    Japan's Type A divisions at this time still had a two-brigade structure. They were incorporated into the Japanese brigades of the first six infantry groups of the Allied Forces Central Front. Each brigade had 2 infantry regiments, and the infantry regiment had 3 infantry regiments.  An infantry brigade, the brigade has 4 infantry squadrons, 1 machine gun squadron (eight Browning 7.62mm air-cooled heavy machine guns), a brigade artillery squad (eight 81mm caliber battalion mortars), the infantry squadron has  An infantry squad consists of a machine gun group (two Browning 7.62mm squad light machine guns), a mortar group (two 60mm platoon mortars) and two rifle groups.

    In addition, each infantry regiment also has a mountain artillery squadron (four 75mm Type 41 mountain guns) and a field artillery squadron (four 75mm Type 38 field guns). The brigade has two infantry regiments.  , also has an artillery regiment, which has four brigades (thirty-six 75mm field guns and twelve 75mm mountain guns).

    In order to increase the air defense strength of the Japanese brigade, the Japanese brigade that joined the coalition also has a brigade using Chinese m1917-37-aa single-barreled anti-aircraft guns, with 24 Chinese-made anti-aircraft guns.

    The original Japanese artillery regiment was responsible for thirty-six mountain cannons and twelve field cannons. However, considering that the range and power of field cannons exceeded that of mountain cannons, and most of the mountain cannons required direct visual fire, according to the suggestion of the King of China,  In the future, the emergence of allied tank equipment and anti-tank guns will make mountain artillery gradually withdraw from the stage of history. Therefore, the Japanese brigades participating in the war followed suit and increased the number of field artillery.

    The 70mm infantry guns and grenade launchers originally equipped with the Japanese Army were replaced by Chinese-made 81mm battalion mortars and 60mm platoon mortars respectively.

    In addition, the Japanese brigade also has 1 cavalry brigade (508 people), 1 engineering brigade (719 people), 1 baggage brigade (1,200 people), 1 communications squadron (289 people), and 1 medical and health team (300 people)  ), plus the previous 2 infantry regiments (2x3818 personnel), 1 artillery regiment (3699 personnel) and 1 anti-aircraft artillery battalion (225 personnel), the full strength of the entire brigade is approximately 14,500 personnel.

    Of course, the redundancy of the Japanese brigade mainly occurs in the artillery unit. On average, one cannon and artillery shells require 77 people to pull horses and pack horses. In addition, the personnel efficiency of the baggage units, which are mainly horse-drawn carriages, is also relatively low.

    July 28, 1918 13:10 Operation Conference Room of the Eastern Front Allied Forces Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Samara

    The appointment of the first batch of six mixed infantry groups of the Central Front announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces made the entire Allied Forces Headquarters Operation Conference Room buzz. Perhaps it was to give the newly arrived Japanese 1st Army's Tanaka Yoshiichi a  It was a modest show of force, perhaps because the time was really short. The appointment read out by Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, was not discussed in advance with Tanaka Yiichi, the commander of the Japanese 1st Army.

    Of course, the personal qualifications and glorious achievements of the newly arrived commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Tanaka Giichi, and the division commanders of the 1st, 2nd and 5th Divisions below were presented to the Allied Forces Headquarters at the Japanese Army Ministry.  A riot of written documents had been submitted during the briefing, and Wang Geng also got a rough idea of ??the situation from Taro Utsunomiya, commander of the Allied Southwest Front and commander of the Japanese Third Army.

    For Taro Utsunomiya, who was far away in Belgorod preparing to command the Ukrainian campaign, Japan sent three divisions of the First Army to the front line to participate in the war. For him, it was both good news and bad news. On the good side,  Because the strength of the Japanese army in the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front has been enhanced, and it can have more room for maneuvering and deploying troops, the status and voice of itself and the Japanese generals in the Allied Forces should naturally be enhanced.

    The bad news is that the Japanese Army Ministry did not simply send 6 brigades or 3 divisions. Instead, it rebuilt the 1st Army before going abroad and appointed Tanaka Giichi, a direct candidate for the second generation leader of the Choshu Domain.  This sworn enemy came to join the war, and he was also promoted to the rank of Japanese Army General!

    Tanaka Giichi, who is three and a half years younger than Utsunomiya Taro, had already served as the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese Army Ministry when he was just a major general. Now he has become the youngest general of the Japanese Army. Tanaka Giichi, who was always extremely arrogant and talented.  , it is clear that it was Shanxian Yutomo and Terauchi Masaki who single-handedly supported him and sent him to suppress him.

    Perhaps the Choshu Domain felt that the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front were gaining traction and could not allow the Satsuma Domain¡¯s War Minister Uehara Yusaku and himself to follow the Chinese king to open up territories and gain the limelight. The arrival of Tanaka Giichi was not so much to deal with the upcoming Allied Eastern Front forces.  The battle between the Allied Forces of the Front and the main force of Germany and Austria might as well be said to be to divide one's authority in the Allied Forces. Behind the scenes is the dispute between the Japanese Minister of War, the Shu Domain and the Satsuma Domain!

    Wang Geng has a good opinion of Utsunomiya Taro, but this young uncrowned king of Asia does not pay attention to the disputes between the Choshu Domain or the Satsuma Domain. It is not in China's interest to have monolithic unity in Japan, although China  The conclusion of the Japan-Japan Alliance was the result of the Japanese temple governmentIt was the result of a compromise after joint consultation between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Navy, but Wang Geng knew that the undercurrent surging in Japan had never stopped.

    Speaking of which, in Wang Geng's previous life, the Imperial Faction led by Yusaku Uehara and Taro Utsunomiya were more inclined to Japan's independent foreign policy, while the Control Faction passed down by Aritomo Yamagata and Masaki Terauchi were both peaceful and independent.  The Western powers cooperated closely and were regarded as traitors and Western agents who betrayed Japan's interests by the young officers of the Emperor's Dao faction.

    But in this time and space, under the leadership of the King of China, China has transformed into a unique Eastern power. Butterflies fluttered its wings. With the conclusion of the Sino-Japanese alliance, Japan's political, military and economic aspects have made great progress and  Progress, the whole country of this island nation is bathed in unprecedented pride and happiness. Although it was forced to temporarily give up its involvement in China and became a little brother in the Sino-Japanese alliance, the rewards in return are intoxicating.

    Affordable coal, iron ore, and oil from China continue to provide Japan with the driving force and blood for economic development, and Western Siberia is nominally under the joint management of the Sino-Japanese Alliance, which expands Japan's potential territory by more than half.  Japan has never achieved such an achievement in its history!  The voices opposing the Sino-Japanese alliance have become increasingly weak with the help of China's rice and kerosene. Instead, calls are made for Japan to play a greater role in the Sino-Japanese alliance, instead of being raised as a dragon in front of the East.  A pet.
