Chinese strategy was superb. As they fell back toward Changsha, leading the Japanese to believe that they were still following the same old no-frontal-attack theories, the Chinese destroyed every rail line, every road.

The Chinese general hoped by these tactics to wear down the Japanese forces so that a general retreat would be ordered...
