  Okamura and engaged in military attache in office, did catch on, rather, "performance" in the Shanghai textile workers strike, killing Gu Japanese manufacturers are red after the incident, his clever use of the British imperialists to lead the charge to create Thirtieth Incident, and Shakey tragedy anti-imperialist spearhead the Chinese people suddenly focused on the United Kingdom. A result, the total Japanese exports to China the year 1925, not only by the Thirtieth not the effect of anti-imperialist patriotic movement fell even more than the previous year by 12%.

He returned shortly, in order to prevent the National Revolutionary Army of the Second Expedition, the Japanese Army troops outrageously Jinan, to August 15, 1927, Yasuji Okamura, Colonel United captain has finally received the appointment, but this half-baked troops in addition to proof of Jinan outside the Japanese army's brutality has no role in the international arena despite protests that he has not set foot on the mainland is ready Road home.
  Kwantung Army Deputy Chief of Staff
  May 30, 1933, Yasuji Okamura, as the Japanese military representatives and representatives of Bear Bin Yingqin sent a formal cease-fire talks in Tanggu. The actual negotiations will be the Japanese imperialist aggression against the conditions imposed on a prepared Chinese, forced China to accept a ceremony. Finally, Yasuji Okamura finally got to his satisfaction, "Tanggu truce." Yasuji Okamura on behalf of the agreement signed by Japan and its essence is to force the recognition of the Great Wall of China for the Japanese occupation of wire line, it means that recognition is the second region of North China Pingjin "Manchukuo." Also identified areas of non-armed, as the Japanese invasion opened the way for further expansion.
  June 12, organized by the Taiwanese-based detachment of the wave field captured Anqing, then in the navy and air force with the next breakthrough in Madang fortress, along crush a dozen no-name divisions, Jul. 26 occupation of Jiujiang, completed the campaign off. August 1, Yasuji Okamura formally issued attack orders. At that time, there are three divisions in his hand a brigade group, there are two divisions in the reinforcement. He was determined to wave field detachment guarding to 6th Division north and along the Yangtze River in Wuhan upside concentrated two divisions along the line of capture Nanxun Nanchang, then west into the large roundabout to Yueyang, cut off the sixth theater surround Chen Cheng Jun 27. But his calculations wrong, first by the Chinese military to lure 101 Division deviate from the main line of attack, plunged headlong into the western mountains and fight from the consumption of the Chinese army, and then prepared to detour Xue Yuebing group and because the rear of the 106th Division was lost in China military siege suffered heavy casualties. Okamura reinforcement of two divisions with Disembarrassing and had to revise their operational plans, to give up the big roundabout strategy, use 6, 9, 27, a total of three divisions of the large number of troops along the river and, in naval and air support, the breakthrough tianjiazhen fortress, defeat Zhang Fakui along, Pin Li Xian two corps, finally into the October 26 first to Wuchang.
  China policy, he opposed the establishment of Wang Jingwei regime, that this way will stimulate the Chongqing Nationalist regime to compel him to take the road of war must die. He served in the occupied territories against the Japanese officials at all levels, and advocates using Chinese, the Chinese people to give "dignity." He proposed "discussion Jiang Aimin" slogan, keep on breaking the anti-Japanese forces. When he learned that the Japanese army rape occurred, the military judge to lack of evidence and other grounds for not reporting the crime, military defense, he was furious, to the victims during the war, how can dare to denounce the grounds of Weak punish the criminals. Summer 1939, Yasuji Okamura completed his research, the development of China's fifth, ninth two-imposed political theater, war strategy outlines the program and guidance. The core idea is: political, military, and send agents and other means, incite defection miscellaneous troops, isolated to the Whampoa Military Academy The young major as the Central Army, Central Army and then destroy. The plan essentials are: First, on the fifth theater in the enemy (referring to the Chinese army), and placing emphasis on the instigation of Guangxi, Sichuan, rebel army, to make the collapse of the whole theater; followed by the theater Army Central Army and collateral be affected, but also do not miss work. Second, the enemy on the 9th Theater (referring to the Chinese military), military and guerrilla Sichuan can impose collateral Huairou military work to other forces (other than direct military) strategy to actively promote and guide the lost war will and to surrender , escape ... ... 3, task-sharing: 6th Division on the work of Yeung Sum military instigation; 33 Division of the Tomb of work-based military instigation; served as military agents on the five-theater work in Sichuan Army incite defection strategy, this should accept the division Head of assistance. Vigorously carry out subversive work in the same time, Okamura Ningci has formulated the "Outline guide south operations," the 9th Theater Army as a central focus of Wuhan against the Japanese. Outline of the central intent is: to surprise means, try to wipe out the central forces in the short term.
