In 1938, on the Lushan battlefield, the Nationalist army position found nearly a kilometer away on the enemy position, and there was a black "wild boar" jumping up and down. After that, the "wild boar" put on a glittering helmet, and the veteran of the Nationalist army learned that it was a Japanese ghost with thick hair, and he picked up the three or eight big covers and aimed at it with one shot. Not long after, news came from Within Japan that the whole country mourned the "death of an important figure in battle."
The protagonist of the story is Kunigoro Iizuka, a student of the 22nd class of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. At that time, many of China's generals studied in Japan mostly at this military academy. After graduating, Iizuka had high hopes from the Japanese military, which intended to build it into a model soldier, from small soldiers to generals, from all sides to package propaganda, in order to encourage young people in Japan to join the army, and then invade many Asian countries, including China.
In August 1938, Iizuka, who was already at the rank of infantry Ōsa, was surrounded by a group of domestic journalists with the emperor's mission, from the Japanese mainland, with the Japanese 101st Wing, landed on our mainland, planning to join the Battle of Wuhan.
As soon as Iizuka landed on the west bank of Lake Poyang, he was met with stiff resistance from the Fifty-third Division of the Nationalist 25th Army, and one of Iizuka's 101st Wing was destroyed. Iizuka was furious and decided to use all his housekeeping skills. The Fifty-third Division avoided its sharp edge and took the initiative to retreat, and Iizuka thought that the other side was afraid to fight and flee, so he chased after it.
Unexpectedly, Iizuka was blocked by the Sixty-sixth Army on the way deeper, and this time suffered heavy losses. Iizuka almost went crazy and decided to go down a path to the black, and the more he suffered, the more he attacked. Later, Iizuka was blocked by the 160th Division on the line of Ushimai and Bowl Mountain, and this time the 101st Wing led by Iizuka attacked fifteen consecutive times, but all of them failed, and the Iizuka Wing changed from active attack to passive encirclement.
This joke is big, and before he has made a meritorious contribution, he will face being completely annihilated, which is a model of combat, and it is clearly a negative teaching material. Iizuka was thinking about how to break through to save his life, but the Japanese military reporters stopped working, and their task was to report on Iizuka's "heroic" combat deeds overseas--- to defeat and defeat, and their own jobs were important.
One of the reporters, Kosuke Yukio, came to Iizuka's team on september 3 to prepare to take some photos of Iizuka, a "labor model". Kosuke first flattered Iizuka, praised his combat prowess and invincibility, and hoped that he would cooperate with several poses to take pictures and send them back to domestic newspapers for publicity.
Thousands of wear horse farts do not wear, Iizuka pondered anyway idle is idle, since the other party is so sincere, then take a few pictures, save domestic fans are always worried. Therefore, Iizuka and Kotoyuki came to the position and began to pose for photos.
At first, Iizuka shined his muscles and took a few shots with his katana, but the mouth of the little man who was like a sparrow kept praising and encouraging Iizuka to stand in a high place with good light to shoot again. Iizuka then stood on the stone and posed in various shapes.
Iizuka was able to become the face of the Japanese military because of his beard and fierce appearance, which represented the beastly ferocity of the Japanese army. After Iizuka stood on a high place, he jumped up and down in various poses, and was discovered by the soldiers of the Nationalist position 800 meters away.
At that time, when the soldiers of the Nationalist Army saw Iizuka's black hair-covered black head, they thought it was a wild boar, but after a while, Koto Yukio actually asked Iizuka to wear a helmet to take another series of portraits. Iizuka simply didn't stop, stripped off his shirt bare-chested, put on his helmet, and set up another series of shapes for Kotoyuki to take pictures.
At this time, on the position of the nationalist army, several veterans who came down to patrol from their superiors came over, and the few soldiers who found the "wild boar" quickly called the veterans to come and see the "wild boar". The veteran fixed his eyes on it, Iizuka just put on the helmet, the helmet was shining, the veteran was sure that it was either a pig, or the head of a Japanese devil was moving.
Iizuka dared to do this because he knew that the guns used by the nationalist generals were made in Hanyang, and the effective range of the domestically made Hanyang was 600 meters, so they designed the station at 800 places for safety. However, what Iizuka did not expect was that at this time, there were veterans sent down by the superiors of the Nationalist Army to patrol, and this veteran just happened to have snipers with accurate marksmanship, and these veterans just happened to have the three or eight big gai'er captured from the Japanese army this time, and the effective range of the three or eight big gai'er was just 800 meters.
At this time, the two armies were facing each other, and everyone was fine anyway, so they let one of the veterans who had been a sniper practice marksmanship. So everyone took out the cigarettes, legal tenders, and villain books in their pockets as bets, betting on whether the veterans could hit them.
The veteran soldier also came to be interested, and took aim at the three or eight big covers. But Iizuka was so excited that standing on the rocks he kept shaking from side to side, jumping up and down, really like a wild boar that had eaten a chili pepper, and the veteran couldn't aim. Everyone kept urging the veterans to shoot, and although the veterans were already sweating, they still calmly waited for the opportunity.
According to Koto's later recollection, after he took a picture of Iizuka, Iizuka also talked to himself with emotion about his former wing commander, Osamu Kana. Iizuka said: Yukio Gana died while fighting the 88th Division of the Nationalist Army, and after that, his ghost did not disperse, and he often went to his home to haunt --- this person really can't do it, if he dies in battle, he will not disturb his family quietly. Everyone laughed after listening to it.
Then Kosuke left with his fruitful results, and Iizuka got up to say goodbye. Since the end of the photo shoot, Iizuka no longer jumped up and down, and the veterans of the Nationalist army here finally caught the opportunity. Iizuka watched the little Yukio leave, and as soon as he turned around, the veteran quickly pulled the trigger, and with a bang, Iizuka fell to the ground.
The penetration of the three or eight large covers is excellent, unlike other guns, it will burst into a large hole in the human body, but a hole equivalent to the diameter of the bullet, if it is not a critical point, it is generally not fatal. But Iizuka was immediately dead, there was no struggle, no pain, and it was quiet, so the veteran's shot must have penetrated Iizuka's heart.
Iizuka's death made the Japanese military feel extremely depressed, as if the long-awaited hard dish turned out to be a piece of. Iizuka is already a benchmark figure in government propaganda in Japan, and if it is reported truthfully that Iizuka was shot and killed by Chinese soldiers like hunters beating rabbits in the absence of combat, this obviously does not meet their propaganda needs. As a result, the government informed Iizuka that he had died on the battlefield like a hero.
For a time, the death of Japan's combat "hero" made the people sad, and the whole country mourned the savage-looking Iizuka.
In January 2013, staff from the relevant work departments found a buried tombstone in the Xiufeng Scenic Area of Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi Province, and after cleaning, it was determined that it was the tombstone of Iizuka that was killed that year. At that time, the Japanese army led by Iizuka was stationed at Hideho-ji Temple, and all the monks in the temple were killed by him, so few people know about Iizuka's burial here.
This tombstone inscribed with the words "The Tomb of Captain Iizuka" is still lying on the ground in the Xiufeng Scenic Area, and if you go to Lushan To visit, you can find this tombstone that represents the death of Japan no matter how it performs.
