Su Yu tells jokes.

On May 6th, 1947, Hua Ye's main force began to shell Zhang's reorganized 74th Division. Under the sniper of Hua Ye, all Chiang Kai-shek's reinforcements could only look at Meng Lianggu from a distance, watching the BGF 74th Division wiped out.

When the gunfire gradually stopped, Su Yu repeatedly checked the killing figures reported by various units, and found that there were still about 7,000 people who did not match the establishment figures of the 74th Division. He immediately asked not to send a telegram to the chairman for the time being, and ordered: "The troops will report the results again, and the number of captured enemies will be as accurate as possible. Command the troops to continue the search, don't let their guard down, especially in the hidden ravine, and search carefully. Don't stop without orders. "

At this point, Hua Ye's troops are in high spirits for winning the battle and are puzzled by Su Yu's deployment. Su Yu explained: "We advocate the war of annihilation, and we must hunt down the poor bandits. Whether the dog is crazy or over the wall, we will kill it. " He also specially reminded: "7,000 people is not a small number, which will bring us unnecessary losses."

Hua Ye column was ordered to set out, after intense search, found more than seven thousand pieces in a valley, they crowded together, ready to break through. When Su Yu heard the news, he immediately ordered Cheng Jun, Xu and Xu to go out in an emergency, leading troops to panic in the air. Soon, the remaining enemies were wiped out and captured. So far, the 74th Division of Meng Lianggu's reorganization, from teachers to grooms, has hardly escaped the French Open.

Cheers broke out in the valley of Meng Lianggu. Ye Chao, then director of the General Staff of the Ninth Vertical Command, later recalled: "My brothers and I carried out the frontal attack mission together. Although the casualties are not small, I am happy to see that Jiang Jiawang sent troops to annihilate in one fell swoop. "

Hua Ye headquarters is also full of thunder and little rain. Later, Li Yu, Cui Xiexiang, Jie Yu, Tang Hong and other staff officers and guards recalled: "The good news came, and everyone present admired Chief Su Yu's foresight of the enemy and his brilliant command art." He also recalled that Chief Chen Yi was very happy and held Su Yu's hand tightly and said: "You are really getting more and more excited!"

This battle is one of Su Yu's military masterpieces in his life. He used the new tactics of the battalion to fight back, split his wings, cut off the enemy's retreat, and resolutely stopped all ways to help the enemy. Wang Bicheng said in his later years: "The whole process of this campaign, from mobilizing troops to building fighter planes, to the implementation of the campaign, was carried out in accordance with the plan put forward by Comrade Su Yu."

Su Yu's old partner Chen Yi also made great contributions. During the campaign, as commander and political commissar, he gave great support to Su Yu, the deputy commander. Xu Zeng, commander of 9 columns with straightforward personality, bargained with Su Yu on the phone on the grounds that the casualties of the troops were too great. Hearing this, Chen Yi was very unhappy. He grabbed the receiver and said, "What Comrade Su Yu said just now is my opinion. You should carry it out resolutely. No matter how big the casualties are. I still have reserve troops in my hand. I will give you as many casualties as you have! "

With Chen Yi's status and prestige, Xu was absolutely afraid to speak, and Chen Yi also promised to "make up for the casualties as much as possible". What else can he say? Do it right away.

Tiger head Tao heart, every success, the 74th division, the main force of the first reorganization five divisions, was adowa, and other war zone troops also rushed to tell on it. They were excited, most satisfied and surprised, and the chairman was personally leading Hu Zongnan to climb mountains in northern Shaanxi.

He telephoned Chen and Su on May 22nd: "The elimination of the 74th Division is costly, but of great significance." A year later, when I met Su Yu in Xibaipo, he still looked excited and said, "I didn't expect to annihilate the 74th Division." Yan' an published an article and praised it: "The people of the East China People's Liberation Army and the East China Liberated Area have the heaviest tasks and the most glorious achievements."

Our army is like a festival carnival, and Chiang Kai-shek's camp is terrible. Jiang, who lost his first championship, lamented that the defeat of the 74th Division was "the saddest and most regrettable thing". Wang, who started from the reorganization of the 74th Division, was stabbed in the chest before he could heal the pain of Laiwu Battle. He said bitterly, "The loss of the 74th Division is like the loss of his father."

After Chiang Kai-shek's grief, he decided to hold a funeral for Zhang Cao and was posthumously awarded as an army general. With the help of the prisoners released by Hua Ye, he forged Zhang's "suicide note" and even forged an image of "loyalty", hoping to encourage the generals to lay down their lives on the battlefield.

After appeasing the dead, he warned the living and held a group of generals accountable. Zhang's immediate superior and commander of the First Corps, Tang, was removed from his post. His old boss, the division commander of the 83rd BGF Division, was put on trial, and Huang, who betrayed all his strength and had the closest relationship with Zhang, was removed from his post and remained in office to learn from others.

Chiang Kai-shek dealt with the aftermath and began to brew new attacks. Su Yu's road of "stopping the war with war" has a long way to go, far from being poor.

Deeply cultivate the history of war and promote positive energy. Bing said that all parties are welcome to contribute, and private letters will be answered.
