Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Soldier

Chinese Communist soldiers fought Japan while maintaining a complex and often hostile relationship with the Nationalist government. The Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army combined local guerrilla operations with larger campaigns and expanding political organization. Weapons and uniforms varied greatly because supply often depended on capture, local manufacture, or uncertain external assistance. Their Second World War history differed from the later People’s Liberation Army’s standardized organization and from Nationalist forces operating under a different command structure. Political organization and local civilian support also shaped Communist military operations. The relationship between armed formations and surrounding communities formed an important part of their ability to sustain dispersed warfare.
