What are the classic examples of using reserves to win wars in history?

All successful battles in history can be said to be the result of the successful use of reserves. Every clever commander will organize the reserves in time and in the right direction at the right time, and after the reserves are put into use, new reserves will be organized in time if possible. On the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II, when the German army was sharp and the combat effectiveness of the unit was superior to that of the Soviet army, the successful battles of the Soviet army (whether it was the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, or the Battle of Kursk) were basically followed, first with a firm defense of a force, and gradually consumed the tired German army, until the German division veterans were tired, the Soviet army also gathered a strong reserve, and then launched an attack on the enemy's weak point with the reserve, and finally crushed the enemy.

There are many similar examples during the revolutionary war in China, Marshal is also an outstanding military strategist, he commanded the four front armies in Sichuan to smash the Kuomintang (mainly the Sichuan Army) of the "six-way siege" is more typical, Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army served as the commander-in-chief, Deng Xihou was the first road, Tian Songyao was the second road, Li Jiayu was the third road, Yang Sen was the fourth road, Liu Xiangbu was the fifth road, Wang Lingji, Tang Shizun served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Liu Cunhou was the sixth road, with a total strength of more than 300,000. The Red Fourth Front Army was only 50,000 troops at that time, and did not hesitate to abandon most of the Sichuan-Shaanxi base area, resisted one by one, retreated, and finally fought a decisive battle with the enemy in Wanyuan, northeast Sichuan, regardless of the seriousness of the enemy's situation in the decisive battle, Zhang Guotao urged, forced Xu Shiyou and Wang Hongkun to resolutely resist the first-line position, and finally the Sichuan army first showed a decline, at this time Xu Shuai put the first division into the main battlefield, and broke Liu Xiang's main force in one fell swoop, and finally the six-way enemy army was completely defeated, and the Red Fourth Front Army took advantage of the situation to recover the lost ground.

Battle of Stalingrad.

For both Stalin and Hitler, Stalingrad became a symbol of prestige and more strategic than it actually was, and the Soviet Union ordered the transfer of the strategic reserves of the Red Army from the Moscow region to the lower Volga and the mobilization of aircraft from the entire country to the Stalingrad region. Hold on to Stalingrad and eventually encircle the Germans with a pincer offensive.

Battle of Kursk in World War II.

It can be defined in this way that both sides and even many parties participating in the war on the battlefield will leave strategic reserves, and the reserves are not only emergency rapid reaction forces, but also the old books reserved by the participating countries for the final decisive battle. The strategic reserve is different from the reserve on the local battlefield, it is not a mobile team composed of ordinary soldiers, all countries involved in the war will keep the elite troops in the elite as a strategic reserve, and the reserve will stay away from the battlefield to recuperate and regain strength when other comrades-in-arms shed blood and sacrifice.

Not only to deal with the sudden crisis of war, but also to fight when the war is exhausted on both sides, the soldiers who are ready to go because they did not participate in the war in the early stage, their momentum is naturally better than that of the tired soldiers on both sides of the enemy, and they will play a role in turning the pattern of the war in one fell swoop.

In World War II, the Soviet and German armies fought to the dark, the Soviet army lost strategic points in succession, and the German army had reached the outskirts of Moscow at a critical moment, and the German commander could even see the spire of the Kremlin from the telescope. From this, it can be seen that the situation in the Soviet Union has really reached an existential juncture.

Stalingrad and Leningrad were besieged for a long time, and it seemed that the Soviet Union had no strength to fight back, but in fact, the Soviet General Reserve remained in the Far East, far from the battlefield. The battle on the battlefield was intractable, and Stalin did not use this tiger and wolf division, and it was not until the German army turned from offensive to defensive that the Far Eastern forces entered the final decisive battle.

It was the Far East that entered the war and the Soviet army entered Europe and ended Nazi Germany, and the Soviet army that returned to the division wiped out the 600,000 Japanese Kwantung Army in northeast China with the aftermath of the victor. Therefore, it is correct to say that once the strategic reserve is put into the battlefield, it means the end of the war, and for the victor, it is to crush the enemy country in one go, and for the defeated, it is to make the last fight to the death. Whether it is the former or the latter, the investment in strategic reserves marks that the war has entered the countdown, and the victory or defeat of Lu Mu is completely out of his own.

Be. The Strategic Reserve is not a regular army and only goes to the battlefield when there is a shortage of soldiers on the battlefield, and if they go to the battlefield, it means that the war is almost over.

Whether it is a strategic reserve or a campaign reserve, the use of it means that the battle situation is variable, and if it does not need to be used from the beginning to the end, it means that everything is under control.

As soon as the strategic reserve is put into battle, it also indicates that the war is coming to an end, and no matter whether they win or lose, they will put all their strength into the battlefield.

This means that the attrition of the army is very large, which proves that many people have died in battle, and it can be said that it is very difficult to mobilize them out of the field.

Either as a new force to expand the results of the war, the war will soon be over. Either it is used to fill the losses of the front line and plug the gap broken by the enemy, and the battlefield situation is anxious, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable.

Not necessarily. It may be that the main forces on the front line are particularly attritional and need to be replenished by reserve soldiers, or it may be that they are caught in a tug-of-war and want a long-term war.
