Background of grasping able-bodied men:
1937 When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, the total strength of the National Revolutionary Army was about 1.7 million. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the national army expanded greatly. Under the anti-Japanese United front, the Red Army led by the former Chinese Production Party was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army (later renamed the Eighteenth Army) and the New Fourth Army.
194 1 1 After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Indian troops stationed in India were also organized to enter Myanmar to cooperate with the British army, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army (the troops stationed in India also fought in India).
By 1945, the National Revolutionary Army had 120 troops, 354 divisions, plus independent brigades and regiments, with a strength of 5 million people. Under the leadership of the National Government, there were 22 large-scale battles between the national army and the Japanese army. 1 165438.
32 1 19 14 people were killed, injured and missing in the army (including 2.3 million people lost from the outbreak of the anti-Japanese war in 37 years to the end of 40 years, and nearly 654338+000005 in 4 145 years)
Coupled with non-battlefield losses such as downsizing due to illness, the national army lost more than 4 million people. However, in the big and small battles, the Japanese army killed 483,708 people and injured 1, 934,820 people. In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, 204 generals died in battle.
Kuomintang army reorganization plan;
Under the mediation of the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, the two parties 1946 signed the "Basic Plan for the National Revolutionary Army in the Army Reorganization and Unification" in Chongqing in February.
The plan stipulates that within 12 months, the army will be reduced to 108 divisions, 90 divisions of the Kuomintang and * * * production party 18 divisions. After that, it was reduced to 50 divisions of the Kuomintang and * * * production party 10 divisions within 6 months. However, when the whole army was still in its infancy, the two sides went to war again in June of the same year.
At this time, 4.3 million people in the National Revolutionary Army have completed the reorganization of the puppet troops after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, including 2-2.2 million regular troops available for mobile operations.
In contrast, in September of 1945, the regular army of * * was1270,000 plus 2.68 million militiamen. In the national army, there have always been well-equipped and well-trained troops and troops with different treatments with low quality and equipment and poor military discipline. The latter are often hostile to each other and it is difficult to unify command.
Since 1947, local * * * production party forces have abandoned the title of National Revolutionary Army (National Army) and renamed it "China People's Liberation Army".
