The word Dazuo is translated from Japanese and is often called Colonel. China used to call a colonel "Colonel", but in the Japanese army, the actual situation would be more complicated.

Extended data

Dazuo is a rank in Japan. During World War II, Japanese officers adopted a three-level and nine-level system, that is, commanders, assistants and lieutenants, which were divided into large, medium and small. Among them, the colonel is equal to or higher than the colonel.

The positions that a Japanese lieutenant general can hold are: joint captain, brigade commander and division chief of staff. Although the chief of staff of the division is mainly from the upper school, because they belong to different systems, they work beside the head of the division (Lieutenant General), and their actual power is greater than that of the brigade commander below Major General.
