일제강점기 용산기지의 군사전략적 기능에 대하여 －1904년 러일전쟁에서 1930년대 만주사변기의 ‘조선군’의 역할과 기능－

Abstract

Japan, which began illegally occupying Korea when the Russo-Japanese War broke out on February 8, 1904, imposed a treaty on the Korean government on February 26 and was able to enforce its military capacity under Article 4, which was based on the assumption of Article 4. This was the start of what was called the Yongsan base, and the history of the international military presence at the base has continued to this day until 2017. The starting point for the modern history of Yongsan Garrison is the history of Korea's strength in the Japanese armed forces, the history of the “Japanese armed forces in Korea” (hereinafter referred to as the “Japanese Army of Korea(Joseon-gun, 조선군)”, and the key space for the establishment of Japanese imperialistic attacks and control. In other words, to understand Yongsan's modern history, it is necessary to explore the historical trajectory of the “Japanese Army of Korea(Joseon-gun, 조선군)” And in this Go, I would like to focus on the military strategic function of the “Japanese Army of Korea(Joseon-gun, 조선군)” seen through the Yongsan base. Japan has why it forced to accept key branches of Korea, including Yongsan, and also formed a “Cho-seon-gun”, and planned to explore and implement any aspect of its military strategy. The real outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War should be noted that it did originate in the Japanese Army's military occupation of Korea. Under the provisions of the 1904 Korea-Japan protocol, Japan imposed a mandatory mobilization of military forces under the pretext of military occupation of the Korea. The Japanese troops in Russia during the Russo-Japanese War can be seen as the Korean parking force supporting the operation unit, while being engaged in armed occupation, security securing, and defending in Korea. The two divisions permanently stationed in Korea focused mostly on maintaining the security of the Korea because of the unstable situation inside and on the border of the Korea, although the original purpose was to expand as a unit that had planned to fight Russia and China. The situation could have been changed to what it was originally intended for : Russia versus China, a northern army, by the mid 1930s. It is also noteworthy that it has already occurred since the mid-1920s to send “Joseon-gun” to China by menstruation in case of internal unrest. The “Kwan-to” military in Manchuria and “Joseon-gun” have shown a relationship to work together in case of illegal military activities in China. Already since 1928, moves to isolate Manchuria from the Chinese majorette and keep it under the influence of Japan have been made implicitly and conscientiously between the Kwan-to Army and its “Joseon-gun” advisers. As you can see above, “Joseon-gun” had the characteristic of being Japan's top military force as a military device to maintain its colonial rule and as a first aid to invasion of the continent. And behind Joseon-gun's active involvement in the Manchurian incidents was its strategy to fundamentally address them as the crisis in Manchuria, the crisis of control in colonial Korea, deepened. Meanwhile, the role of the “Joseon-gun” in the wake of the Manchurian incidents strengthened its character as a preparation for the Soviet war, exclusively in charge of the defense of Korea. But as stated, the “Joseon-gun”, along the border with 1938, has gradually changed its key role as the rear support of the Kwan-to Army and as a military base for Japan's continental invasion.
