What is the relationship between Chen Su? Why did Chen Yi criticize Su Yu in 1958? Su Yu: Comrade Chen Yi is great!
The relationship between Chen Yi and Su Yu has always been talked about by military enthusiasts.
Some people say that Chen does not leave Su Su and does not leave Chen, and most of Chen Yi's credit is Su Yu's, and it is difficult for Su Yu to command when he leaves Chen Yi to sit in the town.
Some people also say that it is a false proposition that Chen does not leave Chen without Su Su, because even during the Liberation War, when the two worked the most closely together and had the most significant combat achievements, they gathered less and separated more, so there was no question of who could not do without whom.
Some people even pointed out several differences in the history of Chen Yi and Su Yu to prove that the relationship between Chen Su and Su Yu was actually very stiff, especially when Su Yu was criticized in 1958, Chen Yi took the lead in firing, making Su Yu very passive, wanting to prove that Chen Yi and Su Yu not only could not talk about good personal friendship, but even smooth cooperation.
So, what is the relationship between Chen Yi and Su Yu? Were the several disagreements between the two during the Liberation War normal work disagreements? In 1958, why did Chen Yi suddenly stand up first and criticize Su Yu? What's all going on here?
In fact, figuring out all this is not complicated, the key is to put things in a specific environment, not just talk about things.
Chen Yi and Su Yu had known each other for many years before they formally cooperated.
The understanding of General Chen Su was a long time ago, when the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, Su Yu was a guard squad leader under Ye Ting, and participated in the Nanchang Uprising with the troops, which became almost the standard for senior generals in our army.
On the way of the rebel army to Guangdong as planned, Chen Yi caught up with the team and was appointed as an instructor of the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the 11th Army.
However, at that time, Su Yu was still an unknown grassroots cadre of the army, while Chen Yi was already famous, and he and Zhou Enlai became revolutionary comrades as early as in France. Chen Yi's coming to vote let Zhou Enlai sweep away the haze, when Cai Tingkai just led a division to defect, Chen Yi said heroically: "Wang Baegg's gone, I, Chen Yi, are here!" ”
Later, the Nanchang uprising troops, led by Zhu De and Chen Yi, first launched the Hunan Uprising, and then went to Jinggangshan to meet Mao Zedong, Chen Yi, like Mao Zedong and Zhu De, became the founder of the earliest Red Army, the Red 4th Army, and in the process, Su Yu has been in the ranks.
Later, Chen Yi and Su Yu went to the Central Soviet Region, during this period Su Yu's growth rate was rapid, and by the eve of the Long March, he was already the chief of staff of the Red 7th Army and was already regarded as the backbone general of the Red Army.
During the 25,000-mile long march, Chen Yi and Su Yu did not participate, Chen Yi stayed in the Central Soviet Region due to injury, and Su Yu went with the Red 7th Army to meet Fang Zhimin, and eventually both stayed in the south and became the representative figures of the Red Army guerrilla war in the eight southern provinces, but because the environment was too dangerous, although both were in the south, they were not in the same place.
Chen Su officially cooperated in the winter of 1939, when Chen Yi was appointed commander of the Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army and Su Yu was deputy commander.
Chen Yi's qualifications were much older than Su Yu's, and Chen Yi played a key role in the Nanchang Uprising, and it is difficult to say whether the spark of the Nanchang Uprising would have been preserved had he not assisted Zhu De in rectifying his ranks, launching the Hunan Uprising, and joining forces with Mao Zedong Jinggangshan.
Later, on Jinggangshan, Chen Yi became one of the "Three Giants of Jinggangshan" alongside Mao Zedong and Zhu De, and even served as the highest leader of the Red 4th Army for a time, the former party secretary.
Even if Chen Yi's status declined when he arrived in the Central Soviet Region, at least he was the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi Military Region and the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, and he was also a major member, while Su Yu was only the chief of staff of a partial division and had a very limited right to speak.
In the era of the New Fourth Army, Chen Yi's position was still extremely important. On the surface, he is only one of the commanders of the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, but because he also serves as the deputy secretary of the New Fourth Army branch of the Central Military Commission, his actual influence in the army is second only to Xiang Ying, and he is the number two figure in the New Fourth Army.
