Well deserved, so who are the top ten players selected by the UK? Which famous Chinese player is on the list, and what kind of legendary story does he have?
Su Yu is known as a military genius since modern times, and is also the only famous Chinese general on the British list. tactics. Su Yu is a top strategist and tactician, the founding general of New China. Although he has the appearance of a marshal with great military exploits, he persisted and was eventually listed as the top general of the Republic.

The tenth place is Su Yu, the first general of the Republic. Most of the people in this list are famous generals from Britain, France and other countries. There are very few Chinese players. Su Yu can still be ranked among them, which is enough to show that Su Yu is well-deserved. World class player.
So, let's take a look at the reason why Su Yu is on the list, what kind of record he has fought, and what kind of record he has to be regarded as a world famous player.
To measure the true strength of a famous player, it depends on his strategy and tactics. From a tactical point of view, Su Yu's use of troops can be described as strange, dangerous
strange is that he does not have a fixed set of soldiers, which makes people unpredictable. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Su Yu served as the commander of the first division of the New Fourth Army , and commanded the glorious Nankan campaign, bridge campaign , Gaoyou campaign . In order to decipher Su Yu's combat characteristics and laws, the Japanese commander Okamura Neji set up a special analysis team. The conclusion is that he often breaks the routine and makes unexpected moves in battle. There is no trace of the opponent's attack and defense. This is the high level of Su Yu's tactics.
Almost because Su Yu is often immersed in the situation, less wins more. Three of the battles are the most representative. The first time was Huangqiao Battle in 1940, Han Deloitte , deputy commander of the Kuomintang Lu-Su theater,Delusional annihilated more than 7,000 New Fourth Army troops with 30,000 troops in 26 regiments. In the case of weak troops and weapons, Su Yu concentrated his forces in some parts to defeat them, and finally wiped out more than 700 casualties in two days and two nights. The enemy had more than 11,000 people, and this tactic of attracting the enemy's depth was called a miracle.
The second time was the 1946 battle between the Soviet Union , Su Yu played the miracle of seven battles and seven victories , but in this battle, our army only had 30,000 people, facing the It is the elite of 120,000 people in the national army, who wiped out 53,000 enemies in 45 days, and the formation method of each battle is different. Concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy has become the core content of the ten military principles of the PLA.
The third time was the Battle of Menglianggu in 1947 , in a crisis situation where a large number of national troops became an encirclement, Su Yu commanded 270,000 East China Field Army to fight against 500,000 national troops. One-shot tactics to annihilate the five trump cards of the national army in one fell swoop, Su Yu's tactics are so great, it can be seen from these brilliant battles that it is unusual.
In addition to brilliant tactics, the overall strategic vision is more critical. During the Red Army period, Su Yu proposed a strategic shift from mobile warfare to guerrilla warfare , and the strength of the Red Army was strengthened. During the Anti-Japanese War, Su Yu also had a vision to build into a base, and opened up the situation of in the Sino-Japanese War. Su Yu, Peng Dehuai, Liu Bocheng and others are known as the top ten famous anti-Japanese generals of the CCP, and he is also the only general selected in the New Fourth Army.
In liberation war ,Su Yu also boldly proposed to the central government Huaihai campaign , he believed that in order to change the liberation pattern of the whole country, it was necessary to develop strategic offensives and focus on the Huanghuai region to fight the great annihilation war. In order to convince the central government, Su Yu also went to the PLA headquarters to report his specific thoughts. Su Yu's
cooperated with Hua Ye and Zhong Ye, and adopted the strategic concept of mutual cooperation. The PLA began to prepare for the Huaihai Campaign, and later achieved the glory of annihilating 555,000 national troops.
During the 4-year war, our army carried out 134 relatively important battles, of which 38 were fought against 30,000 enemies, and 23 were fought against 50,000 enemies, of which 12 were under the command of Su Yu. times and 8 times. It can be seen that Su Yu accounted for nearly 1/3 of the entire liberation war, and his historical contribution is not small.
Of course, the birth of a famous player is of course the recognition of other famous players. The amazing thing is that Su Yu is full of admiration in both domestic and foreign evaluations. Chen Yi Marshal said that the battles led by General Su Yu became more and more strange and the better they fought. Marshal Liu Bocheng said that General Su Yu, who has won every battle, is the best general of our army. When the Soviet commander Stalin learned about the results of the Huaihai campaign under Su Yu's command, he couldn't help but marvel at the miracle of 600,000 defeating 800,000. It was a miracle.
It is worth mentioning that in 1961, when the British Marshal Montgomery met with the great man, he said that among my comrades, Su Yu was the most capable of leading troops to fight. This also let the world know about this famous Chinese player. And because of this, General Su Yu was on the list of famous British generals. No matter what the reason is, there is no doubt that General Su Yu is a true world-class star.
