Hu Weidong immediately invited him to serve as deputy commander of the 15 th Red Army and concurrently as chief of staff of the army, while he still held the post of commander of the advance division. After the advance division joined the 15 th Red Army, Hu Weidong fine-tuned the troop establishment, merging the 1st Independent Division and the 2nd Independent Division and restoring the original independent division, while the 3rd Independent Division was merged into the Advance Division. The strength of the three divisions was around 30,000, and the army headquarters had a total of 100,000 troops. A division commander with 30,000 men. The real power is equivalent to the commander of the main army of the Red Army, if ordinary people are not happy to die? But to Hu Weidong's surprise, Su Yu said that he had no experience in commanding large troops, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do a good job

"That's too honest, isn't it? If I didn't know the later history, I would have thought that he was pretending, alas, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and a person who has no desires and desires is easy to attract misunderstanding by others. Hu Weidong sighed slightly in his heart, and then solemnly persuaded, "Comrade Su Yu, being too modest is hypocrisy, you have no experience in commanding a large army, but when I first pulled up the team, I was even more inexperienced than you are now!" Now that the revolutionary cause is at a low ebb, and many positions are in urgent need of talents, it doesn't matter whether you are competent or not, as long as there is no candidate better than you, then you should bravely stand up and accept the test of the Central Committee and the chairman! ”

Su Yu was deeply shocked when he heard this, so he accepted Hu Weidong's appointment, but he still insisted that he was only a temporary replacement, and he would wait until he would make achievements in the future and then turn positive, Hu Weidong thought about it and agreed, after all, even though Su Yu was the chief of staff of the Red Tenth Army, but the army of only more than 10,000 people in its heyday Although it was a corps, in fact, the strength was not as much as one division of the current Red 15th Army, and it was good to go step by step

Although he was very modest when he was promoted, when it came to military affairs, Su Yu unconsciously revealed the arrogance and courage of a famous general, and after understanding the general strength of the Red 15th Army, he quickly drafted an operational jihua and handed it over to the Red 15th Army Command for discussion, hoping to carry out a major annihilation battle and kill all the Zhao Guantao Eighth Army, which had been staring at the advancing division for several months

"This is an army, I'm afraid there are more than 30,000 troops, and the equipment is good, I'm afraid it's not so easy to annihilate them all, right? Is it more secure to encircle three and one to strike a rout? Hu Weidong couldn't help but hesitate.

"Our 15 th Army is three times the strength of the Eighth Army of the White Army, and its tactical level, firepower intensity, and quality of officers and men are also above them. In fact, as long as the Tenth Army had sufficient ammunition back then, it would not have folded in the hands of this kind of goods, and now this kind of bullet was unthinkable even if it was fought before! Su Yu said with emotion.

For Su Yu's proposal, Hu Weidong couldn't help but feel a little moved, since the 15th Army started its army, has eliminated a lot of enemies, but the whole annihilation of an entire army has really not been done, once succeeded, it is estimated that Lao Chiang can only give up the encirclement and suppression of the Soviet area for the time being, you must know that in fact, several anti-encirclement and suppression in those years basically only need to destroy a few divisions of the enemy, and the national army has to retreat, after all, Lao Chiang still needs enough strength to suppress the local warlords, if the loss is too great, he can not bear it. The Red 15th Army has wiped out more than 100,000 troops in the past few months, and if it weren't for the fact that Lao Jiang is far better than before, I am afraid that he would not have been able to hold on for a long time

Since he is not from a professional background, Su Yu's battle jihua book is not very detailed, but in the rapidly changing battlefield, perhaps it is this kind of seemingly rough arrangement that gives the combat troops a greater degree of freedom to win the victory, right? However, Hu Weidong still cautiously asked, "If you don't play well, then what will happen?" ”…,

"Even if it is not fought well, at most it will allow some of the enemy to escape, and with Zhao Guantao's troops, even if it is a head-on battle, it is far from our opponent." , Su Yu replied confidently.

"Then let's fight!" , Hu Weidong slammed the table and said in a deep voice. Because Hu Weidong himself was not good at commanding a large corps, and in order to let Su Yu establish prestige in the army, Hu Weidong handed over the command of this battle to Su Yu, and solemnly announced to all the generals, including Ye Fei, that "the order of the deputy army commander is my order", which made Su Yu not only grateful, but also deeply feel the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Although the Red 15th Army has a great reputation, Zhao Guantao has more than 30,000 people in an army, and has just been promoted to lieutenant general because of the almost complete annihilation of the Red Tenth Army (only Su Yu and other more than 1,000 people successfully broke through), and captured Fang Zhimin and other senior cadres of the Red Party. In addition, Liu Zhi, a waste, exaggerated the casualties of the Red 15th Army in order to cover up his incompetence, and Zhao Guantao thought that the Red 15th Army had been disabled, so he was naturally full of confidence. After the Red Army successively ate the bandit suppression squad sent by the Eighth Army with battalion-level units, Zhao Guantao realized that it was probably the legendary Red Army that had joined up with those whom he had been pursuing, and immediately ordered the front line to shrink its forces, requiring his subordinates to act alone at least at the regimental level, but even so, the regiment that rushed to the forefront was still surrounded by the main force of the Red 15th Army and was completely annihilated.

In order to confuse the enemy, the Red 15 th Army sent more than 30,000 troops in this battle, but basically did not use any artillery and automatic weapons, which created a false impression for Zhao Guantao that "the main forces of the Red Bandits are all there, and the equipment is average, and it is very easy to deal with", so this guy immediately rushed to chase after the main force of the Eighth Army that had been assembled, but as a result, he fell into the encirclement of more than 60,000 people in two divisions of the Red 15 th Army

At this time, the commanders and fighters of the Red 15th Army finally no longer retained their strength, and the artillery and machine guns were fired at all power, making the Eighth Army cry and cry for their mothers, but to Hu Weidong's surprise, it was the bayonets that finally broke the enemy's morale. When all the commanders and fighters of the 3rd Brigade and 3rd Regiment of the Independent Division, which was responsible for the main attack, rushed into the enemy's position with their bright bayonets, the enemy, who had been able to hide in the trenches dug out urgently, and the Red Army soldiers caught more than 20,000 prisoners who were still alive and kicking like ducks
