Foreword

On February 15, 1984, Su Yu's body was cremated at Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. The master who was responsible for his cremation admired General Su Yu extremely. Therefore, when screening the ashes, it was completely In a state of concentration, finally, when he was sweeping the ashes on the stove bed, he noticed something strange. Among the ashes of the skull, there was a piece of soybean-sized and two "black flakes" the size of mung beans . He picked up the flakes and carefully observed them for a while, and found that they were three fragments of shrapnel.

When the old masters handed the shrapnel to Su Yu and his son Su Rongsheng, he was also extremely surprised. The truth that had troubled them for decades was revealed. After that, Su Rongsheng immediately told the news to his mother Chu Qing, who was immersed in grief.

Chu Qing looked at the things in front of him blankly, and suddenly his emotions broke out. If they found out earlier, could Su Yu be able to stay with them for a few more years.

Su Yu, I can't control you

General Su Yu is a well-deserved victorious general. He has fought in the north and south throughout his life, galloping on the battlefield, and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. Every honor he has is earned by his hard work.

Su Yu

Many people think that Su Yu only faced the test of life and death on the battlefield, but this is not the case. He had a brush with death as early as his student days.

After the "April 12" incident in 1927, all parts of the country were shrouded in white terror. At this time, Su Yu was still studying at the Second Normal School of Hunan Province, but he was just a young man who had just joined the Communist Youth League.

What Su Yu didn't expect was that at this moment, a bullet pierced the temporal bone above his right ear. He only felt a sudden blow to his head, and then he immediately fell to the ground. Even moving twice became a luxury, but his consciousness was still awake.

followed. He heard the platoon leader say to him: "Su Yu, I can't control you." After saying that, the platoon leader removed the shell gun from him, left him where he was and left without hesitation.

The shell gun used by Zhu De during the Nanchang Uprising

Su Yu, who was left behind, had only one idea: No matter what, he must stand up and catch up with the troops. He must not leave the revolutionary ranks. He stood up with a breath, then his legs weakened and his body shook uncontrollably, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

Su Yu knew that his body was not allowed, so he simply rolled down the hillside until he rolled into a paddy field on the roadside. Several comrades from the Nanchang Uprising Army happened to be walking along the mountainside and found Su Yu in the paddy field. They slowly helped Su Yu up, saw his injured appearance, and bandaged his wound. After that, they supported him again. They hugged each other and finally caught up with the troops.

The battles in Wuping County and Shijingling enabled the remnants of the Nanchang Uprising Army to escape the heavy pursuit of the Kuomintang Army. However, what they had to face along the way was hunger, injuries, etc., so that every day they could see some officers and soldiers running away or rebelling. However, Su Yu persisted, dragging his seriously injured body and moving forward with firm eyes.

Leave me alone, go and pursue the enemy.

Su Yu

In late February 1930, Su Yu and Xiao Jinguang led the troops to march into the southern Jiangxi region with the Red Army . In Jishui and Shuinan in the southern part of Jian, they participated in the battle to eliminate the Tang Yunshan Independent Fifteenth Brigade of the Kuomintang army that invaded the Soviet area in southern Jiangxi.

However, in the fierce battle, he was caught off guard. The enemy fired a mortar shell at him. The shell exploded directly next to Su Yu. Su Yu only felt that his head was violently hit, and then he fell to the ground and fainted.

The soldiers saw that the political commissar of the detachment had a head injury and his face was covered with blood. They ran to bandage his wound at a loss and were about to carry him off the battlefield. However, after Su Yu woke up, he refused to let them take care of himself first. Instead, he said: "Leave me alone, go and chase the enemy." He finished speaking with one breath, and then passed out due to exhaustion.

After that, Su Yu was quickly sent to the rear hospital. The doctor was frightened when he saw the blood on his face and took the time to clean his wound. Su Yu was treated in the hospital for three months and then returned to the team after recovering from his injury.

In this battle of Shuinan, the Fourth Red Army destroyed a brigade of enemy soldiers. In addition, they also captured a large amount of their guns and supplies.

Su Yu

After recovering from his injury, Su Yu devoted himself wholeheartedly to planning the battle and continued to devote himself to the command of the battle. However, However, in the following days, Su Yu would notice dizziness and headaches whenever he encountered intense fighting or overexertion. Moreover, as wars broke out more frequently, his dizziness and headaches became more serious. Injuries on the battlefield were common, so Su Yu did not take this matter to heart.

