List Of Army Groups Of The National Revolutionary Army
The Army Group (集團軍) (sometimes also referred to as Group Army) was the largest conventional mobile formation in the organization of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The first Army Groups were established immediately after the Japanese attack at Marco Polo Bridge on 7 July 1937, and new Army Groups continued to be formed throughout the war.
During the war, the only military formations larger than the Army Group were the Military Regions, which were defined by geographical boundaries, and the Army Corps, of which only four were only formed and only during the Battle of Wuhan. In effect, the Army Group was the largest fighting unit of the National Revolutionary Army, and usually exercised command over two or more armies or several corps, and assorted lesser units. They were roughly equivalent in size to an Army in British or American military terminology. By the end of the war with Japan, 40 Army Groups were in existence. The civil war saw three additional Army Groups being formed, even as they were gradually being replaced by newly-formed Army Corps, by then a largely analogous formation. The following list provides an overview of the Army Groups in the National Revolutionary Army, including their organization, commanders, and important battles.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“To make an Army work you have to have every man in it fitted into a fear ladder.... The Army functions best when you’re frightened of the man above you, and contemptuous of your subordinates.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Under weak government, in a wide, thinly populated country, in the struggle against the raw natural environment and with the free play of economic forces, unified social groups become the transmitters of culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
