Why does the hat of the Eighth Route Army have two buttons and the hat of the Red Army has a red star?
Basic information:

In the early days, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army all wore "clear sky and white day" hat badges. When the hat badges (the original red five-star cloth hat badges of the Red Army) were replaced in 1937, because they wore the former "enemy" logo, the soldiers of both armies resisted or even fled the troops. The cap badge is provided by Nanjing (Chongqing) according to the cooperation agreement between China and Chongqing. From 65438 to 0940, due to the Southern Anhui Incident, the whole army of the New Fourth Army was furious, and the remaining and rebuilt New Fourth Army basically stopped using this cap badge.

In contrast, the Eighth Route Army was unable to obtain the clear-sky white enamel hat badge that could only be provided by the industrial departments in the Kuomintang-controlled area because of its large expansion after 1940, far exceeding the agreed scale of the three divisions and the ups and downs of cooperation between countries. More and more officers and men only have two German-style mountain hat buttons, but there is no blue sky and white hat badge. This is not caused by "replacing the badge with the buckle" or by political reasons. In fact, after 1940, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were quite free to wear caps, without any regulations or suggestions, and were not included in the evaluation of the class soldiers' discipline. Some soldiers wore hat badges until 1948 was broken.
