blood of vietnam war

"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 company commander of the Second Company of Heroes is a hero who has been featured in newspapers and on TV." The second company...Comrade Yang Xuefeng is now the battalion commander of the synthetic battalion. What I want to add is...Yang Battalion Commander is the vanguard of the reform of our military region. He has many unique and innovative views and ideas, but they are very suitable for me. The need for military reform, so... I would like to invite him to express my views on my behalf!"

"Wow!" There was applause soon, and then a female soldier stepped forward and handed the microphone to me.

"This..." When I took the microphone, I admitted that I was a little nervous, because by then I already knew that all the people sitting in this meeting were division commanders, army commanders, and commanders. I'm afraid there are not many regimental leaders here. ...So the aura is indeed a little different, and I feel that I am a different person.

"Hello, chiefs!" I said, "I'm a rough man... I can't make any sense except that I know how to fight..."

"You just say it!" Commander Zhang said with a smile: "What we are talking about today is fighting, not talking about big principles! Everyone sitting here has been a soldier, and they all like to be straightforward...Don't be a mother-in-law!"

"I'm talking about Lao Zhang!" The officer sitting next to Commander Zhang interjected, "He just said a word, but you interrupted him. If you're like him, he won't be able to say anything!"

With a sound of "Coax!", all the cadres in the venue laughed.

For some reason, I felt a lot more relaxed when I was laughed at, and I thought we had walked off the battlefield anyway.The enemy's guns are not afraid... Are you still stage fright at a meeting here?

So he puffed up his chest and said: "Commanders, my thoughts are like this... It is not impossible to lure the enemy deep. This is indeed very likely to be a protracted war, but I don't think we will take advantage of the protracted war! "[

As soon as I said this, there was a burst of discussion in the venue.

"Tell me why?" an officer asked.

"When we used the protracted war before, we fought a small Japan!" I said: "Japan is a country with scarce resources, and it is still a small country. Their resources cannot be consumed or delayed...so we use the protracted war It is right to fight a small Japan. But what we are facing now is the Soviet Union, which is a big country with rich resources and sufficient population. Moreover, it is much more developed than my country in terms of economy and military, and is fully capable of fighting a protracted war!"

Several officers nodded frequently, and said in a low voice: "It makes sense, the opponent is different. Back then we fought Little Japan for eight years... Now the Soviet Union is much stronger than Little Japan, so we have to fight a protracted war." Ten years? I'm afraid that before the enemy collapses, we ourselves will collapse first!"

This of course makes sense.You must know that the Soviet Union at this time was able to compete with the United States, and it was the Soviet Union that attacked the United States and defended it. At the same time, the facts also proved that...the Soviet Union can still persist for ten years when it indirectly and directly participated in the war on the two battlefields of Vietnam and Afghanistan. .

Of course, if China joins in to fight a protracted war with the Soviet Union...the Soviet Union may not be able to persist for ten years, but the Soviet Union is not a fool. If it has already launched a protracted war with a big country like China.The investment in Afghanistan will naturally decrease.

"On the contrary, our situation in China is not very suitable for a protracted war..." I continued: "First of all, the protracted war is about comprehensive national strength, and the comparison is to see who can last to the end, and China is obviously inferior to the Soviet Union in this regard.

Secondly... I believe that if the Soviet Union wants to attack our country, our country will not only be attacked on two sides, but should be attacked on three sides..."

"The other side is the sea!" The cadre known as Commander Huang agreed.

"Yes!" I said, "When little Japan attacked our country, it used its navy to block our coast, so that other countries' aid to our country was basically interrupted. Now if the Soviet Union wants to attack our country, the Soviet navy is obviously stronger than ours. If the army is strong...then of course they will use the navy to block our sea traffic and attack our coastal cities, and our politics, economy, industry...all are concentrated in the north and along the coast...then if we adopt the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep, it will be doubtful I have handed over my economic lifeline and important foundation to the enemy! On the contrary, the Soviet Union has no such problems, so the war is very likely to develop into a situation where the Soviet Union is getting stronger and stronger while we are fighting harder and harder and getting weaker!"

With a sound of "coaxing", as soon as I finished speaking, the venue immediately became chaotic, and everyone was whispering about what I just said.

After a while, Commander Zhang nodded and said: "The situation is different now, if we continue to lure the enemy into deeper...the consequences will be disastrous...

