On the Active Learning and Application of Military Strategy from the Perspective of"Though an Obstinate Fight May Be Made by a Small Force,in the End It Must Be Captured by the Larger Force"
Sun Tzu's statement of"though an obstinate fight may be made by a small force,in the end it must be captured by the larger force"reveals the general law of war,which is to achieve great vic-tories with the big against the small,the more against the less,the strong against the weak,and the supe-rior against the inferior.However,in reality,the weak side may not be unable to hold on and fight fierce-ly,nor may they be captured by the strong side.These all require specific problems should be analyzed specifically.Frequently,the weak side can also defeat the strong one.The reason is that the weak side has truly achieved"obstinate fight",such as by utilizing favorable terrain,relying on the people,the unity of the army,flexible use of strategic tactics,attacking key weak links of the enemy,forming a local absolute advantage,and ultimately achieving the effect of using one soldier as ten soldiers and four ounces can move a thousand pounds.Therefore,when learning military science,it is necessary to read and apply it flexibly,not only to study the general laws of military application,but also to study the special laws,the latter of which is particularly important.Whether commanders can win a battle depends on whether they can combine their intelligence with the actual situation and win based on the enemy's situation.If they are detached from the actual situation of both sides and apply military tactics inflexibly,they will un-doubtedly be defeated.
