958 General Su Yu was wrongly criticized, and many generals felt unfair about Su Yu. They stood up and spoke for Su Yu. Who are they? What happened later?
First of all, Lieutenant General Wang Bicheng, who was the first to stand up at the meeting to speak for General Su Yu. Wang Bicheng said to those who had ulterior motives: I don’t know where the “error” of General Su Yu came from? I only know that General Su Yu once gave in to the commander of the two forces in the war years. How could such a general become personal extremism?
General Wang Bicheng continued: As for the ambitions you mentioned, Comrade Su Yu is very ambitious, I don’t see that my eyes are clumsy, I only know that General Su Yu is very strategic and bold. At the most critical moment in the Shandong battlefield, General Su Yu went against the opposition and proposed to annihilate the enemy's ace army in Menglianggu area and reorganize the 74th Division. President Chen said that Su Yu's move has the courage to win the head of the general among thousands of troops. Before the Jinan Battle ended, Su Yu began to plan the Huaihai Battle , and proposed to the central government the urgency and importance of fighting the Huaihai Battle. In the Huaihai Battle, Su Yu even commanded the battle day and night, carefully considering every link in the battle. The great man once said: Comrade Su Yu should remember his first contribution in the victory of the Huaihai Battle. Do you not even believe the words of the great man?
Those who have ulterior motives refuse to expose Su Yu's "crime", so they began to threaten Wang Bicheng: Wang Bicheng, don't . Don't eat the punishment for toasting. Please pay attention to your position and words! Wang Bicheng laughed and said: A real man acts openly and never speaks against his conscience. General Su Yu took the initiative to resign in 1955 to the marshal, and the great man praised Su Yu for his noble character. Listen, I, Wang Bicheng, firmly supports Su Yu, not only because I am his subordinate, but more importantly, I am impressed by Su Yu's character. This is my position.
Even CEO He who was present at the audience praised Wang Bicheng: Wang Bicheng is of great character and can be close friends.
Those who have ulterior motives will not eat the soft and hard things when they see Wang Bicheng, and they will ask Wang Bicheng to go back. Then he asked Su Yu another confidant general, Ye Fei, to expose Su Yu's "so-called mistake".
Those people didn’t “go ahead” when they saw Ye Fei, so they said to Ye Fei in another way: You have been Su Yu’s subordinates over the years and have been suppressed by Su Yu. Don’t you want to criticize Su Yu? Ye Fei laughed and said: You are really trying everything you can do to achieve your goals! I have always been a subordinate of General Su Yu, and I admire the old leader Su Yu's military skills. I can learn a lot by his side. For me, Su Yu is a good teacher and friend. I firmly support and support the old leader Su Yu, and this is my attitude.
In fact, Su Yu has always trusted Ye Fei very much, and Ye Fei has always been General Su Yu's right-hand man. In the battles such as the Huangqiao battle and the Cheqiao battle , Su Yu fully trusted Ye Fei, and Ye Fei also firmly implemented Su Yu's strategy and tactics, and won one victory after another with Su Yu. It can be said that the cooperation is very good. In addition, the two have a very good personal relationship. When Su Yu became the commander of the th Division of the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army in , Ye Fei was the deputy commander. In major battles such as the seven battles of Su Zhong, , and the Laiwu Battle of , Menglianggu Battle, , and Menglianggu Battle, , , , , , , , , , , tide and interspersed tactics, divided and surrounded the enemy, and completed Su Yu's strategic and tactical intentions well.
At the conference criticizing Su Yu in 1958, General Ye Fei withstood the pressure and spoke for Su Yu for righteousness. Moreover, after Su Yu fell into trouble, he withstood the pressure and brought Su Yu to the front line of the Fuzhou Military Region to inspect the military. At that time, almost no one dared to approach Su Yu on his own initiative, but Ye Fei ignored all this and took the old leader Su Yu by his side to take care of him, which reflects General Ye Fei's importance to his friendship and righteousness.
Those who have ulterior motives refused to criticize Su Yu when they saw Ye Fei and Wang Bicheng refused to criticize Su Yu, and they also found another subordinate of Su Yu, Tao Yong. Unexpectedly, Tao Yong beat him up as soon as he came up. He said that Tao Yong was not of high level, and he didn't know anything, and even couldn't recognize all the words. Wait until my secretary wrote a manuscript, can I read it again? Those people had no choice but to agree to Tao Yong. Unexpectedly, the next day, Tao Yong continued to pretend to be confused and made mistakes while reading and making reports, which caused the participants to laugh.
In fact, Tao Yong protected his old leader Su Yu in this way! Su Yu is also very grateful to Tao Yong, Wang Bicheng and Ye Fei. Helping himself when he is in trouble is really a sign of love.
After General Su Yu was in trouble, in addition to Ye Fei, Wang Bicheng and Tao Yong speaking for Su Yu, Marshal Ye also helped General Su Yu speak. Marshal Ye helped Su Yu speak in this way at the meeting: I think Su Yu has no problem, at most he is a little proud. With the mediation of Marshal Ye and others, the criticism of Su Yu was stopped! Su Yu was also directly demoted from Chief of Staff to Deputy Dean of Military Academy .
So what happened to those three generals later?
General Wang Bicheng later became the commander of the Kunming Military Region. The veteran general wanted to participate in the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam , but unfortunately he was replaced at the last moment and became the commander of the Wuhan Military Region . General Ye Fei later became the commander and political commissar of the Fuzhou Military Region, and even served as the secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee. Unfortunately, General Tao Yong later died of accidental death due to various reasons. Investigating the cause of Lieutenant General Tao Yong's death became a major concern in Su Yu in his later years. Unfortunately, it was not investigated clearly until the moment General Su Yu passed away.
No matter what, these three generals spoke out for Su Yu when the old leader Su Yu was in trouble, which reflects the importance of the three generals.
