    Did the eight-year war of resistance greatly weaken the strength of the Kuomintang?

    The Prodigal Son of the Jungle/Text

    [Reposted from Jagged Community bbs./Recently, when discussing the issue of the Anti-Japanese War, a friend said to me: "During the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang troops were fighting in the front, the Communist Party was developing in the rear, and all the best soldiers and generals of the Kuomintang were wiped out, so later on  We can¡¯t defeat the Communist Party.¡±

    Although this view has a certain market, it is untenable.  As long as you use your brain to think about it, you will find the problem.

    My answer at that time was: "At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the CCP's army numbered only 80,000 to 90,000 people. At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there were only 910,000 people. Most of them were rabble-rousers who joined the army after the Anti-Japanese War began. But eight years after the Anti-Japanese War, why are these rabble-rousers  Have they become elite soldiers and strong generals? After the baptism of World War II, both the Soviet Army and the U.S. Army have transformed from a rabble into elite soldiers and generals. Why is it that only the Kuomintang army has transformed from an elite army into a ragtag army? The Communist Party's battlefields behind enemy lines and the rear area have  What's the difference?"

    I think that people who hold this view first confuse the two completely different concepts of "battlefield behind enemy lines" and "rear area".

    You must know that the rear area is a frontal battlefield, and only the national army has a rear area.  This rear area is entirely under our control.  It can provide cover in adverse situations, rest and train the army, train officers, provide logistical support, provide supplies, and provide soldiers

    The battlefield behind enemy lines belongs to the occupied areas occupied by the Japanese invaders. The Chinese Communist Army develops behind the enemy's rear. It is an environment surrounded by enemies on all sides. The vast majority of the Chinese Communist Army has no place to rest, no logistical support, and no supply of troops.  Under such circumstances, we repeatedly competed with the Japanese invaders for living space in the occupied areas of the Japanese invaders. Only by wiping out the Japanese occupying forces can we establish a base and gain a foothold. We also have to deal with the Japanese invaders' counterattacks at any time. Once the battle fails,  Then there is nowhere to escape and no way to retreat.  From a strategic point of view, opening a battlefield behind enemy lines means attacking the Japanese invaders and compressing the Japanese occupied areas, which is far more dangerous than the frontal battlefield.

    War is an opportunity. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were consumed in fighting the Japanese aggressors, and at the same time they were also developing in the fight against the Japanese aggressors.  At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the strength of the Chinese Communist Army combined with the Eighth Route Army, New Fourth Army, Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and guerrillas from all over the country was only about 90,000 people. They contributed more than 70 soldiers in the war. It is said that the best soldiers and generals have already fought eight or nine times.  .  At the beginning of the War of Resistance, the Kuomintang army had a regular main force of 1.7 million and suffered 3.4 million casualties. The replacement rate of elite soldiers and generals was much smaller than that of the CCP army.  At the end of the war, the Kuomintang had an army of 6 million, and its development was much greater than that of the CCP army.

    Speaking of attrition, what many people see is that the more than 100,000 Nationalist Government troops with German equipment in the early days of the war were consumed.  However, at the end of the war, the Kuomintang had 39 reorganized divisions with American equipment.  As small as more than 20,000 people, as large as the 74th Division, more than 33,000 people.

    During the war, the famous Kuomintang generals Zhang Zizhong, Zhao Dengyu, Rao Guohua, Wang Jiaben, Tang Huaiyuan, Wu Shimin, Tong Linge, Feng Anbang, Zhong Yi and more than 180 deputy brigade generals and above died on the battlefield of Weiguo. It is true that the losses were heavy.  However, due to the improvement of the military education system, a new generation such as Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Chen Mingren, Qiu Qingquan, etc. grew up during the war. They received all-round military education and accumulated rich knowledge in the battle against the Japanese invaders.  With his combat experience, he is the young man in the army.  Their use of tactics in corps operations can be said to be superior to others and have reached the most advanced level. Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Chen Mingren, etc. have all defeated senior CCP commanders like ** with inferior forces.

    Similarly, after eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Zongren, Wei Lihuang, Xue Yue, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi and other older generation National Government strategists have become more proficient in commanding large corps and large group operations.

    The American equipment division is the essence, and it has received 1.28 million Japanese equipment, extensive training, equipped with tanks, armored units and air force, and has been trained in the Anti-Japanese War and has the three-dimensional combat capability of the time. The 4.3 million regular Kuomintang armed forces are also a force for  It is also rare in the world to encounter large armies of opponents, all of which were developed during the War of Resistance.

    In other words, after experiencing the baptism of World War II, the Kuomintang army can be said to be an elite soldier and a strong general.

    Of course, this does not include the puppet troops who were retaken under the command of the Kuomintang government forces. They specifically helped the Japanese devils fight the Chinese Communist army during the War of Resistance, and accumulated a lot of experience in suppressing the Communist Party. They saved the country through curves.

    Let¡¯s look at the Chinese Communist Party:

    On the day of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the 40,000-strong Northeast Japanese Allied Forces that had been fighting against the Japanese invaders for fourteen years had less than a thousand soldiers left, and only a handful of cadres above the division level survived.  Zhao Shangzhi, Yang Jingyu, Wang Detai, Chen Hanzhang and other hundreds of CCP's Northeast warriors fell in the white mountains and black waters.

      The CCP army in the pass also lost many elite soldiers and generals who experienced the baptism of the Agrarian Revolutionary War during the Anti-Japanese War. In the Battle of Pingxingguan alone, thousands of the elites of the Red Army who experienced the Long March fell in the bloody battle with the Japanese invaders.  On the way to Shandong, more than 300 veteran Red Army soldiers died in a battle with the Japanese invaders. General Luo Rongheng cried.  Isn¡¯t it the elite soldiers and generals of the Chinese Communist Army who have been lost?  A large number of senior CCP generals, including Zuo Quan, Zhu Cheng, Chang Deshan, Yi Liangpin, Gui Qiansheng, Luo Zhongyi, Tian Shouyao, Liao Haitao, and Hong Linge, were killed on the anti-Japanese front line. There were also hundreds of them. The sacrifices of these senior generals gave less  The Chinese Communist Army¡¯s source of training and education has caused a massive talent shortage.

    Judging from the experience of the war years, when the Anti-Japanese War ended, even the most capable military strategists such as Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and Liu Bocheng in the CCP army were unable to command large corps with more than 500,000 troops at the same time.

    At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, although the Chinese Communist Party's army had also made great progress, there were only more than one million regular armed forces and only 660,000 fully equipped troops (mainly captured Japanese equipment).  According to the proportion of military personnel, the CCP army lost far more elite soldiers and generals than the Nationalist government army, but its developed strength was far behind that of the Nationalist government army.

    Marshal Chiang Kai-shek figured this out much better than we did. It was the Kuomintang army that truly preserved its strength during the War of Resistance.  Not only has their strength not weakened, but it has developed significantly.  Therefore, at the beginning of the civil war, the Nationalist Government declared that it would eliminate the Communist Party within 3 to 5 months.  How confident.  On the contrary, after the civil war broke out, the Chinese Communist Army declared that it would take at least five years to defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries.  How disparate is the self-confidence?

    No matter from which aspect, the view that "the strength of the Kuomintang's military was greatly weakened after the War of Resistance Against Japan compared with before the War of Resistance Against Japan" is difficult to establish.  People who believe this statement usually only see a small part of the matter and ignore the rest.  I think that a considerable number of people do not deliberately ignore the other side, and for some others it is hard to say
