1946 all-out civil war broke out.
1949, New China was founded under the leadership of * * *.
Therefore, the period of 1945- 1949 was a period of civil war between * * * and the Kuomintang.
1June, 946, Chiang Kai-shek's forces at that time, including regular and irregular troops, navy, air force, special forces, rear organs and military academies, totaled 4.3 million people; As for China, the regular army (field army) is only 6 1 10,000, the local army (military region, sub-district and county-level armed forces) is 660,000, and the personnel in the rear organs total1270,000. The strength of both sides is 3.37 1. ?
Chiang Kai-shek's troops, with advanced equipment and excellent weapons, received weapons and equipment from 1 million Japanese invaders and a lot of assistance from the US government during their stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. About a quarter of his regular army is equipped with American equipment, more than half with Japanese equipment and a quarter with mixed equipment. They not only have a large number of artillery, but also a considerable number of tanks, combat aircraft and naval vessels.
The People's Liberation Army led by China * * is only equipped with all kinds of infantry firearms (mainly rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars) and a very small number of mountain guns and field guns. There are no tanks, planes and warships. Chiang Kai-shek controlled almost all major cities and traffic arteries in China, controlled 76% of the country's land and 7 1% of the population, controlled almost all modern industries, and the arms industry was also quite large.
China, on the other hand, accounts for only 24% of the national land and 29% of the population. There are no big cities except Harbin. Its economy mainly depends on agriculture and handicraft production, and its transportation only depends on carrying, carrying, pulling and pushing cars. The military production base is extremely weak, and only machine rifles, grenades, explosives and a very small amount of mortars can be manufactured, which is far from meeting the operational needs.
