Study on Kuomintang Guerrilla Areas in Henan,Hubei and Anhui during the Anti-Japanese War#br#

The Henan, Hubei and Anhui border area was one of guerrilla areas established by Kuomintang behind the enemy during the Anti-Japanese War. To consolidate the base areas behind the enemy lines, support the long war of resistance, the New Guangxi clique carried out construction of the guerrilla areas and made it a solid fortress behind the enemy. The Kuomintang formalized the guerrilla army by organizing and training it, and at the same time established the economic guerrilla army. In the course of the Anti-Japanese War, the guerrillas actively cooperated with the front battlefield and carried out sabotage and attacks against the enemy and puppet forces, making contributions to the victory of the war. Compared with guerrilla warfare organized by the Chinese Communist Party, the Kuomintang guerrilla warfare has limitations, which weakened the resistance of the guerrilla areas in central China.
