Lin Biao and Su Yu are hailed as our military’s "gemini stars" , and their military talents can be said to be unparalleled. After many years, future generations will not help but add to the military merits of these two generals. Thinking: Between the two gods of war, Su Yu and Lin Shuai, who has the better military capability?
To answer this question, we still have to get to know these two generals. The head of the ten great generals-Su Yu
Su Yu was originally named Su Duozhen, and was born on August 10, 1907 in Fengmushujiao Village, Fulong Township, Huitong County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province.
In June 1927, Su Yu formally became a member of the Chinese Communist Party. In August of the same year, he participated in the Nanchang Uprising , and served as the guard squad leader of the general headquarters of the rebel army.

This righteousness also made Su Yu become famous in the team, and his military talents were also displayed.
After 1929, because Su Yu performed outstandingly and repeatedly made military exploits, he successively served as Z1z Battalion Commander, Regiment Commander, Division Commander, Chief of Staff of the Fourth Red Army , Chief of Staff of the Red Eleventh Army, and Chief of Staff of the Red Seventh Army .
On July 7, 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out.
On the second day of the incident, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China energized the whole country, hoping that the military and civilians of the whole country could unite to resist the Japanese invading army, and called for a warm response from the people of the whole country, which opened the prelude to the national war of resistance against Japan.
In the second year of the incident, Su Yu led the Zhejiang-Fujian Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps to join the New Fourth Army. He was appointed as the deputy commander of the second detachment.
In January 1939, Su Yu was arranged to command the Shuiyang Town ambush, the Hengshan battle, and the surprise attack officer Doumen. With his excellent military skills, he annihilated more than 400 Japanese puppets, captured 57 Japanese puppets , and also blew up an enemy train . In August of the same year, Su Yu, who made great contributions, was appointed as deputy commander of the New Fourth Army Jiangnan Command .

In August 1941, Su Yu's battle for the main points was won, ensuring the stability of the base area.
On December 26 of the same year, Su Yu married his beloved woman, and she was Chu Qing.
Chu Qing, named Zhan Yongzhu, joined the New Fourth Army because of his desire to save the country.
In order not to hurt her relatives and friends, she decided to change her name, but she never decided what she would call it.

At this time, Su Yu wrote more than 20 surnames on the paper, and then said: "Those with the last name of "Wang" and "Li" are called There are too many people, so it doesn’t make sense to choose those. It’s better to choose this &39;Chu&39;, scream smoothly! "Also after this, the two came together in secret, and got married in Shijiazhuang, the shore of the Yellow Sea. .
In March 1944, Su Yu commanded the battle of axles and adopted the "heart-cutting" tactics to achieve victory in both attack points and aid;
launched the Nankan Campaign on June 26 of the same year and also achieved a major victory.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers. Su Yu was fully prepared to meet the Kuomintang army, and the liberation war was completely launched.
In June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a full-scale civil war. Su Yu stated that the main force of the Central China Field Army must first fight in the Suzhong . Considering Su Yu’s military vision, the central government finally accepted his opinion and changed Taihang, Shandong, The plan of three armies in Central China to attack outside lines at the same time. Su Yu did not disappoint. In mid-July of the same year, he wiped out 6 brigades of the Kuomintang army and 5 traffic police brigades, , and won a major victory in the early days of the Civil War.
On September 11, 1948, Su Yu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the East China Field Army, , and launched the Jinan Campaign on the 16th. It took only 8 days to achieve victory. This record is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
November 6th of the same year, Su Yu led the East China Field Army to launch the Huaihai Campaign .
Figure ~ Huaihai Campaign pioneered the first battle method, Su Yu praised: The role of the three of you is no less than a regiment!
This battle is to defeat the Kuomintang, the second battle of the Three Great Wars, many People's Liberation Army were sacrificed in this battle In battle.
Because the People's Liberation Army at that time did not have the advantage in terms of military strength or ammunition equipment, its war style was the most complicated, and its political influence was also the greatest.
Mao Zedong also said that Su Yu made a great contribution in this battle.
On September 30, 1949, the day before the founding of New China, the party and state leaders held a groundbreaking ceremony for the sacrificed heroes in Tiananmen Square.
