National Defense Knowledge: China's Military Strategy

China's military strategy is an active defense military strategy. The old generation of proletarian militarists represented by Mao Zedong, starting from China's national conditions and the objective realities of the enemy and us, created the strategic idea of active defense with distinctive Chinese characteristics on the basis of the practice of leading the people's army to victoriously conduct a domestic revolutionary war and a war of counter-invasion. In the years of the revolutionary war, the people's army was guided by this strategic thought and defeated powerful enemies at home and abroad. After the founding of New China, this idea has been further developed and utilized in the military struggle for the defense of national sovereignty and security, and has become the fundamental strategic thought guiding the overall situation of the national military struggle.

First, active defense is in line with the national conditions of China's correct military strategy

China's revolutionary war in a fairly long historical period, in the conditions of the enemy's strength and our weakness, in the position of strategic defense. The question of strategic defense became the most complex and important issue in the operations of the people's army. Military adventurism, which speaks only of attack and denies defense, and military conservatism or escapism, which speaks only of defense and denies attack, can only lead to the defeat of the war. Only the implementation of active defense is the only correct strategy for the weak people's army to overcome the powerful enemy and ultimately win the war. The essence of the strategy of active defense is the dialectical unity of offense and defense on the premise of strategic defense. It is mainly embodied in the following two aspects: first, the strategic defense and battle fighting on the offensive, strategic persistence and battle fighting on the quick decision, the strategic internal combat fighting the external quick decision offensive combat, gradually weakening the enemy, to achieve the purpose of strategic defense. Secondly, the strategic defense is organically combined with the strategic counter-offensive and the strategic offensive, and in due course the strategic defense is directed to the strategic counter-offensive or the strategic offensive, so as to carry out a strategic duel with the enemy's main force under favorable conditions, and completely annihilate the enemy. It is in this sense, active defense is also called offensive defense, duel defense.

In different historical periods and strategic stages, active defense military strategy has different contents and forms of expression. In the period of the Land Revolutionary War, the Red Army carried out the initial combat? The enemy is in my retreat, the enemy is stationed in my disturbance, the enemy is tired of my fight, the enemy is retreating in my pursuit? the principle of combat. Later, in order to break the enemy's encirclement and annihilation. the Red Army adopted the principle of "luring the enemy deeper and deeper into the enemy's territory". To break the enemy's encirclement, the Red Army adopted the strategic policy of "luring the enemy deeper and deeper". strategic policy, and practiced flexible guerrilla movement warfare. During the Anti-Japanese War, the active defense strategy was manifested in the general policy of prolonged war and the implementation of the "guerrilla war" by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. The basic approach was guerrilla warfare, but without relaxing the movement warfare under favorable conditions. During the Liberation War, the core of the active defense strategy was to annihilate the Kuomintang's vitality. to annihilate the vital forces of the Kuomintang rather than to conserve the localities? In the War of Resistance against the United States and North Korea, the Volunteer Army practiced the strategic counter-offensive phase of ? the policy of mainly movement warfare, combined with partial positional warfare and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. In the strategic defense phase, the Volunteer Army practiced the policy of "protracted combat, active defense". The strategic defense phase was based on the policy of "protracted combat and active defense". The Chinese government has also adopted the policy of "lasting war and active defense" in the stage of strategic defense.

