After more than a month's continuous operations, the East China Field Army needs to be trimmed, posing as the main force to contain the enemy's 200,000 troops with the suspicion of the Sixth Division, so that the main force has sufficient time and space for trimming training.
At the beginning, the Independent Sixth Division did use various attacks to make the enemy mistakenly think that he was the main force of the Communist Army. However, with the intensification of attrition, there are more and more besieged troops around, and gradually they are afraid of difficulties and tired of war. I have repeatedly urged my superiors to send more reinforcements to them. Teachers and political commissars have such a fear of difficulties, and the following troops can be imagined.
But from the point of view of General Su Yu, the rest time of large troops has just begun, and many things have just begun, so it is not appropriate to send too suspicious soldiers. Instead of giving reinforcements, he urged them to take greater action and strike hard at the enemy. The only six divisions at the front repeatedly complained and asked for reinforcements. Suddenly, he remembered a raiders of the lost ark. Send them a telegram saying that reinforcements will call back as soon as they arrive. As a result, they didn't find reinforcements in the Sixth Division, but found that their former boss Wang Biao had arrived in their independent Sixth Division. Earlier, they received Wang Biao with surprise and enthusiasm. As a result, they gradually understood that it was Wang Biao, their former boss, who was reinforced by commander Su Yu, rather than any specific reinforcements. During the greeting, the main leaders of the Sixth Independent Division talked about their own difficulties. Wang Biao listened patiently, saying a few words of encouragement and comfort from time to time, especially conveying General Su Yu's affirmation of their achievements and contributions to the overall situation some time ago. As a result, their morale and confidence have gradually improved. They finally understood their task and its significance to the overall situation. At the same time, they learned through enemy newspapers. When they calm down. Wang Biao also lost no time in telling them how to deal with the current predicament, such as how to break the whole into parts, how to harass rather than destroy the enemy, and how to supplement their logistics anywhere, and so on. Under the guidance of Wang Biao, the leaders of the Sixth Independent Division suddenly gained great confidence, changed their ideas, re-formulated practical measures, immediately turned passivity into initiative, and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy from all aspects.
Seeing this, I really understand why the ancients said: a three-inch tongue is better than a million teachers. This is the wisdom of General Su Yu, who sent a man to help a division. The soldier was brilliant, but General Su Yu sent only one person, but it injected confidence and strength into the whole division, which was more powerful than sending two or three regiments. This reminds me of Battle of Red Cliffs in the Three Kingdoms period. Although Liu Bei sent only one Zhuge Liang in the battle of Sun-Liu alliance against Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang's strategy strengthened their confidence, determination and future against Cao Cao.
