After Meiji Restoration, Japan established the First Division? Standing division? They were professional troops established in Japan at that time, and they tended to the world's leading level in all aspects, with advanced equipment. Every soldier's physical quality and professional accomplishment were the best in Japan. At first, there were only six A-type teachers in Japan. After Japan defeated the Qing army and Russian army and occupied Korea, its strength expanded to 20 people. However, after World War I, Japan reduced the number of A-type teachers from 20 to 17.
Although the number of division A has decreased, it has not affected their combat capability at all. On the contrary, due to the improvement of selection conditions, it has become more severe. During World War II, the soldiers of the First Division were screened at different levels, and the soldiers who wanted to enter this unit had to undergo high-intensity training for half a year, so their individual combat capability was the strongest among all Japanese troops. At the same time, in order to enable the A-level divisions to adapt to various environments, the emperor granted them many privileges, including priority in weapons and equipment, material supply and so on. This further improved their combat capability.
A division is not only strong in fighting capacity, but also strong in willpower. At the end of World War II, the Japanese First Division was ordered to go to the Philippines for reinforcements, and met with the US military on the way. At that time, the US military used more advanced equipment to force the First Division into a corner, but this Japanese army was not afraid at all. They called and retreated, asking? Permanent war of resistance? Slogan, don't surrender until you die, shows how strong the fighting will of Japanese first-class divisions is.
