Introduction: During the Anti-Japanese War, the true appearance of the Eighth Route Army, it can be said that it is the happiest thing to eat dumplings at that time, many times you can't eat a meal of dumplings a year, let alone pork stuffed dumplings, at that time, the base area was short of materials, and the Eighth Route Army itself also participated in the cultivation of wasteland, spinning and weaving, and carrying out large-scale production campaigns.
This is a rare time to eat dumplings, the nutrition problem of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army has always been a big problem, without a strong body, there is no way to run long distances, there is no way to fight bayonets with little devils, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, my Eighth Route Army and little devils fight bayonets, basically three to fight one, there are two reasons, one is that the nutrition of the soldiers can not keep up, and the other is insufficient assassination training.
In addition to training, the soldiers had to help the common people open up the wasteland and cultivate the land, which on the one hand enhanced the relationship with the villagers, and on the other hand, it could also ensure the food supply of the soldiers.
At that time, many counties in China had this kind of city wall, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially our Eighth Route Army did not have heavy weapons, and sometimes captured the enemy's heavy artillery, but the number of shells was very limited.
The Eighth Route Army was training, and at this time the role of veterans became prominent, and veterans with combat experience were the core of a unit, and when the troops exploded rapidly, these veterans were responsible for training new recruits, and some veterans with rich combat experience were promoted quickly.
For the same number of troops, the ranks of veterans are generally stronger than those of newly formed units, and these veterans are experienced in combat, have a firm will, and are tenacious in combat.
This kind of siege training, the veteran has a very advantage, judging the strength of the city, where to make a breakthrough, how to climb the city wall, sometimes the veteran has a lot of ideas, such as mortar shooting, or digging tunnels to blow up the city wall.
Train more and endure hardships in peacetime, and shed less blood and sacrifice less in wartime.
This kind of heavy machine gun, a team of three people, when shooting, is fine, that is, rushing to fight, or a long journey, this is too heavy, and the fighters are also very hard.
In fact, there is no way to use a broadsword in the swordmanship training of the Eighth Route Army, mainly because the weapons and equipment cannot keep up, the ammunition is lacking, the broadsword is obviously inferior compared with the bayonet, and the cold weapon is an inch long and an inch strong. At that time, it would be nice to have a folding red tassel gun.
Light machine gun training is more of an aiming exercise, and bullets are reluctant to hit.
Without arduous daily training, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in the later period would not be so strong, and it was necessary to master the essentials of shooting in peacetime, and destroy as many enemies as possible with the least ammunition possible.
The cadres of the Eighth Route Army are the same as ordinary soldiers, they do not engage in specialization, and they are all ordinary army padded jackets; in this regard, the officers and men of our Eighth Route Army are one, and party members and political commissars are in the front, taking the lead in forming a system and atmosphere.
This should be the weapons and coats of the captured devils, and the source of many weapons at that time was obtained from fighting devils and fighting puppet armies.
At that time, our Eighth Route Army rarely had cars, motorcycles, and horses, which were particularly important, and the cavalry was fast and elusive, but the cost of cavalry was very high, and raising horses also required a lot of food and materials.
Many of the senior generals of our Eighth Route Army can ride horses, but shooting on horses is by no means a simple skill, and it requires hard training.
The training ground is in the wilderness, on the edge of farmland.
The daily training is extremely hard, but most of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are from poor children, so this hardship and difficulty are nothing.
Political propaganda work is also very important, as well as daily cultural learning, at that time the illiteracy rate in the mainland was very high, and it was very important to quickly popularize cultural knowledge, fighting devils not only requires bravery, but also wisdom and brains, so as to reduce our casualties and destroy more enemies.
The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army made great contributions during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.
At that time, these weapons were baby bumps in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, and they were very cherished and cared for, and they relied on these weapons and equipment to fight devils, although there were various models and ammunition were lacking, but they were much better than big knives and spears and land mines.
Summary: The Eighth Route Army has grown from weak to strong, and it is inseparable from the correct leadership of the respected Chairman Mao, the ability of the generals to fight well, and the fearless revolutionary spirit of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice.
