From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yasuoka Masaomi, Lieutenant General of the Imperial Japanese Army, commander of the Yasuoka Detachment or Yasuoka Task Force an armoured Detachment of the Kwangtung Army organized for the Japanese July 1939 offensive of the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. He was relieve of command on July 9th,1939 and his detachment was dissolved.
This category is for generals of the military forces of Imperial Japan and of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. As there was no organized Japanese national military prior to the late 19th century, all earlier historical figures should be placed in the proper categories such as Daimyo, Shoguns, or Samurai.
