Speaking of bandits, we can imagine that there are many evil deeds, mountain sculptures on the one side of the evil side, Xie Baoqing, who is treacherous and cunning, and Gao Weiguo, a giant bandit in southern Fujian, all of whom have done no evil and have caused great losses to our people's property. When we have been in the battlefield for a long time, the shrewd and capable General Su Yu encounters bandits and difficulties, how will we skillfully resolve them.
Bandit past
In the process of participating in the creation of the central Soviet base area, Su Yu once encountered harassment and interference by bandits on many occasions, which affected the normal operation of our party base areas, seriously endangered the safety of people's property, and caused an extremely unfavorable impact on the development and growth of the central Soviet region.
In May 1932, the Red Army was in an unfavorable situation in the Zhangzhou battlefield, the Red Army withdrew from Zhangzhou and moved to The town of Dahe, just when a group of well-equipped bandits were entrenched on the way, and these bandits saw that the Red Army had lost the battle in Zhangzhou, so they asked the Red Army to leave the road money at the risk of people.
If this bandit is not eliminated, other bandits will certainly take the opportunity to attack our Red Army, and the headquarters of the Red Army immediately decided to eliminate it, so that it can play the role of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, so that other bandits will not dare to act rashly, and at the same time, they can also eliminate the bandits on the one side of the disaster and eliminate harm to the people.
Such a difficult task was led by the Red Fourth Army of the Red First Army. Wang Liang, commander of the Red Fourth Army, and chief of staff were none other than Su Yu, who was serving as a military instructor at the Red Army University at that time, and Su Yu transferred the few mountain cannons that the Red Army had at that time to attack the bandits' dens, but its strong buildings and the terrain were not favorable to our army, and it was difficult for our army to take them for a while.
Wang Liang, commander of the Red Fourth Army, was also very anxious when he saw this scene, so he took Su Yuhe, the company commander who was specially responsible for using artillery, and the scout who was responsible for inspecting the terrain to check the terrain, but was unexpectedly attacked by bandits, and Wang Liang's commander and the commander of the artillery company were hit by the bandits' cold guns and died heroically.
There was also Su Yu's comrade-in-arms Geng Kai, who was also killed by the bandits' cold guns when he attacked the bandits in Jiangxi. General Su Yu also fought with these bandits many times, and he was still familiar with their characteristics.
Form an advance team and go to the front
In January 1938, General Ye Ting was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the Kuomintang authorities, and he became the commander of the New Fourth Army, forming the New Fourth Army and leading the New Fourth Army in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Our party's guerrillas and the people's army are assembling in southern Anhui from all over the country, and because the New Fourth Army has not been formed recently, it does not have a good understanding of the enemy's situation, terrain, and other conditions, and after the troops are assembled, they urgently need to find a stable base area to station and rest.
General Ye Ting deliberately sent the New Fourth Army to Jing County and the Nanling area, and formed an advance team with Su Yu as commander to go south to conduct reconnaissance and propaganda of our party's anti-Japanese program.
The advance detachment had many difficulties in reconnaissance and had heavy responsibilities in going south, and only elite backbone cadres in each unit could enter the advance detachment after being selected layer by layer, and General Chen Yi transferred many of his capable generals to Su Yu, including many elite generals, such as adjutant Cao Hongsheng, as well as important staff officers such as reconnaissance staff officers and surveying and mapping staff officers.
On April 28, Su Yu led a team of more than 500 elite troops through a number of Kuomintang jurisdictions, all of which passed smoothly, encountered obstacles from bandits, and could also overcome the danger, but when the troops arrived at the Quarry Generation on the Yangtze River, they encountered a band of bandits that were difficult to coordinate.
There is a small zhuangzi here, called "Forty-Eight Villages", where the terrain is extremely complex, and there is a well-organized and well-trained band of bandits, who collude with the local tyrants and gentry to form their own small kingdom, and the local government has repeatedly encircled and suppressed them, all of which have failed, and finally colluded with them. These bandits deliberately and deliberately make things difficult for our army to stay and buy road money.
Many fighters suggested that the use of force to eliminate it could not only eliminate the people, but also make a name for themselves and show the prestige and strength of the New Fourth Army.
However, Su Yu put forward three far-sighted proposals for peace talks: First, at the beginning of the establishment of the New Fourth Army, the number of people was not small and the equipment was not sophisticated enough, and these elites were the main forces in the fight against the Japanese Kou, and how could they consume their own strength in the civil war.
Second, when the country is in trouble, these bandits can just become the target of the advance team to publicize the anti-Japanese program, unite all the forces that can be united, and strive to resist Japan in unison.
Third, if we form a bond with these land snakes, their extremely strong sense of revenge will certainly cause unnecessary impact on the New Fourth Army and cause unnecessary losses to our party and people in the future.
Single knife to the bandit's nest, wen and martial arts are both brave and brave to fight bandits
After discussion with Su Yu, Cao Hongsheng decided to solve the problem through negotiation, Cao Hongsheng advocated sending a representative to negotiate with the bandits, but Su Yu believed that he should go there, which could show his sincerity in negotiating with the bandits, and Su Yu also understood the bandits' black words, and it would be more difficult to negotiate with them.
Su Yuxian sent people to Baishan's post, which was the rule of bandits, which was in line with the etiquette of bandits, and would not give people a handle to show sincerity. The next day, Su Yu took two guards, unloaded his guns, and entered the bandit's den with his bare hands.
