Sumida Haikushiro (Sumida Raishiro) was an artillery
officer who commanded 1
Army at Taiyuan from
November 1944. After the general surrender, he became an advisor to the
Kuomintang governor of Shansi
province, who protected him from standing trial for war crimes. He is alleged to have made a pact with Yen Hsi-shan to keep as many as four divisions of Japanese troops in China to fight against the Chinese Communists.
