"Let me introduce you!" Commander Zhang grabbed the microphone and said, "This is Comrade Yang Xuefeng...... I won't say much about his deeds, the former commander of the second heroic company is the second heroic company who has been on newspapers and television...... Comrade Yang Xuefeng is now the battalion commander of the synthetic battalion. I would like to add...... Battalion Commander Yang is the urgent vanguard of the reform of our military region, and many of his views and ideas are very special and novel, but they are also very much in line with the needs of our army's reform, so he ...... I'd like to ask him to speak on my behalf! ”

A round of applause soon erupted, and then a female soldier stepped forward and handed me the microphone.

"This ......" I admitted that I was a little nervous when I took the microphone, because by this time I already knew that there were all division commanders, army commanders, and commanders at this meeting, and I was afraid that there were only a few regiment commanders here...... So this aura is indeed a little different, and I feel like I'm a stranger.

"Greetings, chiefs!" I said, "I'm a rough man...... I can't say anything other than being able to fight......"

"Just say it!" Commander Zhang said with a smile: "What we are talking about today is fighting, not any big truth!" All of the people sitting here have been soldiers, and they all like to be cheerful...... Don't be a mother-in-law! ”

"I said Lao Zhang!" The officer sitting next to Commander Zhang interjected: "If someone just says a word, they will let you interrupt, and people like you can't say anything!" ”

"Coax!" All the cadres in the venue burst out laughing.

Somehow, I felt a lot more relaxed by this laugh, and I thought that we had come down from the battlefield anyway, and the enemy's guns were not afraid...... Still having stage fright in this meeting?

So he puffed up his chest and said, "Chiefs. Here's what I think...... It's not impossible to lure the enemy deeper. There is a real possibility that this will be a protracted battle. But I don't think we're going to take advantage of the long game! ”

As soon as I said this, there was a lot of discussion in the room.

"Tell me about Weishenme?" An officer asked.

"When we used to fight a protracted war, we fought Little Japan!" I said, "Japan is a country with a huge shortage of resources, and it is a small country, and they cannot afford to spend their resources and cannot afford to drag ...... So it was right to fight little Japan with a protracted war. But we are now facing the Soviet Union, which is a large country, rich in resources, well populated, and much more developed than our country, both economically and militarily. Fully capable of fighting a protracted battle! ”

Several officers nodded frequently and whispered: "It makes sense, the opponent is different, we fought against Little Japan for eight years...... The current Soviet Union is much stronger than small Japan, and it will not have to be fought for decades to fight a protracted war? At that time, I am afraid that if the enemy does not fall, we will collapse first! ”

Of course, this makes sense, you must know that the Soviet Union at this time was able to compete with the United States for a long time, and it was the Soviet Union that attacked and defended the United States, and at the same time, the facts proved ...... The Soviet Union was able to hold out for 10 years despite its indirect and direct involvement in the wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Of course, if China were to fight a protracted war with the Soviet Union...... The Soviet Union may not hold out for ten years. But the Soviet Union is not a fool, if it has already started a protracted war with China, a big country. Investments in the Afghan direction will naturally decrease.

"On the contrary, the situation in our China is not very suitable for fighting a protracted war......," I continued: "First of all, the protracted war is fought in terms of comprehensive national strength, and the comparison is to see who can hold out to Zuihou, and in this respect China is obviously inferior to the Soviet Union."

Secondly...... I believe that if the Soviet Union were to attack our country, we would not be attacked on two sides, but on three sides......"

"There is also the sea!" The cadre known as Commander Huang agreed.

"Yes!" I said: "When little Japan attacked our country, it used its navy to blockade our coastal areas, so that the assistance of other countries to our country was basically interrupted...... Then of course, they will block our sea communications with the Navy and attack our coastal cities, and our political, economic, industrial ...... All concentrated in the north and coastal areas...... If the strategy of luring the enemy into the depths is adopted, there is no doubt that you will be putting your economic lifeline and important foundation in the hands of the enemy! On the contrary, the Soviet Union did not have problems in this regard, so the war is likely to develop into a situation in which the Soviet Union is getting stronger and stronger, while we are fighting harder and weaker! ”

As soon as my voice ended, the venue became chaotic, and everyone was talking about what I had just said.

After a while, Commander Zhang nodded and said, "The situation is different now, if we use the lure enemy to go deeper...... The consequences are unimaginable......

First, the enemy's rapid occupation of China's strategic points is not conducive to maintaining our national confidence and morale.

