关于八路军组编时的人数,有关史书记载不一,计有:“8万人左右”、“3.2万人”、“4.2万人”、“4.5万人”、“4.6万人”等之说. 究竟哪种提法准确呢?我认为4.5万人的提法较为合理,这是因为: 第一,将西北红军主力为改编成国民革命军三个师,上设总指挥部, Regarding the number of editors of the Eighth Route Army, there are many records about history books, including “about 80,000 people,” “32,000 people,” “42,000 people,” “45,000 people,” and “46,000 people.” I think the formulation of 45,000 people is more reasonable because: First, the main force of the Northwest Red Army is to be reorganized into three divisions of the National Revolutionary Army and a general headquarters is set up.
