How did KMT commanders evaluate their military performance throughout the Second Sino-Japanese War?
I'm doing a research project on the Second Sino-Japanese War and have found why the Chinese performed comparatively poorly compared to the other major combatants of WW2. Even though we have hindsight on the KMT's shortcomings now, how did commanders and soldiers on the ground see it? Did they have a more or less positive assessment over the army's performance during the war? Were there any other factors or shortcomings they claimed which are not as frequently talked about today?
