Huang Chi-hsiang (Huang Qixiang) commanded 11 Army Group prior to the Pacific War, and held various deputy commander positions during the Pacific War. His character as a general may be judged from an eyewitness report of a subordinate in 1944 (Hastings 2007):
We go the order to retreat. A mass of men, horses, carts, was streaming back. It was a shambles. I suddenly saw Huang Qixiang, our general, hurrying past us on a horse, wearing pajamas and only one boot. It seemed so shockingly undignified. If generals were running away, why should ordinary soldiers stay and fight?
