The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Over the years, anti-Japanese dramas have frequently appeared in front of the public's eyes, and there are many fictional plots that disregard historical facts. How could a Chinese independent regiment defeat a Japanese division on its own? As we all know, sometimes after repeating a lie a thousand times, it will become some so-called correct truth, and sometimes, there are more false rumors, but people are more and more away from the original face of things.
In fact, it is completely different from the TV series that whether it is the Kuomintang Central Army or the Miscellaneous Army, in most cases, it is impossible for several regiments or even several divisions to independently oppose any Japanese army division. Whether it is the Kuomintang Central Army or the ordinary miscellaneous army, in the final analysis, the massacre of the four sides in the TV series is because of the needs of the plot and cannot be taken seriously, and because we in China suffered heavy losses during the War of Resistance, many viewers welcomed the plot of the Japanese army being beaten.
In real history, After the Battle of Xuzhou, Boss Jiang, the president of the Kuomintang, once admitted bitterly and unwillingly that "the ten divisions transferred by our government could not defeat the little devil, his division regiment, Niang Xipi." There was also a very humiliating admission from the kuomintang top brass at the summary meeting after the Battle of Nanning:
"In the Battle of Nanning, the strength of more than twenty of our divisions was defeated and defeated by one and a half divisions of the enemy."
As for the Communist army at that time, of course, it was impossible to do so, as evidenced by the following - General Chen Cheng "In the time of movement war, our soldiers, want a complete division to barely deal with a company of the enemy." ”
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng were both masters of the moment, and what they said was conclusive: A division is far from being an opponent of a company under the Japanese army's first division, and the combat units such as separate divisions and brigades do not want to think about it, then if a large number of troops are sent, what about joint operations -- the Xinkou Campaign , which fully meets this requirement: The State Government has mobilized its blood, made a big transfer of troops, and reorganized 11 armies in one go, according to the normal organization of the Nationalist Army, which was converted to 25 divisions, while the Japanese army's combat strength was 1 division and regiment, and the result was that the Nationalist army collapsed and was defeated.
It is really surprising that the Japanese army division has such strength, right? Please don't be surprised, it's not over, I want to give you a more surprising case - let's think that the following case is the ceiling of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army division!
The Nationalist army made a large number of troops, and in one breath, 2 group armies came over, and the Japanese army participated in the battle with a total of 1 division and 2 brigades. The process was very tragic, and I will not repeat it here, but the result is a little bit about the defeat of the eastern section of Pingsui Road.
After reading the above analysis of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese divisions and regiments, let's carefully study how the Japanese divisions and regiments are going, and let's first look at the "divisions" as the Japanese army organization.
During World War II, under normal circumstances, the main force of Japan's combat troops is called xxx division, these divisions and regiments also have a kind of A and B, A standing division is four or four systems, division commanders are generally the rank of lieutenant general, some people may think that this is just the rank of lieutenant general, nothing remarkable, but please think about such a question, if it is really not a big deal, why can a division and regiment be so exaggerated in combat effectiveness?
Due to the excessive number of ranks within the Kuomintang, some people may have no concept of the rank of lieutenant general of the division commander, the Burmese Front during World War II had a strength of up to 300,000 people, and the commander was a lieutenant general, while the executioners of Okamura Ninji, Yuanbu Kazuichiro, Anan Yuji, Tsukada Attack, and Yokoyama Yong, who were Chinese at the time, were all lieutenant generals at that time.
The above can probably explain what kind of level the division commander is in the Japanese army.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
