A war of attrition is a war with the purpose of consuming the enemy's troops, weapons and other war material forces.
Relative to the war of annihilation.
The purpose is to continuously weaken the enemy's strength so as to facilitate the final victory over the enemy.
There are strategic wars of attrition and operational wars of attrition.
Strategic war of attrition is a policy often adopted by a weak party when dealing with a strong enemy.
It must be organically combined with the campaign, combat, and annihilation warfare. In addition to relying mainly on the campaign, combat, and annihilation warfare, it must also be assisted by the campaign, combat, and attrition warfare.
Some of the battles, battles, and wars of attrition are carried out in conjunction with the battles, battles, and annihilation wars, while others are simply wars of attrition.
The former is not only an integral part of the war of annihilation, but also an important condition for realizing the annihilation of the enemy.
For example, in the annihilation war, the defensive warfare that serves as a support task and the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines that performs the mission of destroying the enemy are both directly assisting the annihilation war.
The early war of attrition can prepare for the subsequent war of annihilation, and the war of attrition in the secondary direction is the guarantee for the war of annihilation in the main direction.
Usually, mobile warfare performs the task of annihilation, while positional defense warfare performs the task of attrition.
In all situations that are not conducive to the execution of a war of annihilation and require a war of attrition, we should strive to avoid fighting a war of attrition in which the losses are outweighed or the losses are equal, and the enemy should be consumed in large quantities at a relatively small cost.
This refers to the meaning of war of attrition in modern warfare, but war of attrition has another meaning.
When the two sides are evenly matched and it is temporarily impossible to tell the winner, they will compete with each other. Whoever consumes more power will lose if they cannot persist in the end.
This is a war that can only be carried out under special circumstances.
At this time, the war between the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance and the Imperial Alliance has fallen into such a situation.
The Imperial Alliance has adequate defense, but insufficient offense. They can only rely on the Golden Great Wall to withstand the attack of the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance.
In terms of strength, the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance army surpasses the Imperial Alliance, but due to the existence of the Golden Great Wall, the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance army has no way to defeat the Imperial Alliance.
At this time, we can only fight for consumption, there is no other way.
"At this time, it seems that the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance wants to compete with us."
At this time, three months had passed. Li Shuyuan stood on the Golden Great Wall and said to the end of Tang Dynasty.
For three months, the North American Federation's novice lord alliance troops continued their attacks and made huge sacrifices.
But the results they achieved are also very obvious, at the cost of the death of countless soldiers, consuming the resources and treasures of the Imperial Alliance, and consuming the foundation and strength of the Imperial Alliance.
In this process, although the Imperial Alliance has the existence of the Golden Great Wall, there are still some losses.
This kind of attack has not stopped for three months. Li Shuyuan and other senior leaders of the Imperial Alliance quickly understood the ideas of the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance and others.
The top leaders of these North American Federation novice lord alliances obviously want to compete with the Imperial Alliance for consumption.
"The top leaders of the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance are not simple. Spending money may be their only way to break through the Golden Great Wall. Otherwise, they would not be able to break through the Golden Great Wall. This is a very wise decision."
Tang Mo agreed very much with the approach of the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance. If he was in the position of the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance, with the strength of the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance at this time, this method would be the only way.
"It feels like the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance is in a hurry, but actually they don't need to be in a hurry."
Li Shuyuan said: "If the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance does not take the initiative to attack us, we will not dare to take the initiative to attack the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance camp where all the strength is gathered at this time.
If that's the case, the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance may be able to delay us until we take the initiative."
"If it were in the normal world outside, what you said is indeed correct. The North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance is stronger than us and can definitely take the initiative.
But this is a bloody battle space, have you forgotten the existence of the poisonous circle?"
Tang Mo said nonchalantly: "We are the first to find the core of the bloody battle space and occupy the core of the bloody battle space.
In other words, we are at the core of the bloody space at this time, the last place where the poisonous circle reaches.
If the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance does not attack us, we will be destroyed.
When the poisonous circle reaches them, they will definitely die in front of us. At that time, we can directly wait for them to be killed by the poisonous circle, thereby winning the bloody battle.
In this case, does the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance have any other options?
At this time, there are not many choices for the novice lords of the North American Federation. They can either wait to be killed by the poisonous circle, or they can make a desperate move and fight us.
No matter how much we consume and how many deaths we have, we will not hesitate to kill us before the poisonous circle reaches them, otherwise they will definitely die.
At that time, we don't need to take action at all, and they will lose the bloody battle."
At the end of Tang Dynasty, he understood very well why the North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance would launch an uninterrupted attack on the Golden Great Wall at all costs, even if they fought against the Imperial Alliance.
All this is because of the emergence of the poisonous circle.
The place occupied by the Imperial Alliance and others at the end of the Tang Dynasty was at the core of the bloody battle space, where the poisonous circle finally reached.
The North American Federation Novice Lords Alliance's army is different. It is located on the periphery of the bloody battle space and is the first to be attacked and affected by the poisonous circle.
If they cannot break through the Golden Great Wall before the poisonous circle affects them, then they will have no choice but to wait for death.
When the poisonous circle shrinks to a certain extent, they will be killed by the poisonous circle. At that time, there will be no need for the Imperial Alliance to take action, and the Imperial Alliance will be able to win the bloody battle.
After hearing what Tang Mo said, Li Shuyuan suddenly understood. He said: "I almost forgot the existence of the poisonous circle.
Brother Mo, you are so thoughtful, but I don’t know if we chose to set up camp at the core of the bloody battle space. Brother Mo, you have already planned it.”
"Be prepared for a rainy day. In the past three thousand years, we have studied a lot about the rules of bloody battles. Finally, we found that it is advantageous for us to occupy the core position of the bloody battle space first.
It just so happens that I have a special building like the Golden Great Wall, which makes the conditions for us to occupy the core position of the bloody battle space more favorable.
That’s why I chose to set up camp here. Although I didn’t deliberately plan it, I also considered it.”
There was no sense of pride in the late Tang Dynasty, as if these were nothing to the late Tang Dynasty.
For the late Tang Dynasty, this calculation was nothing.
Three thousand years of bloody battles in space and time, the end of the Tang Dynasty was not in vain. During these three thousand years, in addition to practicing, upgrading, etc. to improve his cultivation strength, the end of the Tang Dynasty also spent time learning various strategies, politics, commanders, etc.
Skills.
Therefore, for the late Tang Dynasty, strategies came easily. The most important thing is that with three thousand years of continuous learning and experience, not only did the late Tang Dynasty's strength greatly increase, but its knowledge and mentality also became stronger and broader. And he himself has become more mature.
