On December 19, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek**, who had been glorious for a while, led the army to leave the mainland. Chiang Kai-shek's personal captain could still recall the picture of that day a few years later, that day should be the darkest moment in Chiang Kai-shek's life, he looked at this magnificent mountain and river, but could only leave far away.
Chiang Kai-shek's defeat was not an accident, corruption and ** were the fundamental reasons for his retreat from Taiwan. In the history of our country, that long period of being invaded was undoubtedly a pain in the hearts of every Chinese people, and everyone was imagining the establishment of a new China and the construction of a beautiful People's Republic of China. However, Chiang Kai-shek went against the grain, implemented ** rule, and vainly wanted to restore the feudal imperial system at another level, and committed inhumane evil deeds to our party. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, and Chiang Kai-shek's actions have made the people hate him, so he will never succeed one day.
At that time, the Kuomintang's equipment and financial capacity were far above that of our party. This also gave Chiang Kai-shek the confidence to annihilate our party. On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek realized that the Communist Party at this time was no longer a weak group that was confiscated at that time but was powerless to resist, and their ability was much higher than that of the Kuomintang. At this time, the Kuomintang army had already been defeated and retreated. Chiang Kai-shek, in order to retain his remaining force, quickly led the remaining forces and fled to Taiwan beyond the strait.
Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling were extravagant by nature, and even when it was time to flee, they did not forget the gold, silver and jewelry. They want to raise another elite army in Taiwan and return to the mainland in the future. However, after arriving in Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek counted the equipment and number of troops accompanying Taiwan, and was so disappointed that he even felt that returning to the mainland was a fool's dream.
When Chiang Kai-shek came to Taiwan, 600,000 troops went with him, but these people were not elite troops who were good at fighting. In the early years, they followed Chiang Kai-shek to conquer the south and the north, but they were already scarred and lost the ability to go deep into the front line of the battlefield. Leading them to Taiwan is better than nothing. The navy is also weak, but the navy has only 50 ships, and the navy that can carry this number cannot form a battle team at all.
The Air Force suffered the least losses in equipment and personnel, and after arriving in Taiwan, there were more than 400 fighters left in the Air Force, and there was no damage that affected their use. This is much more than on the mainland. However, when the people first arrived in Taiwan, they lacked supplies, and the diesel fuel used by the fighters could only be used for two months, and they could not replenish the supply in a timely manner, and even daily training was a problem, so how could they attack the mainland.
Chiang Kai-shek also understood at this time that his general trend had gone and he could no longer make a comeback. Chiang Kai-shek was privately an extremely conservative and traditional-minded Chinese. Unlike his wife Soong Meiling, who loves Western culture, Chiang Kai-shek has always loved Chinese food, and attaches great importance to genealogy and ancestral homes. Treating his two blonde grandsons with Russian ancestry, Chiang Kai-shek loved him, but he often regretted that his children and grandchildren were not authentic black-haired and black-eyed.
One can imagine how much the elderly Chiang Kai-shek missed his homeland, and although Taiwan is also a part of China, it is far from the customs and habits of his hometown on the mainland. It's a pity that life didn't come back, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't return to his homeland until he died.
