  Besides the eight German trained Reorganized Divisions were 12 other Reorganized Divisions with Chinese arms on the reorganized model with two German advisors:
  
  2nd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 25th, 27th, 57th, 67th, 80th, 83rd, 89th Division
  
  These were to be trained by large teams of German advisors like the earlier eight divisions but the start of the war with Japan precluded that.
