Introduction: After Japan announced its total surrender, the Chinese people were in the ocean of cheers, thinking that China was about to be completely liberated. Unexpectedly, a civil war provoked by the Kuomintang reactionaries was ushered in, and in the four years of civil war, the Chinese Red Army was rapidly reduced to pieces, almost all the troops were assembled, and reorganized, in order to fight a final decisive battle with Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang.
Three major battles were crucial in the four years of the civil war, the most important of which was to eliminate chiang kai-shek's remnants of Kuomintang troops in all aspects of north and northeast China. At that time, Huaibei and Northeast China took the lead in fighting, and when the war situation fell into anxiety, as the defender of the northeast, Fu Zuoyi did not lend a helping hand, which eventually led to the defeat of the Kuomintang soldiers.
During the three major battles, Fu Zuoyi held 600,000 soldiers in his hands, why did he choose to stay still
Even within the Kuomintang, fu Zuoyi felt incredible, and Fu Zuoyi had 600,000 troops in his hands at that time. If Fu Zuoyi had acted to support the northeast and Huaihai battlefields at that time, the Chinese Red Army would not have taken the Kuomintang so easily.
However, for Fu Zuoyi, not to lend a helping hand has his own reasons. Fu Zuoyi himself was not a trusted subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek, but a soldier of Yan Xishan, so he did not fully believe in Chiang Kai-shek. In addition, a tradition seems to have formed within the Kuomintang. Even if friendly forces are in trouble, everyone is on their own. Today we will talk about it, why did Fu Zuoyi choose not to send troops at that time?
First of all, Fu Zuoyi would consider that if the outcome of the war did not go as he imagined as soon as he sent troops, then he himself might be completely overwhelmed, including his army, which would be reorganized at that time. This is not the heart of Fu Zuoyi's villain, but Chiang Kai-shek has already set a precedent before. Therefore, even if Fu Zuoyi wants to send troops, the battlefield must be in the North China Military Region.
Second, the interior of the Kuomintang army was not as organized and disciplined as it seemed. This is in stark contrast to the Chinese Red Army, Chinese the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is almost perfectly coordinated in terms of cooperative deployment. The organization within the Kuomintang was chaotic, and even in terms of coordination, it was a mess.
It was not only Chiang Kai-shek's army that was in disarray, but also within Fu Zuoyi's North China Army at that time. At that time, it was said that Fu Zuoyi had an army of 600,000 in his hands, but in fact, only more than 200,000 belonged to him in the real sense, and more than 300,000 of them were used by Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army to restrain him. This is entirely Chiang Kai-shek's distrust of him.
From this, it can be seen that the army within the Kuomintang is very ununified, which also indirectly leads to the reluctance of the warlords to cooperate with each other, resulting in Fu Zuoyi's reluctance to send troops. It was precisely because of this internal division that the Kuomintang eventually went to failure. The 600,000 army is still so divided, let alone a million troops, it is impossible to trust each other, let alone support each other.
Such a thing would never happen within the Chinese Red Army. This is also why during the War of Resistance Against Japan and the Civil War, when China confronted the Kuomintang troops, it destroyed them in its entire regiment. It is very interesting that the Kuomintang has won several wars, and it has never systematically eliminated more than one division of our army corps. It is obvious from this point that the Chinese Red Army has a strong sense of cooperation and unity.
The Kuomintang army was like a mess. There is also an objective reason, that is, the strength of our army on the north China battlefield is nearly 300,000, which also makes Fu Zuoyi unable to make up his mind.
At that time, only Fu Zuoyi's North China Army could assist and support the battlefields of North China and Huaihai. In the end, Fu Zuoyi chose not to be an enemy of the Northeast Field Forces, and at that time, he refused support on the grounds that the North China army wanted to sneak attack Shijiazhuang, hoping to preserve his strength, and eventually delayed the fighter. In fact, Fu Zuoyi's military combat ability is obvious to all, and the top level within the Kuomintang is also well aware of it. However, the biggest drawback is that it is relatively short-sighted.
He didn't seem to think that if the northeast failed, if the Huaihai battlefield failed, would north China still be saved? At that time, the pattern was already very thorough within the Kuomintang, so fu Zuoyi's move of not sending troops was really puzzling to the top level of the Kuomintang.
Conclusion: Moreover, when Fu Zuoyi led the army to occupy north China, the troops were scattered due to the long battle line. Each city must be guarded by separate troops, and in the end there is not enough mobile power. The biggest advantage of the Chinese Red Army is the flexibility of mobile forces, when the Red Army was dominated by field troops and mobile units. I don't care about the land of the city, so I don't have the worry and burden of guarding the city.
This gave the Red Army the opportunity to break through the Kuomintang troops one by one, and the final objective factor was that it was too late in time and geography at that time, and hundreds of thousands of troops were transferred across regions, and the conditions of the Kuomintang at that time were not allowed. So in the end, Fu Zuoyi chose not to move.
