Military Forum | Utilizing the wisdom of the masses to create miracles on the battlefield
2025-06-26
In the history of our military development, many groundbreaking innovations have come from grassroots officers and soldiers, and are the original wisdom crystallization of ordinary officers and soldiers. During the War of Resistance Against Japan in 1941, facing the large-scale sweeping operations carried out by the invading Japanese army in North China, the military and civilians in the anti Japanese base areas such as Jiaodong and Jin Cha Ji launched arduous anti sweeping struggles, creating mass guerrilla warfare methods such as landmine warfare, tunnel warfare, and sparrow warfare, effectively combating the enemy's arrogance and leaving a significant mark in the history of our army's resistance against Japan. Landmine warfare, tunnel warfare, sparrow warfare and other tactics are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation in extreme difficulties, revealing the profound power of people's war and the infinite power of tactical innovation. These shining examples remind us that the outcome of war depends not only on the quality of weapons, but also on whether the power and wisdom of the people can be transformed into the key to victory. Fearless of strong enemies, open up new opportunities in difficult situations. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army carried out a crazy sweep of our North China base areas in order to compress the living space of the base areas and consolidate the occupied areas. Faced with the fierce and well-equipped Japanese army, as well as the difficulties of weapon disadvantage and resource scarcity, the military and civilians in the base areas rose up to counterattack. Each county actively mobilized the masses, established various farmer self-defense armed forces, manufactured various types of landmines using local materials to fight against the enemy, actively carried out mine warfare, tunnel warfare, sparrow warfare, etc., and created a new situation of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, effectively striking the enemy, highlighting the spirit and quality of our military and civilians who are not afraid of strong enemies, risks, dare to struggle, and are brave enough to win. In future wars, facing strong opponents, the intensity, breadth, and difficulty of the war are incomparable to those of previous wars. Difficulties and dangers emerge constantly, but human factors are always the key to determining the outcome of the war. By exerting the subjective initiative of the people, gathering the forces of the Party, government, military, and people, and inspiring the brave and tenacious spirit of daring to overwhelm all enemies without being surrendered, the heroic spirit of fighting to the end, and the firm confidence to defeat the enemy and achieve victory, we can unleash enormous potential for war; It can unleash infinite creativity, unleash war wisdom, leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses, strike at the enemy's weaknesses, actively create conditions, use various means, turn disadvantages into advantages, reverse the situation, turn danger into safety, and lay the foundation for victory. Integrating intelligence and innovation, mobilizing the masses to seek good solutions. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, in order to improve the effectiveness of landmine use, the military committees of various counties in the base areas were fully mobilized, and the military and civilians carried out various innovations and technological breakthroughs. Iron sheets, stones, and other materials were used to make mine shells, match heads, sulfur were mixed with explosives, and even animal feces were used to mask odors. Pottery was used to manufacture landmines to prevent Japanese mine detection dogs and devices from detecting them. Designed dozens of types of landmines, including La Lei, Ta Lei, Jia Lei, Hair Silk Lei, Chain Lei, True and False Mother of Child Lei, Water Lei, and Flying Lei, achieving brilliant results and giving rise to many "landmine kings" and "explosion heroes". Despite numerous difficulties, fully mobilizing the masses is not difficult; Difficult to solve, but with the collective wisdom of the masses, there can be a solution. Flexible tactical warfare methods such as landmine warfare and tunnel warfare are, in a sense, the crystallization of the wisdom of the masses and the use of wisdom to defeat the enemy. In modern warfare, especially in the future information-based and intelligent warfare, the connotation of "intelligence" is richer, and the element of "strategy" is more prominent. Wisdom comes from the masses, and experience comes from the grassroots. It is even more necessary to brainstorm and work together to create a vivid situation where everyone seeks to win and comes up with high strategies. We should make good use of the wisdom of the masses and the power of technology, fully mobilize and mobilize the people to participate in and support wars, and contribute their wisdom; We must adhere to the principle of asking officers and soldiers for major decisions, solving tactics and strategies for officers and soldiers, and gathering wisdom for tackling difficult problems. Explore new tactics and strategies through open research and mass innovation, and find the "bridge" and "ship" to break through battlefield difficulties and win wars. Adopt strategies based on the situation and determine tactics based on the pros and cons. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, our military and civilians, based on the combat characteristics of the Japanese army, focused on the plain terrain, village distribution, and actual transportation routes, continuously enriched the forms and methods of landmine warfare, developed tactics that combined controlling key routes, ambushes, and explosions, and set up mines and underwater obstacle blockade lines in water towns. Especially, we organically combined mine warfare with tunnel warfare and sparrow warfare, forming tactics such as village warfare, siege and bunker fighting, and "delivering mines to the door". With the concealment and unpredictability of mine warfare and tunnel warfare, we offset the equipment advantage of the Japanese army. The reason why our army has been able to win repeatedly in previous wars and battles where the weak resist the strong is precisely because of these practical and feasible strategies and tactics, as well as flexible tactics tailored to the enemy and the region. In the future war, the situation is complex and unpredictable, which requires more guidance from dialectical materialism, understanding the objective reality of the opponent, oneself, and the environment, adapting to local conditions, seeking benefits and avoiding harm, based on one's own combat capabilities, identifying the strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses of the opponent, maximizing the use of various favorable aspects of the environment for our combat, adhering to the principle of "you fight yours, I fight mine", emphasizing the strengths of one's own weapons and equipment, targeting the weaknesses of the opponent, and using one's own strengths to strike the enemy's weaknesses, in order to determine the combat style and choose combat methods, in order to do a good job in war design and formulate strategic tactics that are superior to the enemy. The collective effort is invincible; Whatever the wisdom of the masses does, nothing can be accomplished. To win future wars, we must respect the dominant position of officers and soldiers, give full play to their pioneering spirit, inspire their courage to innovate, their pioneering spirit, and their vigorous upward momentum, motivate everyone to become promoters and practitioners of innovation, and make planning, promoting, and implementing innovation a conscious action of the entire army.
