It is such a famous person in the world, but he is very strict with himself, and he has his own way and principle of doing things and doing things, never putting up a shelf.

General Su Yu was born in 1907 in Huitong, Hunan, a Dong ethnic group.
Since joining the revolution in 1927, he has always been firm in following the party line, meticulously completing every task, after the founding of the country, even if he is in an important position, he has always adhered to a hard and simple style of life, the cars assigned to him by the state are rarely used, and there are basically no guards around, he has always regarded himself as an ordinary person, and he does not wear much military uniform when he goes out, it is precisely because he is so low-key, there is a life of being stopped outside the door to make people cry and laugh and painful experience, but at the same time as General Su Yu is low-key, we must also know, On the battlefield, General Su Yu did not keep a low profile at all, killed decisively, and won the war with strong strategic command ability.
At the "high-profile" moment of General Su Yu, the Battle of Meng Lianggu completely annihilated the nationalist integrated 74th Division
In 1947, the Kuomintang side's all-out attack on the plaster troops of our People's Liberation Army was crushed, and the unwilling Chiang government immediately dispatched a large number of troops to the Shandong area to launch another large-scale attack on our liberated areas, with the intention of retrieving the "field." For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek used the top forces in the Shandong region at any cost, and ordered his confidants Tang Boen and Zhang Lingfu to lead the elite reorganized 74th Division to Shandong to "suppress" our PLA troops.
At this time, the East China Field Army, under the leadership of Marshal Chen Yi and General Su Yu, had been resting for a long time in the Yimeng area of Shandong Province, and was in the midst of no fighting and idle panic, and finally ushered in an opportunity; at that time, the Kuomintang reorganized 11th Division was stationed in the Xintai area, and General Su Yu saw the opportunity to immediately lead the four columns of the Huaye Army to encircle and fight against the Kuomintang 11th Division. Calmly observe the enemy's movements in the rear.
General Su Yu analyzed that this withdrawal is confusing, perhaps the enemy will think that we are afraid or the strength is not enough, they will most likely take advantage of this node to pursue the Huaye army, it is better to plan, let them think that the Huaye army is what they think, as long as they come to pursue, they will catch him by surprise.
Tang Bo'en and Zhang Lingfu, who were in the Linyi area, quickly won the plan and led the reorganized 74th Division of the Kuomintang Us Armament Force to attack our army, and Tang and Zhang also made wild remarks that they wanted to destroy the Huaye Army, and then drove Marshal Chen Yi to the East China Sea to feed the fish. Tang Bourne and Zhang Lingfu certainly could not have imagined that in the near future, they would pay the price of blood for their arrogance.
The reorganized 74th Division of the Kuomintang under the leadership of Zhang Lingfu went to the Yimeng area, but the reorganized 74th Division, which had originally fallen behind the Huaye Army, lost its target at this time, and as soon as it entered the Yimeng Mountain, the Huaye Army disappeared and turned around in the mountains for several days, and even the shadow was not caught, Tang Bonn and Zhang Lingfu were a little anxious, and Zhang Lingfu, who was earnest in his meritorious service, immediately offered a plan, and wanted to take the initiative to attack, and the reorganized 74th Division sought a breakthrough and launched an attack on the headquarters of the Huaye Army around Tanbu, and Tang Bourne immediately allowed it to ask Zhang Lingfu to implement the plan.
The enemy's movements reached General Su Yu for the first time, and he looked at the intelligence on the desk and thought that at this time, Zhang Lingfu and the reorganized 74th Division were going deep alone without knowing it, and the best time for combat had arrived, and what needed to be done now was to mobilize troops, quietly surround the reorganized 74th Division from multiple directions, and cut off the support route of the Kuomintang troops on the outskirts of the battlefield, at which time Zhang Lingfu could catch turtles in an urn.
Zhang Lingfu gradually entered the depths of the encirclement, he was not aware of the danger, but in the periphery Tang Bourne first felt that the situation was developing uncontrollably, he keenly realized that at this time the reorganized 74th Division had been about 20 miles away from the large troops in the rear, once the Huaye Army surrounded the reorganized 74th Division, he had no way to do anything on the periphery, Tang Bourne immediately drove after the reorganized 74th Division, and as soon as he reached the end of the line, he immediately let the soldiers of the reorganized 74th Division inform Zhang Lingfu to slow down, who wanted to reorganize the 74th Division was usually arrogant. He didn't pay attention to Tang Bo'en's words at all, and directly said that he only listened to Zhang Lingfu's orders and didn't listen to anything else.
Tang Bourne fell on his back in anger, and did not continue to catch up with a little luck, and the reorganized 74th Division lost its last vitality.
On the night of 13 May, when the battle was ripe, General Su Yu ordered a general offensive against the reorganized 74th Division
Zhang Lingfu was excited instead, thinking that the opportunity to reorganize the 74th Division to practice his hands had finally come, and this time he was bound to make a great contribution to go back.