  Then, in May and in September he launched a fifth of China's Xiang Dong onslaught theater warfare (battle with dates) and on the 9th Theater of the Hunan-Jiangxi Campaign (First Battles). Xiang-Dong onslaught fighting his three divisions to face a cavalry brigades and regiments Li Tsung-jen 20 Jun 30 million people, the Hunan-Jiangxi Campaign his four divisions in 52 divisions on the Simon. Common feature is the large positive on the long-range raid, vigorous attempts to destroy the other key goal Corps, (in Jiangbei is A General Corps, in the south is related Lin Group) endless occupation, geographic targeting, speed into the speed back. Are due to lack of combat troops and combat geographical restrictions could not finish the job. This shows that Japanese troops have been engaged in protracted war they fear most.
  April 1941, Yasuji Okamura was awarded the rank of general. Shortly after being appointed as the North China Area Army commander of the Emperor, when the North China Area Army personnel 245 000, horse 52000, heavy artillery 740, auto 8000, various ammunition, a battle over copies of forage in January. Japan's largest strategic group. His village in Beijing on the outskirts of Charming, a period of time of the former went wrong, that: North Army has always been highly decentralized deployment of forces, on average only 2 individuals per 3 square kilometers. Lack of regular Su is the exact goal, often become a static defense. If not actively crusade against the Japanese, the Chinese Communists do not invade. At first glance, no problem at all, like the conclusion of a nonaggression treaty. However, during the coexistence of both sides, China has carried out secret work among the population, enhance its strength, when the time comes, you can move in one fell swoop attack. Hundred Regiments Offensive case in point. Therefore, the Japanese implemented policy goal should be to take the initiative to attack the planned measures, should be divided regions, limit the time to consolidate the security area, hidden strength of quasi-security areas, there are plans to enter the security area, and to the remaining strength to not order regional advance, so that law and order to the potential development area. Ultimate goal is to pull people in North China 100 million Japanese. In accordance with the steps to do so, not only should not be anxious, and do not miss the opportunity, must be targeted tactics. Yasuji Okamura said the Eighth Route Army, such as maggots attached to bones, wears a rapid growth over right again, it must not relax the pressure on the Eighth Route Army. He plans to use the three-year de facto control of the Japanese from 10% to 70%. He is a security zone to determine whether the standard is very simple girl from China in the eyes can see that the local law and order situation is good or bad, first, absolutely not see sign of girl. Department of fear of Japanese soldiers in evidence. "Bad law and order." Second, our cars, trucks, surprisingly, while far from the window overlooking. "Security was slightly better." Thirdly, in the above cases, out of the house overlooks the mouth, the Chinese girl walking on air of calm to the streets between the Japanese soldiers on. "Safe."
  In 1941, the mobilization of tens of thousands of Japanese Yasuji Okamura, began the brutal Chinese army major "mop." Chinese history books say that he made as commander of the North China Front "Sanko" policy, resulting in approximately 2.7 million civilian deaths, but has written his memoirs, he proposed the slogan "do not kill, not steal, do not prostitution, "the three no's policy, in fact, the" three no's "than" Sanko "are even more striking surface on the Japanese armed forces to constrain the conduct of war, in fact, he is to win public support in order to achieve the objective of long-term occupation of China. Department of the Kuomintang army can not stand the pressure, light more than 40 million have surrendered, they surrendered generals also very sophistry, they first met in the North when Okamura said: "We are not Traitor people, the Communist Party is the rebel, we and the Japanese want to eliminate them together. We are still receiving the pay in Chongqing, in case of military operations with the Central Army, we can not help, hope this will understand. "At this time the Eighth Route Army into a very passive situation, loss of half of the base and population, rich plains all into guerrilla zones, the total strength reduced from the 400 000 300 000. In front of the Taihang Mountains on the headquarters of the Japanese special forces raid, Zuo Quan, chief of staff killed. Peng was a strong feeling of the men who say: "Yasuji Okamura is a more sinister than the Jun Tada, more experienced opponent. He has a lot of talent, a pragmatic, careful and meticulous. Each attack, he must investigation for six months, to do preparatory work. did not insiders to launch with 'maintenance' He is not 'eaten'. he was not pushy, do not have much on non-violent men, from his speech where you can not see his movements to. He often extensive collection of the things we study the things we are always the Japanese commander of the North China the most powerful one. "As the troubled of Japan's Pacific war, the Japanese continue to be deployed north of the Eighth Route Army has finally stuck with it.
