Mutaguchi Renja




Beginning of a career
Born in Saga Prefecture. He graduated from the Imperial Military Academy as an infantry officer in 1910 and from the Military Staff College in 1917.
Mutaguchi takes part in the Siberian intervention and the fighting against the revolutionary Red Army. He is then assigned as a military attaché in France.
In 1926 he receives the rank of major and in 1930 lieutenant colonel.
From 1933 to 1936, he serves in the General Staff General Affairs Section in Tokyo.
In 1936 he is transferred to China, where he commands the Japanese garrison in Peking. In 1936-1938, he commands the 1st Infantry Regiment in China and is subsequently given a staff position in the Kuantung Army.


First war experiences
During his time in China, his troops were involved in the Marco Polo Bridge IncidentMarco Polo, which took place on 07.07. 1937, and his arrogance helped trigger the Second Sino-Japanese War. Believing that weakness and appeasement were merely provocations by China, he quickly achieved an escalation of the situation, which was originally only a local skirmish.
As he was a member of the Imperial Faction (Kōdōha) and was well connected politically, he quickly achieved his promotion to major-general in 1938 after the incident, and went on to hold various responsible staff positions in China and Manchuria. From 1938 to 1939 he is Chief of Staff of the 4th Army.
In 1939, he is called to Japan and serves as commander of the Military Preparatory School there until 1941.
In 1940 he receives the rank of Lieutenant General and with the start of the war in the Pacific, is given command in April 1941 of the 18th Division.


Fighting in the Pacific
This division participated in the invasion of Malaya and in February 1942 is itself wounded during the fighting for Singapore, in the final assault. After his fall, the 18th Division is moved to the Philippines as a messenger for the troops tasked with pushing American forces out of the Bataan Peninsula.
In April 1942, the division is moved to Burma and he with it to Rangoon.
In March 1943, Mutaguchi is given command of the 15th Army and begins to strongly push his plan of advance on Assam (U-Go), which subsequently led to the Battle of Imphal.


Operation U-Go
All his subordinates as well as superiors claimed that the operation was very risky and very likely to end in failure. Mutaguchi did not listen to the opinions of others and drove the commanders of the 15th, 31st and 33rd Division as well as his intelligence chief to resign. Eventually, however, he pushed the offensive with his superiors through his influence.
The offensive ends in disaster, 50,000 of Mutaguchi's 65,000 men perish, most due to disease and starvation. With the complete collapse of the offensive, Mutaguchi is relieved at his post and called to Tokyo, where he is forced to request to be placed on retirement.


End of the war
Mutaguchi is briefly called back into service in 1945 to once again hold the post of Commandant of the Military Preparatory School.
After the surrender of Japan, he is detained by American military authorities and extradited to Singapore, where he stands trial for war crimes. He is released from prison in March 1948 and returns to Japan, where he dies Tokyo on 02.08.1966.
In 1963, he came up with a study claiming that the Imphal campaign failed only because Sato failed to advance on Dimapur.
