Chapter 27 027 Magnet: What is psychological propaganda?

After the meeting, Wang Liang called the team members to the conference room for a small meeting.

He believed that this meeting was very necessary.

After all, so many new members have joined the mountain, and they have all been entrusted with important responsibilities.

Everyone must get to know each other well, which will also facilitate the development of subsequent work.

At the same time, we also discuss the next work deployment and development direction of the Langya Brigade.

When everyone arrived, Wang Liang said:

"I believe that after a few days of contact, everyone should know each other almost well. Let me give you a brief introduction."

"Weiguo and Huzi both graduated from the Central Military Academy."

"During the Battle of Songhu, Wei Guo was already the lieutenant colonel commander, and Hu Zi was the captain's adjutant."

"Both of them were very outstanding officers. They led their troops to fight many beautiful battles and killed many little Japs."

After introducing Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu, Wang Liang pointed his finger at Sun Desheng:

"Sun Desheng, Lao Sun, has been a veteran cavalryman for more than ten years. He is brave and good at fighting."

"Our Langya Brigade relies entirely on him to form cavalry."

Wang Liang formally introduced everyone and then immediately got to the point.

"Captain, I still have some questions about our special commando team." Zhou Weiguo took the initiative to speak.

"Wei Guo, you say." Wang Liang nodded.

Zhou Weiguo continued: "The staff of the special commando team is eight people. When Vice President Ou was reading the list just now, he also made arrangements for everyone's division of labor."

"What I'm thinking about is, how will the future training of such an elite team be carried out? What is the configuration of the equipment?"

"Also, what kind of combat missions will be carried out in the future."

"Leader, have you ever considered these issues?"

Although Zhou Weiguo had done research on special operations when he was studying in Germany, he had not yet put it into practice.

And he didn't know what Wang Liang's purpose was in forming this team?

Therefore, Zhou Weiguo was eager to understand Wang Liang's understanding and philosophy of special warfare.

He didn't mean to look down on Wang Liang.

It's just that Zhou Weiguo felt that the cadres of the Eighth Route Army's battalions and even levels generally did not receive systematic learning from military schools.

Not to mention the opportunity to exchange and study in military academies abroad.

What's more, he heard that Wang Liang was only a militia company commander in the county brigade.

Under this circumstance, Zhou Weiguo could not help but worry that Wang Liang's understanding of special warfare had great limitations.

I didn’t even know what special operations was. I just heard such a term somewhere and used it casually.

By then, the special commando team had been established with great effort and effort, and had formed a certain combat effectiveness.

However, it would be such a waste to be dragged into positional blocking warfare and urban assault warfare.

Zhou Weiguo was eager to understand Wang Liang's knowledge of special operations.

Hearing Zhou Weiguo's question, Wang Liang couldn't help but laugh.

Because he knew that Zhou Weiguo was giving him test questions and wanted to see how much he weighed.

Wang Liang cleared his throat, organized his thoughts, and prepared a good answer.

He just happened to take this opportunity to refresh Zhou Weiguo's impression of him.

At the same time, explain the development ideas of the special commando team.

Wang Liang said: "What is a special commando? I think it should have the following characteristics."

"The organization is flexible, the personnel are capable, the equipment is well-equipped, the maneuver is fast, the training is well-trained, and the combat effectiveness is strong."

"What kind of tasks should the special commandos perform in future military operations?"

"What I can think of at present includes but is not limited to harassment and sabotage, assassination and kidnapping, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, intelligence theft, psychological propaganda, special security, as well as anti-subversion, anti-agent, anti-sneak attack, anti-hijacking, etc."

Experts will know if it is there as soon as they take action.

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's eyes were already shining.

The way he looked at Wang Liang was different from before.

Many of the things Wang Liang said were things he had never heard of before.

In other words, he knew it, but never thought that it could be integrated into special operations.

This Wang Liang is very talented!

Zhou Weiguo felt that it was right for him to come to Liushan.

"Captain, what is inner-war propaganda? I don't understand. Are you fighting in your heart?" The magnet used the fine tradition of asking questions when you don't understand.

"Captain, our dignified county brigade also engages in assassinations and kidnappings?" Li Dafeng also asked.

Seeing that everyone was interested and had questions about these new terms he proposed, Wang Liang took the trouble to explain:

"Psychological war propaganda, in layman's terms, is psychological warfare."

“The psychological battle between the enemy and ourselves in war is called psychological warfare.”

"This is a very large subject, and there are many specific methods and forms."

Wang Liang paused and continued:

"For example, penetration and differentiation, disguise and deception, psychological deterrence, emotional harm, and suggestion induction."

Seeing that everyone including Zhou Weiguo was confused after hearing this, Wang Liang was very proud.

If you don't understand, you're right. What I'm talking about are all the research results of modern psychological warfare theory.

You'll be surprised if you understand it all at once.

"For example, we directed the dog-eat-dog battle in Guchengzhai Village last time."

"My behavior of pretending to be a Japanese officer to deceive and confuse the Japanese is infiltration and differentiation in psychological warfare, disguise and deception."

"There are many forms of psychological warfare, and there are many examples in history."

"Liu Bang's tactic of being surrounded on all sides when he attacked Xiang Yu, as well as Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven attempts to manipulate Meng Huo, were all tactics he used."

"Let's talk about something we can use every day. We can shout at the puppet troops and Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, and distribute anti-Japanese leaflets in the county. This is the simplest form of psychological warfare."

Li Daben listened. He was interested in these and felt that it was more enjoyable than listening to a book. He continued to ask:

"Then Captain, how many methods of psychological warfare are there?"

"Can you explain it to all of us in detail so that we can learn from it?"

Wang Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Psychological warfare was just a course he studied in the second semester of his junior year at the military academy. How could he learn it so deeply?

But the knowledge he still remembered was enough to scare this guy:

"There are many types of this type. According to levels, it can be divided into strategic psychological warfare, operational psychological warfare, and tactical psychological warfare."

“Based on the method, it can be divided into propaganda psychological warfare, deterrence psychological warfare, and strategic psychological warfare.”

“Based on the field, it can be divided into political psychological warfare, cultural psychological warfare, and economic psychological warfare.”

"According to media, it can be divided into leaflet psychological warfare, radio psychological warfare, film and television psychological warfare and the Internet."

Li Da was already dizzy, but Zhou Weiguo had some clues.

While in Germany he read a lot of military books.

After World War I, psychological warfare research received great attention from the participating countries.

He also established a psychological warfare unit, studied psychological warfare theory, and published a large number of related books.

Zhou Weiguo felt that Wang Liang's knowledge and understanding of psychological warfare far exceeded the current level of Western countries.

He didn't understand how there could be such talents in the Eighth Route Army.

It was surprising enough that Zhou Weiguo defeated such a ruthless Wei Dayong with just one move against Wang Liang.

After the exchange just now, he found that Wang Liang was both civil and military, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

Zhou Weiguo was very lucky to be able to come to Liushan. He felt that by partnering with such a person, he would definitely learn a lot in the future.

"I digressed, let's get back to the topic first."

"The psychological warfare I just mentioned, including other military skills, must be learned and used by everyone in the future."

"The special commando team takes control first. The special commando team is also a teaching team and must take on the task of teaching other companies."
