Essay on Main Elements of Mao Zedong's Military Thought

1. The preliminary formation of Mao Zedong's military thought: (1927.8 "August 1" Nanchang Uprising - 1935.1 Zunyi Conference) Mao Zedong successfully solved the three basic problems of what path the Chinese revolution should take, how to build an army and how to fight, and they They marked the initial formation of Mao Zedong's military thought. The establishment of the scientific system of Mao Zedong's military thought (1935.1 Zunyi Conference - 1945.8 Victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression) The Zunyi Conference established Mao Zedong's leading position in the Chinese ****producing Party and the Red Army, and the Four Crossings of the Chishui River established Mao Zedong's prestige. In 1945, at the 7th Party Congress, Comrade Zhu De clearly put forward the concept of "Mao Zedong's Military Thought" and elaborated on it. The enrichment and development of Mao Zedong's military thought (after the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Resistance Against the United States and North Korea, and the period of peace-building since the founding of the People's Republic of China) The famous Ten Military Principles were summarized. The content of Mao Zedong's military thought is extremely rich. In some military writings, the hierarchy, classification and components of Mao Zedong's Military Thought have been referred to in different ways, from different angles and at different levels. As far as the components are concerned, there are mainly three ways of referring to them: first, three components, i.e., the people's war ideology, the people's army ideology, and the strategy and tactics of the people's war; second, four components, i.e., the proletarian view of war and methodology, the people's war ideology, the people's army ideology, and the strategy and tactics of the people's war; and, third, five components, i.e., the proletarian view of war and methodology, the people's war ideology, people's army ideology, and the strategic and tactical aspects of people's war. In my opinion, the division of the components of Mao Zedong's military thought should take into account both its content and characteristics and the needs of its development and realistic practice, and it is more accurate to refer to the five components in comparison. These are the proletarian concept and methodology of war, the idea of a people's army, the idea of a people's war, the strategy and tactics of a people's war, and the idea of national defense construction and national defense struggle. The proletariat's concept and methodology of war The proletariat's concept and methodology of war is the basic viewpoints and basic methods of studying and guiding war put forward and clarified through the creative application of Marxist dialectical materialism and historical materialism to the field of war and military affairs, observing and analysing the basic problems of war, and recognizing and applying the dialectical laws of the military field. For example, on the root causes and nature of war, the relationship between war and politics, war and economy, war and peace, war and revolution, the nature of war and the attitude of the ****-producers towards war, the basic factors of victory and defeat in war, the purpose of war and the way to eliminate war, as well as the epistemology and methodology for studying and guiding the war, and so on. On the question of the concept of war, Mao's main points are: (1) War is a supreme form of struggle arising with the emergence of private property and class for the settlement of contradictions between class and class, nation and nation, state and state, political group and political group, and at a certain stage of development. (2) War is the continuation of the special means of politics; politics is bloodless war; war is bloodshed politics. Struggle in peacetime is politics, and war is politics; war and peace are both mutually exclusive and interlinked, and transform each other under certain conditions. (3) Economy is the material basis for the conduct of war; war is not only a political and military contest, but also an economic one. (4) War causes revolution and revolution stops war. (5) War can be fundamentally eliminated only when human society progresses to the elimination of private ownership, classes and the state. (6) Imperialism and hegemony are the root causes of modern war. (7) The political purpose of war determines the political nature of war; there are just and unjust wars; all wars that are progressive are just, and all wars that impede progress are unjust; ****productives must embrace just wars and oppose unjust wars. (8) The military aim of a war in which two armies kill each other is to preserve themselves and destroy the enemy; it is the essence of war itself and the fundamental basis of all warlike actions. (9) The victory or defeat of a war is mainly determined by the military, political, economic, and natural conditions of the two combatants, and at the same time by the subjective guidance of the two combatants and the realization of the conscious initiative of man. On the question of the epistemology and methodology of studying and guiding war, the basic points are: (1) The purpose of the study and understanding of war by the ****-producers is to eliminate all wars and to realize permanent peace for man. (2) Although war is a special and complex social phenomenon, like other things in the world, it has its own inherent and objective law of development, i.e., the essential and inevitable connection of the basic factors of the two parties to the war which are in contradiction with each other, as well as their general development trend. (3) The laws of war can be recognized. We should not only study the general laws of war, but also the special laws of war; we should not only study the objective laws of war, but also the guiding laws of war. (4) All the laws of war guidance are developmental, and the study of war guidance should start from the actual situation, focus on its characteristics and development, objectively and comprehensively understand and grasp the situation of the enemy and us in all aspects, and find out the laws of their actions, so as to make the