Everyone says that Chen is not free from Su, Su is not free from Chen. Without Chen Yi , will Su Yu not fight?
Chen Yi and Su Yu met very early, when the Nanchang Uprising was in 1927, but it was more than ten years later that the two officially began to cooperate. In November 1939, the Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army was established, with Chen Yi as the commander, and the deputy commander was Su Yu. From then on, the famous "Chen Su" combination was officially formed.
There have been many famous combinations in the history of our army, from the "Zhu Mao" combination in the early days of the Red Army , to the "Liu Deng" combination in the Eighth Route Army in the first 1st of the Anti-Japanese War, to the "Chen Su" combination in the New Fourth Army, they are all combat combinations that scared the enemy.
The early careers of Chen Yi and Su Yu were completely different: Chen Yi was born in a landlord family, but his family had huge changes in his childhood and his life was very difficult. After he was sent back to France to work and study, he gradually became a professional revolutionary and worked with Liu Bocheng and Wu Yuzhang during the Shunlu Uprising; Su Yu had no experience in living abroad, nor did he have as many experiences in social activities as Chen Yi, and he was a pure soldier at the beginning.
Su Yu participated in the Nanchang Uprising earlier than Chen Yi. Su Yu was the guard squad leader of Ye Ting's troops at that time and participated in the battle in Nanchang City; Chen Yi was the Party Secretary of the Wuhan Central Military and Political Academy at that time and participated in the Nanchang Uprising halfway. By the time he joined the team, it was already on the way to the rebel army to Guangdong.
Chen Yi's arrival made Zhou Enlai, the supreme leader of the uprising, very happy. The two became revolutionary comrades-in-arms as early as Europe. At that time, the rebel general Cai Tingkai had just rebelled and pulled away a division. Zhou Enlai was very excited when he saw Chen Yi and felt that he was at the right time. He immediately made him serve as the political instructor of the main force and the 73rd Regiment of the 25th Division.
Chen and Su Chu met: Chen Yi was in charge of the army, and Su Yu admired him very much.
Chen Yi was a regiment-level cadre at the time. At that time, the enemy situation was serious and the troops were marching in a hurry. Chen Yi might not have remembered Su Yu immediately. Because Chen Yi was not a military chief, he was not valued in the army. But soon, Su Yu realized Chen Yi's political strength.
After the Nanchang Uprising team suffered a failure in Guangdong, the rest of the troops fought hard under the leadership of Zhu De and Chen Yi, which was very difficult.
It was already autumn, and the soldiers were still marching in the mountains in summer clothes. Behind them were the hard pursuit of enemy troops from all walks of life, and were attacked by local regiments from time to time. The troops had no money, no food, no supplies, no quilts, no medicine, and more importantly, where is the rebel army going? Where is the future?
At that time, there was a kind of negative and confusion in the entire uprising ranks. Moreover, because the rebels were all from the old army, some discipline problems inevitably arose, and some were even very serious. Some people rushed to the restaurant to eat and drink without paying money. Some people went to the pawnshop to throw the grenade on the counter with a "bang" and spend it with the boss.
Zhu De and Chen Yi both felt that the troops must be rectified. So, after the troops entered the county town of Xinfeng, one morning, Chen Yi suddenly ordered the soldiers to blow the emergency assembly call, and pulled the team to run to a valley more than 20 miles away from the county town. Everyone had just assembled, and the commander Zhu De also arrived.
Zhu De took the lead in speaking, announcing that from then on, he and Chen Yi will lead the troops, and at the same time encourage everyone to persevere in difficult times. Chen Yi reiterated the military discipline again and enforced the military discipline on the spot by the three bad guys who seriously violated the military discipline.
Subsequently, with the support of Zhu De, Chen Yi re-registered all the party and league members of the entire army and was assigned to each company as political backbone. With their leading role, the style of the army was significantly improved.
Su Yu witnessed all the rectification process of the troops by Zhu De and Chen Yi, and he also truly felt the rapid improvement of the troops after the rectification. In "Memoirs of Su Yu's War", Su Yu restored the whole thing and mentioned many times the key role of Chen Yi in this great change. His admiration and love were beyond words.
