In his later years, Su Yu once said to his children: "I can't see future wars, and once a war starts, it will depend on your younger generation." He also said: "There are talented people in the Jiangshan generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years." These two sentences not only represent the expectations of a generation of war god Su Yu for his son, but also the generation of China's outstanding military experts. It is worth mentioning that before that, Su Yu had also been angry with his eldest son Su Rong because of an incident, and was quite angry at the tactics formulated by his son. What made Su Yu so angry? Today we will understand the story of Su Yu and his son Su Rongsheng.

In 1941, Su Yu, the head of the New Fourth Army, who was fighting the War of Resistance in Jiangnan at the time, and Chu Qing, a stenographer of the Secretariat of the New Fourth Army, married a lifelong companion at the headquarters. The following year, in the smoke of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Su Yu and Chu Qing's eldest son Su Rongsheng was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, and because Su Yu was leading the First Division of the New Fourth Army to carry out a difficult anti-"sweep" and anti-"clearing" struggle, the young Su Rongsheng could not follow his father's large army, but could only raise him in the home of his grandfather Zhan Keming, and Su Yu entrusted his father-in-law and mother-in-law to help take care of him. Zhan Keming admired his son-in-law Su Yu's career as a horseman, and gladly agreed, and because his grandson was born in the war, his grandfather named him:"Rongsheng". After Su Yu and his wife learned about it, they were also very satisfied.

After two years, the army set up a nursery school, and wherever the troops marched, the nursery followed, and Su Rongsheng grew up here. In the nursery, Su Rongsheng did not enjoy special care because he was the child of the chief's family, Su Yu was very strict about his son's education, at that time, Su Yu in order to cultivate Su Rongsheng's character, hone his willpower, admonished him: "Do not be picky about eating, do not cry when marching at night, and do not shout when hungry and cold." ”

In order to let his son have the dream of serving the country as a soldier from an early age, when Su Rongsheng was 5 years old, Su Yu gave him a special birthday gift, a pistol captured from the hands of Kuomintang non-commissioned officers. This gift expressed General Su Yu's expectations for his son, so that the young Su Rongsheng had a sense of mission and was full of yearning for life in the army. After the victory of the Liberation War, due to the needs of work, Su Yu went to Beijing to take up a post, and Su Rongsheng went to Beijing with his parents and brother to study at the famous Bayi Primary School. As soon as he went to school, his father let Su Rongsheng live in the school, take care of himself, and live a simple and hard life, Su Rongsheng did not complain about his father's arrangement, but instead faced the difficulties and became a pacesetter for the classmates to compete for learning.

Later, Su Rongsheng went to middle school and began to receive military training such as shooting and fighting, and every weekend and holiday, Su Rongsheng always returned home to chat with his father about the story of leading soldiers to fight in the past, and when he was not busy, General Su Yu would personally take Su Rongsheng and Su Hansheng brothers to the range to practice marksmanship, and by the way, he also gave him guidance in all aspects. Su Yu's marksmanship is accurate, and he often competes with his two sons. Under the influence of his father's words and deeds, Su Rongsheng has always been eager to go to the battlefield and make contributions to the country. After graduating from high school, Su Rongsheng's dream came true, he was admitted to the gate of Kazakhstan's military industry, put on the military uniform of chao si musing, and gloriously became a student of the ninth phase of the Missile Engineering Department. This Beijing boy, who was not tall and physically strong, and who spoke a Hunan accent, was particularly devoted to being a soldier, never lazy in military training, and suffered the most hardships, leaving a deep impression on the cadets of the same period.

General Su Rongsheng

During Su Rongsheng's schooling in the Kazakh military industry, Su Yu often wrote letters in Beijing, in which he greeted his son with a warm greeting and at the same time warned his son that modern warfare can be different from the millet plus rifle in the past, and that modern science and technology are needed, and that he should make up his mind to master basic hard skills. Su Rongsheng also kept his father's teachings in mind and studied hard in the university. In a flash, Su Rongsheng's college time passed, and Su Rongsheng successfully graduated with excellent results. After graduation, he did not enter a large organ or return to work in a big city like Beijing, but went to a missile detachment on the front line of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam in Yunnan, and trained himself in the grass-roots front. In Yunnan, Su Rongsheng often remembered his father's teaching: "It is best to start as a soldier in the army and gain experience at a higher level, and the foundation for halfway out of the family is always not solid." In the Yunnan Border Defense Force, the harsh working environment for Su Rongsheng is a small fight, the most headache for him is still unable to complete professional work independently, although Su Rongsheng is a graduate of The Kazakh military industry, but after all, what he learned in school is only theoretical knowledge, and the operation of various missiles still cannot catch up with the veterans on the front line. Su Rongsheng, who learned of the gap, worked harder, and often used his off-duty time to discuss with veterans and masters, and strived to improve his practical ability.

