Technically, and practically too, there are no CharDiv 1 and 5 anymore.
Escept of course this and next episode just tell the story from other ships perspective and are not in the right chronological order. (Would still be btter than the chronological order they pulled at Haruhi...)

I used the CarDiv's as a reference to the original layout in the IJN.
There is alot of factionalism back in the Japanese forces back then when they rolled around the world. The IJA Malayan Command had lots of problems with HQ (some sort of rivalry between the Tojo ball-carriers and his detractors), and they weren't receptive of the IJN, which sat there and do pretty much nothing until Yamashita took over Singapore (the poor guy got sidelined by Tojo and was sent back to Manchuko).
It was until the Americans hammered them in Midway/Guadalcanal and started the Solomon campaign did they start having some sort coordination between the IJN and the 25th Army, under the Southern Expeditionary Army's Tokyo Express.
