54 movement warfare, the countryside surrounded the city
"Sir, a group of officers and soldiers have come from Sanjia Village, and the number is about five hundred. There were nearly one hundred and fifty cavalry. "Xiaodouzi found Shangwu and reported such news.
"Cavalry?" Shangwu asked. For cavalry, he has a very keen feeling, and in the period of cold weapon combat, the advantage of cavalry is quite large, and there is no cavalry. The infantry was easily cornered, and the Shangwu now waged guerrilla warfare because they lacked considerable cavalry to gain a frontal advantage. The assault capabilities of the cavalry far exceeded those of the infantry.
"Yes, sir, cavalry, I have sent someone to keep a close eye on the situation. But the other party didn't seem to be unaware of our presence, and they all rested in Sanjia Village. Little Beans reported.
"Hmm. Keep an eye on it. Shang Wu originally wanted to eat the other party's, but, considering the particularity of Sanjia Village, Shang Wu felt that he should think about it carefully.
"Yes, sir." Little Beanzi said and left the arrangement. Sanjia Village is not far from here, and there are cavalry on the other side, which can attack in the blink of an eye. Shang Wu was still thinking about how to eat the other party.
Before the evening meeting, Shang Wu didn't know what to say, he was attracted a lot of attention by the hundred and fifty cavalry, but none of his men noticed the anomaly of his commander.
"With that fried noodle biscuit, I don't think we'll have to go hungry again. Now, I can't wait for all my people to do it and make all the food into biscuits. I've been eating him for years. "Seven Elder Valleys. The natal name is Wang Gu. It's a farmer. He has a unique affection for food. Especially if the food is spoiled, he will eat it. This is the kind of person who, knowing that a food can be preserved for a year, has to swear that he can eat such a food every day, why, he can eat enough.
"I look at your backpack, don't pretend to be ***. Just pack the biscuits. Kuroko laughed. The others thought of it this way, and the commander gave them backpacks, satchels, and riding jackets, which gave them a uniform attire. This made a lot of people happy for a while.
"This backpack or something, I think, nothing is the most important thing, shoes, I think, the shoes that the chief made for us, are good, very suitable, and don't hurt our feet. The last time I ran, there was a big rock on my thumb. It hurts. It hurts me for days. With shoes like this, I'm not afraid, and if you see it, there are still nails underneath. Kuroko said ostentatiously.
"What's this? Sooner or later, the chief will have to distribute them on a large scale, and I heard that there are cowhide boots. I'm not uncommon. The other officers said. In their opinion, being able to get a good piece of equipment is enough for them to show off for a long time. Because it's a kind of capital. When the officers were all noisy, Shang Wu also figured out some things, he felt that they still lacked some goals, because there were no goals, so they became a little at a loss, but the goals should be chosen by their subordinates, or what good opinions they can have.
"Alright. We will now meet. Shang Wu took his notebook and walked to the middle.
"In today's meeting, let you talk about your own shortcomings, advantages, and ideas for the future." Shang Wu took out his pen and said.
Hearing this, all the people stopped talking.
"What's wrong? What you just said was quite hilarious. Why are you dumb now. Won't say it. Shang Wu said.
"Sir, you usually tell us about it, and we can all understand it, but let's say it ourselves, we, we are stupid." Kuroko stood up and said.
"Hehe, I look at you, Lao Hei was very close just now, and your shoes don't continue. In this way, let's talk about the results, advantages, and disadvantages of your company, you will be able to do this, I see your sunspot's head, not stupid. Shang Wu said.
"Hahaha." Everyone else laughed.
"Come on, come on, give him a round of applause, encouragement. Encourage. Shang Wu said and coaxed. Everyone else clapped their hands. Seeing everyone applauding, Kuroko was also greatly encouraged. Then he looked at the people around him.
"Then, I'll talk about it." Kuroko said.
