A brief introduction to the life of Liu Sanjie, Yokoyama Yong. How did Yokoyama Yong finally die?

1943 10 according to the instructions of sending troops to attack Changde, Yokoyama Yong made a new battle plan. In order to complete the task, he asked to send troops to deploy/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/6 Division reinforcements under/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/Army. But the 13th Army was short of soldiers, so we had to step in and do the work of Hengshan. However, Yokoyama Yong thought that Liu did not have the courage to do things, so he bluntly refuted it, which caused great dissatisfaction and planted the seeds of bitterness. 1 16 division was finally transferred successfully, but it failed to command the battle in western Hubei, so it sent troops to 1 16 division commander and suggested that he assist Yokoyama Yong in making a battle plan. However, when he arrived at 1 1 unit, he saw the battle plan and found it almost perfect. Hengshan was far-sighted and completely copied the situation of the battle in western Hubei in the first stage of the campaign, creating an illusion for the national army, so that it withdrew its main force from Changde in accordance with the old coping style of 3354 and assembled its two wings to counterattack. In this way, the Japanese army can disperse and push away the national army with its main force, and surround and capture the empty Changde. Because the national army failed to see through this, it made an unrealistic counterattack on the spot, and the development of the situation was just as Hengshan expected. The main forces of the 3rd, 13, 39, 68 and 16 divisions of the Japanese army and the five detachments of Haneda, Koga, Sasaki, Miyawaki and Jintian successfully crushed the defenses of 10 and 29 army. Peng Shiliang, commander of the 5th Division of the 73rd Army, and Xu Guozhang, commander of the 4th Army 150 Division, died. After the withdrawal of the main force of the national army to the west, Changde and its surrounding areas were only left with a 57 th division of the 74 th Army, and the Japanese army immediately surrounded it. At this time, it was too late for the national army to mobilize troops to reinforce. At this point, Hengshan thought Changde was a five-fingered snail, but this time he met his second opponent, Yu Chengwan, the 57th division commander. Yu and the person named after him went bankrupt because of the policy of "keeping one ditch and one pit". To make matters worse, he killed two commanders in a row in just a few days and was criticized for sending troops.

The trouble is far from over. 165438+1At the end of October, 10 army began to reinforce Changde. Because the headquarters received a death order, it rushed forward desperately and tore open the Dayuan defense line continuously, making Hengshan go forward bravely. In the end, the rescue failed, and Sun, the commander of the tenth division, also shed blood on the battlefield. In this regard, he learned about the combat effectiveness of 10 troops, and for the first time he knew the name Fang Xianjue, but he didn't expect this to be the last time.

In 65438+February, reinforcements from all walks of the national army gathered, and the Japanese army was helpless and began to retreat across the board. Due to the fierce fighting, the discipline of the troops is very poor. He personally cut off the most chaotic team-Colonel Ryosuke, the captain of the 34th Infantry Regiment, with the back of a knife to warn his subordinates. When the whole army retreated to Lishui, he accepted Yan's suggestion and let the exhausted army camp on the spot under the eyes of the national army pursuers. Due to the caution of the national army and the slow response of the command organization, the pursuit troops watched the Japanese army rest and dared not attack. This made the Japanese army avoid the possibility of being chased and hit hard by the national army. At this time, however, according to the instructions from the base camp, the Dispatching Army Command asked 1 1 Army to ensure Changde. Hengyong took the initiative to disobey the order, and finally let the dispatching headquarters withdraw this impossible order. However, it also added a heavy sum to his disagreement with Liu Jun.

Operation 1

1 in April, 944, the Japanese army launched1in order to open up the mainland traffic line. Heng Yong is a highly independent senior general with great power and strength. When the base camp and China sent troops to decide to form the 6th Army, they consulted 1 1 Army. Hengshan replied: "It is necessary to upgrade 1 1 troops." Obviously, he wants to be the commander of this army. However, on August 25th, the establishment order of the 6th Army was officially issued. The commander is not his Yokoyama Yong, but Okamura Ningji, who is five years older than him. So he was full of discontent and ignored Okamura's love, always looking for opportunities to offend the authority of his immediate boss. Okamura is well aware of this. He thought, as long as you dare to disobey orders and let me arrest you, the commander will arrest you rudely.

Because 1 1 troops are the main force of 1 operations, Yokoyama Yong was always the protagonist of the battlefield in China before being transferred. One is to send 1 1 Military Palace Corps to cooperate 12 Army to open Pinghan Railway Line. Subsequently, Yokoyama Yong commanded the 2nd Brigade of the 8th Division and launched an all-out attack on the national army with the largest force in a region since the July 7th Incident. Because the Japanese army is well-planned, well-prepared, and the tactics are highly targeted, and the national army is subject to the old stove war, the main generals are overwhelmed by the enemy. Yokoyama Yong not only realized the unsuccessful attempt to occupy Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, but also dealt a devastating blow to the main force of the ninth theater of the National Army.

