The Nationalist army wants to fight a war of annihilation against the People's Liberation Army? You can pull it down! It's not that it won't, it's that it can't, it doesn't have that ability at all.
In fact, the annihilation war is very simple, there are more troops than the opponent, find a suitable place, get a large pocket, put the opponent in it, and attack it in groups, and this is the end of the matter.
So let's look back at the comparison between the Nationalist Army and the People's Liberation Army during the Liberation War.
Before the Liberation War began, the Nationalist army was 4.2 million and the People's Liberation Army was 1.2 million (it was also divided into several base areas and clenched into a suitable fist)
Look back at the gear.
Needless to say, the twenty-two armies of the Nationalist Army (the integrated divisions are also counted as inside) are equipped with American or semi-American weapons, and these American weapons account for a quarter of the total.
This also led to the collection of a large number of Japanese weapons, enough equipment for more than a million Japanese, and then equipped with the so-called Japanese mechanic division, which accounted for one-half of the number.
The remaining quarter is that the grandmother is not in pain, the uncle does not love, the miscellaneous cards are smashed into the troops on the edge, and the equipment is also domestic equipment.
This also has to be counted in the small planes flying in the sky, what B24, B25 bombers, fighter jets, and tanks on land.
What about the People's Liberation Army? There are cannons, let's not say how many, on that caliber there is half of that beautiful weapon, he can also become ah! As for what kind of aircraft and tanks, don't mention it, it is very satisfying to have a three-eight big cover. To blow up a bunker, you have to use explosive packs.
You can see that in terms of the number of soldiers and the degree of excellence of their weapons and equipment, the Kuomintang troops fought a war of annihilation, at least theoretically.
Why didn't you see one?
You take the number of these Generals of the Kuomintang, from top to bottom, especially the Central Army, Chiang Kai-shek's concubine troops, and watch them fight, and your face will twitch.
Why is it so incompetent?
Is it really incompetent? To see the small editor, it is not at all, Xue Yue, Sun Liren, Wei Lihuang, etc., are there weak? Big battles and small battles have gone to the sea, and the Japanese have never been instigated.
The problem lies with Chiang Kai-shek, who is not in front of his military talents, and the only word that is placed in the first position is loyalty, and you have to put two more words into it, that is, absolute loyalty.
And this kind of loyalty, the phenomenon that manifests itself, is that whatever Chiang Kai-shek says, as a subordinate, you must unconditionally obey, even if you have another idea, stuff it in your own pocket, cover it yourself, and don't take it out.
Let's not say anything else, when the Huaihai Campaign was fought, Chiang Kai-shek said it very well, do you have any good suggestions, can you mention them?
As a result, Du Yuming mentioned it, and Chiang Kai-shek kicked him to another department as soon as he turned back, and Du Yuming's suggestion of kicking the ball was also in vain.
The final result was that after a Battle of Huaihai, the Kuomintang lost everything.
Looking at the People's Liberation Army on the other hand, the earlier campaign plan was all decided, and General Su Yu pondered it several times, opposed it several times in succession, and photographed the telegram to the Central Military Commission.
It was also because of these telegrams from General Su Yu that the battle plan used General Su Yu's idea as an alternative from the very beginning to the overall plan.
You know that the PLA and the Kuomintang troops are not the same, not a monogamous, patriarchal system, who has the right to listen to whom!
General Su Yu began to shoot telegrams, which were not clear, and then he simply summoned General Su Yu to the Central Committee, and the five secretaries listened to General Su Yu's suggestions.
In the end, we had it, and the 600,000-strong army had nibbled at the target of the 800,000-strong Kuomintang army.
Second point.
There are many factions within the Kuomintang, and they are all mountains and are still self-contained. What Chiang Kai-shek pondered the most was to think of reducing the forces of other mountains in a legal way.
There are too many examples of this.
In the simplest, during the Red Army period, there were five encirclements and suppressions, Chiang Kai-shek's concubines were behind them, and the front road was full of miscellaneous troops of other warlords, canceling the number while fighting, and the local warlords were almost vomiting blood.
Over the years, Chiang Kai-shek has done this more than once or twice.
When the War of Liberation comes, the Huaihai Campaign will all be fought, 800,000 soldiers will be in place, Chiang Kai-shek is still pondering, and he will find a qualified commander-in-chief there.
Bai Chongxi was quite suitable, Bai Chongxi agreed on the front foot, and the back foot regretted it.
I agreed because I commanded an army of eight hundred thousand plus my own half a million troops, and more than a million troops fought together, and the temptation of being a general was not only great.
As for regret, it is because Bai Chongxi feels that this is a set at all, not to mention the half a million horses of Bai Chongxi's Gui lineage, let's say that the Kuomintang's 800,000 troops, he Bai Chongxi has which one can move?
If nothing else, Qiu Qingquan of the Second Corps, Bai Chongxi can mobilize this person? It's a headache to think about. Facts have proved that Qiu Qingquan did not even give the account of his old superior Du Yuming at some point.
