Tianxue Miscellaneous Talk was founded by the former university faculty member Tianxuan, welcome to pay attention.
In late May 1938, Su Yu led more than 500 people from the advance detachment of the New Fourth Army to break through the heavy obstacles of the Kuomintang army and bandits all the way to a place called Quarry Rock on the Yangtze River.

This belongs to the boundary of Anhui, but it is the junction of Anhui and Jiangsu. Su Yu's advance detachment was in trouble when it arrived here.
If Su Yu's advance detachment wanted to continue its advance, it had to pass through an earthen fence called "Forty-Eight Villages", which had a very complex terrain and certain fortifications, and there was a bandit in this earthen fence.
According to the information obtained from the reconnaissance, this band of bandits is not quite the same as other bandits, because this band of bandits is very well organized and has a bit of a feudal gang flavor.
In addition to the leaders and military masters, this band of bandits also had the four protectors, the eight vajras, and the forty-eight masters, who colluded with other local tycoons and inferior gentry to become an independent small kingdom, and no one bought anyone's battle, and they did not allow other teams to pass through the "Forty-Eight Villages".
Because this is the only way for the advance detachment to advance, it is impossible to detour, and how to pass through the "Forty-Eight Villages" has become a difficult problem facing the commander of the advance detachment, Su Yu.
Some people advocated a strong attack, so that the prestige of the New Fourth Army could be played, and the chicken could be killed to show the monkeys, but this opinion was rejected by Su Yu, and there were three main reasons:
First, the primary task of the advance detachment is to reconnoiter the situation of the Japanese and the false, publicize the masses, mobilize the masses, organize the masses, and create base areas for the main force to follow up, and there is no need to waste time and troops in this place.
Second, the advance detachment basically carries light weapons, there is no heavy weapon, this earth fence has defensive facilities, and the advance detachment is not easy to conquer.
Third, this kind of bandit who is guarded by the earth fence belongs to the nature of the land snake, and if they have formed a vendetta against them, their retaliation is very strong, and they will find trouble with you for a long time.
As the commander of the advance detachment, Su Yu's first consideration was how to successfully complete the reconnaissance task, which was the main task, and he also had to consider casualties, and he had such a small number of troops in his hands, and he could not lose anything, because Su Yu knew quite well about Tuweizi.
Su Yu participated in the creation process of the Central Soviet District, which was created and developed, and a key point was to eliminate the Tuweizi who were entrenched in the Central Soviet District, because these bandits were equivalent to an independent kingdom and threatened the regime of the Central Soviet Region.
In May 1932, when the Red Army withdrew from Zhangzhou, on the road to Dahe Town, they encountered a dazhuangzi that had been occupied by bandits for a long time. These bandits saw that the Red Army had lost the battle in Zhangzhou and demanded that the Red Army leave money to buy roads through the tuweizi.
If this tuweizi is not attacked, other tuweizi will certainly follow suit, and the headquarters of the Red Army decided to kill the chicken to show the monkeys, so that the Red First Army will attack this tuweizi, and the Red Fourth Army of the Red First Army will take the main attack.
The commander of the Red Fourth Army was Wang Liang, the political commissar was Luo Ruiqing, and the chief of staff was Su Yu, who also transferred the only few artillery pieces of the Red Fourth Army to attack Tuweizi. However, tuweizi was not easy to fight, and the Red Army could not attack for a while.
The Red Army is on its way
This made Wang Liang, the commander of the Red Fourth Army, very anxious, and he took Su Yu and the special agent company commander who was specially responsible for using artillery to check the terrain, and they wanted to see more clearly, so they took a few steps forward.
At that time, Su Yu was transferred to the Red Fourth Army as chief of staff shortly after serving as a military instructor at the Red Army University, and he already had a rational understanding of where commanders at all levels should stand, so he shouted: "Commander, danger!" ”
But it was already too late, commander Wang Liang and the commander of the special agent company of the headquarters were killed by the enemy's cold guns, and the commanders and fighters of the Red Army were dressed the same at that time.
This had something to do with the position where the individuals were standing at that time, and there was a more important reason, the large telescope hung on the chest of Commander Wang Liang, which was only equipped by senior commanders of the Red Army at that time.
Su Yu's close comrade-in-arms, Geng Kai, commander of the Second Column of the Red Fourth Army, was also killed under the cold guns of the bandits when he was fighting tuweizi in Jiangxi.
Su Yu analyzed the characteristics of these bandits: the marksmanship was very accurate, the terrain was very familiar, and although the ability to coordinate operations was average, the individual combat ability was relatively strong.
For these Tuweizi, a strong attack was the next strategy, and Su Yu later attacked Tuweizi and always tried every means to lure the bandits out to fight, so that not only the casualties were small, but it was also easy to achieve the purpose of the battle.
Unlike this Tuweizi, Su Yu decided to personally enter the Tuweizi to negotiate with the bandits.
