Chapter 50: The Military Academy Polemic

In the cold wind of the early morning, looking at the scene at the foot of the mountain in front of them, Duan Zhengfeng and other SPD, who had been shocked by various scenes and situations, were a little numb, and they were full of emotion for a while.

"Secretary Duan, do you see that there are still foreigners there? What are they doing? ”

When the group came to a cliff, they saw several German officers loudly reprimanding the soldiers.

"Stupid, pay attention to the essentials of the movement, if you don't want to fall to your death, you have to do what I say!"

"It's the instructor!" A few soldiers who had not completed the prescribed actions silently packed up their equipment, grabbed the rope dangling on the cliff with their hands, and climbed up step by step.

"This is airborne training, and due to conditions and secrecy reasons, we can't do it with great fanfare now!" At this time, Mu Han walked over.

"Airborne training? What is Airborne Training? Duan Zhengfeng and the others were puzzled.

"The so-called airborne training, to put it simply, is to jump from a soldier from an airplane. Arrive behind enemy lines, or other pre-designated locations, and then begin to carry out tasks such as infiltration, lurking, reconnaissance, sneak attack, sabotage, and assassination. ”

"Jumping off the plane? Commander-in-Chief Mu, do you still have planes? And the Air Force? Duan Zhengfeng and the others have now been "scorched on the outside and tender on the inside" by Lei.

Mu Han nodded, "In a future war, without an air force and air supremacy, it will be absolutely passive!" So we had to prepare in advance! ”

Mu Han looked at Duan Zhengfeng and the others meaningfully, and their reactions were all in full view.

"Everyone, if you are interested, you can go to our Longshan Military Academy to have a look, maybe you have a greater harvest!" Mu Han smiled playfully.

"Ahh You still have a military school? Then let's see, learn, and learn! Disturbed! ”

In fact, the Longshan Military Academy is just a large room in Wolong Mountain, where some tables and chairs are placed for those in the Chinese Dragon Guard Army who have not undergone formal military command and training to study and further their studies.

Outside the room, a plaque made of yellow pear has four big characters written on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing: "Longshan Military Academy". Although the conditions are simple, in the minds of all the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Dragon Guard at this time, this is undoubtedly a holy place. Officers of all walks of life who had never studied systematically or had little understanding of military command, and even many officers from the regular armies of various forces, were proud to be able to study here. Because they have learned that although the appearance of this place is not good, the curriculum and teachers are very amazing. Not only are there all kinds of military subjects, but most of the teachers are retired foreign military officers with rich practical combat experience, and while they give lectures, they put their own combat experience through their theoretical knowledge, so that the learners have a great sense of enlightenment and enlightenment.

"In mountain warfare, concentrating forces on key points is the general guiding principle for offensive and defensive battles. Where is the enemy's vital point? On commanding heights, mountain passes, intersections and mountain passes! Once these key points are conquered, the enemy's defenses will be fragmented and the defense system will be paralyzed. Therefore, when carrying out the combat mission of mountain attack, the troops should concentrate their main forces and weapons, carry out attacks along the main passages that are easy to pass, and go all out to capture the commanding heights on both sides of the passages and the key terrain such as mountain passes and intersections located on the passages. "A German officer was wearing a military uniform without collar badges and armbands, and was explaining in Chinese.

"Officers! Did you know? In fact, the most typical example of mountain offensive and defensive warfare was not created by us Germans. ”

"Oh? Who's that? ”

"Hehe, this person is our commander-in-chief! When the commander-in-chief was studying at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, he created a miracle of inflicting heavy losses on a cadet officer training regiment with a cadet company, and that battle has become a classic example that all officers of the German army must learn. ”

"Ahh Hahaha! Worthy of our commander-in-chief! "Everybody was full of adoration.

"Ahh Commander-in-chief, the Yongsan Military Academy is teaching and studying mountain warfare, and the instructor of the military academy, retired German officer Seves salutes you. Please instruct! When the German officer saw Mu Han and his party coming in, he immediately gave a respectful military salute. Most of the students who were listening to the class didn't know Mu Han yet, and when they saw that the instructor said that the commander-in-chief had arrived, they immediately stood up and saluted in unison, shouting: "Good commander-in-chief!" ”

Mu Han also saluted an army as standard, and then motioned for everyone to continue.

"Mountain warfare, emphasizing concealment suddenly. The mountainous terrain is complex, the terrain is undulating, the concealment conditions are good, and the vegetation in many areas is dense, which is very conducive to the troops' multi-channel covert maneuvers and sudden attacks. Therefore, the troops should be deployed in depth and echelons, organize their forces into multiple attack groups, make full use of the favorable conditions in the mountains, and quickly and covertly engage the enemy along as many routes as possible. When necessary and possible, according to the terrain characteristics of the mountainous area, it is necessary to actively conceal the truth and reveal the false, and feint and deceive, so as to achieve the suddenness of the attack. After each attack group approaches the enemy, it should make full use of the powerful and sudden fire attack effect to launch a surprise attack from multiple directions, pounce on the enemy's position, and promptly throw into the in-depth attack group to develop an attack in the enemy's depth. The German officer continued to explain.