"Our company has expanded by more than 270 people, including those from the official army, and in terms of weapons, our six people are a small team, and we can organize it into more than 40 squads. We can ambush on all sides, and although some people are not equipped with weapons, they still use hoes and clubs, but we cooperate well, so we have a great advantage in fighting. We have seized a lot every time, and we have not suffered a loss. Kuroko said excitedly.
"Hehe, there are only more than 270 people in your company, and there are more than 300 people in our company." Zhang Li said unconvinced, we have fifty combat groups. Moreover, we were able to conduct two ambush battles, two. This number, who can compare with us. Zhang Li said coaxingly.
"Fuck." When Heizi heard this, he was very unconvinced, but this is the case, the number of people is more than you, he thinks, why is he so stupid, why don't you expand some soldiers, he feels that what he is doing is very wrong, Zhang Li can think of two ambush battles, he will set one at a time, and the captured things will naturally not be as many as others. The other platoons all said their benefits, and their numbers expanded a lot, from more than 100 people at the beginning, to about 200 at once. In this way, the number of Shang Wu's troops was again doubled. But Shang Wu couldn't be happy. There are more people. There are more people to eat. If they can't feed such an army, they naturally can't do such a thing.
"Shortcomings, let's talk about shortcomings." Shang Wu recorded it and said.
"Cons." All the officers touched their heads, they felt that there were no shortcomings.
"I think there are no shortcomings?" Shangwu asked.
"Sir, there really aren't any shortcomings, I think, that's good, you say, isn't it." Kuroko said.
"Okay, since there are no shortcomings, I'll talk about it." Shang Wu said.
"The biggest drawback is that you're too confident. In other words, you are very proud now, as the old saying goes, the proud army will be defeated. You think you've fought a good battle, a good one. That's when you don't meet opponents, you don't encounter defeats. War never pities the proud. Shang Wu said.
"You think your ambush is effective? Let me ask you, what would the officers and soldiers do if they found out about our combat trajectory, or the pattern? Send a great army over, and tens of thousands of people come around you, and you say, 'What will you do?' Shang Wu asked.
"Tell you, when the time comes, as soon as you ambush out, the other party will also set up an ambush, at that time, I will catch you off guard, I see what you will do?" Shangwu asked.
"This, sir, this can't be, can it?" Kuroko stood up and said.
"Impossible, how impossible, tell you that in Sanjia Village, there are now more than 500 officers and soldiers stationed there, if possible, they may launch an attack tomorrow, you are fighting like this, it's okay to fight an ambush, you can find some confidence, but fight with the regular army, especially with the cavalry, do you think you can? If I can, I'll let you attack the 500 officers alone. Shang Wu said.
The people were silent. Because they don't know what to say.
"Don't be complacent with some achievements, we should see our own shortcomings, we have been winning battles these days, which is very good, but don't fall into inertial thinking and can't get out, don't think that we will continue to win, we should see that we still have a lot of things that we are not doing well enough." Shang Wu said. Everyone bowed their heads. Their commander had a point.
"Keep your heads up and face everything bravely. There are shortcomings, we improve ourselves, and that's it. Everybody says, what are we going to do next? Shang Wu said.
"Sir, let me start by saying that we do have shortcomings, first of all, there are too many of them. It's hard to manage people. Many people were disobedient, we had to fight, and there were deserters on our team, and I was very angry. But I didn't say anything about it. Kuroko thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said.
"Sir, I also have it, our team is seriously underarmed, many formations can't be opened, and when we fight, we all rush up in a swarm. In terms of training, there is a serious deficiency in management, and in management, many people do not know who is rooting whom. We also feel a headache about this problem. But we really don't know how to fix it. Zhang Li also said. The other platoon officers said almost the same questions, which boiled down to these aspects.
First, the rapid expansion of the army has brought about difficulties in management, especially the decline in combat effectiveness, and they have not been able to keep up with training. There is also a shortage of officers, and many officers manage a lot of people, so they naturally can't take care of it, which leads to desertion, as well as the appearance of irritability among officers, which is greatly detrimental to the next step of the expansion of the army.
