A Mountain Operation in the Sino-Japanese War (1944)

Abstract

The purpose of my monograph is to describe a mountain operation in the China campaign. The characteristics of mountain warfare differ much from other types of combat, being limited by the terrain, greatly influenced by the weather and restricted by communications. All these factors greatly affect the concentration and the movement and operations of the troops engaged. In history there are many examples of mountain warfare dating from the Italian campaigns of World War II back to the fourth century campaigns of the Three Kingdoms in China.
