introduction
At present, with the rapid development of information networks, there are many ways to exchange information, whether it is paper mail or network digital transmission, the efficiency is very high. But in ancient times, due to the lack of high-tech network technology and efficient and convenient express delivery industry, so the mail and carrier pigeon transmission information has become a must choice, Xu Wei recorded in the "White Pigeon", "lift the wings in the sky, according to the people to the big state." "But relatively speaking, because the mail station takes a long time in the transmission process, and there are inevitable accidents, so the carrier pigeon is a more efficient way of information transmission, but the carrier pigeon into the war is the advantages and disadvantages, during the War of Resistance found this animal, why should the soldiers kill immediately? After reading the following, you will know that this is all a bloody lesson.
01
The history of carrier pigeons appeared earlier, as early as the Spring and Autumn Warring States period there were records of feeding pigeons for viewing and eating, but the real conscious use of pigeons to train their ability to help transmit information originated in the Sui and Tang dynasties. We all know that during the Tang Dynasty, Japan came to China frequently and learned a lot of excellent culture, and the breeding and training skills of carrier pigeons were transmitted to Japan and other places during this period.
In the 15th-16th centuries, that is, the Sengoku period in Japan, carrier pigeons began to appear on the battlefield to transmit military information, and then with the passage of time, Japan paid more and more attention to the role of carrier pigeons in information transmission, so the scale of breeding was also expanding. In the Edo period, the people could also use carrier pigeons to convey information. However, the carrier pigeons of the Edo period were still of high value, and ordinary people could not afford to raise them, and only some merchants used carrier pigeons when transmitting information on the prices of grain and other commodities.

At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, Japan's military strength was greatly improved, and the carrier pigeon, which was originally a high-value product, became the standard of the army, and in the army's intelligence transmission work, the carrier pigeon assumed a pivotal position and role. In the 26th year of Meiji in Japan, in order to get more carrier pigeons for military intelligence transmission, the Japanese army specially built a loft, marking the official use of Japanese carrier pigeons in the army. Since then, the "military pigeon" has become an important part of the Japanese army.
During Japan's war of aggression against China, it brought the best japanese military pigeons to the battlefield to help the Japanese army pass on information. It can be said that these military pigeons are the accomplices of the Japanese army invading China, and with their existence, our side is more dangerous, so as soon as this animal is found during the War of Resistance, the soldiers will not hesitate to kill it immediately.

At first, this seemingly ordinary pigeon did not attract the attention of our army, and then, with the passage of time, the Japanese army was successful on the battlefield, and our army suffered heavy losses, and these bloody lessons made our army discover the danger of military pigeons. In order to hinder the smooth transmission of information from the Japanese army, our army specially formed a small team, and the task was to kill the Japanese military pigeons that transmitted information in the air. Without coherent information transmission, the Japanese army was very cautious in every step, which also left our army with the opportunity to catch up. So, in a way, it's important to kill a carrier pigeon.
Later, the Japanese army learned that our army had specially killed their carrier pigeons and blocked their information exchange, so they decided to build another breeding training base to increase the number of military pigeons, and in order to protect them from harm, they also established a very strict defense system to prevent our army from destroying them. After hearing about it, the local people spontaneously joined the army of sabotage pigeons, but this military pigeon was well trained and would change its flight posture and orientation at any time, so it was generally difficult to kill it.
The captain in charge of pigeon removal at that time was very worried about this, and in order to destroy this large number of raised military pigeons, he disguised himself and mixed into the team that delivered fresh food to the Japanese army, and quietly poisoned the food of the military pigeons. Soon, most of these military pigeons died, which was also a heavy blow to the Japanese army. Later, the Japanese army surrendered, and these remaining pigeons were picked up by the local people and taken home, all killed to make a pigeon feast, these tens of thousands of pigeons are properly trained on weekdays, full of muscles, and the people eat happily.
epilogue
In the Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it is recorded that "things are in the ears of men, and those who have decayed bones know." "The pigeon itself is just an ordinary animal, but because of the improper use of Japan, those military pigeons have been forced to become the object of people's disgust and have become accomplices in the war. It can be seen that it is not the pigeons that are at fault, but the Japanese army that uses them as tools.