Second, there is a serious shortage of weapons, more than half of a company lacks standard equipment, and most of these equipment are captured by officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turban Army. The weapons were not unified and the training was not in place, which led to a much decline in combat effectiveness.
Third, their management is backward and they cannot keep up with the development of the troops, and Shangwu found that the ranks are generally stuck at about 300 people, and no matter how many people there are, they cannot manage them, which shows that their management ability is at most about 300, and they cannot be flexible in command, and these are all problems.
"It's not all a problem." Shang Wu said after summing up.
"We should see that a team like ours is still weak and can't play big battles and sports battles. Only guerrilla warfare can be fought. Shang Wu said.
"What is called movement warfare, that is, our troops, can gather at once, eat a stubborn enemy, and then disperse at once, the enemy can't catch us, but we can skillfully dodge, eat each other, and at the same time eat each other, we also have the ability to expand our strength, just like the song of the hero, you have me, all of them." Shang Wu said.
"Haha." A lot of people laughed.
"This is the sports war, this is our goal, we must not allow it, we meet the current conditions, even if we meet them. That's not enough, if we're just meeting the current needs, we'll just be the kings of the mountain. Shang Wu said. An army should have its own political goals. Without a political goal, his army would not be able to go long, such as the historical Yellow Turban Army Zhang Yan and others, it was because of the lack of a clear goal that they did not go far in the end.
"Our goal is to develop guerrilla warfare into a war of movement, to dare to eat the enemy who has penetrated deep into the enemy, and at the same time, to dare to fight hard battles and fight desperately. We are not afraid of the enemy, let the enemy be afraid of us. Shang Wu said.
"And our political goal is to encircle the cities from the countryside." Shangwu absorbed part of Mao's thoughts, don't think that Mao's thoughts are only available in China, and there are still large fan groups abroad. In the United States, there are more than 800,000 people, and even Kissinger can recite some important passages.
"The countryside surrounds the city?" Everyone asked puzzled.
"That's right, it's the countryside that surrounds the city, for example, Handan, Julu. There are many rural villages in the surrounding area, but there is only one city, and our strength will take root in the countryside. Growing up, the countryside provided a lot of food, soldiers gave us, and at the same time we were able to produce our own weapons. And the city that is surrounded is naturally ours. We will be able to expand our base areas on a large scale. Shang Wu said.
"Do you say, are there more cities or more rural areas?" Sangmu asked such a question.
"Rural. How many rural areas do we have, and there are more rural households. A platoon commander said.
"Yes, since we have such an advantage, we can quickly give full play to our numerical advantage, and we naturally surround the city, and finally this city, like a ripe fruit, falls into our pockets." Shang Wu said. At this moment, everyone understood what their goal was, a war of movement, the encirclement of the city by the countryside.
"Sir, what are we going to do?" Kuroko asked impatiently.
"First of all, we need to open up, connect, develop all the rural areas, develop our militia, become a part of our system, and let the enemy come to our base areas, and there is no return, which requires us to develop militia organizations, develop tunnel warfare, and develop all kinds of tactics to annihilate the enemy's living forces. And the militia can at the same time protect themselves, their own property, and provide us with sufficient soldiers. Shang Wu said.
"In order to guide the militia and develop it, I decided to divide our company in half and expand it to guide the local guerrilla warfare and the development of the militia warfare." Shang Wu said.
"This requires us to be closely connected with the local people, to do good deeds, and to make them participate in our government. And our army protects them, and only in this way can we develop and grow, and at the same time carry out the corresponding guerrilla warfare, the destruction of the enemy, as well as the conditional movement warfare. This conditional movement warfare means that everyone quickly gathers together to strike at the enemy, the more than 500 officers and soldiers, who are currently penetrating our base bases. Shang Wu said.
"Okay, beat his officers." A platoon commander said.
"Yes, the officers and soldiers who beat him, what should be done is to shoot." The officers were excited.
"But before we do, we need to solve the problem of our rank, which is convenient for us to manage." Shang Wu said with a smile.
