Chapter 109: Military Council

The reason why Mu Han highlighted the issue of comparison between the Long Wei Army and the SPD at today's meeting is because in the recent past, Mu Han has learned that due to the influence of various aspects, there is now a trend of arrogance within the Long Wei Army that is gradually spreading. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Of course, this is not to say that the officers and men of the Dragon Guard Army have begun to covet pleasure, but in the daily training of the Dragon Guard Army, many officers and soldiers rely too much on advanced weapons and sufficient logistical support, and the will to fight is degrading. In Mu Han's view, this is a sign that may inflict a fatal blow on the Dragon Guard, and it must be stifled and corrected, otherwise in future battles, this alone may cause unexpected damage to the Dragon Guard.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Since last year's war with Japan, we have achieved impressive results. So some people are starting to get fluttering. thinks that the Dragon Guard is the best in the world, and no one cares about it? It's dangerous! Is today's event accidental? Are we really perfect in our response and handling of emergencies? No! We're still far from it! Mu Han glanced at the people present with a solemn face, and then began to order, "Senior Commander Sun, you are the commander of the Dragon Ninth Division, and most of the battles with the Japanese last year were completed by your department, now you talk about your analysis and experience of this battle!" ”

"Yes! Commander! Sun Feng, the commander of the Dragon Ninth Division, respectfully saluted a military salute.

At this time, the generals at all levels who did not participate in the battle, especially Wu Peifu, Ye Ting, Sun Liren, Li Yuri and others who joined later, concentrated their spirits.

"Ladies and gentlemen! From the evening of September 17 last year, on September 21, we, the Dragon Ninth Division and the Air First Division, fought several battles with the Japanese one after another! Everyone knows the results, so I won't talk about it! But the battle process and details are worth pondering! Did you know? The commander-in-chief has been preparing for this battle for 6 years! Sun Feng said heavily.

"What?" Wu Peifu, Ye Ting, Sun Liren, Li Yuri and others, who later joined the Long Wei Army, as well as some generals who didn't know the truth, all opened their mouths wide and looked at Mu Han intently, which is too unbelievable!

"Brothers, 6 years have passed in one battle! From all aspects such as combat readiness, intelligence, weapons and equipment, the Dragon Guard Army has taken the lead, and we have completely occupied the right time, place and people! Therefore, if we can't win this battle, it is better to find a piece of tofu and choke to death by drinking cold water! ”

"Hahaha!" Sun Feng's joke caused everyone's laughter and diluted the serious atmosphere in the field.

"But!" Sun Feng's words changed, "We must not be complacent because of this!" If the commander-in-chief had not had been far-sighted and had not made arrangements in advance, if the special combat team had not eliminated the Japanese army's grassroots officers and a large number of arms reserves in advance, if the 1st Air Force Division had not destroyed the Japanese air force by surprise, and if there had not been the super-powerful artillery support that completely defeated the Japanese army, what would have been the outcome of this battle? I really can't imagine! Did you know? The commander-in-chief ambushed almost a regiment of soldiers in advance of the Fujikawa Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army! We have a clear understanding of the Japanese army's marching route, attack intentions, combat deployment, and combat readiness of troops and weapons! And what about the Japanese army? It can be said that nothing is known about our army! With the full assistance of the Polar Bear, the Blood Rose, the Dragon Guard, the Special Forces, and the 1st Air Division, which outperformed the Japanese army, it is not surprising that we achieved such results! Now I am thinking that if we and the Japanese army are basically equal in all aspects, and the Japanese army also has a clear understanding of the situation of our army, especially the special operation method, what will happen if we clash again? To be honest, I'm worried right now! ”

"Phew!" Everyone gasped, the shock brought to them by Sun Feng's words was too great! The growing pride and contempt for the enemy immediately dissipated. Oh, yes! In the past, the Dragon Guards occupied a large number of pioneers against the enemy, but now the Dragon Guards have been pushed to the forefront, removing the mysterious camouflage, and all forces at home and abroad are studying themselves! In the next battle, no matter who the opponent is, they will never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again! Therefore, if this trend is allowed to continue to spread, it is really hard to say what the battle of the Dragon Guard Army will be like in the future!

