Why can't the Wuhan Battle be fought?

2

In the battle of Changshan, Bao Changyi led his troops to bravely stop the enemy and was praised by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Wuhan's award surprised Li Wei.

I can't stand it anymore,

Li keeps getting calls from his superiors.

And the characters are more prominent than one.

First, the corps commander Zhang Fakui.

Call him in the future and order him to send reinforcements quickly. A few days later, Bai Chongxi, the vice president who was inspecting Tianjia Town, called in person.

Urge him to reinforce quickly.

All this made him angry and uneasy.

He couldn't figure out why Bao Changyi became a girl overnight.

The emperor's pet,

Wuhan has been alarmed.

He has been looking for it for so many years,

But I've never had the pleasure.

) So he ignored the national interests and only cared about personal grievances. He will be in Penzer.

teacher

As reinforcements,

Xue's commander telegraphed for help from the path.

He doesn't really want to lend a helping hand to Bao Changyi.

So I won't send it.

Send troops near Madang. He let

167

The purpose of taking the path is to be safer and keep the foundation of entrepreneurship, such as

fruit

167

Before the teacher arrived, Changshan had fallen,

167

The division can also be withdrawn intact, and Wuhan is also occupied. When?

At that time, Bai Chongxi sent a telegram directly.

167

The division came along the road to support and was caught in the middle. Neither side is human.

167

Teacher Xue

Think about it,

Finally chose to take the path.

When Bao Changyi was struggling in the hail of bullets flying in the long mountains,

Xue's tens of thousands of troops are taking their time.

Enjoy a hot dinner in an unknown small village.

The final outcome is the fall of Changshan.

However, after the military

In court,

Xue became the scapegoat of Li Yiheng.

For rescuing Ma 'an,

Please forgive my delay,

Causing heavy losses in the military.

Be shot. but

19

Li Yiheng, commander of the army, was only dismissed.

The above two examples are selected from the Battle of Madang in the early days of Wuhan Battle.

From this, we can easily see that Li Yiheng cares about his own interests.

However, it is greater than the concern for national interests.

It is indeed the sorrow of China soldiers to have such selfish people among the senior generals of the Kuomintang.

Sad,

When tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers anonymously shed their blood on the rivers and mountains of the motherland,

Some senior generals are working for

I racked my brains for my future seat at the meeting.

The third reason for failure

Some traitors betray the interests of the motherland and are willing to be spies for the enemy.

example

1

During the battle of Changshan, our air force dropped bombs on enemy ships in the Yangtze River many times to reduce the artillery pressure on them.

However, every time before the plane comes,

"Enemy ship artillery stopped shooting at Changshan position,

(pointing the gun up)

My plane arrived.

Shoot our air force with all our strength, and our air force will only fly away after dropping the bomb in a hurry.

"

However, even the commander didn't know the situation of our army's aircraft reinforcements before the battle, but the enemy could raise the artillery position in advance without knowing the Oracle.

It affected the action of our air force.

example

2

Du Longji, an officer who came down from the front, wrote in his memoirs:

"When our areas arrived near Si Liu Bridge in pengze county, it was nearly noon.

Three enemy planes attacked pengze county.

A man dressed in white was found at that time.

Yelling at work.

Soon a military warehouse

Bombed by enemy planes,

We were surprised,

Captain Bao Changyi immediately sent a platoon leader to take a group of people to check it out.

There used to be one near Gaogang.

An air defense bunker with three traitors in it,

And is equipped with a transceiver. The platoon leader was so angry that he immediately killed three traitors.

Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater, commanded the troops to retreat later.

Once I came to Chendian village in the west of the garden,

I'm also worried about the enemy's sudden attack.

At that time, he didn't have many guards,

Only headquarters staff and a small number of guards.

In the middle of the night, his sixth sense sensed danger, woke his men in the middle of the night and retreated to the west overnight. After leaving the village

I rode a cavalry into Chendian village? Such a coincidence will happen,

We speculate that most of the information was revealed by traitors.

otherwise

It was a whim of Li Zongren. I'm afraid he was the highest official killed in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China.

The fourth reason for failure

The poor equipment of our army directly affects the combat effectiveness of our troops.

According to the experience of the generals who participated in the war at that time, a division of our army with excellent weapons (about 1 10,000 or more)

There is no mistake in command.

For example, it can only be a wing and the Japanese Army (equivalent to a wing compiled by China).

3000

People around you are tied.

(this

It can also explain why Taierzhuang and so on are similar.

1

The war of attrition is China's "great victory".

)

At that time, officers and men in China were extremely enthusiastic about the war of resistance.

Fighting is hard,

The reason for the disparity in combat effectiveness is that weapons and equipment are not comparable.

