In 1947, in the face of the cunning national army Zhang Lingfu, Su Yu, who had always been resourceful, also made difficulties.
At this time, a rural old man came to the headquarters to deliver water, and his unintentional words instantly solved Su Yu's dilemma for many days.
In the end, Su Yu successfully defeated the enemy army.
What did this old man say? How did Su Yu repel Zhang Lingfu?
neck and neck
If Su Yu is Chairman Mao's Zhuge Liang, then Zhang Lingfu is Lao Jiang's Zhou Yu.
Lao Jiang can be said to hate Su Yu to the core, but he is helpless. After the old Jiang Gang launched a full-scale civil war, he planted a heel in Su Yu's hands.
At that time, Lao Chiang was sitting on a heavy army and backed by the United States. With the addition of double strength, he is indeed qualified to see no one in his eyes.
At the time of the unification with our army to resist Japan, Lao Chiang already understood how difficult the conditions of our party were, and it was impossible to compare them with the advanced Kuomintang troops.
Therefore, after the start of the civil war, Lao Chiang immediately mobilized all his troops in an attempt to wipe out our party in one fell swoop in a short period of time, leaving no room for our party to breathe.
originally had absolute strength, and it was not difficult for Lao Jiang to complete the plan.
What makes Lao Jiang a headache is that our party is like a strong grass in the wilderness, no matter how much it is burned, it will not be burned inexhaustibly, and as soon as the spring breeze blows, it will grow all over the earth.
At first, Chiang wanted to occupy the Soviet-Central region. The conditions in the central part of the Soviet Union are excellent, and it is close to Nanjing, the nest of the Kuomintang.
If the Soviet-Central region could be captured, then the Kuomintang troops would be able to march all the way north, and they would be able to get a steady stream of supplies and supplies in the middle of the battle.
As the first step in the civil war, Lao Chiang directly summoned the 83rd Division of his descendant army to attack the Suzhou-Anhui border, which was bound to give our party a disadvantage.
At that time, our party was stationed in the central Soviet region with the Central China Field Force led by Su Yu. There were only about 30,000 troops participating in the battle.
In the face of the troops that were not the main force of our party, Lao Jiang directly mobilized 120,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on the border of Suzhou and Anhui, which shows Lao Jiang's impatience.
At that time, the main force of our army was also surrounded by Lao Chiang in Shandong, and the situation in the north and south was equally severe, and neither side could send reinforcements to each other.
The general trend of our army in the Soviet Union and China has gone. Chairman Mao immediately delivered a message to Su Yu, telling him to be mentally prepared to retreat and not to be the national army.
But Su Yu disagreed. If it is really as Lao Jiang thought, it is easy to hand over the Soviet Union and Central China to others, which will only fuel Lao Chiang's arrogance and destroy the prestige of our army.
So Su Yu made a decision to win a few battles in the Soviet Union. Even if it is a retreat, let Lao Jiang learn some lessons.
Lao Jiang's army looked terrifying, but in fact, Su Yu had already seen the flaws. The biggest mistake Lao Jiang made was to underestimate the enemy.
Originally, four times the strength of the national army was an absolute combat advantage, but Lao Chiang wanted to eat a bite and become fat, so he even arranged for the army to attack in separate ways, trying to occupy the entire Soviet Union and Central China in one day.
How could Su Yu do what he wished, and directly gather troops to attack the weakest team of the national army. After that, he deliberately asked the enemy army to deliver a message and ask for reinforcements.
After learning of Su Yu's location, the 83rd Division immediately sent people to reinforce it. At this time, Su Yu had already set up an ambush on their way.
After the 83rd Division fell into the trap, Su Yu directly led people to besiege it.
The main force of the national army was hit hard, and the other miscellaneous armies did not dare to support in order to protect themselves, and they actually watched their own people being beaten by Su Yu and fleeing in all directions.
When Lao Jiang learned of this, he severely scolded Li Tianxia, the commander of the 83rd Division. Before this, the 83rd Division was highly valued by Lao Jiang, and this was the first time that Lao Jiang reprimanded.
