"If we study it carefully, we can find that the real reason is that the quality of the grassroots commanders of the two sides is far apart."

Fan Hongyu said with great certainty.

He has liked historical knowledge since he was a child, especially the famous monarchs in history, famous ministers and generals, although he is not well-read, but he has indeed read a lot of official history. And Fan Hongyu has a habit of "seeking solutions", always like to ask why.

Li Shimin's siege of Luoyang and the defeat of Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, at the Tiger Prison Pass were extremely wonderful chapters in his life's battles, and his superb command ability and command ability were vividly displayed, and his power and wisdom were all outstanding. Fan Hongyu has repeatedly studied the battle of Tiger Prison Pass.

Bao Ping'an smiled and said, "This is a relatively novel proposal. ”

As the head of the headquarters, Bao Ping'an naturally has been involved in the most famous battles in history.

The battle of Li Shimin and Dou Jiande in the Tiger Prison Pass was a classic example of winning more with less, capturing two kings in one battle, and shocking the world, and it was precisely the object of repeated study by many military experts. However, just as Fan Hongyu said, historians and military research experts have basically focused on the study of Li Shimin's superb wisdom and strategy, and few people have put forward the "decisive theory on the quality of grassroots commanders" like Fan Hongyu.

Old Man Bao leaned lightly on the sofa, looking directly at Fan Hongyu, and seemed to be quite concerned about this.

Fan Hongyu said: "Although Dou Jiande claims to be an army of 100,000, most of them are rabble, many of them are temporarily recruited peasants, and they have never been on the battlefield at all, and the overall quality of the troops is extremely low. Although Li Shimin had only 3,500 people. But they are all elite soldiers, especially what is important is that there are a large number of famous generals in his troops, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, and Cheng Zhijie. All in the military. On the battlefield, these people were very familiar with their units and were well trained. The formation changes very quickly, pointing to where to play. During the whole battle, it was always the Tang army that pressed the Dou army to fight. From beginning to end, Dou Jiande never launched a decent attack, and he couldn't even defend. The reason for this lies in the ineffective command. There are too many layers of command for him. An order was sent from his central army tent to the front, and the situation at the front had long since become unrecognizable. On the one hand, it is like an arm, and on the other hand, it is ineffective. No matter how many troops Dou Jiande has, it is useless. The more troops, the worse he lost. From this example, we can draw such a conclusion, no matter how clever the commander. No matter how clever the strategy, it must ultimately rely on first-class soldiers and first-class front-line commanders to implement it. Without Wei Chigong, Qin Shubao, and Cheng Zhijie, a large number of famous generals at that time led the army, and Li Shimin's strategy was refined. did not dare to counterattack Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with 3,000 soldiers and horses. Not to mention 100,000 soldiers, even if it is 100,000 pigs, on a battlefield of twenty or thirty miles, 3,000 people can't be caught in a day. ”

Bao Xing said with a smile: "100,000 people are easier to catch than 100,000 pigs." ”

Fan Hongyu also smiled and said, "That's the case." People will surrender. As soon as they surrender, they are a large group, let them stay there and do not move, then they will not dare to move. Pigs will not surrender. ”

Old Man Bao nodded slightly and said, "The truth is this. In the past, when we were fighting wars, commanders always approached the front line again and again, in order to grasp the situation on the front line at the first time and make the right decision. The closer the command organ is to the front line, the smoother the command. There are a lot of herald links in the middle. ”

Fan Hongyu smiled: "Grandpa Bao also has a lot of classic battle examples, which I have studied specially. ”

Old Man Bao laughed, then waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about my business, you continue to talk about your Tiger Prison Battle." ”

Having said that, it can be seen that the old man is in a very good mood, and his face is slightly proud.

During the war years, Old Man Bao was a famous victorious general, and the stubborn enemy was terrified, but he was a real hero who had experienced a hundred battles and was killed in a sea of corpses and blood.

"Yes. In fact, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass revealed a truth, that is, on the battlefield, whoever can grasp the information on the front line at the first time and convey the correct order at the first time will be able to win the victory in the end. With the more and more frequent use of modern high technology in warfare, the era of traditional famous generals will come to an end. In the era of cold weapons, relying on an excellent general to win a war will basically not be seen in the future. In future wars, satellites and reconnaissance planes will fly in the sky, there will be a battlefield microwave surveillance system on the ground, and the headquarters will have a powerful computer processing center, which will be able to instantly bring the front line closer to the eyes of the supreme commander. The pattern of war, as a result, has changed. For example, if two armies face off against each other, one side is a digital force and the other side is a traditional army, then the probability of victory for the digital force is much greater when the firepower of the troops is basically equal or one to two or even one to three. We can imagine that when a traditional unit discovers the enemy's situation, it needs to report it to the level at the level, and the company, battalion, regiment, and division level will report to the level, and the commander will make a decision based on the intelligence, and then the order will be transmitted at the level and level at the earliest, and it will take 20 or 30 minutes at the earliest. Digital troops are completely different, the top soldiers find the enemy's situation, through the satellite positioning system, can be fed back to the command center within a few seconds, and the command center makes a decision, and it only takes a few seconds to convey it to the front line. The comparison between the two is clear at a glance. By the time the traditional forces respond, the battle may be over. ”

