On this day 41 years ago, on February 5, 1984 (January 4, 1984 lunar calendar), Suyu, a senior general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, passed away. On February 5, 1984, Suyu, a former deputy minister of defense, passed away. Suyu, a native of Huitong County, Hunan Province. Joined the Communist Youth League of China in 1926 and transferred to the Communist Party of China in 1927. Participated in the Nanchang Uprising and the Hunan Uprising. During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, he served as the chief of staff of the Red Fourth Army and the commander of the Fujian and Zhejiang Military Regions, and persisted in the guerrilla war for three years. During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the deputy commander of the Second Detachment of the New Fourth Army, the commander of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Military Regions and a political commissar. During the Liberation War, he served as the deputy commander of the Central China Military Region and the deputy commander of the East China Field Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as Chief of General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Vice Minister of Defense, and Vice President of the Academy of Military Sciences.

Extended reading: Why did Su Yu, the Supreme Commander of the Liberation of Taiwan, finally give up attacking Taiwan? In 1949, Shanghai was liberated, and Su Yu was ordered to officially organize the invasion of Taiwan. The four-star general Su Yu spread out maps of the southeast coast, the Pacific Ocean, and the Far East on various scales, and studied and reviewed the artillery plan drawn up by the Fuzhou Military Region again. As a result, a powerful and accurate combat machine was officially launched and entered the ignition process. At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek has decided to counter-attack the mainland, and he has divided the last 300,000 troops into three major islands: Hainan, Taiwan, and Zhoushan. The strategic concept is perfect: to confront the mainland with islands, three points form a line, Hainan restrains Guangdong and Taiwan overlooking Fuxia and Zhoushan and locks Shanghai and Zhejiang. Retreat, you can rely on each other for horns; attack, you can start at the same time or highlight a certain point. Naturally, Su Yu was very cautious about Chiang Kai-shek's deployment. The more you divide your troops, the more conducive it is for me to break down each one. He once suggested to Mao Zedong that if necessary, you should consider not attacking Zhoushan, which is easier to attack, but attacking Taiwan, which is the hardest to attack. With Taiwan gone, the last problem of unifying China will be inevitable. In the face of Taiwan's 7 armies 140,000 panicked bow trip, Suyu initially planned to attack with more than 200,000 people in 8 armies. The plan is still in the process of being submitted for approval, and one of Suyu's attacking troops has started training to simulate cross-sea landings and combat in Taiwan's mountainous areas on the coast of Jiaodong, the Yangtze River Estuary and Tianmu Mountain. Unfortunately, the other party soon realized that the defense force of Taiwan's main island was too weak and the number of troops was limited, so they decided to recruit Japanese cannon fodder with heavy money. Soon, a Japanese mercenary army of more than 20,000 people went to Taiwan. The Japanese once again came to Taiwan, although it was not a replay of the whale swallow occupation 50 years ago, but it was amazing to cut the blood of the treasure island and the mainland with a samurai sword! The tenacity, ferocity, teamwork, and tactical excellence of the Japanese soldiers are well-known all over the world, which makes Suyu not use 1 = l when evaluating their combat effectiveness, but only use the equation of l Technologies 3 to calculate: if 20,000 Japanese soldiers are about equal to 60,000 Kuomintang soldiers, then 6 14 = 20, Taiwan's Kuomintang defense force should be regarded as a considerable 200,000 people. If so, the original plan of 8 armies to participate in the war is no longer enough, Suyu made a major modification to the battle determination for the first time, and the planned number of troops to attack Taiwan increased to 12 armies and more than 500,000 people. In May 1950, Shino launched the Hainan Campaign, annihilated the enemy 33,000, and captured the second largest island in the country. But because of the lack of naval and air conditions to fight, it was impossible to blockade various ports and airports, so Xue Yue led nearly 70,000 people to flee to Taiwan. At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek made perhaps the most difficult but also the most decisive decision in his military career: within three days, all the defenders of Zhoushan 120,000 were secretly withdrawn, and all troops were concentrated to ensure the Taiwan base. From the phenomenon, the three islands have lost two, and only the Taiwan-Peng Golden Horse remains in the jurisdiction, but Taiwan's military strength has doubled sharply, reaching 400,000 people, becoming a veritable hard walnut that is difficult to bite in one bite. Su Yu had to quickly issue instructions to his ministry: the enemy has concentrated about 400,000 of the army and its navy and air force to defend Taiwan, and the future battle against Taiwan will be more intense and cruel. The original preparation of 4 corps as the first echelon is no longer strong enough, and it needs to be increased to 6 corps. This is the second major revision of his campaign determination. At the end of June, intelligence also detected that Taiwan is stepping up to replenish its troops. It is estimated that its army can reach 500,000 when I launch an attack in the future, and the navy and air force have also been strengthened. So far, Su Yu has revised the campaign plan three times, and plans to participate in the battle with more than 16 corps. The problem is that it is easier to increase troops, but it is too difficult to increase ships. Su Yu pointed out that in order to ensure the victory of the battle, the first echelon 150,000 people must be landed within four or five hours, and a considerable number of ships of the second echelon must be transported. However, all the ships in hand are only enough to carry 4 reinforced divisions, which is half of the first echelon. It takes time to recruit ships, build ships and buy ships. There is no good plan, think again, and make up your mind to report to the Military Commission: Attack Taiwan needs further preparation. This battle is of great importance. If we are not absolutely sure about the attack on Taiwan, we should not easily launch an attack, but rather delay it for some time. Unexpectedly, the war here was at a stalemate, and as a result, the Korean War broke out suddenly, and Su Yu racked his brains to make a draft of the plan to attack Taiwan had to be shelved indefinitely. General Linhai sighed and regarded the failure to capture Taiwan as a lifelong regret!
