On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender and the end of the arduous and remarkable war of resistance against Japan. On the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek and negotiated with the CCP, and on the other hand, they dispatched troops to rush to transport Kuomintang troops from the rear to take over sites in big cities.
A decisive battle of China's destiny is about to kick off.
Lin Biao and Su Yu, these two generals known as the most capable of fighting in the Chinese Communist army, not only went to their respective battlefields and made achievements, but also staged a "space showdown" between masters.
1. Lin Biao went to the northeast, and Su Yu took control of the Central China
war. Chairman Mao sent Lin Biao, who had been in hiding for many years, to the Northeast battlefield in an effort to control this strategic location backed by the Soviet Union.
The central government "will not hesitate to pay" for Lin Biao to select good soldiers, six divisions of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, one division of the New Fourth Army Huang Kecheng, a total of 110,000 elites, and four Politburo members Peng Zhen, Zhang Wentian, Gao Gang, and Chen Yun , All to the northeast.
This is a strong lineup with a single champion.
Lin Biao is also gearing up to control the Northeast. But at this time, the two Kuomintang forces led by Du Yuming and conquered Shanhaiguan. Lin Biao had to temporarily abandon his plan to monopolize the Northeast and shift his focus to the suppression of bandits, the opening of bases, and the establishment of local power. In the next spring, we will concentrate on fighting the big battle."
is different from Lin Biao's long stay in Yan'an. When Japan surrendered, Su Yu was fighting the Japanese army in the south of the Yangtze River.
The areas in East and Central China where Su Yu is located are the Kuomintang's heavy forces. There are 13 armies in Xuzhou and 5 armies along the river. Su Yu faces far greater pressure than Lin Biao.
Su Yu deployed and commanded the stubborn Japanese and puppet troops nearby, fulfilling the central strategic goal of "consolidating North and Central China". Immediately, on September 17, 1945, Su Yu was ordered to lead the New Fourth Army to cross the river north. On October 8, Chairman Mao called "Agreeing Su Yu to stay in Central China as commander."
Second, Lin Biao recharged and Su Yu Xiao tried his skills
In January 1946, the KMT signed the armistice agreement. But Chiang Kai-shek knew the importance of the Northeast, excluded the Northeast from the armistice agreement, and ordered Du Yuming to step up his occupation of the entire Northeast. In addition to the 13th Army and the 52nd Army, the Kuomintang also dispatched 5 military support, including the New 1st Army and the New 6th Army, two of the Kuomintang's five main forces. For a time, the Kuomintang was strong in the Northeast.
Du Yuming stepped up the offensive. From April 18 to May 19, 1946, the "Siping Defense War" broke out. The Northeast Democratic Alliance failed to withstand the KMT's attack. Siping fell. The Northeast Democratic Alliance suffered more than 8,000 casualties.
Du Yuming surpassed the prestige and continued to advance north. Our troops in the northeast retreated to the north of the second Songhua River and stayed there. In February 1947, the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces reported to the central government that after this failure, "many of the main forces lost their combat effectiveness" . This was one of Lin Biao's greatest combat failures in his life. Fortunately, the Kuomintang had to stop pursuing because the Kuomintang had pulled too long on the northeast front. Under Marshall's mediation, the two sides ceased fighting for four months.
Our army in the Northeast has received a valuable rest. In view of the needs of the situation in the Northeast, the Party Central Committee directly promoted Lin Biao from commander-in-chief of the Northeast Democratic Alliance to Secretary of the Northeast Bureau.
Su Yu is different from Lin Biao. During the War of Resistance, Su Yu never left on the front line. He personally expanded his troops from thousands to tens of thousands. From guerrilla warfare to sports warfare, one step at a time, he was able to command battles and campaigns with ease. The task assigned to Su Yu by the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao was to form a powerful field army with a target number of 50,000. However, the three brigades of Ye Fei, the most elite group under his command, followed Chen Yi and to Shandong, and Su Yu merged Wang Bicheng, Tao Yong's subordinates and local troops to form four field columns.
But Su Yu is worthy of being a master of tactics. He used the mobile warfare experience that was gradually developed in the late period of the Anti-Japanese War to promote it, and organized column commanders to learn from the combat experience of the large corps.Quickly train these four field columns into a powerful force.
Su Yu was determined to organize a battle on the north and south sides of Central China. Therefore, the Central China Field Army successively organized the Gaoyou Campaign and the battle of the east section of Longhai Road, all of which completed the scheduled combat missions and strategic objectives, and made Shandong and Central China two major strategic areas. Connect into one piece.
Su Yu's active main battle has created a good environment for our army to survive and develop in Central China.
