Figured I'd add my two cents for what it's worth. Here's a condensed version of the Jehol campaign.Peter H wrote:Can anyone please provide details on the Japanese advance into Jehol 1933?

In early 1933, Tang Yu-lin, Jehol's warlord, sold his province to the Japanese for millions, opium and a safe passage into China for his family and concubines. The Japanese invaded Jehol and pushed into the Hopei province, leading to the Great Wall War (or defense of the Great Wall). Hostilities ceased with the Tangku Truce on May 31st 1933.
The Jehol campaign was one step of the Kwantung Army to colonize the northern Chinese proviences (Shantung, Shansi, Charhar, Hopei, and Suiyuan) as a bulwark against the Soviet Union. In the years after the Jehol campaign and up to the Marco Polo bridge incident, the Kwantung Army constantly encouraged northern warlords to break away from the Nanking regime and submit to Japanese colonization.
Northeastern Army
Northeastern Army defended Jehol against the Japanese. Does anyone know what that force was like? So far I have this:
China
Northeastern Army-?
- 57th Corps - Miao Zhengliu Stationed near Xifengkou Pass
- 67th Corps At Gubeikou Pass
29th Corps - General Song Zheyuan
--25th Division - Guan Linzheng At Gubeikou Pass
--37th Division - ? ` At Xifengkou Pass
-32nd Corps - ? At Lengkou Pass
-- 139th Division -?

As per the above links the Shanhaiguan Pass battle,the gateway to Jehol, should also be highlighted.Its name literally meant the "Pass between Mountain and the Sea",the eastern anchor of the Great Wall.The Kwantung Army initially advanced on this area in December 1932,clashing with Chiang Hsueh-liang's forces on the 23rd December 1932.The town fell on the 1st January 1933.

Herbert Bix on the campaign:
The Japanese invasion of Jehol--an area "approximately the size of Virginia,Maryland,and West Virginia combined"--commenced on February 23 1933,one day before the assembly of the League adopted the Lytton Report,rejecting any change in the staus of Manchuria.Encountering little effective Chinese resistance,the twenty-thousand-strong Japanese force completed its operation in about one week.
Jehol Operation force and its commander?
What was the name of the Japanese Command that conducted the Jehol Operation and who was its commander?
Field Marshal Baron Nobuyoshi Muto , Kuangtung Army commander?