Mu Han saw that everyone in the audience began to bow his head and ponder, so he smiled and nodded, "Brothers, all robes!" Master Sun's words just now are by no means alarmist! Therefore, in view of the current trend of arrogance and extravagance in the army, we absolutely cannot allow it to spread! Therefore, the second order I have issued at today's meeting is that from tomorrow onwards, all units, from commanders at all levels down to ordinary soldiers, must carry out a campaign of reflection. We should reflect on our own problems and deficiencies in terms of careful thinking, our will to fight, and our work style and traditions, and put forward effective solutions and rectification measures. There is no time limit for this activity, and we will implement it as a fundamental system of the Dragon Guard Army in perpetuity! At the same time, since the Japanese army and other forces have gradually understood our army's combat methods, in order to prevent the enemy from adopting corresponding tactics against our army in future battles, all units at all levels must strengthen training in sabotage warfare, anti-infiltration operations, special operations, and other corresponding tactics from tomorrow onwards! Temporary sudden offensive and defensive exercises with squads, platoons, and companies as combat units are carried out from time to time without predetermined plans! Let's see, is there anything to add to this question? ”

In the face of Mu Han's question, all the military commanders frowned.

After a while, Li Yuri, who had been appointed as the deputy chief of the general staff of the Long Wei Army, cleared his throat and said, "Commander-in-chief! Dear colleagues, After joining the Dragon Guard, I trained with the new recruits and the preliminarily selected special forces fighters for several months, and systematically studied and studied some of our army's training theories and military ideas. However, I have found that in their daily training and combat exercises, our troops rely too much on the use of special forces and super firepower strikes, and lack the mental and tactical preparation to fight tough battles under difficult conditions and in the absence of logistical supplies and ammunition. Although now we have sufficient financial and material reserves and a first-class military scientific research and production system, we can basically achieve self-sufficiency in all weapons! But in modern warfare, anything can happen! In the event that one day we have an economic crisis, the chain of funds and materials is broken, and the military industrial production enterprises suffer fatal damage, or in other words, in the possible battles in the future, the first section of our army is encircled and the rear is lost, and the arms and materials cannot be effectively supplied, how much can our combat effectiveness be exerted at that time? We have to guard against it! Therefore, I suggest that our army should learn from the combat training experience of some SPD troops, because they were able to win battle victories again and again and establish base areas under such difficult conditions. At the same time, with regard to the problem that the enemies and potential adversaries of all sides, including the Japanese army, have gradually come to understand our combat methods, I suggest that on the basis of doing a good job in our own problems, we should continue to consolidate and strengthen the relationship between our army and the masses of the people, and hide our troops from the people. Although, we're doing pretty well now! However, after all, the combat effectiveness of the reserve militia is far from that of the regular army, let alone compared with elite forces such as special forces. In the future, the enemy on all sides will certainly adopt the method of special operations of our army and carry out surprise attacks on our army's garrisons, defense lines, and important strategic targets. No matter how good our standing defense forces, such as light and dark sentinels, mobile posts, and patrols, can still be porous. However, before the enemy can reach the purpose of the operation, he must pass through the territory of the common people, and if we hide a strange army in the homes of the masses, in the countryside, and in the mountains of strategic and military significance, their vigilance, reconnaissance, and counter-reconnaissance capabilities will be far stronger than that of the ordinary people and the reserve militia. At that time, it will not be so easy for any enemy to enter our possessions, and we can also grasp the absolute initiative. ”

"Good!" After listening to Li Yuri's words, Mu Han immediately stood up and clapped with both hands, "I really deserve my chief of staff!" Your point of view is very much in line with the idea of the people's war! ”

"People's war?" All the generals, including Li Yuri, were confused.

