Jiang Baili military strategy expert

There are two most vivid stories about Jiang Baili. The first story is 1905, when Jiang Baili graduated from the Japanese Army NCO School, he won the first place. According to the regulations of the school at that time, the first place will get the sword given by the Japanese emperor, which makes the Japanese students who graduated at the same time lose face. There is also a more legendary plot, saying that the second place is Zhang Xiaohuai, the third place is Cai E, and none of the top three are Japanese, which greatly boosted the morale of overseas students in China.

Combing Mr. Jiang Baili's life, we can easily find that he has never directly commanded troops in his life. 190 1 year, with the support of local government officials, he went to Japan to study. 1906 went to Germany to study military affairs. 19 12 served as president of Baoding Army Military Academy. 1925, Yue Se served as Wu hesun's chief of staff. 1927 and 1929 made suggestions for Tang Shengzhi. 1933, Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to visit Japan and make a battle plan against Japan. 1935 was hired as a senior consultant of the military commission. 1936 put forward the main structure of China air force. 1938 Acting President of Army University. He died a month later.

Although Mr. Jiang Baili did not directly command the army, he trained many military generals for China. Six of Chiang Kai-shek's eight donkey kong's came from his door. These people made great contributions in the Northern Expedition and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and many instructors in Huangpu Military Academy were his disciples. As a famous expert in military strategy and a top figure in military theory in China at that time, Jiang Baili never directly commanded the army in his life. It can also be said that he did not directly grasp the military power. Why?

Mr Jiang Baili founded Zhejiang Tide magazine as early as when he was studying in Japan. The preface of the magazine was written by Jiang Baili himself, full of love and articles, and was well received at that time. From this we can see that he is a scholar in essence. Zhang commented on him like this, saying that the soldiers were slightly sour and elegant, and they stayed in the wind after joining the WTO. In other words, he is suitable for strategy and staff, but not for formulating tactics and commanding front-line operations.

192 1 year, Jiang Baili also published a book, The History of the European Renaissance, which was greatly amazed by Liang Qichao.

1923 Founded the Crescent Society with Hu Shi and became friends with Xu Zhimo. His literary talent and his military strategic thought complement each other and flow in the blood of his life. From the above, we can easily see that Jiang Baili's literary temperament is too strong. At that time, in China, commanding the army required many qualities, such as being able to control his officers and having first-line training experience. Not to mention the command ability, but also the ability to quickly make correct judgments and adjust tactical deployment according to the battlefield situation. Jiang Baili probably disdains to do these things, which also determines that it is difficult for him to become an excellent military general. Of course, this did not prevent him from becoming an expert in military strategy, so Mr. Cao Juren cautiously called him a military scientist when writing his biography.

Mr. Jiang Baili studied military affairs abroad for many years and was the president of Baoding Military Academy. The training mode and teaching materials of Baoding Military Academy left a deep imprint on him. Given enough time to exercise his military command ability, he should be competent enough. However, the ever-changing political and military environment at that time did not allow and could not give him the opportunity to upgrade. Jiang Baili's reputation in the military field at that time was too great, and it was also very frightening for the warlords at that time. Zhao Erxun, Duan, Yuan Shikai, Li, Wu, Sun, Tang Shengzhi, Chiang Kai-shek, etc. are all willing to hire him as an aide or adviser, but they are not willing to let him master the actual military power. To put it bluntly, I am worried that he will use fame to support his self-esteem. During the Republic of China, social unrest made it very easy for politicians and officers to take refuge among warlords of various factions. In order to avoid these risks as much as possible, they attach great importance to loyalty, and their choices are generally confined to a narrow range of fellow villagers, classmates, friends and relatives. It is impossible for Jiang Baili to give way to obedience and servility, which also makes any warlord dare not trust him easily, let alone reuse him.

Huang Renzhi commented on him like this: A born military scientist is also a born writer. This sentence points out the problem of Jiang Baili, who is too cultured, aloof and willful, and lacks a spirit of war. As a staff officer, he is more than enough to command operations. I'm afraid he is another Zhao Kuo Ma Su.

1937 published Jiang Baili's national defense theory. He wrote on the title page: A thousand words, just to tell everyone that China has a way! He has repeatedly compared the military strength of China and Japan, and the disparity is too great. However, he firmly believes that as long as China's army makes good use of depth and trades time for space, it will surely defeat the Japanese and persist until the day of victory. Chiang Kai-shek asked him for advice many times, and he always responded in this way: don't have any illusions about the Japanese, and under no circumstances can you surrender. This article runs through China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression from beginning to end. Although Chiang Kai-shek hid in the toilet and cried at the most critical moment of the Anti-Japanese War, his confidence in persisting in the Anti-Japanese War never wavered.

1938, Jiang Baili once again advised Chiang Kai-shek, hoping that he could regard Hunan as the main battlefield of Sino-Japanese confrontation and send dignitaries to prepare as soon as possible. Later, General Xue Yue dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders in Hunan, and did not let the Japanese advance from 1939 to 1944. Although Hunan was captured by the Japanese in the battle of Yuxianggui in 1944, it also consumed almost all the Japanese resources, prevented the Japanese from advancing further, and successfully dragged the Anti-Japanese War into 1945.

Jiang Baili's daughter Jiang Ying is a tenor, and Jiang Ying's husband is Qian Xuesen, a famous science master in China. Jiang Ying inherited his father's literary cells and later worked in the Central Conservatory of Music. Her three sisters have all become outstanding talents under the education of their parents.
