Chapter 130 4. Talk about "grandson" on the eve of the war

Sun Tzu, the prophet of military science, said: "Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival must be observed." The generals who lead the army in battle understand that war is a life-and-death struggle that changes rapidly. If the two armies are not very sure about the confrontation, they must have a 80-90 chance of winning.Only a few generals with both wisdom and courage can grasp the opportunity to plan and win in danger. Lu Zhengcao knew well that the core of Sun Tzu's Art of War is to win with wisdom. He used troops to "show that he can't, use it to show it's useless, use it to show it's far away, and far away to show it's near... attack the unprepared and surprise him" Strategy, especially how to make good use of the "army of power and deceit" in a harsh environment, is even more handy and self-made.

General Li Jian, who was the staff officer of the Jizhong Military Region at the time and later the artillery commander, was deeply impressed by this.He not only listened to Lu Zhengcao's detailed analysis of military strategies, but also successfully used these strategies and tactics in actual combat. Li Jian clearly remembers that it was the night before the Japanese army launched the "May 1st Sweep". He was on duty in the war room. essence. Li Jian replied: The essence of the "Soldier of Power and Deceit" lies in "surprise and surprise". Lu Zhengcao then asked again, why it is necessary to "surprise and attack by surprise" and how to achieve this goal.Li Jian didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Lu Zhengcao said to him: This issue is very important.It contains the ancient art of war and Chairman Mao's military thought. As a staff officer, one must understand it and apply it in practice.Then, he further explained that "soldiers of power and fraud" are mostly seen in surprise attacks, and the essence is to "surprise them by surprise and attack them unprepared."Unexpectedly, it is to attack the enemy suddenly at an unexpected time and place; unprepared, it is to attack suddenly when the enemy is unprepared in terms of ideology, deployment, fortifications, and even combat tactics. For example, The Battle of Feishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.This is not only to be good at taking advantage of the enemy's ideological paralysis, mistakes in command, hesitation and mistakes in determination, etc., but more importantly, to be good at creating the enemy's illusion.

Li Jian listened with gusto and kept them in mind. Lu Zhengcao also gave an example: Mao Zedong's "On the Protracted War" said that "on the Bagong Mountain, all the grass and trees are soldiers" and "the east hits the west" are all examples of winning by surprise.It was even argued that it was sometimes safer to cross the blockade "in broad daylight".However, it should be flexible when using it, depending on the specific situation. Lu Zhengcao used the wisdom of military dialectics to seize the opportunity of pre-emptive strike and late-strike strike, and commanded the Jizhong troops to use various tactics to deal with the enemy, to fight against "cannibalism", or to attack the enemy suddenly, making them helpless; Drain it and let it fall into my mouth.Under the principles of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, mine warfare, tunnel warfare, door-opening warfare, sparrow warfare, traffic warfare, etc. have been derived from the combination of soldiers and civilians, and the water warfare of the Yanling team has effectively blocked the enemy's water transportation. .Sun Ge, the "black loach" of the Yanling team, said: At that time, at Baiyangdian, he used the gun tower to fight against the enemy's package ship, came and went in the water and ice, and escorted Commander Lu across the lake.