Some people in the national army have long been unaccustomed to the 83rd Division, and Zhang Lingfu is one of them.
Zhang Lingfu thought to himself, but anyone with a little brain, he will not be easily led by Su Yu.
Lao Chiang's current goal is to capture Suwan, and the 83rd Division is mainly for the national army. Li Tianxia actually fell into Su Yu's trap and lost most of the army.
Zhang Lingfu slandered Li Tianxia on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was a little jealous of Su Yu.
He thought that Su Yu was a person who knew people's hearts well, and he must be more careful if he met him on the battlefield in the future.
After that, Lao Jiang became vigilant, did not dare to attack hard, and began to slowly cultivate his own effective army.
In the days that followed, Zhang Lingfu led the 74th Division to charge for Lao Jiang, breaking through Su Yu's defense again and again, and directly capturing Lianghuai.
Zhang Lingfu was not easily confused by Su Yu like Li Tianxia, and after many days of storming the city, the central Soviet region completely fell.
Chairman Mao urgently ordered Su Yu to lead the army north and join the Shandong Field Army. Su Yu no longer fell in love with the war and immediately withdrew from the Central China Liberated Area.
Lao Jiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard about this. Zhang Lingfu is really his lucky star, with the powerful 74th Division, isn't his plan to unify the country just around the corner?
Stuck in a dilemma
After that, Zhang Lingfu led the 74th Division to pursue the victory and fought with Su Yu many times. The two of you come and go, and both sides have failed.
In 1947, the Nationalist army marched towards Shandong, planning to capture the Lunan region. At this time, it was Chen Yi and Su Yu's East China Field Army that was fighting in East China.
Shandong is an important military area of our party, and Lao Chiang no longer underestimated the enemy, and sent 24 divisions headed by the 74th Division to launch a fierce attack on our army.
Outnumbered, Su Yu repeated his old tricks and decided to disperse the enemy and then break the national army one by one.
Zhang Lingfu has been fighting with Su Yu for a long time, and he has long been familiar with Su Yu's combat strategy. Before leaving for Shandong, Lao Jiang repeatedly instructed him to be vigilant against Su Yu's trap.
The strength of the East China Field Army is strong and cannot be underestimated, and Zhang Lingfu is extremely cautious. He made up his mind and led the army to attack Lunan directly, not giving Su Yu a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Su Yu's plan to lure the enemy again and again did not work at all in front of Zhang Lingfu. The Lunan region soon fell into crisis.
Zhang Lingfu was carried away by the joy of victory at this time, what is a Su Yu? Where can he compare to Zhang Lingfu!
Su Yu was defeated one after another, and gradually became agitated, and now it seems that there is no room for maneuver.
Is there really only one option left to face the enemy directly?
Just when Su Yu made up his mind to fight against the water, Chairman Mao learned of his thoughts and hurriedly passed on the news to persuade him: Don't lose your fighting spirit, find out the flaws of the enemy army, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life.
Su Yu gave up the idea of rushing forward and walked alone to the courtyard to relax.
At this time, an old man from the countryside walked into the courtyard to bring water to the soldiers. Su Yu's army has been stationed here for a long time, and it has long established good relations with the people.
Su Yu is kind and never puts on an official show. Everyone likes to be close to this kind chief when they see Su Yu on weekdays.
The old man saw Su Yu's brows furrowed, so he deliberately laughed with him to make him happy.
Su Yu was distressed in his heart, so he only listened silently and didn't talk.
The old man talked about a strange thing he had encountered recently, he went fishing in the pond two days ago, and the pond was full of fish swimming in the water, but he didn't take the bait.
The old man wondered, he has been coming to this pond all the time, and every time he can return with a full load, why can't he catch it today?
A person next to him cleared his doubts. It turned out that two days ago, a rich man also came here to fish, using expensive bait, this fish is used to eating good bait, how can he eat his bad chaff?
