The local corps is an armed force between the main corps and the mass armed forces. In the war, it can not only cooperate with the main corps to undertake more important combat tasks, but also play an important role in defending the red regime in the base area and mobilizing the people to participate in the war. The main corps and local corps have the same operational objectives, and their respective operational tasks are focused. The close combination of the two can play an important role in the war.
The combination of regular troops and mass armed forces means the combination of regular troops and irregular troops. Mass armed forces are people's armed forces that are not divorced from production. On the one hand, it becomes base politics. The main body of economic and cultural construction has become an important force to persist in the war of resistance for a long time; On the other hand, it is the basic force in the people's war.

The combination of armed masses and unarmed masses is a combination of fighting forces in a wider range, which shows the extensiveness and mass of the people's war and is also the source of its great power. The main corps, local corps and militia guerrilla organizations can all be regarded as the organizational forms of armed masses, while unarmed masses refer to people who care about and support the people's war without carrying guns. They are usually organized in trade unions and peasant associations. People's organizations from all walks of life, such as YMCA, women's clubs and children's groups, directly or indirectly participated in the war under the slogan of "fully supporting the front line, all for victory", forming a magnificent picture of a vigorous national war.
The basic sign of the transformation of enemy forces is the development and transformation of military forces, which always plays a decisive role in the victory or defeat of wars. The people's war initiated the form of army building with the establishment of mass armed forces as the beginning, and with the development of the war, mass armed forces gradually rose to the regular army. The people's army established in this way is firmly rooted among the people and maintains flesh-and-blood ties with the people, so that its activities have always been supported and covered by the people, thus generating an increasingly powerful vitality and inexhaustible source of strength. The people's armed system formed by the combination of the people's army and the mass armed forces is an effective organizational form to maximize the potential of the people's war in the shortest time. The continuous development of the people's armed forces has directly changed the contrast between the enemy and our military forces in the war. At the same time, the close cooperation between the people's armed struggle and unarmed struggle has formed a huge war resultant force, fundamentally changing the contrast between the enemy and ourselves.
Various forms of struggle other than armed struggle are extremely extensive. It includes all kinds of political, economic, cultural and ideological struggles of the people in the liberated areas, as well as all kinds of struggles of the people in the enemy-occupied areas.
