English Explanation

遊撃 (ゆうげき) uses the On'yomi for both kanji. The correct reading 撃 (geki) comes from the 殳 (hoko-zukuri) radical, which denotes striking. Wrong readings like ゆうぎょう often confuse 撃 with similar-looking characters such as 業. It means "guerrilla warfare" or a "hit-and-run attack," emphasizing fluid, unconventional military tactics rather than a fixed siege.

日本語解説

遊撃(ゆうげき)は、両方の漢字が音読みです。「撃」の読み「げき」は、殳(ほこづくり)の部首から打つ動作を表します。誤読の「ゆうぎょう」は、「撃」が「業」と混同されやすいです。意味は「ゲリラ戦」「奇襲攻撃」で、遊軍による機動的な戦術を指します。