subjective guidance in line with the objective reality. (5) War guides should have a strategic mind and a global view, and be good at taking care of the whole situation and grasping the joints. (6) The objective laws of war should be respected, and on the basis of the established objective material conditions, the conscious initiative of man should be brought into full play in order to win the war. II. The Ideology of the People's Army . The Chinese ****producers, represented by Mao Zedong, have taken the creation of a people's army as the primary issue in carrying out armed revolution, and in the course of leading the revolutionary war in practice have created and accumulated a wealth of experience in building up an army, and have made a systematic and comprehensive and profound exposition of the nature and tasks of the people's army, the basic principles of people's army building, and so on, and have correctly solved the problem of making the revolutionary army, of which the peasants are the main constituent, a revolutionary army of a proletarian nature, a revolutionary army of a proletarian nature. It correctly solved the problem of building a revolutionary army with peasants as its main component into a new type of people's army of a proletarian nature, and formed a complete ideology of the people's army. The main contents of the idea of the people's army are: (1) The army is the main instrument for seizing and consolidating state power; the central task and highest form of the revolution is the armed seizure of power and the solution of the problem by war. To carry out an armed revolution, a new type of people's army must be established; without a people's army, there is nothing for the people; after the victory of the revolution, the people's army is the strong pillar of the people's democratic dictatorship, and carries the historical mission of consolidating power, defending the achievements of the people's revolution and national construction, and safeguarding the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of the country. (2) The people's army is an armed group that carries out the political tasks of the revolution. Serving the people wholeheartedly is the sole purpose of the people's army, which is always a fighting force and also carries out the tasks of a working party and a production team. (3) It must adhere to the principle of the Party commanding the gun, practise the absolute leadership of the ****-producing Party over the army, carry out the Party's program, line and policies, and maintain the proletarian nature and firm and correct political direction of our army. (4) Political work is the lifeline of the People's Army, and strong political work is established by adhering to the three major principles of unity between the people and the army, unity between officers and soldiers, and disintegration of the enemy. (5) A democratic system and strict discipline should be practiced. Under the guidance of centralization, political, economic and military democracy should be practiced, orders should be carried out resolutely, and the three major disciplines and eight points of attention should be enforced. (6) The fine style of courageous fighting, fear of sacrifice and hard work should be carried forward. (7) The construction of the people's army should gradually develop from the lower stage to the higher stage, and while strengthening the revolutionary construction, it should strengthen the modernization and regularization construction, so as to gradually build our army into a powerful modernized and regularized revolutionary army. III. The Ideology of People's War. The Chinese ****-producers, represented by Mao Zedong, in the practice of leading the Chinese revolutionary war for a long time, creatively applied the basic principles of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, concentrated the collective wisdom of the Party and the masses, summed up the rich experience of the people's war, and made systematic expositions on the necessity and possibility of carrying out the people's war and how to carry it out, clarifying the theoretical and political basis of the people's war and the need to carry out the people's war, and the need for the People's Revolutionary War to be carried out. It clarified the theoretical and political foundations of people's war, the guiding lines, guidelines and principles for the implementation of people's war, and formed the ideology of people's war with Chinese characteristics. The ideology of people's war is the core of Mao Zedong's military thought, and it is the treasure of our army in overcoming the enemy. Its basic theoretical viewpoints are: (1) The people are the creators of history, the main body of the revolutionary war, and the decisive force in winning or losing the war. The deepest root of the greatness of war exists in the people; "the people and the army are the basis of victory"; only by mobilizing and relying on the masses can war be waged. (2) Revolutionary war is a just war against class oppression or national oppression and for the liberation of the nation and the masses of the people, which is in line with the direction of historical development, plays a role in promoting and advancing the progress of the society, and can be supported by the masses of the people and actively participate in it, which is the political basis and prerequisite for the implementation of people's war. (3) On the question of the relationship between men and weapons, weapons are an important factor in war, but not a decisive one; the decisive factor is the man, not the object. Marxists oppose both the theory of weapons only and the theory of will only, and advocate the dialectical unification theory of man and weapon. Mao Zedong not only elucidated the theoretical and political basis of the people's war, but also, from the actual situation of the Chinese revolutionary war, summarized the original experience of the Chinese people's revolutionary war, elucidated the question of how to conduct the people's war, and put forward a clear guiding line, guidelines and principles. These are mainly: (1) To carry out extensive and deep political mobilization and to organize the broadest possible united front for revolutionary