Mobile Warfare

Mobile Warfare is the English phrase for Mao Zedong's main military methods. For the general topic of military mobility, see maneuver warfare. The achievements of Mao and the Communists in the Chinese Civil War are normally referred to as guerrilla warfare, though he himself made a distinction between Mobile Warfare (运动战; yùndòngzhàn), Positional Warfare (阵地战; zhèndìzhàn) and guerrilla warfare (游击战; yóujīzhàn). Mao had a regular army that was far too big to hide, but made a point of conceding territory and avoiding battle until he was ready to fight.
