Chapter 227: Marshal Ogarkov

Frunze Military Academy, the cradle of high-ranking Soviet officers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a well-known military academy, together with the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, the United States Military Academy at West Point and the French Military Academy in Saint-Cyr, known as the world's "four major military schools", in the early days of the school, it has trained talented commanders P.E. Debenko, E.N. Kovtyuk, B. D. Kovshov, N. C. Kudyakov, N. F. Fediko, B. N. Chapaev and others.

And now, most of the senior commanders of the Soviet army are alumni here, and at the same time, there are many high-ranking generals who are willing to come back here to teach as a honor.

Surrounded by pines and cypresses, a large auditorium in the center of the college is decades old, with mottled walls, and in the large auditorium, students sitting upright are listening to the explanation of an instructor in front.

The instructor, with his hair combed back and somewhat curled, had a broad face and a towering nose with a distinctly Slavic character.

The auditorium was full, and there were even people standing in the back, not only the students of the academy, but also many faculty members listening to the lectures.

There is no other reason, the person who was giving the speech in front of him was carrying the marshal's epaulette on his shoulder!

In the Soviet Union, the number of marshals was scarce, and even fewer were able to come to the Frunze Military Academy to give lectures, so most of the cadets and instructors of the academy, and even the leaders of the academy, as long as there were no classes, came here to listen to the lectures.

The Marshal of the Soviet Union who was giving a speech was none other than Nikolai Vasilyevich Ogarkov, who had just been promoted to marshal this year.

The old Bolshevik, born in 1917, joined the Soviet Army in '38 and fought in World War II. During the Great Patriotic War, he served in the army. He served as the director of the engineering corps of the regiment of the 17th Infantry Division when he fought on the Western Front, and in 41 he served as a senior engineer in the Engineering Department of the Karelian Front. Later, he served as the director of the engineering corps of the 61st Brigade of the Marine Corps. In December 42, he was appointed deputy chief of staff of the engineering corps of the 32nd group army, and in 43 he was appointed chief of the operational department of the engineering corps of the front army. In May 44, he served as the director of the engineering corps of the 122nd Infantry Division, and in November he was transferred to the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts in the south with the troops.

It can be seen that the main experience of this Marshal of the Soviet Union was in logistics, and after the war, he first served in the engineering troops of the Carpathian Military District. He was transferred to the Far Eastern Forces, and after completing his studies at the Military Academy of the General Staff of Voroshilov in 59, he served as the commander of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division of the Guards Cluster in Germany. Chief of Staff of the Belarusian Military District from 61, Commander of the Volga Military District in December 65, First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces in 68.

At that time, his greatest contribution was the establishment of the General Directorate of Strategic Deception of the Soviet Union, and he also managed and directed hundreds of military newspapers and periodicals such as "Red Star", "Soviet Union", "Standard-bearer", and "Weapons and Equipment". His task is to fool NATO, and some of them have to hide. What is not should be publicized with great fanfare.

In the later life, that is, Zhang Juzuo can be comparable to him.

Because of his outstanding contributions, in '74 he became Deputy Minister of Defense and Chairman of the Technical Committee, and in '77 he became First Deputy Minister of Defense and Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army. Promoted to Marshal of the Soviet Union.

This is a man full of legendary experiences, although now a marshal, has also reached the peak of his personal qualifications. Further back, it starts to go downhill. Because of different opinions, they have been repeatedly excluded.

"In the sixties and seventies. The US military's E-2 AWACS aircraft and other electronic warfare aircraft have been put into service one after another. The use of these aircraft effectively provides early warning in the air, and at the same time electronic jammers can also cause great trouble for the enemy. In March '72, the U.S. military used 15 laser-guided bombs to blow up Vietnam's Tsinghua Bridge, which had previously dispatched more than 700 planes and dropped about 12,000 tons of bombs. At this time, Marshal Ogarkov above, was giving a speech to the future commanders of the Red Empire: "What does all this mean? New science and technology will bring about changes in our army! "Just last year, American military theorist Tom Rona first proposed the concept of 'information warfare'. Guys, does anyone know what an information war is? Ogarkov's eyes looked at the hundreds of students in the auditorium, as well as the leaders in the front row, and now, the theory he put forward was the most novel.

The whole synagogue was silent.

As an academy for training future commanders of the Soviet army, a variety of new theories are allowed here, but most of the students and instructors still believe in the great depth theory of the Soviet Union, which is the treasure book of the Soviet army.

Soviet military strategists developed this doctrine on the basis of the experience of the First World War and the Civil War, emphasizing assault and pursuit, while taking into account counter-assault. This set of theories also guided the Soviet Union's victory in World War II. The Soviet Union had a vast land area and a large mechanized corps, and this set of theories was very much in line with the reality of the Soviet Union.

Now, what information war is being talked about? What is information warfare? I am afraid that none of the people present know.

Ogarkov looked at these people listening to the lecture with disappointment, saying that he still had many difficulties in popularizing modern military theories and leading the latest trend of military thought.

The USSR needed reforms, not only politically and economically at home, but also militarily! Only by seeing the advanced technology of the West and catching up head-on can we not be thrown off by the West! The Soviet army, seemingly huge, is actually lagging behind!

Just then, he saw a young officer below and raised his hand.

"Okay, comrade who raised his hand, you can tell me." Ogarkov was overjoyed.

"Information warfare is a struggle to seize and maintain the right to control information, and it also refers to a series of combat activities carried out by the hostile sides on the battlefield by exploiting and destroying the enemy's information system and protecting their own information systems in order to gain the right to obtain, control, and use information." The young officer said: "In combat, information is a crucial factor, for example, when we are engaged in tank battles, we know exactly where each of our combat vehicles is located, and we know the position of the enemy's tanks, so that we can command the battle more conveniently, we can give target instructions to each tank, and we can strike the enemy more accurately, and we can gain absolute initiative on the battlefield." That's the advantage of having information. (To be continued.) )

ps: ps: please stop worrying about how the officers of the air defense force know how to understand information warfare, the current chapter is to prepare for the bulldozing of Western Europe in the future, and at the same time to prepare for the upcoming political struggle, please support you!