Chairman Mao shoveled the first shovel for them, and Su Yu, who was already the head of the Third Field Army delegation and chief representative, shoveled the fourth.
At 16:33 on February 5, 1984, Su Yu died at Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital at the age of 77.
After his family cremated the remains, found three pieces of shrapnel from the skull ashes. It was not until 2003 that the wife of General Su Yu, Chu Qing, disclosed these three pieces of shrapnel that had been treasured for nearly 20 years.
"Marshal Changsheng" Lin Biao
Lin Biao was originally named Lin Zuoda, with the word Yangchun, and the name Yurong. He was born on December 5, 1907 in Hubei Huanggang Linjia Dawan.
entered a private school when he was 9 years old. At the age of 13, he studied at the new school established by Huanggang Badouwan. At the age of 15, he transferred to Wuchang Gongjin Middle School.

On May 30, 1925, Shanghai students protested against Japanese capitalists in the concession, and began to distribute leaflets, give speeches, and call for the lease back. These student activities aroused long-suppressed dissatisfaction among the workers, and they began to strike. The movement was also ruthlessly suppressed by capitalism and the Northern Warlords. The British patrol shot and killed 13 people and arrested 150. More than one person, resulting in dozens of serious injuries.
This is the May 30 tragedy that shocked the world!
Lin Biao was also actively involved in the student movement at the time, and he also established the " Co-Advance Book Club " and called on students to read these active books and magazines.
Lin Biao graduated and returned to his hometown in the autumn of the same year. In order to allow him to take care of his home, his parents found him a teacher position. However, Lin Biao refused this stable job and decided to contribute his strength to the country.
So he persuaded his parents to be admitted to the fourth phase of Whampoa Military Academy with the approval of the Chinese Communist Party, and was assigned to the 3rd Company of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment of Infantry Division.
During his time at Huangpu Z5z Military Academy, Lin Biao formally joined the Communist Party of China and successfully graduated in November 1926. After that, he was assigned to the National Revolutionary Army. The 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the Fourth Army served as a trainee platoon. long.
On July 15, 1927, Wang Jingwei launched the "July 15th" coup in Wuhan. After the
incident, Zhou Enlai received an order from the central government to direct the Nanchang Uprising with full authority. At that time, Lin Biao's 25th Division was one of the main combat forces scheduled for the Nanchang Uprising.
On the afternoon of August 1st of the same year, the Nanchang uprising team was dispersed by the enemy. Lin Biao's team failed to go south. He joined the Xiangnan Armed Uprising and went up to Jinggang Mountain, becoming one of the pioneers of in the central Soviet area of .

In 1928, the remnants of the Nanchang Uprising and the Hunan local armed forces successfully joined forces with the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army under Mao Zedong's direct leadership in Lung City, Ninggang County.
Lin Biao, who was only 21 years old at the time, served as the first battalion commander of the 28th Regiment of the 10th Division. After this meeting, Lin Biao emerged in the struggle against "encirclement and suppression" in Jinggang Mountain. He was not only agile and flexible, He was also very good at using soldiers. Because of his superb military ability, he was quickly appreciated by Mao Zedong and promoted as a result.
In October 1934, the Red Army failed for the fifth time against "encirclement and suppression" . In order to get rid of the pursuit of the Kuomintang army, the Central Red Army could only implement a strategic transfer and releaseAbandoning the then central base area, started the Long March .
On May 25, 1935, the Red Army got into trouble during the Long March. They had to cross the river at Anshun Field, and the only way to cross the river was by boat. However, it takes a month at the earliest to take a boat. The Kuomintang army is chasing it in the rear, and the boat can only be wiped out. In order to ensure the evacuation of the large forces, the first division of the Red Army led by Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen and the cadre group led by Chen Geng and Song Renqiong began the plan to capture Luding Bridge , and Lin Biao naturally participated in it.
The soldiers stepped on the chains and walked through the rain of bullets and finally succeeded in capturing the Luding Bridge.
And this " flying to capture Luding Bridge " campaign also added a brilliant stroke to Lin Biao's record of achievements.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Biao was appointed as the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and secretary of the Military and Political Committee .
