Regarding the Korean War, the Chinese believe that if Lin Biao or Su Yu directs the war, the Korean War will achieve greater results. The Fourth Field Army led by Lin Biao fought from northeast China to Hainan Island. At that time, it was China's most powerful field force. Su Yu was the general who made the most achievements in the War of Liberation.
