39th and 56th Independent Field Artillery Battalions
In the Purunus database i've found the COs of 39th and 56th IFAB. Major Shōjiro Asayama was the CO of 39th from 15 July 1941 to 15 Dec 1942, and Megumijirō Kanemitsu was the CO of 56th from 15 Aug 1943 to 6 Sep 1944. However I have not found any trace of these units in the usual sources. Probably they were disbanded before the war ended. Any suggestion about where these units were deployed and to which major unit were assigned?
Thanks in advance. Kind regards.

From Jun 1944 to Sep 1944 Ramo(in Japanese pronunciation, now a part of Baoshan city) became a battlefield. A part of 56th division defended there, including 3rd battalion, 56th field artillery regiment, led by Major 金光恵二郎 (Kanemitsu Megumijiro). Major Kanemitsu led the garrison because only infantry companies were included and he was the senior officer.

The Purunus DB is an old web page, sadly now closed. It was a DB of IJA and IJN officers.

Hello Wellgunde and Joan:
The Purunus DB was renewed as "サクラタロウDB" (SakuraTaro DB).
http://sakurataro.org/DB/%E3%82%AB%E3%8 ... D%E4%BA%BA
You can search over 4,000 IJA officers by using "目次" (index).
