Su Yu was affectionately called the God of War by posterity, many people are more confused, how does Su Yu achieve invincible, invincible, even in an extremely bad environment, he can still find the breakthrough point, and finally achieve victory, is such a god of war born?
In fact, everyone's success will not be accidental, the success of General Su Yu, of course, is not so simple as talent, from many small details of his life, in fact, we can see su Yu's extraordinary, for example, when he passed through Paris in 1970, others asked him if he wanted to go to Paris, but he was not interested in this at all, but wanted to visit the normandy landing site, and asked four questions when visiting, stunned everyone.
Su Yu's two major hobbies
People familiar with Su Yu know that Su Yu has two more obvious hobbies, one is to like to study maps, the other is to like to study various tactics and classic battles, the combination of these two hobbies and talents, is the key to Su Yu's ability to win every battle.
In front of Su Yu's own hobbies, he can even remember his hobbies when dating his wife Chu Qing, for example, after the liberation of Shanghai in 1949, Su Yu took Chu Qing to Shanghai for a reunion, and in his spare time, he took Chu Qing to the streets of Shanghai for a walk and visited the beautiful scenery of Shanghai.
When the two were walking on the street, Su Yu always looked around at the surrounding buildings, and when he came to the front of a building at the entrance of the street, Su Yu directly stopped his steps and circled around the building a few times, at that time Chu Qing was confused about Su Yu's strange behavior, but Su Yu seemed to be very excited.
After Su Yu circled the building a few times, he stopped and excitedly said to Chu Qing: "If I arrange a few light machine guns to shoot upstairs and downstairs of this building, I can defend this whole street", after listening to Su Yu's words, Chu Qing laughed, in fact, similar to this behavior, Su Yu is not the first time, Chu Qing has long been accustomed to Su Yu, after all, his study of war has reached a fanatical level.
In addition to the study of tactics and war, Su Yu has the talent and is quite interested in the study of maps, in our army, there is a general Li Da, who is called a "living map", it is said that when he was seventy or eighty years old, he could accurately say the names of more than 2,000 places in the country, and he was very familiar with the maps of those places.
For example, during the Battle of Huaihai, one day Li Da was studying the map in the command post, but found that there was something wrong with the map he was holding, and at this time, Li Da saw Su Yu and asked if there was a problem with the map of Su Yu, Su Yu took a closer look at the map, and pointed out the error, it turned out that the location of the double stack on the map was wrong, and the depth difference was about 30 kilometers.
When Su Yu pointed out the mistake, Li Da's "living map" also lamented that it was inferior to himself, which was enough to see Su Yu's strength in studying maps, as a god of war level figure, only if he had a map in his heart, he could more quickly make appropriate tactics, so that the war would be easier to win, and it had to be said that Su Yu's two hobbies must have played a vital role in Su Yu's success.
Su Yu's visit to the Normandy ruins asked four questions
In fact, Su Yu's whole life has been studying classic battles and tactics, even after the founding of New China, we are living in the era of peace, Su Yu still has the great cause of the reunification of the motherland in mind, so Su Yu in that period, wherever he went, remembered this matter.
For example, after Su Yu's visit to the Congo in 1970, on the way back to China through Paris, Mao Zedong called Su Yu and asked him to relax in Paris for a few days and then come back, so Su Yu was able to stay in Paris, and it was Zeng Tao, who was the ambassador to France at that time, who received Su Yu.
After Zeng Tao received Su Yu, he was deeply infected by Su Yu's affinity, and after contacting him, Zeng Tao was even more touched by Su Yu's feelings of always caring for the country, and at the same time admired the talents that Su Yu showed. So what exactly did Su Yu's trip to Paris do?
When Zeng Tao received Su Yu, he recommended Su Yu to go to the streets of Paris to feel some beautiful scenery, but Su Yu bluntly said that he did not like to enjoy the scenery, but wanted to visit the site of the Normandy landings, in the face of such a request, Zeng Tao was first stunned, and then reacted, and quickly took Su Yu to visit the site of this famous battle in World War II.
Zeng Tao, Su Yu and the accompanying translators, they got on the car and went to the Normandy landing site, the scenery outside the window was very beautiful, but Su Yu never looked at the scenery, but looked at some surrounding buildings, and after a glance, he drew something on the book, Zeng Tao took a closer look, only to find that it was a map.
Su Yu drew a map of the town of Arlomansh, where the site of the Normandy landing battle was located, and Zeng Tao fixed his eyes on it, and found that Su Yu had drawn it so accurately, and he was amazed, and when he went to the site of the Normandy landing battle, Su Yu was even more concentrated on looking around, occasionally standing on a high place and looking at the distance, occasionally facing the sea and meditating.
After Su Yu had carefully watched for a while, he began to speak, he told the general process of the Normandy landings, and the accompanying translators and staff were very shocked, thinking that Su Yu might have been here many times before to say these things so accurately, when Zeng Tao told everyone that When Commander Su Yu came to Paris for the first time, the French people present were stunned.
They originally planned to tell Su Yu about the process of the Normandy landings and some wonderful heroic deeds, but judging from the situation at that time, Su Yu obviously knew more things than they knew, and they had no place to play at all, and they had been following Su Yu and quietly admiring everything there.
After looking at it for a long time, Su Yu suddenly said to several French people accompanying him: "I don't know some things very well, can I ask you four questions?" Hearing Su Yu say that he still had something unclear, the French entourage felt that the opportunity to perform had arrived, but when he listened to Su Yu's four questions, he was dumbfounded for a while, because they could not answer the professional questions raised by Su Yu, after all, they only knew something about the process of the Normandy landings and some heroic deeds, and they were stretched to say that they were stretched for professional war and tactical knowledge.
After he looked at the site of the Normandy landing battle, he was very interested in the large number of weapons and equipment of the landing war that year, as well as the transportation process and means of transport, so Su Yu asked the first question: "
At that time, the Allied army had 3 million troops, transporting so many people and a large number of weapons at that time, what means of transport or landing tools did the Allies use, and what was the number?
”
The second question that Su Yu had some doubts about the construction of artificial ports that played a key role in the Normandy landings, so he asked: "
What was the man-made port built by the Allies in the Bay of Seine at that time, and what were the important structures?
According to Su Yu's understanding of the entire process of the Normandy landings, Su Yu knew that after the construction of the artificial port was completed, in fact, the enemy had also tried to destroy the artificial port, fortunately, the cement piers at the front of the artificial port were strong enough to finally block the enemy's artillery fire, so Su Yu's third question was:"
How many cement piers are there in the artificial port of The Bay of Seine, what shape are these cement piers, and are there any specific parameters?
In addition to the above three questions, Su Yu was also more interested in the coordinated operations in the landing battle at that time, so he asked the fourth question: "
How did the huge number of Allied weapons and equipment at that time coordinate in a small space?
After Su Yu asked four questions, everyone present was dumbfounded, Su Yu understood that they would definitely not be able to answer, so he immediately broke the siege and said: "It doesn't matter if I don't know, I just ask casually", just like that, after everyone visited the Normandy landing site together, they slowly left.
When Ye Jianying and Qin Jiwei came to their homes as guests, Su Yu showed them what he thought and thought of visiting the normandy landing site, and after reading it, both of them clapped their hands and applauded Su Yu's feelings and spirit of always caring for the motherland.
epilogue
Su Yu's success is inseparable from his usual accumulation of bits and pieces, from these small details in his life, in fact, we have enough to have a more profound understanding of Su Yu, he is relying on this attitude and spirit of completely combining life with war, constantly summing up experience, learning from the strengths of others, and finally achieving himself, but also making great contributions to the construction and development of new China!
