Chairman Mao has never been to military academy, so why can he become a great military strategist? In addition to his natural keen insight, it is also related to his ability to learn.
For example, the famous " guerrilla warfare sixteen-character " was learned from a "mountain king" and carried forward.
Jinggangshan is located at the junction of Jiangxi and Hunan. It has been remote and sparsely populated since ancient times. It is a place where bandits gather. Before Chairman Mao led his troops to enter Jinggangshan, there were already a group of green forest heroes such as Yuan Wencai , Wang Zuo , etc. here, occupying the mountain and becoming king.
In fact, before the two Yuan and Wang, there was a mountain king in Jinggangshan, who could be called the master of King Yuan. King Yuan came to the fore with his name. This person was named Zhu Kongyang.
Zhu Kongyang is a refugee from Guangdong. He joined the warlord army in his early years and became the company commander. Because he could not stand the exploitation of his superiors, he was furious and mutinyed with more than 20 soldiers to Jinggangshan to occupy the mountain and become the king of the mountain.
Zhu Kongyang was deafened by the sound of gunfire during the warlord melee, so he was nicknamed "Zhu Deaf".
Although Zhu Shizi is an illiterate illiterate, he has been in the world for many years and is quite smart. He knows the truth that rabbits do not eat grass by their nests. He only fights the rich but not the poor in Jinggangshan area, so the people still have a good impression of him and often sends information to him.
Once warlord troops came to encircle and suppress, Zhu Shizi knew it early through the information of the people. He also knew that his troops were too small to fight against the warlord troops. So he took his minions to run around the mountains. The warlord troops were dragged exhausted, and finally had to go home.
Zhu Shizi's move is very effective and has been tried and proved repeatedly. It even summarized it into an "exclusive secret", which is "no need to know how to fight, just know how to fight, fight if you can win, run if you can't win, drill if you can't win, drill if you can't win, and melt if you can't beat it (disguise yourself as a commoner)".
Therefore, Zhu Shizi was quite famous in the area of Gannan , which attracted many heroes to join him. Jinggangshan became famous because of this, and even attracted Chairman Mao's attention, thinking it was a good place to open up revolutionary bases.
In September 1927, Chairman Mao led the massive Autumn Harvest Uprising. Unfortunately, under the misguidedness of the wrong policy, the uprising failed in the end, and only a thousand people were left in the tens of thousands of uprising troops. At this critical moment, Chairman Mao changed his development direction in a timely manner and no longer blindly attacked big cities, but instead preserved his strength and established a base.
Chairman Mao had long known that Jinggangshan was a dangerous place, and had also heard of the names of Zhu Shizi and Yuan Wencai, Wang Zuo and others. Therefore, Chairman Mao focused on Jinggangshan and decided to go up the mountain to cooperate with these "grass-broken heroes" to establish a revolutionary base.
Under the leadership of Chairman Mao, Jinggangshan has developed rapidly and has continued to grow and grow into surrounding areas. This naturally caused panic among the reactionaries and sent heavy troops to encircle Jinggangshan.
Chairman Mao learned about Zhu Shizi's "unique secret" while leading the army to fight the encirclement and suppression. He was deeply inspired and agreed with Zhu Shizi's guerrilla warfare tactics very much. However, Chairman Mao also improved Zhu Shizi's "unique secret" and proposed that "not only should we be able to circle, but we should also be able to fight." "Internet" is to preserve strength, let the enemy fall into fatigue and passiveness, reveal flaws, and wait for an opportunity to eliminate the enemy.
Chairman Mao initially formed the principles of guerrilla warfare in 1928 through repeated combat practices, such as "dividing troops to mobilize the masses, concentrating to eliminate the enemy", "strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, luring the enemy into depth, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy retreats and we chase them, the enemy retreats and the enemy attacks less", etc.
Later, Chairman Mao realized that the number of troops was not necessarily equated with strength and weakness. "If the enemy is less, I will attack you" was still a certain degree of riskyness, so he changed it to "If the enemy is tired, I will attack you". Although it is only a word difference, the meaning is completely different.
makes the enemy tired and panic, which is not only a tactical measure, but also a strategic purpose. Therefore, it has more "possibility" and more guiding significance. From then on, the great "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy garrisons and I disturb you, the enemy is tired, I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase you" 's guerrilla warfare sixteen-character formula emerged and became the supreme program to guide our army guerrilla warfare .
This seemingly light tactic can not only be used to deal with the encirclement and suppression of Jinggangshan by local warlords with average strength, but also achieved great victory when facing the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in the Soviet area.
Chairman Mao’s greatness is here. He never disdains to sit in the office to formulate any system, but advocates summarizing experiences and lessons in specific battles, and is in good faith and embracing all rivers. Even if the ideas proposed by King Shanda, Chairman Mao would come without hesitation and use them for my own use. This is completely different from some so-called "authentic Bolsheviks" in the central government at that time.
The history of later has proved countless times that as long as we adhere to the military ideas proposed by Chairman Mao, our army will definitely win, and once we deviate from Chairman Mao’s military ideas, we will definitely fail.
