Regiments / 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment NA 第18歩兵連隊
« on: August 23, 2015, 10:54:33 am »|Information| The 18th new infantry regiment for Blood & Iron, we recruit anyone who can speak English (This means EU is welcome if they are willing to put up with potential lag). We hope to attend events once 3.0 is released. We aim to be one of the best regiments out there and to also be respectable members of the Warband community. Members of the regiment will also be advised to use realistic Japanese names and it will be preferred but it will not be forced upon. We will also play various other mods and games outside of Warband such as CS:GO, Osu!, League of Legends, DOTA 2, or any other weeb games you can think of. [18th]Rank~Name |
With the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War in the summer of 1937, the regiment participated in the Battle of Shanghai and then participated in the major campaigns of central China. In 1944, the 18th Regiment was sent to the Pacific theater as part of the 29th Division. On the way to Saipan, the transport ship that was carrying the regiment, the Sakito Maru, was torpedoed and sunk. Over half the regiment drowned, but survivors were rescued and delivered to Saipan. Some stragglers had to be left behind, but the majority of the regiment was sent to Guam and prepared to repel the American invasion. Members of the 18th Regiment participated in both the Battle of Saipan and the Battle of Guam. In both battles, nearly all soldiers of the 18th Regiment were killed in action. A few soldiers survived the massed banzai charges and attempted to evade capture by hiding in the jungles, but as an organization the regiment became defunct and the ranks were not replenished. After the battle on Saipan, one officer of the regiment, Captain Sakae Ōba, distinguished himself when he took command of some soldiers and assumed responsibility for the civilians who had survived the battle. Ōba and his men surrendered in December 1945, three months after the official end of World War II. Battle Record [close] |