Pass the Japanese army.

1

Air Force: The number of Japanese air forces far exceeds that of China. At that time, almost all the planes of China Air Force were provided by the Soviet Union. Jie Jiang

Si Tong mentioned in his letter to Stalin:

"China's bombers are insufficient at home.

Although the China Air Force has put all its eggs in one basket in all previous air battles, it still won one.

One air battle after another,

After several air battles, the number of aircraft of China Air Force also lost a lot.

After that, the air force plane

Dispatch is prudent.

The extreme disparity in the number of air force aircraft still allows the China Air Force to help the army throughout the battle

Not big,

During the whole battle, our army was basically bombed and strafed back and forth by the enemy air force.

Once, our military plane

"bad!

Attacking Japanese ground positions,

Tanks,

On the other hand, Chinese army officers and men jumped out of the trenches crazily.

Come on, come on,

The kettle was thrown into the sky.

They seem to forget that they are at the front,

Roaring stray bullets could kill them at any time.

But he

The child can't control himself. For months, as soon as they saw the plane, their instinct drove them to hide everywhere. They not only have to guard against

The sky, but also prevent the ground, death surrounded them too much. But they endured silently and fell silently.

It can be seen that although our air force wins more with less every time, it plays brilliantly.

However, because the number is too small, it is of little help to the army.

2

: artillery and tanks

The number of artillery in our army is obviously less than that of the Japanese army.

Japanese divisions are basically equipped with artillery wings.

It's equivalent to every division having a gun.

Legion.

And our army is often a division without a gun.

The importance of firearms in land warfare is self-evident.

Napoleon once said

Artillery is the soul of the army.

China's army, lacking artillery, can only use its flesh and blood to fight against the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army.

Not to mention often delaying fighters. In Song Xilian.

When the teacher swore to defend Fujinshan, the commander Song Xilian once

After inspecting the front, he wrote:

"We are in the mountains, to the enemy's activities, their artillery positions, transport fleet,.

And some wounded and sick shelters with tents,

I can see it clearly.

Unfortunately, we don't have a cannon,

If there is an artillery regiment,

Or at least an artillery battalion, can give it a devastating blow.

warship

Our navy did nothing in the battle of Wuhan.

The few gunboats in the Battle of Shanghai and Shanghai were basically used in the Battle of Wuhan.

Shen Yu blocked the waterway,

This is also very helpless.

As the enemy's air force far exceeds ours,

Did the navy get it?

To protection,

If you play, you will be destroyed and sunk immediately.

Might as well sink and block the passage.

So it is often encountered in the location of Linjiang.

The joint bombing of the enemy's army, navy and air force caused us serious casualties.

Five reasons for failure

Military law is not strict with every general, and there are some cases of shielding.

Case 1

In the battle of Guangji, first,

84

Tan leads his men's army.

188

、

189

The division held its ground,

188

Teacher Liu Ren has been studying for many years.

To serve the education of the army,

Without the experience of leading troops to fight,

So he handed over the real power to Liu Jianchang, the deputy teacher.

And teacher Liu Jian

And often served in military schools all the year round,

No combat experience.

So these two armchair generals don't know the enemy's situation.

Hurriedly counterattack, lost troops in vain, and then because of the excessive loss of troops, divisions collapsed thousands of miles, when

188

The remnants of the division fled to

84

Near the military command, Tan, the commander of the army, found it.

188

The division has collapsed across the board, and the teachers who are afraid of death even ran to the division.

Behind the military department. Tan's commander, the army, was so angry that he even called for killing, but unfortunately, he had no right.

The two men should have been dealt with by military law, but later they escaped because the commander of the theater, Bai Chongxi, favored hard-working villages and towns.

Soon after,

On the contrary, I was promoted.

Case 2

Hu Zongnan saved his strength in Xinyang World War I, removed his armored forces and artillery, and fell into the hands of friendly forces.

124

Learn from others.

Gu,

124

The division is in danger of being wiped out by the whole army because it is outflanked.

After several days of resolute opposition, he withdrew from the battlefield.

Chiang Kai-shek later

Tracing the responsibilities one by one at military meetings,

In tracing the responsibility for this war,

I cann't believe I put all the responsibility on Mr. Zeng,

Almost court-martialed him,

Finally, under the repeated assurances of others, it was handled twice.

And Chiang Kai-shek's hometown and Huangpu.

Direct Hu Zongnan is safe and sound.

Analysis:

Chiang Kai-shek's preference for his clique made him famous.

Lost the country again.

The Kuomintang shot many people in order to affirm the military law.

Cowarding generals, however, there are always some clique that can get away with it. Chiang Kai-shek's family affairs are more important than state affairs, and selfishness is more important than public interests.

