Route Army

Route Army

A Route Army (路軍), was a type of military organization during the Chinese Republic, and usually exercised command over two or more Corps or a large number of Divisions or Independent Brigades. It was a common formation in China prior to the Second Sino-Japanese War but was discarded as a formation type by the National Revolutionary Army after 1938, in favor of the Group Army.

Some of the more famous of the Route Armies were:
*8th Route Army Communist guerrilla force in North China.
*19th Route Army Defending Shanghai in 1932 during the January 28 Incident.
*29th Route Army Defending Hubei and Chahar in July 1937 in the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and Battle of Beiping-Tianjin.
