Among the founding generals, many people feel sorry for the absence of Su Yu among the top ten marshals! Because in military service, it's a pity that Su Yu was only made a general. Even Chairman Mao awarded the rank of Marshal Su Yu first, and then Su Yu contacted Premier Zhou Enlai to refuse Marshal!
So, who played harder, Su Yu or Lin Biao?
Introduction and Evaluation of Su Yu
General Su Yu is very similar to Lin Biao. They are the same age and participated in the Nanchang Uprising together. Both of them played badly. Su Yu mainly commanded Gaoyou Campaign, Xuzhou-Haizhou Section of Longhai Line, Suzhong Campaign, Menglianggu Campaign, Jinan Campaign, Huaihai Campaign, Du Jiang Campaign and Songhu Campaign. Moreover, Su Yu has never been to a military school, and he is very talented in military affairs!
He is a "god of war" figure in the history of our army's war. Marshal Chen Yi always listens to Su Yu, and Mao Zedong said that "Su Yu won the first prize in the Huaihai Campaign". Liu Bocheng said: "Comrade Su Yu is the best general of our army and a strategist of China." .
Introduction and Evaluation of Lin Biao
Lin Biao is a graduate of Huangpu Military Academy. His life is very complicated, but there is no denying his outstanding military achievements. Lin Biao mainly commanded the battles of Pingxingguan, Liaoshen and Ping Jin, and liberated southwest provinces such as Southwest, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Qionglai.
The war in Lin Biao was also very unexpected. It is the existence of "ever-victorious generals", which was said by Chairman Mao himself. Chiang Kai-shek also admired Lin Biao very much. "I want to praise him (Lin Biao). He is the best general in Huangpu, because he defeated his seniors and instructors! I, the headmaster, failed in my duty and didn't care enough about him in Huangpu, so that he defected to * * *! "
Compare from grade to grade
Everyone knows that Lin Biao is one of the top ten marshals, and Su Yu is the first of the generals. In fact, according to Su Yu's length of military service, it is enough to award the marshal, but Su Yu kept a low profile and didn't want to be awarded the marshal, so he was awarded the general. In terms of rank, Su Yu is lower than Lin Biao.
Compared with military achievements
Both of them are good at fighting. In the War of Liberation, Su Yu led his troops to annihilate the Kuomintang army, accounting for a quarter of the total number, while Lin Biao wiped out a fifth of the total number. Su Yu wiped out more than 2 million Kuomintang troops and Lin Biao wiped out 1.8 million. In terms of quantity, Su Yu is more than Lin Biao.
From the comparison of combat difficulty.
The battles commanded by Su Yu are all battles with less chances of winning. From the Soviet Union's seven victories in seven wars to the Jinan Campaign and Huaihai Campaign, Su Yu played quite beautifully! However, the only serious battle in Lin Biao was Liaoshen Peace Prize, and Ping Jin only went to Peiping and Tianjin, which was peacefully liberated. Therefore, in terms of operational difficulty, Su Yu is better than Lin Biao.
Comparison from the same reference
Su Yu and Lin Biao fought Du of the Kuomintang at the same time. Du is also one of the few generals in the Kuomintang who can fight, and the only one who has defeated Lin Biao. Lin Biao and Du were in the northeast. At that time, Lin Biao didn't get much cheaper from Du, but was beaten back by Du.
Su Yu and Du participated in the Huaihai Campaign, which was a life-and-death battle with the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, Su Yu skillfully used tricks in the Huaihai Campaign, so that Du was surrounded by Su Yu and 300,000 troops were captured by Su Yu.
So from this perspective, Su Yu looks more powerful.
