Economically, there are many differences between Yan'an and Chongqing, but if these can be said to be because the doctrines and systems of the Red Party are more suitable for war, then the political ecology of the two places makes us even more surprised.
The Chongqing Government is the only central government recognized by all China’s powerful factions, including Yan’an. However, what is interesting is that the authority of the Chongqing Government is not worthy of its title of central government. Up to now, except for the areas occupied by the Japanese Red Party armed forces
In addition, there are still a large number of warlord forces such as Xinjiang's Yunnan Army, Longyun's Northwest Ma's Army, etc., which violate Chongqing's military and political orders. Even in the Chongqing National Army, there are many factions. In the war against Japan, they often get involved because they are not troops of their own system.
If they do not help each other, they will also make things difficult for people who are not part of their own system in terms of civil and political governance.
Of course, the Chongqing government has been rectifying these problems, but the rectifications I have seen are very unrepeatable. They are taking advantage of this special period of the Anti-Japanese War to deploy personnel to non-central government forces in various places. I don’t know what will happen in peacetime.
, whether the central government of Chongqing can still do this? It is also worth mentioning that many troops surrendered and defected to the Japanese army after receiving no nearby assistance. It is said that the number of Chinese people in China who have helped the Japanese army in fighting has exceeded one
Millions, and it is still rising. The number of people I am talking about does not include the Manchurian Army in the Northeast.
I personally think that although Chiang Kai-shek has ways to corrode other forces, using this method against the Red Party forces may not have much effect. Chiang Kai-shek's method is to use money and power to make transactions, which is very rare in this Eastern country.
I think it is the most effective way, but for the Red Party, I find it hard to believe that money or power will have an effect on them, at least now I am afraid it will not have much effect. Just a few years ago, their main force abandoned their forces in the south.
Everything was carried out in a strategic shift they called the Long March. At that time, any one of them who defected to the White Party would receive huge amounts of money and great power.
Therefore, I believe that the only way to solve China's future problems is to cooperate in building a government. However, judging from the New Fourth Army incident, the gap between the two parties is still very deep. It is only because of the existence of the Japanese army that they unite with the outside world. As long as this external force disappears, then
A civil war is likely to break out in China, and our country must prepare in advance for this special situation in China in order to obtain the greatest benefits.
When it comes to political cooperation, the Red Party is much smarter than the White Party. They are learning how to strengthen themselves to the greatest extent with other people who can cooperate. I have met their chairman, and their chairman likes to use the Three Kingdoms most.
For example, he said that everyone in the world can be divided into three types of people, friends and foes. To become strong, a force must unite the most friends and then resolutely attack the enemy. Therefore, the Red Party was the first to put forward the demand.
United with the White Party to deal with the Japanese army, and in domestic affairs, they also proposed uniting the democrats to deal with the White Party. So what we can see is that in China, the Red Party has many potential friends. This is another topic worthy of our discussion.
Yan Xishan, whom I mentioned before, was originally a member of the anti-Red White Party and the actual ruler of Shanxi. I believe we have a drawer of detailed information about him. When I talked with him, I found that he now supports the Red Party.
Yan Xishan was willing to work with the Red Party to build the country. We initially thought this was a lie because of
, there is even a general named Fu Zuoyi whose military rank is the same as that of the top military leader of the Red Party.
Only one-third of the members of the Red Party's parliament, which they call the Senate or Congress, have Red Party status. There are more non-Red Party members than Red Party members, and among them are a large number of former Yan Xishan's subordinates.
It's an unbelievable fact.
It is generally believed that there should be no place for landlords, capitalists and factory owners to live in places where the Red Party is located, but this is not what I saw in Yan'an. Although landlords and capitalists factory owners were criticized, their lives were not endangered.
In the region, most of the land from landlords was compulsorily acquired a long time ago. In places such as Shanxi and Shandong where I went, the landlords there were not forced to acquire land, but were required to reduce the rent and interest to tenants. Other capitalists
The same is true for most factory owners. As long as they support the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Party is willing to cooperate with them. The Red Party of China calls them progressives. Some are even members of the White Party. The Red Party does not force them. I am working with them.
