In fact, Japan's 4 regiments are still very strong in fighting capacity, because they are better at fighting and don't like to fight long live. This is the difference compared with other corps. This unit prefers tactical cooperation to European and American units and attaches great importance to firepower. Their commander is also very rational. If they can fight, fight a soft persimmon. If you can't fight, turn it off.
The important battle of Japan's 4th Division was the second Battle of Bataan Peninsula in April 1942. In this battle, the Japanese siege of the American fortress could not be defeated, and the 16 division lost more than half of its combat effectiveness, so the 4 th division was pushed to the battlefield.
After they went to the battlefield, they did not rush forward directly like other Japanese troops, but relied on fire reconnaissance to find the enemy's weakness, and then concentrated fire on his weakness. This is the correct operational method in modern warfare. If the charges are long live, then under the intensive firepower of Europeans and Americans, it is just a head lift. The Japanese army often holds the so-called 654.38 billion pieces of jade in the battles on the Pacific islands. In addition to causing certain casualties to Americans, they basically went back and became cannon fodder for war in vain. If you want to say that death is a gentleman's act, not a cowardly act, I have nothing to say.
Defeated Japanese army
Japan's 4th Division was good at using coordinated artillery tactics, and broke through the three lines of defense of the United States-Philippines Coalition forces at one fell swoop, which made the US military sit up and take notice. The combat effectiveness of the 4th Division in Osaka, Japan is obviously not weak. Why recruit black people?
To put it bluntly, the regional discrimination of the Japanese army is very serious, because Osaka people belong to Kansai people and the top leaders of the Japanese army are Kanto people. Because of the existence of regional discrimination, Kanto people think that their fighting capacity is the first in the world and that the fighting capacity of the Japanese army is the first.
In fact, they don't know, but the natural conditions in Kanto are not particularly good, especially in places like Hokkaido, where the natural environment is harsh and the people there are brave and ruthless. Such people are naturally more powerful on the battlefield.
Kanto people look down on Kansai people.
Kanto people look down on Kansai people. No matter how powerful it is, it is not as good as Kanto people. Therefore, the 4th Division became the object of exclusion. Once there is a defeat in World War I, as long as there is an Osaka division, he will become a beggar. In the eyes of the Japanese high-level, fighting with the brain has become synonymous with surrender. However, the fourth division didn't notice this. After the war, they laid down their weapons at 1 for the first time and took out their goods to sell in front of the US military camp.
I made a wave of money in an instant, but I became the first rich people. The brain of Osaka Branch is also related to their local culture. In ancient Japan. Japan is famous for its large area of land owned by local power groups. They rent the land to farmers and rent seeds. In this way, a personal attachment relationship is formed. A great name obeys the name of a general, and a general obeys only the nominal emperor. Japan has a strict hierarchy.
Heavily armed Japanese army
However, Osaka people are a special case. They are all businessmen. There is a group of people who are not attached to the name of Japan, but bargain with it, especially in taxation. So there is no concept of obedience. In World War II, although these Osaka soldiers also went to the battlefield, they still had brains compared with people in other places. They often dare to bargain about the tasks of their superiors. Don't chase short-sighted enemies,
In their eyes, any emperor is nonsense, and saving his life is the first 1 bit. Japan was defeated in World War II, and no one in Osaka No.4 Division felt any regret, so he still took the time to return to China to continue his business. Therefore, Osaka No.4 Division is not a bunch of losers, but a very shrewd businessman.
In fact, it is very rare to keep a cool head in the war that I am doomed to fail. The residents of Osaka fourth area did it. They had foresight, so they didn't suffer much in the war, and then they muddled through and continued to be their businessmen. Earned the money of American soldiers, I have to say that they are a group of very smart people. If the Japanese were as smart as Osaka people, there would be no war.