The two sides exchanged fire at Duozhuang in the Menglianggu area, the smoke was everywhere, the battle was extremely fierce, here was the only remaining communication channel to the outside, Tang Bourne ordered Zhang Lingfu must take Duozhuang as soon as possible, must not fall into the hands of Huaye Army, who thought that Zhang Lingfu had not yet begun to act, General Su Yu ordered the 6th Column to take Duozhuang, and cut off the retreat of the reorganized 74th Division.
Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek learned the news that the reorganized 74th Division was under siege, and was extremely anxious, and immediately sent a telegram to Gu Zhutong to go to reinforcements, a move that was once again guarded by our army, and General Xu Shiyou's troops had been waiting for a long time. At this time, the internal and external lines were simultaneously at war, and the reorganized 74th Division was firmly locked by the troops led by Ye Fei and Wang Bicheng, and Zhang Lingfu, who could not be a life, broke through the defense in an instant, and kept sending reports to the surrounding troops for help, but it was too late, no matter which unit was firmly cut off by our army on the periphery, unable to enter the battlefield.
(Zhang Lingfu)
General Su Yu ordered a final round of attack, Zhang Lingfu led the remnants into the mountains of Menglianggu, directly broke through the defense in the absence of food and clothing, Zhang Lingfu was killed by our army on the way to escape, and the whole army of the reorganized 74th Division was destroyed. Under the command of General Su Yu and Marshal Chen Yi, the Huaye Army fought the most beautiful battle in the counter-offensive stage, in which more than 32,000 enemy troops were annihilated and a large number of weapons and materials were captured.
Stopped outside the door by ordinary sentries, a letter of introduction is required to enter the gate
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Su Yu was the chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army, and once Su Yu went to the army to talk to a leader about things, according to the past style, he did not inform the driver, nor did he bring the guards with him, a person walked to the gate of the army, just wanted to enter, but was stopped by the sentry at the door.
The sentry was not very old, nor had he ever met General Su Yu, so after stopping General Su Yu, he directly asked him who he was looking for, and Su Yu was not angry, and replied politely: Little comrade, I am looking for your leader. The sentry still did not relax, and then asked: Do you have a letter of introduction? There is no inability to enter.
General Su Yu did not rush or reprimand this little soldier, but patiently explained: I do not have a letter of introduction, but there are very important things to find your leaders, otherwise, you can go in and help me report it. The sentry looked up and down at General Su Yu, and felt that he was polite and dignified, not like a liar, so he replied: Then you wait, I will see if the leader has time to see you. General Su Yu nodded, and just stood at the door waiting for a reply from the troops.
After a while, the leader hurriedly ran out, shouting as he ran: Quickly invite Commander Su to come in, and when he arrived at the gate, he criticized the sentry standing guard: Who made you stop Commander Su outside the door? While shaking hands with General Su Yu, he glanced at the sentry.
This little soldier was also confused and aggrieved, thinking that this was Commander Su, why was he stopped by me outside the door and did not go directly in? The leader of the unit wanted to criticize the sentry for giving a blow to General Su Yu, and General Su Yu hurriedly stopped the leader and praised the young soldier for his due diligence, which was worthy of praise. From this incident, it can be seen that General Su Yu is not only low-key, but also kind and approachable, with an open mind that ordinary people do not have.
Visiting his sick wife, he was stopped by a nurse
(General Su Yu and his wife Chu Qing)
In his later years, his wife Chu Qing fell ill and was hospitalized at Beijing 301 Hospital. On this day, he went to the 301 Hospital alone to visit his wife, just walked to the door of the inpatient department building, he was stopped by the medical staff inside, the medical staff saw that he was dressed simply and walked outside the old man was no different, directly told General Su Yu that the hospital has a fixed visiting time, and now it has not reached the specified time, can not go in, first wait outside the meeting.
General Su Yu didn't say anything more and sat down directly on the steps of the hospital. During the waiting period, a small leader in the city, sitting in a special car also came to see the patient, this leader was very impressive, with the guard and secretary and a large group of other people directly parked the car downstairs, no one got off the car, the staff went to the door to negotiate with the medical staff, after the medical staff confirmed that they could enter directly, the leader got out of the car, surrounded by others, entered the hospital, the medical staff who stopped Su Yu before was very respectful and polite throughout the whole process, and did not block it like treating Su Yu.
Whether it is a position or a meritorious service, there are few people in the whole country who can stand shoulder to shoulder with General Su Yu, let alone this small leader in the city, but After seeing that the leader was treated specially, He still did not say anything, sat steadily on the steps, carrying the fruit in his hand, until the hospital staff told him that he could enter the ward to visit, and General Su Yu got up and walked into the hospital building to visit his wife on the bed.
It is such a figure who has made great achievements in the battlefield and is mighty, who lives in a completely different low-key way from the battlefield, never relies on his identity to seek private interests for himself, and does not enjoy special treatment because of his merits.
General Su Yu is one of China's best military experts, and how low-key he is in his life on the battlefield is as low-key as he once said to Ye Shuai: I am just a "millet" in the sea, and I am not worth worrying about.