"What if we don't have powerful firepower and weaponry?" Duan Zhengfeng and a member of the Social Democratic Party came to be interested, raised his hand and asked questions.

The German official paused for a moment, glanced at Mu Han seriously, saw Mu Han's nodding expression, and said: "In this case, we should give full play to the subjective initiative of all officers and soldiers, and effectively mobilize the enemy with the high degree of mobility and flexibility of our own troops. The commander of the unit should accurately grasp the enemy's situation, analyze the terrain in depth, and accurately determine the exposed flanks of the enemy's defensive deployment, the interspersed areas in the defensive positions, and the sheltered terrain, so as to quickly carry out interspersed and detours that are beneficial to his own side. When conditions are favorable, the direction of the main attack should be chosen in the direction of the enemy's defensive flank to facilitate a roundabout attack, and the main force should be boldly used to carry out a roundabout attack and penetrate directly into the enemy's depth, so as to achieve the effect of "digging out the heart of the tiger."

Seeing that everyone seemed to have understood, Mu Han was also interested, and said: "In mountain warfare, the battle formation is easily fragmented by the terrain, and it is inconvenient to coordinate and support each other, and communication and liaison are also relatively difficult. In the face of these unfavorable factors, when determining the deployment of troops, the commander of the unit should, under the overall intention of the higher authorities, closely integrate the enemy situation and the terrain, and in line with the principle of being small and capable, highly composed, fully functional, and flexible in action, determine the strength of each battle group (team) so that all battle groups (teams) will have a relatively strong combat capability and sustained combat capability. When clarifying the tasks, each battle group (team) should be divided into divisions according to the direction, area of action, combat capability, enemy situation, and terrain conditions of each battle group (team), and the tasks should be distinguished according to the direction, region, or target, and the troops should be allocated. ”

"What if we are inferior to the enemy in terms of strength and weaponry, and we are facing a massive attack by the enemy at this time, and we cannot retreat easily?" Duan Zhengfeng was attracted by the unique teaching method of Longshan Military Academy, and also opened his mouth to ask questions.

"Hehe, then ask our commander-in-chief to tell me about his battle example in the German School! He is a recognized tactical mentor of our German officers! The official also looked like he was learning with an open mind, and wanted Mu Han to answer this question.

Mu Han glanced at Duan Zhengfeng meaningfully, and replied: "My battle example in Germany, because the instructor side does not know the real combat strength of the student side I lead, coupled with the magic of my Chinese martial arts, the instructor group of the German * school is very uncomfortable. Therefore, this example is not representative. As a matter of fact, in the face of the problem that the enemy is inferior in strength and weaponry, and that it is still necessary to effectively disintegrate the enemy's large-scale offensive, we must conduct a war of movement and annihilation on the basis of giving full play to the favorable time, place, and people. Movement warfare is a means of mobilizing the enemy and creating the enemy's illusion, thus playing the role of exhausting the enemy, luring the enemy, and disrupting the enemy's deployment. And the war of annihilation is its goal, and it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers of the enemy. Because only a war of annihilation can give the enemy the greatest shock and fundamentally weaken its combat effectiveness; Only a war of annihilation can obtain the supplies that our side lacks from the other side, so as to strengthen our forces and achieve the goal of becoming stronger and stronger. In order to annihilate the enemy, it is necessary to concentrate superior forces, adopt roundabout encirclement tactics, and selectively eat a part of the enemy. To put it simply, it is 32 words: the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase; Advance and retreat in great strides, lure the enemy deep, concentrate forces, and break through each one.

The first point of this tactic is to lure the enemy deeper. Why lure the enemy deeper? There are three reasons for this: First, we put the enemy in a place we are familiar with to fight in order to give full play to the advantages of the terrain and terrain to make up for the inferiority of our weapons and equipment. the second is to exhaust the enemy, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and also facilitate the concentration of our forces; The third is to discover the enemy's weaknesses in the course of the movement. The second point of this tactic is to break down individually. The enemy's large-scale offensive often adopts multiple separate attacks to compress our main forces to the central area and concentrate and annihilate them. In the face of a menacing and large number of enemies, the commander must be calm and composed, first choose one of them in the process of luring the enemy into depth, concentrate superior forces to annihilate them, and then destroy the others one by one. As for the path chosen first, either the enemy's weakness or the key point that affects the overall situation, it depends on the situation. ”

"That's right! Commander-in-Chief Mu is really a master, and your tactical views are almost exactly the same as the way we took in the first anti-encirclement campaign! Duan Zhengfeng's eyes widened violently.

Mu Han was secretly ashamed in his heart: as a standard military fan in later generations, he naturally had a clear understanding of Taizu's strategic and tactical thinking that had been tempered for thousands of years, and at this moment he was just a simple Uncle Chen
