KMT Central Forces sent to Shanxi in 1937-38?

[YC Chen]

I have read some memoir articles by former Shanxi(山西, not 陕西) soldiers and artillery officers that they saw artillery of KMT central forces sent by Nanjing government appear on Shanxi front in 1938. And a Japanese photo showing a captured Bofors 7.5cm mountain gun in Taiyuan(see here http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 3&start=45) confirmed their existence.

However, apart from some information on AA detachment armed with 2cm Breda Modello 35 which helped defend Taiyuan, I have not found any detailed information on these artillery(or maybe also infantry?) units which were sent to Shanxi to help in the fight against Japanese.

What are these units and what equipment did they bring there? Can anyone help?

This is all I have and it is very, very little. In fall of 1937 total Chinese force is twenty divisions--central and regional.
