hoi's config of Communist China is no Historical
At the end of Long March, only some 20,000 out of about 90,000 soldiers (Chinese Red Army ) had started the march ultimately made it to the final destination of Yan'an in October,1935.
Long March soldier is the best warrior, some of them bacame the famous gerenal.

During the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), the Chinese Red Army was nominally integrated into the Chinese national army forming the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army units.

the 8th Route Army is Consisted of three divisions (the 115th, which was commanded by Lin Biao, the 120th, and the 129th)

At the beginning, the New Fourth Army had four detachments and one task force battalion and numbered roughly ten thousand.

In 1937 the Red Army joined in a second united front with the KMT against the invading Japanese army in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Red Army was nominally integrated into the Chinese national army forming the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army units. Although nominally cooperating with the KMT, the Chinese Communist Party used the Red Army to expand its influence while leading the anti-Japanese resistance in north China. By the end of the war, the Red Army numbered approximately 1 million and was backed by a militia of 2 million. Although the Red Army fought several conventional battles against the Japanese (and KMT troops), guerrilla operations were the primary mode of warfare.

By PRC document, until PRC come into existence , Communist China have very small industry ,only product bullet in weapon.
So Communist China army only arm himself with captured weapon first from KMT army and then from japanese army , The Collaborationist Chinese Army(commanded by japan). Communist China army destoryed enemy at least equal to the Communist China army increased in number. So Communist China army increase himself by destoy enemy ,not by product in factory.
otherwise, about guerrilla warfare, mao is the master of guerrilla warfare, because of his lead, japan army must garrison every town and road to control the guerrilla and protect supply , japan army was attracted those area , cann't combat in other country. guerrilla weak the strength and morale bit by bit, but for work this, china pay more people life with japan army retaliation.The famous policy is "Three Alls Policy" (kill all, loot all, burn all) to destory the survival entironment of guerrilla . And then guerrilla make resource product wastage ,destroy road.
So I give adivice that Communist China only have 3 division in 1935, and Communist China can use captured weapon make up of himself's army, guerrilla should weak the strength and organize like cold percent day or month with man decreased . Communist China can use several militia make up a regularity army. When the guerrilla reach 100% will became militia. I think that can explain Communist China have 1 million troops and was backed by a militia of 2 million at the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Maybe the other friend have different advice. Could you check the public document then conside my advice carefully . Thanks for everyone reading this post. Thank you.
*The Collaborationist Chinese Army (formed approximate 2,100,000, the only collaborationist army in World War II which outnumbered the invading army. Almost all of them belonged to the regional puppet governments such as Manchukuo and collaborationist political leaders such as Wang Jingwei. The collaborationists were mainly assigned to garrison and logistics duties in areas held by the puppet governments and in occupied territories. They were rarely fielded in combat because of low morale and distrust by the Japanese, and fared poorly in skirmishes against real Chinese forces, whether the KMT or the CCP
