Hundred Regiments War is the largest and longest-lasting battle launched by the Eighth Route Army in North China during the stalemate in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

The Hundred Regiments War was divided into three stages. The first stage is from August 20th 1940 to September 1940, and the central task is to disrupt the traffic on Zheng Tai Road.

The second stage is from September 22nd 1940 to1early October 1940. The main task is to continue to destroy the traffic lines of the Japanese army and destroy the main strongholds of the Japanese army in the anti-Japanese base areas.

The original 12 regiments of the Eighth Route Army were full standard regiments. For example, the 769th Regiment of 129 Division has three battalions, each with four infantry companies and one machine gun company. The regimental headquarters also has staff offices, political offices, supply offices and health teams. Moreover, there are mortar companies, spy companies and communication platoon directly under the regiment, and the number of people in a regiment is about 3000.

1938, the first anti-Japanese base area of our army was established. Later, with the expansion of the base area and the need of struggle, by the winter of 1938, the Eighth Route Army had added nearly 80 regiments and more than 50 detachments and brigades equivalent to regiments.

However, these new regiments are not standard regiments and their weapons and equipment are very different. For example, 129, an independent regiment of the 385th Brigade, has only 1200 people, and its main weapons are broadswords and spears. A company has only a few dozen rifles. Because the new members come from all walks of life, their combat effectiveness is also poor. Therefore, in order to improve combat effectiveness, our army began to strengthen army building.

By 1939, 3 1 main regiments had been reorganized in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. Each regiment had three battalions and nine companies, and some even had four battalions, with a strength of about 2,000 to 3,000 people. Jinchaji Military Region1100000 people in 1940.

At that time, 1 15 division was also reorganized into 6 brigades, 3 second-level military regions, 12 military division, 23 regiments and detachments, etc. With a population of more than 70,000, it is equivalent to an army.
