the Hundred Regiments Campaign was a tactical campaign initiated by the Eighth Route Army, led by the Chinese Communist Party, against the Japanese invasion in North China from 20 August 1940, to 24 January 1941. The operation was named in recognition of the involvement of 105 regiments and represented the most extensive and protracted offensive by the Eighth Route Army in Japanese-occupied territory since the onset of the countrywide War of Resistance. The campaign aimed at undermining the Shijiazhuang–Taiyuan railway, a significant line under Japanese dominion, and spanned several crucial transportation corridors in North China, occurring in three distinct periods.

I noticed no one wanted to cover this on Youtube and I can see why.
BUT its so interesting, I thought why not.
Theres not a lot of info so I tried the best I can while making an entertaining video that ties a little bit with Italian East African Theater of World War II.
While researching, it was a surprise that the Germans took part in all of these bigger battles.
Sorry about the bad mic, I did not realize I was recording with a webcam mic
ADDENDUM: It may not be completely accurate, but I don’t see any PROFESSIONAL historians covering this topic on this platform in the most ENTERTAINING way possible, but I mostly made this to start the conversation and spark interest in these topics so that it may be accurately portrayed in pop history media.
