Chapter Ninety-Seven: Movement Warfare

In the British Concession in Shanghai, Chen Dingtian estimated the situation here, and then speculated based on several British officials around him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Who do you think will win this time?" Chen Dingtian asked the British ** official.

"I speculate that the British are victorious for your government army, and I have seen your so-called rebel army, which is really bad. If I were the commander of that government army, it would not be difficult to command and defeat these rebels. This is a defense along the Yangtze River waterway, and they can rely on this waterway for defense, so that the rebel army will definitely not be able to use their superiority in strength. In fact, there are only two advantages to the superiority of troops, one is that it can encircle the enemy. However, the geography here obviously did not give them the conditions to surround the enemy. The government army, that is, the Qing army, could rely on the river for defense, so that the encirclement of the numerical superiority could not be reflected. ”

"On the other hand, the numerical advantage is actually experienced in the war of attrition. The side with the largest number of attrition players tends to win. Of course, a large number of people does not mean an absolute number of combat effectiveness. Although there are many of these rebels, I dare not guarantee their quality. According to the fact that we also fought with your government army in Zhenjiang more than ten years ago, in fact, I am quite optimistic about the strength of your government army. Because although your government army is inferior to our British army, it is obvious that these rebel armies are much more powerful. The proportion of firearms was as high as 20 percent, but there were almost no firearms in this rebel army. The quality of officers, to the quality of various commanders, and all kinds of situations are obviously inferior. ”

"And once you get into a war of attrition, it's not just the number of people who are competing, it's also about willpower. If the army does not have strong willpower, then it should not fight a war of attrition with the enemy. Because the war of attrition is not faced with the number of people, but with fighting willpower and endurance, if the number of people seems to be large, but it cannot really hold on, then everything is useless. ”

"If most of the so-called 300,000 troops flee first, then they are actually nominally controlling the 300,000 troops, but they obviously have enough capacity to consume them, it will be in vain."

The German staff officers next to him were obviously very optimistic about Zhou Lichun's operation, and even thought that Zhou Lichun was bound to be defeated. The quality of the soldiers, the quality of the officers, and the level of weapons were inferior to the Qing army in all aspects, and in such an operation was actually inevitable.

"Hey, in fact, I also said it, but my father-in-law, Zhou Lichun, is too rigid and self-serving, and he can't listen to other people's opinions anymore." Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian didn't have the slightest way to deal with this Zhou Lichun, and as his strength increased, he became more and more unable to listen to other people's opinions. This is actually the case of many people, as the power becomes stronger and stronger, the power becomes more and more powerful, but the less and less able to listen to the opposing opinions. It may be contrary to their words, but it makes them uncomfortable. They just believe in themselves, and this may be the terrible power that makes a person a devil.

"Actually, there are also some problems with your strategic goals. You shouldn't attack this Jiangning first, although according to what you said, the city of Jiangning is of great historical and cultural significance. But you know it, and your enemies know it. Your enemies also know this truth better than you, and if you go to attack Jiangning, they will also fight desperately to protect it. ”

"On the contrary, if you go to attack Jiangning, it just gives them a good opportunity. In this way, once your forces are concentrated, then they will also concentrate their forces to fight you, and then fight for a chance to annihilate most of your troops. In this kind of positional warfare, these rebel armies are fighting with weak forces against strong forces, which is a great loss. ”

Hearing what the Prussian staff officer said, Chen Dingtian was not very optimistic about the future of the Tiandihui rebel army.

"Hey, people, that's it, don't cry when you don't see the coffin. I hope that this time my father-in-law can experience it well, so that they can make a better change strategy. There are some costs, and the price of blood must be truly changed by magnetic energy! If there is no bloodshed, it will not really change. Chen Dingtian sighed helplessly and said.

