471. The chaotic and backward military system

There are wins and losses, people not only have to win, but also can afford to lose, and only if they can afford to lose, can they win, people who can't afford to lose, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to win, even if they win a little, they will be complacent and no longer progress.

As long as you go all out, there will be no regrets, and there will be no shame, and you will continue to learn from this in the future, take your past as your goal, constantly surpass yourself, and refresh your own record of yesterday, so that there will be progress.

At the final team competition mobilization meeting, Sangou decompressed everyone and cheered everyone up, this speech is really difficult.

The gold content of the championship in the team competition is the largest, no matter what level it is, being able to advance is a great encouragement and confidence enhancement for the whole company, so Sangou attaches great importance to this team competition and personally leads the team to the expedition.

The rules of the team competition are simple and rude, with the company as a unit, the whole company participates, the officers and men are the same, fully armed, 10 kilometers off-road, and after arriving at the destination of their own company, they immediately build fortifications as required.

Half an hour after arriving at the destination, they have the right to "attack" the nearby company, and the loser immediately becomes a subordinate of the winner's team, and then "fire".

Before the fire, report the company to which they belong, and those belonging to the same family do not need to fight, and those belonging to different genera will fight until six o'clock in the evening, and finally calculate which company has "merged" or defeated several companies.

Such rules are similar to the modern meaning of virus replication and merger, and the military department obviously does not regard this competition as an army-wide exercise or a confrontation at the regimental level and above.

This is obviously a test of each company's ability to fight independently, as well as its ability to cooperate with brother companies without the command of a higher authority.

In the era of hot weapons, a company is almost the best independent combat team, with more than 100 people in number, no more than no less, not only flexible but not bloated, but also able to concentrate on an effective tactical strike.

Combat units above the battalion level should take into account such factors as logistical supply, troop deployment and deployment, and coordination of arms and troops.

When it comes to combat units at the regimental level and above, in addition to considering logistics support, supply line security, multi-arm coordination, and targeted deployment, more consideration is given to the overall nature of a campaign, sacrificing certain interests or troops in exchange for overall victory, and so on.

Therefore, at the regimental level and above, it is necessary to set up a general staff department to provide operational research and plans for the military commanders, and the military commanders consider more decision-making based on weighing the pros and cons, rather than doing everything personally.

Because the time for China to build a modern army is very short, a large number of military commanders and generals have not completely and rapidly changed their operational thinking and concepts to modern warfare.

A large number of troops do not attach importance to the role of the staff officers and the general staff, resulting in the strength of the troops above the regimental level, relying on the ability of the military commander rather than the ability of the collective wisdom of the professional staff team.

Therefore, many units above the regimental level, especially division-level units, have been branded with a distinct style of commander-in-chief; once the commander-in-chief is outstanding, then the unit will be outstanding, and once the commander-in-chief is killed in battle, absent, or transferred, the unit will collapse.

Of course, in addition to the short period of time for the establishment of the army, the slow change of concepts and the lack of attention to the staff system, this is also related to the situation in China at that time, where warlords were everywhere, and cards were being shuffled and dealt everywhere, and the whole country was scattered.

Naturally, there was a mixture of good and bad, and there was no unified national system for reorganizing the army, and even after the Northeast changed banners, the whole country was nominally unified, and a national military system was formulated.

However, the warlords at the bottom still play their own games, ignoring the central government at all, believing that the central government is unfair and wanting to weaken the localities and strengthen the central government.

Therefore, most of China's armed forces, with the exception of the Central Army and a few local warlords with relatively large strength, are able to effectively rectify the armed forces, while the others are more independent of each other, and there are many weapons and systems and standards.

Now the main opponent, the Japanese army is not, the people are unified, there are standards to implement, and it has been strictly implemented for nearly a hundred years, even if there are slight changes in the middle or advancing with the times, but the overall has not changed much.

The Japanese army has a strict officer training system, a professional promotion system, and attaches great importance to the role of staff officers and staff departments, so the coordination ability of multiple arms and large corps is more than a few grades higher than that of the Chinese army.

At present, the Chinese army, taking the most powerful Central Army as an example, has only been built for a short period of more than 10 years.

From the 15th year of the Republic of China (1926), the Whampoa Military Academy was opened, and there was a real army of its own, to the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), which is 12 years.

The Whampoa Military Academy graduated in half a year, a year or two at the earliest, and it needed a large number of officers and students to enrich the rapidly expanding army, so these officers and students hardly had much time to really sit down and learn many things.

The Whampoa Military Academy is also well aware of this, so it can only rely on spiritual education and advocate the Whampoa spirit of not being afraid of death, so that it can win the victory of the Northern Expedition in a short period of time by relying on the spirit of low-level officers who are not afraid of death and take the lead.

But now, in the face of the Japanese army, which has absolute superiority in firepower, and then adopting that kind of backward tactics, it may be able to have some effect in a certain part.

On the frontal battlefield as a whole, this tactic of charging in a sea of people is tantamount to suicide in the face of the Japanese army with superior firepower, and the military commander is tantamount to committing a crime.

Just like the Gui Army's ace Seventh Army in the Battle of Songhu, three infantry divisions initiated a sea of attack, and were disabled in less than half a day, those are valuable veterans with strength and experience, and they ended up needlessly sacrificing under cheap steel.

China's top military leadership is well aware of this weakness of its own army, and relying on the structure of the central military system established by the officers and students of the Whampoa Military Academy, these officers can only command up to the regimental level at most, and then they lack knowledge and are unable to do so.

Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs has accelerated the establishment of the Army University, attaching importance to the training of staff officers, as well as the full-time training of officers returning to the furnace for reengineering, and also to the establishment of a staff officer system in the troops.

Many chiefs of staff above the division level give priority to the military supervisors at the bottom line, that is, officers who have led soldiers to the battlefield, and are practical combat rather than academic.

Although Lu University has also cultivated a lot of talents in the past few years, it still takes time for the overall concept to change, and a large number of military commanders look down on staff officers, and Lao Tzu has fought all the way up from the bottom, so why should he listen to one who has been parachuted down.

Second, they don't like delegating power, and they are unwilling to hand over the power of the army's operational research and deployment and plans, and if you have excellent personal ability and can handle these things by yourself, then it doesn't matter.

But this is almost impossible to accomplish, at least the workload of a staff team, you alone is enough, not to mention that there is a specialization in the art industry.