After China entered the period of socialist revolution and construction, the military strategy of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was still active defense, but the situation and content were very different. The PLA's strategic implementation of the principles of defense, self-defense and rear-guard action is no longer merely focused on the situation of enemy strength and weakness, but is mainly determined by the nature, mission and foreign policy of the socialist state; what the military strategy seeks to solve is no longer the problem of seizing power, but rather the safeguarding of the country's sovereignty and security, and the defense of the cause of socialist modernization and construction; and the judgment of military strategy is no longer confined to the domestic class In 1956, the Central Military Commission (CMC) formulated the first strategic policy for the period of peace-building after the founding of New China, namely, the strategic policy of active defense for the defense of the motherland. in the 1960s and 1970s, mainly due to the sharp deterioration of China's security environment and an overestimation of the dangers of war, China adopted the strategic policy of active defense and luring the enemy deeper into the country. As a result, China adopted the policy of active defense and luring the enemy to go deeper and deeper, based on coping with the most difficult situations and preparing for the enemy to fight an early, big and nuclear war. in the early 1980s, in response to the characteristics of the future all-out anti-invasive war, the Central Military Commission established the strategic policy of active defense, putting forward the strategic guiding principles of adhering to rearguard action, adhering to the people's war, adhering to protracted combat, basing itself on the ability to defeat the enemy with inferior equipment, and basing itself on the most complicated and difficult situations. The guiding principles of the strategy of combat. Although no world war or large-scale foreign invasion eventually occurred, the PLA had victoriously fought several border self-defense battles, accumulating a wealth of experience in carrying out the strategic idea of active defense in modern local wars. since the mid-1980s, based on Deng Xiaoping's strategic judgment that it was possible not to have a large-scale world war for a relatively long period of time, the guiding ideology for the construction of the armed forces was strategically changed from being always ready for a war to being ready for a war. Strategic change, that is, from always ready to fight early, big fight, fight a nuclear war on the verge of war to really shift to and leap period of modernization and construction of the track, stressing that the strategic guidance should be based on the readiness to deal with large-scale invasion of the enemy to focus on dealing with possible local wars and military conflicts, and put forward to adapt to the requirements of the situation at the time of the active defense of military strategy. In the 1990s, on the basis of a deep understanding of the major changes in the international strategic pattern and the profound changes in the military field, the Central Military Commission reformulated the new period of active defense of the military strategic policy, to determine the military struggle to prepare for the base to win the modern technology, especially under the conditions of high-tech local wars, so as to achieve a new transformation of the military strategy.

In the new historical period, China's security situation, national interests, social system and internal and external policies, the military struggle and the objective needs of military construction, decided that China must continue to unswervingly implement the military strategy of active defense. This is not only an inheritance of a fine tradition, but is also in line with China's national and military conditions at this stage. Even if it develops in the future, active defense will remain the fundamental military strategy for solving China's national security problems. Adherence to the military strategy of active defense has a long-term and significant guiding significance for the preparation of military struggle in the new period. The implementation of this military strategy requires that the following three aspects of the relationship:

First, the relationship between defense and offense. Active defense is not pure defense, but offensive defense, a combination of offense and defense. The implementation of active defense, must be flexible. Strategic guidance, both to adhere to the strategic defense and rear-guard action, but also attach importance to the battle in the battle to take positive offensive action and the first mechanism of the enemy; both the preparation for protracted combat, but also strive to battle in the battle on the rapid response, quick decision, especially should be will be a local war under the conditions of high-technology, when the conditions for strategic quick decision, we must strive for strategic quick decision. Unlike the revolutionary war era when the enemy was lured into deeper and deeper, when the enemy was first annihilated on the inner line and then on the outer line, the local wars fought by New China are more often fought for the victory of the wars in the border areas relying on the depth of the local territory. In contrast to the long period of preparation for large-scale invasion against the enemy in the past, which was based on a duel in strategic depth, the strategic guidance of modern local wars focuses on shallow deep operations near the sea and the border and emphasizes deterring the enemy with aggressive offensive actions. Active defense requires a strategic rearguard action, which is not a sign of weakness.? rearguard? is ? People do not offend me, I do not offend? which is conducive to maintaining the initiative politically and diplomatically. The control of others? is? If someone offends me, I will offend him. China will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but it will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but it will not take the initiative to cause trouble. China will not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but it will not show weakness in the face of trouble either. Once the sovereignty and security of the country has been violated, China will not hesitate to insist on a just war of self-defense to eliminate all incoming enemies.

