Chapter 291: Feeling China
As for the question of Marshal Zhukov and the gains and losses of the Soviet army in the Sino-Soviet war, all this can only be studied and summed up by the Soviet Union itself, and it can slowly comprehend the lessons of these blood.
Deng Feng pondered for a while, and said to Marshal Zhukov, who was called "a symbol of the victory of the Soviet Union" by Stalin in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union: "There was a famous military strategist in ancient China who said, 'The image of the soldier is water, the shape of water, avoiding the high and tending down; The shape of the soldier, avoiding the real and attacking the false. The water is controlled by the land, and the soldiers are defeated by the enemy. Therefore, the army is impermanent, and the water is impermanent; Those who can win due to the change of the enemy are called gods. The Soviet army's tactical theory of wide frontage, large corps, large depth, high speed, and large-scale airborne operations behind enemy lines and continuous attacks in multiple waves has been proven to be effective on the Soviet-German battlefield. That is because this tactic of the Soviet Union was in line with the specific situation on the Soviet-German battlefield at that time, but this does not mean that this tactical theory is universal, effective everywhere, and effective for everyone. ”
After listening to Mao Anying's translation, Zhukov pondered for a long time. He said: "Comrade Deng Feng, I know the famous military strategist of ancient China that you are talking about, and his book -- Sun Tzu's Art of War -- is broad and profound, his thinking is sophisticated and rich, his logic is meticulous and rigorous, and his tactical thinking and cultural essence are brilliant and of universal value, and he has always been impressed by military strategists all over the world. After being deposed, Kaiser Wilhelm II once sighed: If you read "The Art of War" twenty years earlier, you will never suffer the pain of losing your country. This has a certain reference significance for promoting the transformation of Soviet tactical thinking. Comrade Deng Feng, in the war against India and the current war against the Soviet Union, you used modern and superb technology and with the help of China's super weapons and equipment to give full play to Sun Tzu's profound tactical thinking in the art of war. ”
Deng Feng thought to himself, what can really be described as a god. I'm a god. In order to decompose India, I and the thousands of comrades of the Indian Special Service Committee spent more than four years in Tibetan provinces and India. We have been planning for this war against the Soviet Union since we came to this era, and we have been actively creating conditions for this war in all aspects, and we have been preparing for it for eight or nine years. The reason why China won this great victory in this war is the result of the efforts of the Chinese people over the past 10 years. It was the heroic Chinese People's Liberation Army that mastered the absolutely superior weapons system of this era, the fearless surname of the supreme leader who defied all reactionaries who regarded themselves as powerful, and the superb wisdom and courage to grasp the overall situation.
In the long run, it is the people, not one or two new weapons, that decide the outcome of a war. But if the weapon system as a whole is generational, it will become a key factor in determining the outcome of the war, and in order to produce these weapons systems for later generations, the owners of the base and the scientists of this era have done almost all their best. To say that "gods" are those engineers and technicians who manufacture these weapons and equipment, the vast number of military workers, and those commanders and fighters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army who use these equipment.
"Comrade Zhukov, thank you for your compliments to me," Deng Feng thought of this, pointed to the troops marching on the East and West Chang'an Avenue, and said to Zhukov: "They are the real gods of war, and I am just one of them." ”
Zhukov burst out of the air: "Modesty, great modesty!" ”
Deng Feng didn't want to waste time on the question of whether heroes made history or slaves made history, he smiled faintly, and then asked Zhukov: "Marshal Zhukov, you are a great military strategist, what do you understand about the tactics adopted by China in this Sino-Soviet armed conflict?" ”
Zhukov said very frankly: "In this war between us, we can still see the rich war experience accumulated by China [***] in the protracted revolutionary war and the unique tactics of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Of course, on top of that, you've added some new tactics that I don't know what to call yet, such as aerial suppression, long-range strikes, electromagnetic shielding, heart-digging decapitation, and so on."
Zhukov pondered for a moment, and then said: "In short, you have inherited the previous traditional methods of warfare founded by the Chinese [***] people, but the difference is that the form and content have changed dramatically, and they have become more elusive and inscrutable. This time, the air-ground integration of the troops under your command was very well organized and coordinated, and the action was fast, steady, accurate, and ruthless. I really don't know how you did that? ”
Deng Feng smiled and did not give any answer to Zhukov's question.
Zhukov looked at the mechanized units of the Chinese People's Liberation Army rumbling below. I thought to myself that it was imperative to conscientiously study China's military thinking and reform the strategic and tactical structure of the Soviet army. It's just that reforming these strategic and tactical systems, which have been in place for many years, is not something that happens overnight, and the resistance we face is conceivable, and this is not something that I, the defense minister, can say.
