However, the strength of the Japanese army did not last long. 1943, the Japanese army was already going downhill, especially their army.
As a senior officer in the Japanese army's mind, it is natural to blame for the failure of the Japanese army in the middle and late World War II. Their wonderful operations in operational command and tactics also accelerated the failure of the Japanese army in various battlefields. Even because of various wonderful operations, it was ridiculed by the navy as "the enemy of undercover in our military department."
So what wonderful senior generals did the Japanese army have in World War II?
Ananwiki was one of the few senior generals of the Japanese invaders, which played a very good role in containing the army. When he was the commander of Japan's elite Eleventh Army, Anan Wiki, who had a humanitarian spirit, opposed the abuse of prisoners of war, and his reputation was much better than that of the other two generals of Japan's Eleventh Army, Gangcun and Yokoyama Yong.
However, this is the only advantage of Ananwiki.
As a soldier, Anami works very hard, but he doesn't have a bright future when he studies. Although he can be admitted to the NCO school, he should be regarded as a scholar in Japan. However, in the talented Japanese NCO School, Anan has always been a mediocre talent. Fortunately, he worked hard enough. After four years of failure, that is, in the last year of the application period, he was finally admitted to an elite school in the Army-Army University. Although Anan Wiki is not a member of Saber Corps, he graduated from Luda University (blessed by prestigious schools), but he graduated from Luda University and joined the General Staff or served as a military attache abroad. His connections are not strong, but he also became the emperor's bodyguard because of his handsome appearance (height and long legs).
Although he is the emperor's trusted minister, Anan Vicky's fighting ability is really flattering, because he used to be a bodyguard. From taking Nogi Maresuke as an idol, we can see that Ananwiki's ability is not enough, and the samurai spirit comes together. In the battle of leading troops, An An is a plain man, and the battlefield commander pays attention to local conditions, but An Wei Ji is a dumb head. As the commander of the elite 1 1 army of the Japanese army in the first three Changsha battles, he was conservative in tactics and liked to attack according to the script. In the battle, the Japanese No.1 1 1 army was the best, and Okamura directly sued him to the base camp at that time. If the emperor doesn't see his contribution as a guard, he will be sent to the reserve team.
After Japan surrendered, unlike the low-level generals at the bottom who like to face defeat by caesarean section, the senior generals in Japan are a lot of cowards in this respect. Have you noticed that private first class Tojo was called to have a caesarean section, but at this time he took care of his life carefully, which shows how hypocritical these senior officers and politicians are. But at this time, in the face of these colleagues who were afraid of death, the honest man "Anan" stood up and committed suicide after Japan's defeat. It can be said that he was a representative of Japan's foolish loyalty during World War II.
Different from Ananwiki's stupid loyalty, the herbivore むたぐちれんや is a famous military bastard. He often grabs the benefits of promotion and wealth for himself under the banner of being good to the emperor. When I was co-captain, I advocated launching the July 7th Incident without authorization, which led to the outbreak of the all-out war between China and Japan. When he became a commander, in order to be promoted to a general, he attacked India without supplies and air superiority, and consumed the elites of Japan and Myanmar in the Battle of Impal. He said that even in the absence of food and grass, "Japan is a herbivorous nation, and our army can always supply it on the spot and hit the impala."
After Impal's defeat, the man also said that he dreamed that Impal's soldiers were martyred every day, and he was willing to have a caesarean section to explain it to the soldiers. In the face of a fake officer, his aides collectively said, "One day, sir, if you want to do it, you don't have to keep saying it", satirizing their officers' fear of death. むたぐちれんや knew that his expression was dull, so he stopped talking about it.
"The Millennium Disaster" is an appropriate description of Mudaguchi.
After the war, Mudaguchi was spared from prison and even enjoyed his old age because he bribed the allies with the treasure plundered from Myanmar. Even opened a "Mongolian barbecue shop" after the war (むたぐちれんや has always been a fan of Genghis Khan). In his later years, he didn't even forget his black colleagues and slandered his three teachers for withdrawing troops without authorization. At that time, Miyazaki Shigesaburo, who had already retired, wanted to organize the Inpal Veterans Association to punish him. Scared him to withdraw his remarks quickly, which was ridiculous.
Like Anan Wiki and むたぐちれんや, there is Tumen Village, a Burmese. These people are not a little worse than Lu Li and Niu Shi Maman, but they happen to be the main senior officers of the Japanese base camp. Throughout these great powers who participated in World War II, compared with MacArthur and Barton of the United States, three famous German soldiers and zhukov of the Soviet Union, there are few senior strategists in Japan's army, while Yutian Jun thinks that the Japanese army lacks visionary strategists and mainly depends on itself.
Limitations of the Japanese army: The Japanese army itself has always pursued a small but refined representative (much like Britain). Compared with the Soviet-German general assembly war, the number of strategic fighters in Japan is only below 300,000 at most. Therefore, every senior Japanese officer is a qualified division leader, but not a qualified strategist, and lacks the command experience of a large corps, so both the pattern and the perspective of the problem are limited, which leads to their poor command performance.
Limited by Japan's strength: Compared with the Japanese navy in Gao Fushuai, the army has always been second-rate in the world, lacking equipment and military technology updates. In addition, the training of officers and non-commissioned officers and the teaching of Luda University have always been aimed at occupying East Asia. After the outbreak of World War II, Japan's strategic level has fallen behind the European and American powers.
The low level of Japanese strategy and pattern led to the poor operational command ability of Japanese senior generals and staff officers, and they were even ridiculed after the war. A large part of the success of the Pacific War is attributed to the command of these senior officers, and people on the Internet often ridicule these senior officers as allies undercover in the base camp.
The end—
