To begin with , we may say that the anti - japanese war is at once a war of attrition and a war of annihilation (九八)我们首先可以说,抗日战争是消耗战,同时又是歼灭战。
2.
Militarily , in the first month we shall not seek to fight large - scale battles , but to occupy cities and towns , eliminate bandits and diehards , and win some small battles ( for instance , annihilating one or two enemy regiments at a time ) (五)在军事上,我们在最初一个月内,不求打大仗,而是占领城镇,肃清土顽,争取打些小胜仗(一两个团一次的歼灭战) 。
3.
Because the enemy is still exploiting his strength and retains strategic superiority and strategic initiative , and therefore , unless we fight campaigns and battles of annihilation , we cannot effectively and speedily reduce his strength and break his superiority and initiative 敌之强的因素尚在发挥,战略上的优势和主动依然存在,没有战役和战斗的歼灭战,就不能有效地迅速地减杀其强的因素,破坏其优势和主动。
4.
We shall therefore successively discuss the following problems : man ' s dynamic role in war , war and politics , political mobilization for the war of resistance , the object of war , offence within defence , quick decisions within a protracted war , exterior lines within interior lines , initiative , flexibility , planning , mobile warfare , guerrilla warfare , positional warfare , war of annihilation , war of attrition , the possibilities of exploiting the enemy ' s mistakes , the question of decisive engagements in the anti - japanese war , and the army and the people as the foundation of victory 为了这个,我们将依次说明下列的问题:能动性在战争中,战争和政治,抗战的政治动员,战争的目的,防御中的进攻,持久中的速决,内线中的外线,主动性,灵活性,计划性,运动战,游击战,阵地战,歼灭战,消耗战,乘敌之隙的可能性,抗日战争的决战问题,兵民是胜利之本。