Second, the relationship between containing the war and winning the war. Containment of war is to utilize deterrent power in peacetime to try to stop or postpone the outbreak of war militarily and politically. The new period of active defense military strategy, not only to solve the problem of how to prepare to fight and how to fight, but also to solve the problem of how to effectively contain the war, to avoid fighting and stop fighting; not only to avoid the outbreak of a total war, but also try to prevent the occurrence of local wars, to ensure that socialist modernization and construction is carried out smoothly. According to the needs of national strategy, various means of military deterrence can be utilized when necessary, in conjunction with political and diplomatic struggles, to achieve the purpose of containing the war without fighting. Adhering to the fine tradition of people's war, combining increasingly modernized conventional forces, strong reserve forces and reliable and effective limited nuclear forces is the basic way to carry out the military strategy of active defence and to give play to the role of deterrence. At the same time, it must be recognized that the deterrence of war is based on the ability to win wars. Deterrence can be effectively implemented only if we have the power to win. The foothold of China's active defense military strategy has always been to prepare for and win wars. That is, from the worst possibilities to strive for good results, to dare to fight, able to fight to achieve the war without war, this is the cornerstone of China's deterrence ideas.

Third, the relationship between military and politics. Military strategy must be closely coordinated with the whole country's politics, diplomacy and economy. The implementation of the military strategy of active defense, the most fundamental or from the political considerations and deal with military issues. Modern local wars are highly constrained by political and diplomatic factors and are highly political and policy-oriented. China's future defense operations are closely related to the country's reform and opening up and modernization. Military strategic guidance a moment to have a political mind, policy concepts and big-picture awareness, good at grasping some of the big strategic relationships. Military fight or not fight, fight what target, fight to what extent, when to fight, when to stop, should be politically and strategically comprehensive consideration. Military struggle to strictly abide by the position of self-defense, fully prepared, prudent initial battle, justified, favorable, measured action, firmly grasp the initiative in the struggle.? Reasonable? is to adhere to the strategic defense and pre-emptive measures, so as to make the division famous and take the initiative in politics and diplomacy;? Favorable? is to grasp favorable timing and conditions, resolutely fight to win, and achieve a favorable military position;? In order to achieve a favorable military position. is to master the military struggle fire, appropriate stop, in the appropriate victory after the end of military action. The military struggle should actively cooperate with political, diplomatic and economic struggles to maintain world peace and regional stability, and strive to improve the national security environment.

Second, based on winning local wars under the conditions of modern technology, especially high technology

After the end of the Cold War, the world's trend of multi-polarization has continued to develop, and new world wars can be avoided, but different types of local wars and armed conflicts still exist, and hegemony and power politics are the main source of threats to world peace and stability. A profound transformation in the military field, spearheaded by the development of high-technology weapons, is emerging worldwide, and will have a significant and far-reaching impact on all aspects of war patterns, battlefield environments, means of warfare and methods of command. China's security environment has been greatly improved, but the maintenance of national sovereignty and security is also facing new challenges, and future local wars will likely face enemies with high-tech weaponry.

Under this new situation, the Central Military Commission formulated a new period of military strategic guidelines clearly put forward, the new period of military struggle to prepare for the base, to cope with the general conditions of war to win the modern technology, especially high-tech conditions of local war up. All construction and all work of the army should be guided and unified by the military strategic policy of the new period, should obey and serve the needs of this strategic policy, and should be fully prepared in all aspects to ensure the successful realization of this policy. In-depth implementation of the new period of active defense of the military strategic policy, under the strategic guidance, to focus on solving the following problems:

First, from the focus on preparing for a comprehensive war to focus on preparing for local wars. For quite a long time after the founding of New China, the center of gravity of military strategy was to always be ready to resist large-scale invasion by the enemy and to be based on one-sided war. Under the new historical conditions, if the concept of total war is still used in the past to think and work, and if the military strategy based on total war is used to focus on local wars, it will lead to unnecessary waste and loss. This is because, regardless of the war preparation and war implementation, China's comprehensive war strategy guidance and local war strategy guidance are obviously different: comprehensive war based on the territory of the depth of the enemy, local war focuses on the shallow depth of the border, the air and the sea to win; comprehensive war to strive to drag the war to the long-lasting, local wars emphasize that as far as possible, rapid combat and quick decision; comprehensive war is usually through the early stages of the war's strategic defense War can only be transferred to strategic counter-offensive and offensive, local wars may start in the form of self-defense counterattacks, to take a limited scale of strategic offensive operations; comprehensive war requires comprehensive mobilization, the country to meet the enemy, local wars should try to avoid the expansion and escalation of the war to reduce the impact on the overall situation of the country. Only by changing the traditional thinking mode of total war, it is possible to establish the strategic guiding principles of the future war in line with the objective reality.