In November 1939, the higher authorities decided to exercise unified command over the Jiangnan troops of the New Fourth Army, so the 1st and 2nd detachments were merged into the Jiangnan Command, with Chen Yi as the commander and Su Yu as the deputy commander.
This was the beginning of Chen Su's formal cooperation, and since then the duo has gradually become known, becoming another revolutionary pair after Zhu Mao and Liu Deng, and the two continued to cooperate in East China until the founding of New China.
Chen Su Group: Prestige and distant earthquake, liberating the southeast half in one fell swoop.
The first great achievement of Chen Su's group was the successful transfer of the strategic center of gravity of the New Fourth Army from southern Anhui to northern Jiangsu.
The shift of the strategic center of gravity of the New Fourth Army was the trend of the times, because the southern Anhui region was a place where the Kuomintang army gathered heavy troops, and it was unfavorable to our side in terms of military strength, geographical superiority, and mass base, so Mao Zedong had long been far-sighted and hoped that the military headquarters would shift its center of gravity to northern Jiangsu.
Chen Yi was the first to understand and implement this strategic intention of the central authorities, so he and Su Yu spent a lot of energy to straighten out the situation in northern Jiangsu, taking advantage of the contradictions between the Japanese army, the puppet army and the recalcitrant army, and treating local powerful factions such as Han Deqin, Li Mingyang, and Li Changjiang differently, and the decisive battle of Huangqiao laid the foundation for the development of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu in one fell swoop.
After the Southern Anhui Incident, Chen Yi, acting commander of the New Fourth Army, and Liu Shaoqi, political commissar, rebuilt the New Fourth Army headquarters in Yancheng, Jiangsu, and the New Fourth Army was even stronger after being reborn from the ashes, and it has grown to more than 90,000 people in 7 divisions, which is nine times that of when it first became an army a few years ago!
At this time, Su Yu served as the commander of the first division.
Chen Yi and Su Yu's achievements in the Liberation War have been recorded in history, too brilliant!
After experiencing their own dissatisfaction in the early stages (Chen Yi failed in Si County, Su Yu although the Soviet Union and China fought seven battles and seven victories, but Huai'an and Huaiyin were still lost), the East China Field Army was established, Chen Yi sat in command, Su Yu was in charge of the military, and since then Huaye began a series of jaw-dropping battles.
From the Battle of Menglianggu to the Battle of Jinan, from the Battle of Huaihai to the Battle of Crossing the River, Su Yu achieved the prestige of the God of War, creating a record of 550,000 enemies annihilated in World War I, which has not been broken so far, in the Battle of Crossing the River, the Third Field Army and the Second Field Army and the Fourth Field Army cooperated to overthrow the rule of the Kuomintang in Nanjing, and the three most important cities in the southeast, Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, were all liberated by Chen Su's Third Field Army!
The differences between Chen Yi and Su Yu in the war proved Su Yu's military genius, and also proved Chen Yi's integrity.
Chen Yi and Su Yu had more than one dispute and disagreement in the war, but most of the articles that can be seen so far analyze the problems from a tactical point of view, paying special attention to such as Chen Yi's defeat in Sixian County, Su Yu's seven battles and seven victories, internal and external battles, and the defense of the two Huai.
These differences do prove that Su Yu's tactical level is higher than Chen Yi, and although Chen Yi also has outstanding military and political talents, he is definitely slightly inferior to the God of War.
But in the dispute between Chen Yi and Su Yu, I think the most reflective of the characteristics of the two is Su Yu's visit to Jiangnan, which is a major matter related to the strategic pattern.
After Liu Deng's army leaped thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountain, although the situation in the Central Plains has changed, it still faces great pressure, the Central Plains is the place where the enemy army is heavily armed, Liu Deng, Chen Su and Chen Xie three armies advanced into the Central Plains, the war was glued, Mao Zedong was very anxious, so he came up with a strategic trick: send Su Yu to lead the three main columns of Huaye down the Jiangnan to carry out lenient combat tasks, and then a Liu Deng-style leap forward of thousands of miles to stir up the enemy defense line in the south of the Jiangnan!
