KnowingthattheChinesearmyin1937wa

Knowing that the Chinese army in 1937 was not ready to fight the Japanese militarily, like the Soviets in 1941, Chiang traded time for casualties and placed his hope on diplomatic means to pressure the Japanese. 考虑到1937年中国军队尚未准备好与日本作战，像苏联在1941年那样，蒋中正把希望寄托在通过外交手段施压日本上，从而用时间交换伤亡。 Chiang’s meddling style of leadership and interference in military operations contributed to a loss greater than was necessary; the Chinese could have fought a delaying action, according to German-inspired strategy, and withdrawn earlier. 蒋介石在军事行动和领导风格上的干涉，加剧了不必要的损失；按照德国启发的战略，中国本可以采取拖延战术，并在更早的时候撤退。 While China burned, the West, on whom China had pinned so much hope for rescue, did not come to its aid; instead, it was the Soviet Union that extended a helping hand, although not as far as Chiang would have liked. 当中国陷入困境时，西方国家——中国曾寄予厚望的救援者——并未伸出援手；相反，援助来自苏联，尽管程度不如蒋介石所希望的那样。 感兴趣的小伙伴们, 欢迎点赞, 关注加评论哦~~, 后面将继续为大家讲解
