	Hundred Regiments Offensive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hundred Regiments Offensive (Chinese: 百团大战) (August 20, 1940 - December 5, 1940) was a major campaign of the Communist Party of China's Red Army commanded by Peng Dehuai against the Imperial Japanese Army in Central China.
		In addition, there was a general sentiment among the anti-Japanese resistance forces, particularly in the Kuomintang, that the CCP was not contributing enough to the war effort, and that they were only interested in expanding their power base.
		Thus the Hundred Regiments Offensive became the last of the two major Communist frontal engagements against the Japanese the war.

		The Ardennes Offensive, popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge, was the last major German offensive on the Western Front in World War 2.
		They were to meet near Kursk, but if the offensive went well they were allowed to continue forward on their own initiative, with a general plan to create a new line on the Don River far to the east.
		The German delay in launching their offensive gave the Soviets four months in which to prepare, and with every passing day they turned the salient into one of the most heavily defended points on earth.

	About General Benjamin Jefferson Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		When he surrendered his twenty-six hundred man cavalry brigade on May 17, 1865 near Munford, Alabama, this individual, who had fought forty-two major battles and many minor skirmishes, became the last commander of a major unit to capitulate to Federal forces, thus ending the conflict in the states east of the Mississippi.
		After the fall of Fort Donelson early in 1862 his regiment was sent to Shiloh and participated in that bloody battle, occupying a perilous position in the left center of the Confederate field forces.
		In the hotly contested fight his gallant regiment passed through a furnace of fire, attested by the fact that three hundred brave men, killed or wounded, departed from its ranks.

		However, the Regiment was unfortunate, as it was sent to a theatre of operations where no actual fighting occurred and missed participation in the Frontier expeditions farther north, where so many troops were later engaged.
		While the Regiment was in Peshawar Subadar-Major Bhagwan Singh was selected as one of the four Indian orderlies to the King and spent the summer months of 1913 in England.
		The Regiment was fortunate in having an outstanding batch of officers who were an exceedingly happy family, but, sad to say, many were to lose their lives in 1915.

		The Belorussian offensive of 1944, the Iassy-Kishenev offensive of 1944, and the VistulaOder offensive of 1945 exemplified this new maturity.
		These regulations, descendants in their offensive form of the regulations of 1936, 1939, and 1941, were more detailed than their predecessors.

		I believe that five hundred new men added to an old and experienced regiment were more valuable than a thousand men in the form of a new regiment, for the former by association with good, experienced captains, lieutenants, and non-commissioned officers, soon became veterans, whereas the latter were generally unavailable for a year.
		Each regiment ought usually to have at least one wagon for convenience to distribute stores, and each company two pack-mules, so that the regiment may always be certain of a meal on reaching camp without waiting for the larger trains.
		I had several regiments of this kind that were most useful, but as a rule we used the infantry, or employed parties of freedmen, who worked on the trenches at night while the soldiers slept, and these in turn rested by day.

	Strategic Air Offensive
		Whilst MRAF Sir C Portal was charged with the "strategic direction" of both British and American bomber operations, matters of tactics and technique were left to the commanders concerned, ACM Sir A Harris and Lieut.Gen. Ira Eaker, with the result that the two forces tended to go their own different ways in respect of detail.
		Whilst the RAF mainly carried out area bombing and the USAAF precision attacks against small targets the bomber offensive against Germany was a combined one and the overall tonnage of bombs dropped, aircraft and crews lost, must be taken together in assessing the effect on Germany.
		Most veterans of the campaign undoubtedly consider that the Offensive brought forward Victory and the downfall of Nazism and that consequently the sacrifice was worthwhile.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 1999-2000
		The seeds of the 1975 communist offensive were planted during two high-level military conferences held in Hanoi in March and April 1974 to review the military situation.[2] These conferences concluded that PAVN had regained the initiative in the South for the first time since the 1972 Easter Offensive.
		One hundred thousand fresh PAVN troops had marched down the trail to the South during 1973, and another 80,000 were on their way south during the first half of 1974.
		The offensive plan for 1975 was divided into three phases and was to be followed in 1976 by a "general offensive and general uprising" to complete the "liberation" of the South.