Su Yu was seriously preparing for this strategic mission at first, but in the process of preparation, he had his own considerations: the purpose of this trip to Jiangnan was to mobilize the enemy army to the south, thereby reducing the pressure on the Central Plains. However, after analysis, it was impossible for the two Kuomintang ace armies in the Central Plains to be transferred south, while Chiang Kai-shek, the two aces of the Gui family, did not allow them to transfer south, so as not to return to the mountains. Moreover, the 3 main columns going down to the southeast will inevitably disperse the forces of the Central Plains, but it will be more unfavorable.
Therefore, Su Yu believes that it is better to fight a big war of annihilation in the Central Plains.
Chen Yi objected to Su Yu's view, first, because he had formulated this strategic principle together with Mao Zedong and other central leaders, and second, because his long-term revolutionary practice made him very impressed with Mao Zedong.
Since the "Eighth National Congress" of the 4th Red Army, Chen Yi, Zhou Enlai, and Li Lisan spent more than two months in Shanghai drafting the "September Letter", and the drafting process for Chen Yi was the process of recognizing the greatness of Mao Zedong, and since then he has been pleased and sincere with Mao Zedong's leadership.
Of course, when Su Yu presented his ideas to Chen Yihe, Chen Yi also felt reasonable, so he supported him to state his views to the Central Telegram. In the end, Mao Zedong adopted Chen Su's view that instead of dividing troops into the south of the Jiangsu, he concentrated superior forces to fight a large war of annihilation in the Central Plains—this was the original strategic concept of the Huaihai War.
In 1958, why did Chen Yi take the lead in "Criticism"?
In 1958, Su Yu was criticized for "individualism", and at the conference, the first to speak was Chen Yi!
Therefore, many people say that the contradiction between Chen Yi and Su Yu is very deep, Chen Yi is falling into the well of his old comrades-in-arms, and his speech has made Su Yu's situation more difficult.
What's more, after reading some online novels and biographical novels of Jiang Shuai, many people regard the novel as historical fact and fictionalize a lot of plots, especially Chen Xiaolu, the son of Chen Yi, who later married Su Huining, the daughter of Su Yu, and was said that Su Yu "took in" Chen Xiaolu...
Although Chen Yi was in a bad situation during his lifetime, Mao Zedong had already attended his memorial service (Mao Zedong rarely participated in the memorial service of his comrades after liberation, so Chen Yi's weight in his mind can be imagined), which is already an informal affirmation, while Su Yu has not been rehabilitated before his death, and Su Yu took Chen Yi's son, which is too funny.
The reason why Chen Yi took the lead in speaking when criticizing was actually to set the tone for the meeting, so as not to let people exploit loopholes. After Su Yu finished the review, Chen Yi was the first to applaud. That speaks volumes.
After the founding of New China, especially after returning to Beijing from eastern China, Chen Yi and Su Yu had little intersection, because the two were already working in different fields, Chen Yi served as vice premier of the State Council, only in name in the army, while Su Yu's energy was mainly in the army, serving as the chief of the general staff of New China, one in the locality, the other in the army, and it was normal to have no work contacts.
In fact, we only need to read "Memoirs of Su Yu's War" to see the relationship between Chen Su, and in the tome as thick as a brick, the three people mentioned the most by Su Yu are Mao Zedong, Zhu De and Chen Yi! Every time Chen Yi is mentioned, he is called "Comrade Chen Yi", full of affection and nostalgia, and praises his great contributions in various periods.
If the relationship between Su Yu and Chen Yi is really so bad, why did he praise Chen Yi so much in his memoirs? Isn't it okay if you don't write? What's more, after Chen Yi died, he married his beloved daughter to Chen Xiaolu, which was the best footnote for Chen Su's fighting friendship.
Su Yu's mind and temperament are undoubtedly amazing, and Chen Yi's belief in the revolution has never wavered, which is the fundamental reason why they cherish each other!
