Northeastern Volunteer Righteous and Brave Fighters is a general term for the anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Volunteer Army, the National Salvation Army, and the Self-Defense Force, which were formed by civilians, police, and some officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army in Northeast China after the Mukden incident.
Among them, the anti-Japanese armed forces formed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were also included.
The Volunteers had dealt a heavy blow to the Kwantung Army, but it also suffered huge losses.
Some retreated into the Inner China, and some formed the Northeastern People's Revolutionary Army with the anti-Japanese guerrillas led by the CCP, becoming the predecessor of the Northeast Counter-Japanese United Army.
