This is a brief summary of American general Stilwell's evaluation of the Battle of Shanghai and Shanghai commanded by Chiang Kai-shek's "Tiequan Plan"! After the Lugouqiao Incident, Chiang Kai-shek put forward the "Iron Fist Plan" and put it into practice. Command the national army to carry out the battle of two battles in Shanghai! However, under the wrong command of Chiang Kai-shek, the battle of two battles in Shanghai ended in fiasco! It has also developed into the largest and most tragic battle in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. It also laid the groundwork for the short-term fall of Nanjing! At the same time, many epic heroes emerged in the battle of Songhu! Most of them are ordinary soldiers at the lowest level, and many of them have experienced some wars, such as warlord melee and Central Plains War. I believe that it must be hundreds of veterans who can survive such a big battle. In the Battle of Shanghai and Shanghai, with the belief of an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, they swore to hold their positions and beat back the Japanese attacks again and again. The bullet missed the bayonet and defended the honor of China soldiers to the death. All the other battalions were killed except one soldier who was ordered to break through and report to his superiors! The officers and men of the company, battalion and regiment suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Songhu. They are fierce and not afraid of death. In the era of warlord melee, they can beat the enemy out of the water with only one dash, but in the battle of two battles in Shanghai, they faced the Japanese army with military training and excellent military literacy! There is no need to consider the use of tactics during the warlord's melee, but in the battle of two battles in Shanghai, there was no use of tactics, only knowing to rush forward blindly and get beaten in vain! When a battalion commander and a whole battalion of soldiers bravely rushed forward under the cover of Japanese machine guns, two Japanese machine gunners wiped them out in three minutes. This is the tactics and fighting methods of second-rate officers! When the high command ordered the retreat, the brigade commander, teachers and commanders after the meeting did not even take the troops, but ran away directly with the guards around them. The Battle of Songhu failed, and hundreds of thousands of army soldiers ran back in a hive, which led to the soldiers being unable to find an official or an official. Everything is broken! At that time, General China abandoned his soldiers and fled, thinking only about his own life and what the consequences would be. He doesn't know how he became the ruler of the army because of his death! It is good enough to call them third-rate generals! When Chiang Kai-shek launched the "Iron Fist Plan", he decided to drive thousands of Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai out of the river. Thousands of Japanese troops would not last long, and maintaining the momentum would surely succeed. Unfortunately, the Japanese army put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek through the Red Cross to postpone the arrival of reinforcements, saying that it would stop fighting for two days and let the civilians in the war zone evacuate safely before fighting. As a result, the fighter plane was missed, leading to defeat! When Chiang Kai-shek gave the order to retreat and learned that the Nine-Nation Congress was held in the West, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the troops not to retreat and stay, and the soldiers who had just packed up and prepared to retreat could not retreat! At one time, the morale of the army was scattered and the soldiers had no morale! The unrealistic fantasy of the Nine-Nation Congress also made Chiang Kai-shek taste the bitter fruit! At the same time, the Japanese army who studied the nine-nation convention is even more unscrupulous! Troops from various countries who missed the best evacuation time rushed back, and thousands of miles of roads were full of wounded soldiers. Without any personnel to organize evacuation, 400,000 defeated troops were all exposed to the Japanese Air Force. Bombs died one after another, and there were no rescuers. What kind of suffering it is to lie on the side of the road and wait for death. These soldiers who shed blood for their country even shed tears.

In the end, the West joked that China has first-class soldiers, but only second-rate officers, third-rate generals and incompetent supreme commanders.
