The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army: The reason for the actual strength and strong combat effectiveness In the years of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese people set an example for future generations with their heroic and fearless spirit. The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, as a powerful combat force at that time, had an actual strength of 400,000 troops, including regular troops and local armed forces. At that time, it was not easy to assemble such a large team. At that time, in order to better resist the Japanese army, China reorganized its troops.
Although initially there were only 115 divisions and two other divisions, the number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army grew, including the troops of the famous general Li Yunlong, whose number reached more than 7,000 at the end of the anti-Japanese period. These soldiers are not only large in number, but also very strong in armed forces, and everyone is an elite fighter. The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army often won more with less in battles, and even though it was obviously inferior in terms of numbers and equipment, it also frequently won battles.
The strength and strong combat effectiveness of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army are precisely due to the continuous addition of patriots and the high morale within the unit, which shows the tenacious will and fearless courage of the Chinese people in the face of adversity. This spirit not only deserves our respect, but also serves as an example for us. In the field armies in North China and Northeast China, the officers and men of the 115th Division occupy a considerable proportion, so the combat strength of the entire unit is very strong.
Shandong's troops alone can be divided into eight divisions, which can almost be regarded as an independent army. Although the 115th Division did not have many people, they developed very quickly. The size of the force was too large to be accurately counted, with the regular army alone numbering about 200,000 men, and with the addition of forces elsewhere, the total could reach 400,000 or more. This is only a rough estimate, and the actual number is likely to be higher, as people are joining the force at any time.
Our troops have developed at such a rapid pace that they have completely surpassed those of the Japanese. Although the Japanese team was full of personnel at the beginning of the battle, by the end of the battle, it was faced with the dilemma of insufficient personnel. And our team is constantly growing. The 115th Division captured a large number of ** from the Japanese army, expanding our armed forces, and the combat effectiveness of various units gradually increased. From the initial development of more than 10,000 people, it is difficult for us to imagine how many tests have been passed through to the current scale.
At present, our country is vigorously developing its military strength in order to never again follow the old path of history. We do not ask you to make tangible contributions to the country, we only hope that you will be more respectful and understanding of our country's military personnel.