You'll see, for example.
During the Battle of Huaihai, Huang Baitao was besieged, and Du Yuming ordered Qiu Qingquan to take his regiment to the rescue. One did not work out and came over perfunctory, and Du Yuming could only watch Huang Baitao's corps finished.
Therefore, when the time came, he Bai Chongxi would have only half a million Gui troops left in his hand, which could be deployed. I have to say thank you when I am eaten.
When the officer is finished, let's talk about the soldiers.
Only by working together from top to bottom can it be profitable and gold-breaking. If you think of the same person, when he was in the Kuomintang troops, one after the other, he could not rush to the front, absolutely did not stay in front, he crouched in the trench, he would rather shoot into the air than show his head.
But what about after becoming the People's Liberation Army? Little tiger, you don't let him rush forward, he still doesn't do it?
We can't help but ask a why?
It's not the same, the army is not the same as the army. The plaster's troops, that is home, the squad leader usually how to blow your beard and stare, when you get to the battlefield, the squad leader is the first to rush out; when there is a bullet coming, the squad leader is the first to stand in front; when you are sick, the squad leader is the first person to serve you, which also brings open the small stove.
What about the Kuomintang troops? Look at your unpleasant eyes, kick you twice, this is considered light, take a stick to smoke this is commonplace; sick, where to lie and wait to die, or wait for people to serve? Dream! If you haven't been beaten, they are all giant panda-level rabies.
This is why the Squad Leader of the Kuomintang was killed, and a bunch of soldiers often ran away, while the SQUAD Leader of the People's Liberation Army was killed, which was precisely the moment when the combat effectiveness of the entire squad suddenly broke out.
In the People's Liberation Army, there was also a crying conference, and the captured Kuomintang soldiers stood on the stage to tell their stories about their past.
Often halfway through, the soldiers below will cry, nothing else, the soldiers on the stage are too similar to their experiences, all bitter, all crying!
Hu Zongnan's Seventh Corps, in an indictment of the old society and the old army, the officers and men of the second battalion of the 472nd Regiment fainted thirty-one people the first time they cried, and thirty-five fainted the second time.
Some of them cried and couldn't eat for three or two days. There was a soldier named He Siqin, who cried so much that his ears could not hear him, he did not eat food, and whoever talked to him ignored him, it could be said that he had collapsed. After many years of emotional accumulation, after so many years, I finally couldn't hold on.
The big guy recalled that he had special respect for Chairman Mao at the weeping meeting.
So, when he should eat, he attached a small note: "Chairman Mao told you to eat!" When it was time to go to bed at night, attach a small note: "Chairman Mao told you to sleep!" ”
Later, when he received permission to join the People's Liberation Army, everything disappeared and He Siqin returned to normal. (Gogol's "The Vicissitudes of the Heart Road--From the Kuomintang 60th Army to the Communist 50th Army")
When the corps was transformed, nearly half of the rebel officers and men who joined the People's Liberation Army signed their fingerprints with blood signatures on the letter of determination, and more than 7 percent submitted blood letters.
He who has no clothes, but who is clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxing, repair my spear.
Ask who in this world can do it, for the Communist Party, for the People's Liberation Army.
This can be explained by the fact that the Kuomintang's Sixtieth Army, known as the Sixty Bears, drove to the Korean battlefield and became the Fiftieth Army of the Volunteer Army, and played a record of fifty fierceness.
You don't have to worry at all, as long as there is a living volunteer army on a position, this means that the position is still firmly in the hands of the volunteer army.
The Americans wanted to take over the entire position unless he killed all the men.
Looking back, let's look at the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang army, the casualties reached 30%, basically no combat effectiveness, half of the casualties of officers, this unit basically had no hope.
And the Plaster? Don't say that the casualties reach 30%, even if it reaches half, it will still stick to the battle, the battalion commander is sacrificed, the platoon leader is sacrificed, the squad leader is sacrificed, the squad leader is sacrificed, the veteran is on.
As long as the order is given, even if they die, they will all die on the position.
It's easy to die on the battlefield, but it's not easy to complete missions on the battlefield.
Death and death are not the same.
Why? At the beginning of the founding of the Communist Party, there was no army, and when the Red Army was in hand, the troops of less than 100,000 people had to face the Kuomintang's five encirclement and suppression, and the Kuomintang went crazy and encircled and suppressed, one hundred thousand was not enough for 200,000, 200,000 was not enough for 300,000, and finally it was added to nearly one million.
The Red Army began the Long March, and after the End of the Long March, the Red Army was left with about 10,000 people, facing layers of siege, climbing snowy mountains, crossing meadows, not to mention wearing, sometimes not even eating, the troops were still like fists, tightly clasped together.
Nationalist troops come to one? Halfway through, it was gone.
The Communist army, two feet can race with four rutted cars, the troops are scattered, three people together can become a combat group, and then fight.
The Kuomintang is a better weapon, that is nothing compared to the People's Liberation Army, and there is no reason to be undefeated.
