I know the Japanese were very strict on sticking to orders. I have come across references to Japan attacking Russian, Soviet, positions using an artillery barrage and infantry attack even though the Russians had moved out of those positions before the attack started. The were ordered to attack those positions so they did so. During WW2 a clash between a British and Japanese patrol resulted in the Japanese patrol being whipped out. Captured documents revealed not only the route of the patrol and its objectives, but also that if they failed to complete all of their objectives then other patrols would be sent out on the same route at the same time until all the objectives were achieved. So the following night British set up an ambush along the route and sure enough along came the Japanese and again the patrol was whipped out. This happened on a number of nights until someone higher up asked why they had not received a report from the patrol. It was only now having found out no one was returning from the patrols were they finally stopped.

@cvproj It's all that zen stuff. It still exists but in another reality. 😊
