As we all know, soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers' dreams of the rank of Daisa during World War II at least prove one thing, that is, the rank of Daisa, the status is equivalent to the general in the saying.
In the context of chinese Chinese, what kind of existence does a general have?
General is generally a general term for senior military generals, and its specific references vary from dynasty to dynasty or country. In ancient China, he often held the position of senior military attaché, military and political official, or even a knighthood.
It can be seen from this that the word general is a very advanced reference. So why did the rank of Daisaku in the Japanese army achieve such a surprising attraction?
First of all, adjutant, which is a unique rank title of the Japanese army, in fact, adjutant is equivalent to a mid-level commander. During World War II, the Japanese army was managed with three grades and nine ranks. What is the third level and the ninth class? It is the third level of the general lieutenant.
The ninth class is: major general, lieutenant general, major general, big sa, naka sa, junior sa, lieutenant, lieutenant, second lieutenant. Here we will not talk about the lieutenant class in the Japanese army for the time being, because the lieutenant class in the Japanese army belongs to the ordinary Japanese soldiers who can encounter it every day, although there will be some ideas, but it is far from the dream of this point.
Let's first take a look at what is the situation in which the "Adjutant Joint Captain" often appears in film and television dramas?
In fact, a young commander has nearly 2,000 troops under his command, and if it is a major captain, it will be even more terrifying, and the number can even reach more than 4,000, which is almost equivalent to the strength of half a division of the Chinese nationalist army.
In the film and television drama, it is very likely that a fully loaded Japanese army infantry company will chase after an independent regiment of nationalist troops, and if there is a division of nationalist troops, it is barely possible to fight a position war with the Japanese army.
Compared with the armies of most countries in the world, Daisa is actually equivalent to the regimental combat units of other countries' armies, and when placed in the Chinese army structure at that time, it is similar to a brigade or even a division.
Speaking of this, it is necessary to talk about the "division" of this army formation, during World War II, the main force of Japan's combat troops are called xxx divisions, these divisions and regiments are also divided into A and B, the general four or four standing divisions of the same kind of combat organization is as follows: the division commander is generally the rank of lieutenant general, and a fully loaded division has about 20,000 people.
A division consists of: 2 infantry brigades (brigade level), 1 engineer company (regimental level), 1 cavalry company (regimental level), 1 artillery company (regimental level), 1 heavy regiment (regimental level), 1 divisional communication team, 1 division health brigade, 1 division service team, 1 division field hospital.
Among them, the infantry squadron leader of the (regimental level) company is generally the rank of Daisa; the commander of the artillery, cavalry, and heavy regiment is generally the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (lieutenant colonel).
After looking at the tall ranks, let's take a look at the basic Japanese army, or the grass-roots level of the Japanese army, the combat detachment of the Japanese army during World War II is similar to the class structure in the national army at that time. The chief officer and the cobia (non-commissioned officer) served as the chief officer.
Cobia, like adjutants, is a unique phenomenon of the Japanese army during World War II, such as quasi-non-commissioned officers, cao chiefs, cobias, and wu chiefs; it is worth mentioning that Chiang Kai-shek encountered cobias in Japan in that year.
Turning to Chiang Kai-shek's memoirs about this period, we can see to what extent he was oppressed by Cao Changjun as a low-class soldier at that time: he was asked to pour a spittoon in the morning, and he was usually asked to wash his horses, so harsh that he could be said to not treat him as a person at all.
And a cobia like this can have five hundred to seven hundred, you say, even a cobia can make ordinary soldiers be summoned like dogs, how can ordinary soldiers not dream of Daisa?
