The highest level is the Legion. Next, it's time for the details.
In the history of the development of our army, columns are equated with infantry. A column, according to the principle of the three-three system, has three divisions (East China and Northeast China), and can also be three brigades.
If there were not enough troops, there were two divisions and a brigade under each column. There have also been cases where a column commanded four divisions. So under the large military region, there is also a corps, and there are three corps under one corps, and during the liberation war, each corps has a commander, and there are several corps below, and each corps has a corps.
In November 1948, the field unit was renamed the "Army". In land warfare and the War of Resistance Against Japan, the column is a special kind of army, and its rank varies from top to bottom. Some are corps, some are divisions, some are brigades, some are regiments.
The "Corps" is a unit established in wartime, that is, the first in China.
Under the first, second, third, fourth, and North China three fields, there are three to four divisions, each with three divisions, each with more than 33,000 people, and the group army, which was the earliest army in World War II, was composed of several divisions and brigades, and the most famous 18th Army was formed by three divisions, and at the beginning, there were a total of 45,000 people.
The front army is a first-level military organization with multiple group armies as units, directly subordinate to the headquarters or theater, with a unified combat organ, and a strategic combat corps with all branches of the armed forces as the main body. In World War II, the Soviet Union had a large number of troops, ranging from half a million to millions.
Among them, the front army is the highest-ranking and largest army in the army; Legions are basically at the same level as legions, and above the army, some legions are legions; The column is the lowest, and the smallest, which is basically equivalent to a legion.
From this point, it can be seen that the scale of these four structures is: "Front" "Division" "Division" "Division" and "Division".
