.On August 11, 1929, on the sea near the Songgu Strait in the northern Sea of ​​Japan, the main German fleet, who united and united, met the Japanese Fleet, which was fighting against the water. There was no suspense in the end of the naval battle. The Japanese fleet only made the German fleet enter the Songgu Strait half a day later. At this time, the landing library - Piaotianyi - a nation with long history and cultural traditions. This is a country with vast land and rich resources. This is the birthplace and dissemination of Confucian culture. The people here love peace and gentleness. However, after entering modern society, this country not only did not get respect from other countries because of its elegance, but was ruthlessly invaded again and again. Two Opium Wars, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, what China lost was not only a large amount of wealth and resources, but also the most precious - dignity.

In most parts of China, August usually means dizzyingly blazing sunshine and unbearable dryness. In August 1929, this heat from nature was as always. As the Nanjing government announced the start of large-scale military preparations, the heat in people's hearts surpassed nature because of patriotism and revenge.

Due to the defeat of the Japanese Navy and the increase in German military aid, the main ports along the eastern and southern coasts of China showed unprecedented prosperity, and a large number of sources of military resources were continuously transported into China. Under the strict supervision of the central government, officials at all levels also showed rare efficiency. The equipment transported from Germany was quickly distributed to the army that was carrying out the assembly points. The days that the officers and soldiers had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

Eighty-four armies had about 300 divisions, with a total strength of 2.2 million, including not a considerable number of local security forces. This is the National Revolutionary Army before the large-scale reorganization. Although this army was huge in number, the quality of officers and soldiers was uneven. Many of them were surrendered and incorporated, and the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the troops were not optimistic. According to the military arrangement plan and the suggestions of the German military adviser, the Nanjing government unified the National Revolutionary Army. The original 300 army divisions would be combined into 140 infantry divisions, six armored divisions and some local garrison troops. Although the number of division-level units was greatly reduced, the strength and firepower of a single infantry division were greatly improved. From the previous division, the history of only a few thousand soldiers and several mountain artillery pieces of the previous division will never return, and the total number of government troops will remain at around 1.75 million. This will be the country with the largest number of permanent troops in the world except Germany.
