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.

“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
“Disney World has acquired by now something of the air of a national shrine. American parents who don’t take their children there sense obscurely that they have failed in some fundamental way, like Muslims who never made it to Mecca.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
