The War of Resistance Against Japan was brought to a successful end thanks to the military assistance of our former ally, the Soviet Union. But in fact, the reason why the Soviet side was willing to lend us a helping hand was not to help our allies for free, but to seek greater interests at that time. You know, at that time, they put forward many harsh requirements to our country as a condition for sending troops to assist.
That is to say, the main reason for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan was because our own people made many efforts. In order to let everyone see the true face of the Soviet side, we will introduce to you the encounters of those Japanese prisoners of war who were escorted away by the Soviet side after the war.
After Japan's defeat, the Soviet side escorted hundreds of thousands of surrendered prisoners of war back to their own territory.
In fact, at the beginning, the Soviet side did not want to send troops to support China's War of Resistance Against Japan. Because they have just experienced the Battle of the Guardians, and have paid a relatively heavy price for it. If it were not for the favorable situation at that time, they would probably be more willing to quickly enter the recuperation period and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight
。 The main reason why the situation at that time was favorable to them was that Japan at that time had obviously been driven into a dead alley by our people. Coupled with the fact that the United States and other countries have also thrown themselves into the war and made corresponding preparations for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, naturally the Soviet side only needs a little effort to become the biggest winner in ending this war. Under such circumstances, how could the Soviet side still choose to stand idly by?
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, our country's approach was to repatriate most of the Japanese prisoners of war. However, the Soviet side did the opposite of ours, not only did it not easily spare these Japanese prisoners of war, but also brought them all to soviet territory for hard labor. People familiar with the knowledge of world geography should know that although the land area of the Soviet side was relatively vast at that time, the land area that was really suitable for human survival was not very large. In this way, after the Japanese prisoners of war were hastily sent to the Soviet side, they began to live a very miserable life.
The tragic experience of Japanese prisoners of war during their imprisonment on the Soviet side.
When the Soviet side decided to transport all the Japanese prisoners of war back to China, it was not prepared in advance to resettle these prisoners of war. Therefore, when these prisoners of war arrived on the Soviet side, they not only did not have enough to eat, clothe and warmth, but also had to engage in quite heavy physical labor. Because as we have already introduced, before entering the war, the Soviet side had just experienced an incomparably tragic patriotic war. That is to say, at this time, the Soviet side is in ruins and waiting to be revived. They needed these Japanese prisoners of war to serve as their free labor, and did not think of giving them a chance to return home alive.
Soon, japanese prisoners of war, who were not adapted to the local living conditions of the Soviet side, died in large numbers. But even so, the Soviet side did not change its original intention, still going its own way, and violently forcing Japanese prisoners of war to devote themselves to heavy work every day. Later, in the vigorous protests of the Japanese government, the Soviet side agreed to repatriate the sick prisoners of war. But the extent to which prisoners of war were sick had to be drawn to conclusions by the Soviet nurses. The Soviet nurses had no affection for the Japanese prisoners of war, so they were rarely given the opportunity to return home. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners of war were eventually returned to China with fewer than a few tens of thousands.
Third, the benefits gained by the Soviet side's participation in the war against Japan.
Judging from the crimes committed by those Japanese prisoners of war in our country, it is indeed retribution for their tragic fate. But at the same time, we can also clearly see the wolf ambitions shown by the Soviet side. You must know that the Soviet side's participation in this war against Japan has gained benefits far beyond those of other victorious countries.
First of all, he made a lot of excessive demands on our country before entering the war; second, he quickly defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army without effort, and captured many prisoners of war alive to return to their country as free labor, etc. It can really be said that it was cheap to let it be occupied. It can be seen that the Soviet side is indeed quite good at making wishful thinking.
Of course, this series of performances of the Soviet side has not been internationally recognized. After some Japanese prisoners of war were repatriated to China, they made public what the Soviet side had done. Unfortunately, even if this is the case, no one can do anything with the Soviet side. A large number of Japanese prisoners of war who were not able to return to China eventually died in a miserable fate on the Soviet side, and the Soviet side gained great benefits by bringing them back.
