Chapter Eighty-Three: Conjecture, Boya Tactics
Whew, Yang Tianfeng let out a sigh of relief, stood up and looked, there was only one person left in the room. He moved a little, Ping'er's skills were not covered, although some of the healing skills he learned from her father were really a bit scary, but the medicine was good, and the massage techniques were also very good, and he didn't feel very painful anymore.
After staying in the house for a while, Yang Tianfeng had already adjusted his mood and changed into clothes. At this time, Xiao Sicai came back with the medicine, telling him about his hard work, how famous this medicine was in the city, how it worked, and wanted to give Yang Tianfeng the medicine immediately.
Yang Tianfeng didn't want to say anything, so he had to put down the medicine and say to Xiao Si that Han Ping'er had already sent the medicine, and he had already wiped it out, and the injury was no longer serious.
After dinner, Yang Tianfeng came to the office in the front yard and told the sentry guarding the gate that if someone named Ma Yuming came, he would bring it to him.
Regarding Ma Yuming's possible identity, Yang Tianfeng did not have any accurate judgment. But he felt that this person was certainly not simple, and meeting him might be unexpected. Yang Tianfeng still has many difficulties in attacking the troops in the Yellow Flood Area, and one of them is a little troublesome, that is, the name.
Because, in the south of Shangqiu, there is the banner of the anti-Japanese guerrilla headquarters in eastern Henan. Song Kebin, who was formerly the quartermaster of the Sixth Army of the National Alliance Army, was the commander of the Northwest Army, with four corps under his command, and Song also served as the commissioner of the Second Inspector of Henan Province. From a geographical point of view, Yang Tianfeng's men and horses should not be under the command of Song Kebin, but they have to go out of the county to fight, and what is in eastern Henan, Huaibei, and west of the road are all places that Yang Tianfeng wants to go.
Therefore, he needs a relatively free space to exert himself, and he is interested in the area at the junction of Henan, Anhui and Shandong. As far as the local troops are concerned, that is an act of crossing the line.
Because of this, he was very interested in the woman who was rescued from the devil's prison and spent manpower and material resources to rescue her. In his opinion, this woman's background is very useful, and the radio station she carries alone is very likely to belong to two organizations, the Central Union or the Military Command.
Unfortunately, although the woman's injuries have been carefully managed, they have improved greatly. But the attitude is still rigid, and he basically doesn't say a word to anyone. Of course, she was brutally tortured by the devils, and it is likely that she was greatly stimulated. But Yang Tianfeng only saw hatred and pain in her eyes, but he couldn't see the traces of that kind of insanity.
After his thoughts flipped, Yang Tianfeng sat at the table, took out a pen and paper, and continued to write what he thought was very important.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: If a person and a nation want to survive and develop, they must have the spirit of self-reliance, autonomy and self-improvement. We can't be at the mercy of fate, we can't let the strong bullied, and mental numbness is more terrible than physical weakness.
At this time, Yang Tianfeng deeply felt that the words of this old angry young man were right. His own ability is limited, and even if he can achieve some victories against the Japanese army, such a small partial victory will have no impact on the overall situation against Japan at all, unless he is given a few atomic bombs and a few hundred long-range bombers, he may be able to deal an absolute blow to the Japanese.
Otherwise, even American-style equipment would have to fight hard in the face of the outlaw-like tenacity of the Japanese. The bloody battle in the Pacific Theater proved this.
Then, the way to make China's resistance against Japan suffer fewer losses and win more victories is to teach the experience of future generations to as many Chinese as possible. This includes many aspects, including advanced operational theories and a deep understanding of the Japanese.
You must know that in the national liberation war that paid great sacrifices, the Chinese soldiers often fought to the death with the Japanese devils in the ratio of 1 to 3, 1 to 5, and 1 to 10, interpreting the belief that every inch of the country and every inch of blood was lost.
Of course, this phenomenon is due to the fact that the Japanese army has absolutely superior weapons and equipment and the soldiers' fighting quality is high, but the mistakes of Chinese officers in strategic deployment and tactical application are still a very important reason. And under the guidance of such erroneous strategies and tactics, no matter how brave and sacrificing the officers and men at the lower levels are, they will not be able to achieve victory.
From this point of view, if China's military department had seriously cared for and studied the new tactics of the Japanese army before the war, if many high-ranking officers had learned modern strategy and tactics at the Army University, if the lower-level soldiers had mastered how to defend the aircraft, how to fight tanks, and how to deal with long-range artillery, and if a large number of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-tank mines had been imported before the war. It can be assumed that in the initial period of the war, the Chinese* army would not have suffered such a crushing defeat, or rather would not have suffered such heavy losses.
Although hypotheses are hypotheses, there should be positive significance in learning lessons at this time. Eight years, now is only the second year, it is too late to make amends.
Yang Tianfeng is writing "The Essence of Boya Tactics", that is, guerrilla tactics. Why such a name? First, it is more esoteric and advanced, and secondly, it is also in line with Yang Tianfeng's study abroad and travel.
We should not think that if we know the principle of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed and disturbs, when the enemy is tired, we fight, and when the enemy retreats, we will pursue" will be able to show our skills in guerrilla warfare and win many battles. Any theory should be applied flexibly and carefully deployed.
Taking traditional ambush as an example, guerrilla warfare is clearly different from regular field warfare in terms of the distribution of troops and the purpose of the attack. Excessive adherence to the traditional field ambush tactics is often one of the reasons for the excessive losses of the guerrilla forces.
Organizations, bases, political work, battles, orders, etc., once you get into a certain theory, you will find that it is not easy to elaborate on it. At the tactical level alone, Yang Tianfeng thought of six types of guerrilla tactics: rural guerrilla tactics, urban guerrilla tactics, jungle and mountain guerrilla tactics, plain guerrilla tactics, coastal archipelago guerrilla tactics, and special guerrilla tactics.
The information in his head is Yang Tianfeng's most useful weapon, and while thinking and writing, he strives to be detailed and meticulous, and even gives examples. For example, for a small and medium-sized guerrilla unit of 30 men for a simulated battle of a small patrol unit with two or three military vehicles and eight Japanese troops, he gave a detailed explanation of the ambush location, the number of troops to be ambushed, the number of troops to block reinforcements, and the tactics used.
In Yang Tianfeng's plan, in addition to the "Minutes of Military Training" that has already been compiled and the "Essence of Boya Tactics" that he is currently writing, he will also write "Special Forces Training and Operations," "Guide to Street Fighting," "Key Points of Defensive Operations," and other teaching materials. The knowledge in his mind is not his alone, but will belong to the anti-Japanese army of the whole of China.
