The Hundred Regiments Offensive (Chinese: 百團大戰) (20 August – 5 December 1940) was a major campaign of the Communist Party of China's National Revolutionary Army divisions commanded by Peng Dehuai against the Imperial Japanese Army in Central China. The battle had long been the focus of propaganda in history of Chinese Communist Party but had become Peng Dehuai's "crime" in Cultural Revolution. Certain issues regarding its launching and consequences still have controversy.
