Chapter 227： Marshal Ogarkov

Frunze Military Academy, the cradle of high-ranking Soviet officers. "Le" Wen "Fiction www.lw

This is a well-known military academy. Together with the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, West Point Military Academy in the United States and Saint Cyr Military Academy in France, it is also known as the "Four Major Military Academy" in the world. In the early days of the school, it trained talented commanders П .e. Debenko, e.n. Kovtiuch, b.Д. Kovsov, n.c. Kudyakov, n.Ф. Fediko, b.n. Chapaev et al.

Now, most of the senior commanders of the Soviet army are alumni here, and at the same time, there are also many senior generals who are willing to come back here to teach as an honor.

Surrounded by pines and cypresses, a large auditorium in the center of the college has a history of several decades, with mottled walls, and in the auditorium, the students sitting upright are listening to the explanation of a teacher in front.

The instructor, with his hair combed back and somewhat curled, has a broad face and a high nose with a distinctly Slavic character.

The auditorium was full of people, and there were even people standing in the back, not only the students of the academy, but many teachers were listening to the lectures.

There is no other reason. On the shoulders of the person who is speaking in front of him is the epaulet of the marshal!

In the Soviet Union, the number of marshals was very small, and even fewer were able to give lectures at the Frunze Military Academy. Therefore, most of the students and teachers in the academy, and even the leaders of the academy, as long as they did not have classes, they would Came here for a lecture.

The Soviet marshal who was giving a speech was Nikolai Vasilievich Ogarkov, who had just been promoted to marshal this year.

The old Bolshevik, who was born in 1917, joined the Soviet Army in 38 years, participated in World War II and the Great Patriotic War, and has been serving in the army. In 1941, he served as a senior engineer in the Engineering Department of the Karelian Front, and later served as the chief engineer of the 61st Marine Corps Brigade. In December 1942, he served as the deputy chief of staff of the 32nd Army Corps of Engineers, and in 1943, he served as the director of the Operational Division of the Front Army Corps of Engineers. In May 1944, he served as the chief engineer of the 122nd Infantry Division. In November, he was transferred to the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts in the south with the troops, in the battles of the Arctic region, Lake Balaton and Budapest. Demonstrated deep knowledge of military engineering.

It can be seen that the main experience of the Soviet marshal was in logistics. After the war, he first served in the Engineer Corps of the Carpathian Military Region, and then was transferred to the Far East Army. In 1959, he studied at the Voroshilov General Staff Military Academy. After completion, he served as the commander of the 20th Motorized Infantry Division of the Guards Group in Germany. In 1961, he served as the Chief of Staff of the Belarusian Military District. In December 1965, he was appointed commander of the Volga Military District, and in 1968 he was appointed as the first deputy chief of staff of the Soviet Armed Forces.

At that time, his greatest contribution was the establishment of the General Administration of Strategic Deception of the Soviet Union. He also managed and directed hundreds of military newspapers and periodicals such as "Red Star", "Soviet Union", "Stand-Bearer", "Weapons and Equipment". His task is to fool NATO, some to hide, and others to publicize with great fanfare.

In later generations, that is, Zhang Juzuo can be comparable to him.

Because of various outstanding contributions, in 1974 he became the Deputy Minister of Defense and Chairman of the Technical Committee, and in 1977 he served as the First Deputy Minister of Defense and Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army. Promoted to Marshal of the Soviet Union.

This is a man full of legendary experience, although he has now become a marshal, he has also reached the peak of his personal qualifications. Going back further, it began to go downhill, and because of different opinions, he was repeatedly excluded.

"In the 1960s and 1970s, the U.S. military e-2 early warning aircraft and other electronic warfare aircraft were put into use one after another. The use of these aircraft effectively provided airborne early warning, and electronic jammers also caused great trouble to the enemy. In March 1972, the US military used 15 laser-guided bombs to blow up the Tsinghua Bridge in Vietnam, which had previously dispatched more than 700 planes and dropped about 12,000 tons of bombs." At this time. Marshal Ogarkov above is giving a speech to the future commanders of the Red Empire: "What does this mean? New science and technology will bring about changes in our army!" "Just last year, the United States* Theoretician Tom Rona proposed the concept of 'information warfare' for the first time. Everyone. Does anyone know what information warfare is?" Ogarkov looked at the hundreds of students in the auditorium and the front row. Of those leaders, now, the theory he put forward is the most novel.

The entire hall was silent.

As an academy for training future Soviet military commanders, various new theories are allowed here. However, most of the students and teachers still believe in the Soviet Union's in-depth theory, which is the treasure book of the Soviet army.

Soviet military strategists formed this theory on the basis of the experience of the First World War and the Civil War, emphasizing assault and pursuit, while taking into account counter-assault. This theory also guided the Soviet Union's victory in World War II. The Soviet Union has vast land and large mechanized corps. This theory is very consistent with the reality of the Soviet Union.

Now, what about information warfare? What is information warfare? Those present, I am afraid that no one knows.

Ogarkov looked at those who listened to the lecture with disappointment. He wanted to promote modern military theory and lead the latest military thought trend, but there would still be many difficulties.

The Soviet Union needs reform Not only domestic politics and economy, but also military reform! Only by seeing the advanced technology of the West and catching up, can we not be left behind by the West! The Soviet army, seemingly huge, is actually lagging behind!

Just then, he saw a young officer below and raised his hand.

"Okay, this comrade who raised his hand, tell me." Ogarkov was overjoyed.

"Information warfare is a struggle to seize and maintain the right to control information, and it also refers to the fact that the two sides on the battlefield fight for the right to acquire, control and use information, by using, destroying the enemy's information system and protecting their own information systems. A series of combat activities." The young officer said: "In combat, information is a crucial factor, for example, when we are in a tank battle, we know exactly where each of our tanks is. , Knowing the location of the enemy tanks, we can command the battle more conveniently, can send target instructions to each tank, strike the enemy more accurately, and gain absolute initiative on the battlefield. This is the advantage of having information ." (To be continued.)

ps: ps: I beg you all to stop worrying about how the air defense officers understand information warfare. The current chapter is to prepare for the future push of Western Europe, and it is also to prepare for the upcoming political struggle. I beg you all support!