Su Rongsheng observed from the front line

Life on the front line is full of tension, and when the enemy is in a long situation, several battle sirens are sounded every day, and when the alarm is sounded, everyone is in place, and no one can stay away from the position. From a soldier to a platoon leader, Su Rongsheng worked for four or five years, and also became an excellent veteran of the unit who was familiar with various operations. With the continuous increase of experience, Su Rongsheng slowly also embarked on the position of army leader, at different stages of life, Su Yu also has different requirements for Su Rongsheng, when Su Rongsheng is still a platoon leader, Su Yu often reminds his son to love soldiers and remember not to put up a leadership frame. When Su Rongsheng became a regimental cadre, Su Yu and his son discussed how to arrange tactics. As we all know, Su Yu loves to look at maps when fighting wars, and often has to study the maps more than a dozen times before making major decisions. During the Huaihai Battlefield, Su Yu found that Huang Wei's army march was in the Huang Pan area, and concluded that Huang Wei was not walking fast. Sure enough, the cars of the Huang Wei Corps were all stuck in the mud, and the American equipment could not be used at all, not as fast as the people's small carts, and Su Yubing was fast, and the tens of thousands of elites of the Huang Wei Corps were completely annihilated in one fell swoop.

Commanders of Sanye: Chen Yi and Su Yu

In the words of General Su Yu, looking at maps and looking at terrain is a compulsory course for military commanders. Su Rongsheng also mentioned in his memories that his father's office was full of various maps, and there were detailed maps of Taiwan behind the door, and when the father and son talked on weekdays, they also let him look at the map more, and even a few times he also "examined" his son, randomly asking him where several places were and what important geographical locations were nearby. Su Yu not only likes to look at the map, but also loves to conduct field investigations, once, Su Yu and Su Rongsheng went to a strategic place, the two climbed to a high place, from the perspective of the attacker and defender, the map should be three-dimensional in the mind, not flat, Su Rongsheng understood the truth of his father. Later, whenever Su Rongsheng returned home from a vacation in the army, he would discuss the war with his retired father, and Su Rongsheng also jokingly told everyone: "We are a pair of military fathers and sons."

After Su Yu retreated to the second line, he also always cared about the development of the troops, and at that time our army was facing mechanization reform, and the combat mode of the troops also changed to a motorized joint of the three armed forces of the navy, army and air force. At a seminar on how to conduct tank warfare, Su Yu and Su Rongsheng discussed, at which point Su Yu was caught the attention of a public poster in the house in which five or six soldiers rushed towards a moving tank with explosive equipment. Su Yu looked at the painting, was very angry, and said sternly to Su Rongsheng: "You can't fight like this, how can you fight a tank with a few people holding explosive packages and rush in like this, how much price will it cost?" How could this blow up the enemy's tanks? All exposed to enemy fire points. ”

Su Rongsheng quickly explained to his father that this was just a propaganda poster and was meant to render the heroic temperament of our soldiers, and it was impossible to arrange such an arrangement in real combat. Su Yu was even more excited when he heard this: "How can propaganda be divorced from reality?" This left the first impression on the soldiers to rush in with their explosives packs, which could not hit the cluster tanks at all." Su Yu told Su Rongsheng that in modern warfare, to fight tanks, we must have modern weapons, and when the weapons are good, we must pay more attention to the use of tactics, and we must not blindly and confidently despise the enemy.

The communication between father and son often brought great inspiration to Su Rongsheng, who in his youth paid more attention to learning some regular things in the future anti-aggression war, and in the days of leading the troops to train and fight in the future, he actively carried out scientific research, won the second prize of the national scientific and technological progress award, the first prize of the army's scientific and technological progress, and many other awards, and also won more than a dozen state patented technologies. Su Rongsheng also became a talent who could not only command operations, but also organize scientific research forces to conduct research.

In his later years, Su Yu often invited his son to come to discuss and let him put forward his own opinions in the "Memoirs of the Su Yu War" and some military anthologies, which were summarized by General Su Yu's experience in his life and were the essence of repeated deletions after decades of review and thinking. When Su Rongsheng participated in helping his father sort out his memoirs, he also deeply learned a lot of knowledge, which can be described as a great benefit. It can be said that in addition to his hard work to improve his professional ability, his father's help to him is also very important.

In 1984, Su Yu's condition gradually deteriorated, because after years of running in the war, Su Yu was injured 6 times in his life and injured his head twice, which made Su Yu suffer from injuries and pain. As early as 1950, when the country was just founded, Su Yu's body had problems, Su Yu suffered from high blood pressure, Meniere's syndrome, did not get better after treatment in Qingdao, and was approved by Chairman Mao to go to the Soviet Union to recuperate. Although Su Yu gradually recovered in the later period, with the increase of age, Su Yu's body also had various problems. After October 1975, Su Yu had many attacks of heart disease, pleurisy, pneumonia and other diseases, and was often admitted to the hospital. At the end of January, General Su Yu was critically ill, and the hospital informed Su Rongsheng and his mother Chu Qing, and Su Rongsheng, who had learned the news, rushed back from the army to the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Beijing. Chu Qing saw that the children were all coming, and Qiang Endured grief and told Su Yu that the children were all coming. General Su Yu on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes and looked at the family standing next to him without saying a word, but at the moment his eyes stayed on his child for a long time.
