Chapter 973: Ancient Tactics
- Mao Weiyuan didn't answer his question immediately, and said in a smug voice: "The Evil Zerg is a special and novel enemy that we humans have never encountered before, and we can't use the conventional methods to deal with such an enemy, and we must go beyond the conventional and treat it with extraordinary means. ”
"With our current strength, compared to the evil Zerg, there is actually a big difference, although we have the advantage of human sea tactics, but our weapons are too backward to be compared with the Zerg warships, so this is doomed that we cannot compete with the other side head-on, but must adopt an attack-based offensive method!"
"Fighting head-on with the evil Zerg will only cause us heavy losses, and our way of fighting must avoid this, but should have a high degree of mobility, suddenness, flexibility, initiative, offense and quick decision, with attack as the main means of combat!"
Hearing these words, Jiang Ping nodded again and again, his eyes flashed, thoughtful, and his heart shook.
Mao Weiyuan continued: "In fact, the tactics I am talking about were not new in the old century, but they were very famous, but with the passage of time, mankind has entered the interstellar age, and such tactical methods have fallen far behind the times, so that they have gradually disappeared in the long river of history and are about to be completely forgotten. ”
"This tactical method, summed up, is sixteen words!"
"Sixteen words? Which sixteen words? Jiang Ping couldn't help but ask.
Mao Weiyuan said word by word: "These sixteen words are 'The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, and the enemy is tired and I fight.'" The enemy retreats, I chase'! ”
"This is guerrilla warfare!"
"The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy is stationed and disturbs me. When the enemy is tired, I fight, and when the enemy retreats, I chase?! ”
Jiang Ping's eyes lit up when he heard it. It was as if lightning flashed in the night, and his expression was moved, although it was only a simple sixteen words, but he still faintly felt that there were rich and incisive philosophies and thoughts flashing inside, just like the evening drum and morning bell, which suddenly woke him up, and made his vague and scattered thoughts that had been vaguely and elusive before suddenly become clear and coherent!
Right. That's what I've been looking for!
His expression suddenly became extremely excited, and he paced rapidly through the room with excitement for a while.
"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! Well, that's great! ”
"If the Zerg attack, we will retreat, and if the Zerg retreat, we will pursue. If the Zerg wants to devour life, we will harass, and when the Zerg is tired, we will fight hard! ”
He started muttering there. The eyebrows are flying, and the hands are dancing.
I was excited for a while, and I looked up and saw Mao Weiyuan standing aside smiling. I couldn't help shouting and said, "General Mao." The 'sixteen-character formula' you mentioned is undoubtedly a peerless weapon for us to deal with this Zerg now. You can even think of such a subtle '16-character formula', which is really worthy of the words "military genius"! ”
Mao Weiyuan smiled slightly and said, "Commander, you are wrong, this 'sixteen-character formula' was not what I thought of, it was created by a great man in the old century. ”
Jiang Ping couldn't help but ask again: "So, who is this great man?" ”
Mao Weiyuan said the name of the great man.
After Jiang Ping heard this, he naturally knew the Tao, but he didn't know that this great man had created such a wonderful and incisive "Sixteen-Character Formula".
And this is not surprising. Although this "16-character formula" of guerrilla warfare was famous in the old century, almost a household name, and everyone knew it, with the passage of time, mankind has entered the interstellar age, and scientific and technological civilization and methods of warfare have also undergone earth-shaking changes, and guerrilla warfare like this has fallen behind the times a lot, so that it is like a dusty sword that has gradually lost its brilliance and is about to be forgotten.
In the interstellar era, warfare focused on group operations, frontal operations, large-scale and upright positional warfare, concentrated firepower, and the development of a set of regular and perfect interstellar combat modes with superior forces to give priority to destroying the enemy's vital forces.
If Jiang Ping had been a regular cadet who had specialized in tactical theory, he might have been able to come into contact with guerrilla warfare, an ancient and outdated method of warfare.
However, he did not come from a regular cadet in a military academy, but was only a crash course cadet in a military academy, and in just one year of study and training at a military academy, he only learned specific interstellar combat methods, and it was impossible to understand the ancient and outdated combat methods of guerrilla warfare.
Even military cadets who specialize in the study of tactical methods and theories may mention to the cadets the ancient and outdated combat method of guerrilla warfare in their classes, but they only regard it as a historical term, and it is impossible to elaborate on it, because guerrilla warfare, an ancient and outdated combat method, has long been outdated in the interstellar era and has almost no military value.
As a matter of fact, even in the current army, there are very few commanders who can know the 16-character formula of guerrilla warfare and the way of the road.
