Chapter 51 The Way of the Volunteers to Victory: Overcoming the Enemy's Weaknesses with Their Own Strengths

Accompanied by the sound of ticking horns, volunteers poured into the small Yunshan City from all directions, and started a fierce street battle with the US military. Street fighting, bayonet fighting, and American soldiers carrying cannons are not good. And this is what Mao Zedong and Peng Dehuai wanted: Maximize the strengths of the Volunteer Army and the weaknesses of the U.S. military; Avoid the shortcomings of the Volunteer Army to the extreme, and avoid the strengths of the US military to the extreme. This kind of military philosophy is not only applicable to war, but also to modern commercial warfare.Bosses and managers who are doing business now should learn from Mao Zedong and Peng Dehuai's tactics.

Under the wild pursuit and indiscriminate fighting of the volunteers, the U.S. military quickly couldn't hold on and tried to flee south. But at this time, the way back was broken.The 345th Regiment of the Volunteer Army has seized the Zhuren Bridge on the way for the US troops to escape. The fierce battle continued until the early morning of November 2, when the U.S. 8th Cavalry Regiment, who couldn't figure out what was going on, was compressed in a narrow open field south of Yunshan Mountain, and started a scuffle with the volunteers. Armament is an American forte.The strength of defeating the enemy is to contain the weapons and equipment of the US army.

According to the tactics formulated in advance by Peng Dehuai and other leaders of the Volunteer Army, the best way to contain the mechanized equipment of the US army and prevent it from being effective is to block the road. How to block? American tanks cannot be stopped by flesh and blood. The Chinese soldier's approach is: let the big American tanks stop themselves. This method is the easiest. Because it is the simplest and the most brilliant. First, the Volunteers concentrated their blasting tubes and destroyed a howitzer tractor walking in front, and then destroyed a wrecker tank.

A waste truck and a waste tank lay ahead, blocking the entire highway.The tanks and howitzers on this road were moving forward, unable to move, only anxious and in a mess. what to do?In order to avoid complete annihilation, the deputy head of the US 8th regiment, Edson, ordered: throw away heavy equipment and disperse the breakout. The meaning is clear: Brothers, let’s go our separate ways. tank thrown; the truck was thrown; The howitzer was thrown. In fact, being blocked by the volunteers just now, it is just that they can't use their strengths, after all, their strengths are still there; and once they throw away their weapons and equipment, it is tantamount to throwing away their strengths.

Throwing away their strengths, the Americans are bound to lose. The Chinese began to capture prisoners all over the mountains and plains.In the early morning of November 2, the main force of the U.S. 8th Cavalry Regimental Combat Team in the Yunshan area, together with the 15th and 12th regiments of the Korean Army, were mostly wiped out.
