On August 15, 1945, the Japanese Emperor announced his unconditional surrender, and most of the invading forces sent by Japan in various countries became prisoners, including the Soviet Union alone, which captured about 700,000 Japanese invading troops. Of the 700,000 Japanese troops captured by the Soviets, only 30,000 survived.
One surviving Japanese prisoner once recalled:
"We were forced to go to cold Siberia for labor reform at the request of the Soviet army, but none of this was anything, and what scared us most was the group of Soviet female nurses in white coats."
Nurses were originally angels in white, why would these "angels in white" in the Soviet Union make this group of innocent Japanese troops so afraid?
The reason was known to every Japanese aggressor.
In 1931, the Japanese army invading China created the 918 Incident and began to invade China madly, the three northeastern provinces were occupied by Japan and became Japanese colonies, and on July 7, 1937, the July 7 Incident broke out, and Japan launched an all-out war of aggression against China, committing heinous crimes in the land of China, burning and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, bringing deep disasters to the people of Chinese.
The Japanese aggressors invaded not only China, but the whole of East and Southeast Asia was invaded by Japan; during the war of aggression, wherever the Japanese army went, they burned, looted, and did nothing wrong, and the crimes they committed in the war of aggression and the disasters brought to the invaded countries are too numerous to describe.
What's more, in flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions, Japan has experimented with chemical weapons by treating civilians in the invading countries as guinea pigs, the most famous of which is japan's 731 unit.
The 731 unit is one of the means by which the Japanese invaders conspired to launch germ warfare and national extermination, they are a group of demons from hell, using biology and medicine as weapons of war, they built the world's largest germ factory at that time, and frantically used the people and prisoners of war of the invaded countries to do live experiments, which seriously violated humanitarianism and caused great harm to the invaded countries and peoples, including China, Korea, the Soviet Union, Myanmar and other countries.
Whenever the Japanese army captured a city, countless young women were forcibly abducted and imprisoned in comfort stations set up by the Japanese Kou, causing great physical and psychological harm to the women of the invaded countries.
In addition, the Japanese army also killed prisoners madly, the Geneva Convention stipulates that war has nothing to do with civilians, the army of any country can not harm civilians outside the war, and at the same time, soldiers who lay down their weapons, that is, prisoners, must also be treated kindly, but the Japanese invaders completely ignored the Geneva Conventions and carried out crazy massacres of peaceful residents and soldiers who laid down their weapons many times.
The various inhumane atrocities committed by the Japanese invading forces were condemned by the people of all countries in the world, but the Japanese army not only did not repent, but also intensified its efforts.
With the joint efforts of China and the world anti-fascist alliance, the Japanese aggressors were finally defeated.
In 1945, the Soviet Union sent troops to northeast China, cooperated with the Chinese army, launched a war against the Japanese Kou, annihilated a large number of Japanese Kosovars, and captured 700,000 Japanese invading troops.
After Japan's surrender, the Soviet Union adopted an effective measure to deal with the captured Japanese invading forces.
The Soviets transported these Japanese prisoners of war to the cold siberia and gave them labor reform in the Siberian region.
The Japanese army's various anti-human atrocities during the war of aggression had long been angry, and the Soviet soldiers were very disgusted with these beastly Japanese troops, so they did not give them enough warm clothing and food, so that the Japanese prisoners could fend for themselves in the cold Siberia.
At that time, the Soviet Union sent a large number of female nurses to the Siberian prisoner of war camp hospital, and in addition to providing medical support to the soldiers guarding the prisoners of war, they also had to take on the responsibility of treating Japanese prisoners of war.
Soviet female nurses despised this group of Japanese war criminals very much, and in the face of the Japanese army that was sick in a cold environment, they directly chose to ignore them, did not treat them, did not give them "sick leave", and the Japanese army had to drag the sick body to continue to work; not only that, they sometimes deliberately rescued those sick Japanese troops, but just when these Japanese soldiers were just getting better, they immediately stopped treating them and let the Soviet soldiers send them to the labor site to continue working, and the Japanese army had to continue to work with a "half-sick" body.
In the end, of the 700,000 Japanese prisoners of war, only 30,000 were repatriated.
Therefore, the Japanese prisoners of war would be very afraid of the Soviet female nurses, and frankly said that the Soviet female nurses were their nightmares.
