There have been countless famous generals in the history of our army, among which there is such a person, as soon as he is mentioned, the evaluation that comes one after another is: tiger general, can fight and can fight, and has a hot temper.
It seems that many people in the Communist army are in line with it, but the one who really takes these three labels to the extreme is none other than General Xu Shiyou.
Xu Shiyou also left a deep impression on future generations, that is, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and loves to fight and tell the truth.
So, is there anyone who can "suppress" this fierce general by the No. 1 commander of the four famous field armies of our army?
Before reading this article, I sincerely invite you to click "Follow", which is not only convenient for you to discuss and share, but also brings you a different sense of participation, thank you for your support.
Absolute prestige crushing
Xu Shiyou belongs to the East China Field Army, that is, the Third Field Army, let's put aside the three fields first, let's take a look at the leaders of several other field armies.
The commander-in-chief of Ichino is Peng Dehuai.
Mr. Peng had a very high prestige in the army, and most of the battles during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were commanded by him with full authority, and he was also the decision-maker of most things on the battlefield, while Commander-in-Chief Zhu sat in the central government with Chairman Mao to preside over the overall situation.
There is very little intersection between Xu Shiyou and Mr. Peng, but Mr. Peng, as the commander-in-chief of the entire Eighth Route Army, and the reputation accumulated over the years, it must be difficult for Xu Shiyou to be convinced.
Moreover, when resisting US aggression and aiding Korea later, a group of arrogant soldiers in Siye were all obedient when they saw Mr. Peng, and a group of people could be calm, and it was naturally not a problem to get a Xu Shiyou.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Peng has the absolute ability to command all the combat units that can be commanded, and his position is unquestionable and cannot be shaken.
Let's talk about Liu Bocheng, commander-in-chief of Erye. The command ability of this "god of war" can be seen from his nickname.
In the early days of the revolution, due to their different combat missions, Xu Shiyou and Liu Bocheng had relatively little communication, and after the Long March, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
In his later years, in the face of some things about Liu Bocheng, Xu Shiyou also spoke for him and went to visit him many times.
Taking 10,000 steps back, Xu Shiyou once encountered a revolutionary trough, and when he resumed military work again, he served as the deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, and Liu Bocheng was the commander of the 129th Division.
Therefore, Liu Bocheng must also have the ability to suppress Xu Shiyou.
Next is Siye, when it comes to Siye's troops, even ordinary people who are not military fans can say something.
Siye's reputation is very loud in the mainland, all the way from the northeast to Hainan, countless tough battles large and small, and the reputation is fought little by little.
Lin Biao has extremely strict requirements for his subordinates, and has never been based on human feelings.
If Xu Shiyou's personality meets Lin Biao, there may be contradictions. But with political commissar Luo Ronghuan here, they will be able to play an exponential value.
The worst result will not appear, with Xu Shiyou's party spirit and military duty, even if he is puzzled, he will carry out military orders without discount.
And in the end, he will still be impressed by Lin Biao's proud record.
Why?
Xu Shiyou is in Sanye
General Xu Shiyou gave people the impression of being hot-tempered, and he still had to start with Sanye.
Since Su Yu led the Central China Field Army and Xu Shiyou's Shandong Field Army was reorganized into the East China Field Army, Xu Shiyou had the idea of comparing with Su Yu.
In terms of background, Xu Shiyou is a big boss, with many years of experience and good kung fu to fight the world, while Su Yu was born in a scholarly family, although he is a Confucian general in our army.
Since their backgrounds are very different, they can compare their records.
Su Yu had a record of seven victories in seven battles between the Soviet Union and China, and after the merger of the two field armies, his position was higher than that of Xu Shiyou.
In the Battle of Menglianggu, Su Yu judged the situation and constantly adjusted the formation to encircle and suppress Zhang Lingfu, causing him to change his order and ask Xu Shiyou's Nine Columns to go back and forth between several points.
Later, even if Su Yu fought so beautifully in the Battle of Menglianggu, Xu Shiyou was not completely convinced.
During the Battle of Jinan, Xu Shiyou repeatedly told the central government that Jinan was not easy to fight and wanted to change a set of tactics.
Su Yu proposed that he would go south to contain the reinforcements from Xuzhou, and when the whole Jinan was released to Xu Shiyou to command, Xu Shiyou immediately went out of the mountain to command Jinan
However, what followed was the Great Huaihai Battle, which was put in the textbooks of the whole world.
Su Yu used his super command ability and extreme force operation ability to completely conquer Xu Shiyou. After that, Xu Shiyou mentioned Su Yu again, and he was always polite.
When you are a soldier, you still have to speak with your military achievements.
Whether it is Chen Yi, the commander-in-chief of Sanye, or Su Yu, who is actually in command, they all have the ability to deal with this fierce general in the end.
Although Xu Shiyou has many legends, saying that he was rebellious and so on, we must know that he resolutely carried out orders and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and there is no doubt that he was an outstanding military commander
The "No. 1 Chief" of the four major field armies all have absolute prestige, and there is no doubt that they can suppress this fierce general.