Secondly, we should actively explore the characteristics and laws of local wars under high-tech conditions. The style of local wars faced by China has never been single, but the greatest threat and the most difficult to cope with in the future will be high-tech or local wars with high-tech characteristics. From the world's recent local wars, due to the use of high-tech weapons on the battlefield, making the suddenness of the war increased, the war's direct space to narrow the space and related space to expand the rhythm and process of the war accelerated significantly, the battlefield high transparency and long-distance precision strikes to change the traditional methods of combat, the status of the strategic air strikes greatly increased, the war, the war, the battle, the battle can sometimes be fused together, the front, the rear of the blurred boundaries, the combat security more complex, the combat security is more complex, and the war can be fought with a high degree of security. The boundaries of war, battle and combat can sometimes be blurred, the front and rear are blurred, combat security is more complex, and the limited purpose and scale of war may produce great harm and impact. To win the future high-tech local war, we must focus on its characteristics and development, seriously study new situations, solve new problems and explore new methods of warfare. In this process, we must study our opponents and ourselves; we must study how to bring into play the ability of the military services to conduct joint operations, and we must also study how to bring into play the combined power of the military and local forces; we must study the development trend of weapons and equipment and the issue of scientific combinations, and we must also study the issue of the scientific organization of people and weapons and equipment. In the final analysis, it is to adapt to the characteristics of modern warfare, to create a new method of local warfare under high-tech conditions with Chinese characteristics.

Third, strengthen the preparation for military struggle with the main goal of winning local wars under high-tech conditions. The causes and types of localized wars are many and varied, and the manner and direction of their occurrence are also uncertain. It may be caused by disputes over land and sea boundaries, and may also be induced by other conflicts of interest; it may be fought with powerful enemy countries, and may also be fought with rivals with comparable strength or overall strength less than their own; it may occur in the direction of pre-preparation, but also in the direction of unexpected sudden outbreaks; it may be fought in the territory of a certain depth, and may be fought in the vicinity of the border; it may be fought either on land or in relatively independent naval or air wars; it may be fought on the ground, and may be fought on the ground. It may be a land war or a relatively independent naval or air war. Strategic guidance must take into account the impact of various complex factors and make multi-handed preparations, so that once a situation arises, it can respond quickly and flexibly. China's security environment is relatively complex, and it should make multi-directional and focused preparations, highlighting military countermeasures research and military struggle preparations in directions that may have a significant impact on national security, while taking into account other directions and handling the relationship between priorities and non-focuses. According to the characteristics of the future war more and more high technology content, make great efforts to develop military high-tech, focus on the development of the most urgent need for weapons and equipment, as soon as possible to have a few hands in the high-tech conditions of the enemy means; accelerate the pace of personnel training, and strive to create a large number of on the mastery of the modern war talents; systematically carry out the adjustment and reform of the institutional establishment, and gradually formed to adapt to the needs of the modern war of the institutional establishment.

Winning local wars under modern technology, especially high technology, should be based on the use of existing weapons and equipment to fight, inherit and carry forward the people's army with inferior equipment to defeat the enemy's excellent tradition of superior equipment. The modernization of weapons and equipment, depending on the state of national economic construction and the development of science and technology, is with the continuous improvement of the comprehensive national strength and the gradual realization of a time and process. Even if the economy for a longer period of time, weapons and equipment has improved, and may face a strong enemy will still be at a disadvantage. The overall level of the Chinese army's weaponry is still relatively low, and there are still relatively few high-technology weapons; this basic situation will not be completely changed for a long period of time. In this period, if the war, or to inferior equipment to defeat the superior equipment of the enemy. Operational guidance can only be based on the existing weapons and equipment, or can only be built on the basis of a little better than the existing weapons and equipment. Deng Xiaoping pointed out: ? Our historical experience is to defeat the superior enemy with inferior equipment because we are fighting a just war, a people's war. This is a point in which we should have full confidence.? Looking back at the historical course of the Chinese Revolutionary War, our army has defeated the enemy with superior equipment with inferior equipment. Whether it is ten years of land revolutionary war, eight years of anti-Japanese war, three years of liberation war, and even the early days of the new China's anti-U.S. war against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, are at a disadvantage in the case of equipment to win the war.

