41st Group Army
The 41st Group Army traces its lineage back to the 1940s and the Chia-Tung Military District. In October 1945 it was reorganized and redesignated as the 5th Independent Brigade. Around June 1945 the unit was again reorganized but was redesignated as the 4th Column of the Fourth Field Army, commanded by Wu K'o-hua. In February 1949 the unit was reorganized and was redesignated as the 41st Corps. Its organic units were the 121st, 122nd and 123rd Divisions.
Beginning in mid-September thru October 1949 as part of the 12th Army, the 41st Corps along with the four other corps level units pushed into Shaoyang after defeating the KMT 7th Corps.
During the Korean War the unit remained in Kwangtung providing coastal defense.
