Chapter 50 Thirty-sixth strategy is the best

The whole division avoids the enemy, walks to the left without blame, and is not out of order. The whole army retreats to avoid a strong enemy, and uses retreat as an advance to defeat the enemy when the opportunity arises. In this way, it does not violate the normal art of war. When the enemy has an absolute advantage and our side has no possibility of victory, there are only three ways out: surrender, peace or retreat.Surrender is a complete failure, and peace negotiation is also a half failure. Retreat is not the same as failure, but the key to turning defeat into victory.For example, in the Song Dynasty, when Bi met the resistance against the Jin soldiers, the strength of the enemy and ourselves was very different, so he secretly withdrew all the defenders in one night.Only the flags were left on the ground, and the live sheep were hung upside down in advance, so that the front legs of the sheep hung on the drum, and the sheep struggled while being hung, so the drum was struck.Jin Bing heard the sound of drums day and night, and never expected that the Song army had withdrawn. This can be said to be the best example of being good at retreating.

Among the thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy, which shows the Chinese people's preference for walking. The ancients have long known that walking is the best way to preserve strength and avoid danger, otherwise there would be no such thing as slipping away. The ways of "walking" in ancient and modern China and abroad can be said to be strange and strange, with only one purpose, and that is to protect oneself.Some people gained power because of running away, while others died because of running away. It can be seen that the knowledge involved in "walking" is quite large.

Xu Fu is the one who has gone the farthest in Chinese history.Qin Shihuang asked him to get the elixir of life, but he knew he couldn't get it, so he simply took boys and girls and ran to Japan.At first it was to save his life, but now he has become a celebrity. Cao Cao can also be said to have run with great vigor.Since the assassination of Dong Zhuo, he has been running around, Puyang lost to Lu Bu, Wancheng lost to Zhang Xiu, Chibi was burned by Zhou Lang, Hua Rongdao was almost killed by Guan Gongye, and his beard was cut off when he reached Tongguan. I lost it too, and my life would have been gone if I didn't run away in those places, but Cao Cao sat in the world.

Guan Gong also experienced great ups and downs. After passing five levels and beheading six generals, he had to be as majestic as he wanted.But when he arrived in Maicheng, he didn't take this small step well, but he lost the life of a hero. In the Second World War, if General de Gaulle had not left and stayed in France, his life might have died long ago, but he left.When he came back, he became the President of France. Tang Mingyu left Sichuan and risked the life of Concubine Yang Gui, completely exposing the so-called love supremacy, but the emperor's country was saved. If Einstein did not go to the United States, Hitler would 100% send him to the crematorium. It is precisely because he left the United States that he organized the creation of the atomic bomb.

Hitler was not a smart person. When the Third Reich was over, he would lie in the basement and not leave. The only way he could die was to die. Lin Biao also "walked" in the end, but he didn't go well. Not to mention his death, he was ruined and ruined forever.This should also be the fate of careerists. It can be seen that there is no definite rule in ancient and modern China and abroad, whether it is good or bad, whether it is successful or not, it all depends on the ability of the person who uses this plan. In May 1840, Hitler concentrated 136 divisions, 3,000 tanks, and thousands of bombers, and suddenly pressed the British and French allied forces to a small seaport called Dunkirk in northern France.

On May 24, General Guderian sent an urgent telegram to Hitler.The telegram said: The German army has reached the A Canal, which is only 20 miles away from Dunkirk.The Belgian Army, the 9 divisions of the British Expeditionary Force, and the 10 divisions of the French 1st Army were all surrounded. The armored troops of General Reinhardt and I have established 5 bridgeheads on the A Canal, advancing from the northeast. The German 6th Army and the 18th Army will form a powerful pincer attack to completely wipe them out. On this day, the US ambassador to the United Kingdom, Kennedy, sent a telegram to President Roosevelt saying: "Everything is irreparable. Only a miracle can save the British Expeditionary Force from total annihilation."

President Roosevelt looked at the telegram and did not speak for a long time. On this day, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was also powerless. All he could do was bite his pipe hard to hide his inner frustration. On May 24, the German Supreme Command issued an order to stop the tank troops on the canal line and not to advance. Gudean read this order several times in a row. This time he did not understand that the great head of state was What do you think. Churchill quickly learned of Hitler's order, and he couldn't figure out what kind of tactics it was, but there was one thing that he reacted very quickly, that is, he immediately notified the Admiralty, and immediately recruited ships from all over the country. Allied forces were transported across the English Channel.

At 3:00pm on May 26th, the clouds over the English Channel covered the sky, one part was light and the other was thick, the sky was like a piece of iron, sinking to the ground, gray clouds were speeding in the air, passing over mountains and rivers, stopped at sea. The whole of Britain has received an order from the Admiralty: to implement the generator plan.This is the code name for the Allied forces retreating from Dunkirk. Many historians later said that this was really a great "power generation". In the night, 870 ships were dispatched, of which 300 were sent out by France, ranging from cruisers and destroyers to various small sailboats and rowing boats, from royal luxury yachts to dirty garbage ships, some people say that all floating ships in the UK Things, all went to the English Channel.

Soldiers of the German Tank Corps, lying on their tanks, drinking authentic French champagne. On May 27, the UK evacuated 7,669 people. On May 28, the UK evacuated 17,804 people. On 29 May, the UK evacuated 47,310 people. On May 30, the UK evacuated 53,823 people. However, the Germans knew nothing about this. At this time, the Luftwaffe began to dispatch, but the English Channel has been full of thick clouds, engulfing everything in the world, and it is impossible to drop bombs. It is just these few days that God is on the side of the United Kingdom. . In the middle of the night on June 3, the German army began to attack, but the coalition forces had withdrawn 340,000 to 60,000 people, and only 42 French soldiers resisted on the beach.

