Technological Breakthroughs in the Production Practice of Hand Grenades in the North China Anti-Japanese Aggression Base Areas: Centered on the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan and Shanxi-Chahaer-Hebei Base Areas Abstract: During the Period of the War of Resistance Against Japan by the Whole Nation, hand grenades proved highly effective as weapons suitable for the mountain guerrilla warfare carried out by the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s armed forces of anti-Japanese aggression. Their large-scale use on the frontlines was inseparable from the support of a comprehensive hand grenade production system. Northern China, as the main battlefield for the CPC to lead the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, was also a region where the production and use of hand grenades were extremely common. Each base area in the region established a normalized hand grenade production system, with the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan and Shanxi-Chahaer-Hebei base areas being the most representative. As the anti-Japanese aggression base areas in Northern China focused on promoting the production of hand grenades, the technological breakthroughs made during the production process were issues worthy of investigation. They were not only a microcosm of the CPC’s efforts to overcome numerous difficulties and develop military industry during the War of Resistance Against Japan, but also a concrete manifestation of the combat effectiveness, organizational capabilities, mobilization abilities, and willpower of the CPC members during the revolutionary era. Key Words: War of Resistance Against Japan; Military industry; Hand grenades; Shanxi-Hebei-Henan base area; Shanxi-Chahaer-Hebei base areaIssue:Volume 47, lssue 6, June 2025Page: 1-9
