Editing Division (military) (section)

==== National Revolutionary Army ====
The NRA Division ({{lang-zh|c=整編師, 編制師}}) was a military unit of the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]]. The original pattern of the infantry division organization of the early Republic was a [[square division]]. It was formed with two infantry brigades of two infantry regiments of three infantry battalions, an artillery regiment of fifty-four guns and eighteen machineguns, a cavalry regiment of twelve squadrons, an engineer battalion of four companies, a transport battalion of four companies, and other minor support units.<ref>Hsu Long-hsuen and Chang Ming-kai, History of The Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) 2nd Ed., 1971.

In the mid-1930s, the Nationalist government with the help of [[Sino-German cooperation (1911–1941)|German advisors]] attempted to modernize their army and intended to form sixty [[German-trained divisions in the National Revolutionary Army|Reorganized Divisions]] and a number of reserve divisions. Under the strains and losses of the early campaigns of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese decided in mid-1938 to standardize their Divisions as [[triangular division]]s as part of their effort to simplify the command structure and placed them under [[Corps]], which became the basic tactical units. The remaining scarce artillery and the other support formations were withdrawn from the Division and were held at Corps or Army level or even higher. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Republic mobilized at least 310 infantry divisions, 23 cavalry divisions, and one mechanized division (the [[200th Division]]).
