During World War II, there is a very classic picture, when an American soldier is cleaning the battlefield of Iwo Jima, he sees a dying Japanese soldier, this Japanese soldier has an unexploded grenade next to him, he can detonate at any time with this American soldier to die, but he does not seem to have such a thought, the American soldier stepped forward to hand him a cigarette, the Japanese soldier satisfied with a few puffs of smoke and died.
The most classic part of this picture is that the relationship between the United States and Japan during World War II was very bad, and since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two sides have started many battles, but it is very admirable that the United States can treat a Japanese soldier who is about to die with such humanitarian care. But what Japan did to its wounded soldiers during World War II was terrifying.
In 1944, during the Battle of Saipan, a small part of the Japanese army was surrounded by the United States, and the two sides continued to fight until dark, when the army was not released, considering that the Japanese army might have an ambush, it did not kill a small number of Japanese troops, some of them were healthy Japanese troops who fled at night, and those who remained in place were some wounded, hoping to wait for rescue.
Originally, the Japanese commander could have ordered and rescued these wounded soldiers, but he cruelly assigned two Japanese soldiers to the location of the wounded and directly executed the wounded. It can be said that it is very cruel, and the Japanese have their own reasons for treating these wounded in this way, one is because these people are seriously injured and there is no way to fight, and they will continue to consume Japan's strategic materials, and another reason is that they are afraid that these wounded will be captured and then confess Japan's secret intelligence. Therefore, when faced with these seriously injured wounded, they were directly executed, and at first they would use shooting, and then in order to save bullets, they were directly executed with sabers, which was appalling.
Some of the lightly wounded could be treated with the troops, but japanese military doctors did not exist to treat the wounded, but to experiment with and execute the wounded. Most of the people who have watched the anti-Japanese drama have seen Japan conduct human experiments in China, and during the period of the invasion of China, Japan did conduct many chemical human experiments, causing great harm to the Chinese people at that time. Treating the Japanese wounded, they would inject them with air injections, and a large amount of air was injected into the blood vessels, and the blood and air mixed into blood bubbles blocked the pulmonary arteries, and it would not take long for these wounded people to die of myocardial infarction.
After Japan announced its surrender, the First Army Hospital of the Japanese Army in Tohoku received the order to retreat, and the director was afraid that the wounded would drag them down, and even threatened the wounded with a knife to jump into the river to commit suicide, and the wounded who were more seriously injured were directly injected with air injections, and the scene at that time was simply a killing. The way Japan treats its wounded is incomparably cruel.
