and Su Yu is the commander who leads the large corps to fight, in military terms Su Yu can be ranked with Lin Zong, they are called the twin stars of the military world.
