Collaborationist Chinese Army

Common card · No. 324449

The term Collaborationist Chinese Army refers to the military forces of the puppet governments founded by the Empire of Japan in mainland China during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. They include the armies of the Provisional (1937–1940), Reformed (1938–1940), and Wang Jingwei regime (1940–1945), which absorbed the former two regimes. Those forces were commonly known as puppet troops but went under different names during their history depending on the specific unit and allegiance, such as Nanjing Army. In total, it was estimated that all pro-Japanese collaborationist Chinese forces combined had a strength of around 683,000. After the Second Sino-Japanese War, a total of 1,462,685 Chinese collaborationist troops surrendered to Kuomintang forces along with 1,283,240 troops of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces.
