    Including the previous 3rd and 7th Divisions, five of Japan's first seven A-type divisions have been used in the Allied Powers' Eastern Front operations. This is not yet over. The Japanese Army Ministry calculated for a long time.  Although it was known that the second batch of three divisions would be dispersed and mixed into the mixed group army of the Allied Forces Central Front, in order to strengthen the proportion and influence of senior Japanese generals in the Allied Forces Command, in order to strengthen the leadership of the Allied Forces Commander  Most people occupy a leadership position.

    Before going abroad, Japan's 1st, 2nd and 5th Divisions first joined the reorganized Japanese First Army so that they could be on an equal footing with Taro Utsunomiya's Japanese Third Army. This Japanese First Army was established in Sino-Japanese War.  It was on September 1, 1894 (Meiji 27) during the war, and was disbanded on May 28, 1895 after the war.

    The commander of the Japanese First Army during the Sino-Japanese War was General Yamagata Aritomo, the father of the Japanese Army. At that time, Yamagata Aritomo was only 56 years old. Although Yamagata Aritomo, who is now 80 years old, has retreated to the background, he has  But he is the well-deserved shadow parent of the Japanese Army. The Army Minister Uehara Yusaku who is in the foreground at this time is known as the father of engineers. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, he was just a major staff officer in the staff of the First Army of Yama Prefecture Aritomo.

    Behind the re-establishment and dispatch of the Japanese First Army was the will of Yamagata Aritomo, the head of the Japanese Army. Taro Utsunomiya, who had already achieved great success and prestige in the Allied Eastern Front Allied Forces, would later become the  The founder of the Saga Left Shoulder Clan, which was established to fight against the Choshu Clan of Yamagata Aritomo, was the young Japanese soldier who later launched the 2.26 Incident. The so-called Emperor Dao Sect were all his disciples.

    Of course, at this time, the commander of Japan's Third Army, Army General Taro Utsunomiya, was still young. Although he followed the Chinese king and got along well with the coalition forces, the Japanese Army lacked opportunities to perform in the Battle of Ufa, but became the leader of both the government and the opposition in Japan.  Accused Utsunomiya Taro of being weak and incompetent in front of the Chinese king, blindly appeasing, and having no excuse to gain better opportunities for the Japanese army.

    After the establishment of the Japanese First Army, the candidate for the commander also caused a quarrel within the Japanese Army Ministry. Lieutenant General Tanaka Giichi, who was already the deputy chief of staff of the Army Ministry, rolled up his sleeves and stood out. In terms of qualifications and abilities, this guy fell down.  He is also fully qualified to be the commander of the First Army. The only frustrating thing is that this guy is still an Army Lieutenant General at this time. Tanaka Giichi, who was promoted to Army Lieutenant General in October 1915, has only now become a third-level Army Lieutenant General.  A lieutenant general who is 20 years old has to wait at least three or four years before he has the opportunity to become a general in the Japanese Army.

    Fortunately, there was a precedent for Taro Utsunomiya being promoted from lieutenant general to general because he served as the commander of the Third Army before he went into battle. At this time, Lieutenant General Tanaka, the deputy chief of staff, also took advantage of this exception and was promoted to general in advance.  , the opportunity to serve as commander of the Japanese First Army.

    Tanaka Giichi (たなかぎいち, July 25, 1864 - September 29, 1929) was a native of Yamaguchi Prefecture. He graduated from the Japanese Army University. He later became the second generation leader of the Choshu Domain after Aritomo Yamaguchi. In July 1918  He was promoted to Army General in May and served as the commander of the Japanese First Army. He led the 1st, 2nd and 5th elite A divisions and sent them to the Eastern Front of the Allied Powers to participate in the war.

    In Wang Geng’s previous life, General Tanaka later became the fifth president of the Seiyoukai, the 26th Prime Minister of Japan, and the chief fabricator of the notorious "Tanaka Memorial".  As a soldier-politician, he had superior planning abilities and a good vision, and had been a decisive factor in Japan's military and political affairs for a long time.

    Tanaka was able to get the opportunity to serve as the commander of the First Army, be promoted to general as an exception, and lead three second-batch A divisions to fight in the Volga Federation. Of course, it has a lot to do with his background in the Choshu clan in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The performance behind it  This is about the mutual constraints and balance among the factions within the Japanese Army.

    The Army Minister at this time, Uehara Yusaku, was from Miyazaki Prefecture. After Oyama Iwa's death in 1916, Uehara Yusaku was now the leader of the Satsuma faction, and Utsunomiya Taro previously served as the commander of the Third Army and was sent to the Allied Powers' Eastern Front.  It was Yusaku Uehara who made it happen.

    It just so happens that Tanaka, an important minister of the Choshu Domain who was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, would later become the leader of the ruling faction that would fight to the death with Taro Utsunomiya's imperial faction.  At this time and space, the establishment of Japan's First Army and Tanaka's appointment have obviously laid the groundwork for competition and strife between the two sides. Of course, while the Choshu lord Juyama Prefecture Aritomo and Terauchi Masaki were still there, Uehara Yusaku  He and Taro Utsunomiya had no other chance but to hide their capabilities and bide their time.

    Looking back at the newly appointed Tanaka Giichi, Tanaka Giichi, who was born on July 25, 1864, spent his 54th birthday on the Trans-Siberian Railway. As one of the youngest army generals in Japanese history, Tanaka  Instead of taking a transport plane of the Allied Air Force to take the post, he took a group of division commanders on a special troop transport train to experience the vast scenery and customs on both sides of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

      The train carriages in Tsarist Russia were known for their luxury, spaciousness and comfort. The railways, stations, hundreds of trains and thousands of carriages that fell into the hands of the Chinese along with the land provided logistical support and troop transportation for the entire Allied Powers.  The necessary conditions have been met, so Tanaka Yiichi's journey to take office and the birthday party on the luxury train are quite enjoyable to watch.

    Tanaka Giichi was born in Kikuya Yokocho, Hagi. His father, Tanaka Shinsuke, was a low-level samurai who carried umbrellas and carried sedan chairs when the feudal lord traveled.  Tanaka Giichi is his third son.  Tanaka was born so large that his mother was mistakenly thought to be carrying twins when she was pregnant.  He was very naughty in his youth. In 1876, he once participated in the samurai rebellion led by Maehara Issei, but was spared due to his youth and ignorance.  After that, he worked as a handyman in the village office and a primary school teacher.

    Choshu, Japan at that time, was full of relics of the heroes of the Meiji Restoration. It is not difficult to imagine that Tanaka may have been following their footsteps in his dreams.  After the age of 20, he joined the Army Training Corps and the Army Non-commissioned Officer School (old 8th class), and was appointed Army second lieutenant in 1886. In 1892, when Tanaka was 29 years old, he graduated from the 8th class of the Army College with the rank of lieutenant.  Compared with many of his peers in the military at that time, Tanaka Yiichi started relatively late.

    However, since Tanaka Yiichi, who is known for not reading, entered the military, he has repeatedly shown his talents in various foreign aggression wars and military reorganization, and relied on his unique tactics to win over the warlord leaders who came from the same hometown.  Shanxian Youtomo, Katsura Taro and others appreciated him, and his official career was prosperous, and he became the direct heir of the Changshu warlords.
