In 1974, Su Yu met his old subordinate Wang Bicheng and told him the story of Sima Qian, which Chairman Mao had told. Su Yu said that Sima Qianzhong was slandered, and he was suspicious of his faith, and he was subjected to the most humiliating palace punishment, but he still endured the humiliation and burden, and insisted on finishing the "History".
Why did Su Yu tell Wang Bicheng all this? What was his true intention? Did Wang Bicheng understand?
In the East China Battlefield, Su Yu had the famous Three Tiger Generals, namely Ye Wangtao, Ye Fei was in charge of Fujian for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, mainly responsible for local affairs, Tao Yong unfortunately died early in 1967, and Wang Bicheng remained in the army and later served as the commander of the Grand Military Region.
Wang Bicheng is a famous tiger general who threatens east China. In 1969, Chairman Mao personally signed an order appointing Wang Bi as the first deputy commander of the Kunming Military Region. Wang Bicheng came from East China to the southern frontier of the motherland and guarded the border pass.
Hearing that Wang Bicheng had come, the remnants of the Kuomintang Li Mi, who were active in the Golden Triangle area, were distraught. Li Mi once commanded a corps in the Battle of Huaihai, and in the Battle of Huaihai he escaped by chance, and he fully understood Wang Bicheng's might, and he gave a special explanation that he could not act rashly.
There were far fewer secret agents raiding my southwestern border. After Wang Bicheng arrived, he was preoccupied with work, and on his schedule, there were only seven weeks, not Sundays. Everyone says that once the tiger is out of the mountain, there will be no free time.
Once, Wang Bicheng went down to investigate, living in a certain regiment in a border town, and at night, there was a sudden burst of gunfire, and everyone was panicked and worried about Wang Bicheng's safety. Wang Bicheng was very calm, and he judged through the sound of gunfire that someone was hunting, and the location was about 800 meters away. So don't panic.
The next day, the troops went to investigate and found that the situation was exactly the same as what Wang Bicheng had said. And that's where it goes. Wang Bicheng said that there was nothing terrible about last night's gunshots, but these guns should not be scattered in the hands of locals, which will bring harm to society, and guns should be confiscated and stored as soon as possible.
In 1971, with Chairman Mao's personal approval, Wang Bicheng was appointed commander of the Kunming Military Region. The change from the first deputy commander to the right commander shows that the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao fully recognized Wang Bicheng's work. That year, Wang Bicheng was 59 years old.
In 1972, the Yunnan Production and Construction Corps was established, and a grassroots report reflected that many elderly young women in the Production and Construction Corps had difficulty in marriage. Wang Bicheng said that when the parents of the family give the dolls to us, we must take them well and let the family rest assured.
In order to solve the problem of marriage and mating difficulties, Wang Bicheng mobilized 5,000 veterans throughout the region to support the construction of the corps, which not only sent fresh blood to the construction of the corps, but also solved the problem of finding objects for the elderly young women in the corps. Some young women said excitedly that the head of the military region cared more for us than her parents.
By 1974, Wang Bicheng had been working in the Kunming Military Region for several years, and he was upright and upright, offending the Gang of Four forces, so that the work of the Military Region could not be carried out normally. After Premier Zhou learned of this, he quickly gave instructions: He agreed to Comrade Wang Bicheng going to Beijing to clarify the situation.
On 21 April, Wang Bicheng arrived in Beijing and stayed on the second floor of the Jingxi Hotel, and Chen Xilian, commander of the Beijing Military Region, came to visit him in the future and asked with concern: Lao Wang, how is his health? In the Red Fourth Front, Wang Bicheng was Chen Xilian's old subordinate.
Seeing that the old chief had come, Wang Bicheng felt very kind, and he said very excitedly that there was nothing wrong with his body, that is, his heart was uncomfortable. Chen Xilian comforted him and said, Lao Wang, rest for a few days, and then say, nourish your body, the sky will not fall.
Many elderly comrades-in-arms came to see Wang Bicheng, such as Su Yu, Li Xiannian, Xu Shiyou, Li Desheng, Han Xianchu, Yang Dezhi, Yang Yong, and so on. Admiral Yang Yong was the most humorous, he shook Wang Bicheng's hand and said, I heard that you, the East China tiger, after arriving in Xishuangbanna, the tigers in the primeval forest always wanted to bite you and were injured, right?