First, the enemy's rapid occupation of our strategic locations is not conducive to our maintenance of national confidence and morale;

Second, easily causing the enemy to occupy coastal cities and political and industrial centers...will greatly weaken and paralyze our country's war resources and potential, which is not conducive to protracted warfare, and even these resources will be owned by the enemy, making our army fall into greater passivity.

Third, our army retreats to the hinterland to fight, and the power balance between the enemy's strong and our weak will become more obvious, increasing the danger of the rapid deterioration of the battle situation! "[

"Commander Zhang!" Commander Huang objected: "We must know that the current situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak. If we don't lure the enemy to go deep and don't give up the north and the coast... Are we still fighting to the death with the Soviet army? Such a result will only make the Soviet army Use the fastest speed to annihilate my remaining forces, and then the north and the coast will have to give up!"

It should be said that the officer's analysis is also reasonable... because the facts are before our eyes, the Soviet Union is much better than ours in terms of equipment, military strength and quality, so if we stick to it... the result is that the troops will be wiped out one by one, In the end, the political center or economic lifeline still has to be given up!

"Commander Huang is right!" Some military officers also agreed with Commander Huang, "Battalion Commander Yang's analysis is indeed reasonable...Luring the enemy to go deep will cause great losses to our country, and even set our economy back for decades...But There has always been a price to be paid for fighting wars. Instead of throwing all our troops to the border to be eaten by the enemy, it is better to preserve our vitality and deal with the enemy... Our army has a tradition of fighting protracted wars. We have fought against Little Japan for eight years. It has been 11 years since we fought against the KMT, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is also a protracted war... This is our strength! We will compete with the enemy in perseverance and spirit!"

As a result, there was another debate in the venue, some agreed to lure the enemy deeper, and some opposed... It was a hot debate!

In fact, I know... Although the officers know that there are many shortcomings in luring the enemy, they still insist on using it. Part of the reason is that there is no better strategy so they can't do it. The other part of the reason... is because This strategy is a tradition of our army, and it has been tested in practice to defeat opponents time and time again in past battlefields.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Commander Huang asked: "If you think it's not enough to lure the enemy into deep...then do you have a better way!"

It’s a bit embarrassing for me to say this, but fortunately, I am a modern person and know much more than these cadres... More importantly, some of the things I know are correct after repeated demonstrations and have been implemented .

So I said: "The first thing we need to consider is...whether we can trade with other countries when the coastline is blocked by the enemy...When we beat Japan, there were so many anti-fascist countries in the world to support it We, but their support cannot be transported to us because the coastline was blocked by the Japanese army... Among them, we have indeed opened up a China-Myanmar road, but the transport volume is pitifully small, and it is easy to be transported by the enemy. Air power blockade. Little Japan could do this in the past, the Soviet Union can do it now, and any of our enemies can do it in the future... Therefore, in the long run, we must open up a relatively safe, reliable, large-capacity and difficult-to-reach route. The blocked passage!"

"This passage already exists!" Commander Zhang said, "It's the China-Pakistan Highway... You are right, we have considered this before, so we just completed this highway last year!"

"Oh!" I nodded.

In fact, what I am talking about is the China-Pakistan Highway. Pakistan is a friendly country of China. If such a road is built to lead to Pakistan, then the other side of Pakistan is the Indian Ocean...so it is very difficult for the enemy country to block it.

Of course, roads are far from enough... Its transportation volume cannot meet the combat needs of an army of several million, so it is only in modern times that railways and oil pipelines are built.

"It's much easier to have such a channel!" I said: "My idea is this... The current situation between China and the Soviet Union is that the Soviet Union raids, and our army defends... The advantage of surprise raids is that they are strategically active. Its military strength and military technology are fully prepared and can be well deployed. As far as we are concerned... Although we have anti-aggression preparations, our army's command system, communication facilities, transportation hubs, etc. will inevitably At this time, it is obvious that the enemy is strong and we are weak. But defense also has the advantage of defense. In defense...we can use a small number of troops to contain a large number of enemies, making it difficult for the enemy to advance. Or the speed of advancement is slow... that is, to use positional warfare, mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare, etc. to prevent the enemy from driving straight in, and buy enough time to cover the country's transition to a wartime system...such as mobilization of the whole people, expansion of troops, factory relocation, etc. At the same time, we will vigorously open up transportation channels in the rear, so that we can have the conditions and basis to carry out a protracted war with the enemy!"

All the cadres couldn't help but fell silent when they heard the words. This method is obviously better than luring the enemy to go deep or stick to it! (to be continued...)
