In a martyrs' cemetery in Jilin Province, northeast China, there is buried a "martyr" with a special identity, his name is Ita Sukeo, the only Japanese in yanbian area who is commemorated by a monument, and behind him, there is a moving story hidden.
The story begins in 1932, since the Japanese army established the puppet Manchukuo regime in the three eastern provinces, it began to unscrupulously transport a large number of Japanese troops here, including this Itachi Sukeo, but to be precise, Ita Sukeo was "tricked" into coming here. Because in order to promote the so-called militarism in Japan, he constantly brainwashed the people and told them that Japan did not come to invade China, but to "help China develop", and the peace-loving Sukeo Ita believed it and came to China.
After coming to Tohoku, Sukeo Itada saw what the Japanese army was doing, and only then did he know that he had been deceived, and at this time he was extremely sad, how much he wanted to do something to atone for the japanese who had committed a heinous crime! But he was just a small supply car driver, and he couldn't do anything at all, and the days went by like this.
In March 1933, Sukeo Ita followed the team of Tsuyoshi Tsuyoshi to Da lishugou in Wangqing County, Jilin Province, and brutally burned and looted the innocent people here, and Sukeo Ita could no longer bear it, and he made a major decision - he wanted to help the Chinese army!
So Itasuke silently drove away the supply truck full of bullets and other military supplies, ready to give 100,000 rounds of ammunition to the Chinese guerrillas who were ambushing nearby, so that they could aim their guns at the Japanese army! But such an approach is undoubtedly a major crime of treason, and Itachi Sukeo is extremely entangled in his heart, and in the end, he decides to commit suicide, and before committing suicide, he writes a suicide note:
"Dear Chinese guerrilla comrades, I have seen your propaganda scattered in the ravines and know that you are guerrillas led by the Communist Party. You are patriots and internationalists. I would love to meet you, but I was surrounded by fascist beasts and cornered, and I decided to commit suicide. I gave your army 100,000 rounds of ammunition that I had brought. Please aim at the Japanese Fascist Army and shoot. I wish the sacred cause of communism early success! ”
The final payment was "Sukeo Ita, a member of the Japanese Heavy Duty Brigade of the Kwantung Army", and after writing it, Sukeo Ita turned his gun on himself and committed suicide by drinking a bullet.
The "Anti-Japanese Salvation Guerrilla Army" led by Zhou Baozhong found itself and this Japanese military vehicle filled with bullets in the pine forest, and after seeing Ita Sukeo's suicide note, everyone was very moved, so they decided to take it back to it for burial.
As soon as this incident came out, the leaders of the Japanese Kwantung Army were very angry, and directly dismissed Tsuyoshi Tsuyoshi today, and scolded Itachi Sukeo as a traitor, and then conducted "ideological rectification" for all the personnel of Itachi's brigade to prevent such a thing from happening again.
On the Qingming Festival in 1933, our army buried the body of Itachi Sukeo and the anti-Japanese guerrilla martyrs who died in this war together, and erected a monument for him, which reads - "Internationalist Fighter Itachi Sukeo 1933". To this day, people come to the Wangqing County Martyrs' Cemetery to mourn this venerable Japanese soldier.
