Xue Yue is indeed the commander of the first campaign of the National Army, but after watching his several campaigns, we can find that his tactics are relatively dull and he is better at core mobile tactics.
His famous work is The Battle of Changsha. In fact, his tactic is that the peripheral forces retreat to the periphery with the anti-eight characters after receiving the enemy, and stick to the main points with strong forces. After other divisions and soldiers were tired, the peripheral troops turned around.
He used similar tactics in Hainan Island in the future. But in mobile warfare, Xue Yue's performance is average, including the previous Lankao campaign and Wuhan campaign, which can only be said to be average. In the offensive war, what he is best at is to be steady and steady in the case of military superiority.
Su Yu, on the other hand, played a tactic similar to Xue Yue's, that is, the decisive battle of Huangqiao, but with more flexibility. Tao Yong held fast to the Yellow Bridge and resisted the 89th Army. Ye Fei, the main force, single-handedly solved the 6th Brigade, and then retaliated against the 89th Army. More flexible than Xue Yue's passive play.
In mobile warfare, Su Yu's masterpiece is the Battle of Eastern Henan. At that time, the Yellow Corps on the periphery suddenly went to war, while the Su Yu Army's Shounian Corps panicked in Europe, and there were Qiu Qingquan Corps and Corps on the periphery. The slightest carelessness will be surrounded.
At this point, Su Yu decisively abandoned the remaining enemy, stormed the Yellow River, and decisively retreated when the other side could not understand its intentions, turning passivity into initiative, which was a classic mobile warfare.
Generally speaking, Su Yu is more talented.
