Born in Japan in 1884, Okamura was repeatedly listed as the main war criminal among Japanese war criminals, but under the protection of the Kuomintang, he was not punished as he deserved. During the Liberation War, he plotted attacks on the Liberated Areas as Chiang Kai-shek's secret adviser.
Okamura is a demon in Chinese's heart, and he knows China well. As a Class A war criminal, he committed countless murders during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Later, even a few days before Japan announced its surrender, he ignored orders at all levels, vowed to resist to the death, and ordered "continue to fight."

Trajectory of activity in the early years
Born in 1884, Okamura Served as the captain of the Kiyokuni International Student Team at the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School at the age of 23. Powerful warlords of all sizes after China, such as Sun Chuanfang, were both his classmates and his students.
Okamura first entered China in 1915, when the then 31-year-old Okamura was sent by his superiors to Qingdao, China, to collect information as a staff officer in the Warriors' Division. He is a very ambitious person, he has long set his sights on the land of China, so in his work, he often chats with people to understand China from all aspects of size.
In less than half a year, Okamura Ninji was able to talk to people with Chinese. After 7 years of service, he was transferred to the General Staff. His main task was to collect political, economic and military intelligence information on China, and he was transferred to Shanghai the following year to specialize in espionage.
In 1925, Okamura was transferred to Japan and promoted to colonel. In 1928, he led an army to fight china in Qingdao, and was sent as a Representative of the Japanese side to negotiate with China on many occasions. In 1934, he served as the head of the Second General Staff in Tokyo, where he remained primarily responsible for espionage activities.
Okamura Ninji served as second minister for less than two months, and as a businessman, he repeatedly entered China to collect intelligence and wandered around the country. From Dalian in Shenyang in the north to Nanjing in the south, he made a few Chinese friends and cooked Chinese food in the process.
In 1937, he led an army into the northeast of China, and the military forces suppressed the local anti-Japanese army. The following year, he was promoted to commander, and on the same day of his promotion, he attacked Wuhan on the orders of the emperor.

Battlefield thinking
Okamura was taught to win and fight. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he was forbidden to read books outside the classroom, and while other classmates were studying exclusively, Okamura was already troubled by his own life problems and life and death problems.
Since then, Okamura Has gradually understood the root of the place of refuge and entered the cultivation realm of "no body, eternal soul" and "mission regardless of life and death". Soon after serving as a second lieutenant, he had been in and out of the gunfire twice.
I knew that the first time I encountered an enemy in the forest, I was already standing on a tree stump and commanding easily. The second time he sneaked into the valley to fight, but did not die, he was wounded by two people. Okamura then remembered this experience and felt ashamed. After that, he was sent to work in China for a long time, sometimes as a consultant and sometimes to fight in China. He said he was never afraid, but sometimes felt that as a Japanese, he had to have more courage and deeper strategy when he encountered threats to life and death among foreigners.
As a person who was born and died with the army from childhood, Okamura Ninji's thinking on the battlefield is that completing the task is the first priority, but don't think too much about life and death, life can be, death can also be, life and death can also be ignored. So in Okamura's mind, winning and completing the task is the first priority, and nothing else matters.

Defeat
On August 10, 1945, Okamura received an order to fight the United States with all his might against the Soviet Union. Asked him to support the Kwantung Army against the Soviet Union. However, he was confused by this command. I just received news two days ago that Japan was ready to surrender, and now it is saying that it is going to fight, which is really confusing.
On 12 August, he received another notice, writing: "Accept the Potsdam Declaration on the condition that the emperor's rule will not be changed, and if the conditions are not met, intend to continue fighting." Surrender, this is something that Okamura Ninji absolutely cannot accept. On the same day, Okamura Ningji received a secret telegram from an old friend, saying that he would never collect troops! At the same time, the words of the old friend of the military leader made his heart relax a little.
On August 13, the Tokyo staff officer called and said that the base camp was still sending troops to prepare for a long-term confrontation between China and the United States and the Soviet Union. Okamura thought darkly. Fortunately, there was no surrender, and the war was still to be fought.
On August 14, Okamura again received a secret telegram from the base camp, in which he was ordered to defeat the invading enemy on the spot. Moreover, Midian once again stressed that it is necessary to confront China, the United States and the Soviet Union for a long time. However, interestingly, it is said that shortly after Okamura Ninji issued the battle order, Tokyo received an urgent telegram and decided to surrender.
At noon on August 15, 1945, the Emperor of Japan announced his surrender for the first time in history. Things have already been decided and cannot be changed. The whole army must obey the emperor's decision. Okamura listened to the radio and fell into a cold cave. He also had more than a million people, but he didn't know why he surrendered.
The moment he learned the news, Okamura was like a dream, not believing why the emperor chose to announce his surrender. This goes against the teachings he received from childhood. On the 8th, there was a sound of wind, but Okamura continued to ignore it, and the order continued to attack.
In the hot summer, Okamura Ninji wore a neat suit, and the physiological sweat was drenched, which did not warm the heart that fell into the ice cave. The Emperor spoke, and Okamura Ninji did not accept it and must accept it. Japan's surrender is a matter that has already been determined.
Okamura Ninji for a long time with a large number of heavy troops, against the war
The torrent of history continues, Japan's surrender is a foregone conclusion, and resistance behind the scenes is futile. All that should come will come. The path of aggression against other countries is doomed from every point of view. Ninji Okamura, who resisted death in the past, ignored and denied the historical facts of today's Japanese people, which is delusional.
