Preamble:
Recently, a military-themed variety show "Iron Ride, the Power of Walking" has attracted much attention. This show truly restores some important military events during the Anti-Japanese War, and by reproducing historical battles, the audience can more intuitively feel the blood and tears in the background of that era.
Among them, the Battle of Huaihai is undoubtedly a very representative battle, and some details in this battle have also aroused heated discussions among the audience. Especially in this battle, there were some surprising episodes on the part of the national army, and behind these plots, there seemed to be some deep-seated problems.
First, many corps of the national army were defeated
In the Huaihai Campaign, the national army did have a number of corps, and many of them were led by some famous generals, and it stands to reason that they should be able to form a situation of encirclement and pose a certain threat to our army.
However, the final result was unexpected, in the face of our attack, the national army seemed to be a little helpless, the various corps did not seem to be very coordinated with each other, and in the course of the battle, they did show some ignorance and hesitation.
Even at the end of the battle, the will of the national army to resist was almost completely broken, which laid a solid foundation for the victory of our army.
Second, Huang Wei could not be rescued
In the Huaihai Campaign, the national army has always had a task that has not been completed, that is, to rescue the trapped Huang Wei, and Huang Wei's identity is not ordinary, he is an important general of the national army.
Presumably, at that time, both soldiers and generals should know how to prioritize, but surprisingly, after the national army has been delaying, Huang Wei was still unable to get effective rescue in the end.
In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek's explanation was that Huang Wei's suicide made the national army unable to save it, but what was the reason behind it triggered some associations from the outside world.
**1. The reasons behind the collapse of the national army**
On the surface, the reason why the national army was defeated by our army in the Huaihai Battle seems to be because our army does have a certain war advantage, and the commander of our army is also very resolute.
But if you analyze it carefully, in fact, there is another very important reason why the national army was defeated, that is, the national army did have some chaos in the course of the battle, and behind this chaos, it seems that some problems are also reflected.
**1. The generals of each corps have different thoughts**
In the Huaihai Campaign, if the national army wanted to form a situation of encirclement and pose a threat to our army, the most important condition was that the various corps had a certain tacit understanding and could cooperate with each other.
However, in fact, not all generals have the same idea, some may be more inclined to protect their own regiments, while others may have some whimsical tactics.
Therefore, in the whole course of the operation, there was indeed some chaos in the national army, and the various corps were not very coordinated with each other, which also greatly reduced the overall resistance of the national army.
**2. The high-level operation is too "silky"**
In addition to some problems between the corps, there seem to be some operational mistakes in the high-level departments of the national army.
At that time, the top departments of the Nationalist army seemed too "silky", and they did not put the war first, but immersed themselves in some illusory victories.
Therefore, they did formulate some tactics, but they ignored some actual conditions, and this practice will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the morale of the national army, and will also affect the combat effectiveness of the national army to a certain extent.
**Second, the influence of the general's mind**
In addition to some problems in high-level operations, there seem to be some mental disputes between the generals of the national army, and these disputes have also had a certain impact on the entire war situation.
Take the inability to rescue Huang Wei as an example, it stands to reason that the national army should be able to put such a task in a very important position, after all, it is related to the life and death of an important general.
But in fact, there was no such situation, and the national army seemed to be a little ignorant and hesitant in rescuing Huang Wei, and it was unable to effectively save Huang Wei, which eventually led to the sacrifice of an important general.
Chiang Kai-shek's explanation of this matter undoubtedly made the outside world question this, and he believed that the reason why Huang Wei could not be rescued was because Huang Wei's suicide made it impossible for the Nationalist army to save it.
But what is the reason behind it, it may also have something to do with the minds of the generals of the national army.
At that time, there were indeed some incidents of the sacrifice of Chinese leaders, and behind these events, there may be other reasons hidden.
You must know that under the special historical circumstances at that time, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and some local warlords had their own considerations, and they did not completely selflessly consider the country for some important military operations.
Therefore, for the sacrifice of some important generals, the national army should indeed have some "responsibility", and it should also have some enlightening influence.
