When the title was conferred in 1955, there were three people who made a bit of a fuss, they were Xu Shiyou, Wang Bicheng, and Zhong Wei, and the military ranks of the three were general, lieutenant general, and major general. Among them, Xu Shiyou went to *** and said that Su Yu was the general, he was silent, Wang Bicheng found the old leader *** to respond to his superiors for him, and was criticized, while Zhong Wei directly said that he hung the medal on the dog's tail and was reprimanded by Mr. Lin, and the matter was over. What we are going to talk about today is Wang Bicheng. During the Liberation War, there were three generals under the command of Su Yu, deputy commander of Huaye, namely Ye Fei, Wang Bicheng, and Tao Yong.

Wang Bicheng is a native of Macheng, Hubei, born in 1912, joined the Red Army at the age of 17, and has since served as the Red Army battalion commander, regiment commander, deputy division commander and other positions. During the Liberation War, Wang Bicheng successively served as the commander of the column and the deputy commander of the Seventh Corps of Sanye. From 1940, Wang Bicheng began to serve under Su Yu, when he was the commander of the second column of the Northern Jiangsu Command, and Su Yu was the deputy commander of the Northern Jiangsu Command, as the saying goes, a good man and three gangs, Su Yu can have such a brilliant record, and the three major wars under his command are inseparable, in the early days of the Liberation War in 1946, when Wang Bicheng led his troops to guard Lianshui, he encountered the attack of the Kuomintang 74th Division, due to many reasons, Wang Bicheng was defeated, ** was very angry, saying that he wanted to remove Wang Bicheng, Su Yu protected Wang Bicheng.

In the Battle of Menglianggu, Wang Bicheng led the Huaye Six Columns, and was the first to attack the top of Menglianggu Mountain and take revenge. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Bicheng successively served as the commander of the Zhejiang Military Region and the commander of the Shanghai Garrison District, and in 1955, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. In 1958, Su Yu was the chief of the General Staff at the time, because of several "unauthorized acts" and his ignorance of politics, which offended some people. Su Yu was criticized, many people found Su Yu's three subordinates during the war years, Ye Fei was the founding general, he was also a very powerful person in the army, he didn't say a word at the meeting to criticize Su Yu, no matter what others said, he didn't want to expose Su Yu's mistakes. And Wang Bicheng, he knows that his old leader Su Yu is upright, he doesn't believe in the trumped-up "crimes" imposed on Su Yu at all, and he doesn't want to declare that he wants to draw a line with Su Yu.

However, Wang Bicheng still spoke, he said: "I was ordered to expose the great conspirator Su Yu, I have followed Su Yu to fight for many years, and I have the deepest understanding of Su Yu's grand conspiracy, that is, "big" and "conspiracy". I remember that the Battle of Jinan was about to be won and not yet over, Su Yu suggested to *** that the Huaihai Battle be fought to basically solve the main force of Chiang's army. ** Adopting Su Yu's advice, we won the decisive battle against Huaihai. I don't dare to comment on how big this plot is, and I'm not qualified to comment, ** he knows best. As for the yin side, I don't know, and I don't understand it, so I ask those in the know to expose it. Hearing Wang Bicheng's words, the generals under the rostrum talked a lot, ** Marshal was also at the meeting at the time, he criticized Su Yu without saying a word, but after hearing Wang Bicheng's words, he rarely spoke, he said: "Wang Bicheng is credible, can be handed over" After a while, ** again emphasized that "Wang Bicheng can be convinced, can be deeply acquainted." ”

Tao Yong is also a general under Su Yu, he was also ordered to "expose" Su Yu, Tao Yong said: "I have a low culture, not much literacy, this manuscript is written by xxx chief's secretary xxx, but there are too many comparisons here, I am afraid that it will not be read well, and the wrong place, please add it to the xxx secretary," Hearing Tao Yong's words, the people in the audience burst into laughter, and the host hurriedly found someone to put Tao Yong out of the venue. After the meeting, Su Yu was removed from all his positions, Su Yu scolded Fang Yu on the military battlefield, but in his political career, he didn't know anything, ** admired Su Yu very much, he not only didn't fall into Su Yu's ground, but also comforted him. Once, **about Su Yu, the two chatted happily, ** said to him: "You lack the struggle within the party", Su Yu replied: "I am not lacking, I am not at all." "In 1965, when Su Yu was recuperating in Shanghai, ** also came here, he gave Su Yu a special opinion, and also said to Su Yu that if you go to the army more often, if you find any problems or opinions, you can directly report to him, interview, call, and write letters.

Because of this appreciation, Su Yu's low mood was rarely sunny. In 1984, Su Yu died of illness, and after Wang Bicheng found out, he knew that the report that had been detained on Su Yu's head had not been rehabilitated, so he wanted to write a letter to ** and ask Su Yu to be rehabilitated. When Su Yu's wife Chu Qing learned about it, she stopped him. In 1994, Su Yu's old subordinates, Zhang Zhen, who was already vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and ***, who was also vice chairman, published an article "Reminiscing Comrade Su Yu", in which they pointed out: In 1958, Comrade Su Yu was wrongly criticized at the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission, and was treated unfairly for a long time. This is a blunder in history. This view is also the opinion of the ** Military Council. ”

This can be regarded as officially rehabilitating Su Yu. For this reason, Chu Qing also went to burn paper in front of Wang Bicheng's (died in 1989) grave, told him the news, and let him rest in peace under Jiuquan. With the passage of time, we have more and more respect for General Su Yu.
