Abe Norihide was killed by my heroic Eighth Route Army, for a long time we all know that he is a lieutenant general, but in view of the tradition of promoting a rank after the death of the Japanese general, so some people mistakenly believe that Abe was a major general before his death, and was promoted to lieutenant general after death. I did not want to waste time to check it, but there are always people who believe in wrong views, in line with the purpose of the original source, I will check it
Norihide Abe in the TV series
The picture above is Abe Norihide in a TV series in our country, you take a closer look at the collar badge, two stars, the obvious lieutenant general, ah, but there must be some people who are not convinced, they must say that there is very little case of wearing gangs in Chinese TV dramas? This is also the reason, so let's find information again.
China's information, not credible, then simply let's directly find Japanese information, see the screenshot below, there is a website, there is a file title
Just click on this file to see the contents, it is very clear
Report of Abe's death in battle
This document is a report from naosaburo Okabe, commander of the Mongolian Army, to Minister of War Shunroku Hata, and the first page of the report says that on June 1, 1939, in the fourteenth year of Showa (1939), Norihide Abe was appointed as the commander of the 2nd Brigade, and he was a major general at the time. Don't worry, look further down