Before the founding of the New Fourth Army, Chen Yi and Su Yu experienced at least three years of separation.
From Jinggangshan to Central Soviet Area, Chen Yi witnessed Su Yu's growth, who went from a young man to the backbone general of Central Red Army .
As a veteran of the Red Army, Chen Yi has always held an important leadership position in the Soviet area, serving as commander of the Jiangxi Military Region and commander of the Western Army. Since Su Yu's military genius was discovered by Mao Zedong and Zhu De in Jinggangshan, his position has risen all the way. On the eve of Long March 2, Su Yu has become the chief of staff of the Red 7th Corps and has grown into a backbone general of the Red Army.
There is no definite historical data to show when Chen Yi and Su Yu met in the Central Soviet Area. Before , the main force of the Central Red Army, Su Yu followed the Red 7th Army to the junction of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and marched into the northeast direction as a partial division to attract the attention of the enemy and create conditions for the main force of the Red Army to fight westward.
For three years since then, Chen Yi and Su Yu have never met again.
Chen Yi stayed in the Central Soviet Area and commanded the guerrilla war with Xiang Ying. Their active areas are mainly and in southern Guangdong. Su Yu was also insisting on guerrilla warfare, but he was active in Zhejiang. During this period, although Xiang Ying and Chen Yi were the first and second leaders of the guerrilla warfare of the Red Army in the eight southern provinces, due to the serious enemy situation, the guerrillas were isolated in the mountains and could not communicate with each other. In addition, the radio station could not contact each other, so everyone was basically doing their own things.
It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that the Red Army guerrillas in the eight southern provinces were reorganized into the New Fourth Army, and Chen Yi and Su Yu met again. At that time, Chen Yi served as deputy secretary (vice chairman) of the New Fourth Army Branch of the Military Commission and commander of the 1st Detachment, while Su Yu served as deputy commander of the 2nd Detachment. The two did not have much interaction.
It was not until November 1939 that the 1st Detachment and 2nd Detachment of the New Fourth Army merged into the Jiangnan Command, with Chen Yi as the commander and Su Yu as the deputy commander. At this time, the cooperation between the two was officially confirmed, and the "Chen Su combination" was officially formed.
is Chen Bulisu? Or is Su Buli Chen? Without Chen Yi, would Su Yu not have fought a war?
For a long time, this statement has been circulated among military fans that Su Yu is indeed very powerful in military affairs, but if Chen Yi had not been in charge, especially those thorns in the army, Su Yu would not have achieved such a brilliant victory! In other words, without Chen Yi, Su Yu would not have fought a war.
Is this the truth?
Let’s first look at the following facts, and this question will have an answer.
First of all, when Chen Yi and Su Yu were together, they did fight many big battles, tough battles and beautiful battles, especially when the strength of the Eastern China troops was not outstanding, these victories were even more valuable and valuable.
Before and after the establishment of East China Field Army , Chen Yi and Su Yu commanded several major wars in succession, and they won every battle, and each time they annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops: Subei Battle , the beloved general of the Jiang father and son, the backbone of the young army, Dai Zhiqi committed suicide; Lunan Battle , Shandong people hated Ma Liwu was captured alive; Laiwu Battle had greater results, 50,000 or 60,000 Kuomintang troops were annihilated, Shandong General Li Xianzhou was his The fellow villagers in Shandong captured them alive; especially the Menglianggu Battle , which was recorded in history. In the dense formation of the enemy, Chen Yi and Su Yu dug out the 74th Division, one of the five major aces of the Kuomintang, and ate them in one bite. From the division commander Zhang Lingfu to the kook-groom, no one escaped...
So, many people say that without Chen Yi, Su Yu could not deal with the generals of the Eighth Route Army system of the Shandong Field Army, especially Xu Shiyou, Song Shilun and Chen Shiju .
But what is the truth?
We can see what Su Yu's record is when he was not with Chen Yi?