This decision was opposed by Zhong Zhiguang, the director of the Political Department, who believed that it was too dangerous, and if it was really to negotiate with the bandits, a representative could be sent, and Su Yu did not need to risk his life.
Su Yu believes that negotiations with bandits are more complicated, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger and affect the completion of the task. However, Su Yu had experience in dealing with various types of bandits and gang armed forces, and although he was not proficient in black words about them, he knew not much, so he decided to go personally.
Su Yuxian had people send a post to the bandits, in the name of the commander of the advance detachment of the New Fourth Army, "Baishan, the so-called Baishan means to visit the leader."
The next day, Su Yu and the guards entered the "Forty-Eight Villages" with their bare hands.
After Su Yu left, Zhong Zhiguang, just in case, asked the troops to be ready for battle and act at any time, in case the negotiations failed, they must not only capture the "Forty-Eight Villages", but also must rescue Commander Su Yu.
Just when Zhong Qiguang was dispatching troops, Su Yu took the guards to the "Forty-Eight Villages" Juyi Hall, and along the way Su Yu saw that there were many sentries, and there were many earthen walls, mounds and other fortifications, which Su Yu wrote down one by one.
In the Juyi Hall, Su Yu met with more than 60 leaders of the bandits. The leader of the bandits was a Sven, white and pure middle-aged man named Black Dog, but Su Yu was keenly aware that there was no nickname for a cat.
The bandits' military division was called Elephant Er, and the other leaders all used animal and plant names as nicknames, and finally had a character, among these people, Su Yu found that one of them was a little familiar, and quickly remembered.
Bandits in film and television dramas
This was a small church master, named Xiao Pea'er, who turned out to be the small leader of the Great Knife Society in southern Zhejiang, who was captured by Su Yu and released after education, and later he defected to the "Forty-Eight Villages" and became the last church master here.
Speaking of Su Yu, he was kind to this little leader, so his eyes were more friendly, of course, he also knew how powerful Su Yu was.
Su Yu briefed the bandits on the composition and origin of the New Fourth Army, and also said the goals and purposes of the New Fourth Army, saying that the purpose of this visit to the mountain was to use the road to fight the Japanese, and that the New Fourth Army did not come to occupy the territory and did not come to ask them for money, but only hoped that the bandits would do a convenient job so as not to hurt the peace.
Although Su Yu said it politely, he expressed the meaning that he must go through the "forty-eight villages", but the bandit leader Black Dog was more arrogant and looked at Su Yu coldly.
After Su Yu finished speaking, the black dog skimmed his lips, and the big and small leaders began to ask Su Yu a lot of questions in black language, and Su Yu answered them one by one in plain language, in fact, Su Yu could also answer in black words, but he as the leader of the New Fourth Army could not do this.
At this time, the "black dog" put his face down and said a few words, which means that we ask you in the inner dialect, and you always answer in the official language, is it not looking down on us?
When the other bandits saw the leader say this, they also began to coax, and some put their hands on the guns around their waists.
Su Yu said without changing his color: "Commander Ben is not a person on the dao, nor is he going to your treasure land to make a living, the reason why I know the inner family dialect is because there are friends on the road in several provinces in Jiangnan, and I think that you are big and small, and you will not refuse to make more friends like me." ”
Su Yu's humble words made the bandits look at each other, and for a moment it was not easy to refute, and the black dog skimmed his lips again, only to see a middle-aged man of medium height come out, this person is the great protector of the bandits, he hugged his fist and said:
"Commander Su is a horned child of Zhenmin, Zhejiang, Gansu, and Anhui, and must have the ability to reach the heavens, and this protector wants to learn a lesson or two."
Su Yu saw that the arm of this great protector was relatively thick, and he knew that this person's marksmanship was definitely good.
Anyone who has played with guns knows that in order to shoot accurately, the hand must be able to hold the gun steadily, which requires considerable arm strength and wrist strength, arm strength and wrist strength are the foundation, and also need eyesight and a little talent.
Su Yu has been practicing marksmanship since he was a soldier, although he looks thin, but his arm strength and wrist strength are quite large, the marksmanship is particularly accurate, he is of course confident in comparing wu, for the bandits to test the gun method, Su Yu did not prevaricate, directly said:
"Just ask the Great Protector to teach you."
As the great protector of the bandits, his marksmanship is certainly good, and the protectors in the monasteries mainly rely on martial arts to serve people, while in the bandits, when they are the great protectors, they must obey people with gun methods.
Su Yu in "The Great Cause of Building an Army"
The conditions for the Contest of the Great Protector are: the head of the entourage of each side is topped with a wine cup, and one shot must be hit on the wine cup without hurting the hairs of the entourage.
After the Great Protector finished speaking, a young man with a wine cup on his head walked out, and some people immediately put a wine cup on the head of Su Yu's guards. Immediately, some bandits used plates to prop up two 70% or 80% new revolver guns and asked Su Yu to choose.
