Does anyone know what the following chinese terms mean in English?

Sheng Baoan Zongdui
Sheng Jingcai Zongdui
Sheng Minfang Zongdui

They are names of militia units in HoI's unitnames.
I think 'sheng' means 'military' & 'zongdui' can be rendered 'corps', but that's all I can determine.
 
I Googled it and it made me laugh as this post was the first thing that came up. I'd agree with you about Sheng and Zongdui. If I had to guess Baoan, Jingcai, and Minfang are areas/regions that the units are from.
 
Hey well, thanks for trying.

Using some online translation, I think "baoan" is "security" so "Sheng Baoan Zongdui" would be "Military Security Corps" (or perhaps "Security Corps" makes more sense).

I wonder whether "Jingcai" is misspelt and should be "jingcha" = "police".

"Minfang" - still no idea.
