Military surprise attack, as a timeless classic form of warfare, is a sudden strike action carried out by the comprehensive use of time, information, and technology differences before the enemy completes effective defense deployment. In the information and intelligent warfare, with the continuous improvement of battlefield perception ability, is military surprise attack ineffective? Accurately understand the basic connotation and prominent characteristics of military surprise attacks. Military surprise attacks are essentially tactical actions, but they can and often are elevated to an important combat concept at the level of campaign law. The success or failure of their implementation can even have a strategic impact on the overall situation of the war. This idea revolves around rapid strikes, where victory lies in taking advantage of the enemy's lack of preparation, preemptive strikes, using small tactics to gain big advantage, and using surprise to win. By seeking asymmetric advantages with speed advantage, it achieves the combat effect of "pulling a thousand pounds with four or two". In terms of the timing of combat, military surprise attacks are often launched when the enemy is unprepared or when defense is shifting; In terms of operational information masking, the attacking party usually uses various means such as radio silence, feint deployment, diplomatic disguise, etc. to create false situations and conceal their true operational intentions; In terms of firepower suppression density, concentrating superior firepower to form suppression and paralysis in a specific time and space is an important prerequisite for fully unleashing the effect of surprise attacks. The winning opportunity of military surprise attack is nurtured in the dynamic imbalance of the opponent's defense system. This "point and hole" tactical design, which aims to break through the system, is essentially a strategic application of the uncertainty of war, reflecting the victory philosophy of "preparing for the uncertain battlefield with certainty". Informationized and intelligent battlefield military surprise attacks face severe challenges. Against the backdrop of the accelerated evolution of intelligent warfare and its gradual emergence as the dominant form of warfare, the deep penetration of military intelligence technology is driving the rapid evolution of battlefield situations towards full dimensional transparency, posing a challenge to the application of traditional military surprise tactics. Firstly, intelligent situational awareness makes the battlefield environment more transparent. High resolution satellite imagery and reconnaissance drones can monitor and provide real-time feedback on enemy troop distribution, military facility deployment, weapon and equipment scheduling, terrain and environmental conditions, and other information. Through intelligent analysis, the battlefield environment presents a trend of full dimensional visualization, making it easier for the preparatory departments in the early stage of a surprise attack to be detected by the enemy. Secondly, intelligent media makes the dissemination of combat information more transparent. From the weapon and equipment dispatch images captured by netizens, to the targeted leaks by anonymous whistleblowers and hacker organizations, and to the "digital puzzle" formed by fragmented discussions on social media platforms, social media platforms have become both a "national probe" for recording combat dynamics and a "public opinion hotbed" for discussing the direction of war. Fragmented information is analyzed and integrated through intelligent algorithms, making it easier to predict the plan and details of surprise attacks in advance. Again, intelligent data analysis makes opponents' strategic intentions more transparent. The integration of multi-source heterogeneous data, real-time dynamic processing, and intelligent algorithm modeling can achieve deep deconstruction of opponent's strategic behavior and accurate prediction of their military surprise attack decisions. In the era of intelligent warfare, holographic perception networks achieve multidimensional perspective of battlefield space, instant decision-making systems complete millisecond level closed-loop situation analysis, and instant strike chains achieve a "discover and destroy" combat loop, profoundly reshaping the "time law" and "action law" of modern warfare, and disrupting the traditional organizational planning and application paradigm of military surprise attacks. Technology empowers military surprise attacks to form new operational advantages. Despite the rapid development of military intelligence, which has led to a trend towards transparency in modern battlefields, military surprise attacks have been innovatively applied in many military conflicts in recent years due to their excellent combat effectiveness. The new application not only retains the winning genes of traditional surprise attacks, but also presents a new trend of "technology empowerment and system breakthrough" in the era of intelligence. Firstly, technological breakthroughs create instantaneous asymmetric advantages. Compared to traditional tactical level troop mobility, technological surprise attacks in the era of intelligence emphasize the formation of cognitive blind spots through technological generation gaps. The "nerve center" of the enemy's combat system has gradually become the focus of surprise attacks, using cutting-edge weapons that the opponent has never seen or is difficult to defend to carry out system breaking battles, becoming the main style of military surprise attacks. Secondly, cognitive surprise attack constructs a new tactical deception mode. Under the dimension of intelligent warfare, a new battlefield deception system supported by algorithm confrontation, data pollution, and information "fog" is gradually taking shape. Generative adversarial networks can forge high fidelity radar echo signals, inducing opponents' air defense systems to misjudge the attributes of airborne targets; Public opinion manipulation based on big data weaves a targeted "information cocoon" through social media platforms, gradually dissolving the opponent's will to fight; AI driven injection of false intelligence, generating realistic combat documents through deep forgery technology, directly disrupting the opponent's decision-making center, and creating conditions for successful military raids. Once again, the over limit raid opens up an asymmetric strike dimension. Empowered by intelligent technology, military surprise attacks are breaking through the traditional battlefield's "front and rear boundaries" and linear confrontation mode, forming new types of surprise attack modes such as civilian technology weaponization, social resource militarization, and strike path networking. The raiding party utilizes civilian technology resources such as open source algorithm architecture and commercial chip components, and constructs a "peacetime stealth wartime activation" raiding chain through covert deployment of undercover agents, infiltration and transportation of civilian logistics systems, and remote guidance of multi domain sensor networks. In real combat, suicide drones are suddenly released from trucks disguised as civilian vehicles to strike deep military bases of opponents. In the era of intelligence, military surprise attacks present new features such as the fusion of surprise attack styles across the entire domain, the interweaving of virtual and real attack paths, and the strategic linkage of surprise attack effects, which enable military surprise attacks to have a leverage effect that directly rewrites the balance of power on the battlefield. It has been proven that military surprise attacks have not declined with technological development, but have instead shown a trend of normalized use in intelligent warfare; Its strategic value has not been diluted, but has become a key variable in reconstructing the battlefield game pattern. The future military surprise and counter attack confrontation will not only be a competition of weapon platforms, but also a comprehensive competition of national scientific and technological innovation systems, social psychological resilience, and international rule shaping capabilities. Properly balancing the dialectical relationship between controllable technology and uncontrolled war, offensive breakout and defensive strength, tactical success and strategic backlash, and building a multidimensional and deep perception and defense system will become the key to defending against military surprise attacks and ensuring national strategic stability.
