Chen Gengyuan has better qualifications than Su Yu, why did he widen the gap during the Liberation War, two mistakes were the key
In the long river of the Chinese revolution, the two generals, Chen Geng and Su Yu, each made great achievements in the cause of China's liberation with their unique talents and courage. Chen Geng, born in a scholarly family, has been brilliant since childhood, and his military talent has been fully demonstrated in the Red Army's Long March and the War of Resistance Against Japan. Su Yu, on the other hand, has grown from an ordinary soldier to an outstanding general, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield with his indomitable will and excellent strategic vision.
In the early days of the Liberation War, Chen Geng relied on his rich qualifications and experience to achieve a series of victories on the battlefield. However, as the war deepened, the gap between Chen Geng and Su Yu gradually widened. The reason for this is not only the difference in strategic vision and command ability between the two, but also two key mistakes, which became a turning point in Chen Geng's military career.
The first mistake occurred on a cloudy autumn day. Chen Geng's headquarters was heavily surrounded by enemy troops, and the situation was precarious. After careful consideration, Chen Geng decided to adopt the strategy of dividing his troops to break through. However, during the execution, there was confusion and disconnection in the troops due to poor communication and command errors. Although Chen Geng finally succeeded in breaking through, the troops suffered heavy losses and their combat effectiveness decreased significantly. This mistake made Chen Geng feel frustrated, and his prestige in the army was damaged to a certain extent.
The second mistake was even more serious. In a decisive battle, Chen Geng's division was responsible for blocking the enemy's main force. However, in the course of the battle, Chen Geng was overconfident and made a wrong judgment about the strength and tactics of the enemy army. He mistakenly believed that the enemy would take a frontal attack, so he deployed the main forces in the frontal defensive line. However, the enemy army adopted a roundabout tactic and successfully broke through Chen Geng's defensive line. This mistake led to heavy losses for Chen Geng's troops, and the tide of the battle was reversed. Chen Geng deeply reflected on his mistakes after the war, but this mistake has brought irreparable damage to his military career.
At the same time, Su Yu gradually emerged in the War of Liberation. He is good at analyzing the battlefield situation, formulating practical tactical plans, and is able to make decisive decisions at critical moments. In battle, he focused on teamwork and soldier training, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the troops. Therefore, Su Yu repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the War of Liberation and became a dazzling star in the army.
So, why did Chen Geng open up a gap with Su Yu in the Liberation War? In addition to the difference in strategic vision and command ability, the two key mistakes undoubtedly played a role in fueling the fire. These two mistakes not only caused Chen Geng's troops to suffer heavy losses, but also affected his prestige and status in the army. Through continuous learning and growth, Su Yu gradually adapted to the new war situation and tactical requirements, and became a truly outstanding general.
From Chen Geng's mistakes, we can draw the following enlightenment:
1. Overconfidence is fatal. In war, no general should be overconfident, otherwise it is easy to make a wrong judgment about the strength and tactics of the enemy army. Chen Geng's second mistake was because he was overconfident and did not correctly judge the enemy's tactics, which led to heavy losses for his troops.
Second, pay attention to teamwork and soldier training. Su Yu's emphasis on teamwork and soldier training during the war led to a significant increase in the combat effectiveness of his troops. Chen Geng, on the other hand, relatively ignored this point in the war, resulting in confusion and disconnection among the troops at critical moments.
3. Keep learning and growing. War is constantly changing, and only by constantly learning and growing can we adapt to the new war situation and tactical requirements. Su Yu continued to learn and grow during the war, and became a truly outstanding general. Chen Geng, on the other hand, fell into his own empiricism to a certain extent and failed to adapt to the new war situation in time.
Chen Geng's mistake and Su Yu's rise have left us with a profound warning. In future wars, we should focus on teamwork and soldier training, keep learning and growing, and avoid overconfidence and wrong judgment of enemy forces. Only in this way can we become truly outstanding generals and make greater contributions to the cause of China's liberation.
So, as readers, how do you think we should avoid mistakes like Chen Geng's and learn from Su Yu's merits in future wars? This is an issue worthy of our deep reflection and discussion.
