Japanese veterans recalled: I committed too much violence in China, and I was reported to the present world when I returned to China in my later years
Ishida Kaneo, the son of a farmer in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, grew up working in a factory. In 1941, the Japanese army was undermanned, and Ishida was sent to China as a supplementary soldier. When he was at home, Ishida was a normal commuter, and not long after arriving in the Chinese battlefield, he became a beast.
Ishida recalled: After a hard day in China, I couldn't get much food, let alone meat. After arriving in China, as long as there was a shortage of food, soldiers were organized to "sweep up." Sweeping around the Chinese countryside, chickens and ducks have, if you are lucky, you can still grab cattle and sheep, which is more comfortable than living as a worker in China. When fighting was boring, soldiers would gamble and find women, and when there was no money to gamble, they would go to the nearby villagers to grab them, and if there was no woman, they would go to the village to catch them.
One day in November 1942, Ishida and a group of ghosts came to a rural area in Shandong to "sweep up". This time there was no boss's task, and a group of them had come to the countryside to rob. During the robbery, Ishida found a young woman, who seemed to be ill, lying on the bed, holding a child in her arms. Ishida saw that the woman was beautiful, and the animalistic nature was ignited, and he pounced on the woman. The sudden violence frightened the child in the woman's arms. The woman hugged the child tightly while rebelling against Ishida. The child's cries grew louder and louder, and Ishida was very angry, seeing that there was hot water in the pot on the side, he dragged the child over and threw it into the pot of boiling water. With a mournful cry, the child had no more sound. Ishida turned around and covered the woman's head with a quilt, and after the violence, killed the woman with a bayonet.
According to expert analysis, the Japanese army troops are only modernized in weapons and training, and they are still feudal warlords in the army's thinking. Officers are very rude to soldiers, often beating and cursing, long-term scolding without guidance (relying solely on militarist fanaticism, will only be counterproductive), so that the Japanese soldiers psychological extreme distortion, resulting in psychopathy, in the find more easily bullied objects, psychological venting suddenly opened, under the connivance of the Japanese troops, the animalism completely broke out.