Wang Bicheng also humorously replied, I heard that your horse, in the desert of Xinjiang, also ate a lot of wind and sand. The old chief Su Yu then said, "I see that one of you is in the southwest and the other is in the northwest, and you have suffered a lot.
Under the personal care of Premier Zhou, Wang Bicheng's question was quickly clarified, but some people still did not let him go and continued to interfere with his work. Chen Xilian asked Wang Bicheng to personally write a letter to Chairman Mao explaining the situation.
On April 28, Wang Bicheng reported to Chairman Mao in the form of a letter on the development of his work in the Kunming Military Region. One day in May, Chen Xilian rushed to Wang Bicheng and said: Chairman Mao read the letter you wrote to Chairman Mao on the same day, and personally gave instructions and forwarded it to the Standing Committee members: Comrade Wang Bicheng's problem can be clearly explained.
A short sentence contains Chairman Mao's full trust and love for Wang Bicheng. Wang Bicheng was the commander of the Kunming Military Region personally selected by Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao was relieved to let him sit in southern Xinjiang.
Even so, some people still slanderEd Wang Bicheng, saying that Wang Bicheng stubbornly opposed Chairman Mao's revolutionary line. After Su Yu heard the news, he was very worried about Wang Bicheng. Of course, he believed that Wang Bicheng was a man, just as Wang Bicheng believed in Su Yu's man.
Su Yu also took great care of Wang Bicheng. In the battle to defend Lianshui, in the face of Zhang Lingfu's crazy attack, Wang Bicheng did not fight well, and Su Yu did not have a word of criticism. When the Battle of Laiwu began, Su Yu asked Wang Bicheng to cut off Li Xianzhou's retreat, and Wang Bicheng fought a big turnaround battle, exhaling and raising his eyebrows.
Wang Bicheng never forgot his old enemy Zhang Lingfu, and he asked Su Yu to fight the 74th Division in the future, and he must not forget the Sixth Column. Su Yu understood Wang Bicheng's heart knot and assured him that you would rest assured. Formulating the battle plan for the Menglianggu Campaign, Su Yu specially explained to the chief of staff: Don't forget the six columns.
Su Yu ordered Wang Bicheng to seize Duozhuang, cut off the supply line of the 74th Division, and give Zhang Lingfu a fatal blow. After capturing Duozhuang, Wang Bicheng was not satisfied with this, he took the initiative to ask for help, participated in the siege of Meng Lianggu, and finally killed Zhang Lingfu. The general is victorious, and he is ashamed of the snow.
It was Su Yu who fulfilled Wang Bicheng and made him a famous general of a generation. Now Wang Bicheng has encountered a big hurdle, because the gang of four has mixed up, and the problem has become very complicated. Su Yu used Sima Qian's story to imply that Wang Bicheng must defend himself.
Wang Bicheng understood the real intentions of the old chief, and in July of that year, he wrote to Chairman Mao for the second time to explain his problems. History proves that Su Yu is right and Wang Bicheng is right. In August, Chairman Mao's instructions to Wang Bicheng were conveyed again: Comrade Wang Bicheng's affairs will be just fine.
On this day, Chen Xilian rushed to Wang Bicheng and said, Lao Wang, you are still the commander of the Kunming Military Region, go back and preside over the work of the Military Region. After living in Beijing for more than 4 months, Wang Bicheng finally returned to Kunming.
Wang Bicheng served as a commander in the Kunming Military Region until 1979, for 8 years. Subsequently, Wang Bicheng was transferred to the commander of the Wuhan Military Region. At the juncture of history, the hints of the old chief Su Yu helped Wang Bicheng survive this great hurdle in his life.
Therefore, Wang Bicheng has always been very fond of Su Yu. In 1984, Su Yu died of illness, and Wang Bicheng was very sad, saying that Su was always wasted talent. This is a heartfelt statement, indicating that he and Su Yu know each other very well. Five years later, Wang Bicheng died of illness.
By the astonishing coincidence of history, Su Yu lived 77 years old, and Wang Bicheng also lived 77 years old.
