Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Military Unit Шаблон:Infobox command structure The Шаблон:Nihongo was an infantry division of the Imperial Japanese Army. Its call sign was the Шаблон:Nihongo. It was formed on 13 March 1943 at Tokyo as a triangular division. The nucleus for the formation was the 61st independent infantry brigade. Because the 61st Division was intended for garrison duty, it initially did not include an artillery regiment. The division was permanently assigned to the 13th army.

Action

The 61st division was transferred to the Nanjing area to replace the 15th division departing for Burma in June 1943. It performed garrison duties uneventfully until February 1945, when it formed a mortar company and was transferred to Shanghai. In the Shanghai area it continued preparations for the anticipated Allied landing until the surrender of Japan on 15 August 1945.