And from what Mao Weiyuan said, it can be seen that he has a very good understanding of this set of guerrilla warfare tactics, and he actually attaches great importance to it, otherwise he would not have keenly discovered the great value of this set of guerrilla warfare tactics at this moment when mankind was facing the war of the evil zerg, and proposed it to Jiang Ping, which has to be said to be an outlier.
Jiang Ping is not Mao Weiyuan, nor is he a general who specializes in tactical tactics from a professional background, so it is not surprising that he does not know the "sixteen-character formula" of Lu Dao.
But now, Jiang Ping was completely shocked and impressed by this "sixteen-character formula", this is completely a magic weapon tailored for him in the predicament at the moment, a big gift sent to him, a big problem that plagues him at the moment, and it is a peerless weapon for human beings to deal with this evil zerg!
At this moment, he had a strong urge to learn more about this guerrilla warfare and the combat methods and methods of the "16-character formula," and he immediately couldn't wait to mention it to Mao Weiyuan, asking him to explain to him in detail the means and methods of this guerrilla warfare.
Mao Weiyuan naturally did not refuse, and immediately said to the other party like a few treasures.
Jiang Ping listened attentively, listened very carefully, and did not let go of a word.
"In short, the basic principles of guerrilla warfare are not to fight the enemy head-on, to take attack operations as the main means of combat, to rationally choose the place of operation, to rapidly deploy troops, to rationally allocate troops, to rationally choose the timing of operations, and to retreat quickly after the battle is over!"
Mao Weiyuan said this, and combined with the current reality, he said: "Now, we have to deal with the evil Zerg, which is a very powerful enemy, but it also has relative weaknesses. That is, when it transforms into a Zerg warship, it will be very powerful, and it is difficult for our weapon power to destroy, at this time, it is not suitable to fight them head-on, but when it returns to the form of an ordinary Zerg descendant, it is relatively weak, at this time, it is something that our weapon power can destroy. ”
"It is impossible for the evil Zerg to maintain the form of the Zerg warship all the time, because maintaining the operation of a battleship requires a huge amount of energy, which will continue to consume its energy, so its normal state is still the ontological form of its Zerg descendant, and it also needs to continue to devour the vitality of the planet in order to continuously grow itself, so it has no ability to pursue us, and in the short term, it can only stick to this Eden Star planet."
"So, that gives us the opportunity to destroy them. As long as we choose a reasonable combat opportunity, attack quickly, retreat decisively, make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, avoid the real and attack the weak, and make full use of the 16-character tactical idea of 'the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase', we will be able to strike at the evil Zerg to the greatest extent at the lowest cost, and finally win the victory in this war with the evil Zerg! ”
"Of course, we still have to see that this war with the evil zerg is long and arduous, the evil zerg is not stupid, on the contrary, its learning ability is very strong, for our guerrilla warfare, it will undoubtedly develop corresponding countermeasures, we have to guard against it. On the basis of following the general principle of guerrilla warfare, it is still necessary to constantly explore, change, and improve the specific combat methods and methods in actual operations. ”
Mao Weiyuan talked all the way, Jiang Ping nodded again and again when he heard it, and felt that he had benefited a lot, and he had a sense of hating each other for this guerrilla warfare and the sixteen-character formula.
At this point, he had basically determined that for a considerable period of time in the future, he would adopt this principle of guerrilla warfare in the fight against the evil Zerg.
After Mao Weiyuan finished his remarks, he said: "General Mao, I will immediately inform the whole army of this operational principle of guerrilla warfare, which will be the general operational principle of our battle against the evil Zerg for a long time!" In the future, when fighting battles, we must follow this principle of guerrilla warfare! ”
Mao Weiyuan listened to this, and was very relieved in his heart, before he came, he was still worried that although he thought that guerrilla warfare was the best means of combat in the face of the evil Zerg now, but he looked at it this way, it did not mean that others would definitely accept it, and whether he could convince the young commander in front of him was not much before he came.
But now it seemed that he had been too worried before, and the young commander in front of him, after hearing his account, agreed unreservedly.
"In addition, General Mao, now I officially appoint you as the chief of the general staff of the human extermination of the Zerg Force, and I am fully responsible for the training and promotion of guerrilla warfare tactics and methods in the whole army!" Jiang Ping said again.
In the past, Mao Weiyuan was only a low-ranking ordinary staff officer of the General Staff Headquarters, but now, he has become the chief of the General Staff, which is not a big jump, which can also show that Jiang Ping attaches great importance to this guerrilla war and his people at this moment!
