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.
