Chapter VI The Beginning of Guerrilla Warfare

Chu Sinan wants to fight a guerrilla war, at least in the next one to two months, the battle he wants to engage in is a guerrilla war in a sense. If it comes to fighting guerrilla warfare, Chu Sinan, who was born in the orthodox military of China, undoubtedly has a theoretical foundation. The guerrilla warfare tactics of Chinese soldiers are unmatched by any country in the world, whether in theory or practical experience.

Some people may say that the Vietnamese's guerrilla warfare is also very powerful. They used this tactic to exhaust the arrogant Americans. Some people may say that the former Yugoslavia's guerrilla warfare is also very powerful. The former Yugoslavia's guerrilla warfare in World War II was led by the famous Tito, and even the Germans were unable to finally wipe out them.

However, if you look at history, you can clearly see that compared with these two, the guerrilla warfare used by the Chinese army is definitely a model among examples and the essence among the essence.

The Vietnamese guerrilla warfare can only be said to be based on the background of the Chinese military's guerrilla warfare tactics. It is a rough and pirated version that is absolutely copied and copied. This is like a genetic inheritance in a sense - a son can inherit some of Lao Tzu's characteristics, but it is absolutely impossible to look exactly like Lao Tzu.

It is precisely because of this that the Vietnamese resisted the American invasion and could use the seemingly proficient and vivid fighting style of guerrilla warfare, which made the Americans suffer enough. But when it came to the Sino-Vietnam conflict, their guerrilla warfare suddenly failed. Is it that guerrilla warfare tactics were outdated at that time? No, the real reason was that they encountered Chinese soldiers who started their careers with guerrilla warfare. "Take a fancy to show off their skills and sell water by the river," such ridiculous mistakes are the main reasons for the failure of the Vietnamese guerrilla warfare.

As for the guerrilla warfare in the former Yugoslavia, it is even more worth mentioning. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the Soviet Union's Western Progressive Law, and the main energy of Hitler and the Yugoslav puppet government did not focus on them, this organization, which is more similar to the Rangers, would have been destroyed long ago.

Guerrilla warfare is by no means a simple harassment or attack, it is just its basic way of combat. Real guerrilla warfare is just a concept in the development process. Its most fundamental purpose is to consume the enemy's experience and kill the enemy's living forces through this way of combat. At the same time, it also needs to gradually develop and strengthen itself in this process. If there is no such a gradual development and growth process, then guerrilla warfare is meaningless, and at best it is a small fight.

Chu Sinan knew very well that if he wanted to make this guerrilla warfare exciting, he had to give his subordinate troops sufficient decision-making power. He had received special military education, and would never forget the old predecessors' conclusion on the principle of guerrilla warfare command: "Combining strategic centralized command with decentralized command in battles." It is precisely because of this that he fought for the danger of taking full responsibility and had absolute battle decision-making power from the commanding department, and promoted this decision-making situation to the subordinate troops of the entire front.

Now, he has done the first step, and what he has left is to focus on preserving the military's strength, pay close attention to the development of the war, and wait for an opportunity to transform guerrilla warfare into regular warfare.

When it comes to how to preserve the strength of the army, Chu Sinan also felt a little headache. The military's combat effectiveness reduction is not just a combat reduction. Others such as injury reduction, hunger and cold reduction caused by lack of logistics supply, etc. At present, the most likely thing that the team he led is hunger and cold reduction caused by lack of logistics supply.

To be honest, the guerrilla warfare tactics proposed in China seem to be not easy to promote in the Soviet Union. China is vast and densely populated. As long as a guerrilla team takes root in the masses, they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. In no time, they can open up a base area and rely on self-sufficiency to solve the problem. What about the Soviet Union? The situation in China is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, with primitive jungles and swamps distributed widely, especially in the areas near the Baltic Sea, Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega in the north, with water networks and fewer residents gatherings. When guerrilla warfare is carried out in this place, logistics supply is quite a problem. What about it? It is still in the severe winter season and the cruel environment is enough to pose a fatal lethal force to a large-scale guerrilla force.

How to solve the problem of eating in the army without ice and snow, without villages and shops behind? How to solve the medical problems of the wounded soldiers in the army after every small-scale battle? How to protect their own troops, always maintain high fighting spirit in such a difficult situation, etc. These problems are displayed in front of Chu Sinan, which makes him a headache and miserable. Only now does he truly admire the old predecessors in the country who command groups of outstanding soldiers and developed the theory of guerrilla warfare to the peak in those difficult years that they could not bear to look back on. I really don’t know how they considered and how they solved them when they faced these problems?

In the end, in a helpless situation, Chu Sinan made a decision that almost killed him soon after - to disperse the only guard division he controlled, and disperse the battle in the regiment. Beside him, he only brought the troops of a guard company, plus a communication squad with no combat power and mainly female soldiers. In order to maintain the absolute combat effectiveness of this guard division, Chu Sinan gave the entire division level and above before dismantling the team. The commander held a special meeting. At this meeting, he asked each regiment to maintain contact with division and brigade-level units at all times, and the distance between the movements of each unit should not be too far away, so that if the war situation allows or is necessary, they can organize cooperative combat with each other. At the same time, in order to ensure the logistics supply of each unit, Chu Sinan also suggested that all scattered troops should try to define their range of activities in areas close to villages and towns, but not strategic roads.

At this time, Chu Sinan, who had arranged key points for various groups, had not realized that his arrangement had created an extremely dangerous mistake for himself. At the same time, it was precisely because of the existence of this mistake that he almost died of the German sniper's gun several times in just two months after that. In order to knock him and his mobile command, the German Northern Cluster Command even set up a special plan - "Hunting the Wolf Head".

However, it is precisely because of this omission that the name Chu Sinan has a more mysterious and legendary color in the minds of the Soviet troops and the Soviets...