Mao Anying looked at Marshal Zhukov, who was staring blankly at the parade of the Chinese People's Liberation Army troops passing in front of [***], and asked: "Marshal Zhukov, the Soviet Union has organized many large-scale military parades, and when I was studying at the Frunze Military Academy, I participated in the grand military parade of the October Revolution Day held on Moscow's Red Square in the early morning of November 7, 1941 as a tank soldier of the Soviet Red Army, and was reviewed by you. How do you feel about the military parade marking the 10th anniversary of the founding of our country? ”
"I am completely shocked by the grand occasion of the 10th anniversary of the National Day parade in your country, as a soldier, I feel extremely excited, [***] square has become a platform for China to show the military modernization of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the past 10 years, everything displayed here is so magical, so brilliant, so shocking, all kinds of new equipment produced in China, the quantity, scale, quality level have reached a new stage, has far exceeded the world's advanced level. It shows the achievements of the modernization of weapons and equipment of the Chinese team, and demonstrates the unparalleled independent innovation ability of China's weapons and equipment design and manufacturing. Whether it is the army, navy, air force, strategic rocket and other services, or the armored troops, airborne troops, air defense troops, and other specialized units, whether it is tanks, artillery, missiles and other combat equipment, or logistics and other support equipment, they are all more advanced than people can imagine. Zhukov, a veteran of the Soviet Army who had commanded countless battles, said to Mao Anying: "As you know, I have participated in and personally organized many military parades, and only here did I really feel the shock in my heart, and it is difficult for me to imagine any other military parade that can make people feel like this." China's ultra-modern armed equipment and the strong style of the Chinese People's Liberation Army were all vividly displayed in this military parade, and I kept asking myself how the Chinese comrades did this in these 10 short periods. China's powerful military strength and brand-new tactics are changing the way of warfare and the concept of warfare in the world in the future. ”
After listening to Mao Anying's translation of Zhukov's feelings, Deng Feng said: "After hundreds of years of hardships and hardships, our army has fought a bloody battle for 22 years, and 10 years ago, it finally won the liberation of the Chinese nation and seized the national power Chinese. We do not want war, and although we have achieved initial modernization of our armed forces and weaponry, their numbers are extremely limited, and our national defense policy is based on defense. ”
Zhukov thought in his heart that this Deng Feng could really play with a big sword, and he kept saying, "Although we have achieved preliminary modernization of our army and equipment, the number is extremely limited, and our national defense policy is based on defense." "The initial modernization, the number is extremely limited, it is so strong, we Soviet troops can't find the north, if it is completely modernized, the number is more, and no one else will be allowed to live. In addition, "our national defense policy is based on defense," so if we attack the surname, will we want to bring the whole world into China's pocket? But that's fine, [***] is a global reality.
Deng Feng continued: "China is committed to peace and stability in the world, and especially cherishes the harmonious coexistence with the fraternal Soviet people. We sincerely hope that there will be no more war between China and the Soviet Union and that the Chinese and Soviet peoples will be able to carry out socialist modernization wholeheartedly in a peaceful and friendly environment. We are committed to building our country into a peaceful, stable and prosperous socialist power. The Chinese People's Liberation Army will make unremitting efforts to achieve this beautiful goal.
"Through this National Day military parade in China, I have seen that the Chinese people, under the leadership of Chairman Mao ZD, have adhered to the path of self-reliance and self-reliance, and have built a semi-feudal and semi-colonial China into such a powerful socialist country in such a short period of time. China is far ahead of the world in the fields of industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology, and China has become a model for the entire socialist country. I have sincere admiration for the Chinese people, and I regard all these great achievements of China as the victory of the proletariat of the world. Zhukov turned his face to Chinese Defense Minister Peng Dehuai, who had not spoken, and said: "Marshal Peng Dehuai, both the Chinese and Soviet parties are Marxist-Leninist political parties, both China and the Soviet Union are socialist countries, and both the Chinese and Soviet armies are strong pillars of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Can we carry out some military exchanges and cooperation between our two militaries, such as exchanges and cooperation in military technology, tactical thinking, and so on? ”
After listening to Zhukov's proposal, Peng Dehuai said: "Comrade Zhukov, you should go to Premier Zhou Enlai to talk about these diplomatic matters. ”
The grand National Day military parade and celebrations for the first 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China have left a profound impact on the world, and almost all the eyes of the world are focused on Yanjing, and major media around the world have made great reports on it on the front page.
