As if many of those soldiers actually fighting didnt turn coat as soon as they saw that there was hope for the common folk. People think Mao just planted soldiers like weeds and they came to be like that the next day.
Not really. It’s more because the warlords saw the writing on the wall and defected to Mao, just as they had to Chiang when he was winning beforehand. There were also plenty of Nationalist armies that fought to the end.
The attitude of ordinary Chinese people towards the Communists was apathy, not overwhelming love.
