"Let me introduce it!" Commander Zhang grabbed the microphone and said, "This is Comrade Yang Xuefeng... I won't say much about his deeds. The former company commander of the Second Hero Company is a hero who has been on newspapers and TV.
Second Company... Comrade Yang Xuefeng is now the battalion commander of the Synthetic Battalion... What I want to add is... Battalion Commander Yang is the pioneer of our military region's reform. He has many views and ideas that are very special and novel, but very consistent
Our army needs to reform, so... I want to ask him to express his opinion on my behalf!"
"Wow" a piece of applause quickly sounded, and then a female soldier came up and handed the microphone to me.
"This..." When I took the microphone, I admitted that I was a little nervous, because by this time I already knew that the commander of the division, commander, and commander were at this meeting. I was afraid that there were fewer regiment commanders here.
...So the aura is indeed a little different, and I feel like I am a different person.
"Hello, all the leaders!" I said, "I am a rough man... I can't tell any big truth except how to fight..."
"Just say it!" Commander Zhang smiled and said, "What we are talking about today is fighting, not talking about the big truth! Everyone who sits here has been soldiers and likes to be cheerful... Just don't let your mother-in-law and mother!"
"I'm talking about Lao Zhang!" The officer sitting next to Commander Zhang interrupted, "I just said something and I'll interrupt you, so I can't say it!"
With a "coax!", all the cadres in the venue laughed out loud.
Somehow, I felt much more relaxed when I was laughed at. I thought we had walked off the battlefield at least, and we were not afraid of the enemy's guns... Is there still a stage fright in a meeting here?
So he raised his chest and said, "Dear leaders, my idea is this... It's not impossible to lure the enemy deep. It is indeed very likely to be a protracted war, but I don't think we will gain a advantage in a protracted war!
”
As soon as I said this, there was a burst of discussion in the venue.
"Tell me why?" asked an officer.
"When we used to use protracted war, we fought against the little Japan!" I said: "Japan is a country with extremely shortage of resources, and it is also a small country. They cannot afford to consume resources or delay... So use It is right to fight Japan in a protracted war. But we are now facing the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is a big country with rich resources and sufficient population. It is much more developed than my country in both economic and military affairs, and it is fully capable of fighting a protracted war! ”
Several officers nodded frequently and whispered: "There is some reason, the opponents are different. We fought against Japan for eight years... Now the Soviet Union is much stronger than Japan for small, so it is not enough to fight a protracted war.
Have you been fighting for decades? At that time, we are afraid that the enemy will not collapse, so we will collapse first!"
Of course this makes sense. You should know that the Soviet Union was able to compete with the United States at this time, and it was the Soviet Union who attacked and defended the United States. At the same time, the facts also proved that the Soviet Union was indirectly and directly involved in the war in the two battlefields of Vietnam and Afghanistan.
I can hold on for ten years next time.
Of course, if China joins in and fights a protracted war with the Soviet Union... the Soviet Union may not be able to hold on for ten years, but the Soviet Union is not a fool. If it has launched a protracted war with China, a big country, the investment in Afghanistan will naturally be reduced
.
"On the contrary, the situation in China is not very suitable for a protracted war..." I continued: "First of all, the protracted war is the comprehensive national strength, and the comparison is to see who can persevere to the end. In this regard, China is obviously not as good as the Soviet Union.
Secondly...I believe that if the Soviet Union wanted to attack our country, our country would not only be attacked on both sides, but should be attacked on three sides..."
"There is another side of the sea!" The cadre, known as Commander Huang, agreed.
"Yes!" I said: "When Japan attacked our country, it used its navy to block our coast, so that the aid of other countries to our country was basically interrupted. Now if the Soviet Union wanted to attack our country, the Soviet Navy would obviously be better than that of the Soviet Union.
Our army is strong... Then of course they will use the navy to block our maritime traffic and attack our coastal cities, while our politics, economy, industry... are all concentrated in the north and coastal areas... If we adopt the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, it will undoubtedly be
I handed over my economic lifeline and important foundation to the enemy! On the contrary, the Soviet Union did not have this problem, so the war was likely to develop into a situation where the Soviet Union became stronger and stronger while we were fighting harder and weaker!
”
With a "coaxing", the venue immediately became chaotic as soon as I finished speaking, and everyone was whispering to the words I just said.
After a while, Commander Zhang nodded and said, "The situation is different now. If we use luring the enemy into depth, the consequences will be unimaginable...
