History will eventually pass away, but forgetting history means betrayal, and every Chinese should not forget, nor should we forget the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army during the war of aggression against China.
As many as 300,000 people were killed in the Nanjing Massacre, and the "three lights" policy of destroying humanity made the people everywhere the Japanese army went, as well as germ warfare, poison gas warfare, and so on. Although the history of these humiliations has become a thing of the past, future generations should bear in mind the lesson of this blood and strive to build a great, rich and strong motherland.
In order to remind future generations not to forget the smoke of war, every year the TV station will broadcast some anti-war movies or TV series, and regardless of whether some film and television dramas are untrue, one of the more common phenomena is that there is always a character of Daisa in the Japanese army.
In China, there is a saying that "a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier", and every Chinese soldier with blood and fighting spirit strives for the position of a general.
However, the Japanese army is different, the Japanese army would rather not be a major general, but also compete to become a big zo, why is this? What rank is the "Daisa" of the Japanese army equal to our army?
Rank of Daisa of the Japanese Army
The rank system is one of the important ways for a country's army to enter the regularization and specialization, Chinese People's Liberation Army has had the idea of implementing the rank system from the beginning of its establishment, once during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and then after the Chongqing negotiations, but these two times because of the changeable situation have not been implemented.
Until the founding of New China, in order to commend the soldiers who made outstanding contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and in order to make our army quickly enter regularization, after a series of plans, in 1955, China implemented the rank system for the first time in the whole army, and awarded the ranks of ten marshals and other ranks.
In our country, the military rank is an honor, but also a duty and mission, every person who has been awarded a military rank is through the comprehensive consideration of battle merit, ability, seniority, etc., whether it is the ten marshals or the ten generals, everyone's record can write a legendary personal biography.
In our country, if you want to obtain a high-level military rank, you rely on strength, taking the ten marshals as an example, they are all talented by their own ability, so in China, every soldier has the possibility of becoming a general.
The rank system of the Japanese army has also undergone several periods of change, and during World War II, Japan's military ranks were divided into four major ranks, namely general, adjutant, lieutenant, and quasi-non-commissioned officer.
The lowest level of the associate non-commissioned officer is the soldier, and there is no specific sub-rank, and the other three higher ranks are divided into three sub-levels, large, medium, and minor, and the big zo is the highest level of the adjutants. Compared with the ranks of our country, Japan's Ōsa is basically the same as the rank of colonel in japan.
Supposedly, Daisaku didn't even enter the sequence of the highest-ranking generals, so why did Japanese soldiers during World War II regard Daisa's goal? Don't they have a bigger pursuit?
Of course not, during World War II, the Japanese soldiers who swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor to the death were determined to invade China, and for the Japanese Emperor, they were also loyal and ambitious soldiers, and they did not want to be major generals or higher leaders because they were well aware of the basic reality.
Professional ceiling
In ancient Times, Japan was for a long time a military intervention in politics. From the Southern Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, Japan was under the rule of the shogunate, known as the Shogunate, which was once an institution with power over the emperor.
The Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate, and the Tokugawa shogunate lasted for more than 600 years, and even after Japan's rapid economic development after the Meiji Restoration, the emperor regained power, but the influence of the deep-rooted shogunate in the Japanese military can not be underestimated.
The shogunate, an institution that had controlled Japan's military and financial power for hundreds of years, could not willingly withdraw from the stage of Japanese history for a while, so they still occupied an important position in the military during World War II.
Those who can serve as generals in the Japanese military are not ordinary people, and regardless of their abilities, their personal backgrounds are absolutely unshakable.
Another reason is that there are two types of Japanese soldiers, one is called professional soldiers and the other is called non-professional soldiers. Professional soldiers are those who have received special military training and education, and they can only be qualified to be senior officers in Japanese military academies.
However, for ordinary people, they do not have the ability and opportunity to attend professional military academies, so for non-professional soldiers, no matter how strong their abilities are, their origin determines their ceiling.
The prince will have a kind of Xiangning? However, the Japanese soldiers did not make such a cry, they had been brainwashed by militarist ideas, and their personal ideals and ambitions were limited to the goal of Daisa.
In addition to the fact that it is difficult to realize the ideal of a general through personal struggle, the real power of the position of Daisaku is also absolutely tempting for ordinary Japanese soldiers.
The big zo of the real power faction
As mentioned above, during World War II, the japanese army's daisaku had similar positions as regimental cadres in our country, but the establishment of a regiment in our country was about 1,000 people, and the maximum number was not more than 2,000, but the number of companies led by a Japanese daisaku was as high as 4,000 to 5,000, and the number of troops actually commanded by Daisa was almost the same as that of a brigade commander in our country.
In addition to being a wing commander, Daisaku can also be a combat staff officer, and no matter which position he holds, he has the actual command of the troops.
Only the actual power in the hands, even the big one, is better than a person with the rank of major general but no actual military power.
Moreover, Japan's generals can be said to be basically hereditary, these people may not have real talent and practical learning, even if they go to the battlefield may not be as strong as the combat commander of Daisa, the Japanese rulers naturally know this truth, so although the position of Daisa is not as high as that of the general, it is still more important, especially in the front line of the war, relying on Daisa, which is why China's anti-Japanese TV dramas often have the character of "Daisa".
According to statistics, during the Japanese invasion of China, the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians killed a total of 83 Japanese soldiers, and each of them had the blood of the Chinese people on their hands.
At that time, the Japanese army in World War II, which was brainwashed by militaristic ideas, regarded "Daisa" as its goal of struggle, and the higher the rank in the army, the smaller the number, and "Daisa" was a rank with relatively large numbers and relatively large real power, which for ordinary people can be achieved through struggle.
However, in the long run, such an army promotion mechanism is also obviously flawed, killing the possibility of many soldiers.
brief summary:
In August 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered, but Japan's militarist ideology did not disappear, and it has been eager to move in recent years, as every Chinese citizen, we should remember what Japan did during the war of aggression against China, and we should not repeat the same mistakes.
During the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army did a lot of bloody and brutal massacres in order to compete for the position of Daisa, and the Japanese Daisaku was similar to the rank of colonel in china, but the real power of the Japanese Army's Daisaku made them prefer not to be a major general.
