Mao Zedong's Principles of Guerrilla Warfare

Mao Zedong's Principles of Guerrilla Warfare emphasize using small, mobile, and flexible forces to fight a larger, better-equipped enemy. Guerrillas focus on hit-and-run tactics, blending with the local population, and leveraging local knowledge and support. Key ideas include avoiding direct confrontations with superior forces, attacking weaknesses, and maintaining high morale. Mao believed that guerrilla warfare could weaken an enemy over time through sustained, decentralized efforts, ultimately paving the way for larger political and military victories. These principles are based on adapting to the terrain, understanding local conditions, and ensuring the resilience and morale of the fighters.