Of course, his tricks and cleverness in factional struggles made him the leader of the China regime.

However, he lacks the strength of a leader.

The mind on the shore only cares about its own clique, unlike Mao Zedong, which can turn the world into its own clique.

Reason for failure 6

The phenomenon of factional hilltops within the party is serious. If troops are not from their own faction, they often can't command.

Factional mountainism in the Kuomintang is very serious.

It is often local generals who can mobilize local troops.

The Sichuan army went out to fight in Sichuan,

General Liu Xiang died because of acclimatization, and Chiang Kai-shek appointed the general to take command (of course, it also involved Chiang Kai-shek's selfishness)

, Sichuan

If the army doesn't do it, it's better to finally transfer the command of the Sichuan generals.

Even Xue Yue, a famous anti-Japanese, failed to avoid customs and was adjusted several times before the meeting.

Let's move and turn the troops in our hometown into our own hands.

If it is not a faction, it is often difficult to direct movements, such as war zone divisions.

Sir Li Zongren ordered Hu Zongnan, the commander of the group army in charge of the command, to stick to Xinyang, but Hu Zongnan did not listen to the command and did not report it.

Withdraw without authorization.

Xue Yue's Wanjialing triumph and the previous siege of Jin and Guan Qiao,

When you want to use Yuji's

74

army

(Di

Division) was also blocked in every way, and finally moved out of the military law to scare Yu Ji into obeying.

This phenomenon has undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble and disharmony in the whole army.

Reason seven of failure

The pre-war coordination was slightly improper.

Some troops have been transferred back and forth many times.

Causing low morale,

The fatigue of soldiers, coupled with the epidemic of diseases,

That some troops have not yet opened.

The war has moved.

Reasons for failure 8

Some commanders misjudged the strength of both sides.

Example:

When Li Zongren recovered, Bai Chongxi was in charge of the affairs of the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, and was once ready to fight.

A beautiful panic attack.

From now on, Bai Chongxi led his troops to launch a counterattack in the middle road, Taihu buried hill and other places, leaving the middle road alone.

In-depth division of rice leaves (no

Can't live. I think this is a failure caused by my ignorance of my own strength.

(In fact, there are only a few such as Song Xilian.

The number of rice leaf teachers surrounded by Bai Chongxi is more than 30,000.

It is not easy to eat this army.

And I had to adjust.

With the first mentioned above.

55

The army (has been transferred and transferred to exhaustion)

. How to beat such a tired teacher?

Although the fighter plane is fleeting,

However, opportunities are only given to those who are prepared.

Like Xue Yue,

Before Chiang Kai-shek withdrew his troops and repaired his life.

Oppose,

Left his own elite force,

Detained a division of the rectification army,

And deploy the fresh troops fighting guerrilla warfare nearby.

Just finished, almost

The battle of Wanjialing was consumed.

Obviously, Bai Chongxi's counterattack failed because he didn't understand hostility.

Know yourself and know yourself,

Be true to yourself

Force and the strength of the enemy can't make a correct judgment.

(Although the verdict is depressing)

People,

You can't win.

Reason 9 of failure

National strength gap

There is a big gap between the national strength of China and Japan. Mao Zedong wrote in "On protracted war":

"Japan's military, economic and political groups.

Weaving power is first-class in the east,

It is also one of the five or six imperialist countries in the world.

China is still a weak country,

Our country is inferior to the enemy militarily, economically and politically. China's industrial production has been at a low level.

The foundry industry has just started and basically belongs to an agricultural country.

It can only produce rifles, small-caliber artillery and other light weapons, and it is simply unable to build them.

And the development of national defense.

"

"Since the Meiji Restoration,

National strength has increased rapidly,

Industry has gradually developed,

The technical level has improved rapidly,

The steel output before the war has reached.

640

Ten thousand tons,

iron casting

309

Ten thousand tons.

"

The annual output of steel in China is less than1000t,

Pig iron deficiency

Tons.

)

Air Force: At that time, China didn't have the ability to independently produce aircraft, and it relied entirely on imports from the Soviet Union. There are only a hundred planes at most.

The Japanese air force has thousands of people.

Therefore, despite the heroic fighting of our pilots,

Despair,

However, small consumption will

China's already scarce air force is even worse. Loss of air superiority and support for Lu Haijun.

Ten reasons for failure

A few years before the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang authorities even claimed to "settle down outside" when the enemy was under great pressure and foreign enemies were eyeing up.

, to

Spent a lot of national strength in the civil war,

The military expenditure is huge and the debt burden is heavy.

People live in poverty,

The domestic economy is hard to get