war. (2) To open up the path of armed revolution by encircling cities in the countryside, to create rural revolutionary bases, to organically combine the armed struggle, the agrarian revolution and the establishment of rural revolutionary bases, to mobilize and rely on the masses of the people, with the peasants as the main body, and to turn backward villages into militarily, politically and culturally advanced revolutionary positions as a basis for the implementation of the people's war. (3) The system of armed forces combining field armies, local armies and militias was implemented. The field army mainly carries out supra-local combat missions with the cooperation of the local army and the militia; the local army, in addition to cooperating with the field army in combat, mainly carries out regional combat missions with the cooperation of the militia. They are the two components of our army and the backbone of the people's war. The militia, which is numerous and widely distributed, is the army's powerful assistant and strong reserve army, and is an important force in the conduct of the people's war. In order to form a people's war in which all the people participate, it is also necessary to combine armed and unarmed masses, that is to say, to organize the mobilized masses into trade unions, farmers' associations, youth, women's and children's associations and other mass groups, to engage in all kinds of production and construction work in peacetime, to help the government mobilize the masses to participate in the army, to support the troops and their families, and to check out the traitors; and to carry out work during wartime such as clearing out the fields, scouting for the enemy, taking up the responsibility of transportation, and helping the army to fight directly. In times of war, they carry out work such as defending the countryside, scouting for enemy information, carrying out transportation and directly helping the army in combat. (4) The armed struggle is the mainstay, with all fronts and all forms of struggle complementing each other to form a comprehensive people's war and to maximize the power of the people's war. (5) The implementation of the Party's unitary leadership and the exertion of the overall strength of the Party, the government, the army and the people. Revolutionary war has the possibility of practicing people's war, but whether it can become a complete people's war depends on whether the class or group leading the war believes in and relies on the people, and whether there is a guiding line, policy and guidelines for conducting people's war. IV. Strategy and tactics of people's war . The characteristics and laws of war are the basis for the formulation of strategy and tactics, and strategy and tactics, as the guiding laws of war, are a dynamic reflection of the laws of war. The Chinese ****producers, represented by Mao Zedong, used the basic principles of dialectical materialism and historical materialism to analyze the characteristics and laws of the Chinese Revolutionary War, to summarize the rich experience of our army's operations, and to draw on the experience of wars in ancient and modern times and at home and abroad, and, on the basis of the People's War and the People's Army, to formulate a whole set of strategic and tactical tactics of the People's War, which have become an important part of the military thought of Mao Zedong. The main contents of the people's war strategy and tactics are: (1) the implementation of active defense and opposition to passive defense. Positive defense is also called offensive defense and decisive defense. Negative defense is also called exclusive defense and pure defense. Negative defense is actually a false defense, only positive defense is the real defense, is to counterattack and offensive defense. (2) Combine offense and defense organically, and strategically carry out a protracted defensive war on the inner front, while at the same time carry out a quick-decisive offensive war on the outer front. Through offensive and defensive operations in battles, the enemy's strength is constantly weakened and consumed, the situation of the enemy's strength and weakness is gradually transformed, so that I can change from a strategic disadvantage to a strategic advantage, and in due course, the strategic defense is transformed into a strategic attack, so as to completely annihilate the enemy and seize the final victory of the war. (3) The three forms of warfare, namely, movement warfare, position warfare and guerrilla warfare, are closely integrated, and military strategy is transformed in due course with the change of the main form of warfare as the main content. (4) Make good preparations for war and do not fight unprepared or unsure battles. (5) Concentrate superior forces and annihilate the enemy in every way. It is the basic combat method of our army and the fine tradition of our army's combat. (6) The war of annihilation is the main focus, supplemented by the war of attrition. The war of annihilation is the basic policy of our army. The so-called war of annihilation is to disarm the enemy in every battle, deprive the enemy of resistance, kill, wound and capture all or a large part of the enemy's personnel, and destroy or capture all or a large part of the enemy's weapons and equipment. (7) Be prudent in the initial battle, practice favorable duels, and avoid unfavorable duels. (8) In the command of the strategic offensive, adopt a leapfrog style of attack, plunge straight into the enemy's strategic depths, establish bases, and launch a strategic offensive; carry out decisive battles one by one, and annihilate the enemy's heavy groups on the spot; resolutely carry out strategic pursuits, and use long-distance encircling and detouring to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the enemy; and carry out the combination of a military strike and political striving and disintegration to accelerate the process of war victory. (9) To carry out the initiative, flexibility and planning of operational guidance, and to give full play to the conscious initiative of man in guiding and carrying out the war. And so on. In short, our army's strategy and tactics is to recognize the conditions of the enemy's