War is a comprehensive competition between material and spiritual forces. In the conditions of high technology widely used in the military field, the power of weapons and equipment unprecedentedly increased, the impact on the war greatly enhanced. However, high-tech weaponry has not and cannot change the basic laws of war. The victory or defeat of modern war is ultimately determined by the nature of the war, the hearts and minds of the people, and people are still the decisive factor in the victory or defeat of war. The people mentioned here are those who recognize the people's own interests and fight for them with firm beliefs, and those who master advanced scientific and technological knowledge and have high military quality. Local wars under high-tech conditions, despite the fact that the form of war and the style of combat are different from those of the past, still have to mobilize and rely on the people to carry out the war, still have to rely on the people to master and use the weapons and equipments, and still need people's versatility, wisdom and the spirit of sacrifice. The more the weapons and equipment return to the exhibition, the more complex the technology, the higher the requirements for the quality of people, and the role of people has become more prominent and important. Especially in the case of weapons and equipment at a disadvantage, it is more necessary to give play to the subjective initiative of people, play the advantages of the people's war, firmly establish the confidence of the dare to win, pay attention to the use of the aggravation of the plan, the implementation of flexible strategic guidance, adhere to the you play your, I play my, Yang my long, hit the enemy's short, in order to make up for the lack of weaponry, and ultimately defeat all the enemies.

Third, under the conditions of high technology, we still have to adhere to the people's war

The people's war is the product of the practice of the great revolutionary war led by the Chinese ****-producing party of the Chinese people, is the fundamental principle of the masses of the people to create history, and the embodiment of the party's mass line in the war. Adhere to the military strategy of active defense, fundamentally speaking, is to adhere to the strategic thinking of the people's war. Deng Xiaoping pointed out: ? Our strategy was formulated by Chairman Mao Zedong. Chairman Mao's strategic thought is people's war? ;? We are still adhering to the people's war. The basic content of Mao Zedong's strategic thought of people's war is to mobilize, organize, arm and rely on the masses to wage war under the leadership of the Party, to build a people's army, to construct consolidated revolutionary bases, to carry out the three-pronged system of armed forces combining field armies, local armies and militias, to combine the armed struggle as the main form of struggle with various forms of struggle on various fronts, and to employ flexible and flexible strategic and tactical methods. strategic tactics. It is under the guidance of the strategic thought of people's war that the people's army has defeated one enemy after another, and is constantly moving from victory to new victory.

Adherence to the people's war is in line with China's actual situation, and is where China's real advantage and strength lie. The military strategy of active defense in the new period is based on the people's war. The purpose of adhering to the people's war is to maintain world peace and safeguard national interests, because it can win the support of the majority of people at home and abroad; China's vast territory and population, with a strong armed forces consisting of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the Armed Police Force (APF), and the vast number of militia members, has the potential for a profound people's war and the social basis for a long-lasting war. The Chinese people, who are rich in the tradition and experience of people's war, are fully capable of relying on people's war to win a great victory in the future war against aggression.