Fan Hongyu said in one breath.

Old Man Bao and Bao Ping'an's eyebrows frowned slightly.

In particular, the old man is a famous general in the traditional sense, and many critical situations have relied on his personal unparalleled reaction speed and brave and tenacious command style to turn defeat into victory.

Now, Fan Hongyu asserts that the era of traditional famous generals is coming to an end.

"Then what do you think is the potential of an excellent general and an excellent commander in the future?"

After a while, Bao Ping'an asked slowly, and unconsciously, he seemed to have regarded Fan Hongyu as the object of equal dialogue. Of course, even if this is the case, it is temporary, Fan Hongyu is too young to hope that with a dialogue, he can completely change the entire perception of him by a powerful person like Bao Ping'an.

is as close as Qiu Mingshan, and after experiencing a lot of things, he has seen Fan Hongyu's ability more than once, so he gradually attaches importance to him and regards him as a talent that can be cultivated.

"Ability to lead and coordinate. The famous generals of the future will no longer be a think tank for strategizing and winning a decisive victory, but will play a more important role in the outstanding leadership of the entire team and the coordination of joint and coordinated operations of various services and arms. The most important role of a good commander is to make the entire war machine run at high speed and coordinate effectively. Like Eisenhower. In a big battle like the Normandy landings, the use of strategy is no longer the main thing. All he had to do was organize the Allies and send them safely across the English Channel. Throughout World War II, there was no battle that fully demonstrated Eisenhower's strategy, but his leadership and coordination skills played a crucial role. The brilliance of Patton, Rommel, Montgomery and other famous generals could not hide him, but became his foil. World War II was the only one who became the president of the United States. ”

"So, now the United States has been exploring the construction of digital troops. In this area, we are a lot behind. Of course, this is also closely related to the level of scientific and technological development of the two countries. They have so many satellites than we do, and the Internet has already begun to take off. Computer technology is the key to building a digitized army. We can't compare with this piece. But if you don't catch up, you can't do it, otherwise you will have to pull farther and farther. If their digital forces mature and we are still above the level of traditional armies, the gap will become very obvious. In future wars, large-scale army duels should rarely occur, and they will all appear in small-scale and high-intensity situations. For example, last year's US air raid on Libya's Operation Golden Canyon fully demonstrated the power of joint operations by high-tech troops. Although Libya has Soviet-made anti-aircraft missiles, it can only be completely in a situation of being passively attacked, and has no ability to fight back at all. Of course, Libya is a small country with no strategic depth to speak of. However, this air raid also indicates a direction for future local wars. Grandpa Bao, Uncle Bao, please forgive me, in the future, it is probably unrealistic to rely on a large-scale decisive battle to decide the victory or defeat between the great powers. The game between major powers is more embodied in this kind of small-scale and high-intensity intervention operations. Once the construction of the digital force is completed, the US military will change the strategy of global presence to global deployment. It is safe to say that if a local war breaks out in the next few years and the US military participates, they will gradually demonstrate the strength of such high-tech troops and high-tech weapons. ”

Fan Hongyu said it very bluntly, but he turned his head and glanced at Baoxing beside him. Naturally, he hoped that Baoxing would be able to absorb this knowledge, integrate it, and express his own opinions.

At this stage, the reform and opening up in the economic field has been in full swing, and perhaps in the next few years, because of the differences in the ruling philosophy of the superpowers, this process will be partially repeated, but the general trend is unstoppable, and the pace of reform and opening up, on the whole, will only get faster and deeper.

However, the reform of the armed forces is far from keeping up with the trend of the times. In the military, there is still a general mentality of "winning a decisive victory by the Continental Army." There is a lack of intuitive understanding of the enormous power of high-tech weapons, high-tech soldiers. The outbreak of several local wars in the next few years will have a tremendous impact on this concept and trigger military reform.

However, if such an idea can be put forward right now, it can at least seize the opportunity and give those in power a wake-up call. Even if it's just a shout, it's better than silence.
