As we all know, General Su Yu made great contributions to the New China in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, and was known as the No. 1 General of the Republic. During his many years of military career, the army commanded by Su Yu has repeatedly achieved super strong record of "resisting the strong with weak and defeating the more with less", and was once rumored to be called the "God of War" in the Red Army team. Even Chiang Kai-shek lamented that Su Yu was really "scheming and difficult to eradicate."
However, since the military capabilities are so outstanding that they are called the "God of War" level, it should be no problem for Su Yu to be among the "Top Ten Marshals of China". So, what exactly caused Su Yu to fail to be included in the "Top Ten Marshals of China" in the end? How are his children doing?
1945, Su Yu received a notice from the Central Committee to be the commander of Central China Military Region. After receiving the appointment order, Su Yu fell into deep thought. He thought about it over and over again and finally chose to give a refusal to the relevant departments, saying that he was still inexperienced and was not suitable for taking on this major task. He also proposed to the Central Committee that the old party member Zhang Dingcheng could be the commander and he himself served as the deputy commander; because Zhang Dingcheng's character and ability were very good, he only needed to cooperate. His words were sincere, and the Central Committee had no choice but to approve his request. After the approval of
such as
was approved, Su Yu and Commander Zhang Dingcheng did not disappoint the organization's trust. The two cooperated tacitly and performed well in many combat commands, allowing Central Organization Department to see Su Yu's character and ability again.
Su Yu's humble mind allows him to always get along well with the people around him and give full play to his respective advantages.
In the early years, Su Yu and Chen Yi were both comrades-in-arms in the East China Field Military Region. The two worked together and fought side by side to create many battle myths. During this period, Chen Yi attached great importance to Su Yu. He once compared Su Yu to ancient military strategists Yang Shuzi and Zhuge Liang in a couplet written to Su Yu. Su Yu also admires and respects the authoritative Chen Yi very much, and often says that he always feels very comfortable working under the leadership of Comrade Chen Yi. The comrades around them praised them very much and said, " Chen Yi and Su Yu are partners, and they will be invincible in the world" !
Perhaps, because of this, Su Yu can safely plan in the army and spread good news in various battles. A mountain motion annihilation war in 1947 completely reversed the situation in East China, but also made the two commanders, Su Yu and Chen Yi and Chen Yi and , famous.
In May of that year, senior Kuomintang generals Zhang Lingfu led his army to meet the East China Field Army led by Su Yu and Chen Yi on the battlefield in Shandong. On May 10, Zhang Lingfu's troops were confused by the actions of the People's Liberation Army and left the cover to attack from the western foothills of Menglianggu to the location of the East China Field Army. After learning the news, Su Yu and Chen Yi used various random strategies to cut off and annihilate Zhang Lingfu's troops, and finally wiped out all the reorganized 74th Division and 83rd Division led by Zhang Lingfu on May 16. The commander of Zhang Lingfu was also shot dead by our army during the battle.
Shortly after this battle, the central government decided to let Su Yu serve as the commander of the East China Field Army, and transferred Chen Yi to the Central Plains region to serve as the Central Plains Military Region . Therefore, when Chairman Mao personally summoned Su Yu and told him the news, Su Yu said: Chen Yi is the commander of the East China Field Army. He led his troops to fight for many years, so it is most appropriate to let him serve as the commander. In fact, Su Yu was actually reluctant to let Chen Yi leave at this time. After all, he and Chen Yi have worked together for many years, and the two have clear division of labor in their daily work and have a tacit understanding of cooperation. If Chen Yi suddenly left, he would still be a little panicked. However, at Chairman Mao's insistence, Su Yu could not refuse and had to accept the position of "accepting the acting commander", and alone supported the responsibility and burden of the East China Field Army.
Speaking of this, some people may think that Su Yu gave up his commander position twice, either he just didn't care about his position or he didn't want to take too heavy responsibilities.In fact, Su Yu's wife Chu Qing once recalled this past incident: "Su Yu's promotion of the position of commander was not caused by any 'noble' psychology, it was simply because Su Yu was a general who commanded the war, and giving up the commander was beneficial to commanding the battle."
