In the early days of the liberation war, the Kuomintang occupied a great advantage in its comprehensive strength. At that time, there were 4.3 million Kuomintang troops, including 248 regular brigades, which ruled 76% of the country and received US$ 65.438+0.3 billion in aid from the US government. At that time, the People's Liberation Army of the producer was 6.5438+0.2 million, and the number of regular troops only accounted for 50%. Most of the liberated areas are economically backward areas. Both militarily and economically, the strength of the two sides can be described as worlds apart.
However, after the civil war, the Kuomintang failed in just a few years, and the reasons for the failure were caused by many factors.
Although the Kuomintang occupied most of the area at that time, it was not really unified, and warlords around the country still had great rights. So on the surface, Chiang Kai-shek has a lot of troops, but only about half of them can be mobilized at will.
There are factions and intrigues within the Kuomintang. Local warlords have their own plans, and the Central Army is divided into several factions. Even the intelligence part is divided into military and central departments. Factional fighting, internal friction is very serious.
The most important thing is that War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has just ended, the country is in urgent need, and the broad masses of soldiers and civilians are eager to repair it. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's personal prestige reached its peak because of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. At this time, if he chooses to take the road of peace, it will be the will of the people and the general trend. But Chiang Kai-shek chose civil war, which made Chiang Kai-shek lose the hearts and minds of the people.
