20世纪30年代法国军事辩论的惨痛教训

1940年法国战败，军事理论落后是其重要原因之一，而祸根在30年代的军事辩论时就已经种下。30年代法国军事辩论的主要内容是如何认识坦克集群战争。艾蒂安纳、杜芒克、戴高乐等人根据当时欧洲新的军事思潮，主张坦克战；反对派昧于历史新趋势，简单化地、过分乐观地认为，法国已经建立可靠的防线，法军已拥有足够的坦克，坦克只需掩护步兵，而组织坦克部队进攻将是一种冒险，敌人即使突破或绕过防线仍旧无法取胜。1940年法国的溃败，对这场军事辩论做了实际的总结。法国关于坦克集群战争的辩论和它屈服于坦克集群的事实，为我们提供了若干颇有价值的启示：军事理论的辩论一般具有长远意义；必须认识传统的力量及其限度；军事上的正确判断是打败对手的基本条件之一；必须看到军事理论、战争皆和社会生产、国家经济密切相关；落后的军事理论与压制先进军事思想的政策，势必对国家民族造成不可弥补的损失。

A Tragic Lesson Drawn from the Military Debate in the 1930s in France

France was defeated in 1940,one important reason was the backward theoretical military theory,and its cause was the debate in the 1930s over the role of tank in modern war.Jean-Baptiste Estienne,Doumenc and Charles de Gaulle proposed tank war while others over-optimistically believed that France had already enough tanks for the coming war,and their defense line was highly reliable.The result of the war and the defeat of France provide us with valuable lessons.It proves that advanced military theory is very essential for the victory in modern war.
