After Mr. Lin said this, he was silent for a moment, and then said with emotion: "Comrade Yang Zhen, I can't comment on other things you have done. But you have worked hard over the years and trained such a large number of people with the qualifications for our army."
A mid-to-high-level commander with modern military literacy. Just for this one thing alone, you can be regarded as a major contributor in the history of the development of our army."
"The commander is the soul of the army, the general is the courage of the soldiers, and the soldiers are the power of the general. The true combat effectiveness of an army lies not in the top nor the bottom. The key lies in whether the abilities of the mid-to-high-level commanders can match the troops and
The need of war. To manage an army, you must first manage the generals. It is easy to get a thousand armies but it is difficult to find a general."
"No matter how capable a commander is, he still needs to rely on frontline commanders for command. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang was written as a unique genius, but in his Nine Expeditions of the Central Plains, because there were no generals in Shu, he could only rely on Liao Hua.
To be a vanguard, the lack of qualified generals was one of the main reasons for its failure."
"Although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is just a novel, some of the things in it are not unreasonable. If an army lacks a sufficient number of qualified mid-level and senior commanders, what will happen no matter how strong its commanding ability is? There is no qualified military advisor.
Commander, even if this commander is covered with hands, I'm afraid he won't be able to support him."
"From the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, our army has gone through five counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns, the Long March, the counter-encirclement and suppression operations in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and then crossed the Yellow River eastward and marched to the battlefield behind enemy lines in North China. Over the past ten years, it has grown from nothing to something step by step.
Today it has reached a certain scale. We are not afraid of any opponent in guerrilla warfare, and we also have certain experience in mobile warfare."
"But whether future development can keep up with the times does not depend on whether our equipment is advanced, nor whether we can defeat enemies more powerful than us in a short period of time. It depends on whether we have cultivated a
A batch of commanders with modern command capabilities."
"Our current weapons and equipment are already developing in the direction of infantry-artillery coordination, infantry-tank coordination, and ground-air coordination. This requires very high requirements for the capabilities of commanders at all levels to keep up with the development of equipment. No
The corresponding capabilities are to give them aircraft and cannons, but if they can’t use them, they don’t have them.”
"If you don't mention anything else over the years, the cadres you have trained under you over the years are capable of taking on any important task wherever they go. People like Wang Guangyu, Chen Hanzhang, Du Kaishan, Wang Xiaoming, Tao Jingfei, and those who were transferred from the customs are also
The military and political cadres you kidnapped."
"Especially Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang, there is absolutely no problem in supporting a strategic area independently. Du Kaishan's temperament is a bit wild, but a strong general can be placed on any front without any problem. Wang Xiaoming is good at mountain sports and interspersed operations, Tao Jingfei is good at military
Although it is a little weaker than the previous ones, it is both military and political."
"You have a very sharp vision, and you are also good at cultivating cadres. It is very hard to serve as your subordinates, but once you persevere, they will definitely become great talents. This group of cadres is very important in the entire army, and even across the country.
He is definitely a top-notch figure. His experience in modern command operations and multi-arms joint operations is unparalleled."
"If you give it to the whole army, I'm afraid everyone will rush to get it. If I were you, with such a group of cadres with both military and political capabilities, I would be so happy that I couldn't sleep. No matter what you have done in other areas, but for us
For an army, the group of cadres you have trained are the most critical and important to our future development."
"However, war is a thing full of contingency and uncertainty. You cannot ask every commander to be perfect on the battlefield without making even a small mistake. This is almost impossible.
In a short period of time, or even on an ever-changing battlefield, it is impossible for every commander to make mistakes. Clear rewards and punishments are the true way to be a general."
Mr. Lin, who was always taciturn, actually said so many truths about this matter, which made Yang Zhen slightly stunned. But then he understood that this was the senior in front of him who was very particular about the way of an imperial general.
There are some things you need to pay attention to when telling yourself about the use of senior commanders.
Although Yang Zhen was very grateful, he shook his head: "Mr. Lin, you can't express your emotions and anger. I'm far from cultivating that kind of self-cultivation. I also understand what you said. The way of a general is to be lenient and strict.
Economic. You can neither be indulgent nor harsh. However, the requirements are getting higher and higher, so this is just a little bit."
"Mr. Lin, the Sino-Japanese war has basically come to an end today. As you said, this battle in South Manchuria is slightly flawed in some aspects, but overall,
The performance was pretty good and the game was exciting.”
"But I have been thinking that what we are facing today is not good at armored combat, is slow to accept new combat modes, and lacks sufficient armored forces. The most important thing is that in terms of national strength, it is far inferior to Western powers and cannot bear a large number of
The Japanese army developed and manufactured new weapons.”
"If we encountered the German army of 1941 today, or the Soviet army that has now mastered the assault operations of large armored groups, would our tank tactics still be so effective? Our armored forces would still be fighting the Japanese army.
Is it so invincible?"
"When we fight in the near future against the more powerful Americans, or against the Soviets who have mastered rich theories of armored assault tactics in the war against Germany, will our troops still be the same as they are today? The Japanese army has always been active in combating Germany.
