Would "reinforced and partially motorized" 200th Infantry Division be more accurate?

Re: Chinese 200th Division: descriptions of actions needed!
The 200th division in different periods is essentially different.At the beginning of its establishment, the 200th division was indeed organized according to the standard of the armored division.The 200th Division, established on January 1, 1938, has two tank regiments, a mechanized infantry regiment, an anti-tank artillery regiment, an armored search battalion, and an infantry artillery battalion.Among them, the 1149 and 1150 regiments belong to the tank regiment. One regiment has three tank battalions, and each battalion has four companies. Three are tank companies and one is motorized supply company.Each tank company has 12 tanks.The 1152 regiment is a mechanized infantry regiment, which has four battalions. The three battalions are infantry battalions with four companies under their jurisdiction. Each battalion has three infantry companies and one machine-gun company. Each company has about 40 trucks.daveshoup2MD wrote: ↑04 Jan 2022 09:52Would "reinforced and partially motorized" 200th Infantry Division be more accurate?

The picture shows the tank formation of the 1st company of the 1st battalion of the 1149th Regiment.
However, from November 1, 1938 to January 1939, the 200th Division was assigned to the newly established 11th Army (renamed as the 5th Army on February 18, 1939). During this period, the 200th Division and other subordinate division units handed over their mechanized units. These mechanized units became troops directly under the military headquarters. So far, the 200th division has become an infantry division with certain mobility.

I found something on the China Daily, it is about Dai Anlan, a Lieutenant-General and commander of the renowned 200th Division, fought in the Battle of Toungoo. Check the website here:
