In the report, Gu Yu believed that the Kuomintang army was strong on the surface, but in fact it was very weak in nature. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFrom the history of the Kuomintang's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it is not difficult to see that after eight years of the War of Resistance, the overall combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army has not only not improved, but has weakened even more. If we compare the frontal battlefield of the Kuomintang army against Japan in the frontal battlefield before the surrender of the devils in August 1945 with the front against Japan in October 1938, we will find that the front of the Kuomintang army against Japan not only did not advance, but retreated a lot. One of the biggest fronts retreated was the shameful defeat of the Kuomintang in 1944 on the battlefield of Henan, Hunan and Guizhou, and although the Kuomintang won some victories on the frontal battlefield in 1945 and some fronts advanced, others continued to retreat. By the time the devils surrendered in August, the Kuomintang front against Japan had not returned to the state it had been in when Guangzhou and Wuhan had fallen in October 1938, nor to the state before the defeat of Yuxianggui in April 1944. The only plausible explanation for the retreat of the Kuomintang on the Japanese front is to prove the serious low combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army.

Gu Yu said that if the Kuomintang front against Japan could return to the state before the defeat of Yuxianggui before the surrender of the devils, then there would undoubtedly be a huge risk in fighting the Kuomintang now, but now this risk is not. On the contrary, the shameful performance of the Kuomintang during the War of Resistance exposed the three fatal wounds of the Kuomintang army.

The first fatal wound was the serious lazy mentality in the Kuomintang. As the ruling party with a population of 40,000, the Kuomintang has never thought of relying on its own strength to defend the country, and has always relied on foreigners to protect itself. During the September 18 Incident in 1931, the Kuomintang government openly told the Chinese people that it would ask the League of Nations under the control of Britain and France to mediate and stop the aggression of the Japanese devils. After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Kuomintang authorities hoped that the United States, the initiator of the 1922 Washington Convention, would join forces with other signatories to the convention to curb the aggression of devils. After the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941 and the entry of the United States and Britain into the war against Japan, the Kuomintang authorities felt that they could rely on the United States to defeat Japan in the future, so they could lie in the rear and wait for the victory of the War of Resistance. The evil consequence of this lazy mentality of always relying on foreigners to protect themselves is that when the Kuomintang was fighting against Japan, it did not dare to actively seek and discover advantageous fighters, did not dare to take the initiative to attack devils, could not grasp the initiative in the war, and was always fighting defensive wars, so it was always passively beaten.

During the Anti-Japanese War, although the Kuomintang army claimed to have fought 22 battles, except for the counteroffensive on the Yunnan-Burma battlefield in 1944, the rest of the battles were defensive battles. This is always an embarrassing situation of fighting a defensive war, and it will not be of any benefit to the Kuomintang in the civil war that is about to begin, because if the Kuomintang wants to fight a civil war now, it must take the initiative to attack, and the vast majority of the Kuomintang troops have no experience in offensive warfare.

The second fatal wound was the poor sense of partnership among the various units of the Kuomintang army. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang fought at least 100,000 and more than 1 million at each meeting. So many troops participated in the war together, but the Kuomintang troops could not coordinate and cooperate with each other, divide labor and cooperate, and effectively give play to the advantages of the collective. On the battlefield, each unit always fights on its own, and in the end, most of them are broken by the devils with fewer people.

The third fatal wound was the strong sense of fighting in the Kuomintang army. The Kuomintang army had many large-scale civil wars between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang before the all-out war of resistance, and after the all-out war of resistance, this kind of fighting still occurred frequently after a makeover. Not only were the Kuomintang Central Army and the local armies engaged in a big fight in the nest, but even the Kuomintang Central Army was engaged in a nest fight. In November 1943, the Kuomintang Yu Chengwan troops guarded Changde, and in June 1944, the 10th Military Xianjue Department guarded Hengyang. Although these two troops were both Kuomintang Central Army, the other Kuomintang Central Army generals who were responsible for reinforcements did not want to see Yu Fang and the two become famous in a battle, and deliberately did not contribute to the reinforcements, resulting in Yu Chengwan and Fang Xianjue not seeing the reinforcements arrive after holding on for 16 days and 47 days respectively.

Gu Yu said that precisely because the Kuomintang had three fatal wounds, their military strength was only superficial, but their essence was very weak. They are now starting a civil war, and it is a huge military risk for them. And as long as we make good use of the three fatal wounds of the Kuomintang, we can defeat the Kuomintang militarily.

Gu Yu also said that although the Kuomintang could not fight a cooperative battle, it was still very difficult for the Kuomintang army to fight alone with corps and divisions, especially in the defensive battle of important strongholds. Gu Yu suggested that in the early stage of the war with the Kuomintang, it was necessary to avoid attacking the important strongholds guarded by the other side, and the focus was on striking at the enemy of field sports. Later, when the armament is improved and the level of combat effectiveness is increased, attempts are made to attack the enemy's strong strongholds.

Gu Yu also analyzed that although the Kuomintang army basically has no experience in offensive warfare, the Kuomintang still has an absolute superiority in troops, and when they attack the liberated areas, they will inevitably attack from multiple directions, while the People's Liberation Army, which has a relatively small number of troops, can only concentrate its forces to attack one of the routes, and it is impossible to keep out all the attacking enemies, so that other enemies who have not been attacked will take advantage of the situation to occupy the land in the liberated areas in front of them. That is, at the beginning of the civil war, it was inevitable that some land would be lost in the liberated areas. Therefore, the whole party must have a sober understanding of the temporary difficulties in the early stage of the civil war and be adequately prepared to deal with them.

After Gu Yu wrote the report, he asked Luo Zhiping's opinion, and Luo Zhiping had no objection. The report was thus sent to the Central Committee.

On the third day after the report was delivered, ****** met with them at their residence in Zaoyuan and told them that the Kuomintang was bent on going its own way to fight a civil war, and that your proximity to Nanjing was the key target of the Kuomintang's attack, so you should go back as soon as possible and prepare for the battle. Since some localities need to be abandoned in the early stages of the war, you must ensure that every county has a guerrilla brigade in the enemy-occupied areas, and that each district must have a guerrilla squad or guerrilla squadron with no less than 50 guns, just as you did in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It is also necessary to organize cadres of party and government organs at the county and district levels and set up armed engineering teams, and each county must have several armed engineering teams. The purpose of this was to make the people in the enemy-occupied areas feel that the Communist Party was still there and that the Eighth Route Army was still there. Those cadres and fighters of the armed forces whose homes are in enemy-occupied areas will not have major mood swings if they know that guerrilla warfare still exists in their hometowns.

Shortly thereafter, the two of them flew back to Chuzhou, the capital of the Jianghuai Liberated Zone, on a US military plane with their accompanying secretaries, staff officers, and security guards.

When the plane flew over Chuzhou, it was raining, and a US military crew member told them in stiff Chinese that one of the plane's oil pipes had suddenly burst. This sudden accident made almost the Chinese on the plane nervous, and Gu Yu was very calm and comforted everyone to calm down. After a while, a sweaty mechanic stepped out of the cockpit and told everyone that the fault had been eliminated. Subsequently, the plane began to dive, slow down, and glide, and was welcomed by the wind, rain, and fog, and landed smoothly on the airstrip in the south of Chuzhou City.

In order to thank the US military crew for escorting them, Gu Yu and Luo Zhiping agreed to entertain them at the Baihelou restaurant in Chuzhou City. (To be continued.) )
