War,we can explore the key basis of the formation of the Anti Japanese army in Shandong and the reconstruction of the people’s Liberation Army in Shandong.Second,the historical stage of the development of the people’s Self Defense Corps in Shandong Anti Japanese base area.The development of the people’s Self Defense Corps can be divided into three stages.The first period began with the outbreak of the July 7th incident in July 1937 and ended with the promulgation of the regulations of the people’s Self Defense Corps in December 1940.During this period,the party mainly launched the self-defense corps and initially integrated the self-defense corps,which was the initial stage of the self-defense Corps.The second period began with the promulgation of the regulations of the people’s Self Defense Corps and ended in August1942 when the Shandong column of the Eighth Route Army was changed to the Shandong military region,which uniformly commanded the local armed forces and people’s armed forces in Shandong.During this period,the Party led the people’s Self Defense Corps to initially form normalization,institutionalization and systematization,and concentrated the elite of the people’s Self Defense Corps to form militias.It is a period of rapid development and normalization for the people’s Self Defense Corps.The third period began in August 1942 and ended in the victory of the Anti Japanese war in September 1945.It is a period for the party to lead the people’s Self Defense Corps to achieve all-round development.During this period,the system of the people’s Self Defense Corps was improved through militia training,the number of personnel increased rapidly,and the combat capability was greatly improved.Through the division of the historical stages of the

people’s Anti Japanese armed committee system.After realizing the unified leadership of the party,the people’s Self Defense Corps has become the core of the people’s armed forces and formed a trinity combat system with the regular army and local forces.The changes in the establishment and leadership system of the people’s Self Defense Corps,the expansion of the scale of the people’s Self Defense Corps and the refinement of its functions have been constantly adjusted to give full play to the strength of the masses in the war of resistance against Japan.In fact,the change of the establishment and leadership system is essentially the process of the party’s overall leadership over the people’s Self Defense Corps.Fourth,the historical contribution of the people’s Self Defense Corps in Shandong Anti Japanese base area.The people’s Self Defense Corps played an important role in the consolidation and expansion of Shandong Anti Japanese base areas and made important contributions to