  In 1944, the Japanese mainland opened up lines of communication plan, put forward a proposal to entrust the North China Area Army, which, although not advocated by Okamura Xi'an - Chengdu combat, but he made serious preparations, in fact, his early fall of 1941, won the south bank of the Yellow River a bridgehead as a breakthrough, and maintained at all costs for two years. In view of the Chinese Peoples Army 40 into the first theater and A General Jiang Dingwen two groups, while the Japanese in North China can only use half of the 140 Battalion of about 12 million people. He is expected to eliminate the first group as the motor force of the soup, and then destroy the center of Luoyang Jiang Dingwen to defend the troops. A General like to play sports for the war, and like to take advantage of the Japanese surprise attack by troops to retreat when the concentration of one wing of the habit, Okamura command the chariot of the 3rd Division Secrets Inner Mongolia south, deployed in the front, rear, ready to counterattack in A General time to blow him. Results battlefield developments is expected to fully comply with his soup counter-attack just show appearance was defeated. Okamura also keep soil from the North China Area Army commander was transferred to large-scale mobile operations commander of the Sixth Army. Wuhan arrival in office, he was surprised to find in South China's domination of the air has been taken away by U.S. Air Force, Wuhan military warehouses were blown up, even he must pass to go to Guangzhou, Taiwan, and his adventures at night at night from Nanchang visit to Guangzhou, but his next Okabe Naosaburo fly that route was wounded when. Liu Gui during combat, because of the military commander of the 11 Yokoyama Yong does not perform the command, the first to occupy the struggle for power in Liuzhou, destroyed his big surrounded annihilate the Chinese army's plan, his iron fist discipline reorganization, the 11 troops from the army commander to the teachers to stay in all operational staff do not replaced a show of his thunder means.
  Yasuji Okamura's invasion of China as the war for the Japanese Empire set illustrious military exploits, in November 1944, Japanese Government promoted him to general commander of Japanese Troops. Yasuji Okamura bent due to lead the 800,000 Japanese invaders ready for "the saying" the decisive battle, August 12, Yasuji Okamura Tokyo headquarters received a telegram, the core of this article revealed prepared to accept the surrender of the facts , Yasuji Okamura read this telegram was "It's bolt from the blue."

Okamura two divisions with reinforcements after the siege had to revise their operational plans, to give up the big roundabout strategy, use 6, 9, 27 a total of three divisions of the strong force along the river and, in the naval and air support to break through the fortress town Tian, Zhang Fakui repulsed along the Li Xian Armies goods, and finally into the October 26 first to Wuchang.
  April 1939, he was robbed in China before the army launched an offensive in April, launched to win the Battle of Nanchang, Nanchang targeted. The face of Luo Zhuoying Group 10 Jun 20 million people and cross the road in the three wide into the river, he did defy the Court House chief of staff _set_ free will of Marshal Prince Jen, argue that the two ate defeat by 101,106 division as the main weakness of the specific tactics, he's a breakthrough in 3 km wide by 250 heavy guns to concentrate and focus 130 tanks under the cover of the Air Force as a pioneer in single breakthrough, the results of seven days on the occupation of Nanchang. You know the German blitzkrieg in Poland six months later, alone and determination to make this plan he could be included in the list of Japan's famous.
  In its China policy, he opposed the establishment of Wang Jingwei regime, that this way will stimulate the Chongqing Nationalist regime, to compel him to embark on the road of war must die. He served in the occupied territories against the Japanese officials at all levels, and advocated the Chinese to China, to give the Chinese people with "dignity." He proposed "to discuss Jiang Aimin" slogan, continue to divide the anti-Japanese forces. When he learned that Japanese troops rape occurred, the military judge and the other for lack of evidence for a crime not denounced the military defense of the ground, he flew into a rage, to the victims during the war how can dare to denounce the grounds of Weak punish the criminal. 1939 summer, Yasuji Okamura completed his research, the development of China's fifth, ninth two-imposed political theater, war strategy outlines the program and guidance. The core idea is: political, military, and send agents and other means, incite defection motley crew, isolated mainly to the Whampoa Military Academy, Department of the Central Army young, and then destroy the central army. The plan essentials are: First, the enemy of the fifth theater (referring to the Chinese army), and placing emphasis on the instigation of Guangxi, Sichuan rebel army, to make the whole theater to collapse; followed by the theater Army Central Army and its collateral be affected, but also do not miss work. Second, the enemy of the ninth Theater (referring to the Chinese military), military and guerrilla Sichuan can impose collateral Huairou military work to other forces (other than direct military) to promote positive strategies to guide their will and to surrender the loss of the war fleeing ... ... Third, the task of sharing: the 6th Army Division instigation of the work of Yeung Sum; 33 Army divisions based on the Tomb instigation work; military spies on the five-theater Department of Sichuan as the army's instigation strategy work, this should accept the division Head of assistance. Vigorously carry out the work in luring the same time, Okamura Ningci has formulated the "Outline of Jiangnan operational guidance," the central theater of the Ninth Army against the Japanese as a focus of Wuhan. Outline the center of the intent: to surprise means, try to wipe out the central forces in the short term.