However, the victorious Yokoyama Yong also fell into the trap of underestimating his enemy. He fully believes that Hengyang can become an important transportation hub in a short time with the main force of the 68th Division and the 1 16 Division. However, this wish suffered a major setback under the tenacious resistance of the tenth army of the National Army. The defeat of the battle made Yokoyama know his last opponent in his life, Commander Fang Xianjue, 10 troops. Under the pressure of the base camp, Tojo Tojo himself and the emperor, he adjusted his deployment in an attempt to save face. However, he did not follow the advice of his superiors and postponed the second general attack, so that the frontline troops had sufficient ammunition reserves. However, this attack failed again in front of 10 army soldiers. Heng Yong had to 1 set out from Changsha and personally arrived in Hengyang on August 2 to direct the siege. At this time, for him, even if he wins, there is not much glory, because the Japanese army simply relies on the absolute superiority of manpower and material resources to force the 10 army that has run out of ammunition to give up resistance.

After Fang Xianjue gave up his resistance, the Japanese emperor hoped that Fang Xianjue would become a hero of the Japanese army and instructed Fang to become the commander of the First Peace Army. This matter was originally for Yokoyama Yong to negotiate, but he thought it was like a joke, so he asked his subordinates to come forward. But for a senior commander like Yokoyama Yong, he had already seen clearly the inevitability of Japan's defeat, so he took a great tolerant attitude on Fang Xianjue and other issues. So that when Fang Xianjue and others fled back to Chongqing, he did not delve into it.

After solving the Hengyang problem, 1 1 army attacked southwest along the Gui Xiang railway, launched the Baoqing-Hongqiao operation, and occupied Lingling and Quanzhou successively. Along the way, Yokoyama Yong became extremely conceited, mocking his boss many times and resisting orders. Once, in a conversation with the chief of staff, he said, "In the current Great East Asian War, only the front line of our army can immediately take the initiative."

101October10, Hengshan arrived at the front line of Hongqiao in the rain and presided over the Japanese condolence group ceremony on June 19. The next day, he officially ordered to fight in Guiliu. The Japanese army made rapid progress and soon surrounded Guilin. 1October 8th, 165438+ launched a general attack,1October 8th occupied Guilin. The conquest of Guilin in three days brought him a great aura of victory.

As early as 1 1.2 before Guilin was occupied, Hengshan decided to attack Liuzhou directly on the advice of the staff. Because this plan was inconsistent with the operational policy of the Sixth Army, Yokoyama Yong had a fierce conflict with his immediate boss, General Okamura Ningji, commander of the Sixth Army. On October 9th, 165438+ General Okamura had to order an attack on Liuzhou's 1 1 army under the command of Lieutenant General Tanaka Jiuhe, commander of the 23rd Army. However, when the telegram reached 1 1 troops, all ministries were in an uproar, thinking that Okamura was eccentric and would not be affected by your life outside. So the heads of the divisions said that they only listened to Yokoyama Yong, so he commanded the 3rd and13rd divisions of the headquarters to successfully occupy Liuzhou. Although it won another victory, it led to the bankruptcy of the main encirclement and suppression plan of the national army formulated by General Okamura. So in all fairness, Yokoyama Yong made a mistake in this choice. 165438+1October 14, Hengshan Yong ordered the 13th Division to attack Dushan; Three divisions killed Duyun. The two departments successively captured two places and retreated after being destroyed. By 65438+February 10, the Japanese army finally got through the mainland traffic line, 1 the war was over.

No good end.

Because Yokoyama Yong repeatedly disobeyed orders and went his own way, he offended many people, which is naturally unbearable for some people who are famous for their iron fists. Therefore, when General Okamura Ningji, commander of the 6th Army, was promoted to commander-in-chief of China, he proposed that Yokoyama Yong be transferred from the battlefield in China as punishment. So, only 12 days after the Guilin Games, he was transferred to China as the commander of the Western Front Army, and at the same time, together with Yokoyama Yong, all three divisions of the 1 1 Army who would not obey his orders were replaced. From then on, Yokoyama Yong was isolated on the battlefield in China. The following year, the Western Front Army was expanded into the 16 Army, and he was appointed as the commander of the 16 Army and commander of the Western Military Region, actively preparing to fight against the landing and final fall of American troops. In his jurisdiction, the B-29 pilot was shot down and killed.

1In August, 945, Japan was defeated and surrendered, and Yokoyama Yong was also suspected by the US military as a Class B war criminal. After the trial, the US military prosecuted him in nine cases, including the hacking incident and the oil mountain incident, and was finally sentenced to hanging. Later, due to physical reasons, the sentence was reduced. 1952 On April 2 1 day, he died in Vaya prison, ending his sinful life.