strength and our weakness, the enemy's size and our size, and to start from the actual situation of the war, you fight your own, I fight mine, to promote your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, to avoid harm and avoid the strong and strike the weak, and to make full use of the enemy's weaknesses and my strengths, and to fully rely on the strengths of the masses of the people, in order to seek the survival, development, and the victory of the strategy and tactics. In general, to grasp the strategy and tactics of people's war, we should focus on the following points: First, the war aim of preserving oneself and eliminating the enemy is the basis of all the principles of strategy and tactics of our army; second, the basic principle is to recognize the active defense and oppose the passive defense; third, the implementation of flexible strategy and tactics is based on the actual situation; fourth, to overcome the strong with the weak is the significant feature of the strategy and tactics of our army; and fifth, the strategy and tactics of our army are based on the principle of the people's war, which is to avoid the strong and strike the weak. strategy and tactics are based on people's war. Therefore, in essence, the strategy and tactics of our army is the strategy and tactics of the people's war. V. The Ideology of National Defense Construction and National Defense Struggle. Mao Zedong's idea of national defense, which germinated during the Anti-Japanese War, was gradually formed in the practice of national defense construction and national defense struggle after the founding of New China. After the seizure of national power, the central task of the military struggle changed from the seizure of power to the consolidation of power and the safeguarding of national sovereignty, territorial integrity and security. The Chinese ****-producers, represented by Mao Zedong, led the People's Liberation Army to carry out regularization and modernization on the basis of revolutionization in accordance with the new historical conditions, which brought our army into the advanced stage of army building, and at the same time gave many correct and important instructions on all aspects of national defense construction and put forward the guiding lines, guidelines and principles of national defense construction. In order to consolidate national defense and safeguard national interests, it also summed up the practical experience of the national defense struggle, and made a series of important statements and instructions on the fundamental purpose, guiding lines and guidelines, and policies of the national defense struggle, thus forming the ideology of national defense construction and national defense struggle with Chinese characteristics. The main contents of the idea of national defense construction are: (1) On the question of the status and role of national defense construction, it is emphasized that national defense construction is necessary for the maintenance of world peace, is an important guarantee of national security, and is an important part of national construction. In order to defend the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, realize national unity and safeguard the security and development of the country, it is necessary to attach great importance to and strengthen national defense construction. (2) On the issue of the tasks and basic contents of national defense construction, it is emphasized that national defense construction is a systematic project. Building a strong, modernized and regularized revolutionary army is the mainstay of national defense construction. At the same time, it is necessary to develop national defense science and technology and the national defense industry, and to establish an independent and complete modern national defense industrial system; it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the regular army while building a strong national defense reserve force, and to establish and improve the system of national defense mobilization; it is necessary to carry out the construction of strategic rear areas, battlefield construction, and the stockpiling of strategic materials; it is necessary to carry out education for national defense for all people, and to enhance the concepts of national defense and awareness of war preparedness of the people of the whole country; it is necessary to develop military theoretical science, study modern national defense, study modern military science and technology and the operational command of modern armies and new military systems, master modern military thinking, and effectively solve the theoretical and practical problems of building a people's army and conducting a people's war under modern conditions. (3) With regard to the guiding ideology and guidelines and principles of national defense construction, it is necessary to make serious preparations for war in accordance with the strategic policy of active defense, to contain the outbreak of war and to ensure that the war is won; the construction of national defense and the army should be centered on modernization, and scientific research on national defense should be in the forefront, and the introduction of advanced foreign military technology should be actively pursued, in an effort to realize the modernization of national defense science and technology as well as of weaponry; the relationship between the construction of national defense and that of the economy should be correctly handled. The relationship between national defense construction and economic construction should be correctly handled; national defense construction should be subordinate to economic construction, develop in coordination with economic construction, and strengthen national defense forces on the basis of economic development; we should adhere to the policy of independence and autonomy, with self-reliance as the mainstay, supplemented by striving for foreign aid, and decide on national defense policies according to our own national conditions, so as to build a modern national defense with Chinese characteristics; we should carry out the guiding front of national defense of the people, carry out broad and in-depth education on national defense among the