During the Japanese invasion of China, some generals were killed on the Battlefield of China, and they deserved it. Among them, only two japanese active division commanders were killed by the Chinese army: Numata Tokushige and Naoji Sakai, both with the rank of lieutenant general.
Some people will ask, wasn't Abe Norihide, who was killed by Yang Chengwu of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, also a lieutenant general of the Japanese army? He was a lieutenant general, but Abe's position was that of a brigade commander, not a division commander. The division commander in Japan belongs to the emperor's personal officer, but the brigade commander is not.
In 1939, the third year of the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, the commander of the Japanese 114th Division, Tokushige Numata, was seriously wounded in Shandong and sent to the hospital to die.
In 1942, Naoji Sakai, commander of the Japanese 15th Division, was killed by a mine in Zhejiang.
Whose hands did they die? One was a famous anti-Japanese general of the Communist Party, and the other was an anti-Japanese hero of the Kuomintang. Of course, when New China was founded, these two people had the same destination, and they were both senior leaders of the People's Liberation Army.
Let's start with Tokushige Numata.
This guy is very bad, he was born in 1887, from Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. In 1936, he was transferred to the 2nd Division, promoted to major general, and began his criminal career of invading China.
On November 8, 1937, Numata Tokushige invaded Shanghai and then in December of the same year, and was one of the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre, committing heinous crimes against Chinese people.
In February 1938, Numata was reassigned to the North China Front and participated in the invasion of Xuzhou. After the war, he was promoted to the commander of the 114th Division, promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the army, and led his troops to be stationed in Jinan, Yanzhou and other places.
In mid-June 1939, Numata Tokushige led his troops and Yu Xuezhongbu, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Lusu Theater, fought in Lunan and targeted the troops of the Luxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and on June 30, 1939, a large -- "sweep" was launched from south to west.
The troops of the Luxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army are on the move
The commander and political commissar of the Luxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army was None other than Yang Yong, a famous anti-Japanese general and later the founding general of the People's Republic of China.
Numata Tokushige was very good at dealing with the Nationalist army, but he was helpless against the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army, and was led by the nose by Rusi's Eighth Route Army, and was repeatedly attacked and ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, suffering heavy casualties.
In mid-July 1939, the Japanese base camp was forced to order the cessation of the "sweep" and the retreat of the divisions.
Exhausted, Numata Tokushige then led the 114th Division to a hasty retreat to Jinan. When passing through Liaocheng, he was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army, which was ambushed on both sides of the road, with more than 200 casualties, and Numata Tokushige himself was shot several times in the chest and abdomen, and his life was in danger, and he was sent to the Jinan Japanese Army Central Hospital for rescue. The healing was ineffective, and after more than 20 days, he cried out for his life, ending his sinful life.
This demon left 18 diaries, which were dedicated to recording in detail his process and experience of playing with women, and in the war of aggression against China, he raped thousands of Chinese girls!
The diary also reads: "I have a grand goal, I hope that before my 70th birthday, I can play with 10,000 women, and all of them are virgins, which will undoubtedly be a great number!" "God has created so many races of skin, so many peoples, so many beautiful women, and the women I have enjoyed for 40 years are only yellow people!" How I hope that the Japanese army will go north and launch a war against the Soviet Union; go south into the Pacific ocean and launch a war against the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands, then I will have the opportunity to enjoy the different tastes of white beauty, black beauty, brown beauty! ”
It is a disgrace to human beings that such people live in the world. Sending him to hell is the mission of the righteous. Yang Yong's department, do a beautiful job!
Yang Yong is a native of Liuyang, Hunan, and a cousin of Hu Yaobang. He was a cousin, two years older than his cousin Hu Yaobang.
Yang Yong
At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yang Yong participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan.
At the beginning of 1938, Yang Yong, then the commander of the 686th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, led his troops to march with the main force of the 115th Division to Fenyang and Xiaoyi in Shanxi to mobilize the masses and open up the anti-Japanese base area of Lüliang Mountain. In September, he skillfully used his troops, set up three ambushes, annihilated nearly a thousand Japanese troops, and achieved the brilliant results of the three victories of Lüliang.
In the same year, Yang Yong also created a miracle of using a company to block the attack of 800 Japanese troops, saving the life of Wei Lihuang, deputy commander of the Second Theater and former commander-in-chief of the enemy, and this company only lost more than 20 people, making Wei Lihuang shout "impossible".
This company was 10 companies of 3 battalions under Yang Yong.
When Wei Lihuang's staff officers verified the situation, Wei Lihuang couldn't help but exclaim, "The Eighth Route Army is really capable!" If I had a regiment like your company, I am afraid that I would fight invincible hands all over the world! ”
Yang Yong said solemnly: "General Wei, the ability of a company and a regiment is limited, and the real invincible force is millions of people. ”
Look, a regimental commander of our army can have such a high understanding. Chairman Mao's soldiers are all remarkable.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Yong served as the commander of the Beijing Military Region, the deputy chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army, the standing committee member of the Central Military Commission, the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and other important positions, and was awarded the rank of founding general in 1955.
In 1964, British Marshal Montgomery visited a certain unit of the Beijing Military Region to visit a shooting performance, accompanied by Yang Yong, who was then the commander of the Beijing Military Region. At the end of the performance, Montgomery took a semi-automatic rifle, shot in a reclining position, shot consecutive shots, and then handed the gun to Yang Yong.
Yang Yong smiled slightly, took the gun and fired a remote shot, all shots were hit. On his way home via Hong Kong, Montgomery warned Western countries at a news conference: "Don't fight chinese troops on the ground." ”
When the news came, Chairman Mao laughed and said with a pun: "General Yang Yong, General Yang Yong!"

Let's talk about Naoji Sakai.
Born in 1891, Sakai was a descendant of Tadao Sakai (Tokugawa Ieyasu' retainer), a prominent Japanese general in the middle and late Sengoku period, and graduated from the 23rd Class of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School in 1911 and the 32nd Class of the Japanese Army University in 1920. When the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out in 1937, Naoji Sakai invaded China as the captain of the 4th Wing of the Guards.
In 1938, at the age of 47, Naoji Sakai was promoted to major general and served as the brigade commander of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Infantry Regiment of the 16th Division of the 35th Army, and in 1941 he was promoted to lieutenant general and appointed commander of the 15th Division.
In the Battle of Zhejiang in May 1942, the Japanese army counted the cities of Lianke and Senti Lanxi.
The new 21st Division of the Chuan Army Fan Shaozeng, the unit guarding Lanxi City. Luo Juntong, commander of the new 21st Division, and Huang Shiwei, deputy commander of the engineer battalion of the friendly army of the Sichuan Army, coordinated operations and planted many mines in the northern part of the city. On May 28, Naoji Sakai, commander of the Japanese 15th Division, stepped on a mine and was killed.
Fan Shaozeng was a good anti-Japanese hero. In 1949, he revolted and became the deputy commander of the Shashi Military Subdistrict in Hubei Province, and later transferred to local work. (Liu Jixing)
