On November 1, 2004, an old man on crutches came to Xinglong Town, Bayan County, Heilongjiang Province, with many reporters and soldiers, and the townspeople were very surprised by this.
It turned out that the old man's name was Kimura, who was 77 years old and had been a Japanese soldier in Japan's invasion of China. In the 60 years since the end of the war, the crimes he once committed in China have become his lingering nightmare, and his conscience has been condemned. And his purpose in coming here was to come to the scene to identify a large number of poison gas bombs that Japan had secretly buried.
During the war of aggression against China, Japan flagrantly violated international treaties and used a large number of biological and chemical weapons on Chinese soil, causing great harm to the Chinese people. What is even more infuriating is that before the Japanese surrendered, they also secretly buried a large number of poison gas bombs underground. Once these poison gases leak, it will bring a huge disaster to the local people, and many people will die because of it.
Before japan surrendered, Kimura's unit was stationed in the town of Xinglong, and they received orders from their superiors to bury all the gas bombs in the ground within 5 days. Due to the rush of time, the Japanese army only found a few places to dig pits and landfills, without going through any protective facilities, which undoubtedly left a great safety hazard for the local people.
Over the years, Kimura has felt very guilty. Now that only the soldiers responsible for the theft of gas bombs were still alive, he plucked up the courage and decided to personally go to the scene to identify and eliminate these hidden dangers. Since the surrounding environment has changed a lot because it has been too long, Kimura can only point out the approximate location from memory.
After careful investigation by the experts, sure enough, a number of ammunition depots of different sizes were found around Xinglong Town, and there were more than 80 burial points, and each ammunition depot contained more than 5 ammunition boxes. The ammunition boxes were already decaying and were not very well decomposed, so there were no leaks. Although Kimura was also one of the original criminals, his move also made the local residents very moved, and they thanked him one after another, and Kimura was left with tears of remorse on the spot.
Now that Japan's right-wing forces are gradually in power, and domestic militarism seems to have a revival, Kimura's behavior is likely to cause dissatisfaction from the Japanese government. But Kimura said that he was already a person who was about to enter the loess, and he was not afraid of this, but only hoped to die without regrets.
