Abe was born in Nanawa Village, [[Kitatsugaru District, Aomori]] (present day city of [[Goshogawara, Aomori]]). He graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army Academy on May 31, 1907 and served in the IJA 32nd Infantry Regiment, the [[8th Division (Imperial Japanese Army)|IJA 8th Division]] and on the staff of the [[18th Division (Imperial Japanese Army)|IJA 18th Division]]. From April 11, 1932 to August 1, 1935 he was commandant of the Sendai Army Training School. He commanded the IA 32nd Infantry Regiment from August 1, 1935 to August 2, 1937 and was commander of the IJA 1st Infantry Brigade from August 2, 1937 to June 1, 1938. On June 1, 1938 he became commander of the [[2nd Independent Mixed Brigade (Imperial Japanese Army)|2nd Independent Mixed Brigade]] which was attached to the [[Mongolia Garrison Army]]. |

On October 26, 1939 he led 1500 men of the 2nd and 4th Regiments of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade out of its garrison at [[Zhangjiakou |Kalgan]] south for an operation against the Chinese 120th Division of the [[Eighth Route Army]] under General [[He Long]] in [[Hebei Province]]. However, operations were quickly bogged down by the [[guerrila warfare]] tactics employed by the Chinese, who made good use of the rugged terrain of the [[Taihang Mountains]] and were able to encircle the Japanese forces.
