2022-03-24
How about today "you hit you, I hit me" introduction "You hit you, I hit me" is Mao Zedong's high generalization of the people's war strategy and tactics of our army characterized by flexibility and mobility on the basis of summing up the long-term experience of the Chinese revolutionary war. It aims to develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, seize and grasp the initiative. It is the essence of our military and civil war strategy and tactics, and has guided our military's war practice and achieved brilliant victory. In the future era of information and intelligent war, "you fight you, I fight me" is still an important rule for winning the battlefield. Keep an eye on the battlefield and see "you hit you, I hit me" The key to the use of "you hit you, I hit me" is to study the real meaning of the words "I", "you" and "hit". I "is myself. I should have a clear judgment on myself and understand my strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages; "You" is the opponent. We should have a scientific study and judgment on the opponent to find out the strength, advantages and disadvantages of the opponent; "Fighting" is a battle. Only by understanding many factors affecting the battle and making reasonable analysis and judgment can we formulate the best strategy and tactics. Be good at building the strategy and tactics of "I". One of the important reasons why our army can win the strong with the weak and win the many with the few in history is that it has formed the playing method with the characteristics of "I" and can be used flexibly, so as to master the battlefield initiative. For example, during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, Mao Zedong formulated the playing method of guerrilla warfare for the Red Army, which was later transformed into mobile warfare, and won four victories against "encirclement and suppression"; During the Anti Japanese War, Mao Zedong raised guerrilla warfare to a strategic position and formed a unique "I" playing method of China's anti aggression war; During the war of liberation, Mao Zedong closely combined mobile warfare, positional warfare and guerrilla warfare to form new strategies and tactics and won the victory of the war of liberation. Be good at observing the weaknesses of "you". The tactics of "I" are not divorced from the self design of the opponent, but the innovation and development of different opponents. Through the objective analysis of the enemy, we can find the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and then give full play to our subjective initiative, avoid the enemy's strengths, seize the enemy's weaknesses, use our own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and win the battlefield initiative. During the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Mao Zedong pointed out: "our wish is not to fight, but if you have to fight, you have to let you fight. You fight you, I fight me, you fight the atomic bomb, I fight the grenade, seize your weakness, follow you, and finally defeat you." This tells us a constant truth: study and master the opponent's weaknesses and strengths, avoid the enemy's strengths and stare at the enemy's weaknesses. Make good use of the right time and place. With the playing method of "I", know the weakness of "you", and make good use of the favorable time and place of "playing", the balance of victory will tend to "I". What is emphasized here is to insist on giving priority to ourselves and create and open up battlefield conditions conducive to "me" to defeat the enemy. In 1947, Chiang Kai Shek concentrated his troops to attack the base areas in Northern Shaanxi and Shandong. Mao Zedong jumped out of the "thinking imprisonment" according to the National Battlefield Situation, insisted on internal fighting with a small number of troops, commanded the three major armies to advance into the Central Plains, made an intermediate breakthrough with the "product" array, directly threatened the enemy's hinterland, sent strange troops in the enemy's weak key points, and opened the prelude to the strategic counter offensive at one fell swoop. The location and timing of "fighting" should rely on the "me"'s keen judgment on the battlefield, and win the winning advantage by actively creating strange and skillful soldiers. Follow the modern perspective to seek "you hit you, I hit me" In modern war, "you fight you, I fight me", the emphasis is to optimize and integrate the existing combat resources with the support of network information system; Under the guidance of flexible campaign tactics, make efficient use of combat forces; The key is to strike at key and weak targets, break through the enemy's combat system and seek asymmetric advantages against the enemy. The fundamental guidance is information empowerment and striving for initiative. "You hit you, I hit me" emphasizes that the commander should creatively use his own combat resources according to the objective reality of the battlefield, and strive to take the initiative and cause others rather than others. The key is to seize the initiative of the battlefield, obtain freedom of action and control the combat process. At the same time, the enemy is trapped in passivity, disturb the enemy's command and disorderly the enemy's deployment, force him to deal with it and make the situation develop in a direction conducive to his own side. Modern warfare emphasizes the efficient guidance of material flow by information flow, the accurate release of energy flow, and the improvement of battlefield perception ability with comprehensive, accurate and real-time intelligence information to find the enemy first; Use stable, efficient and smooth command information to improve command and control ability and make decisions before the enemy; Use accurate, agile and mutually known collaborative information to improve the ability of collaborative action and act first. While enabling our information, we will destroy the enemy's information capability, so as to seize the advantage against the enemy and maintain the initiative in combat. The essence of thought is to gather energy in motion and strike the weak with the strong. "You hit you, I hit me" emphasizes concentrating superior combat resources on the weak of the enemy at a time and in a way unexpected to hostility, attacking the weak of the enemy with our strength and the enemy's inability with our own ability, so as to form a local asymmetric advantage. In modern war, the battlefield space has been expanded to multidimensional fields such as land, sea, air, space, electricity and network. They restrict, influence and support each other. Failure in any single field may lead to overall failure; It is difficult to achieve any practice of separating inter domain ties and trying to win the war with a single domain advantage. Therefore, we should not only be good at defeating the enemy with strong areas or strong points of areas, but also pay attention to giving full