Cao Hongsheng, who was guarding the camp, immediately dispatched troops and asked the troops to prepare for battle, in case Commander Su Yu had a three long and two short, and in case the negotiations failed, he would use force to eliminate the bandits and rescue Commander Su Yu. Entering the Juyi Hall, I saw more than sixty of their leaders, large and small, led by a man named Black Dog, a military master named Elephant Er, and several protectors, all of whom were named after animals.
After listening to the leaders report to their homes one by one, Su Yu keenly noticed that most of the more than sixty leaders were nicknamed animals, but there was no one with a cat in his name, and one of them, who had been a prisoner of the New Fourth Army, had a positive attitude of admitting his mistakes, and after some education, he was released.
After that, he was cornered, and came here again to fall into the grass, and seeing that Su Yu had treated himself well, he said a lot of good things about the New Fourth Army to the leaders, saying that the New Fourth Army was a benevolent and righteous division, and there was a big gap between it and the corrupt Kuomintang army.
When the chiefs asked Su Yu why he answered in official language, as the saying goes, he could understand the black words of the chiefs because he was a good friend of the leaders, and he answered in official language because he was a soldier of the People's Liberation Army and a serious army for the people.
Su Yu was a member of the Wen Clan and did not fall behind. Next is the martial arts friends, one of the great protectors said, Su Yu Commander Wei Zhen Jiangnan, gun art martial arts are the top, this protector consciously has high martial arts, but wants to learn something. Su Yu knew in his heart that if he didn't use his martial arts, he wouldn't surely attract the attention of the bandits. So he said, please teach.
Bandits compete in martial arts, and the usual means is to put a wine bowl on the head of their own people, and they must be shot with one shot. Otherwise, the people below are also life-threatening.
The guards naturally trusted Commander Su Yu's marksmanship, and without saying a word, he put the bowl on his head, and Commander Su Yu, as a military instructor at the Red Army University, had experienced hundreds of battles, not to mention such a small fixed target, even such a small mobile target.
But after all, it is his own comrades below, and he cannot do this. During the period of thinking, the bandit had already placed a plate in front of Su Yu, which contained two revolvers and a few bullets, and the bandit meant that Su Yu chose a gun to fight first.
Thinking that he could not endanger his comrades who lived day and night, and could not fold the prestige, Su Yu calmly thought about the coping strategy, and suddenly had a brilliant plan, and saw that there was a kneeling wooden sculpture the size of an incense burner at the foot of Guan Gong on the incense case in front of him.
Above the sculpture is a cat's head, indeed a person's body, plus there is no one in the sixty or so leaders of the entire mountain with the name of the cat in it, General Su Yu speculated that the bandits of this mountain must have a great vendetta against this person who treated the cat character.
Therefore, Su Yu bowed his hand and walked to the leader and said, Commander Ben has not used a gun for many years, it may be a little strange, can you please ask the big boss Rong to try a few shots before the test? The black dog said yes.
Su Yu took out a gun from the plate, skillfully placed the bullet, loaded it, grabbed the statue on the incense case with his left hand and threw it into the air, holding the gun in his right hand, before the bandits could react, the gun sounded, and General Su Yu had already smashed the statue in the air.
The big and small leaders in the Juyi Hall saw Su Yu's marksmanship and smashed his enemies to pieces, and they couldn't help but cheer. Su Yu saw the bandit's applause, and he was even more certain that the leader of the mountain had a deep hatred with this "cat".
It turned out that this "cat" was a bandit leader nicknamed Night Owl, this Night Owl led his men to fight against the black dog everywhere, and the two forces had had many frictions and battles for their own interests, and the black dog had lost many brothers, so the bandits of forty-eight villages hated this night owl to the bone, and they were eager to slash it with a thousand knives.
When Su Yu saw this situation, he deliberately said: "As the saying goes, one arrow will determine the world, but it is a pity that this commander killed a sculptural wooden cat, which is really ashamed and vain, and this contest is lost." ”
Su Yu's good marksmanship, taking the initiative to concede defeat, gave these bandits enough face, and also scolded their sworn enemy night owls, which is the bandits who feel that the saying that the great general and the New Fourth Army can make friends. After Su Yu conceded defeat, he handed in the confession table, which was actually a gift list, which said that the advance team borrowed the road to go south and was willing to send ten rifles and five hundred bullets. The black dog immediately smiled and accepted the gun and ammunition.
In the afternoon of the same day, the advance team went to the forty-eight villages and stayed overnight in the local area, the bandits warmly welcomed the New Fourth Army, and at the same time, Commander Su Yu also reached an agreement with the bandit leader, The Black Dog, first, that in the future, the New Fourth Army could borrow from here, but it needed to be notified in advance.
Second, camp fortifications must not be built within forty-eight miles of the forty-eight villages to prevent threats; the safety of the bandits in the forty-eight villages. Third, if you are defeated by the puppet army or the Japanese army, you cannot flee to the forty-eight villages to escape.
General Su Yu also understood the demands of these bandits very well, so he reached an agreement. The black dog also felt that Commander Su Yu was worth befriending, so he returned the original guns and ammunition one by one. After that, the New Fourth Army borrowed from forty-eight villages to pass by, and each time it was very smooth, frictionless, and peaceful coexistence. It has brought great convenience to the New Fourth Army.
Su Yu's general Wen Tao was both wise and courageous, and with his foresight, he not only solved the problem of bandits, but also solved unnecessary troubles for the New Fourth Army's resistance to Japan.