  Then, in May and in September he launched a fifth of China's Xiang Dong onslaught theater warfare (with dates Battle) and ninth in the Hunan-Jiangxi Campaign theater (the first Battle of Changsha.) Xiang-Dong advance on his three combat divisions to face a cavalry brigade 20 Jun 30 million Li Tsung-jen, Hunan and Jiangxi battle his division of Simon 4 52 divisions. Common feature is that in the long-range raid on a wide front, in hot pursuit to destroy the other backbone of the Corps as the goal, (in Jiangbei is Tang Enbo Corps, in the south is off Linzheng Group) endless occupation of the target area, speed into the speed retreat. Are due to lack of combat troops and combat geographical restrictions could not complete the task. This shows that the Japanese army has been plunged into a protracted war that they fear most.

North China Area Army Commander
  April 1941, Yasuji Okamura was awarded the rank of general. Soon to be appointed as the North China Area Army commander of the Emperor, when 245,000 workers in North China Area Army, horse 52000, heavy artillery 740, car 8000, a variety of ammunition, a battle in January were more than forage. Japan's largest strategic group. Charming the outskirts of his village in Beijing, focused for some time because of mistakes of his predecessor, that: North Army troops deployed has always been highly fragmented, only 2 of 3 square kilometers per person. The absence of Su is the exact goal of regular, often become a static defense. If not actively crusade against the Japanese, the Chinese Communists do not invade. At first glance, no problem, just like the conclusion of a nonaggression treaty. However, coexistence of both sides during the Communist secret is to work among the population to enrich its power, when the time comes, you can turn to attack in one fell swoop. Hundred Regiments case in point. Therefore, the policy goal of the Japanese facilities should be planned to take proactive measures, to be divided into regions, limit the time to consolidate security areas, concealed areas of potential security forces, there are plans to enter the security area, and no law and order to the remaining forces region advance to make security zone to the prospective development. The ultimate goal is to pull people in North China 100 million Japanese. In accordance with the steps to do so, not only should not be anxious, and do not miss the opportunity must be targeted tactics. Yasuji Okamura said the Eighth Route Army, attached to bones, such as maggots, drug blamed for rapid growth and vigor is over, it must not relax on the suppression of the Eighth Route Army. He plans to use three years of actual control to the Japanese region from 10% to 70%. He is a security zone to determine whether the standard is very simple, from the Chinese girl's eyes can see that the local law and order situation is good or bad, first, absolutely not see the girl disappeared. Department of fear of Japanese soldiers in the evidence. "Security is not good." Second, our cars, trucks, and surprisingly far from the window, watching. "Security was slightly better." Third, in the key cases, out of the house overlooking the mouth, the Chinese girl had an air of calm to walk in the streets between soldiers. "Good order."
  In 1941, the mobilization of tens of thousands of Japanese Yasuji Okamura, the brutal Chinese army began a large "clean." Chinese history books say that he served as commander of North China Area Army made the "Sanko" policy, resulting in the death of about 270 million civilians, but has written his memoirs, he proposed the slogan "do not kill, do not grab, do not prostitution, "the three no's policy, in fact, the" three no's "than" Sanko "more powerful, surface of the Japanese armed forces to constrain the conduct of war, in fact, he is to bribe people in order to achieve the objective of long-term occupation of China. Department of the Kuomintang army can not stand the pressure, the light will have to surrender more than 40 million, which is also very crooked generals to surrender, they first met in the North when Okamura said: "We are not traitors who defected to the enemy, the Communist Party is the rebel, we and the Japanese want to kill them together. We still accepted the pay in Chongqing, and if your military operations with the Central Army, we can not help, hope this will understand. "At this time the Eighth Route Army into a very passive situation, loss of half of the base and population, all turned into the guerrilla zone rich plains, the total strength of the 40 million to 30 million. In front of the Taihang Mountains on the Japanese special forces raided the headquarters, Zuo Quan, chief of staff died. Peng had deep feeling for his men later said: "Yasuji Okamura is a more sinister than the Jun Tada, more experienced opponent. He has a lot of ability, to seek truth from facts, careful and meticulous. Each attack, he must investigation for six months, to do preparatory work. no inside started with the 'maintenance', he is not the 'eating away'. he was not pushy, not much talk of the men are not brutal, where you are from his speech to see his movements. He often extensive collection of the things we study our things, the Japanese commander in the north has always been one of the most powerful. "troubled Pacific war by Japan, the Japanese continue to be deployed in North China, the Eighth Route Army has finally stuck with it.