First, the enemy quickly occupied our strategic location, which was not conducive to maintaining national confidence and morale;
Secondly, it will easily lead the enemy to occupy coastal cities and political and industrial centers...it will greatly weaken and paralyze our country's war resources and potential, which will be unfavorable to protracted warfare. These resources will even be owned by the enemy, causing our army to fall into a greater passiveness.
Third, when our army retreats to the hinterland to fight, the strength contrast between the strong enemy and the weak will be more obvious, which will increase the risk of the rapid deterioration of the battle situation!"
"Commander Zhang!" Commander Huang expressed his objection: "You must know that the current situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak. If we do not lure the enemy into the depths and do not give up on the north and coasts... would we still fight to the death with the Soviet army? Such a result will only make the Soviet army.
I will annihilate my vital power at the fastest speed, and then the north and coastal areas will have to give up!"
It should be said that the officer's analysis is also reasonable... because the facts are in front of us. The Soviet Union is much stronger than us in terms of equipment, strength and quality. So if we stick to it... the result is that the troops will be wiped out one by one,
In the end, the political center or economic lifeline still has to be given up!
"Commander Huang is right!" Some officers agreed with Commander Huang and said: "Battleman Commander Yang's analysis is indeed reasonable... Inducing the enemy to go deeper will cause great losses to our country, and may even cause our economy to regress for decades... But
War always comes at a price. Instead of throwing all the troops to the border and letting the enemy eat it, it is better to preserve the vitality and deal with the enemy... Our army has a tradition of fighting protracted wars. After eight years of fighting Japan, we will be able to do so.
In addition, there have been eleven years of fighting the Kuomintang, and the fight against the U.S. aggression and aid Korea also fought for a protracted war... This is our strength! We will compete with the enemy for perseverance and compete for spirit!"
So there was another debate in the venue, some of them agreed to lure the enemy into the depths, some of them opposed it... It was a struggle!
Actually, I know... Although the officers know that there are many shortcomings in luring the enemy into depth, they are still using it. Part of the reason is that there is no better strategy, so they cannot do it. Part of the reason... It is because
This strategy is the tradition of our army, and it has been tested by practice to defeat opponents again and again on the battlefield in the past with weak defeats the strong.
"Battleman Yang!" Commander Huang asked: "If you think it's not possible to lure the enemy deeper... then do you have a better way!"
I was a little embarrassed when I said this, but fortunately, I am a modern person and know much more than these cadres... What is more important is that some of the things I know are correct and started to be implemented after repeated argumentation.
.
So I said, "First of all, we need to consider... whether we can trade with other countries when the coastline is blocked by the enemy... When we were young, there were so many anti-fascist countries in the world.
Support us, but their support was unable to be transported to us because the coastline was blocked by the Japanese army... Among them, we did open a China-Myanmar highway, but the transportation volume was pitifully small, and it was easy to be
The enemy's air force blockade. In the past, Japan could do this, the current Soviet Union could do this, and any of our enemies could do this in the future... So, in the long run, we must open up a relatively safe, reliable and transportable
A big and not easy to block the passage!”
"This passage is already there!" Commander Zhang said: "It's the China-Pakistan Highway... You are right. We have considered this before, so we just completed this road last year!"
"Oh!" I nodded.
Actually, what I am talking about is the China-Pakistan Highway. Pakistan is a friendly country of China. It is built such a highway to lead to Pakistan, and then the other end of Pakistan is the Indian Ocean... So it is very difficult for the enemy country to block it.
Of course, highways are far from enough... Its transportation volume cannot meet the combat needs of a million troops, so it is only in modern times that railways and oil pipelines must be built.
"It's much easier to do with such a passage!" I said: "My idea is... The current situation in China and the Soviet Union is the Soviet Union's raid, and our army defends... The advantage of the raid is that it has a proactive position in strategy.
Its military strength and military technology are well prepared and can be carried out well. From our perspective... Although we are prepared for anti-aggression, our army's command system, communication facilities, transportation hubs, etc. will inevitably be
The situation of the enemy being strong and we are weak is very obvious at this time. But defense also has the advantage of defense. In defense... we can use a small number of troops to restrain a large number of enemies, making it difficult for the enemy to move forward
Promotion or advancement is slow... that is, using positional warfare, mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare and other means to stop the enemy from entering the wartime system, and gain enough time to cover the country's transfer into the wartime system...such as national mobilization, expansion of troops, factory relocation, etc., and
At the same time, we will vigorously open up transportation channels in the rear so that we can have the conditions and foundation to engage in a protracted battle with the enemy!"
All the cadres were silent when they heard this. This method was obviously better than luring the enemy into depth or sticking to it! (To be continued.)