In fact, it is not difficult to understand this. Because most of the troops were organized by mergers at that time, some were assigned from old officers, and they were used to obeying the instructions of old leaders. There are actually many distrusts for me, a "airborne" general who has little experience.
After all, Su Yu has also experienced the incident of missing the opportunity due to the distrust of his subordinates. Every defeat in a war will cause losses to personnel and property, which he does not want to see as a general. Therefore, from the overall situation, Su Yu is more inclined to have absolute authority in the army to lead the army, and he is only responsible for making suggestions during wars.
After the victory of the War of Liberation, Chairman Mao recommended Su Yu as a member of the "Top Ten Marshals" in consideration of Su Yu's military achievements and prestige in the army. He also said: "In terms of military achievements, talents and morality, Su Yu has no shortage of anything, and he deserves his reputation as a marshal." However, in terms of qualifications, Su Yu is still a little worse than other generals, so Su Yu, who has always been very modest in his name, said: comrades of the veteran level are more suitable. So in the end, except for some generals who went to work in party and government organs who did not participate in the selection of military ranks, the ranks of the top ten marshals were finally given to Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Chen Yi and other senators; while Su Yu was awarded the number one general of the Republic of , , ranking first.
However, although Su Yu was not included in the top ten marshals, as the ever-winning general in the history of our army, he is still the " uncrowned marshal " in everyone's hearts.
1984, General Su Yu, who had been in the army, died of illness in Beijing at the age of 77. In his obituary to be given to him, General Su Yu was "especially good at commanding large-scale corps operations and commanded millions of troops to fight during his lifetime." Perhaps, these two short sentences are enough to summarize Su Yu's lifelong achievements. Although he has passed away, the spirit of heroes will always exist in the hearts of the motherland and the people, and in the hearts of heroes’ descendants.
Su Yu's eldest son Su Rongsheng recalled that when Su Yu was the commander of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region, one day he took his spare time to take him to the river to teach him swimming. However, what he didn't expect was that Su Yu just stuffed him a bamboo tube and said: hold it and jump down! He was stunned and did not react. As a result, his father suddenly picked it up and threw it into the water with a "thump". Su Yu's actions frightened Su Rongsheng, but his survival instinct forced him to hold on to the bamboo tube tightly, not dared to relax, so he had to use his feet to keep fluttering in the water. Su Yu shouted on the shore: children, don’t be afraid, you have to swim by yourself!
Since then, the child has learned to swim, and Su Yu has also obtained an elegant name of idiom producer : Su Yu teaches swimming - throw it in and ignore it.
It can be seen that Su Yu has focused on practicing and real knowledge throughout his life.
Therefore, under his guidance, Su Yu's son Su Rongsheng not only got into the missile major of Harbin Institute of Technology , but also participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and the Vietnam War, becoming a passionate man who has experienced the test of life and death. Later, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and became the deputy commander of a military region; his daughter Su Huining graduated from university and married Chen Xiaolu, the son of Su Yu's former friend and comrade-in-arms [ Chen Yi ], and the couple was loving for life; in 2008, the youngest son Su Hansheng visited the widow of Su Yu's former opponent Zhang Lingfu - Wang Yuling . At the banquet, Wang Yuling smiled with tears and attracted Su Hansheng's toast. This scene made people feel very touching. The previous grudges between Zhang Lingfu and General Su Yu seemed to have all been transformed into this glass of wine that was taken to drink.
Peach blossoms and red rain hero blood, blue sea and sunny patriots' hearts.
Today, China is rising, and the cemetery is comforting the loyal soul forever!
Su Yu's life is not only a defeated general who points out troops on the battlefield, but also a strict parent who educates others with love and strictness, and a well-deserved spiritual model. We are proud that Su Yu and many benevolent people of our generation have appeared on this hot land of China. With such guidance from ancestors, the sun will shine in the East for a long time, and the children of the Chinese nation will not disappoint the heroic martyrs.