This is more difficult for ordinary people, but it is not difficult for Su Yu, because after all, it is a fixed target, the most difficult thing is to hit the moving target, and Su Yu hit the moving target is not a problem, let alone a fixed target.
However, the wine cup is held by its own guards, and it is not good to hurt your comrades. In addition, Su Yu considered that his main task was to borrow the way from the bandits, and he must save a certain amount of face for the bandits, but also show his marksmanship. The bandits looked down on themselves as small things, and looking down at the New Fourth Army was a big thing.
A group of bandits stared at Su Yu, who found a portrait of Guan Yunchang on the wall in front of the hall, and under the portrait there was an incense case, and on the incense case was a kneeling cat head statue.
Su Yu's eyes lit up after seeing the statue, originally he was confused that the bandit did not have the nickname of a cat, and now when he saw this kneeling cat-headed man statue, he understood that this kneeling cat-headed man statue must be the bandit's mortal enemy.
Su Yu smiled slightly, arched his hand at the black dog, and said, "Commander Ben has not played with guns for many years, how about asking the big boss to allow me to try guns before the competition?" ”
The bandits were stunned, the New Fourth Army had been fighting for many years, and Su Yu, as the commander of the advance team, had no reason not to touch the gun, and all the bandits thought that Su Yu was looking for a reason for losing the game.
The black dog said a little contemptuously, "Yes." ”
Su Yu casually took a pistol from the plate, loaded it with five bullets, and threw the kneeling wooden cat man statue on the incense case into the air, and he smashed the statue with one shot, this exquisite marksmanship made the bandits in the hall immediately emit a cheer.
Su Yu guessed correctly, there is also a band of bandits in this area, the leader is called "Night Owl", is the generational enemy of "Black Dog", the two teams often clash, and now Su Yu has broken the "Night Owl" with one shot, obviously showing his own goodwill, explaining that he is all the way with himself.
The bandits immediately realized: Su Yu was his own. The black dog was even more smiling.
The bandits thought that Su Yu already knew that their enemy was a "night owl", and they did not know that Su Yu had guessed it.
Bandits in film and television dramas
After the bandits finished cheering, Su Yu said:
"As the saying goes, one arrow will set the world, but unfortunately, Commander Ben only killed a night owl, and he was really ashamed, and in this contest, Commander Ben conceded defeat."
With Su Yu's marksmanship, if you compete in martial arts, you will definitely win, but Su Yu voluntarily concedes defeat, which makes the guards puzzled, and the bandits do not know what medicine Su Yu sells in the gourd.
Su Yu added, "In life, I talk about the two words of faith and righteousness, and since commander Ben has lost, he should admit it." This is the confession table, please laugh at the big boss. ”
The so-called confession table is actually a gift list, and the black dog takes the gift list, which reads: The advance detachment borrowed the road to go south, willing to send 500 rounds of bullets and 10 rifles to the "forty-eight villages".
According to the rules of the time, it was generally the guest who won, and pretended to be a draw, if the host accepted, that is, the actual conceding defeat, must do as the guest asked. This was also called sending steps in the underworld at that time, which meant to save face for the master.
The black dog greeted him with a smile, "We are friends, Commander Su is too polite."
At this time, the black dog was indeed a little embarrassed, if you don't accept it, these things look red, you know that for the bandits, these weapons are their lifeblood. If you take it, people's marksmanship is so good, and they also killed night owls, giving themselves enough face.
After the bandits consulted, they finally accepted Su Yu's gift.
In the afternoon of the same day, the advance detachment drove into the "Forty-Eight Villages" and spent the night in the village, where the bandits gave a warm reception.
The next day, the "black dog" led a group of bandit leaders to send off, and the two sides reached a three-point agreement
First, in the future, you can still borrow the road, but you must inform it in advance;
2. No camp shall be built within 48 miles of the "Forty-Eight Villages";
Third, if you are defeated by the Japanese army or puppet army, you will not get the "forty-eight villages" to hide from the wind.
For these demands, Su Yu also understood very well, and happily agreed, and the bandits saw that Su Yu was so happy and returned the 500 rounds of ammunition and 10 rifles given by Su Yu to the advance detachment.
Su Yu
In this way, Su Yu led the leading detachment through the "Forty-Eight Villages" smoothly. After that, the people of the "Forty-Eight Villages" remained neutral between the Japanese, the puppet army, the Kuomintang and the New Fourth Army, but repeatedly crossed the way for the advance detachment.
Bandits than test gun method, Su Yu gun method like a god, but voluntarily concede defeat, which reflects Su Yu's wisdom, afterwards found that Su Yu is really too clever, a difficulty in front of Su Yu was solved.
One of the fundamental reasons why Su Yu was able to become a commander at the level of the God of War later was su Yu's level of strategy, and his perception of the battlefield was far comparable, so he could fight the "Immortal Battle".