Mu Han saw everyone's reaction, and suddenly felt ashamed in his heart. "Actually, the people's war is nothing new! But I only recently heard a friend from the SPD introduce it to me. The reason why the SPD has been able to win one military victory after another is that the people's war is their only magic weapon. The essence of the people's war was born along with the emergence of class society. There is a great military strategist and thinker who once called the war of King Wu of Zhou during the Yin Shang period of our country "the people's liberation war at that time". Marx and Engels, famous foreign politicians and thinkers, called the Spartacist slave revolt in ancient Rome and the wars of the people of Italy, Prussia and Spain against the aggression of Napoleon I in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as the people's war. Of course, people's war is by no means a means of simply using the will of the people to achieve the overthrow of political power, the change of dynasty, and the realization of certain political goals by a military bloc or a certain force. Strictly speaking, from the perspective of military philosophy, the fundamental reason for the occurrence of the people's war and the supreme principle guiding its conduct are the "justice" of the war, the "mass nature" of participating in the war, and the "integrity" of the practice of war. Resolutely relying on the people and fully mobilizing the people is the core soul of the people's war. The deepest roots of the greatness of war lie in the people. Mobilizing and organizing the broad masses of the people to participate in and support the revolutionary war is the basic condition for waging the people's war. As far as the actual situation of our Dragon Guard Army is concerned, our main task at present is to completely eliminate the Japanese aggressors who have invaded our country. In this war, the most persecuted and most persecuted are ordinary people! Therefore, in order to win this war, to free the common people who have been bullied and oppressed from the clutches of the Japanese, to closely rely on the masses and mobilize the masses in an all-round way is our first choice to win this war. This is because the broad masses of the people are the main body of the war, and it is also the broad masses of the people who decide the outcome of the war. In fact, the outcome of any war is determined by the political, economic, military, physical geography, and subjective guidance capabilities of the opposing sides. In the final analysis, this decisive role should be embodied through the masses of the people. From the point of view of political factors, the role of the nature of war should be reflected through the attitude of the masses of the people towards the war, and the political factors of war play a role in the long-term role of the people's support and determine the outcome of the war. From the perspective of economic factors, war depends on the economy, and the economy is the material basis of war. However, the economic conditions and material basis depend on the broad masses of the people to produce, create, and transport them to the front. It is precisely through the production enthusiasm of the masses of the people that the economic factor of war plays a long-term role and determines the outcome of the war. Judging from military factors, the masses of the people fundamentally determine the strength of military strength. If the masses of the people are closely integrated with the army, they will have an overall advantage in defeating the enemy, and they will be able to make up for the shortcomings in weaponry and equipment. The military factor of war plays a role in determining the outcome of a war precisely through the degree of cooperation of the masses of the people with the army for a long time. Judging from the natural geographical factors, the masses of the people are most familiar with the natural geographical conditions of the theater, and which side they stand on will directly affect the degree to which the natural geographical conditions are utilized, and then the victory or defeat of the war. To use a simple analogy, in a battle, the strength of the enemy and us is about the same, but if we have the strong support of the people, the common people help us transport supplies, arms and ammunition, help us take care of the wounded, light fires and cook, and help us stand guard! How many troops have we added? You can do the math! ”

"Buzz!" After hearing Mu Han's theory, everyone in the audience began to whisper and whisper. Especially the generals who joined the Longwei Army from all domestic forces, as well as the older generation of forces in Wolong Mountain, they have never seriously thought about this issue! After Mu Han said this, everyone was stunned by the tremendous power and effect of the people's war.

Mu Han was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and did not say anything more at the moment, but asked everyone to think about it.

After a long time, Wu Peifu first stood up straight, and said slowly with a deep gaze: "Commander-in-chief!" It's really ambitious not to be old! After listening to your theoretical opinions, I really have a feeling of seeing the light of day. It's really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years! In the past, Wu thought that his ability to lead troops to fight was no worse than anyone else's! As for the reasons for his defeat, he only considered factors such as the quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, and political influence, and really did not take into account the influence of ordinary people. What a shame! If Wu had come into contact with the theory of the people's war and carried it forward, Wu would have the confidence to defeat all opponents! I now finally understand why the commander-in-chief implemented such a preferential civil administration policy in the anti-Japanese government in the northwest! 'Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat'! The ancients did not deceive me! ”

Mu Han smiled slightly, "Yu Shuai, to put it mildly, in the past, you domestic warlords thought all day long that you would fight me and I would fight your territory, all from your own interests, and you didn't think about the feelings of ordinary people under your rule at all!" So you've all failed! In fact, the current Kuomintang is also repeating your old path! I dare to conclude that if the Kuomintang authorities continue to govern the country in this way, they will eventually leave the temple! Perished in the vast sea of the people. ”

Wu Peifu nodded fiercely, "Commander-in-chief!" I believe what you say! ”

"Okay, about the ideology and theory of the people's war, I will sort it out after the meeting and distribute it to everyone. At the Yongsan Military Academy, I will also explain in more detail! Now for the second agenda of today's meeting, the comprehensive reorganization of the Dragon Guard Army! ”

"Brush" all the participants, all with their chests up, sit upright!