In many cases, people will not change their minds without experiencing a truly painful price. If people are so easy to change, then the social progress of mankind is very fast. There is no doubt that the price of not experiencing blood will not change. Chen Dingtian couldn't convince Zhou Lichun, who was already becoming more and more self-serving, and only hoped that he would lose once and really pay a heavy price before he knew how to change. How many people in history would not have thought about making changes until they had really experienced the tragedy.

"Actually, you should consider going south to attack Zhejiang, not Jiangning. Attacking Zhejiang in the south is the channel to gain a large amount of territory and population. With a large population, and by increasing the size of the land, the enemy's forces will also be dispersed, which will be beneficial to you. ”

"You have the advantage of having more troops, but you are far less elite than the enemy. However, the enemy's advantage lies in the small number of troops, but the disadvantage also lies in the lack and refinement. Your Qing government's army is small and fine, and they are not conducive to controlling too much territory. If they want to fight, they must concentrate their superior forces and then annihilate you. On the contrary, if they are dispersed, it is easy to annihilate some of them by your concentrated superior forces, causing absolute losses. The Prussian staff officer said.

"Yes, yes, yes...... That's right! Why didn't I think of this method before, sports warfare, sports warfare, isn't it the most suitable for the current situation? Although the rebel army of the Heaven and Earth Society has poor military quality, it also has his advantages. For example, familiar with the environment, familiar with the geographical environment, especially many people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who are very familiar with the geographical environment here. Especially in the countryside below, it is much more familiar than the Qing army. ”

"On the contrary, the main source of strength for these armies under Yiliang is not mainly from Jiangsu, but from the troops of the northern Central Plains. They are not very familiar with the environment of the Jiangnan water network, and even less familiar with the wild environment. As long as we can use the advantage of our familiarity with the terrain and then engage in a gradual movement war, wouldn't it be possible to neutralize their weapon advantage to a large extent? ”

"Also, the main weapons used by these Qing troops to kill the enemy are firearms. However, their firearms were very heavy, and muskets were also used by large regiments to show their power, and the power of a single person was almost zero, but it was not as good as a few bows and arrows. ”

"If we can disperse the movement, and then dilute those Qing troops through the huge geographical movement. Although those Qing troops seem to be elite, they are really dispersed and cannot form an effective joint force, but it is easy for us to obtain a relatively partial advantage in strength by our Heaven and Earth Society rebel army with a relatively large number of troops, so it is not impossible to destroy the Qing army. ”

"If we move the battlefield to Zhejiang, instead of Jiangsu, then once the relative area of the battlefield expands, it will be at a disadvantage for the side with a small absolute number!"

Chen Dingtian suddenly felt enlightened, this way made Chen Dingtian feel that he could learn from the founding ancestor of New China? He was an expert in movement warfare, and when the Red Army was weak, he was inferior to the enemy in terms of the quality of troops and the number of weapons. However, after the use of mobile warfare, the enemy is mobilized so that the enemy cannot effectively communicate with each other and support each other.

At this time, the relative concentration of troops to annihilate part of them formed a relative superiority in forces. Although the strength of troops is not an advantage in general, it can also concentrate forces to form a local absolute superiority, so as to divide the enemy piece by piece, eat the enemy, and obtain the maximum result with a small number of troops.

Isn't that the right situation right now? These Qing troops were adept at positional warfare, and their weapons relied heavily on position. The artillery was too heavy to move quickly and effectively, and positions had to be deployed in time. But if they don't have time to deploy their positions, the artillery is useless.

As for muskets and crossbows, they also relied on intensive firing. Muskets and crossbows rely on intensive fire to generate enough power, otherwise they are not very busy with burning sticks. The rifles of this era were not company-based, on the contrary, they were very difficult to load, and the firepower of a single soldier was not large, and it was necessary to rely on the collective operation of a large number of troops.