For a weak China, it is indeed quite powerful. But when faced with the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany, such a real military and industrial power is third-rate at best."
"The tank combat between us and the Japanese army was at the tactical level at best. It is quite different from the Soviet-German battlefield where several armored divisions, even armored corps, and armored group armies were fighting each other at every turn. If we were in a battle,
Encountering attacks from thousands or even thousands of enemy tanks, can we still defeat our opponents?"
"Our ground-to-air firepower now has an overwhelming advantage over the Japanese. But if we were placed in the position of the Germans on the Western European battlefield, with stronger air cover, a single tactical operation would involve thousands of bombers and thousands of weapons.
If the U.S. military has a competition with artillery, can we still win?"
"For example, if we had another opponent, and we were given a Battle of Kiev or a Battle of Kursk, or even a Battle of Falaise, would we still be able to fight like today? Maybe my perspective is
It's a bit high, but I think that in many cases, being high is not necessarily a bad thing."
"In fact, in terms of real military strength, we have nothing to be complacent about defeating an opponent like the Japanese. The Japanese army is indeed unique in its pure infantry tactics. Its defensive tactics also have considerable characteristics. But this is
It was aimed at the Chinese army, which was weak and internally disunited."
"If they encounter armies like the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, the difference in their overall strength is too great. The Japanese fight in the Pacific and rely on the complex terrain of the islands they occupy, which indeed delays the speed of the US military's attack and gives the US military a lot of damage.
Small casualties.”
"But if they were to fight on terrain like this on the northeastern plains, with the same forces on both sides, in terms of firepower comparison, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to withstand the US military's offensive. It was the Battle of Nomenhan that year. If the Soviet army's tactics were not too inferior, it would be different.
With the current Soviet army, the Japanese army probably does not have the strength to compete with the Soviet army for such a long time."
"In a word, if you put the current Japanese army on the Western European battlefield or the Soviet-German battlefield, they will have no chance at all except for their tenacious defense. The invention of radar, the extensive use of flares, and the updated night vision
The use of equipment enables Nightshade to provide unlimited protection for the weak side's army."
"As a soldier, the end of a war means starting to prepare for the next war. We do not actively provoke war, but we must prepare ourselves for the war. When our team
When the military faces opponents like the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union in the near future, can we still win?"
"We are growing, and others are also growing rapidly. The current Soviet generals all grew up from the early rout of the Soviet-German battlefield. From the second half of 1943 to the present, its large corps have been engaged in mobile operations, tanks
The use of armored groups can even be said to have reached the level of proficiency."
"When we one day face off against these Soviet generals, will the experience we gained in a third-rate country's army be enough? Of course, these are all assumptions at least for now, but who can guarantee that we will never compete with them?
How is it possible for armies like the United States and the Soviet Union to fight?"
"We cannot say that if we defeat the Japanese, we will be invincible. Nor can we say that after defeating the Japanese, we will put our swords and guns in the warehouse, let our horses go to Nanshan, and sing and dance for the rest of our lives. If you are willing to fight, you will perish, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. As a soldier
The string in our heads that prepares for war can never be relaxed."
"As for the other battles, I think the victory is far from finalized yet. It's a bit premature to talk about rewards at this time. As for encouragement, I don't think it's necessary. They are all old subordinates and senior superiors.
Just stimulate it if necessary."
After Yang Zhen finished speaking, Mr. Lin looked at him with a strange expression. If the Americans were a half-hearted ally, the Soviet Union was not. Why did the young general in front of him open and shut his mouth?
Are you talking about the possibility of fighting the Soviet army?
Mr. Lin, who has always been good at thinking, immediately became more or less aware of what Yang Zhen was thinking. After hesitating for a while, Mr. Lin still said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, think more long-term. This is not a big problem. But there are some things.
, you must be cautious when making decisions. Discuss more with the central government and the chairman, and never act without authorization."
"Even if we regard the Soviets as imaginary enemies, we must not show them. Even if the war with Japan ends, we will still have to face a complicated domestic situation. At least for a short time, we cannot fall out with the Soviets. And we cannot fall out with the Soviets.
It is not in our interests for a big country like the Soviet Union to turn against us."
"I know that your cooperation with the Soviets over the years has not been pleasant. In many things, the conflict is far greater than the cooperation. In the cooperation over the years, you have also paid a large, even high, additional price.
The supplies and equipment supplied by the US aid were immediately seized without any notice."
"When you were also having a difficult time with food, in order to solve your own food crisis, you were forced to use food to repay the debts you owed them. By seizing supplies, you were forced to produce some light weapons for them. The sale of military raw materials before the war,
It’s also high price but low quality, shoddy and shoddy.”
"Although you don't say it, your guard against the Soviets is even higher than the guard against the Americans. But there are some things that we can only endure now. But no matter what Comrade Yang Zhen says, in your most difficult situation,
Sometimes, after all, it is the Soviet Union that provides help to you. Sometimes, taking a step back will help you."
