In a word, the differences were suppressed, and the impact has been felt to this day.
Original Copy: Introduction: In today's complex international environment, we have chosen this theme because of an important background: since the founding of New China, the squadron has never lost in foreign wars.
This has important implications for the past, present and future. History is a cycle and a mirror, and by studying history, we can have confidence in the future.
1: The Military Talent of the Marshal The ten marshals of New China have their own characteristics, and the marshal is the most special one among them. His attainments in military command art and military theory are unparalleled not only at home but also internationally outstanding.
His outstanding performance has won universal recognition for China's military strength.
**Deng Gong's evaluation is always very rigorous, and his words are very rare. But among the many comments on Liu Shuai, he is still not the most direct, after all, *** once said that *** is "a dragon down to earth".
So, after the founding of New China, what did this dragon do? He was mainly engaged in education and running military schools. According to the evaluation of his comrades, he basically became "invisible" from the front line of the military.
Why is that? There are many reasons for this, first of all it has to do with ***'s own wishes. In 1950, after the Southwest Dading, he resigned from his military post as commander-in-chief of the large military region and was transferred to Beijing.
For such a "god of war", in the matter of what should be done next, ** is not ready to appoint directly, but to discuss with him. Who knows, he insisted on leaving the position of chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army and did not do it, and he had to run a school.
"I want to be a 'Mr. Teach'," he said. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that no matter what, his wishes must be respected. After all, he had given too much during the war years, and his early eye injuries had always haunted him.
**'s "stealth" is also related to the rapid growth of many young generals after the founding of New China. In 1955, more than 1,000 founding generals were awarded titles, including 10 generals and 55 generals.
Among these people, many of them were fierce generals under Liu Deng's army back then, and many of them grew up listening to ***'s military classes during the Yan'an period. These people are like full seeds that have taken root in the major military regions, serving as commanders, political commissars, and staff officers of military regions.
In particular, after the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the morale and ability of the whole army have been once again improved. These young faces full of vitality make *** feel at ease and at ease.
** On the eve of the 1962 self-defense counterattack against India, he had to come forward. As two Asian countries with a long history and have been invaded by imperialism, why did this war break out between China and India?
On this issue, the Chair had also given it a lot of thought. He once said: "I thought about it for ten days and ten nights, but I still couldn't figure out why Nehru was fighting us!" ”
Although the chairman expressed confusion on the surface, in fact he did not want to have a conflict with this once friendly and developing neighboring country. However, at that time, India insisted on an aggressive posture, and the reason for this was the problems left over from history.
India was ruled by the British before independence, and in order to consolidate their rule, the British drew a "McMahon Line" near the Sino-Indian border, and assigned a large area of territory to India.
Of course, New China did not recognize this "forged border", but Nehru ** clung to this "border". What is even more infuriating is that since 1951, the Indians have adopted a so-called "forward policy", which has been advancing step by step into the heart of China.
**The chairman and *** the prime minister warned many times, but the Indians still set up posts on the border. And the Chinese have always been accustomed to "striking backwards" and endured to the point where they could no longer bear it.
** The chairman said: "If you don't fight, you can't fight, just fight." You've been fixing us for three whole years! "After careful consideration, China decided to take a counterattack in self-defense.
Mao and Zhou leaders asked the generals, and Zhang and Liu gave different answers. General Zhang Guohua, who has been in charge for many years, asked about the heavy responsibility of the ** Military Region, and he replied firmly: "If we win, please rest assured that we will win!" ”
**Marshal, although he has never been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but according to experience, he is steady and cautious, and replied: "Where there is water, there must be roads.......""The two generals have their own characteristics, and there is no absolute right or wrong.
After receiving the order, Zhang Guohua immediately returned to Lhasa and worked out a specific battle plan with his subordinates of the ** Military Region. ** The officers and men of the military region are determined to crush the 7th Brigade of the Indian Army that invaded Kejlang.
The plan they reported was to wipe out the force entirely. This plan was quickly reported to **. Some people expressed concern about this plan, believing that Zhang Guohua's appetite was too great, while others expressed their approval, believing that the PLA was fighting the elite, and only by striking at the elite could the goal of ending the war with war be achieved.
In the end, the decision fell into the hands of ***. He decided to let the ** military region carry out this plan, and said that if it was not fought well, it could be done again. In this case, it is necessary to go out of the mountain "town".
On the one hand, with him, people who are worried will be more at ease, and they will also be more at ease. On the other hand, with him, those commanders in the ** military region who are younger than Zhang Guohua will be more confident.
** is 70 years old, but he is still the "god of the army". He's been idle for a long time, but he has his own plans for who he is. He positioned himself as a supernumerary staff officer and a supernumerary.
He also told the generals that he was already old, and his opinions were for reference only, and everyone could listen or not according to the actual situation.
**'s military wisdom and influence do not need to be proven, he is Zhang Guohua's old chief, and his words and deeds have benefited Zhang Guohua a lot. **After taking office as a "supernumerary staff officer", he immediately warned Zhang Guohua not to underestimate the enemy and reminded the troops to be fully prepared.
These preparations are all obtained after submitting opinions to ***, which reflects the consistent style of *** - not to fight unprepared battles. In the counterattack on October 20, 1962, the Chinese People's Liberation Army successfully protected its territory and sovereignty, which was inevitable, but because of adequate preparation, it was successful.
It is impossible for the enemy to admit defeat, and there is still a bigger move to follow. He began to fight the front line, repeatedly urging the front line to build roads, emphasizing that the Indian army had retreated, and it was now more difficult to transport supplies than them, and warned some comrades not to regard the rear supply as a secondary task, and to consider use, food, and clothing first of all in high-altitude operations.
It wasn't until Zhang Guohua replied, "Yes, old chief," that he felt relieved.
The general's wisdom and calmness are still visible in victory. The events of mid-November proved his foresight. The Indian army concentrated more forces and launched a focused offensive on the eastern sector.
This time, the Indians innovatively adopted the so-called "long snake formation", in which the fighters lined up vertically and advanced mightily, so that our troops on the front line could not attack for a while.
However, the ** general was not at the front, but thought by listening to the reports of his comrades. In the end, he taught Zhang Guohua the secret: "The enemy's configuration is a copper head and tin tail, with a tight back and a loose belly. ”
Zhang Guohua understands the wisdom of ***. After observation, he decided to attack from the left flank of the enemy. So, Zhang Guohua ordered: hit the head, hit the back, cut the abdomen, and cut the tail.
It's a perfect match between a handsome and a general. In this battle, the Chinese People's Liberation Army won a major victory, and our army annihilated more than 8,700 Indian troops, including nearly 4,000 prisoners.
** Very pleased with this, he said: "This battle will keep the Sino-Indian border stable for ten years." ”
The last battle in which the marshal participated in command was the self-defense counterattack in 1962, and since then he has lived a low-key life. Military scholars spoke highly of his excellent command in this battle, believing that his superb command art once again proved the charm of the "middle ** god".
From the pre-war preparations to the war, ** showed extreme caution, and he once warned the troops not to underestimate the enemy, which played a huge role at that time.
So far, the PLA has maintained a lenient attitude in dealing with related issues, and this style is still influencing the military today. Although the current world situation is turbulent, the Chinese people have always loved peace, and our use of troops abroad is carried out under forced circumstances, and every action will achieve victory, which I hope some countries can understand.
