Among the founding generals of new China, the ten marshals are well-known and thunderous, and when 57 generals are mentioned, many people can also be counted as a family treasure, and they know the deeds of the generals very well. Compared with marshals and admirals, the names of many founding lieutenant generals are not well known, but the rank is not the only criterion for judging a general, if you look closely, you will find that many "unknown" generals also have the same legendary and wonderful life.
The general I want to talk about today is named Su Jing. He was one of the 175 founding lieutenant generals, a lifelong warrior, experienced in hundreds of battles, Lin Biao once praised him as "one person can reach 100,000 soldiers.". From the pioneer of the Red Army's Long March to the messenger of peace who negotiated alone during the Liberation War, the life of this general can be described as legendary.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > the hero of the Long March and the pioneer among the pioneers</h1>
Born in 1910, Su Jing participated in anti-imperialist activities during her school years and personally organized the student movement, but she was also hunted down by reactionaries, and had no choice but to leave the motherland and follow her father to Burma. However, Su Jing's patriotic enthusiasm has never changed, and when the motherland is alive and dead, how can she be in a corner of peace? After the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, Su Jing resolutely decided to return to the motherland to join the Red Army, determined to save the country with her own body.
Su Jing joined the Red Army in 1932 and participated in anti-encirclement and suppression operations and the Long March, and was good at reconnaissance. He served as the head of the reconnaissance section of the Red 1Stour Army, and during the Long March of the Red Army, Su Jing was also responsible for important tasks such as reconnaissance of terrain and drawing road maps. At this time, although Su Jing was only a reconnaissance staff officer, he played a key role in the victory of the Long March.
Do not underestimate any scout, on the way to a large force, reconnaissance work is of paramount importance, not to mention the unprecedented scale of the long march, reconnaissance work will often directly affect the life and death of the entire unit. Su Jing needed to analyze and sort out all the intelligence she had heard, deal with a very large amount of information every day, and formulate the most appropriate travel plan based on this information, and draw a new march road map overnight.
During the entire long march of the Red Army, there were hundreds of road maps drawn by Su Jing, and behind each map was countless painstaking efforts and energy, and the degree of hardship was unimaginable. It can be said that the Red Army's Long March was finally able to achieve victory, Su Jing's contribution was indispensable, and Marshal Nie Rongzhen also mentioned that the Red Army crossed the meadow, and Su Jing "made meritorious contributions in opening the way."

Reconnaissance is not only very important in the process of marching, but also indispensable in the moments of confrontation between the two sides. In 1946, the northeast coalition army was very unfavorable, under the leadership of Lin Biao, all the way defeated and retreated, the morale of the whole army was low, Lin Biao knew very well that if it continued like this, the northeast coalition army was likely to collapse, and at this juncture, it was necessary to win a big victory and boost the morale of the army.
However, winning the battle is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, especially at present, the Northeast United Army is not only demoralized, but also the military equipment is very scarce, and it is a bit "impossible" to win the battle. However, it was at such a moment that Su Jing brought a surprise to Lin Biao, turning what was otherwise impossible into possible.
In February, the weather was freezing cold, and It was in this environment that Su Jing led more than 100 scouts around to collect enemy intelligence and find opportunities for his own army. Knowing oneself and knowing the other, Su Jing immediately conveyed the news to Lin Biao when he learned that two regiments of the enemy army were gradually separating from the main force. Lin Biao did not hesitate at all, seized this opportunity, and deployed troops nearby to annihilate the two regiments in one fell swoop before the main force of the enemy army could not catch up with the assistance.
This victory was of great significance to the Northeast Alliance, and the morale that had been low since the march into the northeast was finally greatly encouraged, and a few days later, Su Jing's intelligence once again allowed Lin Biao to seriously damage the 87th Division of the 71st Army and annihilate more than 4,000 enemy troops. When fighting a war, regardless of success or failure, the main general always needs to bear more merit or responsibility, but Lin Biao knows very well that in these two great victories, Su Jing's intelligence work is extremely successful, and therefore praises Su Jing: "One person is equal to 100,000 soldiers." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > messenger of peace, detaining Chairman Mao's letters</h1>
Su Jing is not only good at intelligence reconnaissance work, but also very brave and fearless when she really fights. At the time of the decisive battle of Liaoshen, the northeast field army led by Su Jing was only a quarter of the number of enemy troops, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was extremely large, but no one in the People's Liberation Army was afraid of battle, and they insisted on orders and fought bloody battles with the enemy army for 6 days and nights, successfully defending the defensive line and creating a miracle in military history.
Although Su Jing did not have a well-known "fame" now, at that time, among the armies of the Kuomintang and the Communists, many generals admired Su Jing very much, including Fu Zuoyi. In 1949, when the peace talks were held, Su Jing and Fu Zuoyi still had a relationship, when Su Jing went to negotiate as a messenger of peace, chairman Mao wrote a letter, borrowing Lin Biao's hand to ask Su Jing to forward the letter to Fu Zuoyi.
In this letter, Chairman Mao carefully analyzed Fu Zuoyi's actions and their consequences. If this letter is handed over to Fu Zuoyi, it is likely to hit Fu Zuoyi's confidence and affect the negotiations, so Su Jing decided to "withhold" the letter. Half a month later, because the People's Daily published the letter, Fu Zuoyi saw it, but at this time the peace talks had been going on for a long time, and Su Jing had been doing Fu Zuoyi's ideological work, and finally the two sides reached a peaceful consensus, and Peiping was smoothly and peacefully liberated.
