During hostilities in Shanghai, Nanjing, Cangzhou,Baoding, Nankou, Xinkou and linfen, the enemy won many battles, but took only a few prisoners and trophies. Five blunders----inadequate reinforcements, the lack of a main direction of attack, poor, strategic coordination, the inability to use opportunities appropriately, and the failure to annihilate more than a few soldiers through having encircled many---demonstrated the incompetence of Japanese military leadership
On Protracted War, delivered over a period of nine days, beginning on May 26, 1938 at an anti-Japanese symposium at Yan'an .

ｉｉ）鄧小平曰く、「日本は中国を助けたことになっている。・・・日本が蒋介石を重慶まで押し下げてくれたので、我々は日本軍の占領地域の後方に広がった。・・・・皆さんだけを責めるのは不公平だと思う。」（平成7年6月30日 中国政経懇談会）linklink
