In Japanese, there is such a word "foolish general", which is used to refer to those more incompetent generals. Looking at the Japanese generals during World War II, there are great wisdom and great fools, so who is the "fools and fools" in the eyes of everyone? Open the Japanese search engine to index the word "Yu Jiang", and there are countless discussions about "Yu Jiang", and the concepts of Navy San Yu and Army San Yu have only heard folk mentions, but no official records, but include Inoue Narumi and Hosaka Koko. Lang, Kurita Keno, Teruichi Terauchi, Kimura Hyotaro and other high-ranking navy and army officials have been classified as fools. Although everyone’s speech lacks authority and consistency, the names of these two people appear repeatedly. It seems that no one is willing to vindicate the two of them. Perhaps these two are the real "fools and fools" in everyone's eyes.
Inoue Narumi has a general reputation in Japanese historians, but it has a very good evaluation in education circles.
Regarding the first person, I don’t want to repeat it too much. Everyone knows that it is the Japanese commander Mutaguchi Renpai who fought at Imphal. The reason why I don’t want to repeat it is because of his “stupidity”. More embodied in the command, specific examples can refer to specific combat history and battle examples. And this second person is a bit unusual, everyone focused on the issue of his affiliation. This person is Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyoji who is known as the "fleeing commander."
The Tominaga family is also talented. Tominaga Kyoji’s younger brother is Rear Admiral Tominaga Masazo, Minister of Personnel of the Wu Jinshufu; his brother-in-law is the commander of the 71st Infantry Wing, Toru Morita, who died in battle. He later pursued major generals); the eldest son Tominaga Yasushi is also a top student who graduated from Keio University, one of the best in Japan (unfortunately, he died as a special attack team member), but this Tominaga Kyoji himself left a very disgraceful one in the history of Japanese warfare. page. Why do so many people dislike him? Why has he been classified into the ranks of fools again and again? Take a look below and you will know.
The middleman is Tominaga Kyoji, who is also known as the three most foolish generals of the Showa Army along with Sugiyama Moto and Mutaguchi.
Tominaga Kyoji’s contacts in the army circle are unknown to me, but he knows that his relationship with Tojo Hideki is extra close, and he actually won "Tojo Hideki no waist scarf" (Chinese translation: probably Tojo The British plane's flattering meaning) Such a slanderous claim, during the Tojo cabinet, Tominaga Kyuji also relied on this relationship to increase the ranks, not only to rank as a lieutenant general but also to become a deputy general of the army, which is most surprising. It is that as the under-commander of the army, Kyoji Tominaga also serves as the head of personnel of the Army Ministry with real power. It is important to know that this part-time job was only done by Ishimoto Shinroku, who was the first under-commander of the army (1903). Such juniors lack too much convincing power.
So the Tojo cabinet collapsed in July 1944, and then in August, Tominaga Kyuji was transferred from the agency (maybe everyone is unhappy). It is ridiculous that even Lu Xiangshanyuan was mobilized by him. During the period, he mocked "Tominaga can be regarded as an eye-opener!". The implication is that Tominaga Kyouji has been working all year round in the government departments (the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, the military attache office of the embassy in the Soviet Union, the headquarters of the staff, the principal of the military school, etc.) ). In fact, Tominaga Kyuji did not have the experience of leading troops. He worked in the agency all the year round, especially ignorant of aviation operations. It was difficult for him to command the 4th Aviation Army.