The old man suddenly realized, went home and smeared his bait with some rape and caught the fish.
The old man smiled at Su Yu and said, This fish is really funny, it looks like a human, and it can taste good.
Su Yu was stunned, the fish still has to bite the hook, let alone the people? Su Yu patted his head, he finally knew where the crux was.
Back then, Su Yu relied on Li Tianxia's weakness to defeat the 83rd Division. Now doesn't Zhang Lingfu also see Su Yu's weakness and easily refuse to believe him?
Zhang Lingfu was cunning and brave in battle, and led the 74th Division to win countless battles. In the army, he was deeply appreciated by Lao Jiang, and he had long been fed with ambitions.
Just like that fish, when you eat something good, how can you be moved by a little favor.
The army sent out by Su Yu before was simply not enough for Zhang Lingfu to plug his teeth.
I was afraid that Chen Yi and Su Yu would go to invite Zhang Lingfu in person, and Zhang Lingfu would bite the hook.
Decisive battle against Meng Lianggu
Su Yu immediately called Chen Yi to discuss the strategy, and he decided to use the headquarters of the East China Field Army to lure Zhang Lingfu. After hearing this, Chen Yi immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
Speaking of the person Zhang Lingfu hates the most, if Su Yu is ranked second, then Chen Yi is definitely ranked first.
In his early years, Zhang Lingfu fought with our army in Jiangxi, and it was Chen Yi who fought against him at that time.
Chen Yi insisted on capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and directly attacked Zhang Lingfu's headquarters.
Zhang Lingfu was defeated, and one of his legs was directly blown up by Chen Yi, and now he needs crutches to walk. After that, every time Lao Jiang sent troops to attack Chen Yi, Zhang Lingfu would ask for help.
He said in the army that Chen Yi must be captured alive, and he will personally chop off Chen Yi's legs to take revenge!
Su Yu and Chen Yi thought that Zhang Lingfu would definitely not let go of the opportunity to capture the two henchmen. The two hit it off and immediately deployed the battle plan.
Zhang Lingfu did not relax here, and kept sending people to watch Chen Su's every move. On this day, his troops suddenly encountered fierce resistance from the East China Field Army.
The East China Field Army has been dormant for a long time, how can it be so ordinary?
At this time, the informant reported to Zhang Lingfu that this army was covering Chen Su's retreat, and they had found the headquarters of the two!
Zhang Lingfu's heart jumped violently, that was Su Yu's headquarters! As long as you lead the troops to pursue, you will definitely be able to break through the East China Field Army in one fell swoop!
Zhang Lingfu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and was about to give the order but stopped.
No, Su Yu has always been cautious, how could he reveal such a big flaw? If you rush to catch up, it will be bad if you fall into his trap.
If Zhang Lingfu jumped out of his mind and thought about it seriously, he would find that Su Yu's actions this time were almost exactly the same as the previous two times when he confused him.
It's just that this temptation is too big for Zhang Lingfu, and he is really reluctant to let it go. Zhang Lingfu's sensibility overcame reason, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the pursuit of Chen Su.
Seeing Zhang Lingfu chasing after him with his troops, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhang Lingfu was too firm in his heart and refused to fall into his trap.
So the 74th Division followed Su Yu all the way to the northeast. After arriving at Yimeng Mountain, our army had already set up an ambush here, and Zhang Lingfu was dizzy.
Zhang Lingfu found out that he had been tricked, but it was too late. He led his troops to hide in Menglianggu and asked for support from the 83rd Division.
Li Tianxia had a grudge against him for falling into the well back then, and had long wanted to get rid of Zhang Lingfu, so he deliberately delayed the rescue time.
Zhang Lingfu could not get reinforcements, and was besieged by Su Yu, gradually shrinking his position. He was forced into a narrow encirclement, and he was no longer able to resist.
In the end, the 74th Division was completely annihilated in the Battle of Menglianggu. Chiang Kai-shek's love will once again be lost at the hands of Su Yu.
