	Kantogun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The unit was originally established in 1906 as the Kwantung Garrison to defend the Kwantung Leased Territory and the areas adjacent to the South Manchurian Railway.
		Although the Kantogun was nominally subordinate to the Japanese High Command, its leadership demonstrated significant self-determination, as conspirators in the Army plotted the assassination of Zhang Zuolin in 1928 and the Manchurian Incident (1931) leading to the foundation of Manchukuo in 1932.
		The Army fought against the Soviet Union's Red Army at Zhanggufeng in 1938 and Nomonhan in 1939, sustaining heavy casualties.

	The Soviet-Japanese War Japan Alternate History
		The Kwantung Army’s determination to defend the outer frontier of Manchukuo in 1938 was a continuation of two decades of Soviet probing and provocations; and this was one of Japan's reasons to sign the Anti-Comintern Pact with Germany in 1936.
		Imperial headquarters’ mistake, and the Kwantung Army command's mistake, was demonstrated in July 1938, in a hilly area on the eastern border of Manchukuo, close to Korea, known as Changkuofeng.
		In the ensuing fight, the Kwangtung Army were revealed to be totally outmatched in both firepower and quality of armor, and the Soviets inflicted devastating casualties, slicing the IJA to pieces; and forcing Tojo to call a retreat to the south.

	Leavenworth Papers No. 7 (August Storm: The Soviet 1945 Strategic Offensive in Manchuria)
		The Third Area Army of General Ushiroku Jun consisted of the 30th Army with four infantry divisions, one independent mixed brigade, and one tank brigade, and the 44th Army with three infantry divisions, one indepen dent mixed brigade, and one tank brigade.
		As the Kwantung Army weakened, planning shifted from the offense (before 1944) to realistic defense (in September 1944) and ultimately to acceptance of the need to delay on the borders and defend deeper in Manchuria (in 1945).
		Armies were large, theoretically consisting of as many as three to four rifle corps, for a total of twelve to fifteen rifle divisions, and reinforced by mechanized, cavalry, tank, and artillery units.

	Battlefield Operational Functions And The Soviet Campaign Against Japan In 1945
		This army was directed by Japan's Imperial General Headquarters to "create the semblance of strength" in order to deceive Soviet intelligence.5 The size of the opposing armies in Manchuria is best measured in terms of men and materiel, not number of units.
		The Kwantung Army's most comprehensive defense positions were along the eastern and northern borders, whereas the western defenses consisted of, for the most part, scattered strong points.
		The Kwantung Army's use of fires was constrained by its comparative lack of weapons, and its general shortage of ammunition.

	Russo-Japanese War
		The Kwantung Army determination to test the outer frontier of the USSR in 1938 through to 1940, was a continuation of two decades of probing.
		The Kwantung Army had been misled, and many Japanese officers were away from their units at the time of the attack.
		The Kwantung Army's pride was salved by a reminder that once Japan had secured its goal in the south the contest with the USSR could then be resumed.
