The four key points of "cautious initial battle"

2025-07-29   

Prudence in the initial battle has always been an important principle followed by military strategists. A good initial battle can not only grasp the initiative of the battlefield and promote the development of the battle in a favorable direction, but also boost morale and consolidate willpower. Especially in the modern battlefield where "the first battle is the final battle", it is even more important to win the first battle well. Only by carefully considering the internal requirements of the first battle can we ensure victory in the first battle. Discovering the weakness of the enemy is a prerequisite. Modern warfare is a confrontation between systems, and conducting composite strikes on the weaknesses of enemy systems is one of the important ways to improve combat effectiveness. This is especially true for the "first battle" of information-based and intelligent warfare. Therefore, "avoiding the strong and attacking the weak" should be analyzed as a prerequisite for starting the "first battle". On the one hand, when analyzing enemy situations, system analysis and correlation analysis can be used to analyze important nodes in the enemy's combat system and network construction, and weight values can be assigned to identify key nodes; On the other hand, various measures such as disturbance, mobilization, and attack can be taken to fully mobilize the enemy, causing their troops to become fatigued and their morale to be depressed, avoiding their sharpness and attacking their laziness, expanding the "enemy weakness" and allowing them to develop in a direction that is beneficial to oneself. Acquiring 'geographical advantage' is the foundation. Combat is a confrontational activity carried out within a certain battlefield space. Obtaining "geographical advantage" not only allows for concealing combat intentions, unleashing weapon power, and reducing casualties, but also enables the enemy to engage in combat with oneself under unfavorable battlefield conditions, weakening its advantage and increasing the probability of winning the "first battle". On the one hand, based on our own perspective, we need to evaluate our own capabilities and see what terrain conditions we are good at fighting in; On the other hand, it is necessary to evaluate the enemy's capabilities from the enemy's perspective, collect enemy training and combat data, analyze the enemy's combat capabilities in the terrain, conduct terrain modeling, and then carry out simulation and deduction to determine whether the "geographical advantage" conditions are generally favorable to oneself. Strength 'gathering excellence' is the center of gravity. Modern warfare emphasizes decentralized deployment and centralized strike, which is also an inherent requirement for the "initial battle". To achieve power "aggregation optimization", it is necessary to check whether there is redundancy in spectrum resources, network bandwidth, information equipment, etc., to ensure the multi link operation of the network system; It also depends on whether the firepower platform's range, accuracy, system response time, etc. can support uninterrupted output of precise firepower, and be prepared to ensure emergency response. It depends on whether each command organization has the ability to synchronize, command agilely, and make efficient decisions in different locations, and whether they can keep up with the pace of combat; It also depends on whether the mobility and reaction speed of the troops can match the information, firepower, and intelligence, in order to determine whether it is beneficial to oneself. Finding a 'fighter jet' is key. The favorable conditions for our own side cannot be generated simultaneously, but as long as we seize the favorable opportunity, we can win the "first battle" well. On the one hand, commanders should always pay attention to the adjustment of enemy forces, especially the deployment of important weapon platforms. When the enemy's strength is significantly enhanced, even if other conditions are met, they should not easily use troops and remain on standby; When the enemy's strength is significantly weakened, carefully analyze the enemy situation, judge that there is no intention of temptation or mobilization, and decisively launch the "first battle". On the other hand, commanders need to demonstrate their initiative and creativity by constantly deceiving and manipulating the enemy through small attacks, based on the personality traits of enemy commanders.
