The frenzied military expansion of the Japanese army not only caused serious damage to our country, but also pearl harbor in the United States was bombed by them. Even in order to realize the plan of dominating the sea, the Japanese army did not even let Australia go. The Australian port of Darwin was also ruthlessly bombed by the Japanese army. So, what did the Japanese do to the Australians? It is said that the means are also very cruel, and even the nurses who save lives and help the injured have not spared.
What we are going to talk about today is what this nurse saw and heard as a prisoner of the Japanese army. The nurse's name was Vivian, and it was the nurse's job to save lives and help the injured, so she had been following the organization around. Originally working in a hospital in Singapore, she and her colleagues managed to escape to The Island of Bongka after the Japanese attack on Singapore, and a few days later, some British soldiers fled to the island.
Perhaps the soldiers had exposed their tracks, and it wasn't long before the Japanese discovered the island, and in desperation, the helpless nurses planned to surrender to the Japanese. After all, after the First World War, there were international regulations that during the war, prisoners must be given preferential treatment and must not do anything to harm prisoners in violation of the humanitarian spirit.
But the brutality of the Japanese army far exceeded Vivian's imagination, and after seeing the 22 nurses and them expressing their intention to surrender, the Japanese army did not hesitate to take them to a beach, and after seeing the machine guns in their hands, Vivian and others reflected on what fate they were going to face.
The Japanese took guns and shot at them one by one, and when everyone had fallen, they left satisfied. Fortunately, Vivian did not hurt the point, and when the Japanese were all gone, she climbed into a hidden grove of trees to clean up her wounds. But due to the deteriorating wounds and insufficient food, Vivian could not stay any longer, so she had to go to the Japanese camp again. Thinking that this time, the Japanese army did not attack her, but put her in a prisoner camp, even though she never clashed with the Japanese army on the battlefield, but the Japanese army still tortured her with various inhuman means.
In addition to helping the Japanese army complete a large number of labor work every day, the Japanese army will deliberately make it difficult for her. And the hope that sustains Vivian's survival is the death of her colleagues. Vivian was looking forward to the day when she could wait for an opportunity to accuse her of the actions of the Japanese army.
Finally, after the Japanese surrendered, she was able to tell what had happened to her. The soldiers from Australia with her were angry when they heard that the nurses in their country had been shot and killed and tortured by the Japanese army, and some were even sad to the point of tears. They were ashamed of not being able to protect the women of their country, and they hated the Japanese army to the extreme.
Later, Vivian bravely stood in the military court, accusing the Japanese of how they had strafed the 22 nurses at the time. It was precisely because of this brave act of hers that the souls of those who unfortunately died tragically under the guns of the Japanese army finally got a rest.
