The Osaka Division is a Grade A division and is one of the first 17 standing divisions in Japan. Since it is a class A legion, it should be a fighter in the legion, it belongs to the "elite", and the weapons and equipment are first-class, so why is it so funny?
Mention the Japanese army everyone thinks that they are first-class equipment, strict discipline, faith loyalty, combat effectiveness, in order to be loyal to the emperor at any time can kill themselves by caesarean section, but the Osaka division let you see different Japanese soldiers, osaka division regiment is also known as the fourth division regiment, known as the "nest bag waste division regiment", it is said that it is very strange, the war often slips the head, but also especially will take the opportunity to do business, everything can be clearly marked, the integrity is still very good, can do tong shu no deception.
As soon as the Osaka Division arrived at the battlefield, they began to do business, they did not fight hard, but sold supplies everywhere, regardless of whether the other side was a hostile army or an ordinary businessman, as long as you gave money, everything could be sold to you. Even the Emperor of Japan, as long as you make a reasonable offer, they dare to sell it to you.
Why is the Osaka Division a virtue? The reason is that this division is very special, composed of a group of local businessmen, and Osaka is a very prosperous business district, the locals are cunning and changeable, speculative. Such a group of city servants and traders, the idea is more than the abacus, they never obey the imperial power, for them the emperor's orders are bullshit, loyalty is worthless, they often evade harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, feel that nothing is easy to use in vain. Let them go to war and die? , wait for you!
At the time of the Nomenkan incident, the Second Division was almost gone, the Fourth Division was still on the road "rushing to the aid of the stars", many people were left behind, some people were hospitalized on leave, and when they arrived, the two sides had already finished the truce, and the Japanese of the Fourth Division were happy and broken, but they still shouted that they were going to fight with the Soviet Union, and they were very angry, but there was nothing they could do about them, and the Japanese headquarters also had no idea about the Fourth Division, and could only let them go.
It is said that the Fourth Division had three principles of non-do-it -- "do not pay for useless sacrifices, do not participate in unreasonable battles, and do not pursue the enemy troops in poor ways."
But if you think that the Osaka Division can't fight, then you are wrong, the Philippines is what they fought, and during the Malay Campaign, the Osaka Fourth Division was sent to repair the bridge, and surprisingly, they seemed to be faster than the British to blow up the bridge, so that the other divisions were surprised that their jaws fell.
Over time, the Japanese top brass also turned a blind eye to the Osaka Division, while many large Families and Consortiums in Japan stuffed their children into the Fourth Division, so as to ensure that their lives were safe and secure.
Later, the Osaka Division swung to Southeast Asia, killing dozens of people, and the rest became rich and rich. They fought wars and did business, looted and made a fortune while selling military supplies. All the other divisions and regiments were malnourished, and it was better to live than to die, only the Osaka Group was full of red light, full of vigor, and full of money.
In any case, the Osaka Division was the unit with the fewest casualties and the most complete equipment and materials in the Japanese Southern Army. They did not go to war, but like going to travel the world while doing business, and when they were about to return home, they heard that there was a shortage of food in Japan, and everyone was hungry and blue-faced, dizzy, so they wholesaled a lot of rice from Thailand, returned to China and made a windfall, and eventually all of them became rich merchants.
Moreover, after World War II, the Osaka Clique's "peace-loving" was widely praised by all walks of life, and later the Japanese police also came from this regiment.
