The book "On Protracted War" is1Chairman's speech at the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Research Association in Yan 'an from May 26th to June 3rd, 938. After reading on protracted war, there are 2000 words. This is a great classic military theory work of Marxism-Leninism, which is regarded as one of the top ten military masterpieces in the world. Twenty-one questions are written in the full text of On Protracted War. The first nine titles are the first part, which mainly expounds why War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a protracted war and why the final victory is China's, and criticizes the theory of national subjugation and the theory of quick victory. The last twelve questions are the second part, which mainly expounds how to carry out a protracted war and how to win the final victory, with the focus on the people's war and its strategy and tactics. Reading today is really insightful and insightful. Although it is a book aimed at the macro trend of the country, it can also be used as a guide to guide individuals to deal with the current life. Now I record my feelings as follows.
First, rationally recognize the situation and accurately position yourself.
The greatest thing about the classic article "On Protracted War" is that it was written in the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and published in the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, but it just corresponds to the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the future, and even can be said to be War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's summary report. This reflects the chairman's accurate grasp of the military, political, economic and cultural aspects of China and foreign countries and our enemies, and has a clear understanding of the development of the international and domestic situation.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders came to China, and the comprehensive national strength of the two countries was very different, and the main force of the national government was defeated one after another. In a crisis, people panic. Few people can have a clear understanding of the current situation, and all kinds of strange ideas spread like wildfire. It is believed that China's economic, technological and military strength is not as good as that of Japan, and the defeated "national subjugation theory" is of course very marketable; It is unrealistic to think that relying on foreign countries can quickly defeat Japan's "quick fix theory" also has an audience. In this situation, the Chairman pointed out that War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a protracted war, deeply analyzed the political, military, economic and cultural advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and expounded several forms of "sawtooth": inside and outside, with and without rear, big and small, partial and whole, encirclement and anti-encirclement. Make people understand that "the long-term and vast War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is a military, political, economic and cultural war. This is a spectacle in the history of war, a feat of the Chinese nation and an earth-shattering cause. " It not only refuted the theory of quick victory, but also denounced the theory of national subjugation, which made the people of the whole country see the future of victory and enhanced their confidence in winning.
He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. It is great to be able to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of others, and it is also great to correctly locate your talents and minds. It shows that the chairman's ability is extraordinary, and he can extract correct and valuable information from complicated information, and then make a clear analysis and draw a reasonable conclusion.
Someone once said that society is like a river, and people are like fish in the river. Most fish can only float and sink with the flow of the river, and I don't know what will happen in the future; Occasionally, one or two fish struggled to jump out of the water and caught a glimpse of the direction ahead. Although they can benefit a lot in the short term, it is not a long-term solution after all. A true wise man should strive to be a waterfowl on the river, and keep silent about the direction of the river and the swimming of the fish, so as to advance and retreat freely and succeed.
Second, the scheme is detailed and practical.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, most people thought that we should use deep trench and high base positional warfare, rely solely on fortifications and rely on frontal decisive battle to fight against Japanese invaders. This view seems impassioned, but it ignores the comparison between the enemy and ourselves. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, although our army soldiers and civilians fought bravely and killed the enemy with blood, they could not gain the initiative in the war situation because the specific tactical plan was not in line with reality.
Chairman believes that this protracted war in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will go through three stages: "The first stage is the enemy's strategic offensive and our strategic defensive period. The second stage is the period when the enemy is strategically conservative and we are ready to counterattack. The third stage is the period of our strategic counterattack and the enemy's strategic retreat. " In order to realize the general strategic principle of protracted war, a set of specific strategic principles is also put forward. That is, in the first and second stages, we will actively, flexibly and systematically carry out offensive warfare in defensive warfare, quick decision in protracted war and exterior-line warfare in interior-line warfare, with mobile warfare as the mainstay and guerrilla warfare and positional warfare as the supplement; The third stage should be a strategic counterattack. The presentation and emphasis of the People's War and its strategy and tactics have pointed out the correct path for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
Modern society has developed information, and various successful "cheats" abound. At first reading, the whole article was full of principles and ideas. As long as you do it, success seems to be in sight; After careful study, it is found that it is all an armchair strategist, and the most critical implementation plan is often avoided, and it is also euphemistically called: flexible and flexible. After reading it, I feel that I have read "On Protracted War" for 2000 words. It reminds people that in the old feudal dynasty, rulers were afraid of people's rebellion. The books on the art of war not only strictly control the dissemination, but also delete all the specific measures on military management, such as encouraging morale, training soldiers, arranging array, etc., leaving only the general principles, thus creating a large number of strategists who are armchair strategists.
If the strategic decision is likened to climbing a mountain, then the tactics are the specific plans of climbing the mountain, such as which side to climb from, where to trim halfway, whether to go down immediately after reaching the top of the mountain or to withdraw after making some adjustments, and so on. Think carefully when making a plan. The more specific and realistic the plan, the greater the chance of success.
Third, unify thinking and resolutely implement it.
Even the best plan needs to be carried out by the executor. The more ambitious and specific the plan is, the more people will participate in its implementation. If the executive team can't unify their thinking, the intensity of plan implementation will also be discounted. The success rate of a thing is closely related to the execution of the person who does it. The strategic thought embodied in "On Protracted War" is great, and our party's ability to implement it strictly according to the plan cannot be underestimated. Through previous rectification movements, the thinking of the whole party has been highly unified; In the severe test of war, a group of loyal proletarian fighters were cast; According to the development of the times, we should flexibly adjust our policies and establish the broadest United front. All these have laid a solid foundation for our Party to lead the liberation of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and even China.
The ancients often said: it is easy to know the difficulties. In fact, it is not easy for an ordinary person to make a plan. He can do it seriously, ensure that the plan can be implemented without discount, and flexibly adjust the method under the premise of the same general direction. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he never gave up hope and worked hard. Is the only way to get close to success.