During the conversation, I learned that although they actually no longer have much connection with Chongqing, they are unwilling to give up their identity as the White Party. They consider themselves to be a new party. They are contacting Yan Xishan in the hope of creating a new party.
This is also an interesting phenomenon. You must know that this is absolutely impossible to happen in Chongqing.
Therefore, after our investigation, we believe that the Red Party has more vision and ideas than the White Party when it comes to solving China's problems. They value farmers and cooperation more. We are extremely doubtful that if a civil war breaks out in China after the war with Japan, there will be
Countless White troops were neutralized under the Red Party's banner of cooperation.
Finally, there is the military aspect, which is also the most important part of our investigation. After all, the grievances and grievances between the Red Party and the White Party must be resolved after the war against Japan. During our contact with the White and Red Parties, we found that they all believed that
Before the end of the war against Japan, they could not really start a full-scale war unless one side gave up the war against Japan.
The first thing we know about is the Chongqing Army. Most of the commanders in the Chongqing Army graduated from the military academy. The backbone of them are officers from the Huangpu Clan who graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy. Most of the top officers also graduated from the military academy. This is consistent with ours.
Western armies are very similar.
But their soldiers are different from ours. Most of their soldiers and grassroots officers have no military school experience. It is even said that many soldiers and grassroots officers are illiterate. Their training is very poor. Only a handful of elite troops are in war.
Former conscripts and well-trained soldiers. Although many soldiers from other armies joined the army because of family hatred and hatred for the country, more of them joined the army to catch young men or to have a bite to eat. When these people fight, they often
Some of them are just to save their lives, not to kill the enemy. The training of these soldiers is also very poor. Although the Chongqing government has established institutional systems and behavioral norms to train recruits, and even hopes that all recruits can receive two phases of recruit training totaling half a year, but
In fact, most of the recruits were sent to the front line after only two or three months, and could only learn while fighting. At the same time, their soldiers learned more from experience. Although it was written in the books, they themselves
They are illiterate and no one has taught them how to read, so they cannot read calipers, let alone combat maps. However, I believe that if these soldiers with combat experience receive scientific training, they will definitely have strong combat effectiveness.
When their junior officers were studying, they were particularly interested in the strategic operations of large units. They often made military-level movements during conversations, but had no interest in basic tactical actions. They despised standardized drills and ignored small actions. Although their senior officers knew these shortcomings, they did not
If you know how to change, you can only keep emphasizing it in meetings, and I don't think these emphases have much effect.
In terms of the source of soldiers, the Red Party armed forces are very different from the National Army in Chongqing. Most of their troops are voluntary enlistments. They will even ask every once in a while if there are any who are unable to persist in fighting behind enemy lines. If so, as long as these people
Promising not to betray the troops will let them leave and give them severance pay. This kind of thing is not seen in the National Army. I think this is caused by differences in military concepts. The Red Party armed forces believe that everyone can win the war by working together.
, so they don’t want to have unrest in their troops. Since most of the Red Party armed forces are at the rear of the Japanese-occupied areas, they pay more attention to confidentiality. In comparison, the National Army in Chongqing is much worse.
What is different from the National Army is the training of soldiers. Although they are all composed of inexperienced farmers, the training of the Red Party armed forces is very systematic. From starting in formation to shooting and dropping bombs, everything is centered around actual combat.
Most of their troops use veterans to teach new recruits, and they attach great importance to cultural learning. At the same time, they have strict requirements on combat drills and modify them at any time to conform to reality.
Their senior commanders are similar to those of the National Army. Most of them came from military academy lecture halls or Whampoa Military Academy in various places. Most of the middle and lower-level officers have not attended regular military academies. However, the Red Party itself has established a unique military academy.
The system, from the Anti-Japanese University that trains middle and high-level commanders to the Anti-Japanese Artillery Academy, the Anti-Japanese Communication College, the Anti-Japanese Medical College that trains special talents, and then to the Anti-Japanese non-commissioned officer schools and guerrilla training courses in various places to train middle and low-level officers, makes all the Red Party armed forces
Officers have the opportunity to learn modern military theory and command art, and their learning is more in line with their actual needs.
