Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Japanese
First Area Army was a field army of the Imperial Japanese Army during
World War II, based in northern Manchukuo and active in combat against
the Soviet Union in the closing stages of the war. The Japanese 1st Area
Army was formed on July 4, 1942 under the control of the Kwangtung Army
as a military reserve and garrison force to maintain security and public
order in northern Manchukuo as many veteran divisions of the Kwangtung
Army were transferred to the various southern fronts in the Pacific War.
It consisted mostly of minimally-trained reservists, conscripted
students and home guard militia, without adequate weapons or supplies.
The 1st Area Army was headquartered in Dunhua, in what is now the
Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province, China.
