As Japan's most notorious war criminal during World War II, Hideki Tojo raised a large number of lackeys in order to monopolize power, in addition to the "four traitors" we introduced earlier, there is also a Tominaga Kyoji.
To what extent is this Tominaga Kyoji shameless? Just look at his nickname – "Hideki Tojo's trouser belt".
What does that mean? It was tightly wrapped around Hideki Tojo, but Hideki Tojo's orders were from!
Not to mention, Tojo Hideki liked this kind of obedient subordinate the most, and naturally would not treat him badly, since Tojo Hideki came to power, Tominaga Kyoji earned a position of "Army Personnel Bureau Chief" with his pure horse-ass kung fu.
Which position has been the most popular since ancient times? Isn't it the Personnel Bureau, after all, it is in charge of everyone's future!
During his tenure, Kyoji Tominaga did not fish for oil and water, so that whether in the Army or the Navy, his wind evaluation was surprisingly poor. But what can be done? Who told people to have Hideki Tojo as a patron?
However, Kyoji Tominaga's good days came to an end in the second half of 1944.
At that time, with the Landing of the Allied forces in Normandy, the successful opening of the second battlefield, thus reversing the situation in World War II, at the same time, the Japanese troops stationed in the Mariana Islands suffered a devastating blow, Japan ushered in the most difficult moment since the outbreak of World War II, and the Tojo cabinet also fell in a state of criticism.
Just as the so-called tree fell and scattered, watching the mountain fall, Kyoji Tominaga, who used to be a mighty blessing, suddenly became the "fish meat" on the chopping board and was thrown to the Philippines as the commander of the Fourth Air Force. The name of "Commander of the Air Force" seems to be not small, but you must know that at this time, the Philippines is a new battlefield in the Pacific War, and an unprecedented war is about to be fought here, so being sent here is tantamount to being cannon fodder.
Let's take a look at Kyoji Tominaga, this old man has been in the office since graduating from military school, he has no idea what the real war looks like, and now that he has suddenly come to the front, what kind of fame can he make?
In fact, Kyoji Tominaga really couldn't make a name for himself, because from the time he came here, the Japanese army was basically in a passive situation of being beaten. During the Leyte Gulf Landing, the main force of the Japanese army was almost completely destroyed, and the navy suffered a devastating blow, and the Japanese army temporarily held the Philippine position only by virtue of the numerical superiority of the air force.
At this moment, Kyoji Tominaga, who was already desperate, heard a message that made him even more desperate: his unit was transferred to Yamashita Bongwen to fight a final decisive battle with the American army!
Not to mention that this decisive battle is almost equivalent to sending him to death, and the sworn enemy of Yamashita Fengwen alone is enough to scare Kyoji Tominaga out of his mind. It turned out that Yamashita Andeibu and Hideki Tojo had always been at odds, and to Tominaga Kyoji, who had risen to the throne by patting Hideki Tojo's ass, was even more despised, and it was not difficult to imagine what It would be like for Kyoji Tominaga to fall into his hands.
Since there is no way to live, why should you be aggrieved by yourself? Kyoji Tominaga simply turned his heart sideways and slipped away!
Before leaving, he also sent a telegram to Yamashita Fengwen, claiming that he had a stomach ulcer and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to recuperate and reorganize the team.
Although Yamashita Fengwen was eager to kill this guy immediately, considering the instability of the Japanese army at the moment, if the scandal of the commander's escape broke out again, this battle might not have to be fought again, so the military department unanimously decided to temporarily suppress this matter.
Of course, this shameless fellow could not escape punishment, and later Kyoji Tominaga was sent to northeast China, and finally fell into the hands of the Soviet Red Army, and was imprisoned in Siberia for a full 11 years, which was also worthy of his guilt.