In terms of armament, Chongqing’s military equipment is mainly German and Soviet. Most of the Soviet equipment is weapons aided by the Soviet Union. Their air force is now all Soviet aircraft. According to my judgment, their light weapons and equipment
Compared with the Japanese army, if we ignore the issue of ammunition and consider the quantity, Chongqing's light weapons are not at a disadvantage, but in terms of heavy weapons, the National Army has almost no heavy firepower, only a small number of artillery with a caliber of more than 100mm and 75mm.
They are already cutting-edge weapons, and tanks are even more lacking. But fortunately, the area they are currently operating in is a mountainous area, and the Japanese army's advantage in heavy weapons has been greatly weakened.
There are three main problems in Chongqing's armaments. First, Chongqing lacks ammunition and has less self-produced weapons. Second, there are few heavy weapons. If my country intends to assist it, this aspect is the focus. Third, it lacks air power. When I was investigating in Chongqing, I saw several scenes of Japanese bombings.
In addition to German-style and Soviet-style weapons and equipment, the Red Party also had a large number of Japanese-style equipment in their frontline troops. These equipment were captured by them. It is said that when China and Japan went to war in 1937, the Red Party armed everyone
There are only three rounds of ammunition on average, but now their main force requires each rifleman to carry twenty rounds of ammunition when fighting. This is mainly due to the improvement of their self-production and reloading capabilities. I saw that each of their base areas has
With the ability to reload bullets, this is something that Chongqing does not have. Although the ammunition is relatively sufficient, at least for the past, they still require soldiers to practice marksmanship, or to improve their shooting accuracy by letting the Japanese troops get closer.
From my observation, I think the marksmanship of the Red Party armed forces is obviously much better than that of the National Army.
In addition, in terms of heavy firepower, in addition to the captured Japanese artillery, the Red Party armed forces can also produce their own mortars and some 75mm mountain artillery anti-aircraft guns. These are mainly produced in the two industrial bases of Yan'an and Shanxi, although the quality cannot be said
Good, but it solves the problem of whether or not.
There are two main problems with the Red Party's armed armaments. First, although it has the ability to produce its own weapons, it is still insufficient and needs to increase its self-production capabilities; second, it cannot produce its own heavy weapons and aircraft, and few have been seized, which is relatively lacking. This and
The same goes for the National Army.
In addition to training and equipment, the internal atmosphere of the red and white armies is also different. There are many things that the red party's armed forces help each other. Officers and soldiers rarely fight and scold, which is more common in the national army. At the same time, there is a kind of People are called political commissars. They will solve the psychological problems of soldiers, boost morale, and teach culture. I think political commissars are the real core of the Red Party’s armed forces. This can be seen when I went to the Taihang Mountains. Although the military commander is Liu Bocheng, Political Commissar Deng Xianxian's status is no lower than Liu's. When they were studying combat plans, one of them would often speak, and the other would interrupt from time to time, and they would jointly draft combat orders and sign them jointly. Therefore, Liu and Deng's troops generally couldn't figure out what was going on. The instructions and opinions are Liu's, and which are Deng's. I only know that these are Liu and Deng's intentions and Liu Deng's instructions. It is worth mentioning that during the conversation with them, I found that Deng Xianxian was extremely eager to understand the situation in our United States. , he seemed to be more interested in us than others, which made me have an idea. We already have a lot of American workers in the Chinese Red Party. Can some political power be generated among these people? In addition, can the Red Party be cultivated? If we create some people who have a good impression of our country, it will be more useful for our country to judge the situation in my country in the future. Of course, these require us to first establish a formal exchange system with the Chinese Red Party.
Finally, I went to the New Fourth Army in South China. The troops of the New Fourth Army were composed of the guerrillas left by the original Chinese Red Party in the south. When I arrived, they were preparing to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army in Jiangsu. We arrived on the battlefield
Observing their operations, we found that the Japanese army was mainly composed of Chinese Nanjing troops and real Japanese troops. Among them, the Chinese Nanjing troops had poor combat capabilities, poor equipment, and basically no heavy firepower. However, this force allowed the Japanese army to
The forces of the Japanese army were liberated from the vast occupied areas. It can be said that without them, it would be very difficult for the Japanese army to hold the current area in China. To be continued...
