Topic: Michitaro Komatsubara

	Far East
		Having received permission to "expel the invaders", the local Guandong Army commander, Lt. General Komatsubara, launched his men across the Khalkhin Gol river in a two pronged attack.
		Although Komatsubara was aware of the Soviet threat to his southern flank, he chose to reinforce the endangered northern flank instead, which, in turn caused Zhukov to commit the 9th Armored Brigade and the paratroopers of the 212th Brigade in the north.
		Michitaro Komatsubara's army on the Khalkhin Gol comprised 20,000 men and 112 field artillery pieces.

		To LTG Komatsubara Michitaro, commander of the IJA's 23d Infantry Division, which was stationed at Hailaerh, and in whose area of operations the incident had occurred, this latest border skirmish seemed to be typical.
		Komatsubara ordered a quick reaction force composed of the 23d Division's reconnaissance element (one cavalry company, one heavy armored car company, and a headquarters element–593 men total) and the lst Battalion, 64th Infantry Regiment (minus two companies) with a platoon of 37-mm rapid fire guns attached, along with 100 automobiles into the area.
		Lieutenant General Komatsubara and Kwantung Army Headquarters regarded the battle as a draw and accepted that verdict because they believed that the Nomonhan desert was worth no more Japanese blood.

	Early Polikarpov I-16 Variants, Part III
		Here the type 17 was used as a bomber destroyer and most of all as a low altitude attack fighter.
