The biggest war, too

The Kuomintang and the Communist Party

The decisive battle for Chinese rule. Between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the early stages of the War of Liberation

is larger. According to the statistics, it can be known that in the early days of the Liberation War

It has an army of more than 4 million people, while the Communist Party has it

Number of troops

It is more than 1.3 million people, and the relationship between the two is basically 3:1.

But in just 3 years, Chinese people's liberation army

Cumulative expansion of the army

The number has reached more than 3 million, such a large scale of military expansion, such an efficient

Expansion speed.

In the history of war at home and abroad, it is all

Very rare

target. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, China really had it

How much population

this? About 339 million people.

At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party

How much is it? The Kuomintang is around 4.7 million and the Communist Party is around 1.3 million. That is to say, bipartisan

Around 6 million, such a big one

It is already about 1.7% of the country's population. At that time, the number of Kuomintang troops was even more occupied

Overwhelming advantage

According to records, the Kuomintang at that time had

Regular main battle units

86 divisions, about 2 million people. There were also about 800,000 garrisons and second-line troops in the cities, and the Kuomintang was there

It also has special forces, navy, air force and so on

Around 550,000 people.

Except for the overwhelming

In addition, the Kuomintang side also has

The ability to fight.

And the Chinese people at that time

Pla

, just after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan

Complete the adaptation

。 According to statistics, the total strength of the People's Liberation Army at that time was around 1.3 million. Among them, the main army of the four major field armies is about 600,000 or so, and the number of local troops and militia armed forces belonging to the four major field armies is about 7

0 million up and down

Of the 1.3 million people in the People's Liberation Army at that time,

Real combat troops

It is also about 600,000-700,000 people, and the rest of the troops are more local militias with little combat experience. Such an army number is natural

Far behind

to the Kuomintang troops.

Again from the People's Liberation Army

Armament

From the top, the Chinese People's Liberation Army at that time was after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan

Restricted

In the international conventions and the reality of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time, weapons and weapons against Japan and counterfeitism

Equipment receiving

Far less on the Part of the Kuomintang. So the weapons and equipment of the People's Liberation Army at that time

Still staying

In the course of the War of Resistance Against Japan, a large number of backward light weapons were mainly captured. There was a serious shortage of artillery, tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment, not to mention

air force

And the Navy too.

But that's it

Military disadvantage

Next, the Chinese People's Liberation Army still completed the expansion of 3 million troops in 3 years, relying on backward weapons and equipment to completely crush the Chiang Kai-shek clique, and finally realized

The liberation of all of China

。 How did our Chinese People's Liberation Army do it?

Such a massive scale

Expand the army

How did our army do it? You have to know that it was Chinese at that time

Population level

The proportional relationship with the number of troops has been

Relatively high

That's up, reaching a level of nearly 2 percent. In this way

Next, plus 8 years

Adult males in large numbers of sacrifices. According to

Normal logic

Judging by this, it is indeed very difficult to achieve the expansion of the army in 3 years and 3 million, so how does our army achieve it?

Expansion Policy: Why the PLA prefers captured Nationalist soldiers to turn over peasants

Actually

Liberation

During this period, our army took 3 steps in expanding its army

tactics

。 The most important of these was not conscription against the vast number of Chinese peasants, but more through the Kuomintang troops

captive

Convert to complete.

And the reason why there is no large number of recruits is because

Over-conscription

It will seriously affect the country's basic production capacity and lead to military food and materials

Produce scarcity

。 In addition, the battle was tense at that time, and it was difficult for the troops to take time to train new recruits, which was also one of the key reasons.

In 1949

Later, as commander-in-chief of the First Field Army

Peng Dehuai

He once sent a copy to the Central Military Commission about the troops of the First Field Army

Construction situation

The telegram made a detailed report on the expansion of the army.

In the telegram Peng Dehuai

Be clear

: Currently in the Northwest Territories

Actual battles

The situation and demographic situation are not suitable for large-scale

Recruit recruitment

, should focus on the Kuomintang army

Captives are transformed

At present, more than 70% of the new recruits in the First Field Army are from the army

Kuomintang troops

Produced in captivity.

In fact, the First Field Army was not only a grassroots soldier, but even more than 50% of the grassroots in the army

Military cadres

They were also supplemented from the captives of the Kuomintang. In Target

Nationalist prisoners

In terms of education work, the First Field Army has also accumulated rich experience.

After the Battle of Huaihai, Erye also sent a message to the Central Military Commission

Did the debriefing,

It is said that more than 80% of the new recruits in the Second Field Army after the Huaihai Campaign were replenished

The recruits were all prisoners of the Nationalist side

, such a supplementary efficiency can not be described as not high.

summary:

It can be said that our army is there

During the Liberation War

The conscription policy is

Very clever

This novel form of army expansion not only ensures the rapid replenishment and rapid formation of new recruits

battle effectiveness

And it also played a role politically

Positive effect

The most crucial thing is that our army's policy of expanding the army is for the Kuomintang army

Strike effect

It's very obvious, why do you say that? Generally speaking captives are taken

After release

There will be about 30%-50%.

Secondary enlistment

。 If these captives are not converted and recruited, then they will return

of troops.

This means that our army is against the Kuomintang army

Strike actually

The effect is reduced by 50%, while through the conscription of captives, make that part

Veterans joined the Communist army and radically accelerated the right

weakening and hurting.
