Many countries in the world evaluate Japan as extreme, cruel, bloodthirsty, and violent. Because during World War II, many countries saw the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Japanese invading army, and even the people of many countries suffered the ruthless massacre of the Japanese army.
Some people say that they do not deny the intelligence and etiquette of the Japanese, but also admire their development and ability, but they will not sympathize with the suffering of Japan in any period, let alone forgive the crimes of the Japanese invading army during World War II.
As we all know, as the main war country in Asia in World War II, the Japanese army not only carried out inhumane massacres against China, but also did not have compassion and softness toward many other countries, but they regarded these crimes as an inevitable existence in war, and more brazenly claimed that they had not committed crimes against morality during World War II.
Today we are going to uncover the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders against the Australian nurses, and the time comes to 1942, when the Japanese invaders were preparing to attack Singapore, and the local residents and 64 Australian nurses began to flee Singapore.
Unfortunately, the Japanese did not give them a chance to flee, and soon the Japanese attacked the merchant ship they had fled, at which point 12 Australian nurses were killed and the merchant ship was about to sink in the fierce Japanese artillery fire. Watching the sinking merchant ships flee, some Singaporean refugees and 22 Australian nurses fled to the British-administered island of South Sumatra.
Just when everyone thought that they had escaped the disaster, the Japanese army landed on the island with a strong force, and in the face of such a situation, everyone could only choose to surrender, they thought that the Japanese army would abide by the Geneva Conventions and treat themselves well, but they did not know that their nightmare began.
At first, the Japanese did not harm the 22 nurses, first selected some of the wounded to "sacrifice" their bayonets, took them aside and brutally killed them with bayonets, and after the massacre, they shifted their targets to the nurses.
They first asked the nurses to go to the sea, and when they stood in a row in the sea, they began to shoot at them with machine guns, and in an instant the sea was stained red by the nurses' blood, and only one of the 22 nurses, a girl named Vivian, survived, and all the others were buried under the Bullets of the Japanese Army.
Vivian was concentrated by the bullet and fell into the sea, and she endured all kinds of pain and pretended to die in the sea, so she escaped the disaster. She then hid in the woods with a wounded British soldier, where they hid for 12 days, and the hunger and cold had no choice but to surrender to the Japanese again.
Fortunately, they were not persecuted by the Japanese army, but the British soldier died not long after, and Vivian was assigned to work in the back kitchen, so she remained here until the defeat of the Japanese army in 1945.
After the defeat of the Japanese army, Vivian bravely went to court and made public the cruel crimes of the Japanese army on the island, and after hearing her explanation, an Australian military commander cried with a headache, saying that he did not protect the girls, and even reprimanded himself for not being worthy of being their commander.
However, what people did not expect was that this group of Japanese troops was not punished by the law, but justice would never be late, and later in the battle between the Us army and the Japanese army, the Japanese army that had hurt australian nurses was completely annihilated by the US army, which can also be regarded as avenging the death of these nurses and wounded.
However, the matter did not end here, and later after the Australian investigation, the Japanese army insulted the 22 nurses before killing them, and each nurse suffered many cruel insults, but Australia did not make the matter public for the sake of the nurses' families.
Summary: Although we are all living in the era of peace, we can never forget the history, let alone choose to forget, today our beautiful life is countless ancestors with blood and life in exchange, their efforts we will always remember, everything in history we will always remember.
We will continue to work hard to keep moving forward, and strive to create a better and stronger country, and we will not let any of our predecessors down, their efforts we have seen, and they will certainly be able to see their efforts.
