Every time he mentions our modern history of China, Chiang Kai-shek, the president of the Kuomintang, is undoubtedly a figure that cannot be escaped, because indeed Chiang Kai-shek is the real boss of the Republic of China, and of course, after driving out the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek could not wait to launch a civil war, but what he never expected was that the result ended in the fiasco of the Kuomintang, after all, the Chiang Kai-shek government not only had good weapons and equipment, but also treated better, and even with the vigorous help of the Americans, it was still swept away by our People's Liberation Army.
So here is a doubt that many people have, what is Chiang Kai-shek's military command level? I believe that this question has appeared in the hearts of many people, to be honest, Bai Chongxi once evaluated Chiang Kai-shek's command level, simply put, it is 4 words, incisive and sharp!
In fact, we still have to correctly evaluate Chiang Kai-shek, just from the fact that he can win so many warlord melee battles, this at least shows that Chiang Kai-shek really has a very strong ability, the strategic vision is beyond doubt, and judging from his series of deployments, Chiang Kai-shek is undoubtedly a person with great planning ability.
But Chiang Kai-shek is a man who has a fatal problem, what is it?
In fact, he very much likes to cross the level to conduct command, in addition, Chiang Kai-shek has a very special method of selecting talents, that is, he likes to reuse fellow villagers, such as Dai Kasa, Mao Renfeng, Hu Zongnan, etc., who are also From Zhejiang, Dai Kasa and Mao Renfeng are undoubtedly extremely capable talents, but what about Hu Zongnan?
To tell the truth, Hu Zongnan was fortunately a native of Zhejiang, and in addition to being a high-caliber student in Huangpu, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to become a general according to his talent, but Chiang Kai-shek liked Hu Zongnan, because Hu Zongnan was extremely loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, and it can be said that Chiang Kai-shek pointed out where to fight, and there would be no complaints.
This is Chiang Kai-shek's special means of selecting talents, and what did Hu Zongnan do that made people speechless? When Hu Zongnan led a large army to capture Yan'an, in fact, Yan'an at that time was an empty shell, but Hu Zongnan, in order to ask for credit, actually let many Nationalist troops wear the clothes of our People's Liberation Army, and then let people take pictures, falsely claiming that this was a PLA soldier captured by Hu Zongnan.
We know that Xue Yue can be said to be the general who annihilated the enemy the most in the War of Resistance Against Japan, especially the Battle of Changsha and the Great Victory of Wanjialing, but Xue Yue in the War of Liberation almost disappeared, because Xue Yue often went against Chiang Kai-shek's will, so naturally this made Chiang Kai-shek have a deep prejudice against him.
In addition, at the time of the Jinan massacre, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the army not to take any action, and as a result, Gu Zhutong was indeed very obedient, which is why Gu Zhutong was favored by Chiang Kai-shek.
In addition, Du Yuming in the Battle of Huaihai, we know that the result was that Du Yuming was captured by our army, but in fact, Du Yuming had every chance to escape, but Chiang Kai-shek gave him a death order to let him save Huang Wei at all costs, and as a result, Huang Wei did not rescue him, but instead took himself up, which was the evil result of Chiang Kai-shek's overstepping command.
Therefore, this is the reason why Bai Chongxi gave Chiang Kai-shek a sharp evaluation of "infantry platoon leader"; in Bai Chongxi's view, Chiang Kai-shek just liked to command chaotically, and if it were not for his obstinate will, the Kuomintang would not have been able to defeat so quickly.
