Military terminology
In December 1936, in his article "strategic issues of China's revolutionary war", Mao Zedong studied siege as an important issue in the implementation of mobile warfare. In October 1946, in the telegram to Jidong military region and Jire Liao military region drafted for the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, Mao Zedong made a special elaboration on the issue of besieging the city and fighting for aid. He pointed out: "your operational policy should focus on annihilating the enemy's effective forces, and then the enemy's occupation of each stronghold will naturally be easy for us to recover. In order to carry out this policy, we should encircle the city. The purpose of besieging the city is not to get the city, but to help. Concentrate seven or eight times the enemy's forces (for example, concentrate four or five regiments to fight one or two battalions of the enemy's reinforcements). We should be fully prepared in advance every time. If we do not fight in waves, we will win. When fighting, we must encircle and detour in order to annihilate as much as possible. " (collected works of Mao Zedong's military affairs, Vol. 3, P. 527) Mao Zedong believed that the key to using the tactics of encircling the city to fight for aid lies in dealing with the relationship between "encircling the city" and "fighting for aid". The purpose of besieging a city is not to get the city, but to fight for help. When fighting for help, we should divide and encircle the city in order to wipe it out. Besieging is a means to attract the enemy's help. We must choose key strongholds and central towns that can shake the enemy's overall situation. Besieging the enemy will save him. It is not necessary to have too many troops to besiege the city, but it is necessary to make a real attack to attract the enemy from other places to help. Aid is the purpose. We should select the favorable terrain on the traffic line where the enemy may reinforce. After the enemy enters the pre annihilation area, we should launch a fierce attack bravely and decisively, block the head, cut off the waist and cut off the tail, and divide the enemy to encircle and annihilate. We should be good at using this tactics flexibly according to different situations. There are several different changes in besieging, attacking and blocking, which should be handled flexibly according to the actual situation of the battlefield. The Chinese people's Liberation Army has adopted this method many times in the long-term revolutionary war and accumulated rich operational experience. During the war of liberation, the northwest field army launched the Yichuan campaign from February to march in 1948. It adopted the strategy of "encircling Yichuan and fighting for reinforcements". It encircled Yichuan first, then fought against the reinforced liukan troops, and finally fought against Yichuan and annihilated 30000 enemy troops. The East China field army launched the battle of Eastern Henan in June of the same year. It adopted the strategy of "attacking the city for aid". First it conquered Kaifeng, then it annihilated the district Shounian corps, stopped Qiu Qingquan corps, and annihilated more than 90000 enemy troops. Under modern conditions, the reconnaissance technology is advanced, and the deployment and attempt are easy to be exposed. In adopting this method of warfare, we should pay attention to the study of new means of deception and encirclement and annihilation.
