>This shows that, when the Japanese weren't led by tennoheika banzai retards
It's too bad that their military culture/army doctrine promoted this. commanders were encouraged to disobey direct orders and issue their own decisions if they felt the "national interest" wasn't being served. it's what led to the kwantung army trying to coup the civilian government and drag the country into a war against the USSR until they got their shit stomped in at Khalkin Gol. even on a tactical level, there was no way to stop some retarded platoon leader from leading a futile banzai charge if he thought defending a key objective was not "in the national interest"
