  Eighth Route Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eighth Route Army (Simplified Chinese: 八路军; Traditional Chinese: 八路軍; pinyin: bālù-jūn) was a unit of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.
The Eighth Route Army was one of the main military forces of the Communist Party of China, active during the Chinese Civil War and the Second Sino-Japanese War.
However, before and during the Korean War, the Korean People's Army, which was the Communist army of North Korea, was formed mainly from Korean veterans of the Soviet Red Army and the 8th Route Army.

The Army nurses of the 4th Field Hospital, the 8055 MASH, the 171st and 121st Evacuation Hospitals, the 1st MASH and the 8063 MASH followed the troops as U.N. forces reclaimed ground lost during the enemy's push south to the Pusan Perimeter.
Because the nation and the Army Nurse Corps were simultaneously locked in the depths of a critical and dangerous nursing shortage, it is noteworthy that the small number of caregivers was capable of providing support for the enormous numbers of casualties generated.

 Autobiographical Notes on Mao Tse-tung
This army was organized with the sanction of the Hunan Provincial Committee, but the general program of the Hunan Committee and of our army was opposed by the Central Committee of the Party, which seemed, however, to have adopted a policy of wait-and-see rather than of active opposition.
In the army itself Chu Teh and I had to fight against two tendencies: first, a desire to advance on Changsha [the capital of Hunan] at once, which we considered adventurism; second, a desire to withdraw to the south of the Kwangtung border, which we regarded as 'retreatism' [capitulationism].
As early as Chingkangshan the Red Army had imposed three simple rules of discipline upon its fighters, and these were: prompt obedience to orders; no confiscations whatever from the poor peasantry; and prompt delivery directly to the government, for its disposal, of all goods confiscated from the landlords.
