As an important guiding ideology of China's revolutionary war, the military theory has a far-reaching historical influence. In modern warfare, despite the tremendous changes in the form of warfare and equipment, military theories still have important reference value.

1.The theory of the people's war: ** emphasizes that "the people, and only the people, are the driving force that makes world history." "In modern warfare, the power of the people is still the most powerful backing. Through the Internet and other information technologies, the power of the people can be quickly mobilized and rallied to form a strong support force. At the same time, it is necessary to fully respect and rely on the people, give play to their enthusiasm and creativity, and make them the main force for victory in the war.

2.The strategy of encircling the city from the countryside: This strategy can be interpreted in a new way in modern warfare. In information warfare, it is possible to gradually weaken the enemy's strength by launching cyber attacks or other forms of attacks in the enemy's rear or periphery areas, and then develop to the central area. This approach allows both to avoid direct conflict with the enemy's main forces, and to effectively weaken the enemy's war potential.

3.The concept of protracted war: ** believes that "the essence of war is protracted war. "In modern warfare, the notion of protracted warfare still applies. Through economic sanctions, information warfare, psychological warfare, and other means, the enemy's war potential can be depleted and its combat effectiveness can be gradually weakened. At the same time, it is necessary to have firm faith and determination and be prepared to make long-term efforts to achieve ultimate victory.

4.Flexible and mobile tactics: ** emphasized, "The soldiers are fast, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and attack them by surprise." "In modern warfare, this means making full use of modern technology, such as drones, special forces, etc., to carry out rapid strikes. At the same time, it is necessary to flexibly adjust tactics and tactics in light of changes in the battlefield situation to suit the changes in warfare.

In general, the military doctrine of ** still has its important reference value in modern warfare. However, we also need to clearly understand that profound changes have taken place in the form and content of modern warfare, and we must make appropriate adjustments and improvements to the military theory in light of the development of modern science and technology and the changes in the form of warfare, so that it can better serve the organization and command of modern warfare.11
