How would China have fared in WW2 if they had legendary figures like Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to lead them?

Poorly since everybody was trying to learn how adjust from ww1 tactics, even well into ww2 on the African front.

Why would having some of the greatest strategists in history be a handicap to them? You don't make much sense desu famuri.

Don't over purchase into memes.

If you look at the Africa campaign, you'll see one general gaining 500 miles because of land because of ineffective tread pins on enemy tanks, then losing 500 miles because they have limited fuel. No grandmaster tactics here or there. Their scouts would smell blood and then they would yolo.

The very early battles in the war were guessing games.

When Zhuge Liang's army was short of arrows, Zhuge Liang devised a devilish scheme to collect enemy arrows to use against them. Who's to say the Sleeping Dragon wouldn't be able to overcome logistical limitations that undid many lesser strategists?

Sun Quan was the one who thought that up irl.

Wouldn't change much because WW2 wasn't the kind of war where a single hardened veteran guy could hold a bridge against hundreds of reluctant soldiers by spooking them. At best the units under their command would perform well.
>Zhuge Liang
*teleports behind you* *steals the entire arsenal* *invents atom bomb before everyone else* nothing personnel kid

Legendary as in the actual inhuman legends, or as in the massively overrated historical personages?
