Su Xun of the Song Dynasty said in "Xin Shu": ""Mountain Tai collapses in front but its color remains unchanged; the elk thrives on the left but its eyes do not blink." It is said that Su Xun's words were attributed to General Su Yu My favorite quote. Because the collapse of Mount Tai was earth-shattering and the movements of deer and elk were so fast, but for a truly famous general, these were not enough to disturb his mind and composure. Su Yu remained calm in the Battle of Laiwu. That's right. In the face of the complex and changing enemy situation, he should be calm and adapt in time, but should not be resolute. It can be said that it was Su Yu's persistence that played a crucial role in the victory of the Laiwu Battle. On February 10, 1947, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, Chen Yi and Su Yu made the final battle decision: to leave the 2nd and 3rd columns on the Linyi front line, pretending to be the main force of Huaye to confront the enemy's southern line group, so as to confuse the enemy; The 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th columns went north to encircle and annihilate the Li Xianzhou Group. The north and south lines were 150 kilometers apart, and it took several days for hundreds of thousands of troops to move northward in a covert manner to reach the scheduled assembly area on February 15. That night, Wang Yaowu, commander of the Second Sui District of the ***, "discovered that our troops were moving northwest from the county at their own expense. At the same time, because its southern troops quickly entered Linyi, it is estimated that our main force will shift direction." Wang Yaowu judged that I might go north to annihilate the Li Xianzhou Group, and immediately " "Adjust deployment and retreat across the board": " "The enemy's 46th Army withdrew from Xintai to the Yanzhuang area; the Li Xianzhou headquarters and the 15th and 193rd Divisions of the 73rd Army withdrew from Yanzhuang to the Laiwu area; the 12th Army's The newly formed 36th Division withdrew from Mengyin Village and the North and South Division Stores to the Kou Town and Shangyouzhuang lines, and came under the command of the 73rd Army; the 12th Army led the 111th Division and the 112th Division to move north to the Jiaoji Line to serve as Zhangdian, "Guarding on the front line of Mingshui". Su Yu and the commanders of each column were closely watching the enemy's movements. The enemy suddenly retreated, and many column leaders were worried that they would not be able to catch the enemy, so they suggested Su Yu to attack in advance, thinking that even if they could not catch all the enemy , you can also eat the enemy's "tail". Su Yu carefully studied this suggestion. He believed: Our main force has not yet fully reached the scheduled assembly position, and cannot yet achieve a battle encirclement. A hasty attack is likely to drive the enemy away On the contrary, if I continue to assemble the main force in a concealed manner without alerting the enemy too early, it may make the enemy hesitate and make it more difficult to determine our army's intentions. At least we can catch the enemy on Jiaoji Road." Based on these considerations, Su Yu insisted on his original determination and did not adopt the suggestion of attacking in advance. Su Yu ordered all troops to speed up the covert advance and complete the encirclement of the enemy as soon as possible. At this time , Su Yu's various "showing" strategies of hiding the truth and concealing the truth, turning the "Southern Expedition" into the "Northern War" began to work. Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng fell into the trap, thinking that Chen and Su's armies "" "The defeated division has nothing to worry about" and Wang Yaowu was strictly ordered to continue going south. Wang Yaowu had no choice but to "restore the previous situation" and ordered Li Xianzhou to continue to lead his troops south and join forces with the enemy forces on the southern front to attack our army. On February 20, the Laiwu Campaign was launched. . After three days of fierce fighting, the Communist Party of China annihilated more than 56,000 enemy troops from one advance headquarters of the Appeasement District, two military headquarters, and seven divisions. They captured alive 17 generals under Li Xianzhou, deputy commander of the Second Sui District, and beat one. An unprecedented victory since the beginning of the Liberation War. After the war, Su Yu said in summary, "Fortunately, we did not agree to attack in advance. Otherwise, once the troops stretched out, it would be difficult to eliminate the more than 50,000 enemies." ” (Shuaike Pindu: Insist on originality, objectivity, and fairness.