3. A full-scale civil war broke out and Su Yu showed his talents
On June 26, 1946, the Kuomintang army tore up the Armistice Agreement. The 4.3 million well-equipped Kuomintang army and the 1.2 million communist army of guns and guns began to compete.
Central China, where Su Yu is located, is located on the periphery of Nanjing. It is the "Jifu" of the Chiang Kai-shek regime and faces the key "care" of the Kuomintang army. Su Yu endured the first wave of the Kuomintang army's long-standing offensive, and continued to fight hard.
When Li Xiannian broke through the Central Plains, Su Yu boldly attacked from the outside. From July 13 to August 31, 1946, 30,000 Huaye attacked 5 reorganization divisions led by Li Moan, the first phase of Huangpu, and annihilated more than 50,000. People win more with less, seven battles and seven victories.
The seven battles and seven victories of the Soviet Union and China have become the magical pen and classic battle example for Su Yu's command and combat. Z3z
Whether our army can win, Chairman Mao was worried at first. At the end of the first battle of in the Soviet-Chinese battle , the chairman also called Su Yu repeatedly to ask about the outcome of the battle. But since the victory in the second battle, Chairman Mao has never called for inquiries anymore, but directly sent congratulations. After the war, Chairman Mao ordered the entire army to promote Hua Ye and Su Yu's combat experience, praising him for "correct command, flexible and brave" , "hope that all districts will follow suit, and I hope that all districts will be aware of it."
In order to give Su Yu more room to display his talents, on October 15, 1946, Chairman Mao determined the local military and political command system in East China, and clearly ordered to "under the leadership of Chen Yi, the major policies are jointly decided, and the campaign commander Jiao Suyu is responsible."
took the deputy as his deputy. The highest military officer, this is an unusual decision made by Chairman Mao and an unprecedented exception.
Su Yu was in charge of the battle command, and he won the Subei Battle. The Kuomintang reorganized the 69th Division Lieutenant General Dai Zhiqi committed suicide, and 21,000 troops were wiped out. This set a record for the number of Kuomintang troops to be wiped out by our army since the Civil War. Later, he won another victory in Lunan and captured two Kuomintang lieutenant generals. Su Yu continued his efforts. In February 1947, he launched the Battle of Laiwu and wiped out 56,000 enemies in the first battle. Not only did he set another record for annihilating the enemy, he also captured 17 generals including Li Xianzhou in Huangpu's first phase.
4. Lin Biao admires Su Yu
Jiang Jieshi has placed the focus of his offensive on northern Shaanxi and Shandong. There is no way to give more troops to the Northeast battlefield. Lin Biao used this favorable opportunity to train the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army.
There was no war for a while, so Lin Biao studied the civil war. Lin Biao also received a telegram from Chairman Mao instructing the entire army to study the achievements of the Chinese field. He asked the staff to collect information on Su Yu's command of the Suzhong campaign.
Liu Yalou sent information to Lin Biao, and after studying and pondering for many days, Lin Biao said : "Su Yu fights the battle of immortals." He further said : "Su Yu is really good at fighting, and I dare not make up his mind about the battle he fought. "Z2z
Lin Biao in the northeast
Su Yu and Lin Biao were both company-level officers under Zhu De's uprising in Nanchang. After going to Jinggang Mountain, Lin Biao gradually gained the favor of Chairman Mao, but Su Yu was unable to make progress for a long time because of no chance. In the latter part of the Red Army period, Lin Biao had become a regiment commander, while Su Yu was still a divisional cadre. During the War of Resistance against Japan, Lin Biao was injured and stayed away from the front line for a long time after the victory at Pingxingguan, while Su Yu quickly emerged from the crowd after the battle of Huangqiao, Cheqiao, and Tianmu Mountain. By this time, he had become a comrade in charge of the strategic front with Lin Biao. During the Red Army period, although Lin Biao was the commander of the First Army, he commanded only 10,000 troops. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Biao stayed away from the battlefield for a long time.When Shi suddenly commanded hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops, he felt uncomfortable and unfamiliar with the large corps.
Lin Biao called Chairman Mao and the Central Military Commission to provide Su Yu and Liu Bocheng's combat summary. Chairman Mao quickly met this request, and Lin Biao followed the forwarded telegram to "in order to study and absorb."
The Northeast Democratic Allied Forces gradually recovered their vitality. From December 1946 to March 1947, the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces successively carried out the "Four Guarantees Linjiang" and "Three Downs to the South of the Yangtze River" and other battles. The combat capabilities of the Northeast Our Army Corps were significantly improved. At this time, it was possible to eliminate one division of the Kuomintang army at a time in the battle.

