What are the stories of "even this kind of mistake can be made" in history?

There are always striking similarities in history, in 194 1? Southern Anhui Incident? The area where our New Fourth Army was surrounded by the enemy was exactly where the Red Tenth Army lost in 1934: Maolin, Anhui. It is surrounded by mountains and narrow roads. Once it is surrounded by enemy blockade, it is very unlikely that large troops will break through. Yan 'an, which is far away in northern Shaanxi, has long realized the great danger that may exist here.

(Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army)

1934 In the Battle of Huaiyushan, the Red Tenth Army, an anti-Japanese advance team in the north, was besieged by the superior enemy forces in southern Anhui, and lost its combat effectiveness due to insufficient ammunition and cold weather. Except Su Yu who led hundreds of people to break through successfully, most of them were sacrificed or captured. The lesson of blood proves that Maolin area in southern Anhui is extremely unfavorable to the mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare that our army is good at, which is determined by its special terrain.

194110/On October 4th, more than 9,000 people from the headquarters of the New Fourth Army and its directly affiliated units set out from Yunling, the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and headed north. However, it is only 20 kilometers from Yunling to Maolin, but the troops marched 14 hours, which shows that the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. Coupled with the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a heavy rain. The officers and men were not only tired, but also soaked, so they had to rest in Maolin for a day, which was also a fatal day.

(Deputy Commander Xiang Ying)

Yan 'an once sent a telegram to Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, and Xiang Ying, deputy commander (political commissar): Don't stay in Maolin for long. As long as the situation in Xuancheng and Ningguo is clear, they should move eastward. It is advantageous to cross the encirclement before arranging the stubborn army. It can be seen that the terrain in Maolin area contains great risks. The urgent telegram from Yan 'an is a euphemism to remind the New Fourth Army that it must not repeat the mistakes of the Red Ten Army seven years ago, and must pass through and highlight Maolin area as soon as possible.

Mentioned in the news? Stubborn army? . Of course, it is Gu's troops in the third war zone who are best at resisting Japan. In fact, Gu and Shangguan Yunxiang have long noticed that Maolin area is suitable for surrounding and attacking the New Fourth Army, so they mobilized more than 80,000 heavy troops in advance and deployed them through Maolin as the center. However, due to the difficult road, it is also difficult for the enemy to March. When the New Fourth Army arrived in Maolin, Gu's encirclement was not fully formed.

(Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou Zikun)

194165438+1At dawn on October 6th, the third regiment of the avant-garde troops of the New Fourth Army exchanged fire with the 40th division of the stubborn army in Piling Mountain, southeast of Maolin. Did the enemy rise? Southern Anhui Incident? The first shot, more than 9000 people (fewer combat troops, more military organs and directly affiliated teams) faced nearly ten times the enemy, and the situation was extremely critical. Commander Ye Ting advocated making a quick breakthrough and rushing out before the enemy's encirclement was formed. The breakthrough point he chose was Xingtan.

General Ye Ting is very correct in this respect. But Xiang Ying forgot the lesson of the Red Tenth Army, paid insufficient attention to Yan 'an, and began to hesitate at the critical moment. Ye Ting had to request an emergency meeting of the army to discuss whether to conquer the battle plan of Xingtan. Results The meeting lasted for 7 hours from 3 pm to 10. It is a serious mistake to delay the military aircraft when it is fleeting.

(Commander of the Third Theater Gu Zhu Tong)

Not counting, after seven hours of meeting, Ye Ting's battle plan was finally rejected! Finally, according to Xiang Ying, 9,000 people did not resolutely break through, but went around to the southwest of Maolin to follow the enemy? Hide and seek? . You know, this is not a guerrilla with hundreds of people. The terrain of Maolin also limits the mobility of the troops, and there is little room for manoeuvre. This is equivalent to forcibly transferring guerrilla tactics to large-scale corps operations, which is a completely unrealistic second mistake.
