蒋介石的手令制度具有以下几项特色:第一,蒋的大量颁布手令,仅为战争时期的权宜措施,1950年以后所颁布的手令即大为减少;即使在1950年以前,蒋也再三督促所属尽量不以手令形式颁布命令,因此实难谓蒋无尊重体制之心。其次,蒋所颁布手令的内容包括极广,越级指挥者并不多见,少数越级指挥且出现弊端较为严重者,仅为有关作战方面的手令。第三,军事将领喜好越级指挥作战,乃是在长期指挥小兵团的环境中所养成的习惯,加以缺乏指挥大兵团作战的训练与经验所致,因此好越级指挥作战者,绝非仅限于蒋一人,而是一种普遍现象。更有进者,如将蒋的大量颁布手令放在战时中国艰困的物质环境下观察,可以发现除此之外,似乎也没有其他更好的选择。 Chiang Kai-shek’s warrant system has the following characteristics: First, Chiang’s massive warrant was merely an expeditious measure during the war, and warrants were greatly reduced after 1950. Even before 1950, Chiang repeatedly urged his subordinates Try not to issue orders in the form of a warrant, so it is hard to say Chiang has no respect for the heart of the system. Second, the contents of the warrant issued by Chiang include a very wide range of cross-class commanders, and the few who leapfrog and lead to more serious malpractices are war fighters on operational matters. Thirdly, military generals prefer to jump over commanders and foes in the environment of long-term command of small corps, and because of the lack of training and experience in commanding large corps operations, it is by no means limited to Chiang is a man, but a common phenomenon. Even the more advanced, such as the large number of Chiang issued war instructions on the wartime China’s difficult physical environment observed, we can see that, in addition, it seems there is no other better choice.