Second, it can easily lead the enemy to occupy coastal cities and political-industrial centers...... This will greatly weaken and paralyze our war resources and potential, which will not be conducive to a protracted war, and even these resources will be owned by the enemy, causing our army to fall into greater passivity.

Third, our army retreats to the hinterland to fight, and the contrast between the enemy's strength and our weakness will be more obvious, increasing the danger of the rapid deterioration of the war situation! ”

"Commander Zhang!" Commander Huang objected: "You must know that the current situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, if we do not lure the enemy into the depths, we will not give up the north and the coast...... Is it still a battle to the death with the Soviet army? Such a result will only allow the Soviet army to annihilate our life as quickly as possible, and then the north and the coast will still have to give up! ”

It should be said that the officer's analysis is also justified...... Because the facts are in front of us, the Soviet Union is much stronger than us in terms of equipment, troops, and quality, so if we stick to it...... As a result, the troops were annihilated one by one, and Zuihou's political center or economic lifeline had to be abandoned!

"Commander Huang is right!" Some officers also agreed with Commander Huang and said, "Battalion Commander Yang's analysis is indeed reasonable...... Luring the enemy deep will cause great losses to our country, and even set our economy back by several decades...... But there is always a price to pay for fighting, and instead of throwing all your forces to the border for the enemy to eat, it is better to keep alive and deal with the enemy...... Our army has a tradition of fighting a protracted war, fighting with little Japan for eight years, plus fighting the Kuomintang for 11 years, and fighting a protracted war to resist US aggression and aid Korea...... That's what we're good at! Let's fight with the enemy with perseverance and spirit! ”

Then there was another debate in the venue, some in favor of luring the enemy into the depths, and some against...... That's a lot of fighting!

Actually, I know...... Although the officers knew that there were many shortcomings in luring the enemy into depth, they still insisted on using it, partly because they did not have a more strategic strategy, and partly because they could not do it, and partly because they were ...... It is because this strategy is the tradition of our army, and it has also been tested in practice and defeated the opponent again and again on the battlefield in the past.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Commander Huang asked, "If you think it's not okay to lure the enemy deeper...... Then do you have a more haode method! ”

I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but fortunately, I'm a modern person and know a lot more than these cadres...... What's more, some of the things I know are still proven to be correct and implemented.

So I said, "The first thing we need to think about is...... Is it possible to trade with other countries even if the coastline is blocked by the enemy...... When we fought Little Japan, there were so many anti-fascist countries in Shijie who supported us, but their support could not be transported to us because the coastline was blocked by the Japanese army...... Among them, we did open a road between China and Burma, but the volume of transportation was pitiful, and it was easily blocked by the enemy's air liliang. In the past, small Japan could do this, the current USSR could do this, and in the future any of our enemies could do this...... So, in the long run, we have to open up a relatively safe, reliable, high-volume and not easily blocked channel! ”

"This passage is already there!" Commander Zhang said: "It is the China-Pakistan Highway...... You're right, we thought about this before, so we just finished the road last year! ”

"Oh!" I nodded.

Actually, I'm talking about the China-Pakistan highway, Pakistan is a friendly country of China, build such a highway to Pakistan, and then the other end of Pakistan is the Indian Ocean...... As a result, it will be very difficult for the enemy country to blockade it.

Of course, roads are far from sufficient...... Its transportation volume is completely unable to meet the operational needs of an army of several millions, so it is only in modern times that railways and oil pipelines are built.

"It's so much easier to have such a passage!" I said, "Here's what I think...... Now the situation between China and the Soviet Union is that the Soviet Union is raiding, and our army is defending...... The advantage of a raid is that it is strategically proactive, and its troops and military jishu are well prepared and can be carried out relatively well. From our side...... Although preparations are made to counter aggression, our army's command system, communications facilities, and transportation hubs will inevitably be damaged and lost. But defense also has the advantage of defense, and in defense ...... We can pin down a large number of enemies with a small number of troops, making it difficult for them to advance forward or move slowly...... That is, to stop the enemy's long-distance advance by means of positional warfare, movement warfare, guerrilla warfare, etc., so as to gain enough time to cover the country's transition to a wartime system...... For example, the mobilization of the whole people, the expansion of troops, the relocation of factories, etc., and at the same time vigorously open up transportation channels in the rear, so that we can have the conditions and foundation for a protracted war with the enemy! ”

All the cadres couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, this method is obviously better than luring the enemy deep or holding on! (To be continued......)
