    Some people say that the density of Japanese troops in North China is two Japanese troops per three square kilometers.  Therefore, the Eighth Route Army in North China suffered less pressure from attacks.  Not counting that this number does not include the hundreds of thousands of puppet troops, let's calculate it based on two Japanese troops in three square kilometers.  Everyone knows that the area occupied by the Japanese army in North China is gradually shrinking.  In other words, the troop density of two Japanese troops in three square kilometers could not contain the development of the Eighth Route Army, but instead put the Japanese army at a disadvantage.

    So what is the situation of the Kuomintang in Central China?

    [Reposted from Jagged Community bbs./]

    The main battle between the Japanese and Kuomintang troops in Central China is the 11th Army, which consists of 7 divisions and 3 mixed brigades with about 200,000 people. The 11th Army's defense area stretches from Yichang in the west to Ma'anshan in the east.  Measured along the Yangtze River from the map, it is more than 800 kilometers long from east to west. If the depth of the north and south of the Yangtze River is 100 kilometers each (the actual depth is much higher than this), then the 11th Army's defense area covers more than 200,000 square kilometers.  On average, there is less than one Jaap per square kilometer, which is not much different than the so-called three square kilometers of two Japs in North China. Moreover, the number of puppet troops is far less than the number in North China. This way, the Japanese army left a local garrison force.  There were just a lot of them, which weakened the Japanese's mobile strength.

    And it was this 11th Army. Ten of the 24 battles that the Kuomintang regarded as anti-Japanese capital were initiated by the 11th Army. Until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the 11th Army¡¯s defense area not only did not decrease but continued to expand.  Facing the 200,000 Japanese troops of the 11th Army, the Kuomintang's regular army numbered more than 1 million and was constantly losing troops and ground. Facing hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in North China (sometimes less than 200,000, sometimes more than 500,000) plus hundreds of thousands of puppet troops.  When the Eighth Route Army was small, it numbered tens of thousands, and when it was at its most, it had 400,000 regular troops, but it was constantly regaining lost ground. I would like to ask all the spectators who laugh at the Eighth Route Army for not resisting Japan, what do you think of this comparison of numbers?

    Attached are the 10 battles initiated by the 11th Army (those not led by the 11th Army but carried out in cooperation with other units are not counted)

    (Battle of Suizao, Battle of Zaoyi, First Battle of Changsha, Battle of Shanggao, Second Battle of Changsha, Third Battle of Changsha, Battle of Western Hubei, Battle of Changde, Battle of Changheng, Battle of Western Hunan)
