In the long scroll of China's modern history, there are many chapters that are remarkable, and the transformation of the three main forces of the Red Army in 1936 is undoubtedly an important page in them. At that time, in the face of the grim situation of the country's survival, these troops were resolutely reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army for the common goal of resisting Japan. Today, we're going to take a closer look at this history and the meaning behind it.
First of all, the 115th Division, in the process of reorganization, retained the iron-blooded spirit and fighting style forged during the Red Army period. It has not only been significantly improved in terms of equipment, but also made a qualitative leap in strength. It is reported that at the time of the reorganization, the 115th Division had tens of thousands of soldiers and was equipped with advanced weapons and equipment at that time. This not only greatly enhances its ability to suppress firepower on the battlefield, but also improves its mobility and defense capabilities.
Looking at the 120th Division, this unit is remarkable for its unique trajectory. At the beginning of the reorganization, although the 120th Division was slightly inferior in size and equipment compared with the other two divisions, it relied on its excellent discipline and flexible combat tactics to perform many miraculous feats in subsequent battles. The guerrilla tactics it adopted posed a huge threat behind enemy lines and effectively contained the Japanese forces.
As for the 129th Division, it is known for its rock-solid defensive line. Soon after the reorganization, the division demonstrated its impressive defensive capabilities. Whether it was the difficult terrain, the difficult conditions, or the fierce enemy fire, it seemed that there was nothing to fear in front of the 129th Division. They used every inch of land to build fortifications and effectively used all kinds of equipment to fight back.
It is worth mentioning that many outstanding leaders and commanders have emerged in these three divisions, who are innovative, good at commanding, proficient in the art of war, and deeply loved and respected by their subordinates. For example, a division commander was widely praised for his command skills and care for his soldiers.
In addition, we cannot ignore the rich experience accumulated by these troops in participating in important historical events such as the Long March and the Agrarian Revolution. It is precisely these lessons and lessons that have enabled them to deal with the more complex, changeable, cruel and bloody battlefield of resistance against Japan more calmly.
To sum up, after the reorganization of the three main forces of the Red Army into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army in 1936, they all had their own obvious characteristics and advantages in terms of strength, equipment, and development. The 115th Division was formidable with its firepower, the 120th Division was known for its agility, and the 129th Division was impregnable as a fortified fortress. These troops and their leaders undoubtedly made great contributions to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and left a strong mark in history.
