The New First Army
The New 38th Division commanded by General Sun and the 22nd Division
commanded by General Liao withdrew to India from Burma in the first phase
of the war. With fresh recruit added to these divisions, they were
trained in Ramgarh, India.
Following the training with supplies provided by the United States of
America under the command of General Stilwell, the two Divisions were
combined as the New First Army, first commanded by General Chieu
Ching-chun for a very short time, and then replaced by General Cheng
Tung-Kuo. General Sun Li-Jen served as the Deputy Commander, but he was
the actual leader. As soon as the Burma Recapture mission started,
General Sun became the Commander.
