Yes, from the perspective of the Japanese Army, they do not intend to fight a large-scale war. They intend to fight a "quick victory" and a battle between elites.
Why do you do that? There are two reasons. The first is not to deploy a large number of troops, so as not to affect the established strategy of the base camp, which is to fight for Hankou; the second is a battle between elites, which makes it easier to show their so-called "elite" strength.
In addition, there is another important reason. People in the base camp believe that they can "afford to lose" a division's troops. In other words, at worst, they will lose the battle. If a division is gone, it will be gone. , and it will not affect the overall situation of Central China.

However, although the Japanese base camp did not intend to fight a big war, they had to prepare for the Soviet army to fight an expanded battle. Therefore, in addition to the 19th Division of the Korean Army (Division), which was originally stationed in North Korea and prepared to fight the Soviet Union, The regiment commander, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo), not only dispatched and "rapidly advanced" into the conflict area, but also ordered the Central China dispatched army to "stop the advance" of the Northern Route Army led by King Higashino Miyazaki.
When he received this order, it was the time when King Higashikata Minuhiko was at his most high-spirited.

Don’t forget, in addition to being the commander of the army, King Higashino Higashinomiya Nohihiko is also the uncle of Emperor Showa Hirohito!
From another perspective, he is a member of the royal family, and his status in the army is transcendent.
"Baga Yalu! What do they want to do with these horse dung from the Army?!" King Higashikata Miyazaki cursed. How could he be in a good mood when something like this happened at this critical juncture? It must be extremely bad.
"Your Majesty the Prince, according to the secret telegram sent from the base camp, everyone except Navy Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa and Foreign Minister Ugaki are in favor of this war against the Soviet Union."