Chiang Kai-shek's biggest nightmare will soon follow. In the May battle of Menglianggu, the reorganization of the 74th Division was uprooted by Su Yulian. From Lieutenant General Zhang Lingfu to Maverick It did not slip through the net. Chairman Mao said afterwards that neither he nor Chiang Kai-shek would have thought of eliminating the 74th Division.
Chen Yi happily said to Su Yu: "Old man, in this battle, you just got more vigorous!"
5. Chen Yi said: Su Yu is the great gain of our party and people
Yan'an announced the whole year after the civil war The record of each field army, Huaye's record topped the list. (Among them, Huaye wiped out 434,000 enemies, and the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces wiped out 175,000 enemies.) The predecessor of
Huaye was the New Fourth Army. The New Fourth Army was developed from the 13 Red Army guerrillas in the eight southern provinces left over from the Long March. An authentic "partial division", but in the War of Liberation, he can suddenly emerge and become an unexpected dark horse. This cannot but be attributed to Su Yu.
Su Yu's brilliant record gave Chairman Mao the confidence to defeat Chiang Kai-shek. In July 1947, Chairman Mao said at the Xiaohe Meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China that "The struggle against Chiang Kai-shek is planned to be resolved in five years. Looking at the results of the past year, It is possible."
A month later, Chairman Mao wrote to Hua Ye, praising Su Yu in particular: "In the first year of combat, our East China Army has demonstrated itself as the army with the greatest record in all theaters of the country."
was outside the pass, Du Yuming was transferred from the northeast due to stomach problems, Lin Biao commanded the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army more and more bravery, while the Kuomintang army became less and less powerful. One year later, Lin Biao commanded an army to surround Jinzhou, and Du Yuming, who was re-activated by Chiang Kai-shek, rushed to Shenyang to "fight the fire", but he was unable to recover. The Northeast battlefield, the general trend is over.
In the second year of the Liberation War, Su Yu and Chen Yi led their troops into the Central Plains of Henan, Anhui and Su, and formed a "product" configuration with Liu Deng and Chen Xie's army. Su Yu also took the initiative to call Chairman Mao, proposing to adopt a combat method of "suddenly collecting and distributing", that is, the famous "child raising electricity" in military history.
The five secretary of the Central Committee specially invited Su Yu to listen to the report, and finally agreed to Su Yu's suggestion. Su Yu quickly opened up the situation. From June 16 to July 6, 1948, he achieved the victory of in the East Henan Campaign and completed the task of destroying 100,000 enemies given by Chairman Mao. This quickly changed the Central Plains army once. The stalemate situation.
Su Yu commanded the victory in the East Henan Campaign. Chairman Mao said happily: "We have crossed the col!" and "The most strenuous climbing stage has passed."
As Chen Yi said in a cable to Chairman Mao in August 1947, Su Yu stood out, "This is a great harvest for our party and the people." Chairman Mao replied with a telegram expressing his approval: "What I have seen is very true, I totally agree."
Six and two generals came and swept across the country. What's interesting is that in the final stage of the war of liberation, Lin Biao and Su Yu, two generals, both sang a "counter-tune" with Chairman Mao.
Lin Biao insisted on going north instead of going south, Su Yu insisted not crossing the river.
As a result, Su Yu did not cross the river but led to the battle of Huaihai , Lin Biao did not go south, insisted on fighting Changchun to the north, and the army was in a dilemma under the strong city, until he moved to Jinzhou, this was the battle of Liaoshen.
After more than two years of climbing, the time for a decisive battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has arrived. Lin Biao took the lead in taking the responsibility for the life and death battle, because the Northeast BattlefieldIt is the only area where our army has an absolute advantage, and Lin Biao has lived up to expectations. With a superior advantage, the Northeast Kuomintang army was wiped out cleanly, and won an unprecedented scale of victory.
Su Yu took the initiative on the East China battlefield. According to the continuous changes in the battlefield situation, he transformed the small-scale Xiaohuaihai Battle originally envisaged into the Dahuaihai Battle of strategic decisive battle. Since then, there has been no major battle north of the Yangtze River, and the PLA has millions. The lion has come down to the south of the Yangtze.
Su Yu made the beginning of a full-scale civil war victory for our army with seven battles and seven victories, and with the victory of the Huaihai Battle, the large-scale battle of the Liberation War was finished.
Su Yu wrote the most exciting chapter of an outstanding soldier. His superb art of combat has not only conquered the great commander, but also admired the soldiers who have experienced dozens of years of bullets and bullets in our army. Of course, he has convinced Lin. Military strategist.