The Associated Press published a report entitled "China's 10th Anniversary": China held an unprecedented grand celebration for its 10th birthday. The military parade is the 'highlight' of this National Day celebration. After the parade, a grand mass procession was held, and a phalanx of 100,000 people and 30 floats passed through Yanjing [***] Square in turn.
China's celebration of this scale reflects the pride of the Chinese in the achievements of New China in the past 10 years -- China has leapt from a poor country devastated by war to one of the world's leading economic powers, military powers, and diplomatic powers that play an important role in international affairs.
In this military parade, China not only displayed the world's most advanced armored forces and China's extremely sharp nuclear teeth, the nuclear missile mobile unit, but also displayed the advanced Soviet jet fighters captured in the Sino-Soviet war, in order to humiliate the former socialist big brother.
Reuters reported: On October 1, Yanjing [***] Square has become a show for the powerful Chinese [***] team to show its incomparably toughness. A group of well-trained, well-organized soldiers marched through the square with their heads held high and swaggering, and they had a reason for that, for not long ago they had knocked their northern neighbor, the formidable polar bear, to the ground and kicked them a few times
The mechanized equipment platoon, composed of new weapons such as China's armored units and mobile missile vehicles, appeared in front of people's eyes in a terrified manner under the guidance of the cool-looking Chinese 'destroyer' tanks, as if announcing to the world the arrival of a new era -- the Chinese era.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that more than 100,000 people participated in the celebration in China's capital, [***], on October 1. The prelude to China's National Day celebrations was a military parade. Military experts pointed out that the weapons displayed at the parade were completely China's own development and manufacture of the latest weapons system, which surpassed that of any country in the world. In the absence of official data from China, it is difficult to make a realistic assessment and judgment of his surname, but the results of the recent Sino-Soviet war are enough to prove the strength of these weapons.
Through this military parade, which is unprecedented in the world, China has demonstrated its strong military strength to the world. At the same time, the military parade in Yanjing itself is expected to tell the world that the humiliation suffered by China for more than 100 years is a thing of the past. Now the whole world needs to look carefully at China's eyes.
According to a report by a reporter from Yenching of this newspaper, on 1 October, the great socialist China ushered in the 10 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Ten years ago, China was one of the poorest and most backward countries in the world, and the vast number of Chinese people lived in dire straits, suffering from the oppression of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, and suffering from poverty, hunger, war and plague. Under the leadership of the Chinese people, after 10 years of hard work, the Chinese people eradicated poverty, hunger, plague, and ignorance. Today, it is not difficult to see on their healthy, ruddy, smiling faces how happy they are to live in a socialist society. In the 10 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology have developed by leaps and bounds, and China has become one of the most developed countries in the world. The great practice of China's socialist revolution and socialist construction has once again proved that the socialist system has an incomparable superiority over the capitalist system. The practice of New China has proved that only socialism can save China, and only socialism can enable China to shake off backwardness and move toward prosperity.
The Financial Times reported: If the World Expo held in Shanghai, China, in May last year, turned the world's attention to China and provided an opportunity for China to showcase its industrial, agricultural, and scientific and technological achievements, so that the world could experience the rise of China, a powerful economic power, then the unprecedented grand military parade in Yanjing on October 1 will make people not forget that China is still an absolutely powerful military and political power. At the military parade in Yanjing, China displayed its latest tanks, armored vehicles, nuclear missiles and fighter jets. The parade is undoubtedly a reminder to the world that China is capable of cracking down the hardest on actions that touch China's core interests.
The Washington Post published a report by Yenching-based correspondent Dunlop. A Berry feature story on the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The report said that the idea of the rise of a great nation and its development by leaps and bounds is the soul of the Chinese revolution. On October 1, 1949, when President Mao ZD, the leader of China, announced the founding of the People's Republic of China at the Chenglou, China was still a poor, backward, poor and white agricultural country, and was invaded by European powers and Ben in the 19th century. Mao Zd led the Chinese for 10 years, clearing the shadow of the humiliation of being invaded by European powers from the memory of the Chinese people. The Chinese revolution is also a revolution to rejuvenate the Chinese nation and the self-confidence of the Chinese people. This movement awakened China's tremendous potential strength, and the idea of putting China on the right path and leapfrogging development was a positive result of the Chinese revolution. Although this nation has been oppressed and invaded by foreign forces in the past 100 years, the revolution led by Mao has broken the shackles around their necks, held their heads high, and led the world with leapfrog development. ”