At that time, Zhu De was the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army , and Peng Dehuai was the deputy commander-in-chief . Under the two of them, there were three divisions, namely the 115 division , the 120 division , and the 129 division . In addition to Lin Biao of the 115th Division,
also has the division commander He Long of the 120 division and the division commander Liu Bocheng of the 129 division.
Among the three division commanders, Lin Biao was the youngest. After the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, Lin Biao led his army to the front of the North China theater.
He and Nie Rongzhen drew up the "Pingxingguan attack plan" at the cadre meeting. In order to know himself and the enemy, he conducted three field trips in the Pingxing Guanqiaogou area. It was the many preparations in the early stage that caught the enemy by surprise and won the first place since the Eighth Route Army came out. Second victory. The history of
said: flat type close victory .
After the end of the War of Resistance, Lin Biao commanded the "Three Under the Jiangnan and Four Protecting Linjiang" campaign on December 17, 1946. He adopted the tactics of "stretching from the south to the north, and from the north to the south", which instantly broke the enemy." The strategic plan of attacking the south and defending the north, south first and then north.
The mobile force of the Kuomintang army was also completely weakened after this battle, and the situation in the Northeast has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
In 1948, Lin Biao led the Liaoshen Campaign and Pingjin Campaign. These two battles belonged to the "three major battles" of the Liberation War and played a decisive role in the final victory of the Liberation War. He planned accurately, made decisive decisions, and directed Deli, knowing how to boost the morale of soldiers, it can be said that every battle must be won, which also allows its "God of War" name to spread more widely and far.

On September 8, 1971, Lin Biao issued a counter-revolutionary armed coup warrant in an attempt to murder Mao Zedong. The matter was revealed. He took his wife Ye Qun and son Lin Liguo to prepare to flee by plane.
At 3 o'clock in the morning on September 13, the plane that Lin Biao's family was travelling in crashed 10 kilometers south of the Belhe mining area in Kent Province, Mongolian People's Republic, and none of them survived.
Lin Biao or Su Yu, who is better?
In fact, regarding this issue, we can conduct a comparison from multiple perspectives.
Lin Biao graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and belongs to the "scientific class background" , while Su Yu is only a graduate of Hunan Provincial Second Normal University , so some people will one-sidedly think that Lin Biao is better than Su Yu, but this is not the case.
Because the Red Army team at that time can be said to be a mixed bag, as long as there is a patriotic heart and the spirit of not afraid of death, you can carry a gun on the battlefield.
What's more, "the hero does not ask where he comes from". Many fighters are not from military academies, but they have also made countless battles.
After the two participated in the Xiangnan Uprising, Lin Biao became the "youngest regimental leader". During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Pingxingguan victory made his reputation greatly shocked.
In contrast, Su Yu was only the deputy commander of the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, and was later transferred to the commander of the advance detachment. In terms of fame, he was not as good as Lin.Sturdy.
However, it happened that Lin Biao was in bad luck. After being injured by a friendly army, he had to go to the Soviet Union to recover. It was not until 1942 that he recovered and returned to Yan'an to continue revolutionary work.
During this period, Su Yu fought around on the battlefield. He experienced countless lives and deaths, and his ability to lead soldiers was not inferior to Lin Biao, who was born in military school.
When the War of Liberation, Lin Biao was the commander of the Northeast Field Army . He also had four defeats on the Northeast battlefield, but he won a major victory in the final Liaoshen Campaign; and Su Yu was the commander of the Central China Field Army , who led him The army of has seven battles and seven victories on the battlefield in Central China, and most of the battles are won with less, and the record can be said to be quite remarkable!
Figure ~ Su Yu and Lin Biao joined the army for the same time, and they also made meritorious service when they were young, and they were promoted very quickly.
According to relevant information, Lin Biao wiped out 50 enemy divisions in the Liberation War alone, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the total number of the Kuomintang, or even more.
Su Yu made seven great achievements one after another, and even wiped out four Jiang Zhongzheng’s own units in one breath. There were all the most powerful warriors, but Su Yu was beaten to death.