But once they are scattered, their weapon advantage will be largely negated. Even these Qing troops seem to be elite, but their small numbers are also a huge weakness. The number of people is actually useful and useful, because once it is really time to divide the troops, only when the number of people is large can there be "soldiers" to divide, and the side with fewer people may be elite, but it cannot be able to "divide"! It is impossible to divide a person into several points, so there is actually a certain advantage to having a large number of people.

War is about wielding advantages and reducing disadvantages. And weaken the enemy's superiority and increase the enemy's disadvantage. Relying solely on weapons, that certainly won't work. Maximizing one's combat power and minimizing the enemy's advantage by combining the existing conditions is the best way to achieve victory, rather than relying on weapons all the time.

"Damn, why didn't I think of that before? I have studied for so many years, and I have actually forgotten the revolutionary history of the founding father, isn't this movement war very suitable for the current means? These Qing troops were even inferior to the weapons of the 'Scraping the People's Party' back then, the weapons of the 'Scraping the People's Party' were lighter, and even the quality of the army was even inferior to that of the Qing Army at this time. At that time, the weapons were countless times lighter, and the firepower was countless times more fierce, and this set was useful, let alone now. The weapons of these Qing troops were not only bulky and unsuitable for regular movement, but even completely relied on positional warfare, which was more dependent on positional warfare than the Kuomintang army. Once they really exercise, the power of their weapons is even worse than that of the People's Party. Why didn't I think of this trick before, I regret it! Chen Dingtian grabbed his head and said.

Isn't the war of movement the best fit for the current situation? This movement warfare is like a tailor-made method for the rebel army such as the Heaven and Earth Society, which weakens the enemy's advantage to the greatest extent and improves the advantage of being familiar with the terrain and being good at moving. And once the enemy is mobilized and scattered, it can take the opportunity to concentrate the forces and combat strength of the relative superiority to attack fiercely, and the enemy is suddenly attacked in this way, and it will inevitably lose a lot of vital forces.

Chen Dingtian hurriedly took out his pen and began to write all kinds of things.

"If you lose your land, you will lose both your land and your land. Save people and lose land, and people and land are gained. "Destroy the enemy in the movement and concentrate superior forces ......"

Chen Dingtian began to copy sentence by sentence, and he, a meat and vegetarian copyist, began to plagiarize vigorously again. Although he doesn't fully remember the articles written by the founding Taizu, he still remembers the outlines and central ideas of many of the articles. He even used a lot of "famous quotes" of the founding Taizu of New China very "toothlessly", and a large number of famous quotes of the founding Taizu of that year were written into this new paper by Chen Dingtian.

If someone in later generations saw this article, they would definitely scold Chen Dingtian for copying the text, and the plagiarism was too ruthless, and he actually copied a large number of famous quotes of the founding Taizu as a basis for strengthening his arguments.

Soon, a paper was also directly made, and Chen Dingtian wrote a title for this paper, which was called.

"I didn't plagiarize this time, I really didn't plagiarize! I'm just taking a screenshot from the non-provision article of the founding ancestor, a paragraph from this article, and a paragraph from another article. I took screenshots from different articles, so I can't call it plagiarism! Doesn't it mean that only the whole article is plagiarism? I'll take out some paragraphs, and this is called borrowing, you know? I'm calling this a reference, not plagiarism, who dares to say that I am a copyist in this article in the future, who am I anxious with! I'm borrowing from this, it's a reference! Chen Dingtian said.

That's right, Chen Dingtian is just borrowing, according to some people, without copying the whole article, it can't be called plagiarism, this kind of interception from different articles, this can only be called "borrowing", by no means "plagiarism"! Therefore, this article is "original" by Chen Dingtian, and it is definitely "original". In the future, whoever dares to say that Chen Dingtian plagiarized, Chen Dingtian rushed to sue him, and if he wants to sue him for slander and slander, he must be sued! Chen Dingtian is obviously just borrowing, and there is absolutely no plagiarism, so whoever says that he plagiarized is slandering and slandering, then Chen Dingtian has the right to sue him.
