War, every time these two words are mentioned, it will emerge as heavy and cruel in itself. From ancient times to the present, war has never stopped, it is not only a means of force to solve problems, but also the reliance of the powerful hegemon.
Many countries are still using war to seize profits, and countless families are terrified and weepy. At the end of each war, the large number of casualties of soldiers looks like just a string of numbers, but behind each number is a living life.
"Drunken battlefield Jun Mo smiled, how many people did Gu Lai fight back?" This Liangzhou poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han fully embodies the cruelty of war. Many poets have depicted scenes of war, extremely shocking and cruel pictures, naked in front of everyone's eyes.
In ancient China, many Oftes were shrouded in corpses and regarded death as a homecoming. So why did the soldiers in the first row, knowing that they were bound to die, rush forward desperately? The reason behind this is frustrating and poignant.
First, the ancient battlefield
In ancient times, wars used cold weapons, and only by sacrificing their lives with the enemy could they exchange a glimmer of life. Among the many well-known battles in ancient China, all of them paid attention to strategic plans, and there are many examples of winning more with less.
As the commander of the commanding soldiers, the general needs to learn not only management thinking, but also the platoon deployment. Each branch of the armed forces has its own duties, and when it will play its role is strictly regulated, so that it can be won in a large battle.
The role of the soldiers standing in the first row is even more important. They stand out through layers of selection, various trainings, not only represent the overall appearance of a team, but also determine whether to take the lead in the battle.
Although the soldiers in the first row could not decide the key to victory or defeat, their role was to better motivate the morale of their companions behind them and to bravely move forward in order to survive the battle.
Before hearing the general's order, everyone was in a tight position, and the soldiers in the first row had to bear the greatest pressure. They must concentrate on ensuring that they receive the information of the attack at the first time, and they may not think about their own life and death, but how to take the lead in defeating the enemy and ensuring the superiority of their own army.
2. Platooning
There are many branches of the army, and there is also a very large gap between veterans and recruits. Compared with new recruits, veterans have rich combat experience and skills that are better than recruits by several levels. Therefore, those who charge in the first row will generally be arranged for veterans. Unless it is a particularly excellent performance, all abilities are not inferior to veterans, and even new recruits who are too late will be placed in the front row.
Veterans need to take the lead, so that the recruits behind them can learn more experience, and the whole team will continue to grow and improve. Some of the new recruits, they are full of fear of war, and even flee.
Veterans will not have this situation, they are accustomed to the ruthlessness of the battlefield, the psychological quality is higher, most of them will only fight more and more courageously. The two armies are at war, and only the more morale-boosted side will win the final victory.
And the reward behind the soldiers in the first row was also very useful in making the soldiers in the first row willingly fight. Their rewards are higher than others, and if they are unfortunate enough to die in battle, their families receive generous pensions.
If they can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, they will also be promoted to knights, and there are many generals who have also gone up step by step from the lowest level, and they are eager to make meritorious achievements. Napoleon famously said, "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier." ”
3. Reward for meritorious deeds
The reward and punishment system has always been the only law in the barracks, and it firmly restricts the behavior of every soldier. There are no rules and no squares, and every place has its own special responsibilities. Soldiers who fight bravely on the battlefield will be rewarded handsomely, and soldiers who flee from the battlefield will naturally not escape severe punishment. If deserters are caught, they are generally directly executed, and only those who perform well in the barracks in peacetime will make up for their achievements.
But in fact, in the ancient battlefield, few people were deserters. After all, the two words "deserter" represent a series of undignified acts such as cowardice, irresponsibility, and lack of courage.
Few people would be willing to bear such a name, they are all elite soldiers selected through strict selection, and from the moment they take up arms, they have already made up their minds to defend their families and defend the country, and they will not easily succumb to the shadow of death.
There are also relative departments of responsibility in the military, which are specifically responsible for solving the problem of escape. Supervising the army is to strictly supervise whether the soldiers have the heart to fight the war, and whether they have other careful thoughts.
If the overseers find that there are people who shake the hearts of the army, then only the cold blade awaits him. With a strict reward and punishment system, the soldiers in the first row will bravely move forward, hoping that they will be rewarded.
Fourth, the key to victory
The battle is not about the victory of the battle, whichever has more people. Unless the numerical disparity between the two sides is too large, an overwhelming victory will be achieved. As the brain of the commander of a thousand armies, the general needs to think about how to maximize the benefits at the lowest cost.
On the battlefield, if the general under his command does not understand the military law and strategy, but only relies on more people than the other side, and the disorderly attack will only make the soldiers under them sacrifice their lives in vain.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing the other, never losing a battle, only by understanding the situation of the other side enough and analyzing the most effective tactics will we achieve the key to victory. The soldiers followed the correct laws, attacked according to the laws, and disintegrated the other side like a bamboo, all of which were inseparable from the credit of the general's decision-making.
The soldiers in the first row were veterans with a wealth of experience, and no one knew how to defeat the enemy in the first place better than they did, and no one had a stronger desire to survive than they did.
Why do they have such a strong psychological quality? Because behind them are the country, the family, the people who are waiting for them to go back. The heart belongs, and the battle is invincible.
5. Summary
Soldiers standing in a row may not be the most able to fight, but they must be the bravest. When the horn of attack sounded and everyone rushed forward at a rapid pace, what were these soldiers thinking as they charged? Believe it must be their own country and love their families.
These gave them enough courage to fight death, and although they knew that they might never be able to go back, the spirit they left behind was really shocking and timeless. True warriors dare to face the dripping blood, although thousands of people are looking forward to it.
Today's wars are more cruel than in ancient times, with the continuous development of science and technology, the birth of hot weapons, so that countries have the capital to launch wars, and compared with the previous cold weapons have a stronger destructive power.
Many countries are still waging wars for resources, countless families are falling apart, and in every war, the people are the most afflicted. The peace and prosperity of our country today are also the sacrifices of countless martyrs in exchange for themselves, and we must cherish this hard-won victory even more.
