General Su Yu has always been called the "God of War" in the army, whether it is commanding combat planning, or carrying guns and guns to get swords, General Su Yu is not a word. During the Liberation War, the Battle of Meng Lianggu made General Su Yu famous in China...
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > general's forehead running carriage, Su Yu did not count the previous suspicions</h1>
Speaking of the relationship between Su Yu and Xu Shiyou, it is necessary to start from the period of the Liberation War. When the East China Field Army was established that year, Su Yu deservedly became the commander of Huaye because of his outstanding military achievements, and became the number one person in Huaye, commanding more than a dozen columns under his command, and was a veritable commander-in-chief of the Thousand Armies.
At this time, Xu Shiyou was a column commander in Huaye's various columns, and his rank was far lower than that of Su Yu. Xu Shiyou, who thought that Xu Shiyou, who was "inferior to others", would obey orders and listen to commands under Su Yu's account, but Xu Shiyou preferred to "cause trouble" to his superiors.
According to the "Annals of Su Yu", "In March 1947, the Kuomintang army invaded the Yimeng Mountains on a large scale, and HuaYe began to retreat under the command of Su Yu in order to achieve the purpose of confusing the enemy in order to avoid the enemy's sharp edge. But Xu Shiyou, as the commander of the Ninth Column, seemed to be unoptimistic about Su Yu's decision from the beginning. He said at the military meeting of the Ninth Column: "The headquarters told us to retreat, I don't think it is necessary, but it is difficult to violate the military orders." Order all the retreating troops of the Ninth Column to be ready to counterattack the enemy at any time. Wait for me to order a counterattack on the enemy. ”
Xu Shiyou himself was very disgusted with the retreat, but when the Ninth Column retreated dozens of miles, Su Yu called him and asked the Ninth Column to return to the original road. The phone call was still on the phone, and Xu Shiyou said angrily: "You only know how to calculate the enemy army on the map, and you don't consider reality at all!" After saying that, Xu Shiyou "snapped" the phone and dropped it.
Su Yu was probably angry enough, but he did not hate Xu Shiyou because of this, but only regarded him as a "reasonable vent" for the soldiers.
Three months had passed, and Liu Deng's army, on the instructions of the Central Military Commission, advanced thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains. On June 30, Su Yu, who was planning a full-scale attack on Shandong, received orders from the Central Military Commission to march west to cooperate with Liu Deng's army. According to the "Biography of Su Yu", "Su Yu wanted to lead his troops to the southwest of Lu, and the main force was gone, but three columns were left in the east. ”
Since the column was to remain behind, it was necessary to choose a corps-level commander to command the Eastern Front Corps. In terms of the selection of commanders, Su Yu thought of Xu Shiyou.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Chairman Mao: Xu knew how to fight, and called him a commander</h1>
Su Yu received telegrams from Chairman Mao for several days in succession, asking him to transfer to southwest Lu as soon as possible, and at the same time immediately nominate the commander of the Eastern Front Corps. Su Yu wrote in a reply to Chairman Mao: "The corps that remained on the Eastern Front consisted of the Second, Seventh, and Ninth Columns, and the headquarters of the Eastern Corps was formed, with Tan Zhenlin as commander, Xu Shiyou as deputy commander, and Li Yu as political commissar. ”
Su Yu's call back was quickly approved by Chairman Mao. According to the "Biography of Su Yu", "Chairman Mao affirmed Su Yu's deployment in his reply, and then said: Tan Zhenlin is okay with political work, and it is not as good as Xu Shiyou to fight a war, so let Xu Shiyou be the commander." ”
Chairman Mao's consideration was still very thoughtful, and among the three column commanders, Xu Shiyou was the oldest and the most qualified. Although Tan Zhenlin is huaye's deputy political commissar and concurrently serves as commander, in the end, this is in the war period, or special treatment. So Xu Shiyou, who could fight a good battle, became the commander of the Eastern Front Corps.
Xu Shiyou can be said to have been promoted two levels in a row, and suddenly changed from a column commander to a corps commander. This is still thanks to Su Yu.
Of course, Xu Shiyou understood this, and he admired General Su Yu's temperament and vision, so Xu Shiyou and Su Yu "iced the previous suspicions". During his tenure as commander of the Eastern Corps, Xu Shiyou, together with Tan Zhenlin and Wang Jian'an, commanded troops to capture the city of Jinan, annihilated hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops, basically liberated Shandong Province, and connected several large liberated areas in east and north China.
Xu Shiyou's position in Huaye was prominent, and his influence even surpassed that of Huaye's chief of staff Chen Shiqu and Tang Liang, director of the Political Department, with unlimited scenery. From this, it is not difficult for us to see that General Su Yu has a unique vision for the selection of generals and the insight of Chairman Mao.
Although Xu Shiyou was short-tempered, he still knew how to drink water and think of the source when dealing with Su Yu, who was kind to him. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, whenever Su Yu went to Nanjing or Guangzhou, Xu Shiyou would definitely receive him respectfully. Su Yu's old mother has been in Nanjing for the elderly because of her mobility problems and the inability to adapt to the climate of Beijing, xu Shiyou often sends people to greet the elderly after knowing it, and also sends some living expenses from time to time to support Su Yu's mother.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Su Yu shows his magic skills, and Xu Shiyou bows to the wind</h1>
In the eyes of more people, Su Yu is a strategist who "strategizes and wins thousands of miles away", but in fact, Su Yu is also a brave general. According to the "Biography of Su Yu", "Su Yu was injured 6 times in his life, and 3 of them were fatal injuries that almost killed him. The remaining 3 were also seriously injured. During the Nanchang Uprising, Su Yu was shot in the head and abandoned by the platoon leader, and finally survived with tenacious perseverance. ”
Until Su Yu's death, there were still three pieces of shrapnel in his body that had not been removed. Su Yu was also tortured by these 3 pieces of shrapnel for more than 30 years. From Su Yu's experience of being injured, we can conclude that Su Yu is a brave general who dares to fight and dare to take risks on the battlefield.
As a brave general, Su Yu also has a miraculous skill, that is, shooting. Su Yu's shooting skills are very exquisite, and it is not an exaggeration to call him "sharpshooter". And Su Yu likes guns very much, whether when he is a soldier or a commander, Su Yu is a gun.
According to the "Biography of Su Yu", "Su Yu has a very delicate pistol, and Su Yu loves this pistol so much that he takes it out every day to wipe it and sleeps in his arms." At that time, some cadres jokingly said to Su Yu: 'Don't marry your daughter-in-law in the future, just go with the gun'."
Su Yu not only liked guns, but even Xu Shiyou sighed with guns. One day in 1962, Su Yu, accompanied by one of his subordinates of that year, came to the hunting ground in Nanjing to hunt. At that time, Xu Shiyou, Su Yu and Han Xianchu all saw a running hare.
Han Xianchu fired a shot first, but it did not hit, Xu Shiyou had some "technical itching", picked up the gun and hit the rabbit. I don't know if the rabbit ran too fast, or Xu Shiyou was in a bad state, and this shot did not hit.
The frightened rabbit, at this time, ran faster, Su Yu saw it, pulled out his pistol and aimed at the hare, and the shot hit. Xu Shiyou saw it and said, "Still the old chief is strong, and we are willing to bow to the wind." ”