You are quite ambitious.

Su Yu was extremely brave on the battlefield, but he also lacked someone to look after him who knew both coldness and warmth. Soon, he met the other half of his life.

In the spring of 1939, Su Yu met Chu Qing in southern Anhui. At that time, Su Yu returned to the military headquarters to attend a meeting held by Zhou Enlai. However, Chu Qing had just joined the army not long ago and was still studying in the military stenography class.

When the two met for the first time, Su Yu had a heavy responsibility. He needed to select a few students with both ability and political integrity to work in the agency. As soon as Su Yu entered the door, he saw a pretty girl who was concentrating on writing calligraphy stroke by stroke. Her concentrated expression was not disturbed by the sounds from the outside world.

The person in charge of Su Yu's family

saw Su Yu looking at her intently, so he took the initiative to introduce to him that this girl's name was Zhan Yongzhu, and she was from Yangzhou .

Su Yu chatted with this fifteen-year-old female student and found that this girl was not only quick-thinking, but also articulate, and her tone of voice was also very emotional. After this meeting, Zhan Yongzhu's appearance remained in Su Yu's mind.

After Zhan Yongzhu joined the New Fourth Army, she was worried that her family would be implicated, so she changed her name to Chu Qing. In fact, the surname "Chu" was given to her by Su Yu. At that time, Su Yu wrote down ten or twenty surnames on paper and asked her to choose the one she liked. In the end, she chose one The word "Chu" sounded catchy to her. At that time, Su Yu even joked with her: "Xiao Zhan, you have been fooled. My hometown in Hunan belongs to the Chu country, and you are from our hometown."

I have to say that the two of them are destined by God.

Chu Qing also got to know Su Yu after they met. Although he had strict requirements on his subordinates, he was kind and kind to others. At that time, everyone lived in the same ancestral hall, and Su Yu lived in the small attic next to the ancestral hall, and Chu Qing and the female soldiers lived under the attic.

Suyu Chuqing

Su Yu is usually very busy at work, and it has become his norm to work late at night. The guard was afraid that he would be hungry at night, so he simply bought some biscuits and placed them in a bamboo tube behind Su Yu's bed.

As a result, one day, Chu Qing and the other female soldiers ate all the biscuits in the bamboo tube, and then naughtily wrote a note saying "The little mouse stole it" and put it in the empty tube. After seeing this note, Su Yu understood the whole story and just smiled. The next day, when Su Yu saw Chu Qing and others, he smiled and said: "Welcome the little mouse to come again." Everyone blushed at what he said and ran away shyly.

After some time, Su Yu couldn't restrain the joy in his heart and wrote another letter to Chu Qing. Chu Qing didn't look very good after seeing the envelope. He didn't open the letter at all and just tore it up casually. Su Yu didn't expect this result. He was self-defeating. However, he didn't give up because of Chu Qing's rejection. He respected the girl he liked and got a deeper understanding of her character from this incident. He didn't complain or get angry, but said : "Love is emotion first. Zhan Yongzhu doesn't want to fall in love with me. I can't blame her, because she has the freedom to choose in love."

Chu Qing

After Chu Qing graduated from the military shorthand class, he was assigned to the Jiangnan Command. As a result, he became Su Yu's subordinate. The two met every day. Su Yu's love for Chu Qing did not change at all. However, he did not force the other party to like him. Su Yu was extremely calm every time they met. This way, Chu Qing also felt at ease. In fact, she had been secretly observing Su Yu in private.

After a while, Su Yu couldn't hold back his inner impulse, so he simply made an appointment with Chu Qing to a crystal clear stream and once again expressed his love for her to her.

However, even now, Chu Qing still said very calmly: "Chief, I admire your personality and talent very much, but I have just started working and don't want to fall in love yet. And now that the country is facing a national crisis, I don't want to think about these small things prematurely."

After hearing Chu Qing's view on love, Su Yu not only did not give up, but He admired her even more, and said: "Comrade Chu Qing, you are right, we should work hard to win the Anti-Japanese War. I admire your ambition to serve the country..." Chu Qing agreed with his words, and he said: "Well, I ask you to think about it. It is best for us to make friends and learn from each other and help each other in the future. This is not inconsistent with revolution. Su Yu expressed his love to her sincerely.

