In 1945, as World War II drew to a close, the German Nazis surrendered, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, and the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. Logically, Japan's defeat has been decided, but on the battlefield in China, the Japanese army led by Okamura Ningji is still a thief and stubborn, trying to reverse the situation on its own.
However, under various pressures, the Japanese Emperor finally announced his unconditional surrender. At this time, the Second World War can be said to be basically over, and the War of Resistance Against Japan has also come to an end. But how could the Japanese army, which was deeply influenced by imperialism, be willing to waste these years of slaughter?
Therefore, when the news of "unconditional surrender" came from Japan, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Okamura Ningji, only coldly said four words. So, what four words did Okamura say? Did his attempt to invade China succeed in the end? What was the end of himself?
Looking back at Okamura's past
As we all know, China's War of Resistance Against Japan lasted for twelve years. Japan's strategy of invading China has never been broken in the past twelve years, and this Okamura Ningji is the biggest general of the Japanese army invading China.
Okamura graduated from the Japanese Army University and ascended Chinese territory during the Japanese plunder of Qingdao in World War I. Later, he was transferred to the Aoki Consulting Office in Beijing and did more than four years of copywriting.
It can be seen from this that Okamura's various work in China in the early years was by no means illusory, and it also laid a hidden foreshadowing for him to understand China and invade China later.
After four years of work, Okamura returned to Japan as he wished. At this time, he was already one of the members of the famous "Three Feathers" in Japan. It can be said that the three members of the "Three Feathers" are all the best of the Japanese youth. In the Japanese military academy, these three people have obtained the top five graduation results in a cruel training environment with their own ability, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Okamura Ninji was a man of great ambition, and he was by no means satisfied with the status quo of tranquility, but wholeheartedly supported militarism, followed the Japanese government at that time, and preached militarism everywhere.
He had many henchmen, and for a time public opinion was overwhelming, and the mood of the Japanese people was also greatly provoked. Okamura's outstanding performance has enabled him to continuously stabilize and improve his position in the Japanese military.
Although he initially did only one propaganda work, but it happened that there was an eight-magnitude earthquake in Japan, he took the opportunity to play a role, frequently appearing in the social and political arena, and soon Okamura Ningji became the military attaché in Shanghai of the General Staff Headquarters.
From this point on, Okamura Ningji began to manage the endless persecution of China, and his "great achievements" can be found in any history book. When Japan shot and killed revolutionary workers, he cleverly pointed the spearhead of the Chinese people directly at Britain; after Japan's various aggressions against China, Japan's trade with China increased without decreasing.
Even more outrageous, he sent his cronies to serve as military advisers to each team. In this way, the land of China became a war film he directed and acted by himself, and Okamura Ninji wanted to use this low and clever means to test the strength of the army.
All-round invasion of China - Okamura Ninji "indispensable"
Okamura's various actions have done unfathomable preparations for Japan to launch an all-out war of aggression against China. He instigated the "invasion" ideology and emotions of the Japanese people, and in the period of spying to find out the strength of various armies, so in 1931, Japan finally launched the famous "918 Incident" in history and began to invade China.
After the "918 Incident", Okamura Ningji deliberately diverted the public's attention and sent two of his own cronies to launch the "128 Incident". Subsequently, Okamura Ninji personally came to Shanghai. Although the Battle of Songhu was basically over at that time, all this was inseparable from the planning and promotion of Okamura Ningji, the black hand behind the scenes.
In addition, Okamura Ninji also made a "great military achievement" for his Japanese Empire. In the northeast, for example, he slandered heroic anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians throughout our country as "bandits" and declared orders that they could be slaughtered wantonly. He established the Manchurian regime, strengthened the building of the armed forces, and bribed all the military and civilians to act as his "cannon fodder", but all this was the beginning of his invasion of China.
Counting the history of Okamura Ninji's invasion of China, it is surprisingly dense and dense. He was stationed in the northeast to establish a puppet Manchukuo regime; he commanded an attack on Wuhan, and was good at using his various tactics to play on the battlefields of China and Japan. Okamura Ninji formulated a precise plan for invading China, set up a detailed task sharing, and strived to complete his big dream of "invading China" in the shortest possible time.
Okamura ningji launched the Battle of Suizao and the Battle of Xianggan, burning and looting in northern China, almost all evil. The most famous of these is his "Three Lights Policy". These "three lights" are burning, killing, and robbing the light. Everywhere he went, Chinese people lived in deep trouble.
He forced China to accept the "armistice conditions" he offered, and although the Kuomintang agreed, Okamura was not satisfied with the concessions made to China, and he even threatened to take China in three months.
However, the Chinese people were not as weak as he thought. At the crucial moment, Chairman Mao Zedong stepped forward and determined the military strategy of "protracted war." It was this strategy that put Okamura Ninji, who was fighting a fast battle, into a passive situation.
In addition to the battlefields in China, Japan also had its armies in other parts of the world. In the long run, the Japanese army could not support it, and all this laid the foundation for their subsequent defeat. Okamura Ninji never imagined that he was "fighting in blood" on the front line, but his rear had already been on fire.
Four words from Okamura Ninji
As the war progressed, the strength of the Japanese army gradually could not keep up. When Okamura saw this scene, instead of stopping the attack, he was ashamed and angry and wantonly slaughtered the Chinese people. At the same time, he also formulated a plan, the "Jade Crush" plan. This decision clearly shows that we must fight to the death in the war of aggression against China.
International pressure is increasing, and the lethality of the atomic bomb is shaking everywhere. This brutal drama has also come to an end. The Emperor of Japan finally had to issue the Edict of the End of the War, declaring unconditional surrender.
At this moment, Okamura Ningji, who had heard the news of the surrender, had 800,000 troops and 200,000 elite Kwantung troops in his hands, and said only four words - "continue to attack." Vowing to die to carry out the invasion of China to the end, and breaking the net with the Chinese people.
Although Okamura's strength cannot be underestimated, the general trend of Japan's war of aggression against China has gone, and even if it is the final struggle, it will not last long. Chinese united and, together with the Red Army, which had come to the aid of the Soviet Union, drove the Japanese army out of Chinese soil completely.
However, at this time, Okamura Ningji really lost his ambition to "invade China" and shattered his long-standing Dream of Spring and Autumn. On September 9, Okamura, China's fiercest enemy, unsheathed his sabre and presented the Chinese soldiers with a letter of surrender with both hands. At this point, Okamura Ningji's dream of "invading China" was completely shattered.
