The Sichuan army in the War of Resistance is not strictly speaking a regular force of the Chinese army, but a local warlord arm.

Neither the equipment nor the military quality of the troops, nor the treatment of the troops, can be compared with the *** Central Army.

But in the War of Resistance against Japan, this force used their fearless sacrifice to exchange the "Sichuan army can fight", "no Sichuan army" reputation.
