First, how rich was the family before the rebellion?
After the reorganization, the whole army has a total of 200 thousand people, all of whom are elite. Among them, the Third Army under the command of Zhang Xueliang is simply the elite of the elite. The troops and equipment are first-class. It can be said that the proportion was much higher than that of the warlords of the Republic of China at that time, and the equipment and personnel were higher than those of the Japanese army. Moreover, the 3 rd regiment is also equipped with an artillery brigade and an engineering battalion cavalry battalion. No matter from what aspect, the ability is the strongest, and it can be said that the family background of the army at that time was extremely strong.
Second, on the surface, there are many losses.
How much did you lose on the surface in this civil war? We must know that the rebellion of the Third Corps will cost at least tens of thousands of people, and at the same time, the Fourth Corps and the Guard also lost, about 20,000 people. In the course of the battle, the Second Legion lost more than 10,000 elites. These miscellaneous armies were almost completely annihilated, and some people of the Tenth Army surrendered under the leadership of the Chief of Staff. So on the surface, this time the elite lost at least 50,000 people, while the miscellaneous army lost at least 654.38+10,000 people.
You know, there were 400,000 soldiers in Zhang before the war, so it is entirely possible to kill Feng Yuxiang. However, it was very tragic after the war. Most of the reasons for this ending were caused by this civil war, which directly reduced the strength of the whole army.
Third, the loss of optimism.
Let's look at the loss that is not on the bright side. At that time, Zhang defeated Guo Songling and signed a treaty with Japan, but later he went back on his word and Japan was very dissatisfied with his failure to fulfill the treaty. It happened on 1928. So it has something to do with Guo Songling's rebellion at that time.
The relationship between Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling has always been very good. He entrusted him with the command of the army. I didn't expect him to make such a fuss. As a result, many people think that Zhang Xueliang can't help. After being alone, he pays less and less attention to Zhang Xueliang. Just after this incident, Zhang Xueliang thought that Guo Songling was forced to do this mainly to completely overhead his power. At this time, the contradiction between Zhang Xueliang and some related issues will become deeper and deeper, and there will be no trust. This internal contradiction has given the Japanese great opportunities.
It can be said that after the death of Zhang Zuo Lin, Zhang Xueliang's voice in the army became weaker and weaker, and many people stopped listening to Zhang Xueliang's orders. The most fundamental reason for this problem was the mutiny in Guo Songling at that time.
So in general, during the period of1925,65438+February, the army had already died in the mutiny.