The rapid development of contemporary high-tech and the profound changes in the world's military field have made people's war face many new situations and new problems. Now the people's war compared with the past, the object is different, equipment is different, means are different, conditions are different, so the form of expression is not the same. The future local war under high-tech conditions poses a serious challenge to the conduct of people's war. To summarize, there are mainly the following aspects:

First, from the war form, the war is mainly manifested as a local war under high-tech conditions, the previous form of the country to meet the enemy, all the people to participate in the war is facing challenges. In the high-tech local war adhere to the strategic thinking of the people's war, because the face of the war has undergone a profound and great changes, and therefore the strategic guidance, war mobilization, combat forms, combat methods and other major changes will also occur. Correctly handling the relationship between comprehensive mobilization and local mobilization, manpower support and technical support, and direct participation and indirect participation in the war has become an important element in guiding the people's war under high-technology conditions. Mobilization for war has shifted from national mobilization to more local mobilization and mobilization of some sectors of the country. The form of people's participation in and support for the war will undergo obvious changes: from direct participation to more indirect participation in the war, from highlighting manpower and material support to highlighting technical support, and the participants in the war will mainly be reserve forces with high technical and military qualities. The people participating directly in the war will adopt a brand-new method of warfare different from that of the past. In the new historical conditions how to implement the people's war, we must start from the reality of high-tech local war, creative thinking.

Second, from the perspective of combat forces, technology-intensive elite confrontation in high-tech local wars occupy a prominent position, relying solely on the manpower quantitative advantages of the combat approach is facing challenges. In the past, the technological content of the people's war is not high, the technical quality of the participants in the war requires less, you can mobilize the people's masses on a large scale, after a simple training to participate in the army to participate in the war, the formation of the enemy's absolute strength advantage to make up for the inferiority of the people's army weapons and equipment. But in modern conditions, the two armies to win more for the technical competition. The essence of modern war is to concentrate superior force, is to concentrate superior firepower, relying on scientific and technological synthesis to form the superior combat effectiveness. In this case, only rely on the number of manpower advantage, it is difficult to win in the confrontation with the enemy technology-intensive quality advantage, the era of weapons and equipment is also very difficult to make up for the number of troops. How to put the great power of the people into play in the technologically intensive elite confrontation is an urgent problem to be solved.

Third, from the perspective of combat space, high-tech local wars are relatively narrow in the scope of the direct battlefield, the use of the vast territory of the dispersal of the enemy's combat mode is facing challenges. In the future, China will face localized wars under high-tech conditions, which will be mainly carried out in the local areas of land borders, offshore areas and relevant airspace. On the one hand, the battlefield where the two armies are directly engaged is relatively narrow, the strikes against targets are highly precise, and the forces used are highly concentrated, which makes it difficult to organize the people on a large scale to make use of the vast space of the country to disperse, exhaust and consume the enemy. On the other hand, war has expanded into a multi-dimensional space of land, sea, air, sky and electricity, and it is difficult to distinguish between the front line and the rear, and the relevant space of war has expanded unprecedentedly. How to give full play to the overall power of the people's war in the limited range of directly engaged battlefields and the vast war-related space is a brand new subject.

Fourth, from the perspective of the combat time, high-tech local wars are highlighted as a compact rhythm of rapid combat and speedy decision to strategically protracted combat twisting the battlefield to face challenges. The limited political purpose of high-tech local wars requires shortening the war process and the duration of combat, and accelerating the rhythm of war; the long-distance precision striking power of weapons and equipment, rapid delivery power, extraordinary destructive power, etc., provides an effective means of rapidly achieving the purpose of the war. The tactical use of modern high-technology weapons often yields strategic results, and a war may be condensed into a campaign or even a battle. As a result, the difficulty of protracted warfare has increased. In the past, people's wars were fought through protracted operations, constantly consuming the enemy's vital forces, developing and expanding themselves, and gradually changing the balance of power. This approach is difficult to play a role in high-tech local wars. How to quickly mobilize and organize all kinds of forces to participate in the war, the formation and play the advantages of the people's war, to thwart the enemy's attempts at a quick decision, is an important issue in front of all the people and the military.

The profound changes in the shape of modern warfare and the wide application of high technology in the military field have not only posed a serious challenge to the people's war, but also injected unprecedented vitality into the people's war.