Chiang Kai-shek saw this and wanted to increase his forces and annihilate Su Yu in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Su Yu to fight more and more bravely, and eventually fled in a hurry and did not dare to attack.
and the fighting styles of the two men are also quite different. This can be seen from the Siping Campaign commanded by Lin Biao at that time. He ordered the retreat after learning that the aid team was fighting with the Chinese reinforcements, hoping to reduce our army. The loss, retain strength.
Therefore, it can be seen that Lin Biao's strategy is more about "winning in stability" .
But Su Yu is different. All his combat experience is learned from the battlefield. Compared with orderly strategy, Su Yu is more inclined to be unprepared, so he will always catch the enemy by surprise.
Therefore, the strength of the two generals can be said to be equal, but the ranks are different.
"Two Gods of War"
Although someone always compares the two, Lin Biao and Su Yu are good confidants who sympathize with each other and have never been jealous of each other.
Picture ~ 41 Whampoa students on Jinggang Mountains: Lin Biao is the most prominent
Lin Biao is a person who is unwilling to speak more, and coupled with his aloof temperament, few people can talk to him, but as long as you see Su Yu, then The chattering couldn't be kept anyhow.
When they first met, they were both company-level cadres, but Su Yu was not from a military school, and was a newcomer who jumped two levels in a row, so he always seemed immature. At that time, Lin Biao was young and vigorous, always willing to fight against his comrades, and even recorded his achievements in a small notebook. Coupled with his arrogant personality, he rarely had close friends.
But after seeing Su Yu, Lin Biao immediately recognized him, and the two soon became close friends. During the Liberation War, after learning about Su Yu's record, Lin Biao sat in the office to ponder his strategy, and finally couldn't help but admire: " Su Yu fights the fairy battle ."
picture~Su Yu
Exit, the Chief of Staff Liu Yalou next to him was a little confused. Lin Biao explained: "Z1z Su Yu is really good at fighting. I dare not make up his mind to when he fights." Liu Yalou has hardly heard from Lin Biao about such things as
. Being able to get such a compliment shows that Su Yu's military talents are not very comparable to others, and he also admires Su Yu from the heart.
After the Huaihai battle, Su Yu could be said to be "famous in World War I" , Lin Biao hurriedly asked Liu Yalou to find information about the Huaihai battle. Because
couldn't find everything, Lin Biao actually got a little angry.
Seeing Lin Biao’s expression, Liu Yalou was a little puzzled, so he smiled and asked: "Z266z Lin, you are so interested in Huaye’s combat situation, do you want to compare with Comrade Su Yu? "
Li Biao looked at Liu Yalou and said sternly: "What you said is ill-considered. Z7z
First of all, I am very interested in those brothers who have won big battles; secondly, I know Comrade Su Yu better than you. Profound. Since the Nanchang Uprising, the two of us played the best. Z7z
Later, the army I led was the main force directly commanded by Chairman Mao, and the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, so every strategic layout must be very careful. After all, it is the main force. You must wait until you are 80-90% sure to implement the plan, otherwise the risk is too great.
Comrade Su Yu is far from the center and has been fighting alone for a long time. In most cases, it is an emergency situation surrounded by the enemy. If
does not take risks, the whole army will be wiped out.
has also developed the characteristics of dare to think and take risks.
is the battle of Yudong, I think it is 50% sure at most. This time the Huaihai Campaign was also the same. Comrade Su Yu was not very sure about it, but he immediately trapped Du Yuming. Don’t you know that this strategic technique is worth studying and discussing for reference?”
Also quite admired.
At that time, Mao Zedong asked him to fight the battle of Taiwan, but he considered that the participating troops were not only the whole army of the three fields, but also the troops of four other field forces. Moreover, this battle also involved the situation in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, so he did not hesitate It is proposed to send Lin Biao to preside over the battle, and to be the chief military officer of the East China Theater to assist Lin Biao in his work.
Zhou Enlai once said that there is no difference between these heroes who save the country and the people. They are true heroes who have shed blood and been wounded. The achievements they have created are all rich and colorful in history, and there is no difference between them.
don't have to sigh white hair in the mirror, white hair can still whip again.
The two ever-victorious generals will also have a drink in peace, recalling the time when "tossed his head and shed blood " on the battlefield, feeling this hard-won peaceful life.
And our descendants will cherish the memory of these two heroes from time to time and thank them for their sacrifices for us!