General Guderian found that the French soldiers who surrendered to the Germans had smiles on their faces. On June 4, Churchill delivered a speech in the House of Commons: "We will fight to the end, we will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the landing sites, we will fight in the fields and in the streets, we will never surrender, I believe , today's retreat from Dunkirk will be the beginning of tomorrow's victory!" On June 5, 1944, the Allied forces landed in Normandy, France, and opened up the second battlefield. The 350,000 troops retreating in Dunkirk became the main force of the battle.

After the Second World War, almost all the British prime ministers elected were officers and soldiers who retreated from Dunkirk. During the general election, they shouted loudly: "Citizens, when Britain is in danger, you want to know that we are in danger." Where? I'm on the beach in Dunkirk..." Then, the ballots came like a snowflake. Therefore, historians say that this is not an ordinary retreat, this is a great retreat, because the withdrawal is the future of the whole of Britain! In January 1935, after the Zunyi Conference, Mao Zedong began to personally command the Central Red Army, but the situation of the Red Army was very dangerous. Chiang Kai-shek's hundreds of thousands of troops had already surrounded the Red Army. In mid-January, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized 150 regiments to surround Zunyi from all directions. Mao Zedong decisively led the Red Army to withdraw from Zunyi. Cross the Chishui River. The slogan put forward by the Red Army at that time was: We must be prepared to take the big road, we must also be prepared to take the small road, we must be prepared to take the straight road, we must also be prepared to take a detour, we must not damage property, because we may come back. Mao Zedong's strategy and tactics. On February 18th and 21st, the Red Army crossed Chishui for the second time, annihilating two enemy divisions in the Battle of Zunyi. This was the biggest victory since the Long March. Chiang Kai-shek was shocked and went to Chongqing to command in person.And the Red Army turned west again, crossing Chishui four times for the third time, and then entered southern Sichuan. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy in Chongqing. He said to his military adviser Duan Na: "You see, Mao Zedong has nowhere to go, and his actions are erratic. You don't know where he is going. The Red Army is already a shackle. , even if it is the ability to go to heaven and earth, Mao Zedong can't run away." On March 24, Chiang Kai-shek flew from Chongqing to Guiyang with Soong Meiling. He said to Duanna: "I am here this time to tighten the encirclement of the Red Army. This time I must catch Mao Zedong." Chiang Kai-shek met Wang Tianxi, the chief of the Guiyang police station, in his two-story building, and said to him: "You have a very good name. Is that really a godsend? Tianxi and Godsend both mean the same thing!" Chiang Kai-shek was pleased to appoint him as the commander of the garrison. At this time, Xue Yue made a phone call in vain: "Chairman, it looks like Mao Zedong is going to cross the Wujiang River." "Don't let him cross the Wujiang River, let him become the second Shi Dakai!" On March 30, the Red Army broke through the Wujiang River in one fell swoop. This time Chiang Kai-shek scolded Xue Yue: "What are you doing to eat, I want to remove you!" "Chairman, the Red Army may have come to Guiyang, for your safety..." "Mother Xipi, I don't want you to care, don't want you to care about me!" When Song Meiling heard the news, she almost shed tears: "Darling, you must think of a way, think of a good way!" "Commander Wang, you must strengthen the city's defenses and use all available soldiers!" Wang Tianxi reported to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman, I have already organized a battalion, two firefighting companies, and some policemen. There are about 400 people. We worked for a day and a night and repaired a city wall." "It's so fast? That's impossible, I want to see it myself." Chiang Kai-shek went outside the city to have a look, and the city wall could not stop the Red Army at all. At this time, Gu Zhutong ran to report: "Chairman, according to reconnaissance, the Red Army is only more than ten miles away from Guiyang!" Chiang Kai-shek was frightened: "Quickly issue an order, and order Sun Du, the commander of the Yunnan Army in Yunnan, to lead three brigades and rush to Guiyang. How far is it from the airport?" "It's more than 30 miles away, and it takes more than an hour to travel by car," Wang Tianxi said. At this time, a policeman came to report: "Commander Wang, just received a call, and found the plainclothes team of the Red Army at the airport!" Wang Tianxi didn't speak, he turned to look at Chiang Kai-shek. "What's the use of seeing me? What else can you do?" "This..." Wang Tianxi was too nervous to speak for a moment. It was Chiang Kai-shek who came up with a solution: "Find me 20 reliable people, get some good horses, and find two good sedan chairs. Quickly, the sooner the better!" "Yes, Chairman, I'll do it right away!" After a while, Gu Zhutong came to report again: "The Red Army has bypassed Guiyang and is heading towards Longli." Chiang Kai-shek looked at the map and said to himself, "Does Mao Zedong want to go back to Hunan or Jiangxi?" At this time, Chen Cheng also came and said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Just now, Sun Du's three brigades have arrived. The soldiers are so precious!" "Okay, okay, tell them to chase the enemy in the direction of Longli." Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief. On May 3, Chiang Kai-shek got the news that Mao Zedong had crossed the Jinsha River.This shows that the Red Army has run out of his encirclement. After the liberation of the whole country, a visiting foreign head of state said to Mao Zedong: "The three major battles you commanded can be compared with all the great battles in the world!" Mao Zedong smiled and said: "That's nothing, crossing Chishui four times is my proudest work in my life!" Without crossing Chishui four times, the final victory of the Long March would not be possible, and without the victory of the Long March, there would be no subsequent national liberation. From this point of view, crossing Chishui four times is indeed Mao Zedong's proud work of "walking".
