As an important military figure in China's modern history, Chiang Kai-shek's own military level has always been questioned, because he held a good card, but in the end he was defeated, but it is undeniable that he did make great contributions during the War of Resistance, so his real military level has become a mystery, Li Zongren, as one of the people who know Chiang Kai-shek best, can be said to know him very well, and twenty years later, Li Zongren once evaluated Chiang Kai-shek's military level, which is unbelievable.
For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek personally commanded the Great War of the Central Plains and won victories, and this battle also became a representative work of Chiang Kai-shek's military level, but during the Liberation War, the three major battles commanded by Chiang Kai-shek's airborne command were completely defeated, and if it were not for his command, perhaps they would not have lost so thoroughly.
Chiang Kai-shek often blamed others for his failure, but he never reflected on his mistakes, in fact, Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorial rule has strained the people's hearts, coupled with his lack of understanding of the actual situation, airborne command, resulting in a comprehensive rout in the three major battles, Li Zongren is very familiar with Chiang Kai-shek's military level, he believes that Chiang Kai-shek's early victories were only because he had the support of money and weapons and equipment.
In Li Zongren's view, Chiang Kai-shek's military level is basically equal to zero, because he feels that Chiang Kai-shek is neither a qualified general nor a qualified soldier, otherwise he would not be able to break a good hand, and the reason why Chiang Kai-shek can hold great power has nothing to do with his military level is only because he has the support of capital, and he is good at political checks and balances, so there is no need to evaluate his military level.
