Thanks for the info.
I got the dvd 'Sino Japanese war' and it talked a bit about the Northern Expedition - Chiang Kai Shek and only 100,000 men trained by Soviet advisors advanced through China from the Whampoa military academy in Canton defeating most of the major warlords. The Nationalists were far better trained, equipped and the Soviet advisors taught them flanking mounts etc which I found interesting
Although despite this military campaign was a success, this war was unfortently full of savagery with advancing Nationalists soldiers slaying surrendering warlord men + collobrators, not to mention the fact that Chaing turned against his Communsit allies and ordered Shanghai to be 'Cleansed' from Communist activity.