Su Yu Chu Qing

For Chu Qing, Su Yu did not use his identity to force her to make a decision to like him. In his opinion, Chu Qing has the right to make her own choice whether they can date or whether they can have a family. He cannot deprive her of her rights. All he can do is to work hard to make her like him.

Even if he is broken up in love, Su Yu still remains loyal. With his general demeanor, he later devoted himself to the decisive battle of Huangqiao .

The victory in the decisive battle at Huangqiao gave Chu Qing a deeper understanding of Su Yu, and also made her fall in love with him.

One evening in the late winter of 1940, Su Yu once again courted Chu Qing by the river where he was stationed. This time Chu Qing did not refuse, but lowered his head shyly without saying a word. Su Yu said: "I just hope you know that I really love you. If you can't accept my love for the time being, I can wait, wait for one year, two years, three years..."

Chu Qing murmured: "Then, you have to wait for a long time! "

" If this is the case, I will continue to wait, wait another three years, two three years, until you agree! "

Suyu

Chu Qing looked at Su Yu deeply, as if she wanted to completely engrave her in her mind. She said affectionately: "Then...I will promise you now." "

So, the two people held their hands tightly together. Although the weather outside was very cold, their hearts were hot.

On December 26, 1941, 18-year-old Chu Qing married 34-year-old Su Yu.

Mao Zedong had always believed in Su Yu's talents. Mao Zedong once said a prophetic word: "This person who grew up as a soldier will be able to command an army of four to five million people in the future. "

found three fragments of shrapnel

Mao Zedong's guess was correct, because although Su Yu was wounded six times and narrowly escaped death, he used his troops like a god and created many miracles on the battlefield, especially in the Huaihai Battle China wins more with less.

Mao Zedong read the newspaper

When commanding the Huaihai Campaign, Su Yu stayed at the command post day and night, paying attention to the changes on the battlefield all the time. He once did not sleep for seven days and nights. Such continuous work made his headaches and dizziness more serious. Gradually, Su Yu became accustomed to such pain. Every time he felt pain, he would ask the guards around him to press his head repeatedly. Sometimes he would rinse his head with cold water. If it didn't work, he would rely on looking at the map to divert his attention. In the end, he gritted his teeth and commanded. After the battle, Su Yu passed out from exhaustion.

In 1950, the Korean War broke out. After careful consideration, Mao Zedong appointed Su Yu to be the commander of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. When he learned the news, Su Yu was extremely happy. He was fully prepared, but his condition became more serious and was not enough to support him on the battlefield. In the end, he had to report his condition to Mao Zedong. Finally, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, he was sent to Qingdao for recuperation.

However, Su Yu's condition has always concerned everyone. After negotiations between the central government and the Soviet Union, arranged for Su Yu to go to Moscow for continued treatment. However, even after several months of treatment in Moscow, Su Yu's headache was still not relieved. For decades, this pain has been tormenting Su Yu.

Three shrapnels in Su Yu’s head

On February 15, 1984, Su Yu’s body was cremated at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. The old master in charge of his cremation admired General Su Yu extremely, so he was completely absorbed in sifting the ashes. Finally, when he was sweeping the ashes on the stove bed, he noticed something strange. Among the skull ashes, there was a soybean-sized piece and two "black flakes" the size of mung beans. He picked up the flakes and observed them carefully for a while, and found that they were three fragments of shrapnel.

When the old masters handed the shrapnel to Su Yu and his son Su Rongsheng, he was also extremely surprised. The truth that had troubled them for decades was revealed. After that, Su Rongsheng immediately told his mother Chu Qing, who was immersed in grief, the news.

Chu Qing stared at the things in front of him blankly, and suddenly his emotions broke out. If they had found out earlier, could Su Yu have been able to accompany them for a few more years: "If these three pieces of shrapnel were left behind when he was injured in the Battle of Shuinan, it would have been in his head for 54 years, but none of our family members knew it. "I only know that he often had splitting headaches during his lifetime...""

In 2003, when the Academy of Military Sciences was preparing to build the Academy's History Museum, Chu Qing personally presented one of the shrapnel fragments to the Academy of Military Sciences' History Museum for display, and then gave the other two to his eldest son Su Rongsheng for safekeeping.
