	Sometimes they did use those banzai tactics, but only to fool the western troops into concentrating onto that one sector, using the attack to quietly infiltrate a few saboteurs in a more quiet part of the front. They would blow up command posts and ammo dumps behind the lines, and take out sentries in preparation for the real attack which would be done silently later.
