Compared with company and platoon-level cadres starting from the most basic formation, the focus of training for battalion and regiment-level cadres is different. Of course, one hour of formation training and two hours of physical training are inevitable every afternoon. Others The time is mainly for classes.
The content includes political education, military theoretical basis, contract tactics, campaign command, modern joint logistics support, cutting-edge scientific and technological knowledge, and current affairs and politics at home and abroad, etc.;
The instructors are rotated among the several standing committee members of the Independent Brigade. Political education is mainly given by Political Commissar Gao Wancheng and Director of the Political Department Wang Junjie. Comrade Wang Junjie, in particular, was sent from Yanzhou and has a solid political theory foundation. These battalion and regiment-level officers , we must keep pace with Yanzhou in this regard;
The cadres of the independent brigade must have both military and political excellence. They must be strong in both hands. Cadres with unstable political stances will not be of much use no matter how capable they are. Including Chu Xiong, his political stance is a high-voltage line. No one is allowed to touch it.
Chu Xiong comes from a later generation. He understands the destructive power of sports very well. From now on, he must take precautions and take precautions before they happen!
Participants include all battalion-level cadres of the 881st Regiment, regimental-level cadres of other regiments, direct battalion commanders, hospital directors, communications section chiefs, etc.;
In Chu Xiong's view, this training is very important. It will be a milestone in the development of the independent brigade and is more important than winning a battle!
The security in the old camp area has been upgraded to the highest level. All the Tiger Special Forces have been deployed to provide training instead of defense. The brigade guard battalion has a first-level combat readiness and is responsible for the security and defense of the entire training area;
Other regiments also used training to replace defense. As long as the Japanese did not dispatch tens of thousands of mopping up troops, the training work would go on as scheduled. The independent brigade did not actively provoke the Japanese. It claimed that the Zezhou battle had suffered huge losses and the troops were resting and recuperating.
Chu Xiong's voice sounded again in the battalion and regiment-level cadre training class. During this period, he almost spent time with the training class:
"Comrades, our independent brigade has developed too fast in the past two years. Chuxiong, myself included, was only a company commander two years ago, while many of you are still platoon commanders and squad leaders;
Now our independent brigade has grown to more than 20,000 people. You have also become regimental commanders and battalion commanders. The troops under your command have increased from a dozen or dozens of people to more than 1,000, more than 2,000, and even thousands in the future. People, tens of thousands of people!
Everyone wants to command as many troops as possible and become a bigger official, and I am the same;
We must clearly realize that the position must match the ability. The more troops you command, the greater the responsibility you bear!
As a mid-level or senior commander, one of our decisions affects the lives of thousands of soldiers;
It is said that victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers, but I don't think so. A defeat affects the lives of countless comrades, how can it be a common thing?
Our Eighth Route Army is a soldier of the people. When the people entrust their sons to our commanders, we should ensure their lives as much as possible;
In battle, we must not only eliminate the enemy, but also minimize the casualties of our soldiers, so that more people can see the day of victory. This is the responsibility that each of our commanders must bear. If you can't do it, don't take it seriously. This commander!
To do this, we must not only have extraordinary responsibilities, but also extraordinary abilities.
Ability can be improved through learning and exercise. Our training course is to make you study with concentration and improve your ability to win!
The Independent Brigade does not need the excuse that victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Everything we are doing now is to win! "
"Defeat the devils, defeat all enemies that hinder the rise of China, kill gods if gods block them, and kill Buddha if Buddha blocks them!"
The applause sounded like thunder. Chu Xiong stopped it with his hands and started to enter his lecture today:
“Comrades, two days ago we talked about various forms of guerrilla warfare, today we talk about mobile warfare;
The independent brigade has been upgraded to a battle group. Although our weapons and equipment have been greatly improved and we have achieved several quasi-battle-level victories, the status quo of a strong enemy and a weak one has not changed, and will exist for a long time!
In the past, we focused on guerrilla warfare, supplemented by mobile warfare;
Now our battle against the Japanese will shift to a combat method based on mobile warfare, supplemented by guerrilla warfare and positional warfare;
In other words, we already have the ability for the Japanese to fight a battle-level mobile warfare!
Mobile warfare, simply put, is to destroy the enemy in motion and exchange combat space for combat time. It means to surround all or part of the enemy in motion and use superior forces to achieve a quick victory!
To sum it up in one sentence:
"Avoid the enemy's main force, lure the enemy deep, and concentrate your superior forces to defeat them one by one!"
“In terms of tactics, we need to move and run to break up the heavy enemy group that is huddled together;
Then use part of the troops to use a large-depth penetration tactic to penetrate through the gap where the Japanese were torn apart, and separate the Japanese;
Just like cutting off a piece of meat, if you cut off a piece, you must concentrate your forces to destroy it. To fight a war of annihilation, concentrate your superior forces and defeat them one by one;
We must grasp the principles of speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, give full play to the advantages of military strength and firepower, and eliminate one lump after another, and annihilate one piece after another..."
Just talking about theory is too abstract. Chu Xiong also found out some successful examples of mobile warfare fought by the first and third armies during the counter-encirclement and suppression period, and explained them one by one on the map, which lasted a whole day.
After the theoretical lecture, all personnel were organized to conduct war games, allowing every commander to participate and subtly improve their understanding of mobile warfare.
These battalion and regiment level cadres are the future of the independent brigade, and Chu Xiong believes that they cannot be overemphasized.
Another day passed, and Chu Xiong began to explain contract tactics to them. Although the independent brigade only had simple infantry and artillery coordination, this did not prevent him from using the modern war that took place in Europe as an example to explain to them the armored group's large-depth assault tactics. Tank coordination tactics, air-ground integration tactics;
Some tactics are restricted by conditions and cannot be used temporarily, but as a mid- to senior-level commander, you must understand these cutting-edge offensive tactics so that you will not be at a loss once the enemy uses them.
There is no one-size-fits-all military tactic. Wherever there is a spear, there is a shield. Once you understand and become familiar with these tactics, you can find ways to crack them.
“Comrades, tactics are dead but people are alive;
The key to the success or failure of a war is definitely not one or two advanced weapons, nor one or two advanced tactics, but people!
Soldiers are unpredictable, water is unpredictable, and tactics can be ever-changing, but the key to determining the outcome of a war is the will of the people!
These tactics we learn are just means to defeat the enemy;
All the means we can use can also be used by the enemy, so we must have our own things that the enemy cannot learn from!
Therefore, the magic weapon for our Eighth Route Army to defeat all powerful enemies can only be to rely closely on the masses of the people and unite all forces that can be united;
Fight with them a new type of people's war that they cannot copy and relies on more advanced strategies and tactics! "
