The headquarters of the Nanjing Army is in Beiping.
The Nanjing Army has the honorary title "Dragon Soul Army" and is also known as the "North China Army". However, it should be noted that the Nanjing Army is not equal to the North China Army. The Nanjing Army is the main body of the North China Army. In addition to the Nanjing Army, the North China Army There are also some other troops (mainly local troops such as the old Northeast Army).
The establishment of all divisions of the Nanjing Army is the "three brigades and nine regiments system", which is very powerful. A division of the Nanjing Army is a little larger in scale than a Type A division of the Japanese Army (a Type A division of the Japanese Army has about 2.5 to 2.8 troops, and a division of the Nanjing Army has about 3.3 to 3.5 troops).
According to the type of weapons and equipment, the 27 divisions of the Nanjing Army are roughly divided into three categories: "German Armor", "Medium Armor" and "Japanese Armor". German Armor is a division that basically uses German weapons such as 98k rifles ( China's military industry is capable of producing German-style weapons at this time), the Zhongji division is a division that basically uses Chinese-made weapons such as official rifles, and the Japanese division is a division that basically uses Japanese-style weapons such as [-]-style rifles (these Some of the Japanese weapons were captured on the battlefield, and more were transferred from Japan to China after the alliance treaty was signed).

Each regiment of the first-line troops of the Nanjing Army has an artillery battalion, a special forces company, and a sniper company.
In terms of mechanized equipment, the order of rank is: tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and pack animals. The mechanization level of troops is as follows: armored regiments, armored infantry regiments, mechanized infantry regiments, and motorized infantry regiments.
The headquarters of the Nanjing Army is located in Beiping. In fact, the Nanjing Army does not have a real headquarters, because the Nanjing Army is not a real independent military group, so the Nanjing Army Headquarters is actually the "Peking Parallel Battalion" established in Beiping, the headquarters of the Military Commission. Yang Jie, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army.

[The 201st to 210th divisions are all German mechanic divisions. They are currently under construction, and the specific establishment is omitted.]
[Honorary 1st Regiment] (Stationed in the southern part of the Japanese Sakhalin Island)
The regiment has jurisdiction over: the Army's 1st Infantry Battalion, the Navy's 1st Marine Battalion, and the Air Force's 1st Paratrooper Battalion.
After the Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice, the national army's army, navy and air force all carried out a comprehensive reorganization. Among them, the army's divisions and brigades were reorganized into third-class and second-class respectively:
甲等师：1个师下辖2个旅，1个旅下辖2个团，全师约1.4万人；
Second-class division: 1 division has 4 regiments under its jurisdiction, with about 1.3 people in the division;
C-class division: 1 division has 3 regiments under its jurisdiction, with about 1 people in the division;
First-class brigade: 1 brigade has 3 regiments under its jurisdiction, with about 9000 people in the whole brigade;
Class B brigade: 1 brigade has 2 regiments under its jurisdiction, with about 6000 people in the whole brigade;
A-class divisions are "divided into two divisions that carry out two combat tasks at the same time." Although B-class divisions are very similar to A-class divisions, their combat functions are different from those of A-class divisions. They are equivalent to strengthened C-class divisions. A division performs a single combat mission; although the A-level brigade is very similar to the C-level division, it has fewer troops directly under the C-level division, and the C-level division is equivalent to a strengthened A-level brigade; the brigade under the A-level division is the B-level brigade .
The 18 divisions of the Guangxi Army after the rectification are all C-class divisions. In addition, the divisions of the Nanjing Army do not belong to the above third-class divisions.
After a major reorganization, there are a total of 210 "divisions" of the regular army of the national army, and 30 separate "brigades". The total strength of the regular army is about 380 million. The strength is about 150 million.
In terms of cavalry, due to the low level of mechanization of the Chinese army, the mobility of the army is not high, and the purchase, manufacture, and production of tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles are difficult to meet the needs of the army. The demand for pack animals such as war horses is still very large (bicycles are also being produced on a large scale to make up for it). Cavalry is indeed outdated on the western battlefield, but it is still very useful in the eastern battlefield, and war horses also have many advantages over tanks. Therefore, the national army attaches great importance to cavalry (most divisions of the Nanjing Army have cavalry brigades or cavalry regiments). Most of the reorganized "brigades" are cavalry brigades; to carry out a frontal assault on the enemy alone), so no cavalry divisions and cavalry corps were established.
In terms of artillery, since the military industry of the national army has been able to manufacture artillery at this time (mainly concentrated resources to manufacture small and medium-caliber artillery, large-caliber heavy artillery is mainly purchased from Germany and aided by Germany), plus purchases from Germany and aid from Germany, so the national army The artillery strength of the army has been greatly improved compared with that before the Sino-Japanese War. Therefore, after the major reorganization, 5 heavy artillery regiments and 15 artillery regiments were established, namely the 1st to 5th heavy artillery regiments and the 1st to 15th artillery regiments. Own all 5 heavy artillery regiments and 10 of the artillery regiments.
The artillery of the heavy artillery regiment is mainly 150mm and 120mm caliber, and the artillery of the artillery regiment is mainly 105mm and 75mm caliber; Artillery types of artillery battalions of brigades.
It is worth mentioning that there is a famous [-] gun in German artillery, which can be used to fight both aircraft and tanks. Therefore, the army and air force of the national army have this kind of artillery. borrow from each other.
The national army was organized into 33 group armies and 100 armies.
The Nine Military Regions (Theatres) of the National Army:
