In the old traditional concept, people regard being a soldier as a bad profession, as the saying goes: "good iron does not hit nails, good men should not be soldiers", this concept should be abandoned, and now it is "three years of regret as a soldier, and regret a lifetime of improper soldiers".
In fact, it is glorious and worthy of people's respect to defend the country as a soldier, but in specific battles, especially on the battlefield in the era of hot weapons, it is inevitable that there will be a small number of soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, so how can they survive on the battlefield?
The first thing that ordinary people think of may be to pretend to be dead, so can pretending to die work? People who are not soldiers think that if they pretend to die, no one will find out, and they will naturally be able to escape a disaster, in fact, this is just the opposite, pretending to die will not only not save your life, but also make you die more tragically.
The author first came to the era of cold weapons, the battle in that era was a sword, gun and sword, the cruelty on the battlefield was the same at any time, and pretending to be dead on the battlefield may be temporarily evaded, but if the other side wins, the fate of waiting for the dead will be very miserable.
As we all know, ancient battle achievements are determined by the number of enemies killed or captured, and if the credit is to be repaid, it is either by the head of the enemy or by the ears of the enemy, that is, the winning party will cut off the ears of the defeat and other means to obtain the battle achievements.
Imagine that in such a situation you dare to pretend to be dead? Then some people may say that it is not okay to pretend to be dead in the era of cold weapons, so in the era of hot weapons, you can always pretend to be dead! Many recruits have had such questions about this, but the veteran's words have completely chilled the recruits.
Pretending to be dead will have three more tragic ends, the first is to be shot by their own people, every time there is a supervision team on the battlefield, these overseers are responsible for enforcing battlefield discipline, once found that they do not obey the order to retreat or escape without authorization, they will be shot immediately.
In this way, not only will they be shot by their own people, but they will also leave a deserter's name, which shows how stupid this is, even if they are not shot by their own people, pretending to be dead to avoid the overseers, they will face a second miserable end, that is, the enemy clears the battlefield.
As far as the battle between the United States and Japan in World War II is concerned, this was revealed in the movie "Hacksaw Ridge", when many wounded or fearful soldiers in the US army pretended to be dead, and as a result, the large troops retreated, and after the Japanese army temporarily won a victory, it began to clean up the battlefield.
The Japanese soldiers will mend the knives or shoot the American troops on the ground, so that even if you pretend to die, you will not be able to escape death, even if you are lucky enough to avoid the Japanese army to repair the knives, then the corpses on the battlefield must always be disposed of, and the simplest way to deal with it is to burn it.
This is the third kind of miserable end, just imagine if you pretend to die, then it is likely to be burned, through these three situations, pretending to be dead on the battlefield is a very stupid act, only those who have not been on the battlefield, have not been soldiers will pretend to die.
