论“二战”时期日军坦克兵种的滞后

On Backwardness of Tank Service of the Japanese Army in World War Ⅱ

与西方列强相比,第二次世界大战中的日本陆军,在军事学术的诸多领域表现出明显的滞后。其中,坦克兵种的弱小是最典型的例证,这主要体现在坦克的质量、数量以及战略战术的运用上。由于坦克部队的建设直接涉及国家经济实力、战备技术水平以及军事思想的演进等基本方面,所以对其进行重点探讨,或许最能反映问题的实质。

Compared with western powers,during the World War II,Japanese army had fallen obviously behind in many fields of military affairs,whose typical example was the weakness of its tank service. It was mainly embodied in quality and quantity of tank,strategy and tactics,etc. As the construction of tank service is directly connected with one country's economic power,military technology,military ideas and so on,a deep research on the tank force may help to objectively appraise the overall strength of Japanese army in World War II.
