Psychological fighting intention is to attack his heart, disrupt his plan, relieve his energy, and seize his ambition. Through various methods, means and channels, the enemy's army is nervous, afraid, panic, doubtful, war-weary, and exhausted, and eventually completely collapses and loses its combat effectiveness.
Sun Tzu's Art of War
For example, during the Gulf War , the US military established the "Desert Shield Radio" in Saudi and broadcast the festivals continuously every day. There are current news, sports news, pop music, and exposing scandals of the Iraqi government; the US military also distributes a large number of anti-Iraq government and videotapes showing the strength of the US military in , Iraqi : more than 9,000 multi-band micro radios were airdropped, allowing the Iraqi people to listen to American radio stations specifically; the US military also airdropped 14 million flyers and manuals to persuade Iraqi officers and soldiers to surrender. The psychological warfare adopted by the United States works very well. It is reported that on January 17, 1991, shortly after the multinational air strike, more than 1,200 Iraqi officers and soldiers defected and their whereabouts were unknown. On February 24, 1991, when the multinational troops launched a ground attack, the Iraqi army officers and soldiers surrendered to the multinational troops in groups, including generals.
Gulf War classic picture
Like all local wars after World War II , while the United States and NATO launched air strikes on Yugoslavia , they also dispatched professional psychological warfare teams to use various modern communication means to carry out battlefield propaganda offensives. They specially set up a flight radio station code-named "Captain Solo Commando" and opened a "Voice of NATO" radio station, using powerful power to broadcast programs from over the battlefield to the military and civilians of the Confederate. This flight broadcast station is dispatched on time every day and locks the broadcast frequency on the same frequency as the National Radio of Yugoslavia, which causes the Southern military and civilians to have psychological illusions and errors. In addition, NATO has formed a psychological warfare operation team, responsible for spreading flyers, car stickers and news briefings to the Confederate Yugoslavia, and distributing more than 11 million flyers in total. These leaflets include those who promote NATO's advanced weapons and military advantages, those who persuade the soldiers of the Confederate Yugoslavia to put down their weapons and surrender, and those who encourage the people of the South to rise up and overthrow the current regime. The content is diverse and has a certain temptation and motivation. NATO's military and political leaders also took the battle to increase their efforts to attack the heart. On the third day of the bombing, US President Clinton delivered a video speech to the Confederate Yugoslavia through satellites, directly calling on the Southern Army and civilians to support NATO's actions. US Secretary of State Albright also made similar speeches in Serbian . In order to cause psychological panic and induce psychological crises among the military and civilians of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, NATO also widely used rumors to spread out of nothing. For example, lying that the leader of Yugoslavia had already allowed his wife and children to flee Yugoslavia during the air strike, the General Staff of the South People's Army has moved to civilian targets to avoid bombing, etc.
NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
In the war, the focus was to show NATO the mighty and unyielding national integrity of the South military and civilians and their determination to fight against powerful enemies, point out the shameful end of the invasion of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and shake the combat confidence of NATO officers and soldiers. After the first round of air strikes, the South Government immediately declared a state of war. The TV station repeatedly played songs praising the motherland and the army, as well as feature films resisting Nazi German aggression during World War II. During the bombing of more than 50 days in the following 50 days, South China reported a large number of reports on military and civilian unity and defending the motherland through various media. In view of the NATO military's fear of casualties, it made specific analysis and predictions on the prospects of NATO's continued bombing and launching ground wars. It clearly pointed out that South China's military and civilians vowed to defend the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity to the death. If NATO dares to take military risks, it will repeat the mistakes of Hitler and suffer major casualties.