The two major field troops in China and Shandong were not merged, Su Yu commanded the famous Su Zhong "7 battles and seven victories ", and fought with the famous Kuomintang army general Li Mo'an , defeating this Hu Zongnan , both literary and martial, Li Mo'an " with "Mr. 1Hu and Wu " with "Mr. 1Hu and Wu Li Mo'an" with "Mr. 1Hu and Wu" was the best student who lost his troops and lost his generals;
After Chen Yi transferred to the Central Plains, Su Yu commanded Huaye alone, and his record was even greater at this time Outstanding, the battle of Jinan was won in 28 days, opening the prelude to the decisive battle;
Huaihai Battle killed 550,000 enemies in one battle, completely crippling the Chiang army; Crossing the Yangtze River Battle was even more ruined, and the Jiang family dynasty sounded the death knell; Chen Yi, the commander of the subsequent battle, basically did not participate, especially the significance of Shanghai Battle ...
Chen Yi and Su Yu were not together for a long time, far less than the days when they separated, and without Chen Yi, Su Yu's record seemed to be even more brilliant. Therefore, it is not objective to arbitrarily evaluate that Su Yu would not have fought without Chen Yi.
Of course, we will never deny Chen Yi's huge role. We can only say that the cooperation between the two has produced chemical changes, and the effect of 1 plus 1 is much greater than 2.
Several differences between Chen Yi and Su Yu prove that he is an open and honest politician.
In Chen Yi and Su Yu's military and political careers, there were three major differences in total, and almost every time it proved that Su Yu was correct.
But this never affected the relationship between Chen Yi and Su Yu. Whether it was the internal or external war at the beginning of the War of Liberation, the two Huai and Shuyang disputes when defending the liberated areas of Jiangsu and Anhui, and the later differences in attacking Lianshui or Chen Yi's return to Shandong , they were finally perfectly resolved: Su Yu was recognized in tactical terms, while Chen Yi won everyone's respect with his broad mind and courage to reflect on himself.
In fact, the above three differences can only be considered tactical. As the War of Liberation progressed, Chen Yi and Su Yu had another disagreement in an extremely important strategic action.
At that time, Liu and Deng's army jumped into Dabie Mountains from southwest Shandong. While revealing the prelude to the People's Liberation Army's offensive, they also took huge risks and pressure. At that time, Liu and Deng's army, Chen Su's army and Chen Xie's army competed in the Central Plains in a font. The battle was very stalemate. Mao Zedong, who was about to cross the Yellow River from northern Shaanxi, was very anxious and hoped to send another surprise troops to relieve the pressure on the Central Plains battlefield.
His method is to make another leap into the Dabie Mountains without a rear-end war, and sent Su Yu to lead three columns to Jiangnan, and spent one to two years to fight from the middle of the Yangtze River to Fujian and Zhejiang. On the one hand, it would disrupt the Chiang Kai-shek and Jiangnan, and on the other hand, it would attract enemy troops to transfer south to reduce the pressure on the Central Plains.
Chen Yi agreed with this move, and Mao Zedong specially called him to Yangjiagou and handed over it. Mao Zedong's blueprint drawing greatly encouraged Chen Yi. He was very passionate and wrote a poem specifically: Little living in Yanggou for a month, it takes a long time to balance the left and right, and he did not make any moves, so he just wanted to capture the thief. The northern country is like a madman, and the Central Plains is even more capable of competing for the deer. The victory in five years is now possible. I can cross the Yangtze River and send Su Lang .
But Su Yu has different opinions.
Su Yu is a person with strong organizational principles. He will do his best to promote the decisions made by the central government. But he vaguely felt that this was inappropriate, so he acted actively according to the central government's deployment and thought while thinking, and at the same time he was concerned about whether it was inappropriate for his objections to what the central government had already decided.
When he told Chen Yi his opinion, Chen Yi thought about it carefully for a long time and finally felt that Su Yu's opinion was correct, so he supported Su Yu to express his opinion to Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong specially invited them to Chengnanzhuang (at that time, Mao Zedong had already led the central government to cross the Yellow River and leave northern Shaanxi to Nie Rongzhen's headquarters in Chengnanzhuang) to study this matter.
