Was anyone blamed for Japan's defeat at Tai'erzhuang?
score:2
Accepted answer
Rensuke Isogai took the blame.
According to Who's Who in Twentieth Century Warfare by Spencer Tucker, which contains a short biography of Isogai,
Isogai took blame for the debacle and never again held active combat command.
His entry on Wikipedia suggests that his career peaked as lieutenant-general in command of 10th division. Soon after being transferred to chief of staff of Kwangtung Army, he was implicated in the Battles of Khalkhin Gol, and was one of the generals forced into retirement1. He was recalled to serve as governor of Hong Kong, however, as WWII ramped up.
Also, judging from the career trajectory of SeishirΕ Itagaki, chief of staff of Kwangtung Army would be a demotion. Itagaki held the post himself in 1936, being promoted to commander of 5th division in 1937.
