In 1934, the Kwantung Army was formed into an independent mixed brigade and regiment

In Japan, a squad is a platoon, a squadron is a company, a brigade is a battalion, and a wing is a regiment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoActually, the number of people in most countries is relatively uniform, with about 30 people in the squad, about 100 people in the squadron, and about 400 people in the brigade.

At the beginning of 1934, the independent mixed brigade had five infantry brigades and one artillery brigade, a communications brigade, an engineer brigade, and a baggage brigade, with a total number of about 5,000 people. The infantry brigade has three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron (four heavy machine guns), and the artillery brigade has one mountain artillery squadron and two field artillery squadrons. According to the establishment of a squadron of about 100 people, the total combat strength of the infantry brigade is about five or six hundred.

In the beginning, the independent mixed brigades were mainly used for garrison purposes, but also had a small field capability.

In 1945, the Japanese army changed the infantry brigade of an independent mixed brigade to four infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron and an infantry artillery squadron, with a large establishment of 1,500 people. The artillery of the brigade and regiment has six field guns and 12 mountain guns, and at the same time, its engineers and baggage units have also been expanded, and the reorganized independent mixed infantry brigade has five independent infantry brigades and artillery, engineering, communication, and baggage teams, with about 8,280 personnel in the whole brigade and regiment, equipped with 1,800 military horses, 4,050 infantry guns, 120 grenadiers, 120 light machine guns, 30 heavy machine guns, 10 flat-fire guns, 20 mountain guns, 12 field guns, and other weapons and equipment, and is a combat unit with considerable field combat capabilities.

To put it bluntly, the independent mixed brigade is a miniature version of the division, of course, the establishment is one thing, but the actual is another, but the combat effectiveness of the independent mixed brigade is still good, after all, there are more veterans, and the brigade commander is generally a major general, you must know that the division commander of the general three-unit division is also a major general.

Independent mixed brigades and regiments are generally field troops, and most of the divisions and regiments of the three units are garrison troops, and anyone who has served as a soldier knows what attitude the field troops have towards the garrison troops.
