In order to launch a war of aggression and fool the people, the Japanese military high command in World War II molded the Japanese soldiers who were sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder into god-like beings. "Jackal Staff Officer" Masanobu Tsuji put the quality of Japanese officers and men in the first position in the world, and at the same time reduced the Us and British armies to worthless. Under the rendering of militarism, the Japanese soldiers became brave and unyielding, united and majestic. In fact, since the middle of World War II, after the loopholes of small resources and poor weapons and equipment levels have been magnified, Japan has begun to feel weak; the top level has intensified the push of troops into the battlefield to fill in the pits, which has made more and more Japanese officers and men dissatisfied, and in this context, many interesting stories have occurred on the battlefield.
Let's tell two interesting little stories in this article, the first thing happened on the battlefield in China. Under the heroic and united resistance of the Chinese military and people, in late 1944, the situation had been completely reversed, and in the small aspect, one of the obvious characteristics was that we wanted to capture Japanese soldiers, which seemed to be much easier. You know, at the beginning of World War II, the Japanese soldiers were like stones in the pit, not only accurate in shooting, fierce and tenacious in combat, but also very strong in physique, not to mention catching live, even if they were directly annihilated, they would have to pay multiple casualties.
With the progress of the war, more and more elite Japanese troops were consumed on the battlefield, not to mention the combat quality of the troops who replaced them, the militaristic brainwashing of these recruits by the Japanese top brass was obviously not done well, and in the face of guns and life and death, many of them had loosened their thinking. At the end of 1944, the Chinese army launched a new round of counterattack against the Japanese forces entrenched in the Luzhong area, and one of the independent battalions was responsible for uprooting a Japanese stronghold. After several battles, the Japanese army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, was gradually defeated and retreated, relying on 3 adobe houses to start a final struggle.
The Japanese army is relatively well armed, and the strong attack will definitely pay more casualties, and the Chinese army has a clever move and sends 6 prisoners. It turned out that not every Japanese youth was a militant, and these 6 people were captured and sent to the battlefield. After education, they realized their mistakes, and at this time, their task was to shout to the Japanese troops in the house, to persuade them to be smart and leave a way for themselves. However, the recalcitrant Japanese army not only did not respond, but also ridiculed the other side as a "coward", and instead of committing suicide to be loyal to the emperor, it actually surrendered to the enemy.
The words were so hard to hear that the 6 prisoners of war could not listen to them on the spot, and actually made dirty remarks on the spot. Originally, both sides were scolding people and not spitting dirty words, who expected that the more they quarreled later, the more fierce they would be, and what was ugly would be scolded. For a time, Japanese was floating on the battlefield, and the Chinese officers and soldiers could not interject, but instead became spectators on the side. Although the prisoners of war did enough "resistance", the helpless opponent was so powerful that he could not scold the other party, and the prisoners of war made a surprising move: one of them picked up a bayonet and rushed into the room to stab the local commander. The other side was obviously caught off guard, seeing that the commander was stabbed to death three or two times, and the remaining soldiers had no intention of fighting, and finally, more than 50 Japanese soldiers surrendered.
It sounds like a joke, but it happened more than once in World War II, and even the U.S. military encountered it. In the Battle of Sulfur, which broke out in February 1945, the American offensive was like a rainbow, and the Japanese army at the end of the crossbow was almost only beaten. In this battle, the number of Japanese casualties was 3 times that of the American army, except for 200 people who were captured, the remaining more than 20,000 people were all killed, which actually had the credit of Japanese prisoners of war. It turned out that before the Outbreak of the Battle of Iwo Jima, a small number of Japanese soldiers on the island had already felt abandoned, and in this war, the motherland had completely lost its chances of winning, but still forcibly sent young people into the fire pit as cannon fodder, such a shameless act made them feel indignant. Therefore, when the US military launched a surrender, Japanese soldiers came to surrender one after another.
In a battle, the Japanese army occupied a favorable geographical position and stubbornly resisted, the US army was once frustrated in the offensive, and the progress of the war situation was stagnant. In a pinch, 2 PRISONERs of war may have wanted to get a "leniency" for themselves, and they took the initiative to find the U.S. commander and asked to act as lobbyists for the U.S. troops before coming to the front. Who expected that the two prisoners of war were scolded by their former comrades-in-arms and sprayed with their own skin. After the two returned, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and they simply thought of a way: they touched the front as an artillery observer of the US army and let the US army fire in the rear.
The two men were already familiar with the deployment of the Japanese positions, and they knew the strengths and weaknesses of the fortifications, so they quietly touched the front line to observe the movement and assembly position of the Japanese troops, and then transmitted the information back to the American army through radio walkie-talkies. U.S. artillery used this information to launch a precise attack on the Japanese army, and the prisoners of war in the front transmitted the error back to the U.S. army. As a result, no matter where the Japanese were hiding, the shells were then smashed down, and the Japanese were so overwhelmed that they thought that the opposite side was open. According to statistics, with the help of 2 prisoners, the American army annihilated at least one battalion of the enemy army in this battle.
