Core Viewpoint - The article commemorates the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, highlighting the pivotal role of the Chinese Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army in the struggle against Japanese forces [2][17]. Group 1 - In 1940, during a strategic stalemate in the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese military intensified its "cage policy" against the anti-Japanese bases, prompting the Eighth Route Army to launch the Hundred Regiments Offensive [3][17]. - The Zheng-Tai Railway, a crucial transportation route connecting Pinghan and Tongpu railways, became a key target for the Eighth Route Army's operations [4][15]. - The offensive received enthusiastic responses from the anti-Japanese military and civilians along the railway, who actively participated in the combat preparations [4][12]. Group 2 - The Japanese relied on the railway for troop and supply transport, making the Zheng-Tai Railway their "lifeline" [5]. - After completing combat missions, soldiers collaborated with local militias and civilians to dismantle railway tracks, which could be repurposed for steel production to create weapons [12][14]. - The extensive destruction of the Zheng-Tai Railway, including tracks, bridges, tunnels, and stations, effectively paralyzed this critical supply line for the Japanese forces [15].