masses, and strengthen the national defense concept of the whole nation. The national defense policy should be based on the concept of national defense of the whole nation; national defense construction should follow the path of combining the military and the people, combining peace and war, and integrating the military with the people; while strengthening the construction of the regular army, the construction of the militia should be strengthened, and the basis of people's war should be reinforced, and so on. The main contents of the ideology of national defense struggle are: (1) Emphasizing that defending national security is the basic task of the national defense struggle, and that we should always take safeguarding national interests, effectively resisting invasion and subversion by foreign enemies, defending the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of the country, and creating a peaceful and tranquil internal and external environment for the construction of socialism as the purpose and fundamental aim of the national defense struggle. (2) To implement the strategic policy of active defense. Our country is a socialist country, will not invade others at any time, will never claim hegemony, and will not be a superpower; militarily, we implement the policy of strategic defense instead of launching a strategic attack, but this defense is not a passive defense, but a strategic policy of active defense. (3) In terms of war guidance, it is necessary to adhere to the national defense of all people and to implement a people's war. The future anti-aggression war is a defensive war of self-defense, a just war of progress, capable of mobilizing and relying on the people and practicing people's war, and people's war is still the fundamental magic weapon for us to overcome the enemy and win the war. The cause of national defense is not only a military act, but also a social act, is the cause of the army, but also the cause of the party, the cause of the country, the cause of the people, the construction and defense of national defense is the party, the government, the army and the people's **** the same duties and obligations. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a sense of national defense among all the people, to implement a defense system that combines the field army, the local army and the militia in a trinity and combines peace and war, and to mobilize all the people of all ethnic groups in the country to strengthen their unity, raise their vigilance, and actively support and participate in the struggle to defend national defense in various forms. (4) An international united front against aggression and for the maintenance of world peace should be established. Stopping wars of aggression and safeguarding world peace reflect the aspirations of the peoples of the world and are in line with the wishes of the vast number of peace-loving countries, and can therefore be supported and embraced by peace-loving countries and the broad masses of the people all over the world. The formation of a broad united front to unite the peoples of all countries*** against the forces of aggression is the central link in the struggle for world peace. The achievement of world peace depends mainly on the struggle of the peoples of all countries. Relying on the unity and struggle of the people, who are the decisive factor, we will be able to defeat imperialism and its lackeys and achieve lasting peace in the world. We must actively adopt a flexible strategy and endeavor to unite the vast majority of the countries and peoples of the world, and ****together we will maintain peace and stability in the world. (5) Imperialism and hegemony are the main root causes of modern war, and there are two possibilities, avoidable and unavoidable, for a new world war; we have to make preparations for a war against aggression on the basis of the worst estimate. The Scientific System of Mao Tse-tung's Military Thought Mao Tse-tung's military thought is a very rich scientific system, the basic contents of which mainly include: the concept of war and the methodology of military problems, the idea of the people's army, the idea of people's war, the idea of strategy and tactics of people's war, and the idea of national defense construction. Mao Zedong's military thought is a product of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism and the concrete practice of China's revolutionary war, a summary of the practical experience of China's People's Revolutionary War and the struggle for national defense construction and defense, and a crystallization of the collective wisdom of China's ****anufacturing Party. Its scientific system is an organic whole with different functions and roles, but interconnected and constrained by the basic principles and principles of China's revolutionary war and national defense. The Chinese ****producers, represented by Mao Zedong, have creatively applied the basic principles of dialectical materialism and historical materialism to observe and analyze the basic problems of war, and have developed the Marxist concept and methodology of war. It is believed that war is a supreme form of struggle that has been going on since there has been private property and classes, and is used to resolve contradictions between classes and classes, nations and nations, states and states, and political groups and political groups; that war is a continuation of politics; that there are just and unjust wars; that there is a contest of forces in wars; and that war is a phenomenon of material movement that is regulated. The Chinese ****producers, represented by Mao Zedong, combined the Marxist-Leninist doctrine of army building with Chinese reality and creatively put forward a whole set of theories and principles of army building. These include: the people's army is an armed group that carries out political tasks in order to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people; serving the people wholeheartedly is its sole purpose; the people's army must be placed under the absolute leadership of the C***nese Communist Party; and the people's army, while strengthening its revolutionary construction, must also strengthen its modernization and regularization. The Chinese ****producers, represented by Mao Zedong, have creatively developed the Marxist-Leninist theory of people's war and founded the idea of people's war with Chinese characteristics. Its basic spirit is: under the leadership of the C***nese Communist Party, all for the benefit of the people, resolutely trusting and relying on the people, fully mobilizing, organizing and arming the people, and carrying out a comprehensive and thorough people's revolutionary war. Represented by Mao Zedong, the CPC summarized and put forward a set of flexible strategic and tactical theories based on the people's army and the people's war in accordance with the basic characteristics of the Chinese Revolutionary War, guided by materialistic dialectics, and after a long period of practice in the revolutionary war. He established the basic principle of "preserving oneself and destroying the enemy", clarified the strategic guiding ideology of active defense, determined the forms of combat such as campaign warfare, positional warfare and guerrilla warfare, and established the principle of concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy at every turn. After the founding of New China, Mao Zedong and other old-generation proletarian revolutionaries created the theory of national defense modernization and construction. Its main contents are: national defense construction should be guided by the strategic policy of active defense in accordance with the needs of national security interests; national defense construction should be centered on modernization; national defense construction must adhere to the policy of independence and autonomy; and a strategic change in the guiding ideology of national defense construction should be carried out in the relatively peaceful period when a world war may be avoided, and so on. The various components of the scientific system of Mao Zedong's military thought have different functions and roles, but are also interconnected and mutually restraining. In this whole, the proletarian concept and methodology of war is the theoretical foundation of the whole scientific system; the idea of people's war is the core of Mao Zedong's military thought; the theory of people's army is the guandan of the construction of people's army; the flexible strategy and tactics are the ways and means of carrying out people's war; and the theory of the modernization of national defense is the guideline and principle of the construction of national defense, the defense of the country's security, and the prevention of invasion by foreign enemies. Historical Status of Mao Zedong's Military Thought Mao Zedong's military thought is a proletarian military theory with Chinese characteristics. It creatively developed the military theory of Marxism-Leninism, and it guided the Chinese revolutionary war to a complete victory. After the founding of New China it continued to guide China's national defense construction, the war of resistance against the United States and North Korea and the counterattack operations in self-defense on the borders, and it is a pointer to the modernization of national defense and the future war of resistance against aggression. It occupies an extremely important position not only in the history of the development of Chinese military thought, but also in the history of world military thought. Mao Zedong's military thought creatively developed the military theory of Marxism-Leninism, which is mainly embodied in the following: firstly, it opened up the revolutionary road of encircling the countryside with the city and seizing power by arms. Secondly, it solved the problem of building the revolutionary army, of which the peasants were the main component, into a people's army of proletarian character. Third, it enriched and developed the Marxist-Leninist idea of people's war. Fourth, it formulated a whole set of strategies and tactics of people's war suitable for the characteristics of China's revolutionary war. Fifth, the proletarian concept and methodology of war were systematically elaborated. Sixth, it established a whole set of theories on the modernization of China's national defense. Mao Tse-tung's Military Thought is China's proletarian military theory. Under the guidance of Mao Zedong's Military Thought, the Chinese people won victories in the Land Revolutionary War, the Pit-Japanese War and the War of Liberation. Mao Zedong's military thought is a glorious record of the victory of the Chinese Revolutionary War. The great victory of the Chinese Revolutionary War fully affirmed the historical status of Mao Zedong's military thought. After the founding of the country, it has guided the Chinese people to great victories in the modernization of national defense, the War of Resistance against the United States and North Korea, and the counterattacks in self-defense along the borders. Mao Zedong's military thought is a correct military theory that has been proved in practice. Its basic theories, especially those principles and principles that reflect the essential laws of things, have a long and universal guiding significance. It will continue to play a guiding role in the modernization of China's national defence and in the future war against aggression. Mao Zedong's military thought has received attention from abroad from the day it was formed. After the victory in the Chinese Revolutionary War, Mao's military thought was even more emphasized by people from all walks of life in the world. Many people have studied and researched it, and it has transcended national boundaries and become an important object of study in the world's military theories. In the 1960s and 1970s, Mao Zedong's military thought was widely disseminated in the third world and became a powerful ideological weapon for the oppressed nations and oppressed peoples of many countries in their struggle for national independence and liberation. Mao Zedong's military thought occupies an important position in the history of world military thought and is a military thought of great influence in the contemporary world. In short, Mao Zedong's military thought is the soul of our army, the foundation of the army, the way to win, is the fundamental guiding ideology of China's national defense and military construction.