First of all, the development of modern high technology has provided a new growth point for the accumulation of strong potential of people's war. After a long struggle, China's high technology has made great strides in development, and has a growing impact on the comprehensive national strength, social and economic structure and people's lives. The country has been practicing Science and Education for National Development and the army is practicing "Science and Technology for a Stronger Army". Science and Technology for a Stronger Military It shows that the whole country and the army have shifted the focus of development to relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of personnel. A high-tech industrial army armed with advanced technology and advanced equipment is the new force of people's war under high-tech conditions. All this has laid a solid foundation for winning the people's war under high-tech conditions and created the prerequisites for making a qualitative leap in the army's combat power.

Secondly, modern and developed information technology provides new and effective means for mobilizing and organizing the people's masses for war. The most notable feature of the people's war is the extensive participation of the people. The combination of advanced ideology and public opinion with advanced information technology will produce a magical effect. With the establishment of a global information dissemination network, including satellite communications, the rapid development of radio, television and telecommunications has provided a very convenient and effective way and channel for mobilizing the people to participate in and support the war. As long as the usual national defense education is carried out thoroughly and effectively, and all the war preparations are really implemented, once something happens, it is possible to make use of modern and developed information technology to quickly publicize the masses, mobilize and organize the masses in a very short time, and strive for the sympathy and support of the international community.

Once again, the civil-military compatibility of modern high technology provides new ways and means for the people to participate in and support the war. Modern high technology is increasingly toward the direction of civil-military compatibility, civil-military **** enjoyment. The people are the masters of high technology, and the people can create high technology, utilize high technology, and subdue high technology. The people's participation in and support of the war channels greatly expanded: modern civilian transportation tools, can provide a strong guarantee for military transport; advanced equipment, factories and enterprises, through the transformation of the production of military materials; a large number of scientific research institutions, colleges and universities and scientific and technological personnel can be mobilized directly or indirectly for the war service. The technology to participate in the war, science and technology to support the front in the high-tech war is very promising, and will even become the main content and way.

Finally, the high dependence of the modern high-tech combat system on the overall rear, for the extensive development of the people's war, provides a new way of thinking and countermeasures. High-tech local war is the overall confrontation between the system and the system, advanced weapons and equipment more dependent on the combat system as a whole, long-distance strategic delivery of troops more dependent on the rear. Any one of the main battle weapon, can not leave the equipment system and its matching and independent role. Generally speaking, the larger and more complex the weapon system, the more fragile and prone to problems. Organic combination of all aspects of the force, mobilizing the people to use a variety of means, including information technology, focusing on attacking the enemy's weak links, it is entirely possible to win a people's war under high-tech conditions.

Under modern high-tech conditions, we must creatively develop people's war. Adapting to the requirements of the era of high-tech development, building a competent standing army, building a strong reserve force, establishing a perfect mechanism for rapid mobilization of national defense, and implementing the combination of a competent standing army and a strong reserve force, this is the way to build a modern national defense and the development of people's war. At the same time, it is necessary to study new strategies and tactics of people's war. This research cares neither for ? foreign? and neither does it care about? The key is to make it work. The key lies in the use. We should make efforts on systematic support and practical application. We should be good at war preparation and war practice from the people's masses, to find and summarize the enemy to win the war. In the revolutionary war era, the people created tunnel warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare, raiding warfare and other methods of warfare, so that the enemy fear. These traditional methods of warfare of the people's war continue to be effective today as long as they are combined with modernized means. In the future people's war under high-tech conditions, many new methods of warfare suitable for the people's participation in the war can also be created, such as economic and cultural information warfare in the information war, as well as the destruction of the enemy's computer network? Hacker? war; flexible and diversified sea guerrilla warfare; the use of high-tech weapons to penetrate the enemy's rear special warfare, raiding war, and so on. In short, to use the innovative people's war strategy and tactics, ? You hit you, I hit me? , seek to concentrate advantages, hit the enemy's center of gravity, the combination of high-tech and low and medium-tech equipment, the combination of modern new fighting methods and traditional fighting methods, the combination of military, police and civilians, military means and non-military means, the formation of integrated forces, the overall power, so as to fight the enemy more effectively in the future war.
