History

The Japanese 43rd Army was formed on 10 March 1945 under the Northern China Area Army as part of the last desperate defense effort by the Empire of Japan to deter possible landings of Allied forces in Shandong province during Operation Downfall. The Japanese 43rd Army consisted mostly of poorly-trained and poorly equipped reservists from other units.

It was demobilized at the surrender of Japan on 15 August 1945 at Jinan without having seen combat.