play to the system efficiency, and make up for the shortcomings of single areas with the strengths of other areas, that is, use the command information system to integrate the combat forces scattered in various fields into a system, use the accurate information flow to guide and focus various force effects on one or some combat fields, and exchange some absolute advantages for the overall comparative advantage. The way to achieve this is accurate energy release and system attack. "You hit you, I hit me" emphasizes concentrating the superior forces of all services and arms and in all operational fields, aiming at the key hubs and key targets supporting the enemy's operational system to attack and destroy the point paralysis. The key characteristics of modern warfare system are more obvious. For example, strike the enemy's reconnaissance, early warning, command and control systems and destroy its combat perception system; Attack the enemy's transportation hubs, military enterprises and other systems, and destroy their combat support systems. The key to breaking the enemy's system lies in "accurate energy release", that is, to find the center of gravity of the enemy's combat system through accurate reconnaissance; Through accurate planning, analyze the enemy's weak parts and calculate the attack mode, time and effect; Through precise command, coordinate all kinds of strike, support and support forces to act orderly and release energy accurately; Through accurate evaluation, we can effectively judge the damage effect of the target and provide decision-making basis for follow-up actions, so as to exchange the minimum cost for the optimal result. Close to the background of the times and use "you hit you, I hit me" In today's world, starting with the wide application of information technology in the military field, fundamental changes are taking place in modern war from cognitive framework to combat mode and winning mechanism. We should adapt to the requirements of the evolution of war form and the reform of combat mode, and flexibly use "you fight you, I fight me" according to the characteristics and laws of war and winning mechanism. The first is invincible, and the focus of operational planning is to form a situation of self-interest. "You hit you and I hit me" was put forward under the specific background of the enemy's strong and I'm weak. It focuses on planning from the perspective of the overall situation, not limited to one field at a time. We should start from the overall situation and plan the pre war situation beneficial to us. First, because of "you" planning. We should find out our opponents, plan the strategy of defeating the enemy, and lead the strategic situation to the direction of our own initiative. In terms of operational planning, we should be good at avoiding the enemy's strength, concentrate our talents to attack the enemy's weakness, aim at its weak links and key targets, concentrate firepower to attack in the shortest possible time, paralyze the enemy's operational system and destroy the enemy's will to war. Second, because of "I" planning. We should not only understand the overall situation of the strength of the enemy and ourselves at the macro level, but also understand our strengths and weaknesses at the micro level, pay attention to giving full play to our strengths to defeat the enemy, promote the transformation of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and guide the strategic situation to develop in a direction favorable to us. Especially in modern wars, all countries have their own "trump card" forces. The scale of the war may be limited, but the intensity is great. We should pay attention to giving full play to the overall joint force of all combat forces. Third, due to "time" planning. When planning a war, we should pay attention to reducing or avoiding the opportunity of "you hit you", and create and grasp the fighters that are conducive to "I hit me". When it is not conducive to me, we should try our best to avoid fighting. It is because we resolutely fight the enemy at the favorable opportunity, so as to form and maintain the strategic situation that we always have the first opportunity. The use of tactics focuses on achieving asymmetric advantages. The core of "you hit you, I hit me" is to defeat the enemy by asymmetric means, not playing cards according to the enemy's routine, making it difficult for the enemy to adapt and finally forcing the enemy to submit. One is not to play according to the routine of "you". Study and analyze the opponent's combat examples, analyze the enemy's habitual combat means and the construction of information system, avoid the enemy's combat routine, highlight the innovation of "our" combat methods, and carry out flexible and independent operations without being controlled by the enemy. Second, focus on the weakness of "you". In modern war, network information system is the "multiplier" supporting the operations of various countries. Although it is the focus of defense, it is also a weakness and death hole because of its huge architecture. Therefore, we should aim at the enemy's command network nodes and spatial information nodes, focus on physical destruction, strike hard and paralyze the body. Third, give play to the advantages of "I". Make good use of the comparative advantages of "I", fully tap the national strategic system and capacity potential, concentrate elite and sharp weapons in main directions and important fields, and break out the routine of "I". The key to controlling the war situation lies in mastering the initiative of the battlefield. The key to "you hit you, I hit me" is to maintain the initiative in combat and make the war situation develop in a direction conducive to yourself. This is a superb art of command and control. First, we should start on our own. Avoid the enemy in a reasonable way, do not entangle with the enemy, and do not confront the enemy at the time and place expected by the enemy in the way expected by the enemy. Instead, implement flexible and mobile operations, mobilize the enemy and seek aircraft to annihilate the enemy. Second, we need more legal control bureaus. Make good use of various methods and means, so that we can not only concentrate our firepower on attacking the enemy's key targets in the shortest possible time, suppress the enemy's combat capability, but also avoid the enemy's edge and stabilize the war situation, and then choose a favorable opportunity to fight the enemy, so as to control the combat process, scale and intensity within the expected range of "I". Third, we should close the game steadily and carefully. We should not only fight a political and military war well, make full use of political means and take the initiative to end the war in a way beneficial to ourselves, but also fight a military and political war well, always maintain military pressure, create political initiative with military victory and ensure that the end is beneficial to ourselves.
