BATTLE OF THE PACIFIC: How Japs Fight

(6 of 6)

The essence of the Japanese officer's code is attack. The essence of the Japanese fighting man's strength is stealth. What will transpire in the South Pacific is by no means certain, because the U.S. has just begun to fight there, and the U.S. may seize the initiative. But Osami Nagano, too, has just begun to fight. The only certain prognostication about the South Pacific is that Admiral Nagano will attack with all the craft of which he is capable. If he is once defeated, he will attack again, craftily again.

Experience of the South Pacific war shows that the Jap is no superman and can be beaten. Osami Nagano can be beaten, but not without one hell of a scrap.