Su Yu expressed his ideas to Mao Zedong and Pan. First, cross the Yangtze River south to disperse troops; second, at least half of the troops were lost when fighting in Jiangnan for thousands of miles. Without the rear, it would be very difficult to fight. You can see the loss of Liu and Deng jumping into the Dabie Mountains for thousands of miles; finally, the purpose of fighting in Jiangnan was to attract the enemy to divide the troops in Jiangnan, thereby reducing the pressure on the Central Plains. But in fact, the effect of this would not be too obvious. Chiang Kai-shek's direct divisions would not move south, and the power of the Guangxi clan did not dare to move south (worrying that the Guangxi clan robbed his territory).
Therefore, Su Yu's suggestion is that several columns should not cross the river and stay in Jiangbei to fight a big annihilation battle.
After Su Yu's explanation, the Secretariat led by Mao Zedong agreed to his opinion, but it was not only Jiang's timely - this decision has a direct relationship with the later Huaihai Battle.
. Chen Yi adopted the attitude of "not only books, not top, but only reality" in this matter, and did not worry about his own face, but seek truth from facts. In the face of Su Yu's analysis, he was brave enough to deny himself, and in turn spoke for Su Yu in front of Mao Zedong. This kind of demeanor, demeanor and height are obviously not something that ordinary people can do.
How to understand "Chen will not leave millet, millet will not leave Chen"?
How should we understand the circulating "Chen is forbidden and millet is forbidden and millet is forbidden and Chen"? Is this wrong?
We believe that it takes a certain amount of wisdom to view this sentence. If we think in a narrow sense that this only refers to war, then this is definitely wrong. According to the analysis just now, Su Yu fought a bigger, harder and more beautiful battle without Chen Yi. Obviously, it cannot be said that if Su Yu left Chen Yi, he would not fight.
But we must say that this is right, because if it rises to the height of revolutionary friendship and cooperation between the two, it is definitely "Chen will not leave Su, Su will not leave Chen".
"Chen Buli Su" is easy to understand. Although Chen Yi is also a military master of his generation, this mainly refers to his comprehensive military contributions, and specific combat command must rely on military geniuses. Looking at his contributions to the War of Liberation, he either cooperated with Su Yu or Liu Bocheng, who are recognized as god-level figures in our army.
So how do you understand "Su Buli Chen"? We put the timeline longer. From the two of us in the Anti-Japanese War, we can see that Su Yu's growth and great contributions made are mostly inseparable from Chen Yi's cultivation, trust, delegating power and support. Huangqiao decisive battle was the beginning of Chen Yi's discovery of Su Yu's military genius. In the early stage of liberation, the defeat of Si County battle, the loss of the two Huai Rivers until the establishment of Huaye. Chen Yi mainly relies on Su Yu in military affairs, and the premise that Su Yu can do his best is that Chen Yi helps him handle all other problems, including the "settlement" of the old eighth route in Shandong mentioned earlier.
After Su Yu was able to be completely independent in the Huaye, Chen Yi completely delegated power and let go. Chen Yi had several important characteristics in his decades of military and political career. First, he was absolutely loyal to the revolutionary cause and never wavered no matter how difficult it was. Second, he was very strong in the organizational principles, and he must implement the things decided by his superiors, not saying a word, including the issue with Rao Shushi; Third, he had no selfishness. He was prepared to hand over the mountain field to Xu Xiangqian in the early stage of the Liberation War, and delegated power to Su Yu without hesitation in the middle of the Liberation War, and went to the Central Plains alone. Such a mind and pattern are an important prerequisite for Su Yu to do his best.
is correct and has a high level to understand "Su Buli Chen" from this perspective. In fact, in Chen Yi's life, except for a few ambitious people, most people like to cooperate with him, and the cooperation effect is also very good, which has already shown the problem.
In 1958, Su Yu encountered difficulties and often saw many people criticizing Su Yu for his first attempt. But did you consider that if Chen Yi had not taken the lead in making a statement and set the tone for Su Yu's problem, there would be someone who would have made an infinite attempt to outline it? After Su Yu made the review, Chen Yi was the first to applaud. Everyone, I’m going to take the lead in attacking? Or take the lead in protecting?
In this sense, is it also "Su Buli Chen"?
