WI: Japan knocks out China 1938-1941

Hi everyone I need some help

I was just looking at a new book I got and it said that an average Japanese division’s, 1941 era, transportation included 50 trucks, 250 carts and 2,700 horses. I was wondering is this adequate or not?

Even 250 "carts" is not very impressive. However, you really need to know how many horses the division averaged.

The small number of "cars" reflects the Japanese practice of keeping most of the automotive transport in 'Army' level groups. From that pool they would be tasked with supporting the divisions for specific missions. Still these army level automotive groups were not very large by european standards. In this same era the French army had 40% of its artillery motorized and 20% of its infantry motorized.
