Su Yu is capable, why Marshal Huaye is not convinced
Su Yu's status in Huaye is second only to Mr. Chen, and his military talent is unmatched, however, Chen Xu, Song Tan and others have questioned and dissatisfied with his leadership position.
* The disagreement with Su Yu did not affect Huaye's combat effectiveness, but rather a boost.
The reason why Huaye's generals dared to question Su Yu was that Huaye ** was the most complicated, and there was no dominant force. ** Xiye, Liu Deng's Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu troops and Lin Luo Liu's Northeast Democratic Alliance Army all have a clear ** context and core leadership, while Huaye is formed by the merger of the Shandong Field Army and the Central China Field Army, and the predecessors of the two field armies are the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which are complex and have no absolute authority.
Under such circumstances, Huaye's generals are not only superior but only realistic, and dare to put forward their own opinions and suggestions, which is also an important reason for Huaye's strong combat effectiveness and remarkable achievements.
*, Rao Shushi, Su Yu and Song Shilun, if the composition of the troops is complex, and there is a military commander with super strong military ability to press the formation, then it is easy to form a core.
However, ** is clearly not such a person. * is a legendary character. As one of the founders of the Red 4th Army, his military status was soon surpassed by Mr. Lin.
Although he was the main founder of the **Soviet District, his position as commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi Military District, although his rank was not low, was not a regular field unit. He was also a representative of the guerrilla warfare of the Red Army in the South, but the men and men commanded by Xiang were almost the smallest of all the small guerrillas.
He served as the acting commander of the New Fourth Army, but spent most of his time in Yan'an. In the end, he finally became the official commander of the New Fourth Army, but by then the Japanese had already surrendered.
However, despite the varied position, his military prowess was never overlooked. Back then, when he participated in the Nanchang Uprising as a lieutenant clerk, ** had not caught up, and he caught up with the team in Fuzhou.
Zhou Gong immediately arranged for him to be the political instructor of the 25th Regiment of the 73rd Division. Although the level of this position is not high, it is extremely important, because the 73rd Regiment is the absolute main force of the rebel army, that is, the Ye Ting Independent Regiment that killed all sides in the Northern Expedition that year.
When he entered the rebel army, he had a very low military rank and was a cadre in charge of political work. At that time, the army had not yet been reformed, and the political work cadres were called "five-skin doctrine" and were very despised.
It is said that ** is a marginal character. But it was in this situation that ** later became the second only person in the ranks of the uprising. He launched a huge uprising in southern Hunan, and later when he joined forces with *** Jinggangshan, ** and ** brought up the mountain with 10,000 people (of course, there are not many regular troops, mainly the peasant army in southern Hunan).
On Jinggang Mountain, Commander-in-Chief Zhu fought side by side and co-founded China's first Red Army team. * Qualifications, "tonnage" and contributions, to say outstanding or not, do you have a point?
If you want to compare your qualifications, there are probably not many people in the whole army who can compare with him. **When he went to Jinggangshan, Mr. Lin and Su Yu were his subordinates, and later the commanding General Peng was still the head of the Hunan army!
* The general has deep qualifications and high military attainments, but his military ability is not comparable to that of Peng, Lin, Liu, Xu, Su and other god-of-war figures. He also suffered setbacks in certain battles, such as the defeat at Sixian and the loss of Lianghuai.
But he can't be blamed for it, because his opponent is very strong. In the Huaye Army, the prestige of ** is very high, but in other field armies, such as Mr. Peng in the West Field, Mr. Peng of the Army of Liu Deng and Mr. Lin of the Northeast Theater, their military capabilities are also very strong.
Therefore, in Huaye, although ** has seniority and prestige, his military ability is slightly weaker; Although Su Yu has professional ability and level, his qualifications are slightly inferior. Therefore, ** and Su Yu will be questioned at some point, and this situation is less common in other field armies.
Su Yu, Song Shilun and *** each went to different paths after questioning Su Yu's Chen, Xu, Song, and Tan warriors. Chen Shiyu was the first to question Su Yu, he was an old Jinggang who participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising with the chairman.
He served as the acting commander of the Red 30th Army, and was the chief of staff of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War, and his qualifications were even higher than Su Yulai. At the end of 1946, Huaye had not yet been formally established, but Su Yu's Central China Field Army had already fought in conjunction with the Shandong Field Army.
At that time, the chief of staff of the Shandong Field Army was Song Shilun, but Chen Shiyu was the chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region and the New Fourth Army. It was at this time that Su Chen, two famous generals representing the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, respectively, had a dispute.
But ** finally supported Chen Shiyu's opinion, which led to the victory of Lunan, the capture of Ma Liwu, who was hated by the people of Shandong, and the capture of a large number of heavy equipment.
Chen Shiyu and Su Yu were two outstanding military generals, although Chen Shiyu may have been affected in the confrontation of Xu Shiyou, Song Shilun and others in the back, but Su Yu's leadership and command skills were not affected.
Although Xu Shiyou and Song Shilun had conflicts with Su Yu, they eventually recognized Su Yu's excellent leadership skills and cooperated happily with him, making great contributions to the country's military cause.
What I want to talk about here is not Chen Shiyu, Xu Shiyou and Song Shilun, they are all people from the "mountain" of the Eighth Route Army, and it is normal for Su Yu to have a contradiction with the "mountain" of the New Fourth Army, so where does the contradiction between Su Yu and the two old men of the New Fourth Army start?
In the summer of 1947, in response to Liu Deng's army leaping thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, Huaye implemented the "July Division", and Chen Su led the Western Corps to carry out external operations, preparing to chase the Central Plains.
As far as Huaye is concerned, there has always been a saying that if you cooperate, you will win, and if you divide, you will lose, and after the "division of troops in July," whether it was the Western Corps that fought on the outside line, that is, Chen Su's army, or the Xu Tan Corps in Shandong, which fought on the inner line, they all went through a rather difficult process.
The most typical defeat of Su Yu during this period was the Battle of Nanma Linqu, which was quite passive for a time. After two battles, the enemy was annihilated 180,000, but as high as 210,000 is a typical gain that outweighs the loss.
After the war, Su Yu made self-criticism, ** wrote a long letter to him, bluntly criticizing Su Yu for "often being careless in military affairs, lacking foresight, and only seeing one or two steps".
However, whether it is *** or the East China Bureau, including ** himself, they all have a high opinion of Su Yu, and even think that Su Yu is a major recent discovery of our army, which can be compared with Mr. Peng, Liu Shuai, Mr. Lin and General Chen Geng.
** In his later years, he served as a deputy prime minister, and he was the only revolutionary among the four mentioned above to serve as a deputy prime minister. His peak moment was to make a big fuss in Huairentang and Jingxi Hotel, Xu Shiyou's peak was the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Song Shilun commanded the 9th Corps to fight the Battle of Changjin Lake in Korea, Chen Shiyu did not sound too legendary after the founding of New China, but he was also remarkable for a long time in charge of China's missile and atomic bomb test infrastructure.
Ye Fei, Ding Qiusheng, Wei Guoqing, Tang Liang, Su Yu, Chen Shiyu and *** These are the names of a group of great people who were important figures in the history of the Chinese revolution.
