Okamura Ningji, who was full of evil in World War II, was invited to Taipei after his acquittal, and what evil did he do
At 9 o'clock on September 9, 1945, the three nine good days, the nine nine to one, returned to the beginning, returned to peace, returned to punish evil and promote good, and fulfilled a dream of the Chinese nation. However, the Nanjing government did not fully reflect the will of the entire Chinese people, and even acquitted Okamura Ningji, the former commander-in-chief of Japan's Chinese dispatch army, that is, the war criminal who signed and sealed the surrender certificate in Nanjing on behalf of Japan. Another 260 Japanese secondary war criminals escaped back to Japan aboard the American ship Uss Vickers, causing outrage among the entire Chinese.
People know that the Chiang Kai-shek clique was "first at home and then outside" and was once linked to "passive resistance and active anti-communism." In 1948, the third year of Chiang Kai-shek's clique's open provocation of the Chinese civil war in the Yu'e Border Region in June 1946, he did not even want the passive war of resistance of "hou and outside", but only openly comforted, flattered, and begged for the outside world for the sake of "inside" and "suppressing the communists".
At 9:30 a.m. on August 23, 1948, the Nanjing trial said that Okamura Ningji "was acquitted after the sun fell and there was something to assist the Chinese government." Okamura returned to Japan under the escort of the Americans and immediately assumed the position of head of the national military organization in the countryside.
Around 1949, a group of old officers, under the behind-the-scenes instructions of Okamura Ningji, the former commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, formed a military advisory group that supported Chiang Kai-shek's clique and trained the army for Chiang Kai-shek, called the "White Regiment."
Its regimental commander was Naoaki Tomita, the former chief of staff of the Japanese army stationed in Hong Kong recommended by Okamura Ninji, one of the backbone members was the former commander of the North China Garrison and commander of the Mongolian Army, and the other backbone member, Kiyoshi Ogasawara, was the staff officer of the former Chinese Dispatch Army.
The activities of the "White Tuan" in Taipei were strongly opposed by Chen Cheng and Sun Liren. Other Kuomintang generals also complained privately about how they could ask the defeated army to train their troops in the future.
When Jiang heard this, he was very angry and said: "Some people may say that after eight years of war with us, Japan invaded us in the past and made our enemies, and now that we have won the battle, we still have to invite them to be instructors and teach us lessons, which is really unconvincing." Do you have this idea? If there is, it is a great mistake. ”
The "White Regiment" was extremely grateful for Chiang Kai-shek's protection, so it did its utmost to strengthen and improve the Kuomintang army in terms of tactics, strategy, and war mobilization.
From 1949 to 1968, dozens of members of the "White Regiment" operated in Taiwan for 20 years, training nearly 20,000 military cadres for the Chiang Kai-shek clique. On October 24, 1949, during the Battle of Kinmen Ningtou, Genbo offered fire to the Nationalist defenders, resulting in heavy casualties of more than 33,000 people in the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
In 1950, Chiang Kai-shek hired Okamura Ninji as a senior instructor at the "Revolutionary Practice Research Institute" in Taiwan to train the army for the Chiang Kai-shek clique and provide advice.
After returning to Japan, Okamura, together with former Admiral Navy and Kawako Shiro, established a "Fuji Club" in Tokyo to provide Taiwan with information on its war history, strategy, tactics, and crisis in the Taiwan Strait.
According to incomplete statistics, in the 10 years from 1953 to the early 1960s, the "Fuji Club" sent more than 7,000 military books to Taiwan, more than 5,000 pieces of materials, including some germ warfare materials.
Perhaps there is providence in the darkness, Okamura Ninji did too many bad things, and in his later years he was tormented by the pain of losing his son and lung disease, and in September 1966, at the age of 82, he died suddenly due to a heart attack and too late to rescue him.