Anyway, in August 1944, Tominaga Kyoji took over the position of Teramoto Kumaichi (a well-known commander of the Japanese Army Aviation) as the commander of the 4th Air Force, but this Tominaga Kyoji was praised. Not only is it bad in the organization, but it is also unwelcome on the front line. Teramoto Kumashi left a good hand that was sparsely played by him. According to the description of Japanese pilots at the time, Tominaga Kyuji liked to announce some lacks before everyone attacked. Constructive remarks, what they said, are not of any substantial help to the battle, and always mention at the end "You are all gods now, you are not fighting alone, this commander will also attack in the final battle." Yunyun, Even at the moment of the attack, Tominaga Kyuji pulled out his command knife or didSome other actions that make the pilots feel very uncomfortable. The most disgusting thing for pilots is that returning to home due to mechanical failure is a normal phenomenon, but Tominaga Kyuji also severely reprimanded this behavior for not understanding this behavior. During his tenure as commander-in-chief, Tominaga Kyoji issued 62 special operations and 400 pilots were killed in battle.
The special attack turned the young man into cannon fodder, and also killed Tominaga's son Tominaga Yasushi. He chose the special attack on May 25, 45.
Later, Wright Island was captured by the U.S. Army. Fongwen Yamashita, the superior commander of the 14th Air Force of the 4th Air Force, ordered him to abandon Manila and turn to Luzon for defense. I don’t know what kind of evil Kyouei Tomiaga committed. The refusal was given, and at the same time, two resignations were submitted. The reasons were physical and mental exhaustion. The situation reflected that the Southern Army General Command was directly rejected. But this Tominaga Kyouji didn’t give up, and if he didn’t let him go, he would go by himself. After some preparations, on January 16, 1945, without the approval of any higher authority, Tominaga Kyouji privately took the commander of the 4th Aviation Force The ministry moved to Taiwan, and did not forget to bring whiskey and geisha before leaving. Tominaga Kyoji’s behavior aroused extreme indignation from the Southern Army and the 14th Army and brought the lawsuit to the base camp. However, considering that the war was critical at the time, The base camp was too lazy to bring the 4th Air Force Command back to the Philippines, and directly disbanded the 4th Air Force Command. The more than 10,000 soldiers of the 4th Air Force who were left in the Philippines, except for a small number of repatriated soldiers, were mostly invested. In the future, all ground operations were killed.
"Malay Tiger" Yamashita is one of the few wise generals in the Japanese army.
What is the situation of Fu Yong Gongci in Taiwan? He knows the current affairs well and applied to be included in the 10th Front Army (that is, the Taiwan Army), but what happened? In the words of General Ando Riki, commander of the 10th Front at the time, "I can't accept your application!" He also denounced Tominaga Kyoji's behavior of escaping and avoiding war. It is also a coincidence that as early as when Ando Riki commanded the Japanese army to capture French Vietnam, this Tomaga Kyouji had an intersection with him (the first head of the staff was on a business trip in French Vietnam). At that time, he pretended to be the chief of staff to force him. The military order caused the Japanese army to be severely beaten by the half-dead French, and Tominaga Kyuji was suspended for this reason. How do you say Ando Riki will meet him? Not to mention that Tominaga appeared as a deserter this time, so Tominaga Kyuji did not join the 10th Front Army as he wished, and during his stay in Taiwan, the junior sergeants who saw Tominaga Kyoji rarely saluted him.

Actually, according to Japanese military law, acts like Tominaga Kyoji are to be punished with capital punishment, because at that time, in the history of the Japanese army, there had never been such a high-level officer to escape, but the last Tominaga Kyoji's disposal was still a hastily incorporated into the reserve service. After several mobilizations in the later period of the war, the strength of the Japanese army skyrocketed, and the Guangshi Regiment reached 173. A large number of reserve personnel had to be used to fill the vacancies of officers. In this way, Tominaga Kyouji came out again and became the division commander of the 139th Division of the Kwantung Army. Because it had been stationed in the relatively backward Dunhua area, Japan was defeated and surrendered almost without fighting. Tomiaga Kyoji was escorted to the Khabarovsk POW camp as a senior officer. During the period, he was also detained in a room with the great spy Leopold Treber until his release in 1955.

After returning to Japan, Kyoji Tominaga passed away without living a few years, but in many people's minds there was always such a scornful name for "fleeing commander". After the war, Emperor Hirohito showed that he was always right. Tojo Hideki all had a good opinion, but Tojo Hideki only disgusted Emperor Hirohito in employing people, especially Tojo Kyoji. In fact, in the book "The Famous General and Fool of the Showa", the well-known Japanese historians Kazori Hanto and Masayasu Hosaka criticized Tominaga Kyoji's inexhaustible body, and bluntly said that he was "the worst fool" (Chinese translation: the worst fool Will), this slanderous name can be regarded as quite official to Tominaga Kyuji in Japanese historiographyDefined.
