As we all know, after winning the final victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Li Zongren wrote "A Review of the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Enemy and Ourselves in the Eight-Year War of Resistance." After General Li Zongren analyzed the many situations in the War of Resistance, he explained the reasons for Japan's defeat, mainly because its ambition to annex our country was wrong. At that time, Japan had a huge misunderstanding of our country, thinking that our country had been in a state of corruption and incompetence since the end of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, China had unlimited potential, as long as it was greatly stimulated, then Japan's attempt to annex our country was simply wishful thinking.
After this, Chiang Kai-shek failed to win the victory despite having great superiority, which made countless people have great doubts about Chiang Kai-shek's military level. They felt that Chiang Kai-shek did not have an outstanding military level at all, and some people felt that Chiang Kai-shek's military level was very powerful, after all, he had won a great victory in the previous Central Plains War, if he did not have the corresponding military level, how could he achieve victory?
As for whether Chiang Kai-shek himself has an extremely outstanding military level, Li Zongren, as his old rival, has a lot of say. Li Zongren once commented on Chiang Kai-shek: The old Chiang Kai-shek has been fighting in the battlefields of China for decades, and the weapons he possesses are just a trick of money to buy and divide, and if militaryly speaking, he is not a soldier, nor is he a general.
From Li Zongren's evaluation of him, we can know that in Li Zongren's eyes, Chiang Kai-shek did not have the so-called military ability at all, and the reason why he was able to win a great victory in the Central Plains War was not because of his outstanding military ability, but only because he had a great advantage in weapons and equipment. What do you think about this?
