Army groups of the National Revolutionary Army

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 formed and only during the Battle of Wuhan.

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 of China were in existence.
