Speaking realistically, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek did invest a large number of elite forces, and truly achieved "the land is not divided into north and south, people are not divided into old and young, and they are all responsible for defending the land!" This is worth affirming.
For example: the Battle of Songhu, ** elite all out, the army has Zhang Zhizhong's Huangpu Army, Chen Cheng's Eighteenth Army, Hu Zongnan's Huangpu First Army, Lao Jiang originally wanted to take advantage of the Japanese army's unstable foothold to fight a war of annihilation, but it turned into a war of attrition, **800,000 army** more than 300,000; Another example: During the Battle of Nanjing, the elite of more than 100,000 ** troops who stayed in Nanjing were reduced to fish on the board and slaughtered.
As a result, many people said that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression wiped out the elite of the world, resulting in a serious decline in combat effectiveness, otherwise, the War of Liberation, our army would not be so easy to win. But the author feels that this is a wrong argument. In history, there has never been a country or army that has fought too many wars and finally wiped out its elite; On the contrary, the stronger the army becomes, and the more vicious battles it fights, the more tempered the troops will be, and the more their combat effectiveness will be sublimated.
Just as General Peng attacked Guanjiayuan, the troops were very damaged, and the generals asked General Peng: "The troops are now exhausted, what will I do in the future?" Mr. Peng replied categorically: "I'll add it after I finish it." Troops that can't fight tough battles will have no future in the future! "Facts have also proved that the Eighth Route Army is indeed getting stronger and stronger in the war, and it is a promising force. The Eighth Route Army encountered countless vicious battles and tough battles, but it did not run out of elites, but developed millions of elites.
The history of the rest of the world is the same, in the face of the ferocious Germany, the Soviet Union has lost tens of millions of people, but it has not seen the elite exhausted, and the Soviet Red Army in 1945 is even stronger.
Therefore, there is no situation in which the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will be used to light up the elite. When the civil war broke out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek openly claimed that it would only take 3 to 6 months to achieve victory. Chen Cheng, chief of staff of the Kuomintang Army, also boasted: Maybe 3 months, at most 5 months, can solve the squadron. The reason why this side dares to be so arrogant is that it feels that it is now all elite, with nearly 5 million regular troops, of which 122 are American mechanics and have a considerable number of aircraft and artillery, so it can be said that Lao Jiang never thought that he would lose.
In the first year or so of the Liberation War, our army was indeed very difficult, but the war was never only fought by the military, the performance of the civilian political group was too collapsed, and the governance system and organizational ability of the national control area were too poor, resulting in the dispersion of the people's hearts and the collapse of the military mobilization capacity.
We can say that the troops of ** were not exhausted in the War of Resistance against Japan, and ** after the tempering of battles, they are still elite.
The 50th Army of the People's Liberation Army was originally the **60th Army, and when this unit was the first, because of its loose military discipline and poor combat performance, it was jokingly called "Sixty Bears", which means the most inferior bear egg soldiers. But as soon as they arrived on the side of our party, they immediately became "elite", and in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, they showed heroism and extremely strong combat effectiveness, which was completely different from the ** period, and the 50th Army also attacked Seoul first. In this stark contrast, I have to say that whether the troops are elite or not really depends on the organization behind the troops.
Therefore, the Liberation War was lost, and it cannot be blamed for the fact that the elite was wiped out during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, resulting in the current soldiers not being able to do it. To resist US aggression and aid Korea, more than half of the volunteers in the war were once the best soldiers. The same group of soldiers, under the command of the ** organization, may not even be able to defeat the Japanese puppet, and even a month before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang lost 18 county seats. However, once they become the PLA, under the organizational and command system of our party, they can fight the elite of the US military and achieve great results, and it can be said that they have always been elite. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
